ALL VOTERS SHOULD Be
REGISTERED BY AUGUST a

Under the state law the secretary
of state must mail to each and every
known voter pamphlet containing
the initiative and referendum measures
that are to be voted on at the next
election together with the arguments
that are advanced both for and against
them.
The same law compels the various
registration officers in the state to GER
tify list of the registered voters in
their respective precincts to the Sec
retary of State not later than August
4th. This list makes up the mailing
list of the Secretary of State so that
only those who are registered prior
to the time the lists are certified will
receive the copies Of the measures and
the arguments.
As all of these proposed and re-
ferred measures are of more than
passing importance, it behooves every
voter to register as soon as possible
so that he can get all available infor-
nation and cast an intelligent ballot.
It takes only so seconds to register
and the books are open every week
day from a. m. to p. m.

EVERYBODY NEEDS
OVERHAULING EVERY Year

Just as house is thoroughly over
hauled in the spring from attic to
cellar, so should the human body re-
ceive thorough physical examination
suggests DR.. Paul A. Turner, Direc-
tor of the State Department of
Health. It is at this season of the
year rhat the charmed land suggests
recreation and individuals should be
physically ready to participate in it,
DIR. Turner advises.
In the summer the golfer buys new
golf sticks. The baseball fan is out
in the backyard demonstrating how
a curve ball should be thrown and the
hiker keeps his packs and khaki
clothes in condition.
For the middle aged person parti-
cularly, physical examination before
strenuous exercise is participated in is
splendid thing, DR.. Turner points
out. Just as hivver is tuned up and
looked over before it takes long sum-
mer trips, so should human body
receive special attention before it is
put to hard exercise after winter of
no special athletic activities and Of
sedentary occupations.
AS soon as the weather becomes
warm, the desire for muscular acti-
yity becomes insistent. Lack of exer-
cise contributes to many present day
diseases. Sunshine promotes cheerful

the cHILp's TRAINING

The Nationel Kindergarten Asso-
ciation in a nationwide campaign that
it is conducting in an effort to mn
press upon the country the fact that
the first and most important training
child receives is in the home, illus
trates the point in series of little
home happenings of which the follow
ing is one:
Company was coming. The atmos-
phere of Johnny's home was tense;
the very shiriness of woodwork and
furniture, the forh:dding sHck-span-
ness of every room, even to the nur-
sery, caused the tired eyes of Johnny's
mother to glow with satisfaction and
the round orbs of Johnny to over
cloud with gloom.
Two busy days of preparation had
brought the heavy droop to the shoul-
ders of the mother, who little realized
how many irritable words had been
thoughtlessly, impatiently directed to
the defenseless laddie. And now when
all was ready and the guests were due,
the fresh, crisp linens that gave John
ny such smartly starched appear
ance merely heightened the uneaS-
ness that filled the boys heart.
Company arrived and there was a
food of warm embraces; the strain,
atlas! was very hard on Johnny.
Then the long anticipated visiting
began, and who could wonder that the
general relaxation caused all the
pent-up. steam in Johnny to burst
forth, most shockingly1
The ladd;e's mother, near distrac-
ton, thought not of the reason for il,
but remembered only how fatgued
she was from much unnecessary work.
Too weary to think calmly, she pun
ished hint little matters how be-
fore the strange, Unlocking crowd.
Terrible Humiliation bore down up
on Johnny, and caused the fair young
head to droop with shame. The world
was black indeed, filled with harsh
indifference, and the cruel people in
it smiled behind their handsi o, If
he had just been punished where they
could not see-those eyes now so
amused at his distressi Then he and
his mother might have kept it all
secret. He need not have lost his
boy;sh self-respect.
Yes, if she had but thought mo-
ment, and given him change to
quiet that excited little mind in the
seclusion of his room, later to come
forh from there rested, self-controlled
then he could have met their faces
with a frank boyish purpose to dis
turb no longer. That would have
spelled victory for Johnny. But as it
was, in silent modification, he skunk
away from everyone, and the memory
CT that day was never bright.
Briise not the fine stem Of the
flower o Mothcri lest it Lift it's face
less frankly to the light.
