Having won three out Of four
from the Red Sox. the Athletics
are reported to be right cocky in
face of the maullng Griffmen's
invasion. Fresh from their triumph
in New York, where they killed
off the Yankees like rebellious
sheep, IL sheep ever rebel, the
Griffmen can see no definite rea-
son why they should not come
home next Wednesday with q
record for this trip truly befitting
world champions. In spite Of their
splendid showing against the Red
Sox, the Mackmen do not appear
formidable to the victory-loving
ball players led by Buclxy Harris.
The first series with the Yankees
was regarded as an important test
for the Griffmen. Somehow the
feeling persisted outside Of Wash
ington that the Yankees were the
strongest team In the American
League championship race Of 1924.

1t has been through his constant
ccr- incing performances that he
has reached at last the pinacle,

1.-THE Shock" is a Universal
Jewel production of unusual
merits. 1t is the first time on any
screen that a replica of the San

produced.
CLANCY, though east as de

from his usual run of characteri-
cations and brings one of the most
vivid performances ever seen on
the silver sheet.
The production is well worth
seeing and stands out as one of the
good pictures of the year.

You see, Buster sleeps whenever he
feels sleepy. 1t makes no difference to
Buster whether it be night or day.
But IT makes all the difference in the
world to Chatterer. Chatterer is in
doors at night. Yes, indeed, just as
soon as the Black Shadows begin to
creep through the Green Forest Chat
terer retires. You see. he has no de-
sire to make the intimate acquaint-
ance of Hooty the Owl. So because he
sleeps all night he is very wide awake
through the day, and he cannot un-
derstand how anybody else can sleep
when he himself is so wide awake. SO
after watching Buster awhile, he
whisked away to see what otfieri mfS-
chief he could get into. 49,,
Now presently he ran across some
good mushrooms. My, you should have
seen his eyes sparkle when he saw
those mushrooms. Chatterer is very
fond of mushrooms. Furthermore,
Chatterer knows how to take care of
mushrooms so he can have them all

chief. He began gathering mushrooms
and putting them up in a tree where
they would dry and so keep. He for

thing else. Chatterer may be mis-

of time idling, but when he works he
works. There isn't lazy bone in that
small body of his when there is work
really to be done.

ing each one to dry. He licked his lips
and thought of the feasts he would
have when the Green Forest was
wrapped in snow.
By and by Buster Bear awoke. He
heard the rustling of small feet. He
heard them going back and forth,
back and forth. Quietly and without
making sound he got to his own feet
and peeked around a tree. He was
just in time to see Chartered scamper
up, a tree with a mushroom in his
mouth. Right away Buster Bear be-
came interested. He became very
much interested indeed.

The First DaY.

The first school day in September Is
an occasion of national Importance.
NO other day is so religiouSly oD-
served throughout the country, save
perhaps Christmas and Thanksgiving.
and none other is truly as far-reach-
ing in it's results. The youth of the
Nation Is set in motion toward FAR
off goal. Each parent and teacher and
child sets out with high heart and
bright vision. This day is the begin
ming of the host Of happy days to
come. If only the bloom would not
so soon vanish. Perhaps we could
keep 1t a bit longer if we made a
stronger start.
Get the child ready in body and
mind. Begin the week ahead and buy
his clothes. 1t is right that he should
start the school term with bright,
fresh clothing. The color of the rib
bon or the stockings or the tie Is
very important to the child. Send him
off with a satisfied thought as he sur
veys himself in the mirror before
making his bow to the teacher. If he
thinks he looks just right he is likely
to match that with feeling all right
and doing all right.
l would not dress a child in clothes
he has carefully kept for church at
tendance If l could help 1t. Clothes
have such a power to catch and hold
associations, and church and other
formal ceremonies have a different
mood from the one best suited to
school.
School needs the bright. quick,
eager, inquiring mood that driyAm1fhe
child to skip and dance and question
and pry and be glad all over. Stiff.
creaky shoes and starch about the
neck and tightness about the middle
will spoil the best first day that ever
was planned.
Buy the school clothes with that
