RESOURCES ON PARADE

"See America First is a loyal
American slogan. proudly used by
the citizens of this great nation.
In localizing this patriotic spirit
we would say "See Wyoming First"
Let this be a "See Wyoming year.
and let it be seen, not with the
time and cost of actual travel, but
conveniently concentrated at the
Wyoming State Fair.
For that is what this great ex-
position is-a concentration OF all
the varied activities in agriculture.
in industry n in art of the citi-
Izens of our great state. You will
find in its many departments, dis
plays of Wyoming grown products,
~lpurebred livestock raised on Wyo-
ming ranges, commodities manufac-
Itured in Wyoming from the vast
resources of this great state.
The Wyoming State Fair which
will be held at Douglas. September
18th to 18th this year is a state
institution supported for the edu-
cation and the entertainment of
the people. The management in
vites every man, woman and child
to be a state fair visitor, and
hopes every visitor will appreciate
the full benefit to be gained from
a thorough and leisurely inspection
of all its departments. The fair
is too ~stupendous a thing to see
hurriedly. There is too great a
mass of important material to be
assimilated in a short time. Surely,
an exposition that takes hundreds
of men, specialists in their p
tive fields months of advance pre-
paration, is worth more than a
flying visit.
Every possible preparation is be-
ing made to insure your comfort
and convenience at the fair grounds
If you drive. you will find safe
and sane traffic regulations and
convenient park spaces. If you
come by train you will find all

Now It isn't very difficult for one
who can move quickly, and who is
himself capable of getting out Of sight
instantly and keeping out of sight, to
SPY on other people. Skink followed
in the direction that Whitefoot the
Woodmouse had taken. Presently he
caught sight of Whitefoot. From that
time on he didn't let Whitefoot out
of his sight, but he took good care
that Whitefoot didn't see him. So
it was that he discovered Whitefoot's
home, which was, of course, what he
had hoped to discover. Whitefoot
went in. Presently he came out
again and went off. Skink waited and
watched. Was Mrs. Whitefoot at
home? He had no desire to put his
head inside that home if Mrs. White
foot were there.
You know. they say that patience
brings its own reward. Skink was
patient. After while he saw Mrs.
Whitefoot put her head out of the
doorway. For a few seconds she sat
looking about Then she came out and
Skink watched her disappear. No
sooner was she out of sight than like
a flash Skink was at the doorway of
Whitefoot's home. Eagerly he thrust
his head inside. Then he backed out
disgusted. That home was empty.
There were no babies there. Skink
felt that he had been cheated and was
in a bad temper. Then he remem-
bered that he could always come back
to this home, now that he knew where
it was, and perhaps on another visit
he would have better luck. So he
once more went to catching insects.

Holding Fast to Happiness.

perately. You can't blame me for

Il never went anywhere. / was just
a wallhower. Then he came and told
me he loved me and l became i'm
portant all at once. 1 got to be happy
and full of anticipation for each new
good time
when I found out that he was
looking at other girls, l was miser-
able. And when the news came to
me that he was falling for Mildred,
the one girl in this place who has
all the men and all the good times,
1 just couldn't bear it another second.
$50 I told him a lot Of lies about
Mildred, and he dropped her like a
red-hot coal. He's back with me now
and he seems to be pretty crazy about
me again. But I'm worried, because
hate to think I've done thing
really wrong. Was it wise of me to
do what 1 could to hold my happi-
ness?"
The writer of this letter is Greta,
and perhaps if she reads her own
letter in print this way, the incon-
sistencies will stick out SO she can
see them.
In order to hold her happiness
she's done something unfair and un-
kind, and is now worrying over it
continually.
Ed isn't. your happiness, Greta.
Your state of mind is your happiness
and if you're all het up wondering
whether you did wrong-or whether
Ed will stick to you anyway, you're
not happy.

from boredom and unpopularity-but
the fact of the matter is that he
stopped being your happiness the min
ute you began to suspect him of low
ing some one else.
You're never going to have any real
peace and joy with that man of yours
while you know he's only sticking
to you because you told lies about
another girl whom he was beginning
to love.
Don't you see, you've always got
that dragging uncertainty: Would he
go back to her, if he knew the truth
Is he only fond Of me now because
he believes the worst of herr"
How are you holding on to your
happiness-when you're robbing your
self of all peace of mind? You girls
who think that n man means happi-
ness must learn that unless you have
perfect sense Of trust and conf
dence in that man, he will bring moth
ing but misery and uncertainty. The
only way you can possibly hold ON to
your happiness, Greta, is to give Ed
his chance to fall for Mildred all over
again--and then If he proves disin-
terested in the lovely vamp, you will
know that he is rally yours and you
will have no need to hold so fast to
your happiness.
1t is unwise to hold too tightly to
something which is bringing you only
doubt and misery. Better get rid of
it altogether than to hold it to you in
a desperate determination not to let
it go.

DIARY OF A
NEW FATHER
BY ROBERT r.. DICKSON.

Monday night.
Last night l thought l was going
to have to spend all day today doing
the shopping for our bridge club party
tomorrow night, but I got up late
this morning and Joan said for me
to put the toast on while she attended
to the baby, and / did, and then l
started shaving. and when Joan re-
membered that she had forgotten the
toast, it was not toast any more.
She said, eye gods, you've burned
the toast" l said, How do you figure
I burned it? You just told me to
put it on. You didn't tell me l was
supposed to stand there and nurse
it," and she said, Il knew it. l can't
trust you to do the simplest little
thing" and / said, II suppose l ought
to hang my head in shame because I
don't get the meals and do all the
housewOrk for YOU" Joan said, II
ask you to do such an awful lot for
me, don't u" and I said, 81 win tell
the world you do. I'm supposed to
be earning a living today, but instead
I've got to do the shopping for your
darned old bridge party"
Joan said, "Well, l won't bother
you. You wouldn't do it right any
way. I'll get the janitor's daughter
to stay with the baby, and I'll go
downtown myself" and that is how
1 got out of doing her shopping, and
sometimes you are not so dumb as
your wife thinks you look.
Well, tonight when l came home 1
started playing with the baby, and
I was trying to teach him to talk be-
cause he is months old and 1 do
not want him to be ignorant all his
life. and I said, Say, Hello, daddy"

fathers health too, darling. My

Chicken-M Mushroom Pie.

Wash and dress one chicken of four
or five pounds, place in kettle,
cover with boiling water and boil
rapidly for 80 minutes. Then lower
the fire, add level tablespoonful of
salt, and simmer slowly until tender.
Remove from the liquid and disjoint,
and remove the bones or not, as pre-
ferred. Arrange the chicken in a
large round, rather shallow baking
dish. Place the liquor in a saucepan
with one cupful of chopped celery,
one-half an onion, a few sprigs of
parsley, and simmer for 20 minutes.
Stir three tablespoonfuls of flour with
two tablespoonfuls of butter, then
add the stewed celery and stir until
smooth and thick. There should be
at least two cupfuls of liquid and
celery. Season with paprika and a
little salt if not salty enough. Place
one pint of fresh chopped mushrooms
over the chicken and pour over the
celery and stock. Cut rounds from
biscuit dough with a small cutter.
Place these close together over the
top Of the chicken. Brush with milk
and bake in the oven until brown.

Train Child to Eat Gracefully

ing no attention to this way of attract
ing notice. or perhaps some other
method has to be devised.
1t is when a child has been taught
the rudiments of using spoon, fork
and knife that managing them grace
fully can be instilled. How this is to
be done varies in different countries
and even in different parts of coun-
try But whether the child is expect
ed to use a fork alternately in left
and right hand, as is the general
American way, or Is expected to keep
the fork in the left hand and reserve
the right for the knife. in continental
style, there can be ease and grace in
the methods.
Speed a Barrier.
The greatest barrier to correct eat
ing on the part of children is speed
They are in a rush, because they are
hungry or because they want to get
to play or to do something else be-
sides just eat 1t is a mistake to keep
a child waiting too long for every one
to be served before giving him any
thing to stay his hunger. A child is
naturally impatient - and naturally
hungry. BY supplying his plate with
a little food at a time both these
things can be assuaged and speed
minimized.
Surprising Manners.
There are children, usually lads
who surprise those outside the fam
lily by their strange table manners.
Some of these children come from
families of culture, where the parents
are puctilious in their habits of grace
and ease. When the child is their
only one he may be so spoiled or so
catered to that his ways are not ques
toned. When he is one of several
children, neglect seems to be the only
excuse. Occasionally the child is
odd" not in mentality, perhaps. but
in refusing to conform to social rules.
There are children of this sort who
are difficult to guide, but whose ma
lures are lovable, and there are
others where perversity is the domi-
nant note. However, the majority of
children can be taught easily to ac-
quire good table habits and manners.
Things to Avoid.
Certain things are simply mot
done" at a table. For example, reach
ing in front of another instead of ask
ing for a dish wanted is barred. Pick
ing out the largest or the best is rep
rehensible. 1t bespeaks seltishness.
Shoveling food into the mouth with
the head bent down Is awkward as
well as bad form. Leaving the table
without asking to be excused is an
other habit to be Stunned. These are
but some of the commonest things a
child should be taught to avoid

bination of beige georgette and black
satin. The pleated skirt was attached
to an underbodice The sleeves of
the blouse were long and tight fitting.
The neck line was round. A bow of
black georgette fell from the left
shoulder. The blouse was embroid
cred in self color in an all-over pat
tern. A bow OF beige at the low
waistline repeated the blouse color on
the skirt.
Black satin was Nancy's choice in
a coat. It looked simple enough, but
was really quite intricate in cut.
Both wrong and right sides of the tex
tile were combined to give variety in
texture. The collar was of white err
mine. Nancy learned that monkey
fur was the smartest trimming of
all. Dyed rabbit was good also.
She chose ermine because of her
new hat. It was small with a crown
completely covered with white vio-
let's. The only trimming was bow
of white grOsgrain ribbon,
