LITTLE BENNY
BIZ LEE PAPE.

Our cook Nora is going to leave this
week on account of making a lot OF
money in the stock market, and this
afternoon ma went down in the kitch-
in to see IL she could coax her to
change her mind, saying, Rely, Nora,
MIR. Potts and I both think this is a
very silly move on your part, the wise
thing to do when you make q little
money is to put it carefully away
where 1t will accumulate by drawing
its own intrist, instead of throwing
away your job like an abandoned flow
er and living on your capital till it dis
sappeers like thin air, that's what Mr..
Potts and I both think, ma said.
Well ! think diHrent, Nora said.
And she kepp on drying the dishes
and singing to herself happy, and ma
said, But now RELY, Nora, Mr.. Potts
and both think you'll regret this step
when its too late, making money in
the stock market Is ony the purest
luck and If you keep on you're sure
to lose 1t all again and much more be-
sides, in fact they often let you win
the ferst time just to encourage you
to lose the End and 3rd time, and be-

rediculisS, it would be funny If it was
ent so laffable, how can a millxman
know anything about the stock mar
ket, If he was CRATE financeer he
wouldent be q milkman, he'd be q
CRATE financeer instead, so you'd better
just put your money away and be
grateful for your luck and go rite on
as you are, ma said
But that's not all there is to it, Nora
said, and ma said, Why, what elts is
there? and Nora said, The milkman
wunts to marry me.
Well If he does its for your money
ma said, and Nora said, No indeed and
its not and you're just jelliss.
Nora, I've got good mind to dis
charge you as I've never discharged
a gerl before, ma said, and Nora said,
It's too late mum, I've resigned.

may be included, except sage.
It is also possible to get a liquid

such as is mentioned, which goes by
the name of kitchen bouquet.
There is a suggestion of daintiness
and beauty about a bouquet. even in its
culinary form. 1t will be seen that In
this, 1t deserves such an attractive
name, for 1t supplies a welcome aroma
and taste to soup, and 1t may even
resemble a bunch of flowers in form.
In its significance of perfume, the epi-
cure delights in the fragrant aroma of
fine tea almost as much as its taste
1t will be remembered that not so very
far back in history, tea was so rare and
so costly. that 1t was kept under lock

Oklahoma's tall, gray-haired Senator

Senator Thomas plan Is at least

keep the total Of the regular expenses
of the Government within the coun-
try's income, only absolutely essential
and non-avoidab!e items should be en-
braced in the several departmental
bills and acts.
Then to avoid increase in taxation.
"and at the same time pursue a sound
business policy" he suggests that all
items for equipment, repairs, extern
sions and construction be placed in
separate and special bill to be known
as an emergency relief bill.
The cost Of these items, the Senator
proposes to finance by bonds to be
known as relief bonds.

the various clubs responded to
toasts. The serving of the banquet
was done by members Of the Klev-

present from Glasgow and Poplar
who had not been able to attend

GOOD Will" NEEDS
CLOTHING AND SHOES

Mrs. A. M. Poulson, in charge
of the Goodwill" room across
from the Liberty, says that al
though there have been many do
nations of clothing and shoes, the
supply is inadequate to meet the
needs of all who apply. Many Red
Cross orders are being turned ov-
er to the Goodwill to fill.
People are asked again to give,
and give generously of clean used
clothing, shoes, overshoes, toys,
if they are in shape so they can
be fixed up for use-for Christ
mas will soon be here and prepar-
atoms are being made for Christ
mas boxes, etc. Mrs. Kelly, on the
Red Cross committee, says that
she wishes people would not throw
away anything that could be of
use to someone else. Overalls, too
ragged to serve their original pur-
pose, may have good pieces which
can be used for patches. The same
is true of stockings, undercloth-
ing, etc. Dresses can be made ov-
er, even though they are worm in
places. Something one person may
think is worthless may be just
what some one else is in need Of.
Clothing should be clean.
Mrs. Poulson gives generously
of her time in looking after the
distribution of clothing. She re-
ceives no money for her time, and
some days is kept so busy that
she has little time to devote to
her sewing. The rent of the shop
and it's heating is kept up by the
proceeds from used garments
which are sold at very nominal
prices, a few cents in most cases.
The work being done by this
department of the Woman's club
is worthy and merits the support
all who have anything to give.
There has never been a time when
the need is greater than it is this
fall. Let's all give what we can
to help.

TOM HORSFORD'S BARN
BURNS, KIDS BRANDING"
(McCone Co. Sentinel)


The barn on the Thomas Hors-
ford place where the town of Cir
Gle formerly vas located, was COM
pletely destroyed by fire Thurs
day noon, after the two younger
children set it on fire while at
tempting to brand a calf. The two
children, aged 8 and 4, had seen
others brand calves and decided
that it would be a lot of fun. They
finally got the calf partly tied up
and then started the fire to heat
the iron. The barn soon caught
fire and the strong wind made
quick work of it. There was a
frame horse barn, a small barn
for cattle and a calf shed all con-
nected one to another. Thistle hay
had been stacked behind all the
buildings, which helped to make a
very hot fire quickly. An effort
made to save a little log shed
at the east end of the other build
iuSo, Jul tlt lldlllCO WOlO oO uOI
that the entire building had to be
torn down to save even the logs.
We believe this log shack was
one of the first buildings to be
built in the original town of Cir
Gle. At least it "a rather aged.
Everything was removed from
the barn, but the wagon and hay
was directly in the path of
the flames and was quickly des-
troyed. No insurance was carried
IN the barn.
The calf had 'gotten loose"
when we arrived at the fire.

of children's clinics. Proper diet
and a proper amount of recreation
are important. When a child ent-
ers school his habits with regard
to recreation are apt to be changed
and he nay spend less time out
doors. In some communities super
vised play after school gives the
child the necessary out of door ex-
ercise.
The health of the child should
be Of paramount interest, for up
on the condition of his health de-
ponds his ability to cope with life
and enjoy it. Prof. Vande Bogart
said that in many colleges the
rule now is to give physical train
ing not alone to those who are
athletically inclined, but also to
those who are less developed ply
sically and consequently need the
training more. He said 1--WE shall
come to regard with greater pride
then ever before the combined re-
suits of intellectual, social, and
moral developments accompanied
and helped by the building of
stronger bodies and better health
habits. We shall find our results
measured not merely in stronger
bodies, but in improved mental
health and in better intellectual
aualities, because these are so de-
finitely related to the fundamental
question Of physical development"
