"It was in 1909, the first day of
April, whenI first started for India,
on a small ship of the Cunard line
This ship took us to Gibraltar, where
we had two days to see the many
interesting sights there. The third
day we left on a larger steamer
going by way of Marseilles, France
and Port Said, on through the Suez
Canal to Alden, at the end of the
Canal, where We again changed
boats and proceeded direct to BON

April 30th, every passenger was
glad to see the shores and the city
where we were to land. A few
hours more and we were in port,
and could see our missionary
friends waiting for us on the dock.
AS soon as greetings were over
and we were through the customs,
they asked us if we would like to
go with them shopping (they had
come some 80 miles and wanted to
take advantage of the opportunity
to shop in the city, and we were
glad to go, so on we started through
the crooked streets among the ma
tive shops, with beggars, blind
lame and what not at about every
step, and coolie men and boys
following with their big flat bas
kets on their heads, begging tc
carry our purchases. One said tc
me: "Oh, let me carry your things

School Mains Made
Arizona

School mains from the east
really made a state out OF Arizona.
This is the conclusion of Fred 5.
Bennet, veteran cowman, whose
daughter, Mrs. Houston Davis, is
chairman of the historiacal COM
mittee of the Tombstone Woman's
club.
Sp eaking at the meeting devoted
to Arizona history, Mrs. Davis gave
her fathers version Of the early
settlement days.
"A long time ago when the Ari-
zona territory was sparsely settled,
it was customary to send east for
a school nam whenever a new
school was started. This worked
out very we'll, except that the school
teacher invariably was young and
good looking, and before the end
of the first year one of the eligible
bachelors in the neighborhood had
persuaded her to say yes"
Tn June there was always
wedding-and in September a new
school teacher This kept going or
for years and since all these wedd
ings naturally made more school!
necessary, the population began tt
increase very rapidly.
And thus-AriZona really owe'
its growth and good manners tt
the girls who came west to teacl
school"

The Low Down
From Hickory Grove

Mr.. Morgenthau, down in Wash.
he sent me a circular and some pic
lures, showing people with smiles
and lookin' pleased, while they are
buying his bonds-with 80 much
and so much a week. And our
Govt, it has been hoppin' on the
automobile guys, for offering easy
terms, and the shoe, it looks like
it might tit the Secy. Of the Treas
uary.
And l looked at the pictures and
everybody is getting on ocean
liners, and playin' pianos, and rest
in, etc.-and it looked great. So
I read the circular but could not
find If the bonds were o. X. with
the SEC or whoever it is that tells
other people what they can SELL
and makes them prove they are moi
horse theft.
And with the Govt. in the bono
business, and other kinds OF busi
ness, and never payin' two-bits II
taxes, I am up a stump about wht
will pay, when it runs everything
And if I could write letter ant
need no stamp, like the Treasur!
sends letters free, would ask 'em
But If l could locate crystal ball
could get the answer, reckon
and save writin'.

Everyone has a key OF living

ing should reflect the person
atty and mode Of living. It is
seldom, however, that a woman
will devote as much t. me or
thought to the perfection of her
voice as she does to choosing
dresses or costumes.
"This is unfortunate, because
no matter how beautiful a Wom-
an, if her speaking voice is un-
pleasant or harsh, the whole IL
lusion is destroyed. Women
spend hours at the beauty par
lor having their hair set, their
nails done, their faces beauti-
fled. They will endure any
amount of discomfort to lose
weight and keep their figures
youthful. AS a consequence, any
woman can be made beautiful

her mouth. A grating, unpleaS-

dropped in the other day to see
a leading beauty specialist who
makes a rule to create all her
own formulas and then turn
them over to the laboratory to
be manufactured in large
amounts.
She was surrounded by a lot
of interesting jars and bottles,
and her hands were covered with
cream. Then, while we talked,
she removed it with a tissue and
dipped an orange stick in the jar
and worked some of the cream
under the tip of her beautiful
long nails.

Nothing of the sort.
No, these boys and girls may
be Of the highest intellectual
caliber, for all we know. They
weren't striking for more play
time, or for any further liberty
for themselves.
They were striking in behalf
of Love. And a fine, disinter-
ested, generous gesture it was.
Their action does them credit.
From now on we shall know
that the hearts of American
high school students are solidly
in the right place, that they
are falr-minded and courageous.
The story is a cheering one.
They Were
In LoUe =
It seems that a romance had
developed in this school be-
tween Frank Wynn, the football
coach, and pretty Mary Grubbs,
q member of the senior class.
Both these young persons en-
joyed great popularity, and no
body dreamed of criticizing
their devoted attachment. They
were, in fact, engaged to be
married, and the ring Miss
Grubbs had lately taken to
wearing, with many smiles,
emitted the traditional sparkle.
All went well, in fact, until
the county school Superintend-
ent, Solomon Baxter, heard
what was going on and decided
that a football coach mustn't
have dates" with a high school
pupil. He maze Lne DECISION
known. Mr.. Wynn, a spirited
young man and a deeply en-
amored lover, declined to COM
ply.
"Ho! You won't?" roared Mr..
Baxter, with the voice and
manner of a very ogre. cor, so,
at least, those not in sympathy
with him tell the story) "Out
you go, then!"
Decided
To Resign
Next move: Mr.. Wynn &C
ceded to the demands for his
resignation. At this point Miss
