Actually she didn't do it for
Prince. She did it for you"

But this time 1t was different
because Bobby had learned some
thing He had learned that when
ever they-meaning his father
and Vivian-wanted to do some
thing behind his back they sent
him to Grams for few days.
Like the time that dad mar
ried Vivian. That was more than
a wear ago. Bobby had spent two
happy weeks with Gran. and then
when he returned home it was TO
find that vivian had entered ana
taken possession. She was MS
mother.
Dad had thought that it would
be such a delightful surprise Tor
him. but it wasn't. Bobby dlont
like vivian, and never would
HOW could he, when he had to
share his father with her?
OF course, he had to call her
mother to her face, but some IN
stinct rebelled against calling
her mother in his thoughts.
CHANGED HIS LIFE
The coming OF Vivian had
changed Bobby's entire caretree
existence. It had been a happy
life with Just dad and Prince and
old Mrs. Morgan, who kept house
for them.
Mrs. Morgan might be a bit
slow in her movements, and often
the place was not quite as tidy
as it could have been, but neither
Bobby nor his father seemed to
notice or to care.
Now it was different. Mrs. Nor.
gan took her orders from Vivian.
Meals were scientific and at set
hours. Bobby had &c be in on
time-or else! Toys and bike had
to be put away where they be-
longed, and shoes carefully
cleaned of mud before setting foot
on the new rugs Vivian had
bought. Face and hands had to
be washed too many times day
No, Bobby didn't like Vivian,
and he showed it when he dared.
The worst of it was that his
father seemed to enjoy the
changes she made and was appar.
emily unaware of his small sons
discomfort.
There was the question of Prince,
the police dog. Prince, when a
puppy, had been given to Bobby
by his Uncle Jim, who had big
farm and raised lots of dogs. There
was a bond of affection between
Bobby and Prince as strong as a
human love.
DOG A NUISANCE
Prince grew alarmingly. When
Vivian entered into the picture the
dog was so big that when he stood
on his hind legs his paws would
reach a mans shoulders. Vivian
took exception to the animal at
once.

Highway 81 May
Be Improved

According to rcent information,
the State Hiway department plans
to fill in the borrow pit along the
Hiway through Coolidge within a
short time. Due to the heavy traf-
fic through Coolidge on Hiway 81
local citizens have started a move
to petition the Hiway Commission
to widen the hiway through Cooli-
dge so as to have four lane street
through from the Canal on the
north to the south edge of town.
Every citizen interested should help
in every possible way to bring this
about. as it is not only an improve
ment, but a safety measure, and
if the Highway Commission is in
favor of the suggested project, the
work could be done at the same
time and bitches are filled in.

Hiway Dept Plants
Trees Along Farm

The landscape division of the
State Hiway Department has just
completed the roadside planting of
Thornber poplars on the full three
quarter mile frontage of the north
farm of r. A. Faul and Son, on the
Florence Hiway, east of the new
overpass. Frank Watson, state fore
man, was in charge Of the grading
work incidental to planting. and j..
Shepard of Florence planted the
trees.
A cooperative agreement betwe-
en- the Hiway department and the
Faul's, calls for the supply of ir-
rigating water in perpetuity by the
FauPs, who will furnish the water
from their pumping plant located at
the head of the line Of trees.
Thornber Poplar is a valuable
member of the poplar family, car
ries none of the disagreeable cot
ton that is such a nuisance in the
spring, is of long life, and carries
the foliage through the greater part
of the year. This planting should
soon show good results, and is
hoped will provide welcome shade
durin gthe warm days to come.

What Our Club
Expects of the Schools
By Mrs. MATT N. DODGE
Club Member

On First Sending a Little Boy
to School by Mary Dixon Thayer.
(Now gently close the gates of
babyhood)
Put on your rubbers, darling, and
your coat,
And don't forget, mind teacher,
and be good"
(Oh, years too swiftly "and cover
up your throat"
farewell, farewell to baby things;
away
With smudgy doll, and rattle, and
the toys
Once loved with tears; it is the
time to play
With other things once meant for
bigger boys.)
Here is your lunch-box, darling
and a kiss.
It's time to CO." (Time, time, at
last, to go.)
Goodbye, my little man, good
bye. (Ah this
Is much longer journey than you
know
And yet perhaps you, too, have
understood?
Now-gently close the gates of
baby-hood.)
The first grade teacher in any
school is the person who seems
to wipe the baby faces right off
these children that we send to
school to her in September. Be
fore that first day of school, they
are mere babies, yet somewhere
during that first year, they seem
to- grow up, and they are babies no
more. We parents are very
| trustful lot, for we send our chill
dren off with utmost confidence
that somehow during the twelve
years they are in our public schools,
they will get an education.
A child's educational life is hem
med in by an equilateral triangle,
the sides of which are the home,
the church and the school. We
have no right to criticize the
school if a certain educational fea-
ture isn't attained, because we
must blame the home and the
church too in equal proportion. Our
modern school is a modern know
ledge factory, and the product it
puts out should be our future citi-
zens. The chief function of the
school is to turn the raw material
! into wholesome American citizens,
good product which can with
stand the yiscissitudes of this life
stanchly. Our generation will some
day pass on. Who can take our
places? We want our possessions
safe. We want the future hands to
cherish the things that we cherish.
So we claim that the chief function
of our schools is circumscribed.
One rather vague quality, but a
quality which is important in this
day and age, is tolerance, toler-
ance toward our fellow men. We
