Call at our office or phon The teacher and the Parent. By A. M. GARNER Professor of the Rentie school The parents' intetest in the School is often assumed, not always manifest. Very few parents take interest in the education of their children, judging from the time they spend in visiting the school and seeking information from the teacher of the child's successes or failures in his work. Many parents do not even ask the child for his report card which they should always ask for it to see what he or she is doing in school. Many parents send their children to school without books or any other school material to work with. This makes the teacher's task that much harder, for children sitting in school all day long without books are a source of trouble and annoyance. The paaents' interest in scool is often aronsed by the pupil, that is, through the heart of the pupil to the heart of the parent, interest in the child's education is often created. School life is a part of real life and must be related intimately to the real life of the community. It is not a thing to be considered independent of home and society. School should fitly prepare for the life the individual is to lead, in shaping the best ideals of spiritual, sociol and inteleetual life of a people. How necessary it is that there be the closest and most intimate relation between teacher and parent in order that these lofty ideals may be reached. Frankness and good-will between parent and child are neccess-ry for the healthy, moral and intellectual growth of a child. Each parent should make it a rule to visit the school at least once a year and talk with the The Leading Race Paper in The State of Oklahoma SUCCESSOR TO THE MUSKOGEE STAR TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1914.

Each parent should ask his child the following questions often during the school year: What is your teacher's name? What grade are you in? What books and other school material do you need? Do you obey your teacher? Is the teacher kind to you and does she seem to be interested in your advancement? If the child gives a negative answer to this last question, it is time for the parent to visit the school and find out from the teacher the trouble. In nearly every case where a negative answer is given, the parent will find, after talking with the teacher, that the child is one who wants to have his own way and disregards the laws of the school. Parents should never take sides with the child against the teacher, until the teacher's side has been heard, then parent and teacher should discuss the matter privately, the child not being present.

Whitaker In A Tornado A heavy storm struck the Mt. Zions parsonage last Tuesday night blowing with a terrific force in song and shouting. This storm seem to have gathered some where in the eastern part of the city. It gathered slowly and moved swiftly It was seen by an eye witness when it struck Elgin. It hovered over one corner while the witness watched from an other corner. No one spoke a word. Further up the street a shrill whistle was heard and this cloak of humanity burst forth into song lead by brother J. B. Beason. The chorus joined in "I Am Near My Home" The witness soon observed that it was a shower of good things to eat so he rushed to see the sights. And my! What they did bring. All kinds of eatables and valuable articles, and even money. It has been long time since I saw so many good things come from such a storm. These people know how to present nice things to their pastor who has toiled so hard and almost lost for the want of one word of cheer. We take this method of thanking them, opening our doors to such a host and asking them to return again. May God bless those children of his R. A. WHITAKER and family. BROWN CHAPEL PROGRAM.

We hope our friends very expensive proposition to operate our desire to pleas them in every much money to do so. For this reason SOME OF OUR FRIENDS and apparently well wishers seem to think that we are running a newspaper merely for their accommodation. Of course, they are mistaken. While we do a great deal of gratis work to accommodate the general public, yet we are compelled for financial reasons to stay within a certain limit. We hope our friends will bear in mind the fact that it is a very expensive proposition to operate a newspaper, and that, although it is our desire to please them in every way possible, we are not able to spend much money to do so. For this reason our friends should not feel peeved when they look over the paper and fail to find a column or so of "news matter" they left in the office or mailed to us unaccompanied by any cash to help carry the load. All editors reserve the right to "blue pencil" to "boil down" to "cut and cull" everything that goes into his paper except "paid matter" which always goes to the compositor just as it comes into the office.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.—The last word on existing legislation as to "grandfather clause" provision and other methods of depriving Negroes of the ballot is to be handed down during the present session of the United States Supreme Court. The decisions will be fraught with more importance to the Negro than any in a quarter of a century, it is declared, since the country will know of the success or failure of various ingenious means that are alleged to have been adopted both in the North and South to take from the Negro a position of equality with the white man. apparently well wishers seem to think eely for their accomodation. Of course, reat deal of gratis work to accomodate led for financial reasons to stay within will bear in mind the fact that it is a a newspaper, and that, although it is may possible, we are not able to spend our friends should not feel peeved when ASK LEADERS TO DEPART GENERALS REQUEST CARRANZA AND VILLA TO LEAVE IN INTERESTS OF PEACE. MORE FIGHTING NEAR CAPITAL Attack Reported Checked; Gonzales Breaks With Convention United States Troops El Paso, Tex.—Official reports from Mexico City said several chiefs, headed by General Pablo Gonzales, Carranza's principal leader, have sent messages to the first chief and Provisional President Gutierrez, asking a second time that both Carranza and Villa resign their positions. The signers of the two telegrams included Gonzales, General Blanco and General Antonio Villareal, who had acted as president of the convention before the election of Gutierrez. They asked Carranza to resign "in order to prevent circumstances growing graver". They advised the first chief that they also had sought the elimination of Villa. From Gutierrez they requested that he order Villa to leave the country. They promised that they also would arrange for Carranza to leave Mexico. Rafael Muzquiz, Carranza consul chief, stated that he had official advices from Mexico City that a total of 108,000 troops had remained loyal to the first chief. Villa agents never have claimed more than one-half that number in the regular division commanded by the northern chieftain. Fighting Continues. Mexico City.—A general order issued Thursday by the military commandant in the capital informed all officers to be ready from Thursday on to call their men to quarters and to hold them in readiness for any emergency. Fighting in the outskirts of this city continues. The constitutionalists are holding the attackers in check everywhere along the line. It is reported here that General Gutierrez has solicited a personal interview with Carranza. From Puebla comes the report that 25,000 followers of Emiliano Zapata are still threatening the city. No Early Evacuation. Washington.—President Wilson and Secretary Bryan have decided not to fix a date for the evacuation of Vera Cruz by the American troops until it is determined which faction can dominate that section of Mexico sufficiently to carry out the guarantees asked by the United States as a prerequisite to the withdrawal. General Candido Aguilar is in command of most of the troops in the immediate vicinity of Vera Cruz and is believed to be loyal to General Carranza, who is in open conflict with the national conventin which declared General Eulalio Gutierrez provisional president of Mexico. The president is unwilling to withdraw the troops until the various guarantees asked for can be enforced and there is no danger that some other faction, on becoming dominant, will disclaim responsibility for negotiations hitherto conducted with General Carranza. The Washington government does not desire to interfere in any way in the tangled controversy which has arisen between the various military chieftains, but administration officials showed plainly their chagrin at the fact that several generals who wrote their names on the Mexican flag recently, kissing it as a pledge that they would abide by the acts of the convention at Aguas Callientes, have now repudiated their oaths, refusing to support General Eulalio Gutierrez, selected as provisional president. The United States will continue its custom of dealing with each element that is in de facto control of a certain territory. Special agents are accompanying General Gutierrez, General Villa and General Carranza. From all these representatives came advices reflecting the uncertainty which enveloped the general situation. On the alignment of the various chieftains depends whether civil war will result in earnest. Should a majority of the more powerful leaders side with the convention, Carranza, of course, will be compelled by force of arms to relinquish power. It will take several days for the situation to shape itself definitely, however, and Mexico, according to official reports is wrapped in a tangle of plots and counter plots between the two elements in their contest to win TAPS COMES TO LORD ROBERTS GREATEST SOLDIER OF THE EMPIRE PNEUMONIA CLAIMS FAMOUS BRITISH FIELD MARSAHL WHILE VISITING TROOPS AT THE FRONT. FOUGHT FOR THE BRITISH ARMS FOR MORE THAN FIFTY YEARS Born In An Indian Military Camp, His Career Embraced Long Series of Victories, Culminating In Surrender of the Boer General Piet Cronje. London.—Field Marshal Earl Roberts died last Saturday night in France from pneumonia. Field Marshal Roberts, who was colonel in chief of the Indian troops, had gone to France to give them his greeting. Soon after his arrival he became seriously ill. He suffered from a severe chill and pneumonia rapidly developed. His great age, 82 years, militated against his recovery. Lord Roberts was the most popular military figure in Great Britain and a national here without rival. Despite his years, he has never ceased hard work since his nominal retirement and as he had often remarked, he lived a rigid abstemious life that he might preserve his strength for the service of his country. During the past five or six years, when the German war cloud had been growing he prosecuted an active campaign to persuade the nation to adopt compulsory military service. His better was that Great Britain required the training of the whole male population in arms, rather on the plan of Switzerland than the longer terms of conscription enforced in the case of continental military nations. Lord Roberts was born in 1832 in cawnpore, India, where his father General Hirabram Roberts was serv- [Picture of a man with a white mustache and a dark suit with a high collar. The man's face is clearly visible, and he appears to be middle-aged. The background is plain white.]] Lord Roberts. ing. It was in the Indian service that the gallant and efficient Irish soldier achieved his first and lasting fame. It was in South Africa, in his later years, that this was supplemented and magnified by his achievements in the victorious campaign against the Boers. Lord Roberts' military education began early in life. While an infant in arms he was taken to England to receive an education in the warlike art. The age of 19 saw him back in India serving under his father, a distinguished general of the Victorian period. For more than forty years he served in that oriental empire. When the Afghan war, in which Lord Roberts was to win lasting fame, broke out, he had risen to the rank of major general. As a major in the Afghanistan campaign against the tribesmen the brilliance of the British general's strategy commanded the attention of the world's great soldiers. The two years' war came to a culmination with "Bob's" famous march through a tangled wilderness and his dashing assault of Kandabar, resulting in the dispersal of the Ameer's army. Victory In South Africa. Lord Roberts reached the age of 68 years when the second great episode in his career began. Called to sustain the waning British sovereignty in South Africa, Lord Roberts sailed for the scene of war with a sad heart, for his only son had fallen at the Tugela. But the veteran of India plunged with his old determination into the fray on South African soil, and in a wristwind campaign brought the Boer war to an end, victorious to British arms. Inspired by his personality, the British relief armies pressed back the Boer lines and relieved the garrisons of Kimberly and Ladysmith. Not long afterward Lord Roberts fought his way into Pretoria and there received the surrender of General Cronje. TULSA. OKLA. STAR AUDACIOUS GOES TO THE BOTTOM SUNK OFF COAST OF IRELAND OCTOBER 27. Entire Crew Saved by Steamer Olympic Which Goes to Rescue; Disaster Kept Secret. New York.—Rumors of disaster to the British superdreadnaught Audacious, which have persisted ever since the White Star liner Olympic diverted from her course, arrived at Lough Swilly, on October 29, are confirmed in mail advices received by the Associated Press from a point in Ireland. After a career of less than two years, the Audacious of the King George V class—third in tonnage and armament of his majesty's warships—lies at the bottom of the ocean off the north coast of Ireland. She was hit by a torpedo or disabled by a mine just before 9 o'clock on the morning of October 27. With the possible exception of one or two men, the whole crew of 800 officers and men was rescued by small boats from the Olympic. The battleship's cry for assistance was caught by the wireless operator of the Olympic, which was only about ten miles distant. The steamer rushed forward at full speed, while her crew made ready for their work. Volunteers were called for and double the number necessary to man the lifeboats responded. The crippled battleship was reached a few minutes after 9 o'clock and before noon all but 100 of her men had been taken off. By that time the battleship had a decided list at the stern, where just below the water line, she had received her wound. A cable was given her, but it snapped as it tightened. Meantime, the bulkheads began to give way. The cruiser Liverpool and several other warships which had come up, stood by. Late in the day it was decided to abandon the Audacious and the officers and men who had remained aboard reluctantly left her. The flotilla of rescue snips continued to stand by, however, until 9 o'clock that evening, when a terrific explosion occurred, the Audacious plunged stern first and disappeared. The explosion is supposed to have been caused by shells set loose by the listing of the battleship. A bit of armorplate killed a gunner on the Liverpool. The Audacious met her fate twenty-fire miles off the Irish coast, which the Olympic was skirting. The liner sailed from New York for Glasgow on October 21. She had been warned that there were German mines off Tory island and fear of these mines was the official explanation when she put into Lough Swilly. From October 27 to November 2 the Olympic lay at Lough Swilly, during which time no one but naval officers were allowed to board her. An immediate investigation of the loss of the battleship was begun. Charles M. Schwab was the only passenger who left the Olympic before it docked at Belfast on November 2. Secrecy regarding the loss of the Audacious was enjoined upon the crew and passengers of the Olympic, pending a complete investigation. The crew of the Audacious was removed from the liner as soon as warships for the purpose were available. The destruction of the Audacious is the most serious single loss suffered by the British navy since the opening of histilities. Only a few, British warships outranked her in size and fighting equipment. The Audacious had a displacement of 24,000 tons and was 596 feet in length. Her armament consisted of ten 13.5-inch guns, sixteen 4-inch guns, four three-pounders, with three 21-inch torpedo tubes. In her trials she developed a speed of 22.4. knots an hour being slightly faster under trial than the other vessels of her class. FLANDERS BATTLE STILL DRAGS More and More Dead Only Result of Four Weeks' Fight. London.—The battle of Flanders which was brought about by the German attempt to advance to Dunkirk and Calais, on the northern coast of France, commenced just four weeks ago Saturday and despite the sacrifice of thousands of lives, the two armies still hold virtually the same positions as when the first shot was fired. After taking Antwerp and Ostend the German forces proceeded with little or no opposition as far as Nieuport on the Yser canal. HOME UNDERTAKING CO.

Much has been said pro and con on the White House incident last week wherein Wm. Monroe Trotter of Boston played such a prominent part. We find on looking over the exchanges coming into our office that the sentiment among the race editors concerning the affair is about evenly divided, one side thinking the race was damaged by Trotters actions, the other side thinking the race was benefited. From our observation it seems that both president Wilson and Monroe Trotter learned a few things about each other that they didn't know before.

We are opposed to the plan because we believe the tax payers of this state are already burdened too much and to further burden them with all the expenses necessary to establish a new state government would work too great a hardship on the majority of the tax payers. Any way we take this plan it means virtually two governors, where we now have one, two State Capitols, where we now have one, two legislatures, where we now have one, two Supreme Courts, where we now have one—in fact just a double dose of all we now have, which of course means double the amount of taxes we are now paying. Now if the fathers of this new proposition can show how the tax payers will be benefited by dividing Oklahoma into two states, let them do so.

Western Canada occupies a stronger position today than it ever has occupied. Taking one year with another, the efficiency of its lands to produce has been well proved. It has not been said of it that year in and year out there were bumper and bounteous crops. If such a condition existed it would be phenomenal in the history of any country. With an extensive territory producing grain, hogs, cattle and sheep, of some 800 miles wide and 1,000 miles long, it is easy to conceive of a wide variation in temperature and climate; there is variation in rainfall and snowfall; every section is not the best in the district—some are better than others and some worse, but as a general thing, the great percentage is "better." This past year has shown that some portions are not altogether immune from periods of drought. The same may be said of adjoining states to the south. But this year has also shown that in the greater portion of Western Canada drought does not appear, but even in the drought-stricken area of this year, past years have shown that the soil produces wonderfully well and even this year, with modern methods, known as "dry-farming," good crops were harvested. The large number of Americans who during the past sixteen years have been attracted to Canada have not gone simply because of the advertising of that country, but because their friends and their old time neighbors have done well there, and with careful and judicious farming almost everyone has done well. As a result of the great influx of immigration the open or prairie homesteading area is being rapidly taken up. The fact that this is so is evidence that Western Canada lands are productive, and on these open plains today are to be seen the homes of successful farmers from almost every state in the Union. They have earned their patents and now own outright their 160 acres of land, together probably with an adjoining 160 acres, which they have purchased or preempted, all of which is worth from $25 to $30 per acre. They originally started by growing grains altogether, but they found that they could secure a better price for much of their grain by feeding it to hogs and cattle, and the most successful ones are those who have followed this course. But to meet the wants of the newcomer a new homestead area has been opened up, known as the "park country." In this park country are to be found beautiful groves of poplar and willow, small lakes and streams, with sufficient open area to enable one to go into immediate cultivation of crop, and in due time when they wish more land to be put under cultivation, they may at small cost cut down some of the groves, which in the meantime have been valuable in providing fuel and in giving shelter to cattle. Notwithstanding the high character of the open prairie lands and the fact that farmers there have realized in a unplendid way, there is the opinion backed up by a lot of experience that this parklike country contains soil even better than that of the open area referred to. The opportunities, therefore, for money making are as great today as they ever were. The opportunities for carrying on farming successfully are fully as great as they ever were. Of this park area we have an immense quantity of land yet to be settled. It is true that the railroads have not yet penetrated these districts to the extent that they have the open area, but this will come and as settlements advance, so will railroads build. For the present there is a temporary lull in railroad building, but it is always the case that where there is a demand there will come a supply, and it will not be long before the park country will be penetrated by railroads that will give sufficient accommodation for all needs, but to those who prefer it there are lots of opportunities for purchasing land nearer towns and villages and at low prices and on easy terms. Whether one cares to purchase or homestead it can better be done by paying a visit to the country and it will repay you to spend some little time visiting the different districts. Advertisement.

BALE CLUB OF OKLA- HOMA CITY. PROSPECTS OF RELIEF SCON Establishment of Federal Reserve Banks and Re-opening of the Cotton Exchanges Promises Speedy Relief. To the Farmers of Oklahoma: The BUY-A-BALE CLUB is composed of a Committee appointed by a mass meeting of merchants and bankers of Oklahoma City, and the farmers of this community. This Club takes upon itself the responsibility of advising the farmers of this state to hold the unsold part of their cotton crop for EIGHT CENTS PER POUND There are two or three reasons why we give this advice: First:—The Regional Banks have begun operation. After the opening of these banks money will be available for making loans. Second:—The Syndicate being formed by St. Louis banks creating a fund of $135,000,000, will be ready for operation within ten days, so it is thought. This syndicate will be prepared to loan money to farmers on their cotton at 6 cents per pound for the rate of six per cent interest. These two institutions, the Regional Banks and the Cotton Syndicate, will be able to withdraw from the market three or four million bales of cotton, thereby reducing the amount that will be offered for sale just that much. Third:—The Cotton Exchanges of New York City and New Orleans are expected to open for business next week; as soon as these exchanges are opened, the spinners will be able to hedge their purchases, thereby insuring themselves against loss in case of a decline in the market. When these three things occur, it is the opinion of all men who have given the subject serious thought, that cotton will advance immediately, and it is expected that by the first of December ElGHT the crop. In giving this advice, we would also impress upon the farmers the importance of selling their cotton very slowly after it reaches 8 cents or above, dolling it out one or more bales at a time to prevent too much being thrown on the market at once, thereby flooding it, and forcing it down again. Another thing we want to urgently advise our farmer friends, is to reduce the acreage of cotton next spring from 50 to 60 per cent, and to put the amount of land above that into CENTS or more can be realized upon feed crops. Unless the acreage is reduced next year, the unsold cotton withdrawn from the market will sell for so little that it will occasion a heavy loss to those who have withdrawn this cotton from the market—so we cannot too urgently impress upon the farmers the importance of reducing the acreage. In Texas, the bankers of Dallas and other cities have organized, in connection with the Southern Cotton Association (farmers) to send lecturers through the State of Texas, to advise the farmers to hold their cotton for eight cents or more, and to reduce the cotton acreage. The bankers of Dallas have raised a fund of $4,000 to pay these lecturers to make a thorough canvas of the state, so as to bring to the attention of every farmer the importance of holding his cotton, and also of reducing his acreage. One more thing we would like to say to our farmer friends, and that is this: When holding your cotton at home, be sure and try to protect it from the weather and the damp ground. Do not leave it lying on the ground, but put skids of some kind under it; also, do not stand it on end, but leave it on edge, and if possible throw covering of some kind over it that will shed water. Very respectfully. BUY-A-BALE COTTON CLUB. A. M. DeBolt, Chairman. G. F. Lindsay, Secretary. GUSHER IS STRUCK AT PRAGUE Wildcatters Open Up New Field in Lincoln County.

STAR ROOSTING HIGH FRANKS FOUR GREATEST HOLIDAY IS OF THE HOME Especially Does the Day Upon Which the Nation Gives Thanks for the Many Mercies Extended Stand as a Revelation of Domestic Happiness. THERE is ample cause for the spirit of Thanksgiving day in the place which the home holds in American life. It is enough to make any people grateful to be able to depend upon such domestic health, peace and happiness as prevail in the United States. Thanksgiving day brings uncounted family reunions. It means the return to old homes of those who have gone far away. It reunites circles long broken. It exalts the family idea, the foundation on which human society rests. And every year the holiday of the hearth, the day dedicated, informally but not the less certainly, to the home principle, finds the number of happy households in America larger than ever before. Every November the picture of home gatherings, in gratitude and peace, is painted on a scale more vast and impressive. The most extreme pessimist knows in his heart that this is true. It is impossible to reflect upon the progress of the country and the gains made by the people of the United States, despite all drawbacks and mishaps, without realizing that in the broadest sense the life of the nation is healthier, sounder, safer and happier than ever. And the old-fashioned cornerstone on which this national health and sanity of mind and spirit rests is the family. It takes Thanksgiving to bring into due prominence the enduring foundation of the wonderfully complex and elaborate structure of American life. When the millions of widened family circles are formed today, around well-laden tables, the position of the American life is patent to every thoughtful citizen of this republic. It is always clear enough to keen-eyed strangers visiting the foremost country of the New World. While the great holiday of the home stands where it has always stood, where it stands today, as a revelation of domestic happiness and family loyalty, there will be nothing vitally amiss with the American nation. The spirit of Thanksgiving day is a moral tonic and a guarantee of civic health. Ease of mind is incomparably the most valuable of all possessions.—The Original. LET US ALL GIVE THANKS Season Is a Time to Be Glad, and to Make Others Around Us Partake of Our Joy. Let us make this the best Thanksgiving of our lives. Remember our gratitude is not measured by the size of the family larder. Abundance tends to contentment, but many a man in limited circumstances is happier than others of larger means. Real wealth and worth lies not in the abundance a man hath, but in contentment's gold. When the heart is full the whole world is richer. Your smile will go a long way toward making someone else happy. A cheerful life opens avenues to future achievement hidden to him who sees no good around him. The past is a matter of record, the present is near and real, the future is limited only by yourself. Make it all it can be, and history will add a new chapter, and you will be the hero. Let us give thanks. The nation needs the inspiration of your song. THANKSGIVING ODE OF THE OLDEN TIME THANKSGIVING ODE OF THE OLDEN TIME Poet In the Qualint Phraseology of Centurles Ago Expressed Gratitude for the Kindness of the Creator, From a "Thankful Heart." LORD, Thou hast given me a cell, Wherein to dwell; A little house, whose humble roof Is weather proof; Under the sparres of which I lie Both soft and drie; Where Thou, my chamber for to ward Hast set a guard Of harmless thoughts, to watch and keep Me, while I sleep. Low is my porch, as is my fate, Both void of state; And yet the threshold of my doore Is worne by th' poore, Who thither come, and freely get Good words or meat. Like as my parlour, so my hall And kitchin's small; A little butterie, and therein A little byn. Which keeps my little loafe of bread Unchipt, unlead; Some brittle sticks of thorne or briar Make me a fire. Close by whose living coale I sit, And glow like it. Lord, I confesse, too, when I dine, The pulse is Thine, And all those other bits that bee There placed by Thee; The worts, the purslain, and the messe Of water cresse Which of Thy kindnesse Thou has sent; And my content Makes those, and my beloved best To be more sweet, Tis Thou that crownest my glittering hearth With guiltlessse mirthe, And gives me wassaille bowls to drink, Sple'd to the brink. Lord, 'tis Thy plenty-dropping hand That solies my land, And giv'st me, for my bushell sowne, Twice ten for one; Thou mak'st my teeming hen to lay Her egg each day; Besides my healthful ewes to bear Me twins each yeare; The while the conduits of my kine Run creame for wine; All these, and better Thou dost send Me, to this end, That I should render, for my part, A t...nkfulle heart; Whilen, fl. d with incense, I resigne As wholly Thine; But the acceptance, that must be, O Lord, by Thee. ```markdown ``` Universal Day of Thanks. About the institution of Thanksgiving as it exists today there is nothing sectarian or sectional, but over the entire Union the day is observed by all Americans alike as the time for family reunion, good cheer and general rejoicing and gratitude. Spoiled It for Him. Rev. Mr. Goodman—Well, Willie, did you enjoy your Thanksgiving dinner? Willie—No. We had company and I had to eat with my fork. There are plenty of groans and grunts and growls. We need more song. It hain't no use to grumble and complain; It's just as cheap and easy to rejoice. You will feel more manly by being glad. It adds to your self-respect and makes you feel that you have a place in the world. Inspire your age with a new type of chivalry. Meet drones and kickers with a smile and you will do much to bring in the good time that is to be. Wherever you are let this be a real period of thanksgiving. Let is see if we cannot add to the world's joy by the spirit of our own living. Unfortunate In Their Nature. There will be some who will not give thanks of any sort on Thanksgiving day. With them the world is all wrong. Justice has fled from the earth, and all other men are untrustworthy. Some will wail that they were born under an unlucky star and look on the dark side of every blessing. Their very presence casts a gloom on everything. It is against their natures to grant a thankful word. Better PIE Crust Baked With NOT MADE BY THE TRUST CALUMET BAKING POWDER CALUMET BAKING POWDER CO. CHICAGO Better cookies, cake and biscuits, too.

ZONA COMPANY, WICHITA, KANSAS ETN Rg enw Mt) J PCOS RAISE SQUABS FOR MARKET First essential te to Have Suitable House and Yard to Confine Birds —Enforce Cleanliness. The keeping of pigeons has become regular business in some sections, compared with ten years ago, and a great deal of inierest is now being taken tn the pigeon as a source of profit. The first essential is to have a g00d house and yard, and to have the yard wired, in order to confine the birds. The house should be arranged to permit of abundant floor room, the nests to be along the sides. The homer pigeon is largely used, an ex: cellent mating being the dragoon and homer. Be sure that the sexes are equal, as pigeons pair and keep the same nests. Mice in the nests must be guarded against, and lice will de- stroy all profit. Give nesting ma- terlals for the birds, and include to- bacco leaves, which will assist in keeping lice away. Fresh insect pow: der should be freely used in the hests on the first indication of lice, and cleanliness must be enforced The yard should be at least ten feet high, of any size preferred, and should have roosting poles at differ ent heights, on which the birds may alight. Keep a salt codfish hung where the birds can have access to it, supply gravel, coarsely ground oyster shells, ground bone, wheat, cracked corn, sorghum seed, millet seed and a green food of some Po a NS i} SS = es — y ae .

The rapidity of growth depends upon the food and care, About eight pair of equabs a year may be expected, de- pending on mode of management. OVERFED AND UNDERFED HEN Best Plan for Feeding Is to Watch the Flock Carefully.and See That All Are Satisfied. It 1s not possible to lay down hard ‘and fast rules for feeding, because of the fact that different hens require different quantities’ The best plan is to watch the flock carefully when feed- ing to see that every hen gets her share, The man who Taises the feed for his fowls is the one who is likely to overfeed them, while the one who buys his feed is likely to err in the opposite direction. The only way one can manage with any degree of cer. tainty is to try different quantities of food on the flock for a period long enough to note results, It will pay to weigh the hens in order to get ac- curate results, When the proper ‘al- lowance seems to have been reached, feed accordingly and do not change unless necessary, SHIPPING EGGS IN WINTER Careful Packing Is Required to Avoid Freezing During Intense Cold— Objection to Wading. Shipping eggs in winter require careful packing. Eggs are liable to become frozen in the crates when the cold is Intense, although the crates may be made tight and the eggs In- closed in paper partitions. There is no remedy for the drawback, and the only safe plan 1s to keep the eggs un- til the weather moderates. Sawdust ts sometimes used in the crates to fill up the spaces and prevent the ingress of cool air, but it only adds to the weight. If one has the time to bestow, the eggs may be wrapped in wadding, and placed in the paper partitions; but the merchants who receive them may object to the extra labor imposed upon them of removing the covering from the eges after arrival.

DEFIANCE STARCH CO., Omaha, Nebraska NOT LOOKING FOR ANY MORE Youngster'’s Supply of Oysters on Hand More Than Sufficient to Meet the Demand. A youngster whose parents had taken him for the first time from his inland home to the seashore became interested in oysters. One day they were served at table, on the half-shell, and he asked: “Mother, what are those?” “Oysters, dear. Raw oysters.” “Can you eat them—like that?” “Oh, yes.” “Can I have one?” “Why, yes, if you want it.” He put the slippery thing into his mouth, but retained it there for ex- perimentation, ‘The attention of the company meanwhile was attracted elsewhere, and when finally the mother turned again to her son his face had undergone a change. “Would you like another oyster, dear?” she asked him, For several seconds there was no reply. There seemed some difficulty of speech, and only after a struggle was he able to gurgle: “I don't (glub) want this one."—Everybody'’s Maga- zine. SUFFERED FOR FOUR YEARS. Mr. J. M.

The terms were arranged. “How long do you think it will take?" asked the model “Perhaps fifteen days,” was the re- ply. Sittings began, and the artist en- tered so heartily into his work that in 11 days the portrait was done. “Why,” asked the Croesus of Cotton: opolis, when the fact was announced to him, “do you intend suppressing four days’ work?” “It does not matter at all; the por trait is finished,” answered the ‘painter. “Well, sir, this is not business; we said 100 guineas and 15 days’ work. | am quite ready to stand the price, but you ought not to spend an hour less upon the work than we agree for.” There was no use arguing with such a man. The painter took his brush again and spent four sittings more in lengthening, little by lttle, in the por trait, the ears of his patron. Mina’e Qneech Criticized, Perhaps the most candid criticism of a “king's speech” was one uttered by a king himself. ‘There ts that story of George Ill, who, leaving the lords after opening parliament, turned to his lord chancellor with the remark: “Lord chancellor, did 1 deliver the speech well?” “Very well indeed, sir,” was the re- ply. “I am glad of that,” said the king, “for ther) was nothing in It” George Il, too, did not always feel himself bound to praise his ministers’ efforts. In 1756, for instance, when a spurious speech was circulated, he pleaded for mercy for the printers of it, because, he sald. he had compared the spurious with the real, and, so far as he could understand either, he “in finitely preferred the former to his own.” Relationship. ‘Two women, who had not seen each other for some time, met one day re- cently. They conversed on various subjects of fterest and finally Mrs, Hillman asked: “Do you remember Emily Joyce’ She was an orphan, you know.” “Why, yes, ’ remember her,” replied Mrs. Knowlton, “out she wasn't an orphan.” “Oh, yes, she was,” insisted the oth: er, “what makes you think she wasn't?” “Why,” said Mrs. Knowlton, with as: surance, “she had a sister, Ida, that | knew well.” “Did she?” queried Mrs. Hillman, fn ‘surprise; “well, maybe she wasn't ] then.” | Marching Orders, An old Irishman, long desirous of official dignity, was finally appointed marsbal in a parade on Memorial day. Veterans, bandmen and school chil- dren were lined along) the streets of the town patiently waiting the signal to start. Suddenly Mike, on a prancing charg- er, dashed up the stfeet. After in- specting the dignified procession he gave his horse a quick clip. Then, standing up in his saddle, he yelled with a voice filled with pride and au- thority: “Ready, now! Every one of yez, kape shtep with the horse!"—Every- body's Magazine. Takes Precautions, ‘Three-year-old Dick was sent to the store across the street with a note and the money to buy a sack of salt. Instead of giving the note he put it in ‘his pocket and bought five cents’ worth of suckers. Wondering where he was ‘so long his mother went to look for him. She found him back of the house with the ex-dy. He had taken a bite out of every sucker, knowing that if he didn’t he would have to take them back and get the salt as his mother had told him to. Unpleasant Neighbors. “How do you like your new home?” a friend asked a man who had recently moved into the village, “Pretty well.” “Have you called on your neighbors yet?” “No,” the newcomer admitted, “I haven't.

People have a thousand and one ways of amusing themselves in the summer time, but as winter approaches, with its long evenings, everybody reads more or less. You do a little visiting, but most of your evenings are spent at home, and it is a wise thing to provide your family with a sufficient amount of reading matter, so that every member of the family may have something useful and interesting to read. Look over our list of magazine clubs, as advertised on page 5 in this paper, you are sure to find just what you want. You can get a good farm paper if you need it, a good poultry paper, one devoted to fruit culture, or dairy farming. You will also find in the different clubs many of the best short story papers published, and others devoted to literature, fashions and household subjects. Probably your own favorite journal is listed in this collection of the best and most popular magazines published, at any rate, you will not make a mistake in taking advantage of these bargain offers. You can get three fine high class magazines in connection with a year's subscription to our paper for practically nothing. Let all the family help make up the list. Mother can have her paper, father can have his, and there will still be one left for the young folks. Send us in your order today. Do it before you forget about it. The extra cost is so little that it is hardly worth considering, and besides you will be made glad for a whole year by the monthly visits of three high class publications. "Do it now." G. M.
