A Daily Once Over
Wlien Parent* Work With Tenchcr*.
Your children have resumed their
school duties and you are beginning
to hear the same old tales of favoritism
iuid Injustice practised by the kiddies'
teachers.
Don't be foolish enough to believe'
l)iis nonsense.
Don't blame "teacher" because the
boy or the -jr has to stay after school
Any child will put up a defense,
and any child?Just as with many
vidults?is slow to see its own faults.
In the reports which come to wu
each month you have a pretty fair
average of your child's ability as stfown
to the teacher. If you want the marks
higher you must help the- tcaehei to
interest the child enough to g. t results
If your y'Mjngste.r is one tiling at
home an,i anoih.er "In the school, in
vestigate. Have a friendly talk with
those who nrp trying to point t>e way
to knowledge and rind out how you
and "teacher" can work together for
the good of the child.
If your child is wasting time in
school, find out and put a stop to it
Don't complain of favoritism or in

Mrs. Kfnj-on Itreakn the Kale*.
Mrs. William S. Kenyon, wife of
Senator Kenyon, of Iowa, is an en
thusiastic opponent of the league of
nations, despite the fact that she
1 conies of a strong- Democratic fam-ly
in Ohio. While the debate on the
peace treaty was going on in the Sen
ate the other day. Mrs. Kenyon al
lowed her ze%l to break into applause
and thereby transgressed the sacred
Senate rule against demonstrations of
approval or disapproval in the gal
leries.
When Mrs. Kenyon visited the gal
lery a few days later she found a gal
lery guard who weighs in the neigh
borhood of 350 pounds, troy, hover
ing over her. Mrs. Kenyon had oc
casion once or twice to laugh audibly,
wh'eh is also against the rules. The
guard was between the devil and the
deep sea. He knew he would lose his
job if he did not preserve order and
| he did not wish to- evict the wife of
a Senator.
Fortunately, perhaps for him, na
ture solved his d ifTicultlen. He had
caught a bad cold and was suddenly
taken with a violent At of deep, bass
voiced coughing and another attendant
came In and sent him away.

I What a wunderful song cud he wrot?*.
sed Pa. with the Titel of it The Dry
July (ioVs By.
1 do not know anybody wich cud
write it better than yure nobel self,
sed Ma.
I ha\e already gave it sum thot. sed
Pa. & 1 have one of the verses done.
It goes like this, sed Pa:
The dry July goes by, luv.
The dry July goes by.
You wonder w.iy I sigh, luv,
You wonder why I sigh.
No moar we'll see the rye, deer,
Thare'll be no burbon nigh.
The dry July goes by, deer.
The dry July goes by.
That Is vary soulful, sed Ma. It
sounds kind ot like ?. Dament or a
Serge, sed Ma.
You meen a Derge, sed Pa.
1 guess so, sed Ma, I mean the saddest |
l<ind of musick. But'you may be sure, i
sed Ma toj'a. that thare will be many
happy harts in this grate nashun now.
Not a Dout of it, sed Pa. It is a
grate benefit to tie human race. 1 1
am sure that five yeers from now thare I
will be moar weltn and happiness in i
this country than ewer beefoar. &
thare wont be so many male quartets
singing I Found a Horseshoe, Pa sed.
T'nay will all be singing this new song
of mine, sed Pa.
I lioap so, sed Ma. I am so glad Bob
bie is growing up in a land tree from
the curse of Hard Drink. It will inaik
all the differns in the wurld to a lot
of mothers, sed Ma, not to menshun a
lot of wifes. T.iay will look on payday
with moar Joy now, sed Ma.
They always did, sed Pa, I newer
saw you weep on the morning of pay
day, sed Pa. But you haven't sed much
about my song. So you really think
it will be a grate success.
I didn't say. sed Ma, but the song
ir. vary timely. The only trubbel will
be. sed Ma that lots of peepul won't
feel so much like singing hereafter.
Most singers began thare career in the
days when wine made peepul raise
thare voics in song, sed Ma. Will men
sing hereafter as Lacy did here-to
four?.
Maybe not, sed Pa, but they will
wc rk better & crn moar wages &. thare
will be a lot of songs in wlmmcn's
harts, sed Pa.
You deer boy, sed Ma, you know,
doant you.
You bet I know, sed Pa I know
