People from all over the state were
there, including Governor Gardner.
The Barry county exemption board
has sent out a call for 200 men to ap
pear before the board on Wednesday
and Thursday, September 26 and 27.
One hundred will be examined each
day.
The wen who will appear for ex
amination at that time are those
whose number are from 457 to 657 in
the list of men drafted from this coun
ty. ' :
Barry county is having a hard time
lo make up her quota of 178 men and
the exemption board is working hard.
If we had received credit for all the
men who had enlisted from the coun
ty, we would soon have our quota
ready.

Women have more strength In their
looks than we have in our laws and
more power by their tears than we
have by our argument. Women are
quick to recognize genius and to listen
when wisdom speaks. Vhey may chat
ter In the presence of fools, but know
aud appreciate the value of earnest,
sensible men.
It is assumed that tbe Almighty
made mitn us bis masterpiece, and.
conceited being that be is, man accept
ed this statement as a piece of truth.
That tbe earth and all It contains
were made for bis special benefit, that
woman was created solely for bis com
fort, that tbe suu was made to give
him light by day and tbe moon to en
able him to find bis way borne at night,
that the heavens were bung with a re
splendent curtain of stars and the plan
ets sent whirling through space in a
majestic dance about tbe god of day
simply to afford him matter for won
der and amusement ideas of this sort
evince an egotism that can only be ac
credited to man.
Masterpieces indeed! Wby, God
made man and, finding tbat be could
not take care of himself, madn wo
man to care of him, and she Is dis
charging her heaven ordained duty iu
an artistic and capable manner.
Are Women the Weaker Vessels?
Men are fond of alluding to women
as "the weaker vessels,""and Pope culls
man the "great lord of things." Men
rule witb a rod of iron tbe creatures
of tbe earth, tbe sea and tbe air. They'
burl defiance in tbe face of kings and
presidents. They tread tbe ocean's
foam lieneutu their feet, they' harness
the Imperial thu:iei'Mts to the jaunt
ing electric car and even succeed In
mounting tbe storm aud -flying upon
tbe wind, but the bravest of them
tremble and lie like Cretans when call
ed upon by tbelr wives to explain some
of their extravagant purchases, and for
this reason many men delegate tbeir
wives as tbe official "family shoppers'
and thereby shift the responsibility to
them.
More Good Sense Than Men.
Women have more good sense than
men. They have fewer pretensions,
are less Implicated in theories and
judge of valueis more from tbelr im
mediate and involuntary impressions on
the mind and therefore more truly
and naturally, ltvis said "men Imre
