LAUGH IT OFF.
Xf the weather looks like rain
Laugh it off. -
When you feel you must complain,
Laugh it off.
Peo not sit and nurse your fears,
Waste no time in useless tears,
Put your faith in smiles and cheers,
Laugh it off.
Jf men say you're looking ill,
Laugh it off.
Should they recommend a pill,
Laugh it off.
Dectors, druggists and disease
©Ofien you can save the fees,
Laugh it off.
Xf life seems to go dead wrong,
Laugh it off. ’
Drown your sorrows in a song,
Laugh it off.
De your work with smiling face,
Esok ahead and keep the pace,
Be a winner in the race,
Laugh it off.

SPECIAL GAME LEGISLATION.
House Bill No. 455.—This act
amends Section 24 of the general

viz. October 1st to January 31st in-
clusive.
3. The use of poison, explosives or
chemicals, or smoking or digging out

the purpose of taking fur-bearing an- '
imals is unlawful.
_4. Persons residing upon and cul-
tivating lands may dig out dens dur-
ing the closed season in fields which
they have under actual cultivation, or

ship out of the State the skins of fur-
bearing animals illegally taken, and

bidden.

offense and for each subsequent of-
fense $50.00, collected in a summary
proceeding before a Justice or Magis-
trate, together with the surrender of
all paraphernalia and pelts illegally

GET-TOGETHER GAMES.
The following games have been
tried out under varied conditions in
various parts of the country and have
been given every possible test as to
real re-creative ability.
A CHINESE SPELL-DOWN.
The idea is like that of a regular
spelling match, except that words
ample, “Kitty” is not spelled K-i-t-t-y,
but y-t-t-i-K! The time given each
person to reverse his spelling and
think the word backward is decidedly
limited, according to the leader, who
and tries to run up a tie score when,
of course, interest is at its highest
point. Then the announcement that
the next point is the deciding one nat-
urally creates a real tension, which is
hardly relieved when the leader calls
out something like Mississippi or
Pennsylvania for the last word! In-!
stead of discarding those whose
tongues and brains cannot reverse, a
score is kept of each error, and the
score announced as each new word is
given out. This creates a healthy
competition, and if the leader hints |
at refreshment time such a hint
usually acts as a powerful mental
stimulant!
THE HARMONIOUS HUNT.
If you are looking for the kind: of
game that leaves guests exhausted
with that comfortable exhaustion
that comes from helpless laughter,
divide your group into teams, each
team having a captain and an individ-
ual team call. Calls may be braying
like a donkey; mooing like a cow;
cock-a-doodle-doo-ing; whistling; cat- |
calling; meowing; barking; quaking; !
baaing; gobling; or imitating sounds '
of instruments like the drum, “rubba- |
dubb-dubb;” the piccolo, “tweedle- .
deedle-dee;” the trombone, “boom- |
boom-boom;” the triangle, “knick-
knock-knock;” the mandolin, “plank- '
plank-plank;” the cymbal, “zum-zum- |
zum;” the accordion, ‘“yea-yea-yea;” |
in each case pantomiming the action '
as well as imitating the sound, The!
action for the accordion inflicts real |
punishment on its imitators. Arms |
are bent upward and elbows are thrust |
out sideways and drawn in rapidly.
Very good for stout people.
Each team is assigned one of these
calls, and must use only that way of |
calling to the team captain. Peanuts |
or candy or favors are hidden in every |
conceivable spot. When the signal is
given, the hunt is on. No one, how- |
ever, except a captain,is allowed to |
touch a peanut. That is the reason
for the call. As soon as a person finds
a peanut, he stands beside it and sends
out an S O S for his captain, using
his team call as the signal for help.
The captain answers each call by run-
ning to the spot, and picking up the
peanut. After a definite length of
time, the closing signal is given and
the hunt is over. Each captain counts
his find, and the losing team must give
up all their peanuts to be divided |
equally among the winners, in spite of
inevitable protests! :
MIMIC.
If there are more than fifteen or |
Even “Mimic” becomes monotonous
in a large circle. Those forming the
circle are seated, men beside their
partners, the leader taking the part
of one of the girls. She begins the ac-
tion by doing something to the man
at her right who in turn must mimic
her action exactly to the girl to his
right, and so the action goes all
around the circle till it comes back to
the leader, who starts a new one.
This may continue for about four or!
five rounds, and can be made the best
game of the evening if the leader has
planned sufficiently diabolical actions.
For example, her first might be to do
a funny step in front of him, at the
same time tra-la-la-la-ing in a high
key. Her right-hand neighbor must
imitate her to the very best of his
ability. Her next action might be to
sing up the scale to the highest note
she can reach; next she might cry as
and then
laugh as musically as she can!
MELODIOUS MODULATIONS.
This is particularly for a group of
guests who could in no sense be called
musical. The guests are standing in
a circle with a man and a girl in the
center. If the group is large, have
the members crowd in to make the cir-
cle space smaller so that it will not
make Jacob’s work too difficult. The
game is played like the old-fashioned
“Ruth and Jacob,” both of them being
blindfolded, and it being the task of
Jacob to catch Ruth. Instead of call-
ing Ruth, however, Jacob sings up the
scale, whether he can or not, and Ruth
answers by singing down the scale,
both of them using “Loo” instead of
do-re-mi, /
The game is infinitely more ridicu-
lous if neither one can sing, and if the
leader has created the right atmos-
phere, even though a man protests “I
just can’t sing,” he will usually finish
up by making a noble effort to do it
anyhow!
When Jacob catches Ruth the lead-
er, who has in the meantime been
looking over the circle, immediately
annuonces the next two victims, and
almost invariably public opinion will
be with her to such an extent that
they step forth, willy-nilly.
How to Break Broody Hens.
When hens bcome broody they
should be “broken up” as quickly as
possible. The sooner this is done, the
sooner they will resume laying. To
break a hen of broodiness, she should
be conflned to a small coop raised off
the ground, preferably with a slat bot-
tom. Give her plenty of water to
drink; she may be fed or not, as de-
sired. Not much difference will be
found in the time required to break
her of broodiness, whether she is fed
or made to fast, say poultry special-
ists of the United States Department
of Agriculture.
Usually from three to six days’ con-
finement will break her, but some hens
require ten to twelve days. The broody
hen will be recognized by her inclina-
tion to stay on the nest at night, the
ruffling of her feathers and her picking
at anyone who approches her, and by
the clucking noise she makes. The
fact that her broodiness has been
“broken up” can be recognized by the
disappearance of these symptoms.

HS REPUTATION AT STAKE.
Man Who Buys Standard Brands
From Local Merchants Knows
That He Is Getting Full
Value for His Money.
(Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.)
Time was when advertisinz did not
occupy the place in the world of trade
that it does today. It has not been
$0 very many years ago that the peo-
ple were suspicious of advertising. '
They were inclined tu believe that the
merchant was trying to “fool” them
with his advertisins, that he exug-
gerated the value of the merchandise
Le advertised and took that method
of trying to get them to buy goous
that he could not sell by the old estab-
lished methods of merchandising.
Those days are gone. The public
now realizes that it is the great:st
beneficiary of advertising.
Advertising has done more in a de-
cade to establish certain standards in
merchandise than could have been ac-
complished in a hundred years by any
othei' agency. The manufacturer who |
a few years ago merely made and sold
clothes now makes and sells the Blank
brand of clothes. The man who for-
merly just made hats pow makes
Blank’s hats. And so it is with every-
thing that one buys today. The manu-
facturer, by his advertising, has built
up his business around a trade name
and if he is to continue in business
he must protect that trade name by
maintaining such a high standard of
quality that people, when they buy his
products will know just what they are
getting. The consumer, when he goes
into a store today, does not buy mer-
chandise blindly, with the HOPE that
it will prove to be worth the money.
He buys standard goods that bear the
trade-mark of the manufacturer and
that are backed by the reputation not
only of the merchant who sells them
“nt the manufacturer who makes them.
This has been brought about by ad-
vertising.
No Reputation to Protect.
All this applies to the retail mer-
chants as a class but it does not ap-
ply to the mail order business. The
man or woman who buys goods from
a catalogue house is not protected by
the manufacturer of the goods for the
reason that most marufacturers who
sell goods to the mail order houses
do not place their names upon the '
goods and therefore have no reputa-
tion to protect.
The great majority of articles listed
and illustrated in the mail order cata-
logues are included in what is known
among manufacturers as “stencil”
stuff. These articles bear the name of
the mail order house which sells them
instead of that of the manufacturer
who makes them. It can readily be
understood that any manufacturing
concern which turns out goods that
do not bear its name or trade-mark is
likely to be a very unreliable institu-
tion. It is not building up any repu-
tation on the quality of its goods for
its products have nothing to distin-
guish them from the products of any
other concern. With no reputation to
sustain and no chance of creating a
general demand for its goods the only
concern of a manufacturing institu-
tion of this kind is to make stuff as
cheaply as possible in order to obtain
the largest possible profit on its prod-
ucts. :
Same Price World Over.
These facts are chiefly responsible
for the generally prevailing idea that
the home merchants do not se!l goods
as cheaply as the mail order house.
They do sell the same quality of goods
that the mail order house sells as
cheaply as the mail order house sells
it but they cannot sell the standard,
guaranteed products of responsible
manufacturers at the same price at
which the mail order house sells its
nameless, unbranded merchandise.
Standard goods bearing a registered
trade-mark sell for the same price the
world over and the manufacturer’s
guarantee stands back of them when
they are sold in the smallest village
in the country just the same as when
they are sold in the stores of the larg.
est cities.
This is what the national advertis-
ing of the manufacturers has done
for the consumers of the country. It
has enabled them to go into their home
stores and buy merchandise which they
know from past experience or from
the reputation and guarantee of the
manufacturer will give them satisfac-
tion. They are not buying blindly
and hopefully when’ they buy from the
merchants in their home towns. They
are buying with the knowledge that
they are getting their money’s worth.
When they buy advertised brands they
are getting double protection, that
which is afforded by the responsibility
of the retail merchant and that which
is given by the reputation and guar-
antee of the manufacturer. When they
buy the unknown brands of goods,
that are offered by the mail order
houses they are getting neither kind
of protection.
