Among congratulations to the Statesman, was a letter from one of Texas’ most successful men, from which we quote: “In the cities—and. Austin {fs a clty—the even- ing newspapers are the newspapers the people want. They are the papers the people read. They glance over the morning papers, the men may carry them downtown to look over the headlines as they o to work on the car, but every member of the ied takes the afternoon paper and reads every line in it in the evenings. “The evening papers get the cream of news and advertising. That’s the reason.” A TOUGH OUTLOOK ERLIN reports that, during May and June, the Germans captured 494,000 Russians. At this rate, it is not a matter of “starving out Germany” but one of German’s being eaten out of house and home by her boarders. ALK ON ACCOUNT OF YouR €TERNAL Fussiness! AND PEEL THE SPULDS FOR.

AN EDITORIAL BY A GIRL TO OTHER GIRLS (8, this is not a man-written editorial, but an editorial written by one of you to you, When you were babies your mother bought you a little rag doll to play with and you made mud pies in the garden, When you grew older a baby-doll took its place and instead of mud pies you tried your luck at “real ones.’’ Mother showed you how to “keep house” and take the very best care of your “baby,” and in this way you spent many, many happy hours. Now that you are grown up and school is out for a few months—why don't you play house again? Only this time play ‘really house,” for it is just as important that you know how to run a house and cook well as it is to learn your school lessons. Be the housekeeper in your own house for about a month and give your mother a vacation! The very idea of it will make everybody happy and while you are learning to keep house and cook you will be having just as much fun as you had playing house when you were a little girl. Perhaps you have noticed that since the fine summer weather has made its appearance mother is beginning to look tired, and that she is working Help! Help! ALFRED. JOUN, PETER AND WILLIAM ARE FLAT BROKE! ALL 16 PEACE \N THE vMPUMP GARAGE! PAGE 4, with her nerves instead of with her muscles. The housekeeping has run along so smoothly thru the winter and there has been so much happiness and sunshine within the quarters of the home wall that you do not realize how much planning and thinking she has done to keep the wheels running smoothly. Tell mothher that she needs a rest and that you are going to make it possible for her to take it right at home. She must have her breakfast in bed, served on a dainty tray, as tho she had al- ways been a lady of leisure. It will be hard for her to be inactive for a while, but she will begin to enjoy the novelty of the situation very While you are tidying up the house, starting the luncheon and making the beds—mother can be out in the garden or in the hammock reading some of the books and magazines that she had to push aside during the busy winter months. In the afternoon she can go calling or to the park while you take care of little sister, if you have one, or start to fix things for supper. How splendid it will be to sit down at the table with mother and the rest of the family and know that you have done everything to put the house in apple-pie order and made all the good things to soon, eat yourself.
