Governor George W. Hays, of Ar
Kansas, made the keynote of his mes
sage to the recently assembled legis
lature of that State, "a square dea
to
capital." He urged that guaran
tees be given to every legitimat
business in the State, as well as pros
, pective outside investors. The gov
ernor took official cognizance of th
change "in sentiment toward th
transportation companies."

The scarcity of copper in Germany j
is becoming a very serious problem. I i:

per telegraph and cable wires are to! b

5t It is reported also that the Ger- I
mans have removed the great bronze

The Frankfort Gazette announces e
that the price of copper has been d
fixed at 235 marks ($5,875) I. - 13 F

a How the Trouble Began. p
h
He had been reading the paper g
and occasionally repeating to her e
some item that seemed particularly p
interesting. Thus it happened he p
ran across c item about the inven- s
tion of a ma-hine for washing horses, t
"They'll b;.ve machines for wash- c
ine babies next," he suggested. g
L" "Huh!" she exclaimed indignantly,
11 "I'd just like to see my baby washed
by a machine!"
i. "So would I," he returned,
e He afterward explained to some
one at the club that it was an exhibi- t
- tion of the insincerity of woman, for, t
v while he had done absolutely nothing u
but agree with her, she was so dis- v
pleased that he found it possible to
v read his paper in comfort. f
? t
Shor-;U Women Propose? s
a
e Every little while the time-worn r
question "Should women propose?" t
i. takes a new lease of life, and the f
i- war of wits wages merrily for a j
i- time. y
It is always taken as a huge joke, ;
it not to he considered seriously for a e
s moment.
d Of course women should not pro- i<
pose, and she never will in the strict- n
, est sense of the world. But if we j
s only knew the true inwardness of t
_ many a case, I wonder how many r
women do indirectly propose. li
^ They do not say, in so many words, t
"Will you marry me," but they at- a
4 tend to all the stage settings and s
give the leading man his hue, and i
before he realizes what he is doing s
e he finds himself an engaged man. a
II Perhaps he never really knows q
e just how much assistance he has s
naa. a
Some men actual need this prod- a
ding to bring them to the proposal v
s point. They hang around the girl
for ages, never getting their courage ii
r< up to do the asking, and all the time n
[j keeping other eligible men away from a
r her. b
Who can blame the girl or call her p
unmaidenly if she helps such a tar- d
l" dv wooer along a bit? She does not p
' propose to him; she simply makes it v
easy for him to propose to her. t
r There are some girls, alas! who o
? practically asks a man his intentions a
d - - - ^ i-, ?
before ne Knows mem uioiscu. c
They are the girls who are not wil- t
ling to accept mere friendship from n
a man?with them it is lovemaking p
or nothing. . That they frequently i
end by being old maids does not seem t
to be a warning to others of their p
.. kind.
A girl cannot expect a man to pro- t
[_ pose to her unless she gives him d
,j some encouragement, but there is a v
. hoppy medium in lovemaking as in c
e all other things. o
If the man i6 attentive to a girl and a
_ she likes him, there is no harm In
e her showing her liking in a modest, c
e dignified way. She need not run a
after him, but she can let him see a
^ that she likes to be with him and 1
(j that his coming is always welcome. a
If she rushes nervously into con- p
g versation every time there comes a .h
_ significant pause in their conversa- p
g tion, she can defer the proposal in- fl
; definitely unless the young man is c
e a determined wooer. a
. I tiirips of custom have decreed v
I --
that women should not propose to h
_ man. It Is an unwritten law, but a t<
very stringent one. The mere fact t<
e of a woman seeking him would be
v enough to send the ordinary man t<
I cantering gaily in the opposite di- f<
y rection. r
3 But many a man is gently propel- tl
! led in a given direction without be- ri
j ing aware of the fact, as long as he a
q thinks he is doing exactly what he si
s want9 to he is perfectly happy. It si
f is a very tactful woman who can p
r lead without showing her hand. si
Some day, perhaps, when woman ci
y has made so much of a place for her- cl
e self in the world that she is Inan- o
I cially on a plane with man, she can a
_ propose with the best of them, but a
. until then she had better be content k
?--*< V-l__ o
with her womaniy privilege ui uemg n
sought. tl
It is more of an honor to be sought, rr
". than to sue. o
e Help things along if you can, do is
a so modestly and tactfully, but don't li
I force the situation, and never forget n
your womanliness.?The World. ci
POPPIES FOIl LINCOLN WAY. j
/iist Twenty Miles to he Planted by
California Children.
When the stream of Eastern tour- 1
sts begins to pour into California
iext spring over the Lincoln highway
hey will pass for mile after mile
etween rows of California poppies,
rhile the Foothill Boulevard leading
nto Oakland will be further beauti- '
ied with a fringe of blue lupines
ihich will set off the brilliant yelow
of the poppies.
The work of gathering the poppy
eeds and of planting them along the
,incoln highway has been undertakn
by the school children of Alamea
county, under the direction of

society. The children of the
ther counties in California crossed
y the coast-to-coast road are expected
to follow the example.
Most of the seed has already been
athered, the children having workd
hard all summer. California poppies
have been seen by many only in
ictures. Their full glory will be

ourist as he drives the last 20 miles

What Can I do to Help the School?
You can do a great many things.
iut I know of none more effective
han to go to school meetings and
ise vour influence and your school
ote to elect good trustees.
Begin with the school house. Its
roper condition is essential to the
lealth of your children. Is the
chool room warm enough in winter
nd cool and shaded enough in summer?
Is it light enough, and does
he light come in at the right angle
or young eyes? Is the whole buildng
clean?as clean as you expect
our home to be? And is it sanitary?
tbove all, is it aired thoroughly
very day?
Is the drinking water pure, or is
t being drawn from a well that has
iot been cleaned out in a generation?
ire the children all drinking out of
he same cup, perhaps dipped into a
noss-and-germ-covered bucket that
as hung in the well since you went
0 school yourself? Are the pupils
.11 washing with the same piece of
oap and wiping on the same towel?
ire the toilet closets in a sanitary
tate, on opposite sides of the jfcrd,
nd screened by lattices? If these
uestions can be satisfactorily anwered
your district Is so exception1
that i^ ought to be written up as
, model. If not, you can't get to
>-ork too soon.
The 'school grounds are almost as
mportant as tne mienur. ^unuiui <
eed ample space to play in, and they <
lso need shade and beauty. The i
est plan for a school yard is a -wide <
lay space, unencumbered in the mid- <
le, with the edges of the inclosure 1
lanted with trees or shrubs, and ?'
*ith flower beds inside. See to it ?
hat it is an inclosure, too, and not <
pen to stray animals to browse in 1
nd befoul. Some schools in the '
ountry have done well with competi- 1
ive beds for flowers and vegetables,
narked off for the children and with 1
rizes given for the best results. <
)on't let your school yard continue i
o be the ugly and dreary and dirty i
lace it too often is. i
Go and see for yourselves, then 1
alk it over with the teacher. But <
on't let it rest there. Keep up the 1
isiting. A good way is to have a <
hanging committee of women to go
ver the school once a week or once i
fortnight. i
Have a "bee" and get together to t
lean the schoolhouse at least twice <
year. Use plenty of soap, water '
nd energy on paint, floors and desks. I
'reat the ceilings with whitewash t
nd the side walls with paper or t
aint; get some good photographs to <
ang?pictures of masterpieces of 1
aintin? or statuary?and have some <
owering plants to be tended by the I
hildren; perhaps you could manage f
p aquarium for them. Make pro- 1
ision for them to enjoy the luncheon (
our. All these things help them ?
3 better work and also help the i
jacher. i
As for the course of study: Is the ^
sacher the very best that can be t
3und? The requirements of the i
ural school are more difficult than t
hose of any city school if the best t
esults are expected. Asiae irom an i
bility to teach the varied subjects \
be should have an attractive per- t
dnality that offers a pattern to her
upils. She should be able to teach a
imple lessons in health and hygiene, g
ire of the teeth and eyes, habits of f
leanliness, and the life-giving uses t
f fresh air and sunlight, how to t
void the most prevalent diseases t
nd what to do in emergencies. This A
ind of knowledge, while important f
ir all children, is ?specially so to t
lose who may live in isolated com- t
lunities. far from doctors, and may t
ften save life. As much instruction t
i also called for in plant and animal e
fe. This not only serves to illumi- i
ate the surroundings in which g
duntrv children are to live, but also r

Pending a political campaign cer
