The Teacher.
(Monroe Enqquirer
No matter how many factories may
close, no matter how many in other
ines may be out of employment, this
s a busy time with the teachers and
here are not enough of them to meet
he demand. The dearest thing in
this world is a cheap teacher. And
on the pther hand there is no class
. npnnifi who trive more for vhat
they receive than do the good faith
"ul teachers in our schools. Fortu
nate that, child who has a teacher
.vho not only teaches from the text
ooks. but who inculcates great
principles and teaches the elements
hich go to make up high character.
ftive encouragement to the teacher
In your school- Visit the school oc
asionally and see for yourself what
the teacher has to contend with. See
o it that the teacher has fair play
Oo not send to him a numbskull and
expect the teacher to turn out a men
tal giant. The teacher cannot make
brains. All the teacher can do is to
cultivate and develop the brains fur
nished. Before you put the tongue
lash of criticism to the teacher be
sure that you sent a child a reason
able amount of brain matter to be
developed. Many a fool whose chil
dren took after him or her in the
way of brains has complained bitter
ly because the child was not proper
ly taught when the whole trouble
was not in its teaching, but in its
birth.

JIM'S LIABILITY
(By William R. Cowles)
"Well doctor, let me know the
worst." Jim Hendricks tried to spak
jokingly, but there was something a
bout the coldly professional atmos
phere of the physician's office which
precluded jocularity. And besides,
the worst might be so very bad!
As a matter of fact, it wasn't.
"You're suffering from well, not
exactly shell-shock, but something
similar. Quit dealing with words
and figures. You say you're an ac
countant? Well, get hold of a job
where you handle tangible, material
things and let somebody else keep
the books- Farming, for instance.
A few years spent thus will doubtless
put your nervous system back on the
rails again."
Jim left, deeply despondent. All
the long apprenticeship gone for
naught. Farming bah! He had
never fancied the country. He won
dered about Shirley, his "letter
girl" what would she thing of being
a farmer's wife?
Ultimately, Jim staked his all on a
little grocery store on th eoutskirts
of the city and almost lost out.
The opportunity had been rather
thrust upon him by the death of the
owner, a friend of Jim's father, and
the subsequent bewilderment of the
widow, who wanted to go back to
Canada to her own people. The first
hing Jim knew he had purchased
the store, lock, barrel and good will:
had put Mrs. Kirkham and three
children on the train for Montreal.
and had promised to keep an eye on
Molly Kirkham, who was staying on
to finish a course in business college.
If Jim's winter stretched ahead of
him far differently than he had plan
ned, it yet promised no idle moments.
What with caring for the old trade
and trying to build up new, penning
ong letters to Shirley, in which he
had not yet summoned up sufficient
courage to tell her of his change in
occupation, and keeping an eye upon
Mollyas agreed upon. Jim hardly!
ound time to lament for his lost job.
Molly developed a not unpleasant
habit of dropping in evenings and
helping him make up his books
the sort of work he had been told to
avoid and at times Jim began to
think' how very pleasant it would be
if only his letter girl would break her
rule that he was not to hunt her out
for a while, so that he misrht have
her companionship as well as the
cheerful camaraderie of correspondence.
"I say, Jimmy," began Molly one
evening breaking in upon this sort of
meditation, "what's the idea of put
ting the soda fountain way down
back?"
I don't know," said Jim. "What
would you say my idea was?"
"Trying to hide it!" She nodded
her head wisely. "Now, you know,
away out here a soda fountain in a
grocery store ought to be a paying
line. Move it out front. Let it tick
le people's imaginations on the way
in, and they'll be too weak to resist
it on the way out." She slipped
down from her perch and helped her
self to a salted peanut from the Jar
"Molly," Jim waylaid her, took her
by the shoulders and gave her a lit
tie shake. "When I left for France
you were nothing but a kid and
now why " He broke off vague
ly. He must hold himself in hand
He had decided long ago that he was
going to marry Shirley. Well, that
meaiis nix on other girls and hands
off!
"Yep," said Molly, cheerfully.
was only a kid and never would you
give-me that much notice!" She
indicated an infinitesimal amount of
air space between her thumb and
forefinger. Then, "By the way,"
she said at the very doorway, "if you
want to bepr osperous, look prosper
ous! Get a telephone and put it
right up in front of the store. And
Saturday I'll come around and wash
your windows. "Then she was gone
Now it happened some three weeks
later that in her meagerly furnished
little room, a pretty girl sat chew
ing the end of her penholder. On
the table before her lay two sheets of
paper one blank, the other covered
with a sprawling penmanship which
had grown very dear.
At last Jim had told her all the
story of the last few months ai?d had
quite formally asked her to be his
wife. And although, of course, there
was never a mention of one Molly
Kirkham, still the girl felt that,
somehow or other, there was some
thing missing. The spark of fire
which had lighted his letters and
touched off an answering glow in
her heart was gone. Therefore, she
chewed the penholder and pondered
her reply.
And because the words leaped up
suddenly before her eyes- "I've had
a telephone installed, Angell, 801
R," she slipped downstairs to the
telephone.
"Yes yes Shirley! You're go
ing to be married? to an old friend
Shirley No, of course it's all
right Why, certainly No, as a
matter of fact, I'm rather glad!"
Jim hung uo the receiver to wait
for Molly. Wcn she came. "Tell
me." he said gently, "why didn't you
write to me as molly, instead of in
venting a Shirley whom I, nearly fell
in love with instead of with you?"
"If I had," retorted Molly, defen
sively, "what would it have mean
a note from the red-headed Kirkham
kid! I had to create a new person
ality! But how did you find out we
were the same?"
"Easy," said Jim. "Any man who
doesn't know the voice of the woman
he loves, however disguised, doesn't
deserve her. Do you know, little
girl, when your mother asked me to
keep an eye on you I thought you
were the greatest liability that went
with the business. But I've changed
! my mind, sweetheart. You re tne
greatest asset a man could have!
Another reason why a girl
doesn't mind beiiio flat-chested is
because she'd rather put her hair up
in curlers every night than have it
naturally curly.

When you let your fire
go out at night, the un
burned coal is thrown
out with the ashes.
When you build the fire
in the morning, you burn additional coal to
overcome the coldness of the room.
On the other hand
you can leave your fire burning in a
CAMERON MAID HEATER at night, and
in the morning, you will come to a warm
room, where it is only necessary to open the
drafts, to have as hot a fire as you wish.
One bucket of coal will do the trick 1
You can get more heat with less fuel in the CAMERON
MAID HEATER and it will last for years and years.
There's a CAMERON MAID dealer in your commun
ity who will be glad to show you this Heater.
