BEACH OFFERS ATTRACTIONS
Seaside Amusements Would Delight
and Entertain Frolickers
(Flrst Prize)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
NOR the midsummer frolic think
it would be nice for the Juniors
= to go to some beach near Los
Angeles and spend the day. We could
take our lunch and meet some place
in Los Angeles about $3.50 in the morn
ing and take the street car to Venice.
When we got to Venice we could
amuse ourselves easily, for there are
the boats, plunge and many other
things which would take UP our time.
At noon we could meet on the pier
and eat our lunch on the tables there.
Then we could do what we pleased un-
til time to go home, when we could all
get together and come back to Los An
geles.
Hoping this will meet with your ap-
proval l am, your niece,

Dear Aunt Laurie:

would like to go to Elysian park

mic and enjoyed 1t very much.
1t is a very pretty place. The first

1t has paths and roads all through it.
There are pretty flowers and shade
trees in this park
There are benches and seats along
the paths.
The second part Is more wild than
the first part, but it Is nice there also.
One does not see SO many people
there.
In another part OF 1t there is a lake.
IL is not very far from the pigeon

1t Is very pretty place and am

city Boys Vacation

Dear Aunt Laurie.
Vacation days are here once more;
What great fun we have in store.
For mother promised we might stay
Here In the country, with Aunt May.
With older counsins, Tom and Jack,
All day long no sport Wen lack.
We ii run barefooted every day.
Well tramp to the meadows, there to play;
BY the brook. to fish. Wen go.
Tom and Jack the road viii know,
Through the forest so shady and cool.
'1il we come to the ripping pool.
Then on its messy banks well sit,
While all around the wild birds fit.
The tree tops win rustic as they bend.
And pretty flowers perfume will send.
Wen gather fern and blossoms fair,
Tie our fish TO the string with care,
Then homeward we shall start,
All 50 glad that in cur heart
We thought we'd visited Fairyland-
Natures gifts were the fairies, and we one

Advises Beach Picnic

Dear Aunt Lau.ie:
In your topic this week you askd us
to give you our advice where to go on
our summer outing trip.
Now, myself think Venice is very
good place for a day Of fun. There is
the miniature railway, which all your
nephews would like; there is the bump
the-bumps. which all the children,
am sure would like; there Is dancing
free of charge in the afternoon for
girls and boys; there are swings, see
saws, ETC.; there Is a -go-round,
and boats, canoes and gondolas float
up and down the narrow and beautiful
canals. The plunge and the wharf are
also things which amuse Herald Ju-
nior nephews and nieces. Most loving
ly, your niece,

CAMPING OUT IN PINE
FORESTS IS SUGGESTED
(Honorable MentIon)

Dear Aunt Laurie
4 DO not expect to be able to go with
you on the midsummer frolic,
"A but | think 1t would be nice to
go up in the pine forests In the noun
tains on camping trip with good Ash
ing tackle. etc, with us and have a
regular good time for about week or
two.
We could take ropes along and make
swings and could climb the hills. and
khen among the trees would be
lovely place to play hide and seek and
other games.
In the evening we would sit around
the camp fire and tell stories and sing
songs until bed time.
OF course, we would want someone
along who could kill a mountain lion
or anything like that-if we should be
troubled with one.
know this plan cannot be used for
the midsummer frolic, but 1 really
think a camping trip would be a nne
way for all the cousins to get ac-
ouainted, don't you?

Hay Ride picnic

Dear Aunt Laurie;
am your nephew and what is
more l am glad of it.
At your request 1 will give sug-
gestion for the Juniors midsummer
frolic. 1t is hay ride" That is
my suggestion, but maybe you can
find a better one. Or, the Juniors
could get on the wagon and go to some
good picnic grounds. l think that the
best place to have a picnic is beside a
lake way out in the fields. 1 think it
would be very nice to stay on the bank
of some crystal lake, and it would be
better, too, if there was rowboat or
raft handy.

Stamp For Tuberculosis Crusade.

The Red Cross Christmas stamp
crusade against tuberculosis promises
this year to be broader in extent than
ever before While last year fewer than
100000 stamps were sold. the pres
ent indications point to sale of near
" 100000 for this year. The Red
Cross stamps are issued by the Amer
lean Nationa: Red Cross and are sole
for / cent each. They are designed to
be placed upon letters and mail mat
ter during the holiday season. The
money derived from the sale of these
stamps will be devoted to tuberculosis
work in the localities in which the
stamps are sold. In this manner it is
expected that about 100000 will be
realized for the campaign against tu-
berculosis In all parts of the United
States.

His Little Joke.

An enterprising Philadelphia restau-
rant proprietor hung out large black
board sign one day with the following
announcement: you Can't Beat Our
10 Cent Dinners"
This sign proved to be a good draw
ing card until a young man of humor-
Gus turn of mind came along. The lat
ter, seeing the sign. stopped and after
scrutinizing it closely smiled Que of
those smiles which bode no one any
good. He waited until none Of the
employees was watching. and. taking
out his handkerchief, he erased the
letter ''b'' from the word beat"
The transformation was complete,
and it was not until a crowd had col.
lected that the proprietor of the res
taurant discovered why there was
larger crowd outside than inside.

SUPERVISORS TO

Have Usual Routine Business to

Employees to Select

Members of the board of super
visors have been notified that a ses-

Dec. 6. At this meeting, in addition
to the regular routine of business, the
selection of a number Of the county
employees will be made. These include

The finance committee Of the board
is to meet Nov. 20 for the purpose of
auditing the books of the county clerk
and other county officers.
The Value of Proprietary Medicines
is proven by the very large percentage
of physicians prescriptions for the
same remedies found in every drug
store in America, but as they are
written in Latin, few patients realize
this fact.
The old standard proprietary medi-
cines like Lydia E. Pingham's Vega-
table Compound, that have stood the
test of time. deserve a place in every
family medicine chest, and it is most
certain they would not be prescribed
by physicians if they were able to de-
wise a formula equally as eff1cacious.

had tried nearly everything | could see
advertised and hear of, without helping
me to any great extent. until finally in
October last at Ripan, Wis, purchased
a one dollar bottle of Swamp-Root and
commenced taxing it according 20 direc-
tions and followed that with another
bottle and experienced such great relief
and benefit from same that | purchased
FIVE dollars worth at Huntsville, Ala,
and continued its use and am nov taking
it, but in smaller doses and twice a day
in place OF four times day and believe
by the time present supply is used up
