between play that is governed and
plav that insures personal freedom.
and Miss Lamkin demonstrated this
to the satisfaction of all. Her d.
rection Of the tournament was one
of the progressive features of ad-
vancing modern methods in chau-
tauqua. She so far solves the prob
lem of child training that the par
entail interests Of the nation should
familiarize themselves with her
teachings. She is indispensable
to any program in chautauqua
work.
'Absorb the young citizenship
with good cheer, pure examples and
healthful wor k and free air and YOU
will have it preoccupied against the
baser elements of life, is the phil
osophy Of Miss Lamkin's work."
Besides the work with the chill
dren Miss Lamkin will give six
und-table-talks to parents. teach
ers, and others interested in the up
bringing Of children. These talks
will be along the lines of the fol-
lowing subjects:

This Is said to be one of the

be put at frequent intervals among
the plants subject to attack, not, how
ever, nearer than twelve inches to the
plant, for, in case of rain, the Paris
green might be washed against the
roots and would injure or kill the
plant. Thorough cultivation is an aid;
pieces of single or board placed at
intervals over the garden serve as
traps under which the cut worms hide
toward morning and can be found and
killed. Frequently the depredator will
be found within an inch or so of the
plant cut, buried an inch under the
soil. Young plants, like cabbage,
caulidower, ETC., when first set out in

by paper, or tin, or barrier of some
sort, which should extend into the

Mothers Day.

The second Sunday in May has
been designated by Governor
Eberhart as Mothers Day with the
following proclamation.
1.-The beautiful custom of setting
apart one day in each year to pay
tribute to our mothers should not
be abandoned or be forgotten. No
element in either national or
domestic life is more important
than the mothers of our country.
Home virtues are the safeguard of
our existence. Our mothers are
their highest exemplifcation.
Il recommend, therefore, that
the second Sunday in MAY be so
observed as to make it of practical
service to mankind, and to give it
a permanent place in the list Of
Minnesota holidays" ..s
