WATCH THE HEADACHES

When your child complains of
headache, and does it often, have his
eyes tested as soon as possible The
eyes may be under a constant strain
which will injure them early. So, too,
if the ear runs, you should see doc

may soon be deaf for life.

SCHOOL HAS MISSION
Rural Schools Should Become Social
centers

The training of country ilildren to
grow two bushels of corn where one
bushel grew before is coinmendable
thing. To bring this about many
changes may be made in the PRO-
grams of most country schools. Arith-
metic problems may be worked out in
terms of corn and potatoes and COWS.
Reading may be largely confined to
subjects of interest to country boys
and girls. Essay on farm topics
may be written in place of the usual
parsing and other grammar work.
This will lay a foundation for much
practical work in the later years Of
school life
Older students trained in the ele-
mentary principles OF agriculture
could conduct termination tests Of
corn and grain. Herds could be test
ed, rafions could be worked out for
livestock, records could be kept of
poultry, garments could be made for
f NOME, dilu tHS diI " sCOO-liS COoiA1iiS o'>S
be cultivated. These and many other
practical htings could be worked out
with the school house as a center.
Added to this is the social pleasure
that could be obtained by everyone
j in the community when a permanent
interest in the school was establish
ed. Basket socials, evening entertain
nents, picnics, school house fairs,
lectures and moving pictures would
make the rural school real factor in
the social Improvement OF the school
district. The country school has a
mission which should not be neglect

The editor OF this paper accompan-
led his sixteen-year-old son, Adolph,
to Minneapolis on Friday evening for
the purpose of having him examined
by medical specialists. About three
years ago he was out with some 9th
er boys on farm picking mustard.
1t started to rain while they were in
the field and then the boys went to
the hay loft where they proceeded to
amuse themselves with various sorts
|of capers as boys will Among 9TH
er things, they tried to see how far
down their throats they could hold a
grain Of wild oats. Adolph happened
to drop his oat, which was inhaled
into the air passage. 1t hurt him
greatly for little while, and then the
pain ceased but ever since he has
I>heen subject to coughing spells in
the nights, sometimes of more and
sometimes Of less severity. In the
day time he did not cough a great
deal, until lately, and his appetite
seemed fairly good, vet he has never
been quite the same robust boy as
before the accident. Although hs,
has grown in stature he has seeming
" gotten weaker physically and m
able to take part in games which he
formerly used to do. His physical
condition also has interfered with
his work at school. Last winter he
was the victim of another serious ae-
cident. He and some other boys
were in the Sheaf Office playing and
scuffling around a little aus boys often
do, and as a climax began to grab for
each others necks. Adolph was Sc
yerely squeezed in the neck, resulting
in the neck becoming sore and stiff
One side of the neck became paralyz
ed, the trouble spreading also to one
side of the head and face. This in
jury seemed to affect him even more
than the other. At Minneapolis, the
boy was placed in a hospital where he
will be examined by two or three
specialists. His case is a peculiar
one and thus far We have not learned
whether or not anything can be done
for him. His parents hope for the
best

Agricultural Department an Aid to Housewives

Commercial industries we're long

since II was found that gaining knowl-
edge by experience was much more
costly than gaining II by systematic
study. 1t is only lately that we have
come to realize that II is equally
profitable to study the housekeepers'
problems.
Fifty years ago few such ques-
tons had been taken TO the labora-
tory and few schools gave instruction
in such Subjects. Today very many
men and women OF scientific training
have taken the home problem to the
laboratory and are finding ways OF
helping the housekeeper to solve her
problems satisfactorily,
The department of agriculture has
studied many questions which relate
to the use OF agricultural products on
the farm and In the home. but per-
haps none of them has a closer re-
lation to the household than the nu-
triton Investigations OF the Office OF
experiment stations. which have to do
with the use OF agricultural products
as human foods and whose object Is
to help the housewife In her efforts
to provide good living at reasonable
cost, without undue labor"

Turkey Trot New? Danced 500 Years in Borneo

TT WILL be news to many doubtless
l that the much-criticised turkey
trot" has been danced to the rain god
OF a savage tribe in the north of Bor-
neo for more than five hundred years.
Several young women OF one Of Wash
ington's exclusive circles were as
founded when Prof Edward David
SON. a Washington dancing master
made this statement to them during
a lecture on the history OF dancing.
Professor Davidson said that the
"trot" is one OF the holy OF HOLES
in the religion of the savage Muruts.
When there comes a prolonged dry
spell these head-hunting natives per-
form the trot day in and day out until
the great rain god has heard their
prayers. The professor visited the
north of the island several years ago
He says he saw them dance around
the image of the god an entire night
During the latter part of the
eighteenth century the turkey trot
was introduced into the dancing
schools of Italy and Portugal, and
soon everybody was doing 1t. In the
FIRST part of the nineteenth century
y gradually died out.

MO branch Of the United States gov
~ eminent comes so near to the life
Of the people as the department OF
agriculture, which deals with the cot.
ton and other fibers of which our
clothes are made, the focks and
herds we raise, the crops we produce.
the food we eat and the timber OF
which our houses are built
The closeness Of the relation be-
tween the department and the people
is in great measure due to the fact
that the use which Is made of agri-
cultural products receives as much
attention as their production. and the
great bulk of these products is used
in the home.
Commenting on this phase of the
departments work Secretary Wilson
said:
