DON'T TAKE HIM sERIousLY

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Please tell me how I should
punish a young man who really
thinks a great deal of me Gas all
his friends have told me), but
who said to me in a joking man

thought | was just fine, but he is
trying to tell him that / am not
as fine as he thinks j am. I am a
Very good looking young lady and

young man is a critic and scriti-
cises everything that comes in his
path. want to teach him a good
lesson. but don't know how to go
about it, N. A. G.
He likes to tease you, and will con
tinue to tease you as long as you le

Don't take him seriously; that ma,

last Sunday night. when she told
me that she had to give me up on

She said somebody told her

me up. Can you tell me how I
could get her back. for l am al

RESPECT YOUR MorHER,s WISHES

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
l am eighteen years old. and
recently I met a man at a dance
who l think cares for me very
much. My mother objected to my
going with him without giving
me her reason
Kindly advise me what to do, as
love him very much. B. l. K

year What do you think ought
10 do? WIDOW.
~ o you are a widow with two chill
dren, and you are thinking OF
marrying man just to be sup
ported-what ought you TO do?
You ought to be ashamed of your
self, for one thing. my good madame.
There is sometimes a vague shadow
of excuse for the silly young girl
who marries man for his money;
she doesn't quite know what she is
doing; but you. you do know and
you're willing to do it, to keep from
going to work. You are young,
strong. healthy-why do you want
some man to work for you? Why
don't you go out to work for yourself
and be independent?
How do YOU know what sort of a
man this stranger would be after you
married him? II you are willing to
take such a risk as that. how about
those little helpless girls OF yours?
THE NEW FATHER
You know what sort of mother
you are; how about this strange man
for father?
Plenty OF money-what does he
mean by that, anyway: plenty for
himself for his own selfish pleasures
and none at all for you and what
your children need. Some men are
like that, you know; what makes you
think this man is different?
SO he won't give you any definite
idea about his business affairs? Well.
perhaps he has no affairs to be definite
about, and then, perhaps. he's dis
gusted with you for showing him so
plainly that you want his money and
don't care particularly about him at
all
WHAT CAN YOU GIVE:
What are you going to give him for
his plenty of money and his good
care?
What do you suppose he wants of
you and your girls? Just some one TO
spend his money for him.? He is
probably perfectly capable of doing
that for himself

Thirtieth Wedding Anniversary

In spite of the -wintry appearance of
the weather, Friday evening, Jan. 81,
1918, many OF the friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Harris gathered at their
home to remind them that they had
been married thirty years and to cele
brate the event. Card playing and
dancing were the amusements of the
evening.
At about 1890 the attention of the
guests was called to the parlor where
Mike Derr, Jr., delivered few words
of appreciation which made favor
able impression on all, and then, in be.
half of the present and absent ones,
presented Mr.. and Mrs. Harris with a
we'll filled purse, which was accepted
with many thanks but much more with
desire that those present should en-.
joy and appreciate the time spent with
them. After this supper was served
from the we'll filled baskets, which the
ladies' had nicely prepared. Immedi-
ately after supper MIR. Williams, of
Wisconsin, sang number of solos,
which wee very much enjoyed by all.
O'Brien Bros, rendered the music to
which the young folks engaged in
dancing until the wee hours of the
morning called one and all to their
separate homes, wishing Mr.. and Mrs.
Harris many more such events.

ly Gripping our educational system,
There is every reason to believe that
our high school enrolment will soor
pass the two hundred mark, having al
ready grown from 81 to l64 in the past
three and one-half years. Our assembly
room will accommodate one hundred
pupils.i Thirty-fve are seated in
another room across the hall. The
rest are Obliged to sit two in-a-seat.
Our laboratory and recitation room
facilities are also inadequate. A
building just twice the size of our pre-.
sent high school building would no
more than meet our present needs and
provide for the future. Unfortunately
our present building cannot be enlarg-
ed without destroying its architectural
beauty. The writer however, would
like to suggest to your consideration
one solution of the difficulty, and that
would be to build another building just
north of the present one and about the
same size and connect the two by q
covered hallway. In the basement of
this building gymnasium should be
provided with locker rooms for both
boys and girls and shower bath or
swimming pool. The ground floor
would be divided up into class-rooms
laboratories. library, game room, etc.
The entire second floor would be given
up to an auditorium or assembly hall.
with stage in one end so that it might
be used as an opera house and a place
for giving school entertain
ments as we'll as an
assembly room for the high school.
The idea wonld be to have this building
become in every way a community CEN
ter. The gymnasium. reading rooms,
and game rooms should be open every
weekday night, part of the time for
girls and part of the time for boys,
with competent adults in charge.
Such building together with
central heating plant for all three
building, could be erected fo- from
forty to fifty thousand dollars. An il

Der of the American School Board
Journal gives pictures and plans for

ing those at Abba, Belle Plaine, Perry,
Brooklyn, Newton and Clermont.
Typical of these is the Abba building,
of which the Journal says: "A glance
at the plans of the new high school at
Abba will demonstrate the desire of
the school authorities to offer a we'll
rounded course Of study. The building
&C accommodates school of four hundred
boys and girls, in which portion of
the student body is preparing for col
lege but in which the majority will
enter Immediately some gainful occupa.
ton. The building is also intended to
be center for community activities
and its auditorium and gymnasium have
been planned with that end in view"
The building at Clermont was the gift
of former governor, William Larrabee,
and suggests what could be done by
public-spirited citizens citizens of
Cresco.
The above suggestions are meant to
get the people of Cresco to thinking
and talking Of the needs of your boys
and girls. The plans and details can
be worked out later. Whether it
would he better to add to our present
plant, or build an entirely new high
school building can be decided later.
Nearly four years of work with your
boys and girls has given me an intense
interest in their welfare and the future
of the little city whose destinies they
are to rule for good or evil. That you
may realize their needs as do and do
your part in helping them to reach the
highest type of manhood and woman
hood is the hope of

An Open Letter.

Just now the city Of Cresco is facing
a crisis. There are indications that
Cresco is on the verge of period Of
growth ard prosperity such as has
never been known in it's history. The
people are awaking to their needs and
their opportunities. Nothing can pre-
vail before an enlightened and deter
mined public sediment. All obstacles
are swept away, all barriers prove to
be but momentary, and before we fair.

co.'s future. There is one question,
however, that should not be overlook
3D. and that is the question: What are
we going to do for our boys and girls?
Just now there is no place for our boys
to go for amusement and recreation
but to pool halls and such places of
doubtful moral influence. Our girls
must live the life of recluse or idly
roam the streets. During that critical
period of their lives, adolescence, alb
solutely nothing, outside of the church
es, is being done by way of help and
encouragement for our boys and girls.
To the truth of this picture of con-
ditions, the:writer feels that all will
agree upon thoughtful reflection. To
the Importance o: providing moral safe
guards for our future citizenship, you
will also agree. The next point is:
Are you willing to do your share
to right this wrong?
Are you ready to sacrifice, if need be,
X little of your own pleasure, that
hundreds Of young but immortal souls
may have chance to take their proper
place in working out the futu' destiny
Of C, CISCO? If so. an opportunity and
responsibility now awaits you.
