Queer Little Pets.

BY Margaret Jamison, Aged 10 Years,
Glenwood, Ia. Blue Side.
One day my uncle, who lives on a farm,
went down to the creek that flows
through his land to set the traps he had
along the banks. While he was going
along, feeling for his traps, he heard a
faint squeak and, looking around, he
found three tiny baby animals. He took
them home and cared for them and he
made a pen with a little box covered with
straw almost exactly like their home in
side. Then he put a tank of water in
the pen where they could swim when
they pleased. They were great pets and
were also very useful. Several hours
before a storm approached they would
carry a large supply of food into the
box and then they would all go inside,
stuff the entries full Of straw and re-
main that way until the storm was over.
Three days before the Easter cyclone
the little animals went to work and my
uncle, who also has a drug store In
town, kept posters up of what the little
pets were doing and many people fol-
lowed their example and watched for
the storm. 1 was very sorry when my
uncle gave them their freedom, because
they were such dear pets. Can you guess
what those queer little pets were? They
were three muskrats. One returned, but
he was lonesome and soon went back to
his companions at the creek.

Frolictown Fair.

BY Edith Kenyon, 1929 Cunning Street,
Omaha. Blue Side.
Let's play we are going to Frolictown,
Fair" said Lottie, ''and take Pussiwink
and Dolly, and give them a ride on the
merry-go-round."
That will be great" said Agnes.
''Pussiwink swallowed a fishbone and he
hasn't smiled once. think it may cheer
him up a little. We will play Betty is
nurse, for Pussiwlnks Is very troublesome,
especially when he sees a dog"
Frolictown fair was on the front
porch 1t was fitted up with toys and
a table of refreshments. They wanted to
take a long journey, so they went through
the garden and stopped at Hollyhock
park to rest. And what do you think
happened to Frolictown Iair7
Pussiwink caught the gray velvet
mouse in a second, and when he found II
was not alive he was so disappointed
that he boxed the ears of the calico
bunny, knocked down a row of tin po-
licemen and put his teeth into the pinl
rubber peg, which was so scared tha
its breath went out in a minute, and
nothing was left but its rubber skin.
l boxed Pussiwink's ear and sent him
home with the nurse, but the fair was
fine. Tin policemen stood on every cor.
ner, a regiment of tin soldiers guarded
the grounds and Mr. and Mrs. Noah
stood on the deck of the ark, and all OF
Mr.. Noah's animals were there. There
was no merry-go-round, and Asnes was
glad, for Pussiwink might have done
some great mischief that would have
broken up the fair entirely.
I'VE had splendid luncheon" said
Agnes, which was not make believe. We
had berries and oranges, doughnuts anc
a gingerbread man.
Pussiwink was very much ashamed Of
his conduct and seemed to be sorry HI
did not know that he was doing any
thing wrong. He rubbed his sides agains
me and said, 'Me-e-ow."

More About Twilight Sleep.

In the January Woman's Home
Companion appears an article entitled
Is the Twilight Sleep Safe for me?"
The article is authoritative, having
been read and approved by one of
New York's Well-knoWn obstetrical
specialists. Following is an extract:
In the cases of the very young,
the paratively old, the Gebilitat
ed, and those suffering from serious
diseases, like kidney disease, this
treatment is emphatically inadvis-
able. Doctor Gauss reports that, at
Freiburg, only 10 per cent of the ap-
pllcants are accepted for the treat
ment. OF this 20 per cent, so per
cent of the cases respond satisfac-
torily, giving a result of 56 per cent
successes. In the hospitals in this
country now using the treatment the
cases are SO carefully selected that
III only about one quarter of the con-
finements is the Twilight Sleep en-
ployed. Another reason, of course,
for this small proportion is the fact
that the patients entering the wards
of hospital often come in too far
advanced in labor to permit Of this
relief.
1t may be true, of course, that as
the details of the treatment are
more scientifically known and more
thoroughly mastered, Twilight Sleep
may be used in many more cases
and in a greater variety OF types.
There may be other subtle details,
like the controlling of noise and
light, yet tes be more fully adapted.
The significant, supremely encourag-
ing fact is the perfect working of
the treatment in the cases where it
is suitable.
With this question of limited
ton: In order to determine wheth-
er or not the Twilight Sleep will be
of use in a particular case, a Wo-
man should always have the opinion
of an expert. AS a corollary to this
preliminary Judgment by an expert
stands the fact that, when the treat
ment is administered, it should be
given by trained obstetrieian.
There will be charlatans who will
take every possible advantage OF
this new path to fortune, and there
will be the type Of physician who,
when the patient insists upon having
the Twilight Sleep, will administer
at with insufficient knowledge.
Obstetrical experts are right when
they maintain that it takes a great
deal of time and experience to learn
how scientifically to administer the
Twilight Sleep. 1t entails a precise
knowledge Of the nature and results
of the drugs, scopolamin and mar
|cophen, aed a nice observation OF
the symptoms of the mother-to-be.

Parcel Post Market for Eggs.

There are in our cities and towns
many housewives who would be glad
to make arrangements for receiving
a supply Of fresh eggs direct from
the farm throughout the year. Just
at this time, when eggs are scarce
and the demand far exceeds the sup
ply of newly laid eggs, there is a
good opportunity for the farmer, even
though he has but few eggs to mar
ket, to make contract with some
city or town family to supply them
with aggs. The farmers supply at
the present time will not be great
enough, possibly, to satisfy the de-
mand OF the city family, but if the
matter IS explained it will be easy
to make arrangements to market
eggs by parcel post now and contin,
ue to do SO Throughout the year. In
other words, it will be much easier
to make arrangements to ship eggs
now, when everybody wants them,
than to do so in the spring, when
they are in abundant suppl and
when the housewife can secure good,
fresh eggs in The market anywhere
at a nominal priee. A satisfied Win
ter customer can be made a profit

Need Of Team Work in Community.
No other power can accomplish
so much for all parties concerned as
hearty cooperation. or as has been
correctly termed team work. = The
progress and welfare of any CON-
munity depends upon this. To get
the best results in building up your
home town, your parish and state,
you must have cooperation and
team work. This is the reason that
a number of progressive A1exandri-
ans have banded themselves togeth-
er in an organization known as the
chamber of commerce. 1t is the
work of the chamber of commerce
Of a town to look after everything
that will rebound to the best inter-
ests of the town.
What is everybody's business Is
nobody's,' is very correctly said. So,
therefore, progress and growth can
not be brought about by the citizens
single handed-eyery one working
in his own way for this end. 1t must
be done by organization and coop
Grafton. How can this be done If
the commercial organization is not
supported? It. is impossible.
This article is not inspired by the
idea that Alexandrians do not ap-
preeiate their commercial organiza-
tion. They do appreciate it, and
have given it hearty approval in the
past. The president of the organiza-
tion stated at the recent tget-to-
gether'' meeting that he had been
greatly pleased at the hearty re-
sponse that has been given to all
calls made by him as head of the or
ganIzation. What we want is an en-
iarged cooperation. We want every
merchant, business man, profession
al man and workman in the city to
enroll his name in the chamber of
commerce. Do this, and let US go.
