CIVIC CLUB.

The ladies of the Civic club wish to
announce to the general public that q
new assignment of books from the state
free travelling library will arrive soon.
These books may be borrowed from
the rest noom under the customary Ii
brary rules. The ladies wish to ex-
press their pleasure at the evident ap-
probation OF their efforts to place this
collection of books before the people.
Especially have the country people APP
peared to enjoy this new addition to
the room. The club is planning nu-
merous improvements for the rest
room. but at present the finances Of
the organization have been closely
drawn upon and scarcely meet the
monthly expenses Of rent, incidental ex-
penditures and caretaker. Monthly con-
tributdons are given by a number of
the business houses for the purpose of
keeping up this room but at present
the amount received does not quite bal
ance the necessary bills. The club
women are discussing plans for raising
funds to meet this deficiency and al
so to further civic improvements. They
would gladly welcome any suggestions
from the country ladies or any other
Interested persons outside the club as
to how this could best be done.

DENNIsoN AND MeoAFFEv HELD

At the preliminary hearing of George
Dennison and Clark 'McGaffey, charged
with attempting to forcibdy take pos
session Of property belonging to Hen
ry Soard. which was held last Friday
at Whitebird, Justice Hess considered
the evidence sufficiently convincing to
justify binding the two defendants
over to the district court The testi-
mony brought out tended to show that
the two young men went to the home
OF Soard with the purpose of getting
revolver which he had and which they
contended did not belong to him, but
to one of them or some friend. The
visit brought on a heated controversy
which finally resulted In Soard firing
several shots through the door at the
visitors, one OF which took effect In
the upper part of McGaffey's arm. The
bond Of the young men was fixed at
$500. which was readily furnished, and
they are now at liberty.

TN our many discussions of meat and
meat prices, we hear little mention
of the large group Of meats either
fresh or smoked which come under
the head of sausage. Yet the consump-
tion of these products runs up into the
millions of pounds annually. and is af-
fected quite directly by the prices of
other meats.
Perhaps It is because our domestic
sausage is not of as high quality as the
imported article that we as n nation eat
less of 1t than Is consumed by residents
of other countries, notably Italy. Ger
many and France, and II is from these
countries that the bulk of our sausage
supply comes. However, sausage is
worthy of dignified consideration in our
diet, especially in cold weather.

to be a chopped mixture of meat. or

Many housekeepers have a reasonable
fear of sausage meat, and it is true that
formerly, and even now, in the lower
grades, a good deal of adulteration is
practced by adding flour, rice, corn

-HE term "medicine- man" is

the reader might be led to
believe that a medicine e-man

This is quite wrong, for not only
are they ignorant of medicine, but
as likely as not the medicine man

Power of concentration on the part
Of the child Is the single objection,
were there no other, that justifies the
demand for vocational training,
Lack OF this ability Is becoming more
and more evident in grammar and high
school graduates. More and more en-
phatically employers complain thereof.

struggle in life-that for existence. 1t

Power of Concentration.
Anyone can make himself able to do
almost anything for which he has an
inclination If he can hold his mental
and physical powers to the task in
tently enough for a sufficient space OF
time. That is. If person has gained
the ability to concentrate his mental
and physical powers upon the subject
or object of his will he is able to
master it. Therefore training in con.
centration should begin early
This training, which Is one of the
most important phases Of education, If
not the most important, should never be
entrusted to young teachers, with little
experience. The services of the most
thoroughly trained child psychologist
possible to obtain should not he held
too costly, or too good. for our very
young children.

concentration is used. In Sweden. boys
and girls are taught at kindergarten to
whittle their playthings out of pieces of
woods, and it has been found TO be
very valuable means for training them
in concentration. Given a knife and a
piece of wood. the child finds his fingers
bleeding unless he pays close attention
to every movement he makes with his
mind on his work. Scars and scratches
and wrapped up fingers are not uncom-
mon among the members of a small tots
whiting class. but no serious harm Is
done, and 1t does not require very long
time for the average child to learn not
to cut his fingers.
Value of whiting.
In American kindergartens clay or
wax modelling is used as a means to de-
velop the chld's sense of form. Care

astrous. A dent made in the wrong
place on clay dog Is easily remedied
by pressing in an extra lump or ether

But careless cut in the neck Of q pear-
ly finished wood horse might ruin 1t
forever. so the boy Is mighty careful
of how he does his chipping.
For this reason whiting affords bet
ter training in INSTRUMENTATION, than
does clay modelling, and it also imnlants
the habit of planning the processes of

necessary for the child to keep the pow
ers of his mind and hands together in
performing the work, and thus, as a
means of correlating his faculties, it is
a very valuable factor in his early train
ing.
The interest in work and the anticipa-
ton of the JOY in the finished horse
make a little boy willing to work dill
gently while his sense OF form gains
fully. as much in this activity as by clay
modelling.
