SHE SPOILED HER DAUGH-
TER IN THE, RAISING

Somewhere in the suburbs of
New York live a man and wife,
happily married, with one child.
The husband has a job that
brings a fairly good income and
the wife keeps the house and
takes care of the baby. Both are
we'll bred. He was a Southern
gentlemen; she is the daughter
of well-to-do parents, went to
boarding school, is handsome and
accomplished. She learned every
thing a girl should know but the
one essential thing, how to make
a home. Her mother had her
maid. The daughters clothes
were always ready and her mend
ing done. Her youthful years
were spent in having a good time
and learning the art of being a
lady.
She married. Now she must run
a home. She doesn't know how.
Her husband gives her $125 a
month for the house. Because
she never learned to cook and
can't afford a cook, they must
take their dinners out. There
fore Mr.. Husband comes home,
takes care of the baby while Mrs.

DIAMOND TO BE BUILT IN
FRONT OF GRANDSTAND
AT MINI. STATE FAIR

Grandstand patrons at the Min
nesota State Fair, Sept. A to 8,
will find base ball added to the
big open air program. Although
it will have to compete with three
stages of vaudeville, horse rae
ing, auto racing, motorcycle rae
ing, and other features, it. is be-
lieved that the great national
game will have no trouble in TAX
ing care of itself.
A diamond is to be constructed
inside of the half-mile race track,
in front of the west bleachers,
and adjoining the evening fire
works spectacle, The Destruction
of Pompeii. There is plenty of
room there for large diamond.
The ground is so level that little
work will be necessary to put the
diamond in shape. 1t is to be SC
placed that grandstand visitors
will have no difficulty in follow
ing each game.

Don't spoil your daughter in

Had this wife been brought up
to be a woman instead of just a

dollars they spend every month
for boarding house dinners and
get two meals a day for two that
would make the boarding house
dinners look like ten cent lunch.
But she doesn't know how. She
doesn't study her job. She can't

PICNIC

The midsummer picnic held at
the park Sunday and given under
the auspices Of the local Danish
Brotherhood lodge was largely
attended and enjoyed by the
Brothers. their wives, children
and friends who were present.
The parade, consisting of mem
bers of the lodge, headed by As
kov Band, formed at the town
hall and marched around q few
blocks before entering the park.
Shortly after this Il. A. f. Laage
ascended the speakers stand and
thanked "Dansk Folkesamfund"
for the use of the park. in a
few we'll chosen words he paid a
tribute to President Wilson for
having kept us out OF war thus
far. He then introduced the
speaker of the day, G. Nielsen of
Minneapolis, who is one Of the
supreme officers of the Danish
Brotherhood lodge. Mr.. Nielsen
gave a brief history of the socie-
ty. He said that it now has
1000 members and 300 lodges
scattered about the land. He
urged the organization of a local
Danish Sisterhood lodge. Mr..
Nielsen did not speak long as he
is a fieshy man and it was a real
hot day. 1t was almost q torture
to him.
The tug of war then took
place, which was contest be-
tween six members of the ID. b..
S. lodge and six non members!
The d. B. S. team won out. Ole
Keller pulled till his eye lashes
just quivered.
Races were the next event, a
Simonsgaard boy and Tn. Clau-
sen winning the boys races.
Helge Kilstofte won the young
mems race and Knud Plesner the
married mems race. Thora
Heininge and Ruth Kilstofte
proved superior in the girls
races and Mrs. Emil Andersen
was too fast for the balance of
the married women. In the tar
get shooting Marius Hansen won
first and third prizes while Ern-
est Clegg copped off second
prize.
After the races a well acted
pantomime play was put on. The
actors were Miss Clara Nielsen,
r. Nortvig, Peter Hermansen
and Konrad Christensen.
Coffee was then served and in
the evening bowery dance was
enjoyed which ended the days
festivities.
Aside from having a good time
the Danish Brotherhood realized
sum of s25.13 from the picnic.

full on Nancys face. How sweet it
looks in the depths Of that lovely Eas-

low, serious voice. Presently Nance
drops her head, bonnet and all, on Rob-

Roberts head disappears in the depths
of the Easter bonnet. We rush from
