APPRECIATES THE SHEAF
AS AGRICULTURAL BOOSTER
Minnesota Red River Valley Develop
ment Association.

Crooksto,n Minn., Nov. Is, 1916.
Mr.. J. P. Mattson,
Editor and Proprietor,
Warren Sheaf,
Warren, Minnesota.
Dear Mr.. Mattson:
I have kept before me the Sheaf's
article on the Argyle Grain and
Stock Show. To an extent because
of the information it gives, but more
largely on account Of the second to
last sentence of your article that
wherein the men at the head Of the
enterprise are given commentator.
Let me assure that your remark in
that direction is appreciable by any
one who had given the amount of
work to the enterprise such as was
the Argyle Grain Show, but it is. re-
gretably true that seldom is recogni-
tion given to such efforts.
Another item that attracted our at
tention was your suggestion that a
name be given to every farm and the
inducement you have offered to your
readers to do so. This Association
would like to see every farmer using
his own stationery and on that sta
tionery appearing the name Of his
farm and the name Of the Farm Club
Of which he is a member.
Yours very truly,
G. H. ZEALAND, &
Secretary

Pretty soon Santa Claus said BILLY

one said he was such smart baby
to know it was meant for him.
Helen let him play with it few
minutes, then as he was determined
to put it in his mouth, she deity slip
ped it out of sight while he was try

found in her bag.
"Why don't you let him have the
doll? He likes it." asked lady who
sat near.
"You may think me over particu-
lar" Helen answered but it seems to
me that playthings are usually hand
led by SO many people in the stores
that they are not very clean things
for baby's mouth and you see he don't
know any better than to want to eat
everything he has in his hands.

the street the other day leading that
big three year old boy of hers and
what do you think? He was actually
sucking a pacifier.'
81 suppose you stopped her right
there and told her what a bad habit
that is, didn't you responded Helen"
for think any one is justified in cal

her neighbor but Helen was so busy
just then rescuing Billy Boy from a
stick of candy which a generous child
had given him that she forgot to
ask how to break Billy of his thumb
sucking habit which she was really
worried about.
mo dear, Billy Boy cannot have
candy until he is big boy" she told
the child. "You see it binders his
digestion.
Billy cried, of course he did, for he
had one taste of the sweet and wanted
more, Just like other babies, but the
little mother was firm and he had to
give up and be satisfied with his play
things.
When it was five o'clock some one
said it was time to go home so it was
not very long until all the little
people and big people were bundled
up. Billy was glad to be put in his
cab and ride along in the cool fresh
air. He was tired and little bit
