for it."
We found Mrs Livingston at home, and we
followed her up three flights of stairs, and then
up a ladder and through a scuttle on to long,
narrow roof, fifty feet long by twenty feet
wide, to be exact
1t looked an absolutely hopeless proposition
to me, long, narrow stretch of roof covered
with tiny pebbles barren and glazing IN the
May sunshine.
I could see that Mrs. Livingston didn't grasp
its possibilities any more than did, and I'll
wager that as she looked out on this barren
waste she was contrasting it with the cosey log
cabin in the midst of the Adirondack woods
No wonder she looked unhappy.
Not so Letita! She wandered over tie slip
merry mobiles with a notebook in her hand and
a Mona Lisa smile on her little round face.

First of all we interviewed a carpenter who
contracted to lay floor over the pebbles. This
was to be made by laying three-inch strips OF
wood on rows of two-by -four-inch sleepers. We
next had high lattice built around three sides
and a portion of the fourth side Of the roof.
This was painted bluish-green. A long, blue
green box, eighteen inches Wide and twelve
inches deep and filled with rich earth, was
placed in front of these trellses.

OF mothers keep this harmless fruit

of bills of local interest only, have

MunIeIpaIIzIng a Band

For some time past, the citizens
of Grand Forks have been giving
considerable thought to the i'm
provement of musical affairs in
their city. 1t was deemed advis-
able that an artistic taste for music
be cultivated, and in order to add
to the musical advantages, the sug
gestion was made that instruction
in band and orchestral music be
had in public and high schools. The
additional suggestion was made
that in order to interest the boys
in the school and benefit the adults
at large. who are interested in band
music. that committee be named to
have same in charge. This COM
mittee, consisted Of member of
the City Council, the Park Board.
and the Board Of Education and
two from the Commercial Club.
Plans formed by this committee ar.
under way at the present time.
which ii is hoped, will systematic,
the band work of the city and place
it on a municipal basis.
The plan in general contcmpIat
es the employment of a competent
instructor and director in band
music in the city schools who will
also be in charge of the municipal
band. This instruction will nat
urally become part Of the rcg,l.
lar school curriculum. The boys
from the school. as they become pro
ficient. will take their places as
regular players i'm the adult band.
This will insure placing emphasis
upon the artistic rather than the
commercial side of band music in
the city and is a movement which
is growing in favor throughout the
country.

Stock Prices to Remain Hluh

TheSannouncement by Food Adj
ministratOr Hoover that cattle and
hog prices will not be reduced by
order of the board is of decided in
terest to the farmers of the north
west. Mr.. Hoover says in his brief
statement that the Government re-
cognizes the Importance of increas-
ing the production of meats of all
kinds, and that this can be brought
about only by conditions which will
make the raising of meat animals
profitable to the producer. There
will be not attempt on the part of
the Government to reduce the
prices of meat animals, and pro.
ducers may proceed to secure in
the knowledge that their efforts
will be rewarded by good prices for
some time in the future. The
one line i'll which results can most
quickly be reached is in the produc
ton of hogs, and it is to the in
terest of the whole state that the
fullest possible attention be given
now to his feaure.

Wahpeton to Have New HospItaI

The Lutheran Deconess Hospital
Corporation of Wahpeton finds il
a necessity to extend its capacity
of the Hospital due to the stead,
growth of business. For this rea.
son the capital stock will be in
creased to $100.0OO.OO. The board
has entered into contract with Mr..
F.. L. Russell & Co., of Mime
apolis, Mimi, to solicit the sale OF
stock to the amount necessary for
the planned addition and equip
ment, which amount is estimated at
at about the amount above stated.
The addition is to be in size about
4Oxs0 feet, two story and full base
ment. The building and equipment
is to be modern in every respect.
Believing it appropriate for our
city and community to have a first
class hospital. and the board feel
ing warranted in the undertaking
we hope. the citizens Of Wahpe-
ton and vicinity may understand
that real modern hospital is such
needed and in demand. that it will
be of much interest and great con-
venience. That all those who are
stockholders, may become still
more Interested, and all not con-
nected as such, will prove them
selves favorable when being ap-
preached by the solicitors OH stock
subscription, thereby also showing
their loyalty as citizens not to the
hospital commodities only, but to
improve the city Of Wahpeton as
well. From a commercial business
standpoint the improved institution
will be another addition to Wahpe-
ton of much Importance.
Respectfully,
