During the 1917 session OF the
Michigan legislature. amendments
were secured by the Detroit board
OF education TO both the compulsory
education Law and the employment
permit act. The chief features OF The
laws, as amended. are as follows.
The child labor act now provides
that any child OF the age OF "a years
or over. may be granted n permit 70
work ION Saturdays or other dnys
during the school year. outside OF
school hours or during the estab-
Iished vacation periods" II further
provides, THAT when such permit
is issued during the summer yaca
ton or for working on Saturdays or
other days during the school year,
outside OF school hours no school
record shall be required. II Is fur
Their provided. THAT permits for va
cation periods and Saturdays. etc,
shall not certify that the wages OF
the child are essential 10 the sup
port OF the family"
Perhaps the most important
change in this law was the addition
OF a new clause 10 Sec 10 making
attendance AZ continuation classes
compulsory The clause follows
Section 10 D whenever continu-
alton classes shall be established for
minors under Is years Of age work

meadow lark is one Of the few
birds that will eat the hairy
caterpillar and does not stop at
bugs with a disagreeable odor.
At the time of the year when
insect life is scarce, the meadow
lark turns to seeds of various
kinds for it's food, destroying
them at the most important
time. When its feed is scarce,
it will take up the grain which
has been scattered during har-
vest, which is very useful (es-
pecially rye) to prevent volun-
teer growth. 1t will not touch
the grain under ordinary circum-
stances because when the grain
is growing there are plenty of
insects.
Farmers who are asked to let
sportsmen shoot over their fields,
could better afford to have the
nimrods shoot their young pigs
and turkeys or baby chicks.
They would lose less money than
to exterminate the wild birds
which are so hard to replace.

The man who handles the 10

learns after due experience not
to expect even briefly expressed
thanks from a column Of pleas

surely as cometh the winter that
a single line in which there is an
unintentional misrepresentation
will cause some one to be heard
as if from a house top. And he
may add that when he has made
pleasant mention 999 times of
some person, place or thing, but
on the thousandth fails to do so,
he must not expect to be forgiv-

FARM LIVING COSTS ARE
S162 A YEAR.

At a cost of 6.8 cents for each
meal, Minnesota farmers have
beaten away from the door the
high cost of living for the last
ten years. The weapon they
have used has been the direct
use of products grown on the
farm, which resulted in selling
directly from producer to con-
sumer, and in cuttinng off all
profits of middlemen. Under this
arrangement, the cost of living
for each person in the average
Minnesota farm family amount
ed to $162.12 a year from 1905
to 1912. These are the figures

store that he drew the trade
from the Anstin territory, be-
cause ne advertised and sent his
advertising matter into that vi
cinity. Not only this but the mail
order custom from that part of
the county was entirely eradi-
Gated. The speaker told his audi
ence that during the time of
year that business was good ad-
vertising was an opportunity,
and that when business was dull
it was a necessity.
That portion of Mr.. MacIn-
tyres speech, which dealt with
"Sa,esmanship," was filled with
much useful advice to the pro-
prietors of store as well as the
clerks employed therein. Coop
Grafton between proprietor and
clerks was made out as one of.
the principal adjuncts OF sue
cess of any mercantile institu-
ton. He would have the clerks
right up on their tiptoes all the
time and working for the best
interests of the store within
which they were employed. He
explained that the Clerks in the
stores in cities the size of New
Ulm and even larger had many
privileges which were not en-
ioyed by those in large depart
ment stores of the land.
Mr.. MacIntyre has been thru
the mill, both from a merchan-
dising and from an advertising
standpoint. He is thoroughly
acquainted with the game from
all it's angles and his address on
"Salesmanship and Advertising"
was most lucid and instructive

SILVER CLEANED BY BOIL
ING 1T.

An easy and effective method
of cleaning tarnished silverware,
by boiling in a soda and salt
solution in contact with a clean
piece of aluminium or zinc, is
recommended to housewives by
the United States department of
agriculture. The necessary ma
terials are a graniteware cook
ing utensIl deep enough to al
low the silverware to be covered
by the solution; a clean piece OF
aluminium or zinc, preferably the
former; and baking or washing
soda. The solution, consisting
of a teaspoonful of baking or
washing soda and like amount
of table salt to each quart of
water, is brought to a boil in a
graniteware of enameled utensil.
A sheet of aluminium or clean
zinc is dropped in. The tarnlshed
silverware is then immersed in
the solution so that it is in con-
tact with the sheet of alumni
mum or zinc. The tarnish should
disappear in few seconds. The
silver object should then be re
moved from the solution, rinsed,
and dried with a soft cloth.

ORCHARD MAY BE PRUNED
IN WINTER.

Fruit growers do not need to
wait until spring to prune their
orchards, says w. G. ,Brierley of
the division of horticulture at
University farm. Results at
University farm show little or
no difference in the growth and
maturity of the wood where
pruning has been done any time
between November and May.
If the usual care is taken to
make the cuts close to the main
trunk or branches no stubs will
be left to die and decay, though
the covering of wounds with a
white lead and oil paint or with
common grating wax warmed
to the consistency of cold mo-
lasses will give added protec-
tion.
Moderate pruning is better
than heavy cutting.
