Charley Sheppard has to laugh al
himself when he relates some of his
experiences in California this winter.
The weather was unusually cold, even
for California and Charley says he
could not get acclimated to house
without any heat. At night he says
he would slip his green sweater over
lis pink pajamas and sleep very COM
fortably, provided he put an upholster-
ed chair up-side-down on his feet.
Charley says everybody assured him
that the weather was very unusual
there this winter. but some how or 9th.
er their assurances would not keep
his feet warm

LOCAL DASHES.

d. X. Unsfcker, of Wright, has had
a lot of fun as well as good results
from little advertisement which he
inserted in the Herald some weeks
ago. The advertisement read:
"Wanted-Married man to work
on farm, No P9eze fighter or fish
erman wanted. The more: child
rem, the higher the wages ~
Mr. Unsicker says he had eighteen
applications and secured a good fam
lily. Some of the applications came
from outside states, including, Indiana.
Illinois, Kansas and Oklahoma. The
Iadyertiseent touched the funny bone
of photographers on several metropo.
Titan papers, and it was commented
on by the Kansas City Star the Mil
waukee Seminal and the New York
Sun.
Albert E. Brown. of Syracuse, New
York. member of the Executive Com
mittee of the Farmers National Con
urer, writes Mr.. Unsicker date of May
,aS follows:
1T pays to advertise. The en-
closed clipping is taken from the
Things that Happen column Of the
Syracuse Journal of this date. 1t
is headed An Iowa Farmers Plat
FORM"
Mr.. Unsicker also relates that among
the eighteen applicants, one was a
woman. She called Mr.. Unsicker over
the phone and told him what good
worker her husband was, adding that
he never went fishing and never in
dulged in the weakness often attri-
buted to fishermen.
Among other questions Mr.. Unsicker
asked how many children there were
in the family.
Five" replied the woman.
Nothing doing" said Mr.. Unsicker.
~ would not have family with less
than ten children"
ooh my God!" came the rejoiner
over the telephone. and MIR. Unsicker
says he has never learned whether she
hung the receiver up in disgust, or
tainted.

WHERE is THE BOY?

ONE of the biggest problems that confronts the
fathers and mothers of young growing sons,
and daughters too, to some extent is to find some
thing pleasurable and useful for them to do, that
will hold their interest and keep their minds off
things of pernicious nature There was never
truer sentence coined than the one, can idle
brain is the DEVILS workshop" And while it is
comparatively easy to find work for the children
to do, such as wedding cleaning up premises, etc,
this class of work is usually distasteful to them,
and unless you can actually be with the boys and
girls to encourage them, they soon tire, and are
upon the streets or in other places where they
brought in contact with evil influences and are
very apt to be led into "by and forbidden paths"
We hear a lot about the evils of "child labor "
and of course under the conditions prevailing in
some of the large cities, it is very Objectionable
and wrong, but if there was some sort of work
available here for children from 10 years to 16,
under sanitary and moral surroundings, it would
be Godsend to many of the children as well as
to their parents and the utilization of this wasted
labor would be along the lines of conservation of
which we hear great deal these days
The work of the Boys and Girls clubs is doing
lot of good in this direction but it does not reach
nearly all of the young people, because some of
the parents have no farming land for them, and
some of the children do not take kindly to farm
work.
The employment of these children in some use
full, moral and at the same time pleasurable man.
is of the biggest problems that parents are
confronted with.

AUTO CAMPAIGN EXTENDED

TT is reported by the Primary officers interested
in the automobile campaign that great many
of the people throughout the county are willing
and anxious to assist them in securing the car but
that just at the present time they are "broke;"
or in other words, are without money. 1t is just
little too early for farmers to have anything to
market, and it keeps the most of them busy to
tide expenses over until harvest time.
For this reason, it will be necessary to extend
the time for the campaign somewhat, and it may
be some time in October before the canvass for
subscriptions closes. At the same time this should
not be taken as a suggestion for those who are
able to pay now to put the matter off until the
last possible minute, for by so doing you may be
the unwilling cause of discouraging the workers
and making failure of the campaign.
You will all agree that the Stake Primary AS
ISOLATION needs a car to get about the stake with,
and if each one will do small part for them, the
car will easily be obtained and soon be in use.
Besides this, you will get full value for the
money advanced in the subscription to this paper,
which is one of the largest and most progressive
papers in this part of the state and will keep you
posted on the things of most Importance to you.
Subscriptions received through the mails will
be accounted for to the Association, whether you
specifically mention it not, and will count to-
wards the purchase of the car just the same as if
they were personally solicited by the workers in
the association.
