Quaint Lithuanian Customs.

No country in Europe, it is said, has
so faithfully chung to the remnants Of
an old culture, which is manifested
everywhere in it's daily routine, as
Lithuania. Primitive steam bath estab-
lishments, in which the whole family
took the weekly bath, are still believed
necessities, and no home can be found
that does not reverence its 'namas,"
the hearth. The Lithuanians were
originally fire-worshipers, and it is be-
lieved the hearth was the place at
which the sacred rites Of the old cult
were observed. Each farm is an in
dependent kingdom. and the 'klete,"
10 which harvests and tools are stored,
Is still preserved. The spinning room,
in which flax. linen and wool are made
Into cloth for the entire household.
has also been maintained.

Eternal Leap Years.

There exists at least one place In
the world where men consider 1t below
their dignity to notice women at all.
much less to make OvertllreS Of mar
rage Consequently the proposing Is
left to the women. When New Guinea
woman falls in love with man she
sends piece of string to his sister.
or, if he has no sister, to his mother
or another of his lady relatives. Then
the lady who receives the string tells
the favored man that the particular
woman is in love with him. No court
ing follows, however, for 1t is conSid-
cred beneath a New Guinea mans dig
nifty to waste time in such pursuit.
If man thinks he would like to wed
the lady, he meets her alone, and they
decide whether to marry or drop the
idea.

Essay on a Cow.

A little boy wrote an essay about
cows and read it in the Connecticut
school society. The essay reads al
follows: "a COW is an animal with
four legs on the under side. The tail
is no longer than the legs but is not
used to stand on. The COW kills flies
with her tail. A COW has big ears that
wiggle on hinges, so does her tail. A
COW is bigger than a calf but not as
big as an elephant. She is made small
so she can go in a barn when no one
is looking. Some cows are black and
some can hook. A dog got hooked.
She tossed the dog that worried the
cat that caught the rat that lived in
the house that Jack built. Black COWS
give white milk; so do other COWS.
Milklnen sell milk to buy little girls
dresses which they put water in and
chalk. Cows chew cuds and each COW
furnishes her own chew. That is all
there is about cows"

WILLMAR SCHOOL NOTES
(Items Intended for Last Week.

A number of inquiries have been
made by parents as to the age at
which children are permitted to enter
school. The ruling in effect in Will
mar for a number of years is that
children who become six by the
LIST of January will be admitted. 1t
is difficult to make exceptions to this
rule and particularly so now when
the school system is so crowded.
One of the fine things about the
Garfield, Lincoln and Lafayette schools
is the roomy playground that has been
provided. If funds could be obtained
to purchase more playground equip
ment it would add greatly to the
pleasure and the benefit the children
get from their outdoor play. The swings
in use at the Lincoln school are nearly
worn out and new ones will be INSTALL
ed.
Herbert Hengstler and Walter De
LaHunt visited the manual training
department on Monday. Mr.. Hengst-
Ter, who has recently returned from
overseas service, is greatly interest
ed in the foot ball situation in the
high school and came up to see what
are the prospects for a good team.
Mr.. DeLaHunt is teacher of manual
training at Cakes, N. Oak. We are al
ways glad to have visitors come to see
US.
Temporary heating equipment is
being installed at the central buildings
to keep the students warm on cold
days until the central heating plant
can be installed. The latter will not
be ready for use for several weeks yet.
The walls of the new building are
climbing upward every day and have
now reached the level of the second
story. Progress is being delayed to
some extent owing to the continued
difficulty of getting building materials
The enormous steel beams over the
gymnasium are in place and both boys
and girls are hoping that the gymna
SUM can be finished by the first OF
the year so that they will have some
place in which to play basketball.
The enrolment in the high school
has increased to 1853. The enrolment
in the different high school subjects
is as follows: Physics 6, Chemistry
AZ, plane geometry IS, general science
II, Latin 1853, Caesar "a, Cicero 9
higher algebra 80, elementary algebra

Why Play the Fool?

There's no advantage in playing the
fool. You may kick against custom
IL you will, but what gain is there
in it? After all the world wants re.
suits. It's willing to pay the man who
supplies it with what it wants. To act
a part, or to claim what Is truly yours
may bring temporary success, but the
deceit is paying too much for the whts-
tie, Reactions always follow trick
cry and Dragging. If you're really
smart you won't have to stoop to de-
ception to get ahead. You will respect
yourself and other folk by acting as
If everybody had a reasonable supply
of brains. That will keep you from
doing foolish things and expecting ex
oneratlon because It's you. And the
sooner you learn to. do your part the
less you will have to pay. == .
