In making children's clothes, sheer
underwear, or lingerie waists neat
seam can be turned by putting them
thru the smallest hemmer on the
sewing machine.
Telephone tablets or pads may be
bought ready to cover at any station
AIRY store. The covers may be made
of cardboard, covered with cretonne,
Or just flap OF some pretty coIored
mounting board. A silk cord is used
to hang the tablet By the telephone,
end should, of course, have pencil
attached.
For many uses in fine needlework
the best scissors are not embroidery
scissors at ell. but long. slender ones;
with curving ends. With them one
can cut smoothly the fine threads
and yet run no risk of going beyond
a certain line of threads and running
a bit of work on which you have put
hours of careful attention, while for
cutting the linon away from worked
scallops there is nothing equal to
them. Oddly enough. the proper way
to use them is with the outer curve
toward the embroidery. not with the
curve following that Of the scaliop
The latter is far too much of risk,
as the keen little tips will easily cut
further than one expects.

Copper articles that have become
discolored can be made to look new
again by rubbing them with lemon
dipped in salt and afterward rinsinE
in clear hot water and polishing with
q soft cloth.
Aluminium cooking utensils are a
delight until they turn dark inside
then they are an abomination. 1t Is
easy, however, to keep them bright.
Either wash them in soda and water
or boil tomato parings in them; cut.
tings from rhubarb and the water it
was washed in alone will often do
the work. So will lemon and table
salt.
All the little dried pieces OF cheese
should be grated and put in covered
glass jar. These cheese crumbs are
excellent for many made over dishes
and are particularly good with starchy
foods, such as potatoes, macaroni, etc.
Very tasty crackers can be made by
spreading this grated cheese on
crackers seasoning them and then
putting them in the oven for few
minutes.

Instances the fault lies not altogether
with the wife, but with the husband
himself, who Is also the first to de-
rlore any such deterioration. II he
would look to himself before blaming
his wife, he would probably find that
ne had ceased to pay her the little
attentions of which he was so lavish
before marriage, that he gave to bus
mess the time he used to spend So
pleasantly in her company, and that
he was growing penurious, fond Of
exhorting her to be economical, and
in many ways making things harder
than need be for his wife. 1t Is no
wonder that, the life of many married
women becomes sordid and miserable
under such circumstances, and that
instead Of being ennobled and
strengthened with each passing year
by their mutual love, husband and
wife drift ever farther apart until
they regard each other with indiffer-
ence, il not with dislike.

SENATE COMMITTEE REPORTS
ON BOLSHEVISM

What "Bolshevism" is in Russia,
and what II would do IL applied in tho
United States, was told at great length
in the report of the judiciary Com
mittee of the United states Senate.
The committee, gives picture Of
what these wild theories would mean
IL applied in the United States. as
large numbers of misguided people
are trying to have them applied w."
consequences are given in condensed
form here.
Force and violence. the shedding of
blood. the destruction of life and prop
erty: "and all this to DESTROY demo
cratic form of government under
which the majority can secure just
the kind of government it desires"
TO advocate revolutionaI methods.
therefore, is an admission that mi
nority and not majority rule is what
is desired.
The minority to dictate to the ma
jority. Millions of substantial. pa
triotic citizens to be disfranchised be-
cause they would fall i'm the so-called
''bOurgeOs' or "capitalistic class"
This would include millions of farm
ers merchants, manufacturers. all
who employ others in their business;
all professional and business men who
utilize the. services of n clerk or ste
1Ographer All persons receiving ill.,
terest or income ON money lent or
invested or rents or profits or divi-
dends. All merchants. traders and
peddlers. even IL they do not employ
any help: all preachers and priests: :
all janitors or other employees Of
churches. The contiscation of church
es The conhscation of more than
5000. 900 farms. G2 per cent Of which
are owned by the farmers who till
them The confiscat tion of 40 billion
dollars worth of farm animals and
machinery.
There is In the report much more
which ought to be understood by all
who feel inclined in the smallest de-
gree to sympatliize with these wild
revolutionary theorists. whose success
would mean utter disaster to the Unit
cd States and it's people, to all that
the American flag stands for, and to
civilization itself.

EUROPEAN CORN BORER STRIKES

The farmers life sometimes seems
to be just one insect pest after an
other Just about the time he has
learned how to combat all the insect
pests in the United States and leans
back to take things easy for spell,
somebody manages to import a few
new varieties of crop trouble from for

pean corn borer that Is going to cause
the farmer to lose sleep.
The European corn borer probably
is the most injurious insect pest that
has yet been introduced into this
country. according to entomologists of

Is known to exist in an area of 500
square miles in Massachusetts and
400 square miles in New York. Its
rapid spread to the entire country is

Some Of the borers leave the stalk
and enter the ears through the husk
and also through the stem and cob.
Here they feed upon the immature
grain and tunnel the cob. The injury
TO the ears and stalks is further in
creased by a soft rot which often fol-
lows the work of the borers and re-
duces the interior of infested plants
to decaying. putrid mass with an
obnoxious OdOr.

The Origin Of Yankee.

Host people, II they were asked to
give the. derivation of the word
Yankee would say that 1t comes
from the Red Indians mispronuncia-
ton of English. And to the best OF
my belief they would be right. But
was interested to read recently In
an American paper a proud claim
that however 1t may be with the
plain Yankee, the immortal song of
Yankee Doodle gets its name direct
from the land of Omar Khayyam.
The Persian phrase for Inhabitants
of the New World is, in fact. Yanki-
Dooniah, which Is near enough for
all practical purposes.

President Wilson has issued formal
statement, with the approval of the full

jected coal strike under the present cir
cumstances, mot only unjustifiabIe, but

THE PUBLICITY ON

"
SCHOOL DRIV Es,
With the exception of most of the
western half of the state where snow
compelled temporary postponement
until roads dry out, the first statewide
drive for the betterment of rural school
conditions in South Dakota watched by
other states in the Union, which plan to
follow suit, opened October 9th for a
three weeks intensive campaign that
will thoroughly cover the state Among
the 80 speakers engaged, one-fourth are
representative national leaders from
New England to the inter-mountain re-
gion.
Commenting on the drive, DR.. II. f.
Winship, of Boston, the well known edi,
tor and educator who is taking an active
part in the speaking, said
THE drive is TO be entirely without
appeal to pride or prejudice, and is de-
void of narrowness and proyincialism.
This is not TO be a one track campaign,
and has no single end in view, but is
extension of purpose in intensified
achievement Like the war drives of
the seven great organizations, like the
Young Mems Christian Association, the
Knights of Columbus, and the War Camp
Community Service
All local organizations and many
Chambers of Commerce are active in
the promotion of this drive, which has
for it's supreme purpose, the promotion
of the highest interest of the Commun-
ity preseI. or future, through the vitali-
cation of all school work, high and low,
in city and country. 1t is looking for
ward and not backward; to the decades
to be served by the children of today
to the preparation, today for power to
do tomorrow it makes today, the yes.
terday of tomorrow, instead of the to-
morrow Of yesterday,
A Forward Movement.
For school people, it puts 'go" into
pedagogy for the people as a whole, il
opens the eyes of the blind to the sig
nificance of vitalizing education for the
politicians, it discounts the influence OF
those tho think of the schools of 1890,
while criticizug those of 1919; for par
ents it gives a reason for the hope that
is within them that schools will help
their sons and daughters to live real
life, successfully.
This campaign is under the leadership
Of men and women, who are in the fore
front of educational thought in the Ma
ton, and they will reach every commun-
ity in South Dakota in such way that
all the people will appreciate that schools
of high and low degree are incubating
plants instead of cold storage ware
houses, will emphasize the fact that the
State Department of Education is in
spirational rather than mere checking
up scheme of inspection or statistical
machine shop; will make the commun-
ity as such function in industrial, COM
mercial, social, and political efficiency "

COAL SITUATION Is
GETTING ALARMINl

GETTING ALARMING
According to the Pioneer-Times,
Deadwood aud the Black Hills in gen
eral are facing serious outlook in re-
gard to the coal question, although no
different, and possibly not SO resious as
in other parts of the United States. The
forests of the Hills will furnish
fuel to the Hills people in
event that the threatened strike takes
place, but nevertheless it will be much
more expensive than coal and not near
as effective " hen serious wheather sets
in.
Just how serious the outlook is can
be realized by the fact that all the coal
dealers in the country have been noti-
fed that no more orders could be
shipped until the strike was at an end.
1t is not known whether or not the
railroads will deliver even the coal now
in transit. Practically every town in
the Black Hills is now very low on coal,
the dealers having very little on hand if
any, and a very large number Of the
people with only few days supply.
