PLANNING lessons LABOR

Better equipment and more system
attic planning help the housekeeper
TO do her cleaning more easily and
quickly. 1t is we'll to have a special
place where cleaning utensils may be
kent in the best condition and ready
for instant use, suggests the Depart
ment of Agriculture. Much time and
energy is spent in collecting the uten-
sils needed for cleaning.
A closet, cupboard or wardrobe IN
the kitchen is the best place Tor Keep
ing the cleaning utensils. A back
stairs closet is also good place. one
end of a back porch may be inclosed
and used for such a purpose. Inc
closet should have plenty of hooks and
racks for utensils and shelf for
cleaning materials.
The housekeeper should choose
utensils according to her own needs
and according to the requirements oi
her house. Those suggested oeloW
are inexpensive and will help 70

ABOUT THE LITTLE ONES

occasionally publish some interesting
articles by mothers who make it
profession to know about the chill

have written them for the bureau of
education of our national government.
The following by Marie X. Chaffee,
deals with the idea that we can de-
light the children by entering with
them into the spirit of their games.
Mother, may we play carpenter

ing.
Certainly, boys" was mothers res
ply. And soon Robert and two OF his
friends were hunting down cellar for
small pieces of wood to make table.
They had made tables of paper and
cardboard, so why not of wood? VI
course mother had to help them ham,
mer the nails in tight, but the boys
found the wood and fitted the pieces
together.
Then mother sang and acted with
them the kindergarten carpenter
song:
Busy is the carpenter;
At his work he stands.
Oh. the wonders he can do
With his skillful hands!
Saving now, the long, long boards
Shorter soon he makes;
And the rough is quickly smoothed
When the plane he takes.

nations were wonderfully developed

shut up shop, put away all tools care

Whatever the boys played in kinoer-
parten they repeated at home, ana al
ways with added spirit, for mother
and sister were there to join them

ersen for School Director by
a Big Majority
Nee oNNAUeHEY ELECTED ALSO
Largest Vote Poiled at School Elec-
tlon in Many Years-Electors Vote
5000 for Building Fund

The school election OF Monday last
proved one of the most exciting school
elections held in the independent dis
trict for many years. Directors to
succeed B. Brodersen for the three
year term and to succeed DR.. R. O.
McConpaughey who was filling the
vacancy caused. by the death of B. Y.
Nicholson, for the two year term,
were to be elected. AS early as Fri
day of last week opposition to the re-
election OF B. BrOdersen materialized
and on Monday the name Of George
McHenry was brought out and voters
urged to support this candidate. There
was no opposition to the candidacy OF
DR.. McConnaughey.
Mr.. McHenry's debut into the polit-
ical school seemed to meet with the
general approval, particularly among
the younger generation who were in
strumental in getting out a very large
vote and Mr.. McHenry was elected
by q majority of 166 votes The total
votes on these two candidates, aside
from spoiled ballots, was 548, Of
which Mr.. McHenry received 357 as
against Mr.. BrOdersen 1911.
+ The newly elected member will,
without question. take much interest
m the school affairs. He is especially
we'll fitted to act in the capacity of
school director, being graduate Of
the Chicago University in the collegi-
ate and law departments, and possess
ed Of the necessary business acnmen
and he will be valuable addition to
the local school board.
Mr.. Brodersen gives up the Office Of
director with an enviable record. For
many years he has been one Of the
strong members and has always stood
for better schools and true economy.
In the employment OF teachers Mr.,
Brodersen has always stood for the
personality as well as the educational
ability and mainly through his efforts
the independent district has always
procured a competent corps Of teach
ers. AS q director OF the independent
school district Mr. BrOdersen had Ia
record to be proud OF.
At a meeting of the electors OF the
district held at 2:3O o'clock Monday
afternoon 1t was voted to allow the
