Many children are often disagree
able because they haven't enough OF
the right things to do, such as games
and songs, that provide activity ana
stimulate the mind and occupations
that answer the child's need TO BE-
doing and making something.
A most important point for the
mother to realize Is the necessity Of
sticking to the lessons she needs "a.
teach every single day until the right
habits are permanently formed In her
child.
No one can tell us exactly the thinsA
it IL best to do with children. But IL
VIC begin to watch and think, read

gestions win be found to meet our.
needs. Take a glimpse backward into
your own childhood and many ideas
will occur to you In that way. And,
through it all we will find that the
children are helping to bring US up
too. Courage and Joy prolong nfe.'

PLENTY OF MOISTURE
IN THE GROUND NOW

Belle Fourche, s. D., March 29.-The
long w~ished-for and needed moisture
appears to be coming. During the past
10 days. 1t is believed more moisture
has fallen in the way Of snow and rain
that has fallen between October ],
last, and the 18th Of this month.
About 10 days ago light SHOWS and
slow rains began falling, and a good
deal of rain fell moderately, but in
c~essantly, and all e into the ground
where 1t fell.
But little preparation for spring seed
Ing has been done; that is, in blowing
or preparing the ground, but the mois-
ture OF the last few days have put
the ground into good condition for
seeding, and will cause a rush OF pre-
pairing at once.
