SMALL acquaintance OF my less in

delight in stealing up and down the
school stairway and fixing all the
pictures which hung on the walls above Just

she used to giggle. Little did either of us
know in those days of the psycholosical effect
of surroundings the character OF the in
dividual. All knew was that the best way
to accomplish her nefarious end of making
teacher mad was to tilt the pictures. Nor
did we realize that the end was
nefarious one. However, unbeknown to us
We witnessing a perfect example of un-
restful surroundings making an irritable in
dvidual. For tilted pictures in a row are, as
you will acknowledge, most unrestful. and
can vouch for the fact that teacher was af-
fected by them.
Many times since have I thought OF this
little friends demonstration OF how dign.fied
interior which should under all conditions
prove most restful and charming may be
made into an uncomfortable. tiresome place by
the misapplication of some small decoration.
So you see good be got out of most things
and my wilfu little playmate's tricks are to-
day serving the purpose of making this fact
stand out clearly in my mind-that restless

Which all is simply different way OF say

comfortable" What about beauty? you ask.
All, that is the point. Make it by all means
both beautiful and comfortable. but pay the
most attention to the comfort and the beauty
will come of it's own accord. For the principal
mission OF living room is to offer comfort
able livable place to the different members Of
the household where they may congregate and
have much enjoyment. Now. il the living
room offers all this it is fulfilling its mission
and whatsoever fulfils its mission is thing
Of beauty. But that same room may be
treated to the most exquisite color schemes
conceived it may be filled with furniture

opposite side OF the table draws the group to-
gether it were. 1t is this arrangement OF
separate centres OF interest to be used by
separate individuals which makes AZ living
room livable.
The color scheme of room must play an inn
portant part in its comfort. 1t is this covering
Of the walls and floor which makes the frame
for the picture. the picture being the furniture
and above all the people in the room The per-
sonality Of the persons in the room are after
all the paramount things. The room is the
background which not only rulfls its mission
when it shows off those personalities to their
best advantage but also caters to their comfort

is easy both to look and to sit on, is made

visualize the different usages the room will
have. Is there in the family circle one who is
studously inclined? one who will care to draw
away from the visiting circle the better to

him when you arrange the chairs and lamps.
Give him a corner. matter how small, but

NONPAR7|SAN RALLIES
s. START NEXT week

The farmers OF Burke county will
start their big campaign before
the primary election commencing
on Thursday Of next week, when
Senator j. I. Cahiii. candidate for
the office Of secretary of state, will
deliver an address in BoWbells at
1880 O'Clock in the afternoon at a
bio political rally 10 be held here.
From that time on there will be
two political rallies held each day
at different points in the county,
according to the list. Of dates and
places shown elsewhere on this page
Of The Tribune.
Senator Cahill is as we'll inform
ed on the actual political condi-
tions in the state as any other man
living, he is one of the best speak
ers the Nonpartisan League has
working in this state at the pres
ent time, and what he has to say
will prove of great interest to every
voter in the state. The senator
will speak at three big rallies in
Burke county. after which he will
fill number of speaking dates in
Divide county.
Spurgeon .O'Dell, another noted
ing tour Of Burke county at the Ole
Powers Lake on Saturday, June 10,
will fill six speaking dates in the
county. Mr.. ODell has been
speaker for the-league almost ever
since the farmers organized, and
he always has something to- say
that greatly interests the farmers.
Those who have heard him once,
always want to hear him again,
and he is sure to draw large crowds
at all rallies.
Farmers as we'll as business men
in all PARTS of the county should
pla. on attending as many of these
rallies as possible and learn what
progress has been, made since the
industrial program laws were pass
ed by the last regular session Of
the legislature. The big interests
have done everything in their pow
er to stop this program from going
into effect. but the last decision Of
the U. S: supreme court put an end
to all obstacles. and the farmers
program can now be put into effect
without further handicap.
All the candidates endorsed by
the farmers at the county conven-
ton will be present at all of these
meetings for the purpose Of getting
acquainted with the voters, and
meeting as many taxpayers as pos
sible. The county fight will be a
hard one, and the farmers want
every voter to meet the candidates
personally. and get acquainted with
them. The legislative candidates
will also be present at as many
meetings as possible.
+ In addition to the more promin-
ent speakers mentioned above
there will be several others at each
meeting who will take up less
time. but will talk in the interests =
of the league. Among these will
be Senator Ralph Ingerson, Elmer
w. Cart of across the lake. and Z.
e. Erickson and E. r. .Kellog Of
Divide county, the latter three be-
ing candidates for representative
and were endorsed by the farmers.

removed nothing allowed the far
mer for overtime work during the
busy season nor for loss through
the seasonal nature of his vocation.
The farmer was allowed, as mans
ager, $2.50-sper day for 9 97#4days,
while he paid his help an average
Sof $55 per month, with boards; and
yet. the farmer is abused because
he will not continue to grow wheat

crying for cheap bread Where is
there s another. business manager
who would work ! 9 !7 days during
