Just outside Of Mrs. StubtaiIs s
house Uncle WiggiIy stopped and
pulled his handkerchief from his
pocket.
What's the natter" asked
Nurse Jane. Are you getting
nervous"
NO. but / just wanted to smell

smells so good, and, oh-Nurse Jane!

looked at the linen square.

Jane Il meant TO lay that hand

cobweb thread as fne as silk, and
you couldn't see where the linen

thanked the gauZy winged insect

unless We have children who are on
the JOB of properly bringing up
their parents. We grow careless
about our appearance and about our
speech. We fall into ways" and
just because Of our age no one has
the authority or courage TO bring us
TO book, and make US correct faults,
except our children.
They have no finIeky deIicacy
about going for our most sacred
feelings with a meat axe. They
represent the brutal candor of a
near relation raised to its highest
power. and thus our olive branches
literally become rods that scourge
US into the straight and narrow
path.
Now Providence has blessed me
with a daughter who regards II as
her mission in life to keep me up
to the mark, and who is a severe,
but kindly critic of all Of my faults
and frailties, and l often wonder
what would have become of me II
I had not had the beneht of her
careful rearing.
VERY likely, in my besotted ig-
norance, / should still have been
playing Chopin instead of ragtime
and jazz, and in composing a meal
should have gone on putting to-
gether the dishes that taste well
instead of considering whether
was getting properly balanced
ration. And, likely as not, / should
have gone to my grave without
finding out whether a calorie was
a new brand of canned goods or an
esoteric religion.
And il makes me blush to think
Of how many words I pronounced
Incorrectly, and how many books
loved that are not real literature
at all, when tested by the highest
standards. and how atrocious my
taste in household decorations and
dress was and how little under
stood about the lines-or curves
Of my figure.
Fortunately my Anne Maria took
me in hand in time. She gently
but firmly, corrected my faults and
supplied me with 1920 model
vocabulary, with a fair sprinkling
of up-to-date slang and new
wardrobe with short skirts and
high-heeIed shoes She also oblig-
ingIy refurnished the house n
period furniture and has taught me
now 10 keep mouse with budget
and cooking school cooking, which
doesn't taste as well as my original
brand, but is doubtless better for
our digestions.
Il understand that Anne Maria
thinks well Of her Job Of bringing
me up and braEs Of me to her
friends as an example Of what a
conscientious daughter can do with
mother when she gives her mind
to it.
81 can not say that have in
variably enjoyed the educational ad-
vantages I have been privileged 10
have thrust upon me. but I have
one comfort. Anne Maria is about
to be married. Sometime she will
have a daughter Of her own and
then she will get her come-uppance.

Newspapers Cost Problem.

That the newspapers of the coun.
try are in the midst of the most dan
gerous and difficult period in Am
erican newspaper history is empha-
sized by the announcement of the
failure and suspension of the Kan
sas City Daily Journal, one of the
greatest newspapers of the middle
west. The Kansas City Journal has
been regarded as one of the leading
dailies of the country since its or
ganization in 1854. 1t has been the
staunch bearer of the Republican
banner for more than half a cen
fury, rand it has weathered every
storm and period of stress in all
those years and come through smil-
ing. 1t is now in the hands of its
receivers because I it has been un-
able to meet the enormous cost OF
operation that has faced all daily
newspapers since the beginning of
the war, and which still faces them
with no apparent indication of re-
lief.
During the past year scores of
smaller newspapers have suspended
publication through their inability
to meet the unprecedented strain
upon their finances. Nobody who is
familiar with the situation has been
surprised at the failure of the small
Ter papers. 1t will be surprising if
they do not fail in increasing num-
bers during the coming year, and
the newspapers of most substantial
organization will survive only be-
cause their reserve fund of cash,
credit and character, and their cease
less resourceful efforts.
The newspapers desiring to fall in
line with other branches of indus
try that are readjusting their scale
of price downward find themselves
face to face with an impossible sit
|uation. More revenue and not less
will have to be the solution of the
present newspaper problem.
Regarding the possibility of az re.
duction in newspaper advertising
rates the American Newspaper Pub.
fishers Association says it can't be
done. They review the increased
costs lin newspaper making and
shows that in some departments the
increased cost is up well beyond 10C
per cent.
AS. an expert who has studied
these costs of production" figures
puts it: "Any talk of a reduction
in newspaper rates is sheer non.
sense. Even at present figures, news.
paper advertising rates are low
and if there is any revision at al
during the coming year, it will be
upward. and not downward"

Storing Battery is Different Than
Storing Car For Winter.

Winter storage for your battery
is a vastly different problem from
merely storing your car for the win
ter. Your battery is an electro
chemical combination and must have
special attention, according to Mr.
Mccall, manager of the local Exide
Battery service station.
Mr.. Mccall points out that there
are two kinds of battery storage
wet and dry. He recommends the lat
ter. In wet storage the battery is
left just the way it is taken out OF
the car. 1t must be kept at safe
temperature and it must be water,
ed and charged at least once q
month. Chemical action takes place
during the winter months which ma,
turally shortens the life of the bat
terry.
By the dry storage method, the
separators are taken out of the bat
terry and the plates are stored dry
All chemical action is suspended 81
the battery does not deteoriate dur
ing the winter. When it is reassemb
led in the spring new separators are
used, which makes this method
slightly more expensive but the ad
ded life given to the battery make:
il cheaper in the long run.

BOARD MAKES APPOINTMENTS.
County Home Officials, Engineer,
0verseer of Poor, Janitor, APP
pointed.

The board of supervisors made
their appointments for different
county jobs last week. The county
home officials were reappointed. Mr..
Heary j. Gross, who has been the
efficient steward at the county home
was reappointed. He has made a
mighty good official, and given the
county good service, and his reap
pointment is to be commended by
the board. The following are the
county home officials.
Henry J. Gross, Steward
Mary Fortcamp, Matron
James Hallman, Day Man
G. +. Bertossa, Night Man
Randi Rude, Cook.
Rhe janitor for the court house
and Jail, Mr.. Dennis Koran, was also
reappointed, which will meet with
the. approval of everybody connected
with the building.
John Hargreaves was appointed
overseer of the poor. This position
was held by Mr.. Hargreaves last
year, and his -reappoinment is meri-
teo.
Mr.. Frank w. Arneson, Winnie
shiek's efficient county engineer was
given reappointment, and also a
raise in salary from $500 year
to $4,000. Mr.. Arneson is mighty
good man and is on the job all the
time, and we will say the county
was very fortunate in retaining him.
He was offered a position in an
other county at better salary than
he is getting here, but preferred to
STAY with Winneshiek county.
Practically all of the other coun-
ties in the state are paying from
$1,000 to $4,000 a year to their en-
gineers. The county is to be con-
graduated on retaining Mr.. Arneson,
as he is giving the proper kind of
service to the county and as good
as could be delivered by any engin-
eer.
The Office of county physician was
not filled at the session last week,
as only one bid was in. The salary
for this office was set by the board
at $3.50 year and the applicant put
figures in for 5000. New applications
will be called for.

Women Drawn to Serve on ALA
makee Juries

Three women have been drawn to
serve as jurors in Allamakee county,
two on the trial jury for the next
term of court and one for the grand
jury for the year 1921. Mrs. James
O'Malley, who has been drawn for
the grand jury, is young married
lady, former school teacher, and a
daughter of Henry Wagner of
Lansing. The other two are Miss
Katherine Farley of the James Far
ley family of Union Prairie, and
Alta Hecker Of Postville. Only about
one-third of the election boards of
the county returned a list of women
voters. 1t was optional with the
board to return the names if they
chose, or not, just so they named
qualified" voters. The French
Creek board chose their entire list
for jury duty from the women vot-
ors. The latter will not be subject
to poll tax for the law expressly
states that it is male voters who
are subject to poll tax.

Turning Back the
 Calendar
Seventeen Years Ago Today

The Catholics of Bisbee will soon have a convent school conducted by the Sisters of Charity The location for the new convent has not yet been selected, but it is understood that the building may be erected at Low ell. The structure will be a costly and elaborate one, the plans calling for a building which will cost be- tween s5000 and $1O,000.
 . When the job of hauling the big block of native granite which is to be used in the drilling contests, was started Sunday 1t was found that it would take more than handful of men and fl horses to get the big stone to the railroad. After much trouble the stone was finally loaded, but the services of a larger team was found necessary and when half way to the roalroad the job was postponed until yesterday, when a larger team was sent out.
 Among the possibilities of the near future is tug of war team to rep resent Bisbee in the field of sports.
