Teach the Child
to Appreciate
Beauty
Simple Lyrics kindle an Interest and
Arouse the Imagination

Every normal child possesses an in
st1nct1ve love of beauty. 1t is seen
IN the trembling eagerness of the
babe to grasp in his tiny hands the
daisy or daffodil. If, in his Joy. he
tears and destroys the fragile thing,
it is only because of ignorance and
nexperience, and if wisely taught he
soon learns that destruction always
brings, as its result, unhappiness and
regret.
Later, as he begins to toddle about,
the child will bring his mother bits
|of bright cloth or paper, pebbles or
shells. If older eyes see what the
child beholds in these apparently in
significant things what wonder would
be spread before them!
Magic Winter Time
In the winter time, the mother is
wise and sympathetic, the child will
/ how her his wonderful discovery of
snow and frost crystals or the mys-
terry of ice forming on stream with
he shadowy water slipping beneath
t. To be able to see with the eyes
of little child is indeed a privilege.
The poet Wordsworth has said
Heaven lies about us in our infancy"
How is it if we can lose it if we once
possessed the secret of it's ownership?
How can we be enabled to hold,
through all the years, the gift with
which wise and loving father en-
dowed us?
Mother Teaching Important
Much depends upon the mother and
alter upon the teachers of the child.
If the Unborn love of beauty is wisely
fostred and cultivated and the field of
observation continually expanded I'M
til the trees, the mountains, the sun
sets, the clouds and the stars are
loved as familiar companions a bull
wark will gradually be built up against
the Establishments of life.
One way in which this may be done
is to bring to the child's attention
bits of verse and poetry in which are
expressed sentiments akin to his own
or which may arouse in him an in
crest and kindle his imagination. For
example, this bit of verse by an I'M
known author will appeal to the imagi-
nation of a tiny child and be at the
same time simplifed botany lesson:
A Grown-Up Flower
Little Apple Blossom, when a baby
small,
In tiny crimson cap peeped out first
of ALL
Older grown, she used to wear a snowy
satin gown s-
Trimmed with ribbons pale and pink,
running up and down.
All her pretty finery she has laid
away;
You will find her,/if you hunt, in her
working dress,
Making you an apple for next winter
time, l guess.
There are literally thousands of
Nature poems from the simplest lyric,
singing of flowers trees, birds and
brooks to such poems of philo-
sophie insight and grandeur as Bry-
ants "Thanatopsis," Wordsworth's'
Intimation of mortality" and Tenny-
sons "FloWer in a Crannied wall"
If the child learns to love the simple
things he will continue to love them as
long as he lives, and he will add to
these, as he grows older, a host of
others to carry the love of beauty
through the years and to add to his
courage and strength.

Wrinkles can generally be removed
from a silk dress by hanging it over

NO LAND BOOM WANTED

The thing we don't want here is a
speculative land boom. The big advan-
tage we have to offer to our prospective
land buyers is good land at reasonable
prices to actual settlers. No specula-
tors who would hold their land with
out improving it. need apply. If we
can keep our land in the hands of
farmers or men who will improve it we
are on the right track. Men who own
the large tracts of land here are not
advancing the price of their land any
more than the expense of handling it.
and this is as it should be. Wild land
has advanced about $500 per acre in
the last three years on the average.
There is a greater,O opportunity to buy
a farm here today than ever before as
this SD or $50 land becomes worth
500 per acre in very short time if a
real man gets hold of it and puts up
some buildings brushes it off and seeds
il down and keeps busy.
Buy Rusk county farm, move on
to it and become independent.

HolStcin breeding center. Mr. Rem

this farm for $500 per acre or $4,000,

A TOPSY TURVY WORLD
By the Farm Editor

The whole world is upside down from
the fact that men take advantage of
each other every time they get chance.
The cities have kept the price of farm
produce so low that farmers could not
make Il living wage for themselves to
say nothing of competing with the
cities in getting help to run the farms.
Good farm houses are being deserted
while their occupants are tiOcking to
the cities where wages of labor ranges
from $500 to $1,000 per day, and they
have TO put up in miserable quarters
at constantly increasing prices for
rent. clothing. fuel and food. The
whole nation is getting top heavy and
the end will come with a crash like the
tipping over of Il load of hay. There
is no doubt but what it will have to
come and the sooner the better Re
adjustment will then proceed to take
place Men who are farmers will be
glad to 90 back to the farms as soon
as the city wages are cut to an equal
ity with the earning capacity of the
farm. 7 his REIMBURSEMENT cannot

fact that every man who raised a
