The "schoolmarm" Type.

1t Is claimed that one reason why
the teaching profession is unpopular.
is that many girls think they will
lose their youth early IL they enter
teaching, and acquire an "old maid
ish" appearance.
Handling a room full of irrepres-
sible kids does involve nervous
strain, and many teachers show this
worry in their tired faces. But when
a teacher seems to be losing her
youth as a result of devotion to
duty, the people Of her community
are in some measure to blame.
Teachers are often neglected
socially. They should receive such
manifestations Of personal interest
and social attentions, that they will
get as much enjoyment out of life
as anyone. Then they will forget
the troubles OF the school room and
smooth out the wrinkles. They will
stand just as good a chance to be
attractive as any girl. plus having
"a lot more brains than the average.

THE GARDEN

Every Yard That Was Ploughed Up
During The War, Should be
Cultivated Again To-
Year. =

Brought Together. = lch Takes

During the wa ,ople were ex-
horted to plant B.. ems to feed the
hungry world. Now they need to do
the same thing to feed themselves
The shortage of labor in the rural
districts is going to reduce farm pro-
duction this year. Vegetables will
be scarce and high. The household
that does not protect itself against
these high costs by keeping up their
garden, will have no ground for COM
plant against H. c. L. next winter.
Every yard that was ploughed up
during the war, should be cultivated
again this year. In addition much
more new land should be broken up
and utilized. Vacant lots in towns
and cities should be worked for all
they are worth.
The general public can not be en-
listed in any such movement simply
by newspaper publicity. Some cent
raj committee or authority must or
ganize sentiment and secure volun-
teers and pledges. There are many
people who want to raise gardens
hut have no land to do 1t on. and
others who have land but can not
the.a Gives be persuaded to till It.
The land and the gardener must be
brought togather. which takes some
kind of an organizing committee.
All schools should be enlisted In
the movement. and as many children
pledged a. gardeners as possible.
Good seed supplies need to be pro-
vided. There are many details to
look after. but -snless some organ
ixation assumes the responsibility.
there will be natural sentiment that
it is I'D cause, but George should
be permitted to attend to It. ~ is

ment, as self preservation and ordi-
nary common sense.

MOTHERS DAY SUNDAY.
Wear q Flower In Her Honor OF
Sunday, May 8.

There are some factors in human
life that are subject to constant
change, hence human progress
Others remain about the same from
age to age. Among these fixed ele-
ments which play a tremendous part
in our affairs, is the intense senti.
ment called mother love. The mos,
degenerate wretch can be spurred to
a moment of better impulse of his
mother
Young people do not commonly
realize how intense this sentimen,
is, and what incessant sacrifices il
prompts. Children accept the con-
slant round of loving service with
scarcely thought of obligation. AS
they reach maturity, the girls devote
themselves to their rounds of pleas
|ures while their mothers are at
home mending their finery and cook
ing their food. The boys early reach
the point where their mothers wise
suggestions are viewed with con.
tempt. But when they are hungry or
miserable, they Immediately rush for
mothers consultations.
A great many selfish children are
constantly imposing on their mothers
with their incessant demands, and
they become little kings and queens
around whom the household revely-
es. II mothers have any fault, it is in
being too indulgent, allowing these
children to form harmful habits OF
non-cooperation in the labors and
efforts of the family.
Young folks of this type need a
good deal of advice from some source
outside their homes. The wise school
teacher finds occasion to make her
pupils realize what return should be
made to their mothers for this love
and service.
AS people go on in life. they real
ize better the marvellous force that
mother love. had in shaping their
lives. The wearing of carnations on
Mothers Day, May this year. has
been their means Of expressing this
feeling. 1t is not mere sentimental
ity. but Q pretty and noble custom.

LUTHER WINS
TWO FAST GAMES
Fast College Team Won Their Two
First Games of Season From
CampiOn and University of
Dubuque.
THE PITCTERs ARE
GOING STRONG
Another Big Game Booked For To-
morrow on College Grounds.
Big Crowd Will Attend.

President Preus .greeted the base
ball team upon their return to De-
corah after their first trip. The team
was met at the depot with a band
and the members of the team carried
the length of Water street on the
shoulders of their supporters. Such
success on the opening trip was al
most too good to be true, and pros
poets are very bright for one of the
most successful seasons that the
college has ever had.
The team went to Prairie du Chem
Wednesday to battle with their old
rivals Campion College. The Catho-
lies were strong this year and a good
game was played. A single, a sacri-
fice and two errors gave Luther a
score in the opening. Two hits and
an error tied the score for Campion
in their half. A three Dagger by Bot
tolfson and a single by Storvick put
Luther In the lead which they main
tanned until the fifth inning. A hit
a walk and three errors gave Cam
pion three runs in the fifth after
Luther had scored on a single, a
sacrifice and a three bagger. With
Campion leading in the ninth, Lu-
ther started some fire works which
broke up the game. A single a walk,
another single, double and a trip
pie gave Luther four runs. Elling-
SON pitched good game for Luther.
The score:
LUTHER.

IOWA MOVES UP

Now Ranks Second, With Minnesota

Total of S7,914,633 Pounds of But.
ter Produced in Iowa During
Past Year.

By producing S7,914,633 pounds
OF butter, valued at s42,969,2
Iowa in 1919, moved into second
place as butter production state
Minnesota leads and Wisconsin is
third, according to figures made pub
lie by the United States department
OF agriculture. For Iowa this is a
decided increase of more than 3,00O,-
coo pounds over the production OF
1918 when S4,SSS.4O4 pounds were
marketed.
Dairy products and dairy cows are
much in demand in Iowa and the
business is booming, according to M.
Mortenson, head of the dairy depart
ment at Iowa State College.
Newer before have dairy cows
been so much in demand" says Mr..
Mortenson, "as they are at present.
With the increase in the values OF
the land the farmer is not content
merely to raise corn but wants some
thing where he can get ready mon
.ey."
"The increase in dairy production
also is an indication that the farm
ors are preparing for harder times.
History has shown that whenever the
farmer prepares for hard times he
reyerts to the dairy business. since
II has a market that is always open.
"The demand for dairy products.
particularly butter. will continNe
strong, altho the price will drop Oh
somewhat. The large importations
|of Danish butter will not last. They
are being sent here at present be-
cause the American dollars will buy
moro than any other money Will
Denmark is not in position to sup
ply market. Its production. which
in 1914 amounted to 100000. 900
pounds exported, diminished to 34,-
100000 in 1919. Altho this viii!
greatly increase 1t will not come up
to the production in 1914 for many
years. Other European butter pro-
ducers are not up to their pre-war
standards. This will keep the Am
erican market up to normal"
| Iowa has at present 100000
dairy cows producing on the averags
Of $50 pounds Of butter fat pei
year. 1t is estimated that each per.
son consumes three gallons OF 2(
ler cent cream worth 80 cents pei
gallon. Milk is consumed at the rate
of IL pint per person. This consum.
ption is increasing at present due tc
the -csmpaign being waged in tn,
state ,r greater use of milk TO,
children. II Iowa's COW produced 2O(
pounds butter fat annually, they
would require no more outlay fol
housing and labor and little more fol
feed than now. The COW testing as
sociations are making the fight fol
better cows and greater production
per capita.
Ice cream is steadily increasing ir
IT'S value as dairy product. Las
year $27.00O.000 worth was con
sumed in the state. Cheese is tn,

ing a value Of $330.O00. It is pro
