Adorable Fudge Apron.

There are aprons, for Instance
aprons OF every mode and mate
rial, from the tiny white tea apron
to the all.enveloping kitchen apron.
But here's really bewitching idea
for a fudge apron. In straight
piece OF lEnen-toweling may be
used-a circular opening is cut for
the head, leaving enough length to
reach to the waistline in the back,
and three.quarter length in front.
A straight piece OF the goods forms
he belt, attached at the back and
fastening with a snap or button in
front. In the particular apron IL
lustrated conventional design Is
worked in green floss at the bot.
tom and at the neck. The entire
apron and belt is outlined in a
loose buttonhole stitch In black.
Rickrack braid or a narrow crochet
ed edge may be used instead Of the
buttonhole stitch.

Minnesota The new movement, how
ever, Is to be made with the serious
intention OF keeping the children who

The movement is said to have had its
origin at Arlington. Mimi, from where
the first call fol. help on the farm
came.
Businessmen at Arlington decided
that too many children were leaving
the nearby farms before completing
high school, and going to the Twin
Cities. Arguments with the children
invariably end in failure for the
grownups so the business men Of Ar
ungton decided TO make their town
as attractive as possible. They have

COUNTY DECIDES BUDGET
1T WILL BE s235, 900 FOR THE
NEXT YEAR
This Marks An Increase; the
Board Fixed Up the Levy
During Today

County Auditor C, Z. Kennedy to-
day submitted to the county board his
estimate for the 1921 tax budget as
required by law. There was no
change in this years estimate over
that of 1920 with the exception Of an
increase OF $4,000 in the district
court expenses; a reduction OF $1,000
In the mothers pension fund; q re-
duction OF $1,000 in the board OF pri-
soners fund; an increase of $1,000 on
fuel and supplies to the county jail;
reuction of $1,000 in miscellaneous
expenses. An additional $4,000 will be
levied to establish a sinking fund for
remodeling the vaults in the court
house, as several of them are abso-
lutely inadequate to hold the amount
of records which should be stored
there. There was also an increased
estimate of $4,000 in the road and
bridge fund raising that fund from
$4,000 to $4,000. as this fund has
had very large deficit for many
years past.
Owing to the fact that the county
revenue fund has good balance on
hand, $4,000 was deducted from the
estimate to be levied as the county
already has 1T on hand.
Board Voted Levies.
After considering the auditors e.
innate, the county Doar0, on mOtlon
of Commissioner Ole K Olson, voted
through a. resolution to make the le-
vtes as suggested.
1t was also decided to levy $4,000
as county revenue fund; $4,000 for
the care of the poor, and $4,000
for the road and bridge fund, or $10.-
900 more than the estimate made by
the auditor. This makes a total tax
levy for 1921 OF $685., 900 as against
$225.000' for 1920. It',is certain that
the valuation of thescounty will be
so largely increased over previous
years that the rate3in mills will be
less than In 1920 for county purposes.
In 1920 the rate for county revenue
was $50 mills: the poor fund, 80
mills. and road and ridge rate $40
mills, so that for, every $1,000 of as
sessed valuation the county tax was
