LITTLE PLAYLETS TO
BE ACTED ATHOME
(BY Mary Frances DaVisl

A prominent educator says that no
knowledge becomes useful part of
us until we have translated it into &C.
ton. That is why small children love
to play the thing which claims their
interest at any moment. After seeing
a parade, little boy loves to assume
a stiff military bearing. seize a stick
for a flag, impress all available chill
dren as soldiers. and start parade.
Every mother Of little girls knows
how very early baby girls begin to
play at housekeeping. They love to
wash clothes, iron, sweep, dust and
mother" their dolls. They should be
encouraged in these activities.
This is the natural instinct of dram
atization, and can be utilized in de-
veloping desirable qualities in child
and in impressing useful knowledge,
for the child comes to understand
through doing. Children love to fly
like brides, creep softly like mice, and
gallop like ponies. After trip to the
Zoo, they have many glorious after
maths of pleasure in roaring like the
lions, climbing like the monkeys, and
initiating the antics of the bears. A
wise mother will fortify her nerves,
and encourage her child in this, for
IN assuming the roles of various ami
mails, the child is coming to under
stand them, and to make them a part
Of his general knowledge.
Children of kindergarten age, or
even younger, love to "act" the stories
they know. Mother Goose rhymes are
enjoyed by all the little folks, and
mothers will find that children take
keen delight in dramatizing them.
After the children are thoroughly
familiar with the incidents of Miss
Muffett, Jack Homer and Jack and Jill
let them be those characters. In our
to spend rainy mornings. Little Miss
Muffett sits on foot-stool, industri-
ously eating make-believe curds and
whey from a large tin plate, with a
small tin spoon. We add recite the
rhyme together, and at the thrilling
words, "there came great spider and
sat down beside her." little brother
lowers whisk broom. Miss Muffett,
much frightened, jumps up, dropping
dish and spoon with a pleasing clatter
and rushes to a far corner. Then we
all laugh, and the children shout,
"Play it again"
Little Jack Horner is easily drama
tiled. He sits cross-legged in corner:
with bright colored candy box, which
plays the part Of the Christmas pie.
As we recite che put in his thumb and
pulled out Plum" the hero holds
aloft small rubber ball, and cries,
"What great boy am Il" All of the
simple nursery rhymes may be played
in like manner. -
There is a large field of material
with dramatic possibilities which may
be so utilized

Pursuant to instructions from the

der date Of September 30th, 1921, for

I is grave doubt in the minds of many
| people as to whether or not it is wise
to have it as easy as this for any or.
ganization to become political party
and be entitled to separate ballot.
If by chance North Dakota should get
big enough crop of demagogues it
would be possible under this law to
have as many as 20 different political
parties in the state. a-
The fact is that those who are COM
planning about the proposed election
law, are not concerned about the posi-
bility of having political government
by means Of parties. Their ideal is a
political dictatorship. If their ideals
were followed for even a few years.
chaos instead Of order would prevail
bn every hand.
Consistent with the many efforts,
both successful and unsuccessful that
have been made in the past by the
League leaders to prevent the people
from expressing themselves freely on
public questions, it is the purpose of
the League leaders now to try to pre-
vent approval Of these laws. If that
could be done then it would be posi-
bic for them, in cOnnivance with poll
tical tricksters of various kinds to take
advantage of legal technicalities and
complicated ballots to prevent the vot-
ers of the state from ever again lining
up squarely in two camps "For" and
Against" the perpetuation of such adj
of public affairs in North
Dakota as we now have. Their thought
is that if they can by hook or crook
hang onto their places until the next
general election comes on, then they
will not only have lined their pockets
and the pockets of their henchmen
but that then they can get out of the
way and perhaps secretly support cam
lidates for their places against whom
the charges of political grating and
can not be truthfully made,
but who will also at the same time not
make any serious effort to bring
wrong doors before the bar of justice
In the meantime they can plunge the |
state into such debt inOrder to enrich |
themselves that the taxpayers will be |
pending under the tax burden for a |
quarter Of century or more before |
North Dakota can get squared with the |
world again. Better fix the election |
avs now when there are only two |
sides to it, so that the people Of North |
Dakota can always in the future settle
my question or statewide concern
without the interference of scheming
politicians. Better make change now
md be safe than to wait and be sorry.

Merchants in Crookston, Grafton
and Grand Forks have been victimized
by a we'll dressed, middle sized
woman, aged about thirty years, who
presents checks on various banks and
succeeds by convincing talk in OBJ
tanning the cash on the same. This
party endorses the checks in large
flowing, back hand signature and, to
add FEASIBILITY to her arguments, gen.
orally gives an address with her en-
dorsement. This address is, of course
fictitious. Merchants should look out
for this individual. She has line of
talk that gets the money in almost
every case.

Gronna has way at getting down to

earnestness and honesty OF purpose
have the punch to convince those that

The March Election.

If there is any plot to make it impos-
sible for farmers to vote in the ma
fional primary provided for in the Sec
Snd law than the farmers have been
plotting against themselves. The
third Tuesday in March is township
election day. That is the date on
which township officers are elected
and recommendations in regard to tax
levieS and road work are acted upon.
1t is a big day in every township. 1t
brings out more voters very often than
the general election in November does.
The third Tuesday in March ives des'
ignated township election day in 1893
at the request of the farmers. Before
that time the township elections had
been held the second Tuesday in
March. If there is a pilot" in having
the election come in March, then the
farmers have been plotting against
themselves in North Dakota the past
so years. as it has clearly been up to
them to set the date for their own
township elections. The vote on dele
gates to National party conventions,
National party committeeman, and
presidential electors is always taken
on. the third Tuesday in March now.

Mr.. Laid did not say anything about
state affairs regarding increased tax
es, homebuilders association, hail fund
or anything that the farmer wanted
to know about, but put in his time
yawping about Wall street and the
federal reserve bank which he claims
is no good, but he did tell the truth
when he said he did not uphold the
managers of the Bank of North Dako-
ia. This is the first admission from
a league speaker that the bank was
in a rotten manner. The
consensus of opinion is that the
speech was decided frost and was so
received, in fact one Lacquer, radical
at that, said it was one of the poorest
talks he had listened to. Keep Laid
on the stump and the I. V. A. majority
is going to grow rapidly.
