LETTER FROM
MRS. STELLA
]. PAULUS
McCLOUD'S HOTEL, SPORTSMEN
AND TOURISTS HEADQUAR-
TIERS, LAKEPORT, CALIFORNIA

Dear Mr.. Fontaine:
Christmas is coming! You would
think so if you heard the jingle ellis
of this lake country. Every little
while a great truck passes drawn by
four OF six big draft horses with bells
jingling on their trappings. This
Lake Country is called the Switzer-
land of America. The mountains and
lake scenery and the climate excel
anything | know elsewhere. We like
the climate even better than Palo AL
to and that is saying great deal.
There is no comparison in any other
way, as everything is so different
Palo Alto is as near an ideal place to
live as anyone could find
This place is unique. There is not
a railroad in the County. We have
to turn the BIG mountain around $50
times to get to the nearest R. R. at
Hopland. One sure does some hop
ping from there on. The mountain
curves are so sharp chat I'd not trust
every chauffeur to bring me over.
This county har thirty million dollar
crop OF Bartlett pears last year, I
am told, besides wonderful grapes,
and many prunes and walnuts. The
prunes are sweet but small here
There are many summer resorts a
bout here. We took a 4O-mile ride
yesterday visiting several of them,
and had picnic at Blue Lakes. 1t
seemed just the right setting for
Scott's Lady of the Lake" | prom
ise myself the pleasure of taking it
up there and reading it some day.
There is trial for murder on here
now, so the hotel and town are full
of people from all over the country
as well as reporters from the city
papers and goodly number of peo-
pie from San Francisco and San Jose.
The evidence is all circumstantial, but
looks very much as though the pris-
oner is a scapegoat of Presbyterian
minister who drowned his wife in the
lake.
There is one man here who is quite
character. He has been around the
world great many times but thinks
there is nothing so beautiful as this
country. It distresses him very much
because the people here are not pro-
gressive. He asked me to write an
article about my impressions for the
paper. | have done it, and if | decide
to print it, I'll send you copy of The
Bee. | may hand it in as we leave
town.
The Spring Water about here is
great attraction. At Saratoga Springs
we found Is different kinds-sulphur
soda, iron, magnesia, arsenic, eppet-
izer, seller, digester, laxative, sur
prise, etc. The soda is so strong it
bursts the bottles if one tries to keep
it. We brought glass jar if it but
had to open it often to let out the
report.
Some day I'll tell you of the great
est attraction of all here"

far above the ground that human be-
ings look like insects. At Kingston,
New York, she recently thrilled a
crowd by swinging out on some high
cables and welding together some
steel plates more than two hundred
feet from the ground. She receives
thirty dollars per day or thereabouts.
It seems like a large compensation;
yet there are probably not many wo-
men who would do her work even at
this price.

Sweden Falls in Line

The parliament of Sweden, like
that of Great Britain and the Con-
gress of the United States, now con-
tains one woman member. She is
Miss Kerstine Hesselgren. For many
years she has been leader of wom-
ems labor organizations in her native
country. Because of this, she enjoys
wide personal acquaintance in 9th
er countries, including America.

PROBLEMS OF
THE HOME
and F A MILY
A Talk With Our Wives, Mothers,
Sisters and Daughters

Whence come the child's ideals,
those unwritten life rules which he
gathers for himself, and by which he
shapes his conduct and ultimate char
acter
One truth regarding their origin is
clear. They do NOT come from the
preaching and teaching of older peo-
pie. Further, we know we'll that
while the child often disregards ut
terly those who are charged with the
task of guiding him into right paths.
he is as often unconsciously absorb
ing ideals and modelling his life after
those who are irresponsible and even
vicious.
We know of several sources from
which the ideals of the child are
drawn. The most important one is
his asociates,- s,-but not all of them by
any means. The truth is that he Sc
lects his own sources of ideals with
out our consent or knowledgs. Yet

ther they are those of his associates
whom he admires most and likes best.
They may be evil companions or good
ones; but whether good or bad, if he
likes and admires them, their ideals
and standards will presently be found
to be his
The foregoing means that if the re-
lations of the home are wrong, the
child will probably draw his ileals
not from his parents, but from his
of the streets. In the
same way teachers and ministers
De passed by, while evil-doers are
the characters of our child
rem for all eternity
1t is not enough that parents feed
and clothe their children, or that
teachers merely hear their lessons
If we would truly shape their lives,
We must be their best friends and
pals Then, but not till then, will
hey actually accept ideals from US,
10 matter how much we may preach
plead or scold We often wonder |
when parents will learn the vital /
ruth that all these efforts are in vain |
lnless they themselves are on really |
good terms with their own children. |

Advertise to Women

In recent address before the Ma

Mooney declared that women do the
buying and that advertising should be
addressed to them rather than to the

Discipline Momentous Subject

The subject of discipline is one Of
the most momentous in the rearine
of children,-the Furnishing for of
fenses, and methods of punishment.
What is the best general method
of punishment. Not the ever ready
slap and shake which is the resort of
so many mothers, nor the good, sound
spanking which has been 50 generally
and generously used.
kindergarten teachers have the
care of the children at the most sus-
ceptible and difficult age but they
very seldom use physical force in dis
ciplining their charges. They will
tell you they have found isolation the
most effective when punishment is
necessary, but by using tact and skill
full management they are often able
to avoid punishments The issue can
often be avoided by diverting the at
tention of the child With small
children this is usually not difficult.
Often simple explanation is eff
fective. Even two and three year
olds understand much more than
most people suppose, If it is told to
them in language they can under
stand. In cases where these methods
fail, isolation is usually effective. The
solernnity of being entirely alone and
cut off from the family is all that is
needed. After the temper is over the
mother should go to her little one
and again allow him to take his place
in the family circle.
The mother should be careful in
her choice of words. When a child
is tired and nervous, he should not be
told that he is bad. That word should
be saved for real wrongs, then it will
carry weight and mean something.

Argue Audit Report

All blame for q misunderstanding
with regard to orders transmitted to
the audit company governing the sub
mission of their report was taken by
State Auditor D. G. Poindexter, who
said that the telegram he Sent the
company was simply ambiguous in it's
wording. 1t was taken by some that
he wished to compel them to submit
the three available copies of their re-
port to the state audit board, ignoring
the request Of the house to have a
copy submitted direct to the speaker
for the consideration of this body. Mr..
Pofndexter declared that such was not
his intention.
Committee of Nine Named.
Pursuant to the Grangaard resolu-
don, the following committee was
named by Speaker Twichell to conduct
the inquiry into the audit of the state
Industries:
Independents M. o. Grangaard,
chairman; Freeman, Grand Forks F;
Johnson of Ward; Nagel of Logan ;
Shipley of Stark, and Ulland of Trail.
Nonpartisans-S. w. Johnson of
Steele; P. f. Boyle Of Williams; Theo-
dore Hanson of Benson.
Although so measures, as enumer-
ated elsewhere in these columns. have
been introduced, it is quite apparent
that little has thus far been accom-
plished in either house. The two mat
tiers of most general interest and i'm
portance, and which have consumed
by far the greatest part Of the time,
were the senate trial of the Wog-List
election contest. which has been set

BILLINGS SENATOR RETAINS
SEAT AFTER CONTEST

Lieutenant Governor Wood broke
the "a to "a tie vote in the senate,
casting his ballot in favor of Gust
Wog and thereby authorizing the Bill
ilngs county senator to retain his seat
In the state senate.
The election was contested by r. J.
List, who was defeated by a narrow
margin and who charged Irregularities
In several precincts.
The committee to which the matter
was referred was divided in it's opin-
Ion, the majority reporting back to the
senate body that the Irregularities,
although admitted, were of such trif-
ling nature as to have no bearing on
the final outcome. The minority re-
port was to the effect that the irregu-
larities were such as to discredit the
vote Of several precincts and cause it
to be thrown out, which would leave
the final result in Lists favor; the
minority absolved Mr.. Wog from all
blame In the matter.

Cleveland III. Dodge, New York
banker and business man, director of
the National City Bank, and treasurer
of the Russell Sage Foundation and of
the Near East Relief, declares that ga
nation has been saved by American
philanthropy, and the generosity of
the American people through the Near
East Relief, in it's work for the Ar
menianS.
"The lowest official estimate indi-
Gates that one million persons are liv-
ing today who would not be alive had
it not been for this relief" MI.
Dodge continued, II have an auto
graph letter from DR.. II. Ohandjanian,
president of the Armenian Republic, in
which he writes: America literally
saved us from starvation
wholly aside from adults who have
been saved from starvation, we today
have in %orphanages and elsewhere
under our care 10000 homeless, ia
therless or motherless children who
are absolutely dependent upon us.
This is exclusive Of 63 hospitals with
| 6,552 beds, 12S clinics, rescue homes
for girls and unnumbered thousands
of refugees who are being helped
through our industrial relief and in
other ways.
THE Near East Relief has during
the past four or five years commits
stoned and sent to the Near East more
than 1000 American relief workers, OF
whom 900 are still in the field, all of
them working at great financial sacri-
nce--the standard of salary being $50
per month and maintenance - and
many Of them facing great personal
danger and hardship In the perform

ance Of their life-saving service. A
score of them have died from typhus
or other diseases more or less related
to their faithfulness in the perform
ance Of relief service.
Nor is that all. We have raised
and disbursed during war times and
in a war-torn area, in large measure
under enemy control, more than SAL
100000 in cash, and, including flour,
Red Cross and other supplies admin
lstered by our agents, a total of cash
and supplies in excess of $780, 900.
The official reports show that on June
30, 1920, we had in orphanages $4,000
children, and that we are partially
supporting outside Of the orphanages
5000 children, making a total Of
10000 boys and girls now under the
care of the Near East Relief"
Mr.. Dodge considers the work Of
the Near East Relief n of the most
stupendous undertakings Of disinter-
ested philanthropy the world has ever
seen.

totals more than 100000 souls, AM
erican idealism exemprifed by the
work of the Near East constitutes
today a torch Of enlightenment and
an influence for peace throughout the
whole Near East" he maintains.
"Our American ideal of liberty, in
dustry and helpfulness has brought US
as a people happiness, prosperity and

this heritage we are furnishing a faith

COST OF STATE FOR
1921, EIGHT MILLIONS

A total of $S,5O6, 794.S5 is provided
in the bill introduced in the senate by
the senate appropriation committee.
All of this will not be a direct tax
burden, as a considerable portion will
be provided by special fees and col
lections in the different departments.
The sums asked for the various
state offices, departments, and prot
ects are based on the findings of the
state budget committee, although the
report of this body is not yet ready
for submission to the legislature.
Additional specific appropriation
bills are still to come.
Although there is a strong movement
for the abandonment of the Wahpeton
School of Science, the Bottineau
School of Forestry, and the Glendale
and Mayvi.le normals, almost half a
million dollars for these institutions
is provided in the senate bill.

Pianos Require Fine Wood.

There is no other industry for which
a greater variety of fine timber is re-
quired, and none in which the timber
must be seasoned more carefully than
piano building. The varieties include
Canadian spruce, American oak and
wildwood, Honduras mahogany and
best English beech. Sounding boards
are made of Swiss pine, the "Ahies
excelsa," which is nothing but the IA
miliar Christmas tree. All this tim
Der has to be seasoned in a special
heating chamber, where it is subjected
for days together to a powerful draft
Of dry air.

the Eighteenth century had passed
that the piano became popular.

FOUR STATE SCHOOLS
MAY BE ABANDONED

BY q unanimous vote the state board
Of administration recommends the
closing Of four old-established state
Institutions: The School of Forestry
at Bottineau, the work Of which they
recommend be transferred to the State
University; the School of Science at
Wahpeton, the work OF be carried on
at the Agricultural college; the Ellen
dale normal school, and the Mayville
normal school. The recommendation
Is made that the buildings at n or
other Of the institutions be converted
into a state industrial school for girls,
separating the girls and boys who are
now under state care in the same IN
%stitution at Mandan, and that the other
institution be used to provide more
room for some other overcrowded
state institution, possibly for tubercu-
lars or feeble minded patients.

western grain growers of this coun.
try are to be enabled to sell at a
price that will give them a fair
margin on a crop that has cost them
more to sow, harvest and thresh than
any they have ever placed on the

attention to the fact that today's
wheat quotations are easily a dollar
lower than they were a year ago.
