GOOD SPORT IN FAR NORTH

 Fisrco Polar Bear.

Possibly no other sport gives as much of thrill as harpooning polar bears in Alaskan waters. Certainly not many sports present such an cp- portunty for excitement.
 When summer comes and the frozen waters are broken up into floating fec cakes the polar bear cannot 70 about in his accustomed manner. Being . good swimmer, however, he takes to the water fin order to satisfy the wan derlust in his system.
 When floating he Is at dlsad. vantage, and il Is while he assumes such a position that Uncle Sam'> Eskimo wards proceed to hunt him In any kind of craft they can procure. They could shoot him If they chose. But if they did he would sink So in- stead of using a irearm they spear him with the hnrpoon. to which a rope is attached. This rope prevents the bear from sinking below the surface of the water. Is is said the polar bears put up fierce hght.

 1t is a good practice to reserve a small corner of the garden for a seed bed Here, through special prep aration of the soil it is possible to pro- duce better plants than could other wise be secured. The gardener can transplant from the seed bed to the garden, thus making the plants more stocky. The location of an outdoor seed bed should be such that it may be conveniently reached for watering, and 1t should be naturally protected from drying winds.
 Good soil for seed bed consists of one part of well-rotted manure. two parts of good garden loam or rottcd Sods, and one part of sharp, fine sand. The manure should be thoroughly rotted. but it should not have been exposed to the weather and the strength leached out of it. The addl- tien of leaf mold or peat will tend to make the soil better adapted for seed bed purposes. Mix all the ingredients

 The old saying tells us that you can drive horse to water. but you cannot make him drink" There is striking analogy in the case of the prospective home owner who now oc- cuples the unenvied position of rent payer to his lordship, the landlord Many of these tenants have been driven through desperation and self preservation to the point where they are interested in building home of their own. The problem is to get them over the final barrier-detinitc decision If things had gone along as they were before the war. many of these people would never think about owning a home; renting was too easy. They did not care to assume the respon- sibility.

YOUNG GIRLS NEED CARE Mothers, watchyour Daughters Health
Health Is Happiness

From the time Q girl reaches the age Of twelve until womanhood is es- tablished, she needs all the care a thoughtful mother can give.
 The condition that the girl is then passing through is so critical, and may have such far-resching effects upon her future happiness and health, that it IS almost criminal for a mother or guardian to withhold counsel or ad- vice.
 Many woman has suffered years of prolonged pain and misery through having been the victim of thought lessness or ignorance on the part of those who should have guided her through the dangers and difficulties that beset this period
 Mothers should teach their girls what danger comes from standing around with cold or wet feet, from lifting heavy articles, and from over working. Do not let them over-study. If they complain of headache, pains in the back and lower limbs, they need a mothers thoughtful care and sympathy.
