American EDUCATION week
An appeal to the whole nation.
December SO.
Sunday-For God and Country.
Monday-American Citizenship Day
Observation-Disclosures Day.
Wednesday-School and Teacher
Day.
Thursday-Illiteracy Day.
Friday Equality.
Saturday-Physical Education Day.
The above program was observed in
most of the schools in Iron county
this week. Other teachers who found
it too inconvenient to hold or observe
it at this time on account Of the
Christmas rush, will hold theirs after
the holidays. The object of the fore
going schedule was to focus the entire
nation on the needs of education and
cooperation of the people to this eff
feet. We found some of the following
points being emphasized in some of
our schools this week: Illiteracy the
cause of many accidents; an Ameri-
can flag on every schoolhouse; ply
steal education and school health work;
use the school building for Americani-
cation work; giving every boy and girl
chance; training for home life one of
the chief detectives for public school
education; Standardization of one
room rural shoots, Fairgrounds in all
schools, educational community work,

Iron County Agricultural Notes.
By Dan Shaffer
County Agricultural Agent.
THE BUTCHERING SEASON
is HERE

Is HERE
A practical way for the farmer to
cut down his meat bill is to butcher
enough of his own hogs to supply
himself with fresh pork and pork pro-
ducts during the long winter months.
Early winter is the best time to
butcher hogs on the farm. 1t is
during the winter months that the
meat can be easily preserved, and at
the same time we have more time to
prepare the different kinds for sau-
sages, head cheese and other meat
products.
After the hog has been killed, the
carcass chilled, and the various parts
separated with knife and saw, the
next question is what to do with the
meats. What recipe shall we use in
preparing our hams and bacon and
what kind of sausage shall we make?
Perhaps we wish to salt part of the
meat. In cold weather the proper
time to begin sailing is about "a to SO
hours after killing. A very good way
is to rub the surface of each piece of
meat with a good grade of salt and
allow the meat to drain over night.
I'M the morning pack the meat in a
good barrel with the flesh side up un-

The women have low-necked bodices

the ground, and both men and women
seem to have worn something in the
nature of corsets. At all events the

The following circular letter was
sent to all our rural and state graded
schools in Iron county:
Please read the enclosed message
to your pupils: "Old men make wars,
young men fight them, but always
the children suffer most" A Red
Cross worker who recently returned
from Europe quotes the above with a
keen realization of it's truth. She says
further, "In the hearts of the great
cities, along the highways, that seam
the continent, found thousand of boys
and girls whom war in it's havoc and
fury has cast like bits of wreckage
on the shores of the world. These
children face future lighted only
by the rays of hope that come from
other lands. The countries that gave
them birth are helping to their limits
and with the various relief agencies,
food, shelter and clothing is being
supplied for sustaining their life. But
unless these countries are helped
these children are doomed to grow up
sickly in mind and body with feeling
of injustice to them that will be
dangerous for the peace of the
world"
1t is to meet their school and play
life that the Junior Red Cross is be-
ing organized to do it's work abroad.
Why not let the pupils help in this
great cause by becoming members of
this organization All you need to
do is to send fifty cents of pennies
earned by the pupils, and that will
enroll the whole room. Please se1ld
your money to the office and your
name will be sent to headquarters to-
gether with money, for the Red Cross
Magazine, which will be issued month
ly to the school.
Let us do our bit and help to make
this drive in Iron county 100 per cent.
Your cooperation for a successful
drive is asked.

DOCTORS NOT GUILTY
Florida People at First Afraid That
 Professional Men Usrd 1921 Figures Instead of 1922 in Recording Births.

Tampa, Fla. Feb. 7.--Alarmed at reports that physicians in various parts of the country had through force of habit written us21" instead of 1922" for brief period after the new year, the city health officers here has investigated the recording of all births since January 1 and has an- nounced that in no instance was a Tampa professional man guilty of the error.
 It was explained that the mistake easily could be corrected at the bureau of vital statistics if it was detected when birth certificates were filed but that when once made an official rec ord it would require tedious legal proceedings to straiehten out the tangle. If the birth of person had been recorded as having occurred in 1921 when it should have been 1922, he would officially reach his majority a year before his time and would vote year too soon. It also was explained that he would cease to be a minor q year too early and that the error might result in great deal of trouble in the settlement Of estates. One official said the complications that could arise as a result of such an error were almost without limit in number.

RUG SKIRTS DECREED
 FOR SPRING WEAR
Fashion MouIders Also Startle Unin. itiated With Another Skirt That
 Is Also Cape.

Chicago, Feb. i've have had car pet slippers and carpet bags. Now enters the rug skirt. Sister Susie, when she wants a new spring skirt, need only grab up the hall rug. the one with the fringe and drape it about her.
 The Women's Apparel association, which opened it's annual exhibition here, is launching the rug skirt as one of the new spring features. It is of dashing piaids and stripes.
 There are strange things at the fashion show-things that would sur prise grandma. Silks and satins have abdicated in favor of calico; milady dons a knitted frock with skirt ex- actly like grandma's old knitted pet ticoat, and thinks she is all dressed up; then she exchanges that demure garment for one with a cape like a toreador's. and swanks forth to tea.
 Capes. by the way, cannot be es- capped. Grandma wore 'em, too. but she never took off her skirt when a cold wind came up, to throw it about her shoulders as a cape, revealing neat knickers Of the same tweed ma terial.

INTERESTING PLAY
 ON LYCEUM STAGE
"Her Unborn Child" Is Different
 Than What Was Expected
(By Herald Reviewer )

Her Unborn Child" presented by the Payton Stock company at the Lyceum last evening proved to be a rather interesting and entertaining piece of dramatic work and a little different than what was expected The play Is comedy drama from the hands Of Grace Haywood. and appears to have been written for the express purpose of denouncing birth control.
 The title Of the play is bit 'off color," but there are very few "off color" lines in the play, which in spots abounrs with humor 9he acting honors of the play easily fell to Miss Lorina Elliot, who made such a hit in last weeks pro- duction as Signora Monti. Miss FL liott, in the role of Miss Sarah Liv- ingston. the advocate of birth con trol, proves to be an actress of abil. |. ity. She at all times fits into her part and by no means does she over do it, although there are plenty of opportunities for such ip the char acter she portrays.
 Valentine Winter replaces Jack Roseleigh as the new leading man. MT. Winter did not have large part in the show last evening. but he did well as Ted Livingston, the boy who wronged Felice Ken nedy (Rose Ludwig). Miss Ludwig was again charming in her role of the wronSed child. Credit should be given Miss Agnes Loftus, who DOT trays the part of the old Irish moth

"MOLLY Q" AT PALACE

Mabel Normand in Mack Sennett' B eight reel comedy drama is the feature attraction at the Palace for tonight and Wednesday. It is a picture of a love story, sweet and pure as anything that has ever been written.
 It is an emotional dramatic offering that in some scenes transcends the best that has ever been put on the screen.
 And it is a melodrama in which the villains are confounded, in which the hero lcks the villain bare-handed and which concludes with thrilling aero plane chase after fleeing blimp.
 These are all combined into the fea- ture of the program Molly 'O,' the Associated First National Pictures at traction produced by Mack Sennett and starring Mabel Normand.
