the farm or the shack of the miner a
much more attractive place to live in,
the expert points out.
There is scarcely a ranch or a
farm that could not originally have
been made into an attractive and
beautiful place without additional ex-
pense," Mr.. Nimmons says, had the
owner only possessed knowledge of
architecture and landscape gardening
suft1cfent to enable him to take ad-
vantage of his natural surroundings
and the possibilities of his building
problem. The Importance of art
training to the home is obvious, for
the house itself, its furnishings and
it's immediate surroundings should
be artistic. A man reflects his own

HOnking For His Girl

A young man sat in his automo-
bile in front of young woman s
home the other evening and
honked loudly to announce his
arrival. She did not appear at
once and he honked and honked
and honked, keeping up the ran.
couS solo until, after what seem.
ed like IS minutes, the girl came
out and got into the car with
him and they drove away to the
movie or wherever they were
going.
Now, of course, the young man
did not know it, but in the house
just across the street was a wo.
man desperately sick. Quiet and
freedom from nerve irritation
meant a great deal to her, per.
haps her life. These nightly
honkers, and their name is le-
gion, are at best a good deal of a
nuisance TO people who feel they
have right to reasonable quiet
and sometimes, probably rather
often. they are more than a NUS
Iance. d positive peril. The inter
ests OF the out side public aside,
lit would be much more courteous
for Young man calling for a
young woman to go to the door
and ring the bell, like a civilized
human being, than it is to sit in
his automobile and honk for her.

What is history ? Apparently
too many purchasing committees
of school system answer, a book
to be bought as cheaply as posi-
ble." For it is certain that the
children of the United States are
not all being taught from the
best histories, nor even from true
histories. And a history that is
not true is. much what the old
lady said of the giraffe, as she
looked at if for the first time:
There amt no such animals!"
History not true, is not history,
but propaganda.
History which teaches some
thing else than history, is history
perverted.
History of the United States
which does not keep forever
| young the memories of the great
men whose traditions are our
| glory, is no fit book for school or
/ library. For what did Wash
ington, Putnam, Wayne, Light
horse Harry Lee, Nathan Hale,

| if not to hold a mighty torch oil
truth and bravery and patriotism
and selfless devotion to America
before us all? Did we fight wal
of revolution for principles or for
money? Did we fight a war il
1912 for principles or gain? Die
we fight war in Mexico for casl
or for love of country? Did W
defeat Spain, put Cuba on it's fee
l and civilize the Philippines 70
American ideals or to add wealth
to our Golfers? Did we send mil
E lions of men and billions 0
dollars to Europe for wealth O
to help make the world safe 70
2 democracy ?
Then let us tell the truth il
the books we call histories, whicl
are not historical unless they tel
the truth, and let us see, all o
D us, that the volumes our childre,
: study in our schools are America,
. patriotic, truth-telling, real, an

i belief.
For in that way, and in tia

Medicine Men.

IN all times some degree of healing
power has been ascribed to the priest-
mood. Medicine-men, mystery-men. sha-
mans, or by whatever name they might
De called, were to be found in every
tribe of North American Indians
Some OF these knew the medicinal
qualities of roots and herbs and prac-
ticed rude surgery, and others were
takers" A medicine-man of the
Walapai, Yuman tribe on the Colo
RADIO river, says John G. Bourke in an
article on the Apache medicine-men.
would cast bullet in mold contain
ing small piece of paper. The healer
would have an Indian fire this bullet
at him and the lead, because of the
paper, would split into pieces and do
him no harm.
Another would secretly fasten the
end of roll of sinew to a twig, swal-
low the ball and hold the twig between
his teeth. After the sinew had
softened and expanded because of the
heat and moisture of the stomach the
magician would astound his friends

Annual Meeting N. T.. A.
In Santa 6arhar a

Richmond, Marcn 5.-The 10Th
Annual Meeting Of the National
tuberculosis Association will be
held this year in Santa Barbra
California, from June 10th to the
23rd inclusive. The National
Association is now sending
announcements of the conve ntion
to thousands of tuberculosis
workers, many OF whom will
make the pilgrimage in the
interest Of better health to receive
renewed inspiration for their
work.
When it is realized that the
death rate from tuberculosis in
the registration area was over 200
per 100000 population in 1904
when the first organized fight
against tuberculosis started and
these conventions came into
being, and then we note a death
rate of 99.4 per 100, 900 population
for 1921, tuberculosis workers need
to take renewed vigor and feel
that that their Chords have not
been in vain.

Dear Richard: am sending you

tanning Tiggles. The realization has
been forced upon me that he has be-
come extremely old and infrm and the
painful necessity arises for me, as
his devoted mistress, to arrange for
his speedy and merciful demise. 1t
would be too heartless, l think, to con-
suit a veterinary surgeon. Therefore.
dear Richard, I beg of you to treat
him with the same care that you ex-
pend upon your own patients and kin

Reducing the Cost of
Feeding LiVest0rk

J One of rhe biggest problems
/ facing the farmer today is, how
can lie make a larger profit or in
many cases profit on the product
he produces. There are at least
two ways that this problem may
be considered, one is to get a
higher price for the commodity
produced and the other is to re-
duce the cost of producing that
commodity. 1t is almost imposs-
lb or the individual farmer to
! regulate the price that he will
eei Tor his product bat lie can to
large extent govern the cost OF
producing. This is especially
true when the feeding of live
stock enters in the production of
commodity. At the present time
the cost of feed for dairy or
fattening cattle is very high
because Of the high priced cotton
seed meal or other protein rich
feed. 1t is absolutely necessary
that we feed some product rich
IN protein but there are several
crops high in protein feeding
value that are adapted to the
conditions of Shenandoah County
and if grown and fed would
greatly reduce the amount OF
cottonSeed meal or other protein
rich feeds now being bought. In
order to encourage the growth
of these crops alfalfa, soy beans
and clovers) and to promote
better dairying there will be
meetings held all oyer the county
during the week of March 10Th
Those meetings will be held OH
farms of men interested in
cheaper production of live stock
and dairy products, and of better
farming in general. Specialists |
from the Dairy aud the A gron- i
omy Departments of V. Pr. will |
be there to advise with every one
present. There will be a com
meeting each night at |
some community centre with
movies and interesting talk,
o which the whole family is
invited. The time and place Of
each meeting will publish nextI

what those specialists have that
