Fine Points
In Beautifying
City Are Urged

A comprehensive program of civic
improvement was outlined to the
members of the Kiwanis Club at
their MONDAY luncheon today by
Mrs. Anna Stark of the park Com
mission. In her talk Mrs. Stark en-
phasized the fact that it was impos-
sible for the park board to assume
complete responsibility for all civic
improvements. She asked for the
cooperation of the City Commission
and all of the civic clubs in the city.
The first point. to be emphasized
by Mrs. Stark was the enforcement
OF the weed ordinance. A city can
not present beautiful appearance to
outsiders passing through it if weeds
are permitted to grow promiscuosly
throughout. She urged that the weed
law be enforced.
Other points discussed by the
speaker included the terracing of 9Th
ave. hill and restricting it for resi-
Dental purposes with occasional
small garden patches of flowers and
shrubs. A nice drive should be com.
pleted to the hospital. Electric
stoves for the tourist camp with
flowers and shrubs for Chautauqua
Park were also held forth as a need
ed civic improvement. The road lead
ing north from the grounds should
be put in first class condition she
declared.

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRES.
COLT TO RUTH BURKE, CON-
TINUED

Sarah told me last night when
We were putting that blessed boy
to bed, and he insisted that l should
undress him, that if John had not
decided to come down and bring
the baby, she would have asked
him to let her bring little Jack to
me. She told me he used to grieve
for me daily, and She never came
into the room that his little face
did not light up, and fall again
when he saw it was not l. The
last words he said at night were
spoken with little trembling lip:
II want my pity muvver."
1t doesn't seem possible, Ruth
that l can have a deeper and more
astounding love for my own child
when it comes than l have for this
boy; but if | do, in spite of all l
may try to conceal, / know cam
not keep it from little Jack. He
seems to have an uncanny intuit-
ion where | am concerned.
would not tell all this to John,
dear Ruth, even if we were friends
with each other. Speaking of
friends-I wonder if John and
have ever been friends. We are
the most impetuous of lovers, but
l don't believe we are real friends.
If l should tell my doubts and
fears about little Jack to John he
would say: well, you know you
have adopted the baby; it's up to
you"
You know, Ruth, his mother is
all the time bringing up "What
are you going to do when you have
children of your OWN" 1t is her
almost daily inquiry whenever she
sees me with my son.
He is my son, Ruth. l chose him.
l did not need to keep him. l did
not need to take him and care for
him, because in my ecstatic love
for his father l had brought him
into the world and so felt moral

AG COLLEGE
PIGS BRING
HIGH PRICES

Fargo, N. D., Sept. 24-Twelve
pigs sold this week from the herd
at the North Dakota Agricultural
college brought nine cents pound
on the local market. The average
weight was 1913 1-2 pounds per pig
and the average sum each one
brought was $17.86. The total
amount received for the twelve was
$214.38:
"These pigs were but six months
old, having been born in March"
says Professor J. H. Shepherd,
swine specialist at the college. Sew
! eral more pigs are practically
ready to sell and others in just
as good condition as the twelve
are being retained for the college
swine herd. These pigs were fed
on. barley, shorts and alfalfa un-
til August 10. Since that time
they have been hogging off peas
and have developed very rapidly
on this feed. s.o..
The value of soft corn as feed
for swine will be tested this fall,
Professor Shepperd, says. He
plans on putting ten head of spring
pigs in to fields Of soft corn and
will +feed them through until, late
in the fall when their condition
and weight will be taken and COM
pared with that at the time the
tIal was started.

l voluntarily took him to my heart.
l voluntarily took upon myself
tho responsibility of his life, and
l shall never forget it under any
circumstances.
Surely the good God will not
make me unhappy in this loving
duty.
Then, Ruth, there is another
and perhaps even greater ques-
ton that has come into my mind.
l have been thinking very much
lately about it, and l have been
asking myself the question over
and over again. Is it best for
John and me to continue to live
together as husband and wife?
1t seems to me we are never in
each others society for an hour
without finding something about
which to disagree. Although it
may be because of my sensitive
ness, at times it has seemed to
me that / have surprised upon his
face look, when he was talking
of Paula Perier or Sally Atherton
or other young women, which
might be there because he is Won
dering if these women were not
better suited to him than |.
| You see I'm rather a serious
type. Life means much more to
me than just having a good time
To tell you the truth, Ruth, / have
dimly suspected there comes q
time in every married woman's
life when she asks herself the
same question am asking myself
Men do not take matrimony SO
seriously; at least they do not
seem to do so. When they grow
tired and bored and doubtful and
unhappy. they get away from il
all in some way. Either they take
up business more seriously, they
go more and more into the COM
pany of men, they spend evenings
at the club-or, yes, flirt with
another woman.
Ruth, l can't do any of these.

ADVENTURE OF

eyes, sir!' said the kind Green
Wizard to the Sand Man.
Eve must find out who stole
the Sour Old Witch Who Lives
Under the Water Fail or Tweekanose
the Gnome or Eena Meena the Magi-
clan or Twelve Toes the Sorcerer or
| Comet Legs, who tried to steal the
moon or-Why, l know what I'll
dol" he cried suddenly.
What?" asked the Twins.
"What?" askd the Sand Man.
81 shall look in my magic gazing
ball and find out" said the Wizard
Its as easy as eating apple pie.
Just you wait
So he went to his cupboard and
reached up to his top shelf and
brought down large glass ball
which he busted and placed on a
table.
Nov come and look, everybody"
he invited. "When l say a charm,
look as hard as you can right at the
ball, and see what you can see."
So they all pulled up their chairs
and the Green Wizard said:
where is the Sand Mans magical
sand?
Out in the ocean, in sky, or on land :?
Babies are crying, the world is
| awake,
Who was so mean as his sand for
to take?"
And then what do you think they
all saw as they looked into the glass
gazing ball?
Tweekanose the Gnome with the
bag of stolen sleepy sand over his
shoulder, knocking at the door of
the house where the Sour Old Wo-
man lived under the water fall.
And as they watched, the Old Wo-
man opened the door and Tweeka-
nose went in.
Then she led the Gnome to a place
in the middle of the floor and lifted
a board.
Tweekanose dropped the sleepy
sand down into the hole and the
Sour Old Wowan pushed the board
into place with her foot.
Then Tweekanose did little
dance and he did a little prante and
went out looking as innocent jas
though he had been picking daisies.
"Well of all things!" exclaimed
the Sand Man. did you see that p
~ should say we did," said the
Twins.
Didn't tell you?" remarked the
Green Wizard. Didn't tell you
that Tweekanose was the one who
most likely had it? Now! Who says
I'm not wizard?"
I'm sure you are" said the
Sand Man gratefully. eff it hadn't
been for you we wouldn't have had
the least eda where to look. Well
60 after him at once. The rascal!'
WED better be going after tho
sleepy sand, wouldn't we?'' asked
Nancy, who was worried about the
babies.
"Yes.' nodded the Sand Man
That's right. 1t doesn't matter
about Tweckanose but it does matte,
about the sleepy sand. Goodby, Mis-
} ter Green, Wizard. I'm sure that
can never thank you enough fol-
what you have done. Come on
Twins" a.
And with, that, Nancy and Mel
and the Sand Man slid down the tree
where the Green Wizards house was
and started toward the waterfall
where the Sour Old Woman lived.

ON HEALTH
CARE OF EARACHE

Earache may be hint Of some
thing quite serious, as the Jones
family was advised when one Of the
children was thus troubled-and so
it is frequently advisable to consult
the doctor.
But for emergency treatment at
home this remedy may be tried: Fill
a bag with salt and heat it thorough
ly, applying it to the ear. If this is
not to be had try hot cloths or hot
water bag.
