Christmas less than two week away! I haven't anything for Aunt Alice! Or Grandmother Adamsi I'd like to make them something
 Then you sit down and eount the money yoa have left, and think about what you gave Aunt Alice and Grand ptother Adams last year. Aunt Alice, you know, would like to have something pretty for her new home. You can hardly take time how to embroider towels or ,oilieS-
 Here's The Idea
 Now you're getting armeT, TOT there is something lovely you can make for Aunt AIice's new home that IS inexpensive and won't take much tlme -a breakfast or luncheon set of sa1lltas, or oilcloth. The sanitas cloth, 1t you can get it. is best, as it takes oil pant A little better. Bat either will do. Yeu may make as many sets as you hke, dcrey,dinc. of course, on the number III the family for whom the gift is made. X set consists of plate and tumbler dolly.
 For three set you will need hut one third of yard of material, 40 inches wide. Earh plate is 12x10 inches, and each tumb.d dolly is five inches square. You will also need three tubes of oll raint in blue. red and yellow, which -u can buy for ten cents each. If yoa zt more than three sets you will, of course. have 10 have more material, hut your paint will last for a number of sets.
 Comes In Many CoIors
 The oil of sanitas cloth comes in many attractive colors. A pretty com bination is a black set with the pat tern pain+ed in orange and yellow. The design in blue, yellow and green on cream material makes a beautiful set also.
 First. measure off as many 1O-in. by 12-in, squares as you want, then measure off the five-ineh squares. Cut them all out very carefully, and round inc edges slightly, as the illustration shows Trace the pattern A i'll each corner of the large deilies and pat tern E in each corner of the small ones. You can trsce it right-out of this paper, as the patten is exact size.
 There are so heH,s on your dOilies as the material does not raVel, so be sure you cut the boders straight.
 Color Doilies Next
 Ton can have lot of fun eoloring the designs, as you can make them any ,4oiers Aou desire. 1t would be good idea to make the wheels, the round spot inside. and the border eurls all GGSerpnt colors-fer instance, you could S F the wheels orange, the inside spot Due and the boroer cUrls green. Wouldn't that be pretty7

COUNTY SCHOOL NEWS

The sale OF Christmas seals and
bonds in Jackson County has been
real success this year. At pres
It the returns shows S224.73 on
hand with eight schools and ten
school boards TO hear from. The
effective set for Jackson Co. was
$500 or IL cents per capita The
splendid response of the teachers
and school boards has made this
roal seem possible. 1t is interest
'ng to know that at present no
'chool board has refused to pur-
chase one or two bonds.
While a.. it is impossible to an
nounce definite plans at this time
It is thought that we shall be able
70 carry out the health program
which was tentatively suggested
early in the season and we are
hoping to be able to offer free
dental clinic to the school children
Of the county.
A district conference of the
county superintendents \ of the
Black Hills division is called at Ra-
Did City this week. Supt. Hazel
Hopkins of Jackson County and
Supt. j. M. Woods of Washabaugh
are in attendance.
Many of the schools throughout
the county have been closed on &C
count of the general epidemic Of
scarlet fever. Jackson County
ranked third in the state for
high average attendance last year
and it is to be hoped that the
standard may not be lowered this
year though many communities are
suffering from this and other dis
eases.
For the first time in its history
Jackson County has two three
year accredited high schools, one
at Kadoka and one at Cottonwood.
This in addition to the fact that
we have six standard schools and
one state standard teacheragc is
only another indication of the
high ideals the Jackson County
people have for their children.
Let us continue to raise our stand
