FULLOF

Il declare, Nancy, your disposition
Is fair match for this marble cake"
Aunt Sora complained, holding up a
richly mottled slice fairly oozlng
sweetness and fragrance. "Some parts
OF 1t all white and light, yet tasty as
can be, and other parts just full of
spice and pepper and things-and
black as wickedness Maybe that's
why you make 1t SO much better'n any
body else"
Mighty glad If that is so," Nancy
interrupted with faint toss of the
head. But l cain't see 1t that way.
My cake Is best because l specialize
on 1t and never put in anything that
amt just as right as rain. So have
the face, as you call 1t, to ask pirate
prices for it-and get 'em-which Is
the best part Of 1t. Five dollars loaf

he stood facing them. both hands

food. Look at me-almost human now,

Aunt Sora heard him, her eyes visit
full and eager, but Nancy shifted scorn
of him, saying over her shoulder:
mot In this land of cooks. 1 do Just
one thing best, fifty other girls do
fifty other things just the same way.
Trouble Is, nobody can possibly do
everything best, and that's the sort of
person the world sighs for, and some
times pays for, on the chance that 1t
has got It,"
"Stick to marble cake, Nancy, and
let social philosophy go hang!" Judge
Peters admonished, leaning through
the window upon the back piazza. A
family friend, so free of the house,
nobody ever noted where he sat, or
what he might overhear. Being

he was privileged to say things other

ssWhereas the state legislature has
seen fit to pass law prohibiting bill
boards on public highways, and
"Whereas, some firms are disregard
ing the spirit of the law,
eve, the Woman's Club of Crystal
Bay pledge ourselves to boycott any
firm or firms advertising by billDoards
along our public highways"
The above little resolution has sound like
constructive criticism" While we are never
wholly in accord with organized boycott, We
feel that some of the merchants of Minnesota al
most justify it. This is especially true in towns,
like Crystal Bay, near the Cities where billboard
advertising fourishes. In many of these places
the billboards have just been moved far enough
from the road right of way to comply with the
letter of the law, and still stand there as SYM
bols of mans unwillingness to obey its spirit.
The women may be not quite ethical as to their
methods, but they will undoubtedly get results.

advancement Of the community?
Than the man who failed even to

did nothing to help change condi-

THE ANONYMOUS

Sometimes at night within a wooded park
Like an ocean cavern, fathoms deep in bloom,
Sweet scents, like hymns, from hidden flow
ers fume,
And make the wanderer happy, though the
dark
Obscures their tint, their name, their shapely
bloom.
&c. in the thick-set chronicles of fame,
There hover deathless feats of souls unknown
They linger like the fragrant smoke wreaths
blown
From liberal sacrifice. Gone face and name;
The deeds, like homeless ghosts, live on
alone.

The vice-charman of the Republican national
committee-a woman--has given the following
ten points to women political orators.
'Don't show off your best clothes; don't look
like bareback rider or tinsel circus dancer
Don't wear pearls or dangly things around the
neck. Don't wear hat, especially with
feathers or Topping things it, Don't show youl
feet or ankles. Don't yell at your audience. Don't
learn your speech by heart, read it from q
written copy. Don't refer to your lack of time
Don't knock the other party"
And now the political orators wonder
what's left for the poor girls!

THOSE GERMAN CHILDREN
BY Gunnar Bjornson.

: By Gunnar Bjornson
THE appeal for aid for the German children
is one that should not go unheeded.
4 When we consider the evidence of wan:
that has been produced in support Of this appeal
there can be no doubt about what the duty of
those who are able to do something is.
1t is just as much the duty of humanity to
save German children as it is to save any other
children under like circumstances.
The greatest mistake that this or any other
country can make is to go hating Germany.
The trouble with the world today-the trou-
BILE with the world always-is hate.
We make no apologies for saying that it is
hate that has raised all the hell that ever has
been raised in this world
We must forget that we have been enemies
of this that nation. Until we do that-until
every nation does that-there is no hope for uni
versal peace.
AS long as we go on hating, go on preach
ing the doctrine of revenge, we will have wars.
The children of Germany, the millions of
them that are now starving, had nothing to do
with the miltaristic program that eliminated in
the tragedy that had it's inception in 1914. Like
the children of other lands, like the people of all
the countries affected, these children innocent
victims of the blunders that were made by the
rulers of Europe in those fateful summer days a
decade ago.
The world needs cooperation among ma
tions. Who knows but that these German chill
dren have "come to the kingdom for such time
as this? ?"

One day last week the dead body
of an aged man was found in shah
by house in a New Jersey town.
The man had frozen to death. Cir
cumstances indicated that he had
been too parsimonious 70 provide
himself with the fuel necessary for
warmth.
The man had lived alone. He was
known about town as recluse. He
had property valued at 100000.
He owned the block in which his
little hut stood. Yet he went in rags;
he had never been known to buy a
suit Of clothes. He was interested in
nobody but himself and in saving his
money.

A PROCLAMATION

BY the President of the United States of
America.
M YHEREAS, it is essential to the continued
M comfort, welfare, and prosperity of the
people of the United States that abund-
ant forests, widely distributed and maintained l..
condition of high productiveness, be forever
wisely conserved as one of our greatest natura'
resources; and
WHEREAS, because of constantly in
creasing need for wood and other forest products
together with our past failure to provide for re-
forestation, drawing upon supplies OF
timber four times as fast as they are renewed
through growth; and
WHEREAS, the most formidable agency of
forest destruction and prevention of reforesta-
ton is fire and, of the fires which annually de
vastate vast areas, four-fifths are ascribed IN
origin to human agencies and virtually all may
be controlled and made innocuous TIN ough p;u-
dence, care, and vigilance;
THEREFORE, l, CALVIN COOLIDGE, Pre-
sident of the United States, do urge upon the
Governors of the various States to designate and
set apart the week of April 21-27, 1924 as Forest
Protection Week, and, wherever practicable ana
not in conflict with State law accepted CUSTOM
to celebrate Arbor Day within that week.
also urge all citizens, either in association or as
individuals all schools, and the press OF the lam:
to give common thought to the protection of oul
forests from fire, to the end that, in the future
in the past, these forests may supply us with
wood, protect the purity of streams, and
otherwise serve the people of the United States
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed.
DONE at the City of Washington this Ism
Gay of February, in the year of our Loro one thou
sand nine hundred and twenty-four, and of the

Dr. Mary Halton recently took part il
title argument over why women are more gi
0 fits of temper than men are personally
ont admit they are-not in thousand year
ut anyway that is what the argument was abo
md during her few remarks DR.. Mary said
,hich is so pat it is almost worthy of being pr
unced a classic.
"Woman in the home-which is her
business-has to put up with an effici-
ency expert, as that is what every man
is in his own home. Business people can
endure them some way.
"But in the home is man who cannot
sew, but scathingly criticizes sewing;
who cannot cook, but condemns cooking;
who doesn't know a thing about clothes
or furniture unless he's in the business
but makes fun of them.
s'This man, uniformed as to the mis-
conduct of stoves and the desire of
child to turn itself into a devil, is ready
to lecture on these subjects, because he's
the hysterical efficiency expert That's
what makes women wild in the home.
"Women would all be charming and
lovable creatures if the business of cook
ing and caring for children could be run
from Offices in tall buildings where they
could sit, feet on desks, putting at ci-
garettes. At present the home is oper-
ated in an amateur way which is enough
to anger any woman"

There seems to be merit in this paragraph
by Martin Widsten in the Crookston Times
"The best move that could be made towards diver
sification of farming in this region would be tht
erection of half dozen sugar factories. There
would really be much better argument for the
government oaning four or five million dollars to
build sugar factories than for making loans to
promote the dairy industry" He asserts sugar
beet growing is seriously restricted up there be-
cause of lack of factories to handle the beets.

YOUR OWN BUSINESS.

A community, like an individual
that is wrapped up wholly in itself
makes very small package.
1t no doubt wonders why it does not
attract more investors, more popula
tion--why things continue dull there
while other communities are moving
ahead And it continues to frown and
draw more within its snail-like shell
and damn everything outside and talk
hard luck
We are often cited to other states
for examples. There are many ex
amples Idaho might follow. One ~
California, which has grown great and
rich by advertising, by boosting, by
smiling and doing it all for Califor-
mia. Local interests find that unless
their state grows there is little chance
for them to develop.
It possibly was not that way always
there, however, nor in other states that
have seen the statewide light. Per-
haps it may not always be that way in
idaho. So long as it is so, the people
Of this state may go on indefinitely
seeking for an answer to conditions
not to their liking, with one good re-
ply right under their noses.
Idaho is a rich state in natural re-
sources, but it takes more than rhet
oric to develop them. Idaho is rich in
SCENES, but it takes more than resc-
lutions to get outsiders here to look
them over and enjoy them. And the
man who comes to buy scenery some
times stays to buy substance. And we
have lot of that for sale in the form
of lands, dairy herds, timber, mining,
etc.
