MOTHERS CLOTHES

why mother" cried the little boy
his eyes shining, you look just like
! a schoolgirl in that white waist and
blue tie. | like that, wear it again.
Children do notice mothers clothes
and are quite fine little critics. 1t is
| interesting and profitable to question
the reasons for their approval or dis
approval of various dresses, and a
wise mother will talk over her cloth
es with the children. If she explains
the reason she chose a certain color,
how she matched her hat to her
gloves, why this cloth is stronger
than something elese, and all the lit
tie effects that combine thrift and
good taste, the children Will not only
be pleased at her confidence in their
understanding but will absorb much
useful knowledge about clothes.
Il like to go out with you since you
made that new skirt" said the little
girl, the other one didn't look SO
nice.
II mother gets careless or dicour-
aged and lets her clothes lose their
charm, the children resent IL SeAen,
ii they do not voice it. 1t is only fair
to the children for mother to spend
as much effort and thought on her
own clotehs as she does on their fas-
cinating apparel, and then in later
years they will not demand every
thing, but will want mother to have
pretty things too.
1t pays to understand and weigh a
childs remarks about clothes as that
is one way of learning how the little
brain is working. A mother came into
the room where two, boys were play
ing and showed them her new silvery
gray straw hat.
You lok just like hearse," an
nounced the younger boy delightedly
The remark was rather startling,
but the mother smiled and said, do
you like this hat?s
''Oh yes, it's so shiny and pretty"
replied the boy, /" and | like the sill
yer look
did you see anything today about
that same color?" asked the mother,
still searching for the reason back Of
that first remark.
rYes, saw carriage all siver and
shiny like your hat" nodded the child
and brother said it was hearse."
The connection was explained, for,
he had connected the first
gray hearse he had seen with the sit
yer gray hat. His mind was grasp
ing the fact of new color effect. II
the mother had been irritated at his
Impulsive remark, or had laughed it
away, she would have hurt the child
and driven his new thoughts and con-
fidences back into himself.

LEONARD PAPE

Leonard Pape, the ten year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Pape of the
Seaforth community, died at the home
of his parents Tuesday morning of
last week. The funeral was held at
the Catholic Church at Seaforth
Thursday morning and interment was
made in the Catholic cemetery.
Among those attending were the pu-
pills of the Mary Holton school which
the boy had attended before he be-
came ill. Death followed an illness
which began last July. At that time
the child was taken to Rochester and
underwent a series of treatments
which failed to benefit him. He is
survived by his parents Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Pape, and one sister, Lucille.
The family came to Minnesota from
Iowa a few years ago and for the
past two years has resided near, Sea-
forth. It's members have won a warm
place for themselves in the hearts of
the residents of that community and

sympathy to them in their hour of

The decision states that "In the as

of capital stock of the defendant and
the taxation thereof, no discrimina-
ton was made in favor of competing
capital in the hands of individual
citizens or in favor Of other monied
corporations, and no injustice or I'M

the defendant.
"The law of Minnesota relating to
such assessment and taxation is
neither unequal nor unfair as to ma

and does not permit discrimination in
favor of competing monied capital in
the hands of individual citizens or in
favor Of state banks or other Compel

of the stockholders of the defendant
as made for the years 1921. and 1922

during which period the defendants
will prepare their appeal.

Young Man, Buy Land

How many of our boys realize that
land is going fast-boys brot up to
think that in America land can never
be scarce, that when they have ex-
hausted every other resource they can
somewhere get piece of land for
little or nothing, and the next day
be prosperous farmers.
True there are vast unoccupied
areas in the United States, but much
of the land is not adapted to agri-
culture. Timber lands have been
grabbed by the interests, or held by
those fortunate enough to have ac-
quired them in an early day. After
the timber has been removed, how
ever, comes the opportunity for the
man of limited means to acquire a
good home, provided he buys produc-
tive land, not too far from a good
market. The man who buys sterile
sand farm, no matter how cheaply,
highway of progress, but will be
forced into byways leading his family
to poverty, ignorance and restitution.
In 1866 there was but little over
eighty million acres under cultivation
III tiiC OHlJCu OtdlcS. lOQdy tnC
cultivated acres have more than qu-
adrupled. Most of the best land in
each locality is under cultivation, or
has been acquired by keen-scented
business men who with far-seeing
vision have bought whole counties be-
cause of their natural resources or as
an investment predicated on the in
evitable advance in values.
Land is the original source of all
wealth. The time to save money is
when you are making it, and the
young man who sets aside little
each week and month and year and
invests some in education, some in
good securities, some in: land, is q
sure winner, even though the land be
no more than city lot worth the
money. It is a beginning. He has
some spot on the face of the earth
that he can call his own, and he will
eventually become home owner.

Conditions in America never before
were so ripe for the appearance Of
business Napoleons. There is room
for dozen, even twenty of them.
A railroad Napoleon could today
accomplish bigger things than the
work of Hartman and Hill combined.
The United States Government would
give him it's blessing when he address

of huge consultations recommended

He would find scope for achievements
for transcending any ever attempted

could afford to pay him any number
of millions of dollars he cared to

An even larger and more vitality
important task awaits an agricultural

is coming when agriculture in this
vast continent will be conducted
largely as big business. Think what
a Farmer Ford could do! He would
round up and cultivate land, not by
the hundreds or the thousands of
acres, but by hundreds of thousands
and even millions of acres.
He would use hydro-electric power
as freely as it is used in factories.
At certain seasons he would probably
cultivate fruits under acres and acres
