Parents are often disturbed because their be-
loved children do not like 'the teacher" To our
way of thinking parents may well be much more
disturbed if the teacher doesn't like the child.
In that case-if the parent has reared an unlike

wrong with said parents and his method Of rear

went to the we'll with the pitcher, and Ruth won
fame in the field. Goliath was struck out by

And every blamed one of the dear kids are
worthy every cent it takes! Let's not begrudge
them single one of the above expenses, but we
might show our mature good sense by clamp
ing down on the amount of gasoline we furnish
for them to use in We might also see
that fur coats and party gowns for sixteen year
olds are extravagant, show wretched taste and
also are indications of darned foolish parent
somewhere in the background. Young America

"Vote as you please-but vote! is the idea
back of the campaign initiated by the National
Civic Federation and American Legion, which
call attention to the fact that about fifty per cent
of the eligible voters failed to cast their ballots
in the 1920 and 1924 elections. The Minnesota
Women's Christian Temperance Union in con-
vention here recently also inaugurated cam
pagn to get out the vote. 1t is to be hoped that
the efforts of these various organizations will
stir up consciousness to the responsibilities
of citizenship. Although election is two months

so. 1t is civic duty not only to vote, but to
know at least something about the candidates who
seek office.-Thef River Falls Times.

Margaret Blair, the Wonder Grandmother
who is creating envy in the heart of every wo-
man in Minnesota (some of them may even be
20 envious that they will get up ambition to take
themselves in hand as she has done) says many
good things. The best of them all, to our mind
is that Happiness is the art of never holding in
your mind the memory of any unpleasant thing
that has passed" If we could just emulate Mar
garet Blair to the extent of getting that philos-
ophy firmly built into our character we wouldn't
mind because shall never be able to skip like |
a faun nor would the fact that we are accumulat T
ing perfect series of chins perturb us-at least |
