Hinckley PIT
Plan Program
For Tomorrow

The Hinckley Parents and Teach
ers' program scheduled for this Fri
day night, is looked forward to as the
most important of the year.
One of the features of the program
is a bird essay and bird house con-
test. ANY grade student may submit
a bird house which he or she built,
without restrictions.
Prizes will be awarded to the best
two in each contest, and will be
judged at the meeting Friday. First
and second prizes are offered for
each contest. The winner of the first
place will be awarded a fine silk flag.
The winner of second place will re-
ceive bird books with colored illustra-
tions.
The purpose of the bird essay and
the bird house contests, is to promote
greater interest and appreciation
among the school children toward
birds. Boys are making the home
gardens more attractive for birds by
providing houses. The slogan BE
Kind to Animals" serves as a guide
in the bird program.
The following Hinckley people are
acting as judges in the contest: j..
GlayieO, A. ]. Hunt and F. c. Kaplan.
Mrs. Dahne, an officer of the state
P. T. A. is one of the principal speak
ers of the evening program, which
follows:

ser and Ellen Lundgren.

Organization plans now are COM

broadcast through advertising, the ad-

The Greater Minnesota association,
recently Incorporated, will spend dur

sell Minnesota to MinnesOtanS ana
to the rest of the nation. Most of
this figure will be expended on var
ious types of direct advertising and
publicity.
Need Long Felt.
I'VE in Minnesota says @. c. Neu-
man of Wheaton, president of the
newly formed organization, "have
long felt a need for an association
to advertise the state as state.

Sought Information.
For the past year Mr.. Neuman has
travelled to every corner of the state
seeking counsel and advice on ways
and means of organizing an associ-
alton to fill the need for statewide
advertising program. He has re-
ceived many suggestions ON how this
program could be brought into being
and from these suggestions and ideas
the Greater Minnesota Association
originated.
Officers of the association include,
besides MIR. Neuman; R. H. Thomson,
ST. Paul, first vice-president; John F.

/. CHAPTER s

On the day We are born we
have used up only 2 per cent OF
our allotted growth power. We
can grow SO per cent more If
we are spared.
We double our weight the first
nix months: a calf does it in SO
days: a dog. in eight. We in
cerase our weight 200 per cent in
the first year, less than 80 in the
second. only five in the fifth.
Increase in weight then picks up
again and continues until the
tenth year, to drop back from the
eleventh to the thirteenth. From
the fourteenth to the seventeenth,
puberty years. it increases again,
TO IL per cent. That is our last
squirt. 1t drops to per cent
during the eighteenth year: to 1
per cent during the twenty-second.
Stature also increases by spurts.
BY the time the infant can walk,
1t has grown from 20 to 81
inches; thereafter, until puberty,
It grows between two and three
inches a year. The thirteenth
is the rapid growing year for
girls, the sixteenth for boys. Be.
tween II and Is the boy increases
his stature eight inches.
Girls usually attain their full
stature by 20, sometimes by Is;
boys by Is. But both may con-
tintte growth three or four years

The body changes proportions

The two elements in growth are
