Dear Sister Sue:
You know, I clean forgot to tell
you about the dance last Saturday
night. Yeah, a real honest to gosh
dance, with GIRLS-red dresses, pink
dresses. blue dresses, mixed colors,
wind blown bo',s, friz:lcd hobs, boyish
hobs. and one with no bob at all.
Gee, but I f:li for that last one.
Well, anyhow, some very nice
ladies from Bismarck provided tho
girls; real niccs ones. too, like your
gang at home. And did we have a
good time. We did. The girls said
they did, too, but I'll bet their feet
ache from being bounced on with
these Army shoes we wear. Bet
those shoes wear two pounds to the
size. I'd hate to be one of the Bis
marck fathers who pay for the shoes
We ruined for their daughters. Some
one ought to put those kids wise and
tell them to borrow brothers foot
ball shoes before they come here to
dance.
Say. you know old Jim never
danced before in his life, but he fell
so hard for q little sorrel top. that he
got right up and danced ? /? 2 with
her until some looie shincd his gold
bars at her and Swiped Jim'S girl.
Was Jim mad-Holy scat! But the
look of relief on that girls
face was marvellous to e.
I'll bet old man 6loan's liniment
company will declare a dividend on
its Bismarck sales alone. Then Jim
wanted to dance with my pick. You
know. the n whose hair wasn't
bobbed. But sorrel top had put her
wise and she was 80 tired. Let's sit
this one out I will say those girls
are real sports. cause they danced
with fellows like Jim who had never
danced before except when they got
barley boards in their shirts at har-
vest time, and not q squawk out Of the
ladies. =
Moe was there. Didn't you hear
the crash at home? Yeah, he danced
with all of them. One tall. slim
blonde danced like Pavlowa (grace-
full, you know. and Nice got the idea
he was Ted Shawn and started cut
ting some fancy capers. He forgot
that Army shoes and waxed floors
don't stick together" Down he
came, Boom. and those shoes of his
looked like stranded submarines tied
to a sack of khaki clothes. He snuck
! out and ate ice cream and cookies.
He said the ladies giving out the re-
freshments took one look at his face,
and just couldn't refuse him. The
appeal Of beauty in Distress" he
calls 1t.
You know how I am about my
chow, Sis. When they said ice cream
and cake. I clean forgot I had the
next dance with that swell looking
brunette In the pink and white
! checkered dress, and when I came
| back-OUCH-1 thought ice cream
was cold-but that girl was 60 below
zero and still going down. But I
should worry about girls. Me for the
chow, every time.
Your loving brother.

Scientific Forestry
Aid in Flood Control

Washington = (AP) - Forests Of
the Mississippi watershed, "cven in
their present, largely mi.managed
condition." were responsible for a
reduction in the possible flood crest
Of nearly Is inches, according to E.
A. Sherman, forester, in a report to
the house of representatives.
If all the forests Of the drainage
area were protected and managed
in accordance with scientific fores-
try principles, he declared, a further

Albania Agitates for
Division of Holdings

Tirana, Albania. - () - Albania,
struggling under the feudal system
whereby land is. owned by the few
and worked by the many, is debating
a proposed law which would split up
the vast holdings Of the "begs," OF
rich landowners, and give farms to
the peasantry.
At present the landlords have un-
disputed land in the kingdom. Ths
peasants who cultivate it do just
enough work to produce the mini
mum crops demanded by their feudal
chiefs plus enough to keep their own
bodies and souls together.
Although the country's chief foods
are of agricultural origin and there
are only 600, 900 people in the whole
realm. the native farms do not come
close to meeting the demands. AL
most every year grain must be i'm
ported from America, Australia or
Canada.
One a is that the soil IS poor.
Another is that it is incompletely cul-
tivated. A third is that railways.
roads and other marketing facilities
are lacking.
Division Of the land among the
poverty stricken peasantry would not.
Of course, cure all these ills. But 1t
is being agitated as a necessary first
step toward making Albania self
supporting.
The practical difficulty in the way
of realizing it is the fact that about
two-thirds Of the elected representa-
tives in the national legislature are
"begs." They have indicated that
they intend to fight strenuously any
such revolutionary legislation so far
as it affects land ownership.
