Knitting Craze Sweeps
 Through Smith College

NORTHAMPTON, Mass, Jan 25.-A knitting craze has broken out like an epidemic at Smith College.
 The more severe manifestations arc as yet confined to dofmitories, but is feared that campus and clas5rooms may yet feel the eff fleets of the sweep. In it's wake are found such utilitarian articles as sweater suits rather than the mere strictly domestic comforter
 The most desolate locality in the stricken houses is the dining room. Students, according to a newly passed regulation, are not allowed to bring their knitting to meals, lest, perchance. the yarn become confused with the food, it is said, including. that food with the Italian name
 This Victorian pastime is ex- pIained by the victims not as a return to naive artlessness. but as a triumph of sophistication.

Italy Plans Arbor Day <
 To Halt Deforestation

ROME, Jan. 25. - Italy, like the United States, will have it's national Arbor Day, starting with 1929. II.
 The loss of valuable forests, notably in the Appenines. and in the lava-stricken zone near Mt. Etna in Sicily, has focused pub lie attention upon the paucity of an adequate wood reserve in Italy. A national committee, headed by Arnaldo Mussolini, the Premier's brother, editor of the Popolo d'Italia of Milan, is doing all it can in the way of propa- ganda to wake up the nation to the necessity of more tree plant ing.
 The date for the Arbor Day celebration in the schools has not yet been fixed, but owing to Mussolinfs disapproyal of too many fete days 1t is ikely that 1t will be made to coincide with some other celebration.

MORE THAN HALF OF MANKIND
STILL uLlTERATE, SAYS EXPERT

Observation-Disclosures percent
of the population of the world is
illiterate, according to James f.
Abel, specialist in foreign educa-
ton in the United States Bureau
OF Education, in an investigation
just completed that indicates the
huge task yet before those inter-
ested in advancing the progress Of
civilization.
The number Of i~lliterates is
more than $50, 900, 900, nearly half
of whom live in Asia. Africa rates
second among the continents with
SO, 000,G GOO who have not had even
the barest rudiments of education.
North America comes at the end
of the list with about 4,300, 900 il
literates.
The area of least ~illiteracy in
the world is in western Europe.
and for the most part, along the
shores of the North and Baltic
seas Denmark, Norway, Sweden
and Switzerland claim to have lit
tie or no illiteracy among their
peoples, and census checks in 9TH
er countries to which their citi-
cent have migrated seem to bear
out their claims. All four Of these
countries have good school sys-
TENS, and both public opinion and
the law require that the children
attend.
Another advantage these ma
tions have in their eradication Of
illteracy, according to Mr.. Abel,
is that they have very little Inn
migration and all have maintained
national governments long enough
to be responsible for the status Of
literacy within their borders. AS
a consequence their il~literacy rate
is undoubtedly below two percent.
While the United States is the
only country having a population
of more than 100, 600, 900 that has
an illiteracy rate below ten per-
cent, the measuring stick for il
literacy here is not so accurate as
it is in some of the countries of
Europe and even of Asia.
India, for instance, requires the
person tested to be able to write
a short letter to a friend and to
read the answe In the United
States census takers merely ask
the person whether he can read
and write. This decreases the per-
centage figure in the United
States since some illiterate per-
claim to be able to read.
Ninth Annual American Educa-
ton week is November 11-17.

LOCAL GROCERY Wins
PLACE IN BIG CONTEST

F. j. Neutgens, manager of the
Northwest Service Stores, has re-
ceived word from the Schilling
company of San Francisco, inform
ing them that his store ranks
second in Montana in the amount
of Schilling's products handled
during a period of n year. The
concerns ranking first and third
are located at Great Falls and
Kalispell. This is no small dis
tinction to come to a store locat-
ed in a town the size Of Wolf
Point. 1t is the intention of the
Schilling company to have each of
the three winners write a letter
telling how they sold so much of
the Schilling goods and these let
tiers will be incorporated in a
piece OF advertising that will be
circulated throughout the United
States. incidentally it will adver-
tise Mr.. Neutgens' business and
Wolf Point as well as Schilling's
products.

MORE COD LIVER OIL
FOR POULTRY, LATEST

That cod liver oil is needed in
many poultry flocks in the coun
try is evident from the many in
quiries on nutritional troubles that
are coming to the county extern
sion office. Unthrifty, understood
and slow maturing flocks are com
mon this year and much of this
trouble can be traced to lack of
proper feed.
The main reason for use of cod
liver oil should be to supply the
necessary vitamins which are alb
sent from certain feeds and their
lack is most evident during the
fall and winter months.
The lack of vitamin A which
is found in yellow corn, alfalfa
leaves and all thin leafed veget-
ables produces a nutritional eye
trouble which is very similar to
roup. When vtamin D, which is
found in cod liver oil, leafy veget-
ables and in the suns rays Is lack
ing, an insufficient amount of min
erals, particularly calcium, is de-
posted in the bones, and leg weak
ness results. Lack of vitamin D
causes soft shelled eggs in many
instances.
There are various methods of
feeding cod liver oil, however, the
method most suitable to our con-
dition is to mix with dry mash or
feed with grain feed. One table
spoon full to one quart if mash
is about the correct proportion for
the average flock. For specific
results more cod liver oil should
be fed.
