Seems that the American people are
restless and must be on the go but we
often figure the money bush of other
sections has been shaken SO often that
the crop has been harvested, SO guess we
had as well stay in Holmes, the land of
hog and hominy, the land of the free
and the home of the brave, where we
can eat if we have grub and if we
haven't, we can visit our mother-in-
law"

The pedestrian is regarded in some
quarters almost as an anachronism. This
is the day of speedy transportation,
when street cars and automobiles are
used for short distances and little err
rands as well as for activities covering
greater distances. The occasional NOR
tai who not only has no car but who still
honestly enjoys going about his days
business on foot is therefore frowned
upon. He is deservedly frowned upon
when he walks carelessly on highways.
1t is true that too little provision has
been made along motor routes to take
care of those who must walk that way
Perhaps in time there will be suitable
little paths or sidewalks which are not
prohibitively expensive, but which will
separate the walker from the driver.
In the meantime, the walker can take his
own problem more seriously and solve
it with more generosity toward the mo-
torist. If THERE is no footpath the pc
destrian would be we'll advised to walk
on the left, so as to face oncoming We
hicles and be the better able to assume
responsibility for lodging them. This is
particularly important at night. Pedes-
trians abroad after dark would only be
playing fair if they carried lanterns or
small warning lights of some sort.

Now the public health officials are

same attitude toward pure air that they

Keller contributes real fun to this alto
gether serious business by interpolating the
deliberately drawn-out theory of crime, pursuit
and detection. A farcical half hour that sounds
not greatly different from many of the serious
lessons on the subject that are occasionally
given out. Indeed, it is by making free use
of his own sense Of humor that this author
adds to the entertainment of the story without
serious damage to the pursuit of crime as 1t is
presented by the ever-popular mystery story.

Wood Grain Guides Painting.

THE question Of painting house is not 90
much the character Of the paint as It is
the character Of the wood, the Forest Service
has discovered after rather exhaustive research.
OF course, for houses already built the ques-
ton is settled and nothing can be done about
it. but for those contemplating building the
findings of the Forest Service experts are in
teresting. The grain Of the wood is of great
importance in painting, the Forest Service in
paint far better than fiat-grained boards.
Among fiat-grained boards, those surfaced
and painted on the bark side (the side nearer
the bark of the log) are more satisfactory to
paint than those turned pith side out because
there is less danger of the grain Smelling out.
Selection by kind of grain is difficult when pur-
chasing many kinds of lumber, however, be-
as a rule only lumber cut from very
large trees can be economically separated in
this way
"Knots and pitch play q large part in the
grading of lumber. Since they give trouble in
painting, the select grades Of lumber which
permit few defects are more satisfactory to-
paint than the common grades. Knots in both
white and yellow pines seem to be more objec-
tionable from the viewpoint Of painting than
sound knots in woods like the cedars, hemlocks,
white FIR and larch.
1.-THE wood of many species varies greatly In
density and texture and therefore in painting
characteristics. Light boards and boards of fine
texture hold paint better than heavy boards
and boards Of coarse texture. Density and
texture therefore afford the most satisfactory
basis for selecting the best wood to paint,
wherever it proves practicable to consider them.

This is Station SHS, the voice of
Sunny Hill School sending you our
weekly program. Jerome Unger is
your announcer for this program.
We had lots of fun this week
playing hide and go seek. The big
gest trouble is that we have not
enough places to hide. The girls
and the smaller ones invented a
new game called Guinea Pig.
The name surely is not suggestive
of the way it is played, but is some
thing on the order of squat tag. At
any rate it is a great deal of fun.
Thursday and Friday we had our
monthly tests. Some of them
thought that they were very easy
and others thought them quite
hard. No one succeeded in getting
hundred yet, but we are not quite
finished yet. Next week we can tell
you who had the highest marks
and the best average.
Miss Steines has been reading us
many fairytales this past week. We
all enjoy them so much.
The third grade reading class
started new readers this week.
Everyone is always glad to start a
new book.
The eighth grade studied Rip
Van Wrinkle and The Great Stone
Face this past week. After some of
these days of hard work wouldn't
we appreciate sleep somewhat on
the order of Rips. Not quite so
long, maybe.

This fall cleaning idea seemed to
possess the most of us Friday. At
any rate, our studio received a
thorough cleaning. All of the cup
boards were gone over, and all the
things that were not considered
just absolutely necessary were dis
posed of. The seats were again re-
arranged so as to afford us more
room. The organ was moved from
a corner which it has occupied for
the last four years. We now have a
reading table. That is one of the
things that we like best.
Monday morning Miss Steines
brought some shelf paper to the
studio and trimmed up our new
shelf for the lunch baskets. It
looks very nice.
Our stove has had a good going
over and we hope that it will now
behave very satisfactorily. An ex-
tension was put on the chimney
so as to make a better draft for
the stove. Our only wish is that it
will no longer indulge in any of it's
old habits.
Friday afternoon we had one of
the most interesting meetings of
the year. You see, plans were dis
cussed for a Halloween program
and party. Alexia and Margaret
were appointed as the program
committee. Norbert and Alcuin are
on the entertainment committee.
After considerable discussion, it
was decided to have a taffy pull.
We are going to tie apples to
strings, too, and try to get them.
The rest of the things were left to
the committee. Next week, we will
tell you how it turned out, and who
got the most taffy on themselves.
Up until the last week we had
only one absentee. The last week
four more names were added to
this list. They were Francis and

Excerpts From The Herald
October 27, 1910

The football team of the Melrose
high school visited Sauk Centre
last Saturday and met defeat at the
hands of the locals, the score being
81 to 0. There was nothing to it
from the Melrose standpoint. The
locals ran over the visitors, scoring
at will.
Word has been received here that
Carroll, the son. of Frank Pangburn,
who recently moved to Courtenay,
N. D., had been kicked by a horse
and will be compelled to use
crutches for a few weeks.
Jacob Botzs auction sale last
Thursday on his farm in Getty was
a success in every way. Mr.. Botz
will move to town soon and occupy
the residence on Birch street which
he recently purchased.
The work on the bay at the foot
of the city park is of high grade.
There will be a depth of ten feet
of water there when the water in
the lake is at the usual stage. The
boat houses are all in line and the
peninsula looms up big. In the
spring it will be laid out in a neat
park and seeded. A rustic bridge
of tamarack poles will span the
channel between the main park and
the addition. The expense of the
entire improvement, which is to be
borne by the city, will be $500.
A blast of winter swept down up,
on Sank Centre this morning, with
snow furries in the air. During
the night the mercury took quite a
tumble and when morning dawned
everything felt like December
Fires and steam heating plants
were put to work and heavy winter
overcoats were dragged from their
lairs and gladly donned.
