Stump Me" program. We were to
try to stump Miss Steines by sug-
costing pieces for her to play on the
organ. If she could not play them
she was "stumped.' She was to use
no music and we were to know each
song that we named. The worst of
it was that we couldn't stump her
as often as we liked. It took us
almost forty-five minutes to stump
her four times. It was lots of fun.
Next time we are going to think up
some real hard ones. The worst of
it is that if she cannot play it, we
have to sing it.
Norbert Determan wrote his first
poem the other day. We thought
that it was so good that we are
broadcasting it. He is in the fifth
grade.
When I Was a Boy
When was boy liked to play,
Tramp in the puddles on rainy
day.
I liked to get the cows at night
But milking surely was a fright
I loved to tramp the forest through
And watch the birds as they by me
flew.
I like to watch them build their
nests,
And see which builds their nests the
best.
Johnny Lindeman has been on
the sick list all week. We hope
that everybody is in the best of
health for the picnic next week.
Mrs. Ertl, Eleanores grand
mother, was a visitor at our studio
Wednesday afternoon. We greatly
appreciate the visits to our studio.

our opening exercise periods in
playing do AS I Do and One Thing
More" Some of us do not get as
far as the others but we do the
best that we can. Janette won the
longest game by doing thirty-fve
different things without making a
mistake. That is quite test of the
memory. Little Bill Unger, only
five, did very well by doing twelve
things correctly.

Some of the book racks have been

20 Years Ago
Excerpts From The Herald
Nav 10, 1910

The latest thing in Sank Centre
in a manufacturing line is a factory
for the manufacture of canvas
gloves and mittens. George O'Gara
and Anton Nelson have formed a
partnership under the firm name
of O'Gara & Nelson and have es-
tablished plant that started up
about two weeks ago with four
girls working in addition to Mr..
O'Gara and one of his boys. The
factory is located in the building
in which Mr.. Nelson has for some
years past made cement blocks.
Saturday night there was a
good rain. It was very welcome, as
the ground had become quite dry.
The weather during Sunday was I'M
settled and more or less rain fell.
On Wednesday Halley's comet
crossed the suns disc. From now
on it should be plainly visible in
the western sky early in the eve
ming. About the last of the present
month it will be at its brightest.
Pike fishing is good now in Fairy
Lake, if fishermen strike the right
spot. Last Friday Ed Hansen, Will
lis Dean and Henry Brown spent
part of the afternoon at that lake
and returned to the city about sew
en- o'clock in the evening with a
string of fine pike.
The debt of $650.00 which has
rested on the Congregational church
for some years has been paid off.
Things are now in shape to proceed
with the dedication of the struc-
ture. The date has not been an
nounced, but the dedication will be
about June rs. The members of the

lions, so great is their popularity
She read one of her poems writer

we did the best that we could.
1t is the year 1855. The Station
SHS had sent out a call for all
members of the class of 1880 to at
tend a banquet held in the studio
1t has been just a quarter of a
century since this memorable class
instituted the radio broadcast
ing station SIIS. The studio was
beautifully decorated in pink and
white, the colors of the class. APP
pie blossoms, the class flower, also
helped to make the room a pleas
ant scene.

IS noted on many of the spring
straws-especially on Paris imports.
And brims! They are that pic
turesque, some of them, that they
are almost spectacular. From me-
dunn to enormous dimensions is
their range. Many of them are
beautifully transparent, for the new
lace straws are that airy fairy they
look as if they are too fargile to
be practical. That is where they
are deceiving, fer the lace being
actually made of straw is really
very substantial.
In the instance of the picturesque
creation here pictured, the modiste
has added a halo of transparent
straw lace to the diminutive brim
of an exquisite panamalaque straw
bonnet, the entire being in a radi-
ant brown to harmonic with the
capucine coloring in the chiffon of
which the gown is made. The bow
at the side is of turquoise velvet

Even the close-ftting bonnet

The whirr of the lawnmower and
the click of the pruning shears is
familiar sound in the land. This
means that summer has arrived and
that trellises, arbors, and gates will
soon be half hidden with vines,
flowers, and shrubbery. Then it will
be difficult to paint the places that
are in need of fresh coating-now
is the time.
You may argue that the. grey
white, weather stained pergola will
appear to better advantage when
the foliage twines about it. But
don't forget that the freshness of
the new leaves, together with the
brightness of the flowers scattered
about the garden will contrast viv-
idly with the shabby background
provided by the pergola. Then, too,
when the paint has worn off the
wood, deterioration starts its deadly
work.
The same contrast will, of course,
be evident if fences, gates, lattice
work, and garden furniture are neg
lccted. These garden ornaments are
al so completely exposed on all
sides to the wind and heat, rain
and sun, that weathering is unavoid-
able unless the wooden surfaces are
sheltered with good grade of house
paint or exterior enamel. Sue /
paints are elastic and expand with
the wood which swells and shrinks
in response to fluctuating weather
conditions.
The reason for the unattFaetivt
gaps in lattices and arbors, eausee
by broken off bits of wood here anC
there may be traced to. lack O.
paint. The wood lacking necessar,
protection, soon develops cracks
and even the loveliest vines cannot
always camoflauge the defects. Th'
well -groomed garden should be free
of evidences of carelessness as th'
! home of broken furniture.

DESIRE FOR HOME NATURAL TO
MAN SINCE EARLIEST HISTORY

/ matched English cottage or a pill
Jared Colonial mansion or our own
typical western bungalow, men have
never lost the primitive desire for
home. There is humor and there
is truth TO the comment of sophi-
sticated woman columnist that next
to possessing a new husband or a
new baby owning home is the
most wonderful and thrilling thing
in the world.
Must Weigh Cost
But the modern American family
which is considering practically the
possibility of buying a home must
weigh costs with advantages and
they should weigh them and weigh
them carefully. There is a general
notion that the money paid for rent
is money thrown away as compared
with money expended for the pur-
chase of a home. Such notion is,
of course unsound. The man who
paws money for rent buys with that
money his full moneys worth. But
the family which puts the same
money into an owned home buys
more.
Here are some of the things every
family pays for when it pays its
monthly rent bill:
Taxes, repair sand decorations,
insurance, allowance for possible
vacancy. interest on the investment
represented in the house, the land
lords legitimate profit.
Now let us consider what happens
when the family decides that it will
cease to pay rent and instead be-
gin to make payments on an owned
home. We will go over the list
again:

ing taxes indirectly in every months

The desire for a permanent GEN.
ter for all ones living, for a shell
ter safe from all the world, for a
center for free and happy activity
is probably as ancient as man him
self.
Back in the dim ages, long before
history began to record for us the
story of human events. prehistoric
man found shelter from storm and
cold and the wild beasts in the
caves of Southern Europe and other
Mediterranean lands. That was
ages ago, $4,000 years ago some
scientists say.
AS mans needs grew and he be-
gan to control the situation in
which he found himself, he began
to construct. Probably his first
self-made shelter was a hut made
of limbs fallen from the trees. to
protect him from the hot rays of
the sun or the cold winds from the
north.
Some sense of beauty had dawn
ed in him. On the roof and walls
of his caves, he began to draw
pictures. The bison and the bear
and the wolf, were scratched on
the stone and crudely colored. Maui
rice F. Reidy of Massachusetts, sug-
gests that it was probably his wife
who first suggested II shelf inside
the hut, and then he is sure she in
sisted on having a closet, because
all wives are mad about closets,
and wives in that far away day
were probably as wise and knew
how to have their own way as
wives do today.

Your Own Home


F. M. Bowles, whose genial

it costs less to rent than to own

landlord can afford to rent you
house to live in if this is true.
Because, unless the landlord is

wouldn't be done"
