MAKE IT YOURSELE:

fashioned hand-Worked sofa pillows are quite smart for Christ mas gifts this year.
 Weaving on monks cloth or any other basket weave material with a big eyed needle and colorful yarn is an ancient craft brought up-to- date by modcrnistic designs to adorn new gifts.
 Use of wool mercerized or cot ton yarn just about as thick as the warp and wool of your cross stitch material. Work with a sim pie stitch that weaves under the material one way and back over it the other way. This completely covers the material, giving you a thick, rich pillow.
 It is the style this year to do geo. metric designs. Weave them in first with their own colors, and then cover the rest of the. pillow top with red, black, royal blue or gold. or whatever color you are using.
 Since things are used in pairs this year for decorative purposes, if you care to be enGgetic and make a pair of these pillows, any friend should be doubly grateful.

Loves Reawakening The Story of Nife's Triumph Over Jealousy
 By ADELE GARRISON

brought out by the magnificent hol- ly red roses displayed in the box Otto had opened. Rarely have l seen such blossoms, not fully opened, but which would be in perfect bloom upon the morrow. It was an i'm mense box, and there were roses enough in II, judiciously arranged with green to make a bower of my ! living room,
 As it was to be chlldrcn's Christ mas, l had not planned much eX- ponditure for flowers, realizing how large were our other bills. I had ordered q few modest red roses for the dining room mantelpiece and some holly rcd carnations for the living room. But now l could Nisual- iza MT NeritZon's roses in living room and dining room. and the car nations n halls and library, and I telt a gratiiied little thrill as I an tic,patod the lovclncss Of the flow CTS against the Christmas greens.
 But my pleasure was distinctly threaded with apprehension as to Dicky's reaction 10 this third tribute ot flowers to me. l had managed 10 keep him surprisingly good-na- rured through the orchid center piece Of Mr. Neritzens dinner at The sign of the Sciml,ar and the lavish ness Of inc flowers he had provided for Mary's party. But there had been signs that his patience was wearing threadbarc, and I dreaded the mo- ment when his eyes should light upon these flowers.
 Prophetic of Complications
 In the back of my mind also there was apprehension about the cmpha- SIS Mr. Nerirzcn had placed upon the first word when h. said. This isn't your Christmas present Was it possible that he meant 10 send mo something else. something with his usual lalizhness which would arouse Dichy's jealous anger
 I could only comfort myself with the thought that Dicky was not In tho house. or near it. I had remcm- bored whom l had looked inyolun- tariy around for him that he had taken Harry and Lillian 10 The Lcrchc7 70 that We might have the uso Of both cars during thc day and that ho no doubt would stay there for while and enjoy the antics of tho college boys and school girls
 With an effort l pulled myself to- =cther and warmly thanked Mir. Noritzon for the flowers. But l think h. sensed tho disturbance in my mind - he is wonderfulI keen -- end ha took q rather nasty leave, SO much to m, relief that my voice was unwontcdly cordial as | said in part lrC.

 He turned hss r-cs full upon me. and in their depths l saH the be- ginning e a flame
 Do you thtnh I could forget 'hat?" ho asked softly as h. turned away. And l went hack 10 the hang ing Of the greens with the feeling that my Christmas festivities were going to be complicated by tho pres enca among the trimmings of high explosives.

He IS not poor who has friend.
 Peter Rabbit. Peter Rabbit was sitting not far N'rom the old stump whore ne had first heard inc unknown singer in --the Green Forest. He visited that ~old stump very often. He just Couldn't keep ava" from if. In .fact, he went over there every ilme -he was in the Green Forest. Sud denly there appeared on the very tor 1ot 1t small form which Peter ..could not see very clearly. His -heart leaped. Could this be the un- Known singer?

 What have you heard.' asked Peter in his turn.
 That you spend all your time = hunting for a stranger whom no none else has heard or seen," replied Whitefoot "Tel me about it.
 g The thought came 10 Peter that There was an old friend who lived all the time in the Green Forest, and probably not very far from that old stump on which he was now sitting. Perhaps he might know something of that strange singer. For min- ute or two he hesitated to tell Whitefoot the story, for he had been ..laughed at so much and made fun :. of so often that he had become very ss sensitive. But timid little Whitefoot did not seem like one who would s4 tease, so he decided 10 tell the whole a story, Whitefoot listened without -once laughing.

Everybody laughs at me when I tell about it. They say l was dreaming, but l wasn't. I was as wide awake as 1 am this minute. You believe me, don't you White foot"
 Whitcfoot nodded his pretty little head, but there was q twinkle that Peter couldn't see in his big bright eyes as he replied, Yes, Peter, be lieve you really heard what you say you heard. But who could that singer have been?"
 Peter sighed, T wish l knew, , said he. Tt is q mystery and l don't like a mystery. I wish you would keep your ears open. White foot, and if you hear that song, try 10 find out who the singer is. Hello. Where have you gone to?'
 Whitcfoot had disappeared while Peters head was turned just for I second. You know Whitefoot is q very little fellow and he can move quickly. Peter looked about hast fly 10 see if some enemy had frightened Whitefoot, who is very very timid But no enemy was in sight

 REGRETS IN THE FALL

l
 Tickets is a disease Of the cold seasons. It begins 10 increase in the fall. and reaches its peak of prevalence and Of seriousness in March
 If you have an infant in the home. there IS 2 good time 10 begin the prevention of rickcts.
 Tickets is most common during the second half Of the first year of 1 life, and during the first half of the second year
 1 Tickets affects the entire body and makes itself moro manifest in the bony structures. One of the first signs of rickets is the so-called ''rachitic rosary"
 This consists of bead-like swell ings along the front of the chest a little to the side Of where the ribs | join the breast bone. A little later l in the disease the wrists and the ankles become enlarged. the head | takes on 8 square appearance, and the long bones of the arms and legs | become bent.
 Tickets is due 10 defective diet and the lack of sunshine. Hence it's prevention depends upon both these agencies. Cod liver oil, or on prescription one of the recently dis covered substitutes, should be fed to every infant after the first month of it's life.
 The beginning dose Of cod liver oil is three drops of the pure refined i oil three times a day. The dose should be increased so that by the | time the infant is three months of age it is receiving one and one half | teaspoonsful daily. The weather permitting. every in i fant should be daily exposed to the sun. Cold weather should be no bar since only the legs and the arms of the child need be exposed
 Do not wait for tho infant to de velop rickets before instituting this treatment. RlCkets may exist in such mild form as to escape detec- tlon on any but the very closest examination.

OBJECTS TO ADDED
LICENSE OF TRACTOR
Farmers Say New Law Greatly ln-
creases Amount To Be Paid

How to enforce the motor vehicle
laws of the state in connection with
farm tractors and engines is one OF
the difficult problems confronting
Secretary of State Grantland.
Up to the passage of the last leg
islation enacted by the General AS
sembly last winter, the farmer own
ing a tractor or engine was accus-
toned to paying $5 license fee. But
the last Legislature changed the
law, and it now reads that the tar-
mer shall pay for the tractor or en-
gine license by weight. Here is where
the difficulty arises because the tar-
ner does not want to pay the aoueu
fee under the new motor Vehlcle
code.
Several groups have appealed TO
Secretary Grantland, seeking TO
have him interpret the law that
would enable them to get of with
the payment of a S. license fee. Mr.
Grantland does not see the matter
that way and is endeavoring to col
lect the right fee.
The owners of tractors and en-
zines have now asked him to take
the matter to court, and obtain a
ruling there. But again Mr.. Grant
land feels that if there is any appeal,
it should be made by the farmers.
