BETWEEN MEALS

EUROPEANS usually eat more
IL meals a day than we do, but
Americans have won for them
selves the reputation of eating be-
tween meals. The American can
ask in amaZement how the Eng
liSh women can eat bread and but
ter sandwiches and tea every after
noon at four and then be ready for
dinner at seven or half past, while
the English woman can be justif-
ably amazed at American motor
lists who stop for ice cream in the
course of a morning motor ride.
The habit of eating between
meals is usually acquired in child
hood and in many cases is due to
insufficient or inadequate provision
at regular meals. Some children
crave between meals as a result of
sheer boredom. The child whose
vacation hours are occupied with
cOngenial tasks or absorbing games
will go from breakfast until lunch
time without thinking about food.
The child with nothing to do is
pretty sure to appear in the kitch-
en- by ten or eleven asking for
bread and jelly, a piece of cake or
something else that is sure to take
off the edge of his midday appe-
tite.
Doctors usually insist that for
the child over five or six three
meals day are adequate-insist-
ing on no between meals. Actually
three meals a day frequently fail
to satisfy. When this is the case
a definitely arranged snack at ten
in the morning or a regular four
o'clock "tea"-cOnsisting of bread
and butter and milk or fruit juice
is far better than between meals
taken at random.

Jumper nodded in his turn. "And

to call him to where they are hid

as they initiate the calls of my

THE GOING
TOERS
BY DOUGLAS MALLOCH


THE day has need of many a
u deed,
The world has duties great and
small,
There is not one, if promptly done,
That does not help, and help US
all.
But there are some to whom they
come
Who try TO make a virtue, too.
OF dreams they dream, of things
they scheme,
The things that thy are going to
do.
They promptly tell how wisely, well,
They mean to live some later day,
But every task that life may ask
Is ours to do, and right away.
They like to boast of things al
most,
The work they never carry
through,
Things partly done, or not begun,
The things that they are going
to do.
Yet things unmade and things de-
layed
Are not a virtue. but a sin.
There is no worth in things OF
earth
We talk about, but not begin.
And, at the'least. when life is past,
And heaven strikes the balance.
too,
The things we did will all be hid
By things that we were going to
do.

PLATFORMS TROUBLES

Hn I'D l understand you to say

of Honker the Goose, who had just
come down from the Great Woods

was so worried that he was think

because he didn't feel that they

"Why nOt?' demanded Peter Rab-

and his long ears standing straight
up with interest. rs he afraid of

Buster Bear, HOnker. Paddy the
Beaver, Prickly POrky and Jumper
the Hare laughed right out. "What
do you think FlathOrns is like?"
asked HOnker.
Il haven't the least idea" replied
Peter quite frankly. you said he
is big, but so is Buster, and he is
afraid of traps. | don't see anything
to laugh at"
There isn't" replied Buster
kindly. at just struck me as
funny to think of anyone setting
traps for old Flathorns, but as
you've never seen him, of course
you wouldn't understand He's big

Chic Accessories Which
Add Touch That Tells

AS every style-wise woman
knows, it is not the frock or the
suit, so much as the upkeep, mean
ing the accessories which glorify
the costume which counts most in
the budget these days.
Speaking of accessories, in as
sembling them, a good starting
point is to remember that fashion
makes color contrast the outstand-

by the interest in her French colo

to wear chalk-white jewelry than

Old Gardener
=-==========e.=....===Sdys:=

Rock gardeners searching for
choice plants should not overlook
the lilies for there are several low
growing kinds that are perfectly at
home in such gardens. One of the
best is the Siberian coral lily, which
rarely exceeds a height of two feet
and has lovely deep scarlet, although
very small flowers. Groups of the
Elegans lily, particularly the
dwarf variety, Prince of Orange,
are excellent in the rock garden,
and Lillum concolor is so hardy
that it will thrive in Canada. These
lilies should be planted the COM
ing autumn.

coming into our little city to vie for business
knowing we'll that each new business en-
terprise will attract more people to come
here to live or to do their trading. They know
that no one business firm can control all of
the business dealings of these new patrons,
but that it will be divided fairly on an equit-
able basis. Each new business firm is given
the glad hand of welcome and brought into
the circle Of business fellowship.
Just recently another enterprise was
added to Plentywoods expanding CONNER
cial life, in the form of new bakery-a
bakery that we are all proud of, as it would
be credit to a city ten times the size of
Plentywood, bakery where electricity is
used for preparing all the various foods for
the electric ovens The baker is an expert
and knows his business from A to and the
many tasty and appetite creating foods that
are in display in the modern show cases is "a
temptation to any epicurean.
Let us now cooperate and show to this
new bakery the same cordial business rela-
ton which we have always accorded other
new business institutions Let us give them
our business in preference to foreign con-
Germs who seek to break in here with their
bakery goods. We have two good bakeries
here, and we should consider them first
Plentywood herald., 1931-05-28

In Plentywood we have many business
enterprises that enjoy the good will and pa
tronage of the local residents and whole
hearted cooperation is found almost at ev-
cry hand, and for this we are truly proud.
Our people are particular in their tastes and
demand the best their means can afford, and
especially is this true in the matter OF food.
Some of our residents have very change
able appetite and are always seeking for
some other brand to appease their hunger.
If they hear of something new in the line Of
groceries, and it may be only new name to
an old time tried food product, they shuck
off the old and doff the new.
In most instances our business people
stand shoulder to shoulder in their fight
against the encroachment of disinterested
non-tax paying businesses coming here to
compete with local industry. They fight and
Justly so, against catalog houses that do not
care anything about local institutions, as all
they are after is the dollars that are cleaned
by our thrifty and hardy farmers and towns
people. They know that if the town goes to
the eternal bow-wows the rank and file of
those who have patronized these shoddy
houses will move to greener pastures and
usurping someone elses right to the busin-
ess, will again repeat their old tactics of pa
tronizing concerns in Chicago, Minneapolis
or other far away marts of trade. Every time
one of our residents sends away for some
thing he may save few cents on each dol
lar purchased, but does not stop to think that
our local business men contribute heavily to
all charitable organizations, and make our
local communal center worth while places
for the people to dwell in; to educate their
children; to seek spiritual uplift through our
churches, and where the business men are
always charitably inclined to give generou-
ly to any project which may further contri-
butte to the welfare of the citizens within the
city as well as for the entire trade commun-
ity and to attract other business enterprises
to come to our city Our business people
are utterly unselfish in this, they invite com

PLENTYWOOD'S AIRPORT

The Plentywood Air port is now in
fine condition as the boys who are devoting
so much time to fixing it up now feel that
they have done their part and it is now up to
the aviators to come and make use of it.
Those who have been indefatigable and un-
firing in working to perfect this port are
Iaral Thorstenson, Clarence Kienast and
Spike Knutson They have always enlisted
many helpers so that the work has progress
ed very fast.
Last Sunday they spread lot of lime
on the runways as we'll as the central hub
but a lot of young folks who do not realize
they are doing lot of damage are driving
over the runways and central hub with their
cars and completely undoing all the expens-
i've work recently made there.
An air port is not intended as a race
course for automobiles or even to be used
by pedestrians and those who have been
driving out there to enjoy the nice level run
ways with their cars, are requested to keep
off the air port field from now on, as by
their thoughtless driving they may cause
bad landing for some aviator with possibly
damage to the plane as we'll as personal in
jury. Another thing this may cause also is to
put our air port in bad repute as being used
for face course or loafing place for folks
who have no right there whatsoever.

and basement which will in the or
dinary run of events nicely take care
