plete Confidence in State
Tax Commission.

Representatives of Northern Mime
sofa municipalities expressed vote of
confidence" for the state tax commits
sion, according to an announcement
made public by j. q. Armstrong, chair
man of the commission, who attacked
charges made by State Senator George
H. Lommen of Eveleth as wholly and
Intentionally false"
The exception was taken to an ad-
dress by Senator Lommen Friday in
which he claimed mining concerns were
attempting to obtain reductions in
valuation of $44,OOO,0OO by the RE
publican controlled state tax commits
sion"
Lommen contended the United States
Steel Corporation and other large
mining concerns in Northern Minnesota
were principal" sponsors of Earle
Brown, Republican candidate for COVER
nor.
Although iron range municipality
representatives are opposing a 20 per
cent reduction in assessed valuation on
iron ore requested by the mining COM
panies, they expressed complete con-
fidence" in the commission at an execu-
tive hearing last Saturday.
A resolution in which the confidence
vote" was given the commission was
adopted on motion of Victor Essling OF
Eveleth, one of the principal leaders in
the fight by the municipalities against
the proposed reduction.
In adopting the resolution, Essline
asserted the representatives of the
municipalities do not agree or approve
of Mr.. Lommen's charges against the
commission. Essling pointed out the
municipalities only wanted fair de-
termination of the question and did not
wish to be unfair to the mining con-
Germs.
The tax commission in its twenty-five
years of existence has never permitted
political influence of any kind to enter
into any question before that body
! ArmSon asserted.
II challenge anyone to produce evi-
dence of any partisanship by the COM
mission" Armson said. "The commits
sion does not mix any of its busines.
with politics and, furthermore, it is
prohibited by law from so doing.
| Speaking of the political situation
one of the members might be classec
as Republican, Gunnar B. Bjornson
myself as Democrat, and the thirc
member, George E. Wallace, as Far
mer-Laborite.
"The law creating the tax commits
sion prohibits any of the members from
taking part in activities of any politica
party or organization, either directly OF
indirectly"

Allow seams. Basic and fell down the
complete design in sections, as given.
Cut center floral motif from one of the
gay textiles and position and well down
in exact center. Bind edges of round
rug cut from the crib mat
Or use the circular design with
central flower for middle of a quilted
oblong mat and make a border Of a
straight stem, with flowers and short
stems. Cut these units from circular
design and arrange each side of the
straight stem. Make each stem from
length Of textile cut the width Of the
main stem in the circular design and
long enough to extend the full length
of each end of the quilted foundation.
Edges look best when bound with stem
colored textile, although they may be
left as bound for crib pad.
For a spread to match use the cir
cular applique motif, as on the rug for
middle Of the spread, and put a straight
stem and flower border around entire
spread. The design has all units in
right size for either rug or spread. If
patterns are out from traced units on
the pattern sheet, it will leave the
sheet complete for future use. This is
the thrifty method.
If a colored rug foundation is wanted,
the white quilted sateen crib pad can be
dyed. Or two pieces of material with
cotton batting between can be ruled in
crossing diagonal lines and the lines
be run in heavy white cotton, or. better
still, in cotton to match the founda-
tion. Bind edges and the quilted mat
will be ready for decoration with the
applique. There is no easier bedside
or bath mat that can be made than one
OF these, especially when a ready made
foundation is used.

THE quilted bedside rug in which

the cherry tree pattern OF tne
Washington anniversary quilt IS
i used as applique decoration has
proven SO popular with readers
that another design is offered today to
be used similarly. You will remember
that the cherry tree bedside rug was
made to go with the Washington quilt,
making a unique ensemble. as the same
design ornaments each. While this in
sures an artistic completeness Of deco
rative elements, the quilted rug does
not necessitate having a coverlet to
match 1t can be developed in tex
tiles and colors suited to the scheme of
any chamber and form an attractive
mat to be used by a bed. Or it can
also be suited to a bath room scheme
and become a bath mat, following one
of the original antique Persian fash
ions, although in bath rooms of totally
different types.
The pattern offered today can be used
for a hooked or applique quilted mat
The same design in applique can be
used to ornament a bedspread thus
combining the two pieces of spread and
bedside mat in way similar to that
found in the Washington anniversary
ensemble. The circular floral design
for this other ensemble set can be used
for a round rug or an Oblong one. The
circle is used in the center of quilt or
rug and a straight border of matching
pattern is put around the edge, with
the single blossom in center of the rug.
The quilted rug is made by applique
ing the design onto an already quilted
and bound pad, such as comes for in
fants' cribs. Cut the circular design of

to most often and there We will find

So Reddy and Mrs. Reddy kept out
Of Mrs. Lightfoot's sight and where
she did not get their scent, but where
they could keep watch of her. She
browsed over considerable space, some
times in one thicket and sometimes in
another thicket. But when she lay down
it was most often in the thicket from
which she had SO fercely chased them
And it was most often in a certain part
of that thicket. So they were sure that
there was where the babies were hid

They waited until Mrs. Lightfoot went
down to the nearest pool in the Laugh
ing Brook to drink and then once more
searched that thicket. They found no
baby Deer. They found the bed of Mrs.
Lightfoot, but that was all
Il don't believe she has any babies
declared Mrs. Reddy.
But if she hasn't, why should she
care if We enter this thicket? Why
should she drive us away in such a
rage?" demanded Reddy.
II don't know" replied Mrs. Reddy
Perhaps she did have some babies and
something has happened to them and
she has not recovered from her grief
yet"
Reddy shook his head. NO" said he
that isn't it. If she hasn't babies, then
I do not know mother love when I see
it. There is something queer about this
Somehow she has managed to hide those
babies, but how is beyond me. guess,
my dear, we may as well give up
I'VE will have one more careful look"
replied Mrs. Reddy.
They did It was very careful look.
1t included several thickets in that
vicinity, but chiefly that one in which
Mrs. Lghtfoot spent so much time and
from which she had so f1ercely driven
them. The thicket in which the faWnS
were hidden was the farthest from the
one where Mrs. Lightfoot spent most
Of her time and was looked through
very hurriedly. Reddy didn't expect to
find the babies there and he wasn't
disappointed.
So at last the search was given up.
Mrs. Reddy had a narrow escape from
the hoofs of Mrs. Lightfoot and on this
account was the more willing to give
up. Baby Deer might make wonder
full dinner but there were other din
ners easier to get and without danger;
she would be quite satisfied with these.
So, for that matter, would Reddy Fox.
The chief reason for which he hated to
give up was that it was an admission
that Mrs. Mghtf0ot had proved herself
too smart for two of the smartest folk
in all the Green Forest. His pride was
touched.

The little animated leather balls trot

AS they move about, the hunting
habit is begun at once. Their little
tongues flash out and frisk the busy ant
into the waiting mouth. For teeth
there are little white pegs. If alarmed,
one rushes for the tall grass, and he
is some Sprinter. If caught too far

legs and rolls himself into a ball

LITTLE BENNY

Well of all things, always said that
child was precocious, ma said The
things he says are just too killing in
their adult outlook on life. For in
stants the other day the milkman want
ed to collect tritling bill and he asked
Willie If his mother was m, and Willie
spoke up like fash in the pan and
said No, but I am. Can you imag-
inc that, his mother wasn't in, but he
was, can you imagine more old fash
ion rejoinder? In fact he's always
been years in advants of his years, but
imagine him starting to lose one Of
his ferst teeth at his age that really
climaXes the climax, she said.
Maybe in a month or so he'll have
a full set Of wisdom teeth, pop said
Personly I didn't get my last wisdom
tooth till I was 8 years old, and yet I
made some pritty cute remarks at a
very erly age. On my Secont berth
day prying visitor said to me, And
how old are you, my little man? and
without hesitation I replied. My age
for the ferst time in my life is now
divlsible by 2, but anyone performing
that operation would have very little
left for his panes. That visitor never
asked ME another question, pop said.
0 yes, you're marvellous and always
We're, but that doesn't alter the fact
that little Willie has a premature loose
tooth, ma said How long has it been
that way, Benny? she said, and ! said,
Ever since yestidday when he fell on it.
