Heather for Calendar Trim

BY popular request Miss Brown had agreed
to tell the members Of the Hobby Club how
to make an attractive calendar.
I'm Scotland. you know, finding white heather
Is an omen of coed luck" she explained. I'm
Northern Canada, where it grows in profusion,
the Eskimos use it for fuel.
"Once when I was camping in Northern
Canada, my brother and I were out hiking.
and we were lost AS we were wondering which
trail to take, We came upon patch of white
heather.
Say, Harry, we'll light a signal fire with
this heather, and the others will either shout
or light reply beacon suggested
Great idea, agreed Harry, as he helped me
light the fire. In few minutes to our JOY q
response beacon fared up which guided us
back to camp. I gathered some of the white
heather as a souvenir, and pressed it when
got hcme.
ct was going through store about New
Years day when the calendar idea flashed
through my mind. bought fair-sized plain
photo mount (obtanable at stationers or drug
stores). On the middle of this pasted a snap
shot of the North woods and surrounded it
with sprays of the white heather, also pasted.
I covered the snap and heather with a square
of hlmy chiffon (any color viii do, but white
Is most effective) and pasted this neatly round
the edges Of the photo mount. At the foot I
pasted on q printed calendar slip which can
be obtained in small sizes from any stationer
or drug store
."n you have no snaps or pressed flowers,
another original calendar can be made with
q plain photo mount this way. Draw q spray
of flowers in the middle, then color it while
wet. sprinkle very lightly with artificial frost
which you can get at any toy, drug, or sta
uonery store. II you cannot draw, iron on an
embroidery transfer, color the spray of flowers,
and finish as here directed. Following these
directions, it is easy to make q calendar with
an original touch which will please your
friends"

THE wool raiser among the agriculturists. at

was the demand for raw wool in August, the
purchases exceed by 100000 pounds the aver

fight. The rufhan's body went limp
on top of the sheriff, who pushed it
- aside with an effort, and got dazed-
ly to his feet. He staggered slightly,
shaking his head then seemed to regain his
senses. There was trickle of blood over his
right eye, and his lips were cut and swollen.
For a moment he looked at the boys, then he
placed hand on each of their shoulders.

THE BIGGEST MOVEMENT

The Leisure Hour clubs of this city seem destined
to become the most important Organizations of this
city
started under the inspiration Of furnishing FUN
without money" they are now widening the scope
Of activities and are fast becoming the centers of
cooperative training for the new era.
In one of the centers there is a return to barter
where people may trade articles they do not need
for something they desire.
That Is the old spirit of neghborlness which
furnished the foundation of study character when
this country had character, and was not led astray
by thoughts of inordinate wealth and greed
That was the custom and habit of people who
built tkis nation and made it great
That was the spirit which was lost when people
began 10 buy their entertainment and pay for some
one to amuse them.
Ihese are the contacts which bring people closer
together and make for real spirit Of brotherhood
And democratic government is only possible
when people have common aims, common sympa-
thies and common purposes
The real trouble today is that this country divided
INTO classes when there came into our social struc-
ture marked distinctions because of money.
Inc nation was strong only when there was an
approximate democracy of material resources
~ Desan 10 weaken When there came into exist
ence moneyed class, a working class difference
in social status of those who worked and those who
prohted by the labor of Others
The Leisure Hour Clubs of this city may lead
us back to saner thinking and saner living
If the clubs become centers of community think
ing they may become the inspiration for community
action on important things. They may even become
as dangerous as the head Of one of the utilities
suggested they would-dangerous to plundering in
fuences because people may talk about their own
affairs and away from the restraining influences
OIL those who have exploited them
II you have no Leisure Hour club in your own
vicinity look up Dwight Ritter and ask him to help
you form one. You will find your neighbors pretty
decent folks when you become acquainted.
