HAVE NORTH-SOUTH A GAME
CALL?
FREQUENTLY it is difficult
to judge off-hand whether or
not a side has a game call. In
the hand shown it is evident
that game cannot be made at
either spades or no trumpS.
What about hearts or dia-
mondS?

for evening, too, as you can
see, and the dark colors, brown
navy and black, are the smart
est. This dress also looks
rather tailored, with buttons
up the front, and a little col
lar, but the ruffleS over the
shoulder again give a feminine
look, and the buttons are gilt
terry, which is also feminine.

GROWING WITH YOUR CHILD
Vacation for Mother

You know I'd love to go with
you, Ida, but Jack and the children
could never get along alone. Why
he'd be absolutely helpless If any
thing should go wrong-Of course
I'd take Rnthy with me; she's only
four"
"A vacation from your family
doesn't mean taking part Of them
along, Mary. My invitation doesn't
hold good unless you leave all the
children here"
But If I worried about Ruthy
every minute of the time I was
away, what good would the vaca-
ton do me? OF course I suppose
] could get some one responsible
to stay with them"
Most families admit they must
work like coal beavers to persuade
mother to take a vacation from
them, and then, even If she does
go to the lake, to her old home, or
to visit a friend for two weeks, she
takes the youngest Of the children
with her. Or perhaps she foregoes
ner vacation entirely.
The family Of the mother dis
cussed In the beginning Of this ar
ticle took the situation into their
own capable hands and she was
swept along, although reluctantly,
on their enthusiastic plans for her
absence. Nonsense" her husband
said when the subject Of having a
housekeeper was preached. "Weu
manage by ourselves; it will be
good experience for U.S." Jane, sew
enteen, begged to be allowed to run
the house all on her own just once,
and the boys were so reassuringly
CO. operative that even her qualms
melted away.
They're planning on it so, de-
I don't think I'd dare
change my mind now" she told
her friend.
There was a bad moment at the
station when Ruthy chung fearful

Dad, when he was putting his
to bed that first night. AT

with her child. She knows the rap
turous delight Of fearless enjoy
ment Of the water, of learning new
swimming strokes, and she knows
too, when there is actual danger.
The timid mather, sitting help
lessly on shore, anxiously watching
every move Of the young bathers,
unable to see how deep the water
Is where they are, calls out repeat
ed warnings. The children, know
ing that they are safe, feel that
such unreasonable fears hamper
their play, and that mother doesn't
know anything about it anyway.
since she Is too timid to venture
out beyond the depth OF her knees,
and SO they ignore her frantic
calls.
They are right. Mothers often
hamper children with their own
timidity about such things as SWIM
ming, thunder storms, and climbing
fences. Those mothers have prob
ably never had a chance, in their
own childhood, to learn the use Of
their muscles In a normal way, or
they have developed unreasonable
fears through some unfortunate ex-
perience, long forgotten, which oc-
Cured in their childhood.
Well-intentioned adults, in their
desire to teach their children to
swim, often do things that set up
in those children an aversion or
even a terror Of the water which
will last throughout their lives.
Never force a child into the wat
er. Holding a struggling, frighten-
ed child in the water, or suddenly

went swimming every day, but the
nine-year-old girl would go In only
as far as her knees. That was
all the progress she made the en-
tire summer, and her mother wise
ly refrained from urging her any
farther; the others were instructed
to pay no attention to her. The
following year, the child had appar-
emily overcome her fear OF the wat
er, and now swims as well. and
apparently with as much enjoy
ment, as her young cousins.
Adults and older children have
perhaps more handicaps to over
come mentally than younger chill
dren learning to swim, because they
have heard of people drowning,
even in shallow water, and they
think more about the possible dang
ers, and the things they probably
cant" learn although other peo-
pie learn them. Children do not
have so many doubts about their
own ability to learn to do new
things, but when they are afraid, it
Is with a vague, terrifying fear.
Young children should, Of course,
be watched closely in the water.
When they shiver, the water Is too
cold for them. See that they run
on the beach every so often to
warm up thoroughly.
If the fodder is hanging onto
you, taking exploring steps farther
and farther out into the water, be
careful that he does not fall, or
suddenly find you at some distance
from him, or your good work up
to them will be lost and you will
have to begin all over again.

one. will set up just such a dis
like, or even terror, of the water.
Like everything else we teach the
child, we must be sure that his first
associations with the water are
pleasant we must let him take his
own time in learning its use. OF
course we've all heard Of someone
who learned to swim by being
thrown into the water, but such an
instance is rare; usually the pro-
cedure will set up a terror Of wat
er, difficult to overcome.
Dress the toddler in a bathing suit
and let him play on the beach with
sand shovel and see what a good
time the other children seem to
have running In and out Of the
water. Then hold him in your arms
and let his feet play in the water,
or If he is willing, let him wade
out-but no farther than he him
self wishes to go. When he be-
comes frightened, or wants to 60
back to the beach, don't try to get
him to remain in the water.
Be very careful that no one
frightens him about the water. eau
ton all the other children and
adults in your party to let the child
alone and not to urge him into the
water.
The same rule holds for older
children. One mother, herself,
good swimmer, taught the boys in
her family to swim, but found the
daughter excessively timid. When
the daughter was nine years old,
the family spent the summer with
cousins who were able to swim

townships have found 1t impossible
to pay their way, the result Of tax
delinquencies and lower valuations.
The recent legislature passed law
compelling county boards to dis
solve all townships in which the
assessed valuation had dropped be-
low fifty thousand dollars, where
tax delinquency amounted to fifty
per cent, or where the state has
acquired title to fifty percent Of the
real estate. In some townships all
three deficiencies are said to ex-
list. The proceeding likely will be
beneficial to distressed taxpayers in
the county affected.

Looking Back
Through Time
Excerpts From The Herald Thurs

terest Of Twenty Years Ago

r. L. Palmer, who with his fam
lily Is now occupying his cottage
at Spring Park, has sold his lease
Of the Buchanan Hotel at Little
Falls. The Brown Hotel Company
took over the house July II. Mr..
Palmer is conducting negotiations
for hotel in St. Cloud.
Allow us to calculate that she
was some battle Sunday, although
in the first stages of the game it
looked as If Glenwood were trying
to undo the mistake she made in
taking our athletes into camp the
the foregoing Sunday. Sank Cen
tire won this game 8 to z.
Miss Ida Moberg, Of this city, had
narrow escape from death at Fer
gus Falls last week Thursday.
While crossing the Great Northern
railroad track at that place in q
buggy with a relative, Mrs. Amelia
Peterson, a freight locomotive run

the vehicle. The occupants were
thrown to the ground and bruised,
but not seriously.
Things are coming fine for the
1913 Stearns County Fair. The out
lay Is excellent. General damis-
sion tickets for single day were
fixed at so cents each; children un-
der six years free; children between
six and twelve years Of age, 25c.
Stearns county Is to have fine
lot Of high grade public highways.
The county commissioners have
said 1t and what they say they al
ways mean, and what they say
goes" At their recent meeting the
commissioners ordered a 10-foot
Adams grader and an Sfoot ma
chine of the same make, also two
"three-way" road drags. The COM
missioners will have something like
$4,000 to expend on the roads un-
der the Dunn good roads law, pass
ed by the 1913 legislature and pro-
pose to see that it Is spent right.
This issue is the last one to be
published by A. M. Welles. Next
week A. N. Wallace will be the ed
itor. Mr.. Welles in an editorial
states: II take great pleasure in
presenting him to the good people
of Sank Centre and vicinity as my
successor. The cabalistic "a. NJ.
W." still sticks to The Herald, but
the "W' now means Wallace. A. M.
Welles."

Osakis slipped back into tie for
