casual air-not oStentatiously.

While it is always we'll to have
thanksgiving spirit throughout
the year. it is well to set aside a
certain day for the special purpose
of giving thanks. For this purpose
the President has set aside Nov
ember 80. We usually think of i
as a day for giving thanks for di-
vine mercies only. But we can give
thanks to our friends, teachers,
parents and associates for large
or small favors they have rendered
us during the year.
Giving thanks is a natural tend
ency. We do it every day in some
way or another. We ourselves
like to receive thanks for services
We feel magnanimous and wish to
extend more favors to our fellow
men in return. IF we would all
thank each other for small favors
think what a different world ii
would be!
Thanksgiving for divine mercies,
however, plays the largest part in
our understanding of the word.
Sometimes they may seem hard 70
find but if we search earnestly
we can always find them.
Thanksgiving Day almost al
ways involves a large turkey with
fixings." We can at least be
thankful for this unless We eat
too much. We hope to enjoy our
blessings, our dinner and our va
cation from school!

TAKE BACKACHES
OUT OF CLEANING
Suitable Equipment Improvised at
Home Takes Much Needless
Labor Out of Cleaning Work

Many backache can be removed
from housekeeping operations by
using suitable equipment, says
Gladys Gallup, extension home
management specialist, Washing
ton State college. Simple and in
expensive equipment is usually
best and much of it can be impro-
vised at home. Using the follow
ing Innovations for the different
operations will help to Tighten the
work of cleaning.
For scrubbing a bucket with a
wringer attached is almost indis-
pensible. A convenient platform to
hold the bucket can easily be made
at home by taking piece of board
Is inches square and attaching
small rollers to the underside. Sew
eral cleats can be placed across the
top to hold the bucket in place.
A convenient wall mop can be
made of wool or cotton cloth over
an ordinary broom. One long brush
and several other brushes in diff
ferent sizes are handy for general
cleaning purposes.
Cheesecloth, worn silk, and flan-
nelette usually provide the best
busters. An excellent buster can
be made by dipping pieces of
cheesecloth in two quarts of warm
water to which one-half cup Of
Kerosene has been added. These
clothes are inflammable and should
be kept away from the stove or
lighted lamps. s
Although several good oiled
floor mops can be found on the
market one can be made of old
stockings or any discarded wooden
or flannelette material. The mater
ial is cut into one-inch strips and
sewed across the middle to foun-
dation of heavy cloth. This is fast
ened to an old broom handle or
used in a clamp mop handle. The
mop is dipped into solution made
of one-half cup melted paraffin
and one cup kerosene, and allowed
to dry. 1t may be kept moist by
rolling tightly and keeping in a
paper bag or tin box away from
stoves and lamps.
Last but not least, all broom
and mop handles should have a
hook screwed in the end of the
handles SO that they may be hung
up in a convenient place.

Plenty of fruits and vegetables

spring tonic.
A handful of shot kept in the
pantry will be found quite help
in cleaning the inside of bottles,
jars and jugs. Use the shot with
warm water and suds, and shake
well.
A great deal of time can be
saved by using thumb tacks to
fasten the new cover to the IRON
ing board.
Lining your clothes basket with
oilcloth will aid in keeping the
basket clean.
Wet fur will not mat if brushed
before drying, dried slowly in a
cool place, and well shaken when
dry.
Cranberry jelly sliced and cut in
to fancy shapes with a cookie cut
ter or knife makes an attractive
and unusual garnish for salads and
desserts during the holiday sea-
son.
After emptying a jar of can
ned fruits or vegetables, wash and
dry the jar, put the top on, and
set the jar on a shelf reserved for
the purpose. When canning sea-
son arrives next year, much time
and trouble in gathering and
matching jars and covers will be
saved.
Holidays are happier for the
children if they are given share
in the preparations and festivities
but kept to their regular schedule
of sleep and wholesome food.

"Oh yes they have replied Unc' Billy

tail the Hawk and Mrs. Redtail have
eggs, All am told, pepper the Hyla Is
singinY down in the Smiling Pool and
All can show yo' some early flowers al

enough to look around. But All sho' am
glad to see yo' all. Yes, sub, All sho' am.
Will yo' all build a nest this year?"
Mrs. Buzzard looked at Unc' Billy in
disgust. "Since when did you eyer know
we-uns to build a nest?" she asked. "Ah
never could see any sense in wasting
time that way, and All haven't changed
NAH mind now. All don't believe in do
ing things it isn't necessary to do, and
the Buzzard family never yet has felt it
necessary to build nests. Never could see
what Brer Osprey and Brer Redtail and
King Eagle and Brer Grow want to build

No. sub, All don't. A lot of folks work
so much they never have time to enjoy
life. All may be shiftless, but All
cert'nly know how to enjoy livin. We
uns done agree that doing needless
things is waste of time, and we done
find cut in our family long time ago
that regular nest isn't needed. So why
do a lot of work fo' nothin'?"
To this Unc' Billy had no reply. He
was fond CT or Mr.. BuzZard and Mrs.
Buzzard because they were old neigh

Yes, sir, he thought them lazy. They
didn't build nest They didn't even
catch their food, but lived on what they
could find that others had left.
Lazy" thought Unc' Billy. THAT is
what they are-lazy. But they cert 'nly

telephone, whether you are called out
of the room to answer or not, you say
EXCUSE me" to your visitor, and also
I'm sorry" when you return to your
interrupted conversation. (Under other
circumstances you say one or the
other.)>
my Dear Mrs. Post: have been
asked by j. x. personally to deliver
message to A. Y, a well known actor,
who is a stranger to me and who is
going to appear in play that is open.
ing in our town soon I can't very well
ignore this request but is there any,
thing which would be proper for me
to do?" :.
Answer-It all depends upon how well
you know x and how well K knows
Y. When actors are playing in strange
towns, it is usual for friends of their
own friends to show them whatever
hospitality they can. Therefore, If Y Is
likely to have heard about you, you
might write him a note inviting him
to your house. On the other hand, II
x is little more than an acquaintance,
but you happen to go to the play, you
might leave message written on your
program saying: 'I am a friend of
j. X, who asked me to tell you-"
(whatever it was). And sign your
initials only If he then wants to find
out about you-that is another story!

hen, and though there are some seventy
children twice a year, she takes care
of them ALL
The little earwigs resemble their
parents. They are brown or black, and
are from one-eighth of an inch long
to one and a half inches. OF course,
the older ones are the longest. All day
long, the whole family sleeps, and at
night they creep out to hunt. Each
tiny fellow learns to hide his head
under a wee stone and expose his little
forceps. 1t has been claimed that the
earwig would die of starvation If he
waited for an insect to walk into his
trap Others claim that the pincers
are exposed for the purpose of warning
any six-legged night stroller that the
earwig was merely hunting. Whatever
the reason, it has not been fully de-
cided which Is which.
Plants, leaves and flowers are in
spected by the earwigs. The report was
that in England they destroyed much
foliage. The earwigs do crawl over
plants, but they appear to be hunting
fo- insects, dead or alive.

Earwigs.


TT takes a long time to live down
bad name. The earwig has not sue
II ceeded as yet in proving the re-
i ports about her are all wrong. She
has been accused of creeping into
peoples ears and making them deaf
Once, long ago, it is said, some tramps
lay down on bed of straw and were
awakened by something buzzing in their
ears. Upon investigation amid much
excitement for both the earwig and the
tramp, the insect was removed and
, killed, but the family has been branded
ever since.
The strange thing about this super
stition is that the Dutch, German,
French, Spanish, Portuguese and
Swedish all have the same name for
the same. Yet there is really no truth
in this story.
The interesting thing about this fam
lily is that the mother Is supplied with
very efficient pair Of forceps which
she uses to catch insects with. She
also has the practice of hiding under
stone or in the sand with the great
nippers exposed. An insect with an in
quiring mind stops to investigate these
strange looking pincers and Is caught
fast. The formidable nippers, when held
aloft and waving about, must look most
menacing to the insects, but when held
open and ready to close on the first in
sect who ventures within them, they
are handy instruments for the owner
at least.
The mother earwig, it seems has to
dig a cave in which to live and here
she constructs large nursery leading
from her own apartment. The reason
for this precaution is that the father
earwig would rather eat his children
than support them.
Another unusual trait of the mother
is to brood her babies like a mother
