If the coming Rose Bowl game is as
close as the caliber of the contestants
indicates, either or both teams may
be blasting away for field goals before
the battle is far along. Three points

TN THE eighth inning Doyle grew
good-natured and took S480 for
the bet. His friend hustled off to
the station. A few minutes later that
Incorrigible character known as Home
Run Baker smacked one of Matty's
pitches into Northeastern New Jersey
and won a ball game that would have
cost Doyle $500 if his playmate had
waited around to collect.
One of the worst shellackingS in base
ball history was suffered by Elmer
Davis, the writer, and it had nothing
to do with a bet. Mr.. Davis was de-
stroying peanuts blissfully at the ball
game one afternoon when Liberty
magazine decided by a last-minute
switch to award him the prize in its
scenario contest. But time was press
ing and Mr.. Davis was at the ball
game. The magazine and the movie
people stalled around a bit. Then
they awarded the dough to Fannie
Hurst, who counts among her many
virtues the ability to stay away from
ball games. That one contest cost Mr..
Davis $50 900 in real money.
Base ball pools are not so exciting
or interesting as straight betting, but
they yield handsome profits to the
operator. The famous Albany pool,
politically controlled, used to do so
well that its hackers could send S25 900
or $4,000 down to New York City
simply to be bet on one team or
another in the world series.

The measle epidemic is over, and
the children are back at work
again. Tuesday Feb. 20 was a per-
feet attendance day.
line children are looking forward
70 Thursday afternoon when they
viii visit the library. At this time
they will look over the children's
books which are arranged on low
shelves which they can reach. There
are many books already out on the
table for them to use. A list of
books Is being taken which each
child takes home and has read TO
him. Some children have had as
many as fifteen books read to them.
We hope all the children will soon
begin to take library books home.

other fine Calendula is Golden Ra-
dia Of deep brilliant orange with
beautiful grilled petals, large fiow-
ers on stout stems. Lovers Of this
flower should try these.
Clarias send up a mass Of slender,
upright branches reaching about
two feet in height, each branch
covered nearly the entire length
with buds and flowers, resembling
sprays Of Towering almond. II
these sprays are cut before buds
open, these will last until all Of the
flowers have developed. They are
very satisfactory for table decora-
tions.
Clarkia Enchantess Is a beautiful
new shade of salmon-rose, very
double. Flowers in a very short
time after sowing.
Lovers Of annual peoples might
do well to try Double Shirley Sweet
Briar''o T deep rose pink, very
double. resembling a very large
double Begonia. Annual poppies
should also be cut quite early TO
make them last longer as cut flow
ers.
Hunnemonia or Tulip Poppy is
seldom seen but lovers Of peoples
are missing another treat If this
flowed has not been tried. It
blooms early after sowing, blooms
all summer. In the far south 1t is
a perennial. A new variety has al
so been developed in this, called
'Sunlite." Grows eighteen inches in
height, blooms July to September.
Is Of a beautiful canary yellow col
or, 3 inches across. Unlike other
double flowers, 1t develops a band
Of short petals on the outside of
the cup, which adds to size and at

Scabiosa loneliness while not en-.
tirely new, have not been tried by
everyone so 1t still will rank as a
new flower with those hitherto
content with the older sorts. Love-

growing 2 to IN feet high, literal

brilliant orange, semi-double and
loosely ruffled. Is an excellent
keeper, color beautiful golden, and
ideal for cutting. The characters
tic marigold odor is less pngent in
this new sort. Blooms all summer.
We expect to have another flower
show in Sank Centre. Judging
from other communities, the peo-
pie Of Sank Centre and vicinity
have been taking an interest that
bids our show to surpass those held
in other places Of like size or larg-
or. Shows are also judged by the
quality as well as the quantity Of
flowers shown, and by growing
new and improved varieties when
they can be obtained, will add to
the pleasure and profit derived. It
Is a hobby that gives Joy to both
mind and heart, makes us more
tolerant and sociable with others,
with whom we become better ac-
quainted. After all, the other Is
much like ourselves, not as bad af-
ter all.

in most cases, transplanting, this Is
an asset to q better garden.

GROWING WITH YOUR CHILD
It's Too Hard for Me

t1eien was an ali-drOunQ SOOO
student, and she was proud Of all
the A's and BIS on her report
cards (Which so far excelled those
of her brothers). Helen was also
over-sensitive, and a bit inclined to
place too much emphasis on her
studies.
The first card she received after
being out for long spell Of illness
showed on its clean white surface
three neat AS two B's-and a Fail
ure' in spellingl Helen was heart
broken. tits the first failure I
ever got" she sobbed, I'm a dis
grace to the family"
II think it's silly for you to cry
so when you got such excellent
grades in your other subjects, "her
mother comforted," still, I'm sure I
don't see how you could have fall

usually did when he looked over
Dicks report card. II don't like
it at all; are you stupid or just care
less?"
Jaw gee. Dad, that's no fair.
worked; really did. don't know
why spelling Is SO hard for me.
Look at Jane; she never opens her
book at home. and she always gets
"S' in spelling. She spells by ear.
I guess, like she plays"
Dick didn't know why spelling
was so hard for him, when 1t was
so easy for Jane. Nor do many peo-
pie understand that spelling, like u
bent for music or art, requires spec
ial ability (that Is, It is inherent
rather than learned), and that 1t Is
not closely tied up with intelligence.
Psychologists who investigated
why spelling seemed to come ma
turap to some people and who stu
died the best ways Of learning to
spell, discovered that spelling was
different from many school sub
jects, that 1t was as pecial ability.
Just saying a word over and over
again does not fix 1t on the mind.
Many children read and readily
grasp the meaning Of words, yet
they are poor spoilers.
Slight defects Of vision or hearing
are often the clue to childs poor
marks in spelling. Sometimes 1t Is
the child's habit of mispronouncing
words, such as saying "heighth" in
stead Of height" or Numbered
instead Of hundred" Some chill
bred, slow and awkward writer's,
are upset when they must hurry to
keep up with the dictated spelling
test.
When we hear our child's SPELL
ing lesson. we can help him a little
by pointing out how the word is d.
vided into syllables. we can empha-
size suffixes and prefixes; we can
make helpful associations with
words, such as calling attention to
the pal" in principal" we can
make sure he understands the
meaning Of all the words In the
spelling list.
Being a good speller Is Of course
less important than being good in
reading or mathmatics. Yet here
again, mastery Of the mechanics OF
reading, or Of the calculating pro-
cesses of arithmetic are Of less pre-.
dictive value than the ability to
comprehend what is read, and to
solve problems that require think
ing and analysing.

BOY SCOUT
ACTIVITIES

Very much interest is being
shown in Scouting both by the
Scouts and by the grown-ups. The
Scout Masters and Committees are
already laying definite plans for
hikes and outings in the spring and
summer and for Scout Jamborees.
These added activities will do much
to give the Scouts a broader field
of experience and to promote i'd
vancements.
District chairman, Roy Scott, has
been working hard the past couple
of weeks to arrange Scout Jambo-
rees with troops from neighboring
towns. This will be a valuable ex-
perience for the local Scouts be-
sides providing much entertain
ment and fun.
The Scouts Of both troops called
at the homes last Saturday and
Tuesday collecting clothing and
household articles which will be
later distributed to the needy. The
troops handled this in a very eff
fcient and satisfactory manner.
The Scouts wish to thank the peo-
pie for their courtesy and for their
help to carry out this part Of the
presidents relief project.

The troop at their meeting Thurs
day night very appropriately put on
short Washington birthday pro-
gram. Selections were read by Mer-

chairman, was q visitor. He gave a
very inspiring and timely talk TO
the Scouts. DR.. Kettlewell Is an
experienced Scout, well versed in
Scouting and very ably put before
the Scouts some thoughts on what
Scouting is, what 1t stands for, and
what IL expected of Scout. We are
sure that all the Scouts benefited
by DR.. Kettlewell's talk and that
they will strive to live up to sug-
gestions made.
First aid demonstrations were
put on which was very nicely hand
led by Mickey Hanson.
