 ETIQUETTE" 1.-THE BLUE BOOK OF SOCIAL USAGE" Etc.
VALUES FAR ABOVE MONEY

HEAR Mrs. Post: We are invited D out great deal, and why, I don't know. because we have so far not been able to return anything. We do send candy, or sometimes flowers, and book to people we know like these particular things, but outside of that we can't return their dinners, week end and theater Invitations. Ought we to stop ac- cepting these? Oh, if only we had more moneyl
 Answer: One need never return invitation for invitation. The only thing that matters Is to show our appreciation of the kindness shown us In the best way we e.can. In other words, by the book, candy, flowers, or by things costing time and thought and heart, which are often more valuable than things costing merely money. Nor Is 1t at all nec- essary to feel that you are unable to give a party. Remember that young couple living In single room, which has folding sofa-bed, SO that the room can be made into the semblance of sitting room, can perfectly well ask friends they care for (after all, others are of small importance) to come to their "home- in-a-r0om."
 When people do things with mod est hospitality, and fail, 1t is not because of their stlnted means, but because they entirely overlook the fundamental fact that the success of party Is far more dependent upon the spirit of hospitality-actually the spirit of friendliness-than 1t Is upon lavishness of provision.
 Would you know the real secret of successful party-giving? It has not a thing In the world to do with money. It is simply the gift of neter outgro&ing a child's imag- ination. Tn other words, the spirit of Tets pretend' that enters into the play of all children.
 Unless you can enter into the spirit of this hospitality, unless you can delight to have the friends you like share your festival, your party even though 1t. be given in a pal ace with rows of lackeys and a ton of choicest viands-will be but heavy procession of over-richly laden minutes. Whereas, If the en- thusiasm of your welcome springs from innate friendliness-from joy in furthering the delight of good fellowship beneath your own roof you need never doubt that those who have accepted your hospitality once will not eagerly look forward to doing so again and again.

the whipping-post and Is giving him his deserts with a cat-o' nine tails
 Ever since sunrise Daniel Fair field has been standing on the steps of the meeting house with halter about his neck, which he is con- demned to wear visibly throughout his lifetime"
 That is bit" from one of Ma thaniel Hawthorne's sketches of life in old New England. He goes on to describe an aged couple. John Proctor and his wife, Elizabeth. passing, In a company of other con dem ed prisoners, on their way to the execution place on Gallows Hill. If there are two old people in the whole country" he says, "who seem to have led a true Christian life, 1t is this very pair Yet 1t was sworn before the worshipful chief justice that they affrighted children in the nighttime" So to the gallows the good old couple go.
 If you know anyone who casts a longing eye on romantic pictures of former times, who thinks we are un- fortunate to be living In this day and age-anyone who decries mod ern times as giving less opportunity for happiness than "the good old days" of some period in the past tell him or her to read up on the life of that period, not in dry history

Then Buster rushed at the Gobbler family and all the Gobblers sour ried away, each in different d. rection. but they didn't go far. Then Buster rushed this way and rushed that way wherever he saw anyone picking up nuts.
 Mrs. Grouse merely darted behind a fallen tree and the minute Bus ter's back was turned she was scratching over leaves in search of nuts again. Sammy Jay and Red head the Woodpecker merely flew up in tree. Chatterer the Red Squirrel and Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel and Unc' Billy and Mrs Possum climbed the nearest trees.

were enough of those queer three sided little brown nuts under the beech tree for everybody to have all he could eat, and that beach ch-nut pic mic that beautiful Octobel morning should be the merriest happiest kind of picnic. But it wasn't No, sir, 1t wasn't The reason was the piggishness of Buster Bear.
 When Buster arrived under the beech trees and saw so many others gathered there for the very same purpose that had brought him there, he right away let selfishness get the best of him. He was greedy. was Buster Bear. He was so greedy that he couldn't bear to see anyone else get single one of those little brown sweet nuts, although he knew well enough that he couldn't eat all of them to save his life. Right away he began to growl. and you know his growl is deep and grumbly-rumbly and not at all pleasant to hear.
 Those who were nearest him moved off little further, but went right on picking up those brown, sweet little nuts. Buster Bear growled more and his growl was deeper and more grumbly-rumbly. All the other little people looked at him anxiously. but kept right on hunting for those brown sweet little nuts. Then Buster Bear quite lost his temper.
 'These nuts are mine, all mine," he roared.
 Then he ran at Lightfoot the Deer. Lightfoot bounded away. but not far. He knew that Buster Bear could not catch him, and he had no mind to leave those nuts.

TWENTIETH CENTURY
 CHANGES

HEAR Mrs. Post: Please go Into D detail about the etiquette of present-day card leaving. I am of the 90s, when the convention was strictly adhered to, but people are getting so casual about cards and visits that am not sure how much of their old meaning may still ex- ist without "dating" us.
 Answer: Going out in tho after noon, as we used to do, and leav- ing cards at two or three dozen front doors without even asking whether any of those on whom we were leav- ing them were at home, is at pres- ent totally unknown to everyone on the hither side of fifty. Few people even pay party calls except after a first invitation from strangers-and only the rather precisely brought up pay these. There are many oc- casions however, when cards must still be left. First of all, card off, sympathy is left at house of mourning; card of inquiry at a house where there Is serious illness. And of course, people go to see neighbors and friends, and If they find them out, they necessarily leave their cards. Formally, and on strangers, lady leaves one card Of her own and one of her hus- band,s> on each gentleman-just as we used to do. But going to see friends, one usually leaves just one .card of ones own-rand only when they are out. Perhaps can make my answer clearest by saying that carts of empty form would date" usopnmistakably and would be thought absurd by all younger peo- pie. But all cards that have real intention of friendship, or kindli- ness are used today.just as they al- ways have been.
 Dear Mrs. Post My sixteen-year- old daughter would like to entertain about four couples of her own age. They don't play cards Cor most of l.ffien- don't) and-1our house Is too small to. dance. Could my husband and take them all somewhere, and would it be embarrassing for the | boys to let us pay all the expenses? Or don't girls invite boys to go out with them even under those cir cumstances?
 Answer: Certainly your daughter may. give 2 .party-as many as you are willing to let her give-and nothing could be more proper than to have you and her father take her and her friends somewhere. A host ess as well as host should always pay the expenses of the guests whom they have invited.

Church Meeting.

At a special meeting held in the
church basement Monday evening the
local congregation decided not to send
any delegate to the annual national
conference which will be held in Dan
nevang, Texas, this summer. At this
meeting it was also decided to work
two days on the cemetery this summer
instead of the usual one day as there
is much work to be done. 1t was de-
cided to work Saturday, May 25, and
Monday, May 81. The two day plan
was also adopted for the reason that
it often happens that quite number
can not come on one certain day, thus
there is now two days to choose be-
tween; it is not exactly intended that
everyone should come both days, but
it is hoped that there will be full
crew both days. The customary tools
will be needed. and it is planned to
start work as early as possible in the
forenoon. 1t is quite likely that the
ladies will serve coffee in the after
noon as they have done in former
years. So. just remember the days:
Saturday or Monday; and don't for
get to- come.

COOP FEDERATION
is TALKED HERE

About Is attended a meeting in
the D. B. S. hall Friday night, called
for the purpose of discussing the or
ganization of a federation of the CO
operatives in the Askov community.
The meeting was the outcome OF the
findings of a committee selected by
a proposal of the annual meetings OF
some of the cooperatives last winter
and composed of an officer of each
of the cooperatives.
H. r. Buck was chosen as chair
man of the meeting and Ludwig Mad
sen. secretary. The chairman invited
discussion and several in the audi
ence responded, with the general
opinion being conveyed that a mis-
understanding as to the purpose of
the undertaking was entertained.
A Discussion.
" S. Petersen, former AskOv man
and now of the American Farmers
Mutual Auto Insurance Co., of Lake
Elmo. was invited to give his views
on such project and responded with
several suggestions as to the good
it could accomplish and talked con-
siderably from an insurance stand
point Mr.. Petersen recommended
federation of the cooperatives of the
community and stated that it could
be instrumental in sponsoring many
projects beneficial to the community's
social and industrial life; among his
recommendations being cooperative
summer camp, home talent chautau-
qua. and many other undertakings.
Home entertainment keeps money at
home. said the speaker. and continued
that cooperative progress is only pos
sible by study and education.
Other discussion followed and those
in charge of the meeting endeavored
to make clear the fact that a feder-
alton was not meant to pool the re-
sources of all the cooperatives in the
community but rather to have GEN.
trail committee to help each coopera-
tive and to be on the lookout for
any new project which might be to
the advantage of all the people.
Anders Jensen Of Midland Coopera-
tive Oil Association of Minneapolis,
left a good thought by saying that a
! federation could create a feeling of
unity.
The meeting finally accepted var
ious recommendations of the acting
committee in that each one of the CO
operative boards appoint man to
serve on a central committee to look
into the matter and to report at the
next annual meeting of each coopera-
tive. The committee also recon-.
mended that all cooperatives get be.
hind a fair for next fall and that
each cooperative elect board mem
bers not holding office in another
board.
1t was recommended to hold an an
nual picnic with the surplus proceeds
to go to the education fund of centra
committee. Also that the various co
operatives should pool their adver
Using. that every cooperative SHOULD
advertise, and that they should hav,
space in the Askov American by them
selves.
A resolution was passed by thu
meeting to sponsor cooperative
camp.
