Two Impressions of
the Loveliest Things

A school teacher put this ques-
ton to group of children: "What
are the loveliest things you know,
persons not counted?"
Here is the list of one girl: The
scrunch of dry leaves underfoot,
the feel of clean clothes, climbing
up hill and looking down, hot wa
ter bottle in bed.
Here is one boys list: The feel
of running, looking into deep clear
water, a swallow flying, water be-
ing cut at the bow of boat, an

Wives, Know Yourselves!-
a Accurate Analysis Will Do Much to
Overcome Difficulty in Welded Life

If all discontinued wives would
look deeply unto themselves,
measure themselves, stop fooling
themselves, many might discover
that the other man they might
have married is a self-nurtured
illusion; that the career of their
dreams is not a soft snap and
joy forever; but grueling, ex-
hausting job which might have
worn them out if they had quail
fed for it, which they probably
would have been unable to do;
that they themselves are neither
devastating beauties nor always
charming, but women who are
frequently disappointing and diff
cult to live with. They might dis
cover and admit to themselves
that they are greatly in debt to
their husbands for many things
that make life easier and better
and more northumberland they
would not get along so well with
out them.
Then they might think more Of
doing their part of trying to make
those husbands happy. And that
effort on the part of one must in
evitably go a long way toward a
mutually happy and successful
marriage.

What Luck the Lady

It was the evening of an inter-

ter Of the house, who hoped it
would be son, had been pacing
the floor, anxiously awaiting the
doctor. When the physician en-
tered the room the father seized
him by the arm and demanded:
''Is it boy or a girl?"
"Tr-tr-tr-" gasped the doc
tor, who suffered rather badly.
"Triplets!"
"Qu-qu-qu-" stammered the
doctor.

CPEAKING on the question of
trial marriages, a well known
writer said, "There should be no
need for trial when two people
know their own abilities and have
measured themselves accurately.
Two people who understand them
selves will never, I believe, have
any difficulty living happily to-
gether after marriage"
That is new slant on the ques-
ton of success in marriage, sup
plements a woman writer of ma
tional fame. Not ''Know thy hus-
band' or "wife," but ''know
thyself!"
And, come to think of it, isn't
most of the discomfort and dissat-
isfaction in marriage traceable to
ideas of ourselves-that may be
misconceptions, no less than our
illusions about the other person?
How many women's dissatisfac-
ton with their husband has as it's
source the thought of all they gave
up to marry him, all they Knight
have had" if they had married a
certain other man?
How many women's discomfort
with the role of wife and mother
springs from the thought of how
much more fascinating pastimes
they might have had if they had
followed that career?
How many girls impossible ex-
pectations of fulltime lover and
Prince Charming originates in an
exaggerated notion of their own
devastating beauty and charm?

Change Time
Of School
Day Hours
Experimental Move To Pro-
vide Full Program of
Needed Activity
EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 26
Without Change All Extra
Curricular Activity Would
Be Outside Hours

A new time schedule which be-
gan Monday morning, October 26,
provides for the opening of school
for pupils of grade seven through
to twelve at 1925 a. m. School
closes at 400 p. m. This is an ex-
perimental move on the part Of
the school in order to provide the
full program of activity which Is
needed and to comply with recon-
mendations of the State Depart
ment of Education in regard to
the local school.
The purpose Of this change is to
provide for an activity period Of
thirty minutes of school time, en-
abling us to sponsor additional pu-
pill activity in physical education,
art, club work, publication work,
music, and assembly programs be-
yond the minimum class work re-
quired. This move is being taken
by an increasing number of
schools each year. Some of the
beneficial activities that are being
planned to enhance the school pro-
gram are:
1. Hobby clubs; Arts and Crafts;
Boys and Girls Glee clubs; Dram
atics; Outdoor Athletics; Camera
craft; Sewing; Puppetry; Acroba-
tics.
2. School time for publications
work-Athletic meetings (now held
during noon hour)-Class play
practice; class meetings.; orchestra
practice; private instrumental mu-
sic lessons; practices for assembly
programs.
3. Assembly programs with add
ed student participation; pep tests,
community singing, etc.
Without this school time, all ex-
ira curricular activity will have to
be held outside school hours, which
Is unsatisfactory to good organiza-
ton, arrangement Of meetings and
inclusion of bus pupils. It is a move
to increase student participation in
this very worthwhile phase of the
school life.
Before the morning schedule was
8:40-11:50, afternoon 12:554:05,
school day Of hours and
Is minutes including ten minutes
for roll taking and announcements.
The changed morning schedule is
8 :25-12:0O, afternoon 12:554:OO, or
an increase of Is minutes, making
a school day 6 hours and 40 min
utes. Junior and senior high school
students will be out in the after
noon ten minutes earlier.

Three Firms Suffered
Severe Fire Losses Sunday
Turkey Increase Is
Almost IS Percent
Has Become One OF Leading
Branches of Poultry Industry
In Community

With the Thanksgiving guillotine
being polished for action it was an
nounced that an increase of nearly
rs per cent more birds was expected
in the turkey market this season
This expected increase is anticipat-
ed throughout the entire midwest
say local turkey dealers.
Turkey raising has became one
Of the leading branches of the
farming industry. Today a flock of
seven or eight hundred birds is not
uncommon while a few years ago
1t was considered a stable flock.
Many of them now run into the
thousands Of birds carefully raised
and fed to appease a demand for
finer birds. Northern Minnesota
was formerly the turkey raising
region of the state, but this season
it is expected that the southern
sector will supercede it in furnish
ing fancy birds. In the south rails
ers have gone into large flocks,
while the northern state raisers
still cling to the average size farm
flock. Texas is one of the greatest
turkey states, and it is thought that
the entire output of both North
and South Dakota and Minnesota
will no more than equal the number
of marketable birds of Texas.
A fair market is looked for by
dealers. The demand, because of
the increase of volume of turkeys,
will run to finer, fancier birds and
raisers are urged to watch the
quality of their flocks. It is natur-
al to suppose that If the supply of
turkeys Is there, consumers are go
ing to pick the incest birds. An in
crease Of the chicken market
throughout the nation has had the
tendency to bear down chicken
prices, and 1t is expected that low
chicken markets will have its eff
feet upon the turkey market.
According to reports several
flocks Of more than average size
are to be found surrounding the
city Of Sank Centre.

Man Injured
In Auto Accident
Occurred Friday Evening On High
way 81 ~ Miles From
City

Friday evening at about 6:45 o.
clock, when Mr.. and Mrs. John
Ceynar were returning from Mel
rose, they met with an automobile
accident on Highway 81. In miles
southeast of Sank Centre.
The accident, in which one man
received a broken leg, as we un-
derstand it, was in no way the
fault of Mr.. Ceynar. A truck
without tail lights, according to
Mr.. Ceynar's statement, was push
ing car on the pavement. Three
cars coming toward Mr.. Ceynar,
all with bright lights, blinded him.
He signalled for DINNERS, but did
not get them. The truck had pulled
across the road and stopped, which
forced Mr.. Ceynar to the right
side of the road in an attempt to
avoid collision. In doing that he
hit the bumper of the car and al
though, he did not notice it at the
time, hit a man standing along
side the car. The man received a
broken leg. He was riding with VIM.
Karnes, of Minneapolis.
None Of the occupants of the
car in question, the truck or Mr..
and Mrs. Ceynar were injured. As
Mr.. Ceynar was driving about ten
miles an hour he felt no jar and
neither did the occupants of the
other car, according to reports.
Mr.. Ceynar did all in his power
to avoid the accident, and as we
is not to blame.
