It will soon be galosh time. Feet that have had the benefit of open- toed sandals and summer sun will hibernate in heavy shoes and rubber overshoes.
 That's a strenous change. Sc let's give winter feet some special consideration.
 In the first place, be sure shoes and stockings fit. That's even more important for foot comfort in win ter than in summer.
 To Avert Pain
 When stockings are too small they give out in the toe. They also slide down at the heel, leaving the sheer part of the stocking to rub against the back of the shoe-and sprout runners.
 Shoes that are too small make tired feet perspire more than they normally do And precipitation causes foot scaling which often is very painful
 Winter foot care is not such task if you make it part of your beauty regimen. It means:
 q0 Keeping the feet clean.
 CD Applying a little olive oil or cuticle cream to the toes and nails now and then.
 (3). Cutting the toe nails reas- onably short-and filing away rag ged edges.
 (4). Applying little hand lotion or night cream to chapped parts of the feet and ankles.
 About COrns
 Some beauty experts advise using cuticle remover for callouses on the heels and the bottoms of the feet Others say it's best to rub the cal louses with pumice stone-if you rub gently.
 Nearly all experts agree that corns shouldn't be cut off except by a chiropodist.
 There's simple night ritual thai is almost certain to bring comfort to aching feet. It involves soaking the feet in soapy lukewarm water or solution of baking soda in warn water, rubbing the feet dry with z Turkish towel and massaging then with olive oil.
 And it's a good plan to dust tht feet with talcum powder after tht morning shower.
 If any trouble arises, consult you foot doctor.

Snowplowing Is
A Near Problem

How many remember the dis
cussions which took place in al
most any business place in Askov
village and possibly in more homes
and public places in the COM
munity late last winter in regards
to the snowplowing problem?
What has been done this summer
and so far this fall, also might be
pertinent question. Several per-
sons, however, have revived the
the question during the past week
with an opinion that somebody
should call special mass meeting
to publicly discuss the problem
and possibly work out solution.
One proposal, which was largely
accepted last winter, was to pur-
chase one or two light plows to
attach to the front of local trucks
with view to keeping the roads
clear from the first snow fall and
throughout the winter. 1t has
been also suggested that the town
and village boards sponsor meet
ing to discuss such a plan or other
plans if there are any. Something
good might come of it; what do
you think?

School Bus Runs
Over And Kills
2-Year Old Tot
Sandstone Parents and
Whole Neigborhood are
Stricken by Sad Tragedy.

The innocent act of following closely
in her fathers footsteps meant sudden
and crushing death last Thursday
morning to little Margaret Anderson,
year and II months old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Anderson
living northwest of Sandstone. The
little tots skull was crushed by a
heavy school bus driven by her
father
MIR. Anderson had been in the
house with a neighbor and upon
leaving to get into the school bus
they were followed by the little girl.
When the truck, driven by her father,
backed around as was customary, the
little child was caught by a wheel
and crushed to the ground. The
mother witnessed the accident but
could not make the father hear, nor
could she get to the child in time
to prevent her death.
The shock of seeing the accident
and the grief at being so suddenly
bereaved caused the mother to give
untimely birth to son. However,
the infant and mother are doing well,
considering the magnitude of the or
deal.
Little Margaret is survived by her
parents, two baby brothers, her grand
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ander-
son and Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Klein,
all in the Sandstone community.
Funeral services were held from
the Sandstone Bible church Satur-
day afternoon with Rev. R. Deursen
preaching the sermon. Burial was
made in Spring Hill cemetery. The
sympathy of the entire neighborhood
as well as people elsewhere is ex-
tended to the sorrowing family.

Hunters Urged To
Send Game Reports

Prompt action by hunters in send
ing in their reports of game taken
was urged last week by Harry E.
Speakes, director of the State Division
of Game and Fish.
"These reports are the only meth
cd we have of estimating the amount
of game taken each year in Mime
sofa, and it is therefore essential that
hunters assume the responsibility of
sending in their reports" Speakes
said
The law requires that 1887 license
reports be sent to the Division of
Game and Fish not later than jan
uary 81, 1888.
'Last year about 40 per cent of
all hunters sent us their reports"
