OF NATIVE STONE
Here is their outdoor stove. It
is so sensible and inexpensive that
I believe it may fit into your sum
mer home plans.
The stove is built waist high
from native stone. Instead OF
having the grill top, an old
fashioned iron cook stove was res
cued and the top Of it used for
this purpose.
The iron cook.stove top has
four round stove burners which
can be removed when direct flame
cooking is desired. The hinged
opening into the firebox was left
on and the stove was firmly EN-
bedded in concrete. There Is g
chimney at the back that goes ur
about six feet, high enough SC
that smoke does not get in the
cooks eyes.
Two stone work cables were
built on either side even with the
top of the stove. Sturdy ano

with mixing and pouring of the

Summer cooking loses its I'm

Beauty
By HELEN TOILETTE

Tell me, pretty maiden, are you
bringing" your neck up properly?
Do you keep your chin and head
on the level, so the neck will stay
smooth? Oncoming years are apt
to bring fiddle strings unless you
are careful.
Sometimes the 30th birthday
will show a neck that has lost
heart and gone into a slump.
During the summer season, the
region of the wiShbone is bound
to get burned and Drowned. It is
neglected. Face dreaming stops
short under the chin. Keep the
cutaneous covering we'll fabricated
and there won't be difference of
color between face and neck.
Evidences of Sunburn sometimes
stick around all winter. Take
time by the cowlick and save
yourself trouble later on.
To retain a nice color, sponge
with peroxide before putting on
the fragrant emollient. Don't
forget that massage is good for
skin and tissues, rolling up dead,
discolored scales and toning un-
derlying fibers. Don't be com.

A MODERN JUDGMENT
OF PARIS

Dear MISS FAIRFAX:
TITS the little things in life
that wreck the best laid plans Of
mice and men, I've sailed along
on . smooth sea, and had af-
fairs with girls since I was Is.
Now it looks as if 1 were to be
railrOaded into matrimOny, all
on account Of a summer hat.
II was having q pleasant fir
tatiOn with two girls, both of
whom are plenty jealous. At .
church garden party-of all
places-they put on this little
act.
Zone had q big cartwheeI of
a hat trimmed with flowers, and
the other q small turban. They
stood on a platform, and an old
sister, who is always stirring up
trouble. cooked up q scheme for
me to decide which hat was more
bec0ming-the cartwheeI or the
tuEban. / hedged and said both
were equally pretty.
"Cartwheel'S brother insisted
that 1 should be man enough to

necessary to do 50. I'M"
If there was no request for re-
ply on the invitation-R. S. v. P.
or please reply''-it is not neceS-
sary to answer the invitation. You
either &C to the tea, or if you are
unable to go. you mail your visiting
card to the hostess so that it will
arrive on the morning Of the day
of the tea party.
However, I'd like to add that
while it is not strictly necessary to
answer this kind of invitation, and
while the hostess may hesitate to
write r. S. v. P. on the tea invita-
ton, it is the essence of politeneSS
and thoughtfulneSS when a guest
does answer it.
1t is such a tiny bit Of trouble,
and it gives the hostess a pleasant
sense of the graciousness Of the
guest who has been invited.
For instance guest may write !:
Dear Mary:
you were very kind to invite
me to your tea party on Tuesday
the first Of August, and I am de
lighted to accept. 1t will be such
pleasure to see you again.
"DevOtedly,
| "JANE."
Or, on a visiting card we may
write:
I'd love to come on Tuesday
thank you for asking me.
Or if, a day or two before thu
party, you find that you cannot
go to the party, telegram or mott

come and that you are sorry, Is

Nine Special Sessions

Nine Special Sessions
The special session Of the legisla-
ture which opened Monday is the
first in the history of Minnesota to
be called for setting the tax levy.
Nine other extra sessions have
been called, all of these, however,
to meet unexpected emergencies.
According to the records Of the
Minnesota historical society, the
first extra meeting was called In
1862 by Governor Alexander RAM
sey in order to meet the problems
Of the civil war. A call for 5000
men to aid the Union forces had
been issued by President Lincoln.
Enlistments had left the frontiers
inadequately protected and Indian
outbreaks were numerous.
The second extra session was
called by Governor ]. s. Pillsbury

WON ESSAY CONTEST

Tom Brown, student of the Sank
Centre High Schooi, won an essay
contest conducted by the Interna-
tional Business Machines Corp. He
took first prize for the State Of
Minnesota, and for his efforts re-
ceived a gold watch, and secured
for the school an electric typewrit-
er. The presentation was made by
representatives of the company at
the local school Wednesday after
noon at 2:30. Tom is to be congrat-
ulated upon his success, for the
prizes are most welcome to the
school and to Tommy himself. The
subject Of the essay was "Today's
Need for Thoughtful Effort"

in 1881. Bonds for the states in
debtedness were falling due, and
although provision had been made
for these obligations at the regular
session, a ruling of the state SUI
preme court had made that legis-
lation invalid.
Van SAINT Divided Session
Governor Samuel Van SAINT in
1902 cut the regular session short
because tax committee was pre-
pairing more efficient tax laws, and
its report was not ready. When the
report was completed the legisla-
ture reconvened and passed the
laws without additional expense to
the state.
In 1912 Governor A. o. Eber-
hart called an extra session to
meet the demands for a statewide
primary law, to pass an effective
corrupt practice act, and a reap
portionment law.
The world war in 1917 brought an
extra session in order that the boys
in the army would not lose their
voting franchise. J. A. A. Burn
quist was governor at the time.
In 1919, the woman's suffrage
amendment, and bonus for ex-
service men, and forest fire relief
prompted Governor Burnquist to
call another extra meeting of the
legislature.
Olson called Two Sessions
Governor Olson called two extra
sessions, the first in 1888 to meet
relief and liquor problems. Repeal
of the 18th amendment had made
new legislation on liquor control
In 1885 Governor Olson called
the second session so the state
could prepare a social security pro-
gram to conform with the social
security legislation which had just
been passed in Washington.
A special session was called by
Hjalmer Peterson during his short
reign last year. In order to get the
federal subsidy on social security,
the state had to meet certain re-
quirements before Dec. 81, 1896.
Present Session Different
Never in the history of Minneso-
ia, however, until the last session,
had it been necessary to hold a
special session because Of violent
disagreement among the members
of the legislature. The tax levy had
always been made through compro-
mise in the regular session.
Why should it be so difficult to
compromise in 1887?

Observations From
Washington
BY Congressman Harold Knutson

The Supreme Court Situation
Two events of outstanding i'm
portance in their influence on the
Presidents demand that the Su-
preme Court be enlarged to fifteen
justices happened last week-one,
the refusal of the Senate Judiciary
Committee to make a favorable re-
port on the Presidents court bill,
and the resignation of Associate
Justice Van Devanter, who has
been counted one Of the more con-
sentative judges. Both of these
important events have served to
put damper on the Presidents
proposal and I would not be at
all surprised If they will become
the deciding factors.
His retirement will give the
President an opportunity to name
a justice Of his own complexion
to fill the vacancy, which will
transform the court from a con-
sentative to liberal body. Then,
too, it is expected that at least one
more conservative justice will
shortly present his resignation to
the President. That would give the
President an assured majority Of
the court. What more can he ask
for?
It Is beginning to look to me
as though President Roosevelt Is
determined to follow in the foot
steps Of the late President Wilson
in his League Of Nations fight,
as he is taking mo compromise"
attitude in nearly all Of his must
program" President Roosevelt
should be old enough to know that
legislation is largely the result Of
