C. L. RI am planning to go to
New York in September and ]
would like to know if am going
to be able to go there?
Ans: Why don't you wait at
least two more years before leav-
ing home? A girl of your age
should not think of getting out in
the world without her family un-
less it is a necessity. Make your
plans to go back to school in the
fall.
M. P.-My hands have been ir-
ritated for the whole year and /
would like to know what / should
do about them.
Ans: See a skin specialist at
once and leave off your home rene
dies. There is no earthly reason
why you should have suffered with
your hands this long length of time
when it could have been so easily
cured. Don't put the matter
off any longer.
M. E. M have been out of
high school two years and mother
wants to send me off this year.
don't know what to major in. Help
me, please.
Ans: There are so many inter-
esting fields that an industrious
young lady could make a name for
herself. Journalism might appeal
to you but whatever you decide to
follow, by all means put your whole
heart into the work. Don't fail to
go to college.
K. L. L.-Why does my boy
friend like to associate with old
women and will he ever stop it?
Ans: He will, yes ). but at his
tender age of eighteen, he thinks
that it is quite ''the stuff" to be
seen with older women. They ap-
preciate his interest but they do
not care for him as you do. This
won't go on but few years longer.
J.O. What should l do about
the job that 1 placed an application
for last year? Will / get it?
Ans: Place your application with
this firm again. 1t is somewhat
doubtful if you will get on but if
you continue to put your applica-
ton before them, they may con-
slider you later on.
A. M. D.-Please tell me if my
husband is trying to go with my
brothers wife or is she telling
wrong things on him?
Ans: There is no use for you to
worry about them going together
for she wouldn't HAVE YOUR
HUSBAND. He tried to play up
to her for the fun he would get out
of teasing her but this isn't any
more than he would do with most
anyone else. He means no wrong.
]. M.-Please tell me when 1 will
land better job and in what city
will it be?

would like to know if l am going

Ans: Yes-yOu will get a bet
ter paying job before NOVEMBER
of this year. You will continue to
work in the city you are now 10
Gated.
]. w. C.-Why was 1 falsely ac-
cused on the job that 1 was work
ing on recently?
Ans: A party you did not like
was trying to get your job and he
succeeded. There is nothing that
you can do about it so take it on
the "ehin" like a man and look for
a job elsewhere. The truth will
come out at a later date.
M. We'll me about what
month do you think that 1 will be
able to make the trip home?
Ans: Get you a job and save
your money and you should be able
to make this trip in the month of
August. You wouldn't enjoy max
ing the trip home unless you had
a little money to spend as well as
buy yourself some attractive
clothes.
F. F.-Will my husband ever
return to me and if so will you
please tell me when?
Ans: NO-he won't return to
you. He made up his mind before
he left that he had no love left
and wanted a permanent separa-
ton. l would suggest that you do

ing orders on Sept. 81 requiring
changes in listings or changes in
some manner of service.
Many of you can't understand
why the company wants your old
directory. No, they don't sell them
for old paper, they just don't want
you to use them. Here's the reason
On the very day that delivery of
the book is made to you, all chang
es are Immediately listed at the
board where the operators work
Now your use of the old book
might result in wrong numbers,
lost calls, and lost time for the OPP
orators. When you think they are
handling more than 5000 calls
daily, you'll see that they can't be
fuddling around because you used
the wrong book :. But people are
reluctant to give up the old direc-
tory, we learn. Many of them have
jottings, recipes, favorite telephone
numbers scrubbed in in easily &C
cessible places in the directory.
They'll ask, Cant I keep this, I
simply have to get this recipe"
Well, if you'll burn the old one it's
all right. The whole thing is de-
signed to give you greater service.
Tenure-Thot it would be nice to
mention this in connection. Absent
from the roster of telephone sub
scribers this year will be Mrs.
John Weiner. It marks the first
time in II years she has not used
the telephone. And that service has
been enjoyed in the same house.
Now she has moved to the country,
and feels that no longer has she
need for 1t . In such cases the

Peat Land Yields Vegetable Crops

Princeton.-As iron is mined in northern
Minnesota vegetable wealth may be mined from soil
in the local farming district for this year 70acre
plot of peat land yielded 5000 bushels of onions.
Energy pluck, and little backbone have been three
important factors in turning waste tract of land
in what known the Big Bog, nine miles north
east of Princeton, into fertile farming which
produces large crops of vegetables each During
the last four weeks the $1,000 bushel of Yellow
Globe onions has been harvested the project giving
employment to a large number of men during the
season The entire crop was pulled by 100 men in
days, graded in the field and then trucked to
Princeton from where the onions shipped to
twin City warehouses for storage until put on the
market The crop was not raised without considerable
expense, but forgetting all financial consideration,
seeing those level fields dotted with onion sacks, a
group Of men busy September morning grading
and loading became inspiring sight

By Chuck Rattle

Hello, again-You use it every
day, this little book, yet few Of you
realize the work behind it or the
principles guiding it's construction.
So since the telephone directory is
here now being prepared for circu-
lation to you soon, thought you'd
like to know a few things about it.
-. The contract calls for 1000
books, $50 of which will be deliver
ed to the local telephone subscrib-
ers :. 16 operations go into its
construction :. First is typesetting
Typesetting is done with an espec-
tally designed font of matrices
(come over, We'll explain those
terms) used for no other purpose
than setting the telephone direct
ory This type is designed to use
a minimum of space yet afford
greatest possible ease for reading
:. Then there's proof reading, of
course, and corrections to make,
and then a check of a revised proof
(that is after the corrections have
been made) :. On the cover three
runs" will be made on the press.
The outside must be printed, the in
side, and then those lines you see
where the cover folds make a sep
arate run . Which gives about
5000 impressions ). The in'ards of
the book get two runs Of 500 each
>. Then comes the work for the
bindery girls (only, shucks, we
don't have any, which is folding,
gathering, stitching, and punching
the holes for you to hang the book
up And the operation we're
most interested in is delivery -.
Annihilator Of space and time is
the telephone, and grazing the front

that truth. Pictured are a tele-

Significantly enough the hands Of
the clock point to the hour Of Z

parlance Is called a handset, not
French phones-as the vernacular
has 1t F.. To show you how obsol-
etc the directory can become in a
single year, 166 changes in listings
will be made this year. That does
not count the people who have dis
continued service or have moved
into town as new subscribers :. OF
the $50 books sent to subscribers
when the delivery Is made many
will have to be replaced. Before the

 able peach or rose or carmine that goes with each special type is worth dieting to obtain, or to retain. And every thoughtful woman is doing her best to be, faithful to rules which are helpful.
 The need for plenty of vitamins we have learned by heart long ago, and now are reaping excellent re- suts from adherence to that teach ing. As a nation we are eating far more fresh vegetables and fruits than in the past decade. Gradually adults are learning to drink more milk. But most of us do not yet know that it is equally important to see that the body has its full share of iron an essential ele- ment to good coloring.
 When we speak of iron we mean, of course, iron as 1t can be taken in it's natural state in various food products. Raw oysters, dried egg yolk, liver, lean beef, spinach. figs, dried peas, beans, whole wheat and lentils are all rich in iron and phos- phorous. Molasses and raisin, too, belong in this group. So there IS TO reason why sufficient quantity of iron sh.uld not be included daily in the menus for evry family.
 Figs-one of our most excellent beauty foods-are invariably neg lected in the average household. Fresh, ripe figs are in the markets for so short time that we cannot all have them, but preserved or canned figs served with cream make excellent substitutes and should be eaten at least once week for breakfast. Fig and cream cheese sandwiches are suitable for lunch con or afternoon tea. Make them

This history of foods is always ir- teresting-the story of sandwiches is no exception. The idea of a :.sandy sandwich" does not seem so very appetizing yet the word origin ally came from Kentish village on the sands" ," "Wick," being the early English word signifying town or village. tAo
 The sandwich as we know 1t, was born in 1758 when the gambling Earl of Sandwihc gave orders that the meat be laid between two slices of bread SO tl1at he would not have to stop playing when the stakes were high. .d
 The modern sandwich has become frivolous and fresky, often made of tiny golden brown squares of toast stuck together with toothpicks. The substantial slabs. of bread, carrying the roast boar and venison, which the first Lord Sandwich ordered are much less popular.
 r Sandwiches, however, can, carry real food value if the filling ocn- tains fresh vegetables, cheese or eggs. Vary the sandwich by using other breads in place of white bread. Use the wholesome whole wheat and rye breads. Three deckers' made by putting a slice of white bread between two thin slices of whole wheat bread are welcomed by all members of the family. sf i ~
 Fancy cookie cutters which so often lie. idle from one holiday time to another adapt themselves well to sandwich-shaping and will please the younger "lunchers" especially. When cutters are used, always cut out the desired shape before butter ing the slices. Butter both slices of the sandwich out. to the very edge -the butter keeps the filling from soaking into the bread. Besides the butter contains rich quantities of the growth-promotihg vitamin A, so essential to the school child.
 Whether lunch Is eaten at home, 1t work or, at, school, sandwiches with interesting filings are always acceptable, to all the fainily.F Fry
