"MAMA, WHAT SHALL 1 DO NOw?'

If you have a bright four or five year
old, who doesn't go to kindergarten
you've probably often heard this plain
tive little question. One father, when
his wife told him how often during the
day their little boy repeated it, said he
thought the child needed spanking,
so he wouldn't poster his mother. But
the mother said, 81 don't! I think he
needs something to do that interests
him."
She, being with the boy more than his
father was, could see that it wasn't
merely business, but the desire for more
mental stimulation. This child loved
to have his mother read to him-but
she couldn't spend great deal of time
that way, nor did she feel that it would
be good for Inn to become dependent on
her to furnish entertainment all the
time. The only companionship this boy
had was that of his 20-month-old
brother, and they had so little in COM
mon that they couldn't be depended on
to satisfy one another in their play for
very long at a time.
There are far too many children, the
country over, who are in the same
plight as this boy. They have reached
a mental age when they would profit by
the companionship of other children of
like ability, and by the guidance of a
teacher who could direct their play
along constructive lines. Only very
small proportion of American children
have kindergartens to go to, and those
who live in the country, as this child
does, don't often have children living
near enough to them so that they can
enjoy group play.
About the only thing for parents, who
are thus situated, to do is to provide as
many things as possible that will
stimulate their children to creative play.
Paper, paints, crayonS, scissors and
paste will suggest to the child whose
mind is active many things to do with
them. Blocks, toy trucks and trains,
wooden animals all furnish the basis for
imaginative play, Tools, and materials
that lend themselves to the capacities
of the young child, such as odds and

A Fish Story
In Duck Season.

Hibbing is a fishing story and
by the very nature of things should
give way to the duck hunting season,
but it must be told. Cecil Simonson,
disabled World War veteran, and his
son Franklin, fishing at a point off
Swan lake recently, were thrown into
the cold waters of the lake when a
large fish capsized their converted duck
boat. 1t was big muskellunge on the
sons line that caused all the trouble.
The huge fish dived. once with the son
striving to reel him in He dived a
second time, capsizing the small duck
boat, throwing both men into the water.
They lost the big fish and in addition,
two small-Sized pike, a rod and reel,
fishing tackle, and in the excitement,
the elder Simonson's false teeth. The
duck boat can be salvaged.

Finds Nine Leaf CIOUer.

Waseca-f finding four-leaf clover
is supposed to bring the finder good
luck, what sort of luck is coming to a
person who finds a nine leaf clover2
That is the question which Mrs. Howard
Chard who lives just outside the city
limits would like some one in authority
to answer. She found the oddity on her
lawn recently. There are nine perfectly
formed leaves at the top of the stem
like cluster of rose leaves. She also
found another stem with six perfectly
formed leaves. Mr.. Chard is sub
stitute rural mail carrier and he brought
the clovers to- the post office, where
they were examined by the employees
who will vouch for the veracity of the
unusual nine-leaf clover.

Taft's Program.
Mr.. Taft's three-point program fol-
lows:
l. Federal appropriations. The Fed
eral Government should appropriate
to the States sum Of money accord
ing to q stipulated formula to carry
out q general relief program, includ-
ing work relief. The amount appro-
priated by the Federal Government
should be q definite sum available
upon condition that 1t be matched
by the States in prescribed propor-
tions; each State to apportion to local
communities upon any basis it may
decide compatible with relief needs,
and the determination of the amount
and character of work relief and of
those eligible for relief to be primarily
the responsibility Of the State and
local community. This recommends
ton is not to be taken as opposing q
Federal program for public works on
a non-relief basis.
The Federal Government should
make special grants to States from
the general relief fund so that care
may be given to interstate transients
2. Standards. The Federal Gov-
ernment should set up standards Of
administration and of relief within
general limits. These standards should
require within each State and city q
unified or at least q co-ordinated ad-
ministration, under an adequate and
inclusive merit system of appoint
ment, Of all public assistance and
general relief programs to which the
Federal Government contributes funds
Such q unification can be realized
