board much like see-saw. But it is
very difficult. A girl stands on each

very high at one side. The first
girl jumps quickly, as high as pos
sible, and her partner is bounced
into the air some six feet. AS she
comes down the first girl flies up

erly on the downward fight. But
the Koreans are skillful at this
game and like to play it often.

Timmers, Victoria, knows how to take

was breezing along state trunk high
way No. 7 a mile northwest of here
when Norma, seated alone in the back
seat, started playing with the door
handle. Suddenly the door flew open,
unknown to the parents, and the girl
tumbled to the hard tar road surface,
severely humping her head and suf-
fering painful bruises as she rolled and
slid to stop. A few moments later
her mother looked into the back seat
and to her surprise found that her
daughter was missing. The Timmers
stopped their car and looked back to
find the three-year-old tearfuIly run

and started running Immediately des-

one-half years old, and very modern
and capable Miss at that, when she
strolled away from the home of her
parents it took a hastily gathered
searching posse of between 60 and 10
neighbors more than half a day to
find her. At about ten o'clock in the
morning while her mother was busily
engaged in baking batch of bread for
Easter Sunday and her father was en-
ployed about the farm, Dolly decided
that adventure lay over the hills and
toddled off, not Immediately being
missed by any of the members of the
family. When she did not answer her
mothers call a search was instituted
and neighbors were enlisted in the
hunt until it was nearly 100 men and

that she was being hunted.

A CHANCE FOR PULLETS.

The pullets you are raising carry
the main responsibility for making you
money during the coming year If they
grow rapidly to an early maturity, they
will be in position to lay those fall eggs
that are necessary to profits from
chickens. If their growth is delayed
because of crowding and inability to
get all the feed they need, the egg flow
next fall will be correspondingly de-
layed.
One important step toward economi-
cal pullets is to get them away from
the cockerels as early as possible. A
nice green range where pullets have
everything their own way is truly
pullet's paradise. Try it and see how
much faster and more evenly they
grow.
AS for the cockerels-9 years out of
10, the sooner they are off your hands,
the better off you will be. When the
pullets are moved to the range, the
cockerels can best be left in the brooder
house or some other place of semi
confinement. AT 9 or 10 weeks of age
they should be ready to make into
broilers Don't bother to fatten them

PLAY YARDS
FOR CHILDREN.

In the spring young mans fancy
lightly turns towel, if he is very
young man of two or three summers
his fancy may turn to wandering, to
exploring, to climbing. But because he
is so very young he may wander where
it is not safe, he may explore where
he is not wanted, and climb much too
high.
Many accidents could be prevented
and mothers nerves protected if all
families having children of the fodder
age would provide play yards. Fences
are no longer in good taste, but tenn
porary, movable fences to surround a
sizable play yard are absolutely neces-
sary in this day of mechanical haz-
ards. I know a family who borrowed a
section Of snow fence for the summer.
Play yards are as necessary for farm
children as city children, for, in ad-
dition to highways where there is no
speed limit, there are, water tanks,
cisterns, farm animals, windmill ladders
and other danger spots.
A play yard should never be a small
pen. No child likes to be penned up,
nor will he endure it if he is at all
intelligent The place should include
opportunities for climbing, digging, and
all other activities and interests of
small children.

THE FISHERMANS "TF'

From Rod and Reel
If you can cast and not get tired of
casting,
Although the fish won't rise as if de-
sired
If you can crawl along the bank in
hiding,
With Bonded back, till you are very
tired;
If you can wade with care-yet fill your
waders,
And laugh it off and fish the whole
day through;
If you can see fish caught when you
can't catch them,
Congratulate with truth-and fish on
too;
If you can keep your line creased and
in order,
And wipe your rod and reel when they
are wet,
And keep your tackle always as it
should be,
And care for what you can afford to
get;
If you can go and fish in lake and
river,
For all your holidays swift passing
span
And then catch nothing-yet return the
wiser
For life, as well as fishing, you're a
Man.

TASTY, EARLY
SPRING RECIPES.

Before fresh asparagus, green onions
and radisheS come in, spring is the most
difficult time for the homemaker to
plan attractive meals from home sup
plies.
Vary the seasonings with your canned
foods, try new recipes, and be original,
make up your own. Do not overlook
vegetables, save the liquid. Here are
two suggestions:
Instead of corn pudding, cream hard
cooked eggs, add can of whole kernel
corn and chiveS. Crate into this some
cheese just as you remove from the
stove. Serve on buttered toast and
garnish with a tender sprig of parsley.
Try an omelet with a Spanish sauce
of canned tomatoes, onions and celery
thickened slightly.

GOOD SEAMS
ARE IMPORTANT.

Generous width and firm finish in
seams are desirable qualities in any
garment. 1t will pay to look at the
wrong side of all ready-made garments
before buying. Armhole and sleeve
seams, waist and hipline seams get
much of the strain of wear. A skimped
seam pulls out when under strain. A
generous seam holds and allows for
letting out at places that may be too
tight or may need remodeling
Another quality of a good seam is a
well finished edge that will not fray.
Firm, closely woven material needs
only one plain seam and overcaSting
at the edges. If the material is a fabric
that slips or trays easily, such as sheer
silk, the seam needs firmer finish.
Some seams that look nicely finished
are actually skinny. Many bargain
dresses have seams that are stitched
and bound in one process. These save
an extra line of stitching and look
nice enough at first glance, but often
have too little material in the fold to
stand hard wear or cleaning. Cord
like seams, called standing fell seams,
often pull out for the same reason.
Other points to watch in selecting
dresses are thread of the right weight,
too long stitches, broken stitching line,
loose ends of threads, and wavering
lines of stitching. These points, and
other information for clothing buyers,
are in leaflet No 105, Quality Guides
in Buying Ready-Made Dresses" pre-
pared by the Bureau Of Home Econ
omicS. 1t may be obtained from the

|Sd&4!; e. ! e. q

Statistics show that the number Of
traffic accidents increase after sun
down despite the fact that there are
fewer cars on the road at that time
of day.
Night driving requires additional care
and slower speed. Possibly the primary
reason for the fact that the greater
percentage of accidents occurs at night
is the tendency of SO many motorists
to drive at daylight speed. The lights
on present day automobiles, although
much improved, still do not throw a
beam far enough to allow us to see
objects a great distance ahead Con-
sequently we do not have sufficient
time to apply the brakes when we come
upon a stalled truck Or another object
on the highway.
As daylight grows dim, decrease your
speed and increase your cautiousness.

Wedding fashions and wedding ETH
quette occupy much of our time and
attention at this time of the year.
There are certain rules that are fol-
lowed at every wedding no matter how
large or small and no matter what the
custom of the community. For ex-
ample, the brides family always provide
the brides trousseau and always pay
for the wedding and after-party, it
makes no difference how large nor how
simple. The brides family provide cars
for the bridal party to and from the
church and they buy flowers carried
by the brides attendants.
For formal daytime weddings the
groom and his men wear frock coats.
For informal daytime weddings during
warm weather they wear dark blue
coat and white trousers or all white
suits. For formal evening weddings the
full dress suit or tail coat is worn all
year round and for semi formal evening
weddings the summer dinner suit is
worn (tuXedo trousers, black cumbur-
bund, white single breasted coat,
starched white shirt, black bow tie,
black patent shoes and black silk hose.)
A dark business suit is worn for
all decidedly informal weddings.
The bride may wear traditional white
and a veil no matter the hour of the
wedding-be it in church or home.
She must not wear such costume if
she is being married by a magistrate
Frothy cotton wedding dresses are
growing in popularity. These dresses
are generally made with short puffed
sleeves rather than the traditional
long sleeves. When the bride wears

This lighting Is a source Of many
interesting pictures. Striking sill
houettes Of trees and persons can
be obtained. Sunlight, coming from
above and slightly behind the sub

appealing highlights on hair and
shoulders. Numerous different" eff
fects are possible.
When you take such pictures,
your lens must be shaded so direct
rays of sunlight or artificial light
do not strike it. An inexpensive lens

very useful, and slips on easily. In
deed, it is an advantage to use such
shade for many pictures. It cuts
out stray sidelights and reflections,
gives brighter, snapper" pictures.

in the sky-almost on a line with

crew of twelve men. They worked
night and day in three shifts of four
men each, digging and blasting their
way down the path on which Spotty
disappeared. They could hear the little
dogs bark, seemingly urging them on
to the rescue. Shortly after the next
day the workmen reached the point
where they could see Spotty wedged in
an opening six inches wide. Tender
hands picked up the ten pound dog and
carried him to safety. Spotty was still
in good condition although quite weak.
He showed his appreciation before a
large crowd on hand to witness the
rescue by wagging his tail and barking
feebly.

Hard and Soft Wheat

Hard wheat is any wheat with
hard, flinty, usually dark-colored
kernels high in gluten and yielding
a strong flour especially suitable for
bread and macaroni. Soft wheat is
any wheat with soft, starchy, usu-
ally pale kernels high in starch
and low in gluten yielding a weak
flour, especially suitable for pastry
and breakfast food.
