Our guest is not offensive. The
skunks ordinary smell, when not en-
gagged in controversy, is not disagree
able. I rather like the family am
moniac scent as it comes through the
open window on frosty nights; and
when the moon is clear ! like to look
out and see him ambling about the
lawn stopping here and there to dig
for mole or a grub. or to dislodge
a beetle from under the bark Of the
tree trunks During the fall he did a
useful service. for most of his prey was
the grubsVof Japanese beetles that
had gone into the ground after strip
ping the leaves of our apple trees.
None of us on the farm is likely to
suffer from the skunk, for We know
his armory and will not irritate him,
But sometimes We have visitors. and
some of them are city-bred. I fear
what may happen, either from lack
of appreciation Of the skunk's equip
ment for self-defense against annoy
ance. or from misunderstood ATTEMPTS
to be friendly with him. Some OF our
visitors are young women from the
city who think everything on farm
likes to have its head scratched.
The Problem.
I. as a boy. had my own experience
with the skunk's ammunition, with no
greater harm than several days alb
scence from school and suit OF
clothes buried in the orchard. But
l am not sure my citv-bred friends
could endure the baptism with as much
complacencv. About the strongest
scent our guests from the city ordi-
narily know is the strange perfumes
they bring in their handbags. We
noticed after one Of them left the
other day. an empty vial marked
''Guelaues F1eurs." That scent must
have surprised these old walls which.
when l was boy here. knew no
aroma more exotic than the ST Johns
wort and pennvroyal which my mother
used to dry in the fall, and preserve IN
wisps hung from the kitchen ceiling
against the time Of winter colds and
ether small ailments.
Our problem is how to make our
skunk aware that he is not welcome,
yet to avoid hurting his feelings to a
degree that might provoke reprisal.
We could trap him. of course. The
boys on the farm understand that art.
They trap many in the woods each
winter and sell the fur But to catch
a skunk in trap under the front
steps might result in such drenching
Of the front door as would make it
inhospitable for many weeks.
Gentlemanly Animal.
It's all a matter of tact. of getting
the skunk to appreciate that, for rea-
sons involving no reflection on him,
We would prefer his absence-not on
our own account. but because of guests
having less understanding. The skunk
is. in a fine sense, the most gentle
manly of animals. 1t is not that he
ever practices the conscious ingratia-
ton that dogs often exercise. The
skunk's Centlemanliness is that of the
best kind of aristocrat. He interferes
with no one. and only demands that
no one interfere with him. The motto
on his crest is "Noli me tangere'-
don't touch me''-and he comedies
the same motto to every one else. Since
he is superbly equipped for self-de-
fense, he takes it for granted that no
one will insult him. OF all the wild
life he is the most free from any

Education Through Good Pictures

knowledge and education on the
part of our people will remedy many
of the abuses and weaknesses of our
economic and social system. Good
schools, lectures and sermons by peo-
pie who are learned and know how
to deliver are most valuable. An
other excellent medium of education
are the moving picture films when
they are of an educational nature.
Some of the excellent pictures that
have received very enthusiastic praise
are the Life of Emile Zola," Good
Earth" "Winterset" and Dead End"
l am making a few comments on the
picture Dead End" which is one that
has a real social significance and
should be seen by as many persons
as possible. Crime is one of our most
important problems and Dead End"
very remarkably dramatizes where in

come to a dead end at the edge of the
dirty backwash of the East river. 1t

the courtesy of the Northwestern

"The Unexpected Guest" is three

are as follows: Paul Upton, a manu-

In the play George Upton returns
from college and informs his mother
that his college chum, Harry Hustan,
is coming to visit him for two weeks.
Now the Uptons have just become

anyone but the best types in society.
All are urged to be there and see
how Harry puts it over in his i'm

Every once in a while some one
suggests that names of all persons
receiving relief be published, UNI
doubtedly in the hope that making
public their names would so humil-
late them that they would prefer
starvation to receiving relief.
The counter suggestion has been
made that names of all persons, firms
and corporations who pay their en-
ployes such low wages that supple
mentary relief is necessary be pub
Eshed.
In Ramsey county alone 1900 per-
sons are receiving supplementary re-
