PINE COUNTY RURAL
SCHOOL NEWS
A. E. GUSTAFSoN. County Supt.

The regular spring meeting of the
county superintendent, called by the
State Department of Education, is
being held this week at the State
Office Building auditorium in st. Paul
The State School Boards Associa-
ton convention is being held this
week at the Nicollet hotel in Min
neapolis.
The annual spring institute for our
Pine county rural teachers has been
scheduled by the state department
to be held at Hinckley on Thursday
and Friday, March 10 and II. We
hope and expect every rural teacher
will be present.
Sectional Contests.
The fourth annual series of Pine
county sectional declamatory contests
for rural schools will be held as fol-
lows: February Is, Pine City high
school, section Z; February 81, Rock
Creek, section 8; February %, Fin
layson high school, section s.; Feb
ruary rs, Beroun, section 6; February
%, Markville, section 8; March 2, I'M
decided, section 4; March 4, Sturgeon
Lake, section L; March 9, Kerrick,
section 2. The contests will again be
held according to state fair rules
The rural teachers in charge of each
sectional contest are already making
plans Most teachers use language
and recess periods to train contest
ants.
The object of the sectional contest
is not only to select contestants for
the county contest, but also to give
training in public speaking to hun
dreds of pupils who take part in the
many local contests. Regular school
programs are also most valuable in
this respect.
Last year IS of our rural schools
sent speakers to the sectional con-
tests. Most of these IS schools held
local contests. In the local contests
lies the greatest value of this pro-
ject, which finally ends by repre-
sentation of Pine county at the state
fair in September. mot to win but
to gain practice and experience u
should be the slogan of every school
AS was done last year at the sec
tional contests, special recognition
will again be given to the musical
(vocal and instrumentaD selections
from the various schools. The slim
ulation and encouragement of musical
talent is just as important as public
Speaking or any other phase of eX-
tra-curricular work. Our rural boys
and girls have shown some very
excellent talent and training these
past three years. We hope each
school will be able to send some
musical number to their respective
sectional declamatory contest.
Let us not only hear and read about
the winners, but also remember that
greatest value lies in the training
and experience of the hundreds that
do not win.

Find Noise Is Harmful
if Body Lacks Mineral

Minneapolis, MINI. The lack
of magnesium in the human body
causes an imbalance in the nerv-
Gus system which makes an individ-
ual particularly sensitive to noise,
according to the present edition Of
Modern Medicine, published here.
Small noises may cause commissions
in an experimental animal which
has been kept on a magnesium free
diet, an article in the magazine said.

THE ESKIMO

away up IN tne NOrtn FOle
Live the Eskimo.
Wearing many furs and skins
Everywhere he goes.
The Eskimo is short and fat,
Having straight black hair.
His eyes are bright, and his nose is
flat
No white man can compare.
He finds roots and berries
That he eat for his meal,
And on his sled he carries
A flat and chubby seal.
Every year he moves
Using dogs when e'er he 60.
All dressed in his furs and skins
Moves the jolly Eskimo.

The Eskimos wear furry clothes,
Their faces you only can see.
They live in snow-built houses,

Bottle On
 Long Trip

PAYETTE Idaho, May 7.-Harry Launt reports he received letter from New Jersey road building foreman who picked up a corked bottle bearing Launt's name near the New Jersey entrance of the Holland tunnel.
 Launt says he placed his name in the bottle four years ago and tossed it into the Elkhorn river in Nebraska. He reasoned it must have travelled down the Mississip- pi to the Gulf of Mexico, and then up the Atlantic coast to New York City's harbor.

 CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY

The sixth birthday of Shirley Ann Edwards was the occasion of a birthday celebration which was held at her home yesterday after noon. Twenty-one young friends of Shirley were invited and the chil- dren had fine time with games and fun in general. Each child received a balloon for favor and a number or them recited or sang songs.
 The honoree of the occasion was the recipient of many nice gifts. Two birthday cakes with candles decorated the table and there was a centerpiece of yellow candles.

So in the springtime there is always

IN THE matter of eggs, as in a great

on the point Of view. To Jimmy Skunk

on from the viewpoint OF something to

them to think Of eggs Eggs are good
to fil empty stomachs. Yes, Stree,
they are splendid for that! The mere

they "love" eggs, but they don't. They
"like" them, which is quite different.

But Mrs. Grouse and most of the
other feathered people of the Green
Forest and the Green Meadows and
the Old Orchard really do love" eggs.
It is the heart instead of the stomach
that responds to the thought of eggs.
To them eggs are almost as precious
as babies, because they know that some
day, some day very soon, those eggs
will be babies. There are few feath-

can only be of limited value to the
amateur gardener for the simple
reason that they come in a form
not easily filed for future refer

the gardner needs the information,
he has either forgotten what he

of horticultural information which
I believe would be of Value to those
Who are interested, and which some
OF my readers might wish to ac-
quire for themselves.
The highest authority upon all
horticultural questions is "The
Standard Cyclopedia of Horticul-
ture' edited by L. H Bailey and
published by the Macmillan COM
pany. 1t is now published in a con-
densed, three volume set which
sells for fifteen dollars. Very few
amateur gardeners would need or
desire work so pretentiops. How
ever there is an unabridged set of
the Cyclopedia in the Ell Centro
public library which you might
wish to consult occasionally. Other
books of value to the gardner are,
