TO CORRAL THE RUNAWAY

The runaway child is becoming source
Of much concern on the part Of mothers.
AS the growing child is greatly in need
Of exercise it certainly is not the best
practice to keep him in pen cons family
or harness him up to the clothes posts.
However, as a mother cannot watch her
child continually it is dangerous to
allow him to run free with cars and
trucks whiz zing by the roadways at only
q short distance.
1t has been suggested that small fences
Of uni form size and construction be
erected at the tenant IS expense around
our back yards. We wi sh you would advise
US Of your opinion Of this suggest on or
send any ideas you may have on So
luton Of this problem.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

For the benefit Of those who have
recently moved to Greenbelt, the admin
istration has asked US to publish some
directions on the care Of walls. (This.
information was given in our Dec. 9Th
edition..
Care Of Walls in Living-Room, Bedroom
and Hall
These walls are painted with casein
water color paint which spots easily.
Some spots are very difficult to remove
but 18th care quite a few can be taken
off by washing. These directions should
be followed in removing spots:
Moisten q soft sponge and rub the
spot lightly with rotary motion using
only clean, cold water wi thout soap,
or with very lid soap used sparingly.
Do not wash more often than necessary
because constant washing will remove
paint.
Care Of Walls in Kitchen and Bathroom
For removing spots and hand marks,
first wet the spot with q soft sponge
using clean, cold wa ter. Then rub the
sponge on a cake Of Ivory soap and rub
the spot or mark lightly until removed.
Rinse off the soap wi tn clean, cold
water.
Treat painted woodwork in the same
manner. After washing painted walls or
woodwork, dry with channels or clean
cloth which is free from lint. Use
soap containing q high perc entage Of
lye, resin, grit such pumic stone

Livestock Mart Is
Mostly Steady
Cattle Prices Steady; Hogs
Unevenly Lower; Lambs
Drop SOC.

South st. Paul, Mimi, July 10, 1888
Local cattle receipts were about the
same as last week and the market
held principally steady on all classes
of slaughter and replacement stock
according to the Federal-State Mar
ket News Service Granted cattle
were scarce and stockerS comprised
large share of the receipts Most
good to choice fed yearlings and steers
cashed at $500 to $10.85 with small
lots $11.0O or more. Plain and medi-
UNI steers, generally grassy, earned
$3.50 to $3.50 Medium and good
heifers sold at $500 to $500, up to
SLOTS being paid for choice mixed
yearlings. Few grassy heifers got
above $3.50, very plain sorts selling
down to $3.50. Medium and good
grass fat cows made $5.75 to $6.75,
common grassers down to $500 Most
low cutters and cutters realized $500
to S4.75. Sausage bulls bulked at
S525 to S6.25, good beef bulls selling
up to $6.75. Good and choice vealers
earned $500 to $3.50, prime selects
$1,000, most throwouts $500 to $500.
Medium and good stocker or feed
ing steers sold freely at $3.50 to $500,
ordinary red or roam lightweights
down to $3.50.
Declining fresh pork values to-
gether with slight increase in hog
supplies occasioned an unevenly 1Oc
to 35c break in live hog values since
the close of last week. Demand was
broad at the downturn. Top rested
at $975 on the current session, while
majority of the good and choice 16O
to 230 pound barrows and gifts earned
1920 to $685., 230 to 26O pounds $3.50
to 1925, 260 to 800 pounds $8.1O to
$3.50, and 300 to $50 pounds SITS
to S8.10. Good sows $50 pounds down
bulked at $715 to SITS, while heav-
ierweights generally sold from $3.50
to Sis. A spread of $500 to SITS
took most good stays, although few
eXtremeweights went down to $3.50.
Small lots of pigs sold from 5000 to
$685..
Spring lambs lost soc on the first
two days of this week as a result
of sharply lower wholesale dressed
prices last week and some increases
in supplies recently. Good to choice
native spring lambs turned at $825
today, most grass fat yearlings $500
to $3.50, native slaughter ewes $1.5O
to S3.25, and black-faced yearling
breeding ewes at $500 mainly.

Taxpayers Plead
For Tax Decrease
Continued from Page ~

Chairman Pearson read one months
requirements from the Welfare board
which totaled $10,213.39. Further
more it was pointed out that the law
is such that the wife of an Old Age
penSioner who is destitute and toe
young to receive pension, shall be
given relief at the same time that
the husband receives pension.
One optimistic point brought out
at the meeting, however, was to the
effect that the first half taxes this
year were paid nearly 100 percent.
Office Building Discussed.
In opening the meeting of those
interested in the proposed donation
of office building space by Pine City
to the county, Chairman Pearson
called on Clark Pennington, of the
Pine City village council, to state
the proposition. Mr.. Pennington ex-
planned the improvement program
which the village of Pine City has
under way in regard to paving and
guttering of the village streets and
that included proposed office build
ing which would be constructed and
turned over to the county for use OF
some of its offices which are now
in rented quarters. The only proviS-
ion, informed Mr.. Pennington, would
be that the county maintain the build
ing and that the village council would
reserve quarters therein.
The proposal was that the build
ing would be constructed on both
village and county property just south
of the court house and that Pine City
would pay the sponsors share to COM
ply with the PWA setup.
Some doubt was expressed by the
board and other taxpayers that a
proposition of that kind could be
consumated free from cost to the
county unless the building is con-
structed all on village property.
The Hinckley representation Of
fered free quarters in that village
for some of the offices now in the
county seat if it were feasible to
HlOVS lllcIIl, UuI IL IlOI IedSlOle dIlu
if the office building were to be con-
structed and turned over for use
by the county without strings at
tached except that it maintain it,
then by all means the board should
accept such proposition. The con-
census of opinion was to that effect
however, it was felt by many that
some of the offices could just as well
be divided among the villages of the
county, if feasible from the stand
point of efficiency.
Mr.. Pennington, in answer to all
inquiries, stated that the building, if
and when constructed, would be for
use Of the county, as stated, with
no strings attached. The county
board took no official action on the
matter, preferring to let it stand
until such time as the building is
constructed. However, it was pointed
out that it will have to be constructed
all on Pine City property in order
not to involve the county in any
more expenditure of funds at the
present time.

Catches Record Sized Fish?


Summer time in this old lake re-
gion of ours is also time when fish
yarns of varying proportions are
snapped. The latest comes from
Clarence MorgenSen, who has been
bitten by the 'bug" and contaminated
with the thought of spending much
of his leisure time fishing in Big Sand
creek east of the village.
Well, as the story goes, Clarence,
in company with others, went to the
creek Tuesday evening and started
to fish. He felt tug at his line and
began to reel for dear life. It was
a difficult task but Drawn and per-
severance finally won and he landed
his catch-a pickerel The proud
fisherman had no fish stringer with
him and after spending considerable
time looking for heavy piece of
wire and even trying some highway
cable to hold his catch, he decided as
a matter of safety to keep the fish
close to him until he could take it
home and thereupon placed it in
his shirt pocket-it was about six
inches long
To continue with his interesting
story, Clarence said that upon his next
cast into the water with his bait, the
terrific strain of landing the fish had
evidently taken its toll and his steel
fishing rod broke in two. However,
the catch made it worthwhile and if
he is forced to purchase a new rod,
he will still be compensated with
the thought that he landed record
fish for that creek.

National Guard Head
Speaks To Rotarians
War Muneuvers Are
Discussed By Capt.
(. T. Nelson

Capt. E. T. Nelson, Lexington, was
the principal speaker at the meeting
OF the Durant Rotary Club Tuesday
noon at the Hotel Durant. He is
commanding officer of Battery 3
Hath Field Artillery, Holmes Coun-
ty unit Of the Miss. National Guard,
which recently participated in the
war maneuvers in south Mississippi.
It was on these war maneuvers
Capt. Nelson spoke.
Battery B, together with National
Guard units of Grenada and Green
Vile, made up the first battalion of
Hath Field Artillery of the Brown,
or invading force. Two divisions
with attached troops composed of
wenty or twenty-five thousand men
made up the invading force with
headquarters in Biloxi.
The Blue, or defending forces,
were stationed at Camp Shelby at
Hattiesburg. It was made up OF
around $1,000 men.
The battle lasted six days and the
training received by the members Of
the local unit in this maneuver was
worth more than one year in the
weekly drills Of the National Guard,
the speaker stated. Actual war time
conditions were assimulated and the
boys had to fight rain, mud, ticks
and mosquitoes.
The war was called to halt when
the Blues received requirements
and the Browns had to retreat.
Capt. Nelson stated that these
army maneuvers showed clearly that
a large invading force could over
come a smaller defensive force when
they were both equally armed. The
training was invaluable to the 90
men in Holmes county who parti-
cipated.
