SUMMER STYLES
FOR FURNITURE.

That's right! Slip cover it now and
have cool, washable covers on those
chairs and that davenport that are
going to have such a hard summer.
The covers will be just as good next
fall and through the winter, too, if
you are careful when selecting material.
Watch these points:
Select a close weave with a smooth
surface; dust won't collect on this nor
sift through so easily as in spongy
materials. Avoid materials with long
floating yarns for they'll get shabby
soon. Choose material that won't
wrinkle easily as all your careful tailor
ing will go for naught with crtlshable
material.
If possible, choose materials that are
labeled, indicating "pre-shrunk." San
forized goods are pre-shrunk. Be sure
your material is labelled sun-and-tub-
fast, also. Of course, there is very apt
to be a slight change in color but let's
have what protection We can.
Select fabric easy to work with
one that won't fray or be too bulky in
the seams, and, of course, one with nice
color and design. Tailor it within an
inch of it's life. Farmers Bulletin rs
u. S. Department Of Agriculture, will
tell you how.

committee to guide the selection of the
American Mother for 1888? Some OF
these are that she have an outstanding
record as a successful mother, be of real
character with traits of courage, moral
strength, patience, kindness, under
standing, and have a sense of social
and world relationships
The Committee must have felt that
the 1888 Mother should express the
Joy of living also, for they chose Grace
Non Crowell who has given us so many
lovely, simple poems dealing with happy
home life. One of these she calls "Joy.'
IT have found such a Joy in simple
things:
A plain clean room, a nut-brown loaf
of bread,
A cup of milk, a kettle as it sings,
The shelter of roof above my head;
And in a leaf-faced square upon a
floor,
Where yellow sunlight glimmers
through door.
st have found such joy in things that
fill
My quiet days; curtains blowing
grace,
A growing plant upon a window sill,
A rose, freSh-cut and placed within
! vase;
A table cleared, a lamp beside a chair
And books I long have loved, beside
me there.
ooh, I have found such joy! I wish ]
might
Tell every woman who goes seeking
far
For some elusive, feverish delight,
That very close to home the great
joys are:
These fundamental things-old as the
race,
Yet never, through the ages, COM
monplace."

''Test Pilot" at Ely Theatre
Claimed -Four Star ShOLD.

Spectacular flying, four stellar players
and four-star story provide startling
entertainment in "Test Pilot" most
authentic aviation picture yet produced,
which opens at the Ely Theatre, Satur-
day at 11:15 P. M. for two-day
showing.
Clark Gable, Myrna 10y, Spencer
Tracy and Lionel Barrymore head the
cast of the first air picture produced by
Metro oldwyn Mayer in more than
two years.
Director Victor Fleming has incor-
porated some of the most striking fly
ing scenes yet seen in an aviation pic
ture. The nature of the subject, deal
ing as it does with men who daily dare
their lives in duel with death, in
sures a world of thrills. They're there.
| The story is that of a test pilot,
played by Gable. Without varying
from factual experience, it tells exactly
how one of these daredevils lives, not
sparing the man, but withal showing
that he is human. The romance is a
three affair between Clark
Gable, Myrna 10y and the woman in
the sky" who is the pilots first love.
Spencer Tracy sacrifices his life to
prove to Gable that his wife is far
more important than the calling which
has been forever clutching at the mar
row thread of his life.

B0Y's HOme-Made
Auto Costs $40

RocheSter-An economy car-the
nearly ideal automobile with which to
run around town-has been built by a
local high school freshman. 1t cost
twenty bucks" has three-quarter
horse power motor and can clip it up
at Is miles an hour which is safely
within the city speed limit. Its gaso-
line tank has capacity of one quart
and it can go Is to 20 miles on a quart.
In five weeks it has used less than two
gallons of gasoline. Built by 15-year-
old Billy Ellis, this midget car has other
merits besides operation economy. So
small is it, it can squeeze through any
traffic jam. And when it comes to
parking, any little space will do. 1t
took Billy a smiling red-haired lad,
three months to construct the car, a
one passenger roadster having a leather
upholstered seat. The body is made
of ply-wood, enameled shiny white with
dark blue trim. The three-quarter
horsepower motor is, by rights, wash
ing machine motor and is placed in
the rear of the car. It has one CYL

INFORMAL EDUCATION

The last day of school is always a
happy occasion for the child who likes
school. But children do not stop learn
ing just because they are out of school.
Through work and play, trips, reading
and observation of nature, valuable OPP
portunities are provided for informal
learning.
Each community has an interesting
historical past which busy parents may
not even know about. If there is no
library in you community, get &C
quainted with your state library. Bor-
row books on history and nature study,
and also include interesting fiction. Do
not worry if children want to read a
great deal for reading interest indicates
good mental equipment. A schedule of
work will help children to get tasks
out of the way so they can have I'M
interrupted time for reading.
Even though you cannot take long
trips, take as many short trips to fac
tories and other business places as
possible. just recently a mother told
me she had never been through a
bakery or a print shop until she took
her All club there. Visit historical
places and read the story in connec-
ton with it.
In the summer, live as much as you
can with your children. That time is
all yours. You cannot expect them to
be as interested in your work as you
are, but cooperation is obtained by
getting through work in order to do
other interesting things. Live richly
today for, of course, tomorrow really
never comes.

POISON IVY

A spring such as that just past no
doubt has brought forth its usual crop
of ivy growth and ivy poisonings.
Certain solutions of salts of iron.fave
a neutralizing effect on the poison and
have been used with good results as
representatives.. The solutions may be
applied freely to the exposed parts of
the body and allowed to dry there be-
fore going into a region where con-
tact with poison ivy is probable.
Two preventive solutions are:
1. A solution of parts of ferric
chloride in 95 parts of half and half
mixture of water and glycerine.
2. A solution of one part of ferrous
sulphate in 5 parts of water.
Such solutions are of much benefit
if they are applied as, soon as possible
after the actual contact with the plant
and thorough washing with one of them
even after inflammation has developed
will remove from the exposed surfaces
of the skin all traces of the poison that
can still be reached.
Those who are sensitive to ivy
poisoning should not only avoid touch
ing the plants but also should use care
in handling articles which may have
been intcontact with them. Contamin-
ated shoes and clothing are sources of
poisoning that are sometimes over
looked Repeated applications of heavy
soap lather and thorough rirSing with
warm water should remove all contain

Take unnumbered pounds of fish,

Car Stolen Last
Christmas, Returned.

Redwood Falls-Steve zeug of Lucan
will get his car back, the one which
was stolen from him at Christmas time
last year in Marshall, minus a radio,
a spare tire, and various tools, and
with about 1000 more miles on it..
Mr.. zeug accompanied by Charles Reed
of Redwood Falls and attended a
Christmas program in Marshall, and
afterwards went into cafe to get a
cup of coffee, leaving their car idling
outside. When they came out, the car
was gone, and no trace had been found
of the car until last week. The thief
had made a trip through the southern
states with the car, where he picked up
some Arkansas license plates. Then he
returned to Huron, S. D., where he
enjoyed Mr.. Zeug's car for another
month before the police caught up
with him.

Amber. Fossil Resin

Amber is a fossil resin from
trees of the pine family. 1t is so
old that most of the species produc-
ing it are now extinct. 1t occurs in
irregular masses usually of small
size but weighing up to Is or 10
pounds. Along the shores of the
Baltic sea, especially in East Prus-
STA, mining for amber has been
carried on for two centuries. Shafts
are sunk through superficial
stratum of mari, sand, ETC., finally
to layer of green sand so to go
feet thick. In this green sand is
stratum 4 to feet thick of ''blue
earth" in which amber nodules &C.

square rods yield several thousand
pounds.

wet" before the prize was landed. The
wall-eyed pike caught by the Bensonite
measured 26 inches in length and
weighed 7A pounds. The party caught
the limit and was well satisfied with the
fishing. Three men were angling on
Lake Minnewaska, which was rather
rough that day. They started by max
ing up a jackpot for the first catch
Allen shared the jackpot and his
brother got number two before the big
moment arrived. When Allen hooked
the big boy, his brother was even more
excited. In helping to land the prize
in the rough water, John nearly went
out of the boat after the pike and got
good soaking. Bill reports that he
was merely a spectator at that point of
the fishing trip.

If you wake up one of these mornings
and find the mosquitoes as big as
humming birds, don't be the least bit
surprised This rain and gloomy
weather we've been having for the past
several weeks is exactly what these
''buzzers" have wanted to help them
multiply. Whatever you do, when
planning your fishing trips from now
on, don't forget to include some good
mosquito dope-or cellophane suit
of armor We've been taunting the
tourists throughout the country with
the beauties of the Arrowhead country
but not single word about our mos
quito problem Do you suppose We
ought to warn them so they'll know
what to expect?
If that cork grip on your rod could
stand some spring cleaning, try rub
bling it with some sandpaper! you'll
be surprised at the results.

luminous plugs were on the verge of
selling these lures by the thousands,
along comes word from the game and
fish department saying that the new

fled as artificial lights and are illegal.
Lights may be used when spearing
rough fish in certain counties but in
angling nothing stirring. So you
fishermen, who have been planning on
nabbing some real big ones with your
new-fangled plugs, might just as well
come down to earth and fish the old
fashioned way-like the rest of us COM

Do you know that you can't eat
your lunch on shore and have your
line unattended? The wardens call it
set-line, SO watch your step.
We've been reading about the beauties
of the Arrowhead country in the out
door column of the Chicago Herald &
Examiner for the past few days. Bert
Claflin, editor of this famous column,
spent some time up in this neck of the
woods recently and forwarded his in
tereSting information to the Chicago
paper as fast as he could write it..
Chaflin's descriptions of this beautiful
territory will undoubtedly attract hun
dreds of vacationists in Illinois and
nearby vicinity who are looking for an
ideal spot to fish and rest.
Figure this one out: Although a
drone bee does not have father, 1t
does have grandfather.
Reorganization of MinneSota's game
warden service has resulted in 100
per cent increase in arrests during the
first four months of 1888, compared
with a like period in 1887, according to
Harry E. Speakes, director of game
and fish. Figures show ALI arrests for
the first four months of this year on
game and fish law violations, compared
with 216 last year over the same period.
1--WE are confident that there is no
great increase in game and fish law
violations" said Mr.. SpeakeS, $50 we
believe the increase in arrests is due
to greater vigilance on the part of our
wardens. Wherever wardens are trans
ferred from one district to another, we
found they became more efficient and
their arrests record rose accordingly.
We are not engaged in a campaign to
make as many arrests as possible, but
the present increase in prosecutions
show that In tn now there had heen
much room for improvement in law en-
forcement."

you can easily practice the stroke as
you stretch out, lying on your stomach
on the dressing-table stool or across a
