Every man has ms price,
and therefore Bard valley
can be had. But not all of it,
because spirits don't have a
price
Strangely enough, this is a major
stumbling block when disgruntleo
landowners at Bard argue:
why not buy out the whole val
ley and end this pickering about
seepage from the All American cam
al? Let the place turn into swamp
and save all the money that will be
sunk into trying to keep the AL
American from leaking. Let her
leak"
This argument is used both by
those hopeless farmers who feel
no method will prevent seepage, as
well as those who have speculative
profits in view. The latter group
naturally, keep their speculative
ambitions to themselves.
A million or SO will buy the soil
in the northend, inhabited by white
homesteaderS, the farmers argue.
(This price probably would rise
considerably when and if improve
ments and buildings were counted
inD
But what about the south end,

tered? Those close to the Indians
say it would be like pulling up Red

By NEA Service
 New York-There is no better way, so far as the youngsters are concerned, for Mother to observe National Children's Week-March 6 to 12 = than by sprucing up youthful wardrobes for Spring.
 A suit season is just ahead and Little Sister will get as big 8 thrill out of a new spring suit as will Big Sister.
 Little Sisters suit may be made of a plaid or a plain fabric, or a combination of the two. Chances are it will have feminine touches, even though tailored = tiny darts inverted pleats, and pockets in sur prising places.
 As for daughters spring coat, either a little or big girl would feel her Sunday best in one of the handsome new reefers.
 One particularly smart version is a herringbone tweed reefer that has squared of shoulders and high slit pockets. Its smart tailoring is enough to make any style-conscious young ster swagger just 8 bit when Father takes her to a Saturday matinee. The monastic lines Mother has talk en to have been borrowed for Little Girl dresses modified, of course with stitching under the belt hold ing the fullness in place.
 The very young have borrowed still another style from the ladies: petticoat dresses with eyelet en- broidery playing peek-a-boo from under crisp skirts. They are just right for parties.
 Play clothes are designed for looks, comfort and service = with comfort making no sacrifices to cuteness.
 One outfit that is smart as can be is a front-laced pull-over of vercerized lisle with a broadcloth skirt in matching color. It's practi- cal, too, for it will wear well, is easily laundered and will not irri- tate the skin.
