For that reason many fairy stories
and some of the Mother Goose
rhymes are put under the ban by
DR.. Baruch.
Tell little children fairy stories,
but only such as their own expert
ences will enable them to recognize
as fanciful. A city child who never
has seen pig will accept as true a
story Of pig building a house of
bricks. But country child will not.
He knows pigs don't do such things"
And Santa Claus-should little
children be told about him2
Certainly" said DR.. Baruch, "but
not as the rewarder of good children
and the punisher of bad ones. Teach
them that Santa Claus is the spirit
of Christmas"

Now. Perhaps. Bette Davis
Will Give Up Her Grimness.
Those followers of the cinema who
constantly are taking this depart
ment to task for its unqualified
admiration for Bette Davis, the ones
who think what Miss Davis needs
is a change of part, may find sup
port in the current cases of Greta
Garbo and Marlene Dietrich. They
are two actresses, certainly, who
have accomplished wonders for any
jaded feeling they may have created
by f1agrantly reversing their chronic
moods. In neither Miss Garbo's gay
portrait of a Stain agent in mi
notchka" nor Miss Dietrich's stormy
dance hall siren in "Destry Rides
Again" is there the slightest flavor
OF that repetition which so often is
laid at the door of Miss Davis. AS
a result, both occupy much brighter
inches in the galaxy of stars which
rides in the Hollywood armament.
Miss Davis case, of course, is far
less acute. In spite of any mumbling
which hints of a gathering storm of
discomfort, she stands today on the

screen capital.
Economically, the biggest story
of Hollywood's year was the screens
reaction to the European war. Bud
gets were slashed one-third and
many workers were laid off in
frantic efforts to compensate for a
80 per cent loss in world revenue.
Hardly a day passed without the
wires tapping out gay and sad little
stories of marriage, divorce, separa-
ton, studio walkouts, court actions,
the discovery of new star, or the
death of an old-timer. Among the
name" folks, marriages and
divorces came out exactly even for
the year-with "a in each column.
There were 16 births and adoptio1ls
by screen couples and 17-mostly

A quit claim deed will be provided
the owner upon fulfillment Of the
obligation.
Mineral rights are not reserved by the
state.
Under provisions of a second state
act dealing with the sale of forfeited
lands now held by the state, property
can be sold after it has been appraised,
notice of sale published once a week
for two weeks in some official newspaper
Of the county, and last publication to
be not less than 10 days previous TO
commencement of the sale.
Notices of this property will be on
file in the auditors office. County
commissioners may refuse the sale OF
any lands that are removed from easy
access to roads or have no school facih-
ties. The state conservation commission
will make selection of lands that are
more suitable for reforestation than
agricultural purposes. The appraisal
value then is submitted TO the city,
village or town in which the lands are
located.
The comfy will accept payment Of
such sales at 10 per cent down, the
balance in 10 annual installments with
interest at 4 per cent and a pledge to
pay current taxes as due. Failure to
carry out the agreement will result in
immediate loss of the land to the state.
The state in this case reserves mineral
rights.
The forfeited land sale does not affect
property which can be repoSSessed
under the state reposseSSing law.

yard sprint.

Walter EngIund Writes
On Weber-CarIey Bill.

Walter E. Englund, executive secre-
tary of the Minnesota Educational as
ISOLATION. formerly superintendent of
the Ely schools, gave his views on the
tax situation and range schools in his
Crossroads and Highways column in
the May issue of the NJ E. A. Journal.
In the article he stated:
The Range schools would have been
seriously affected by the passage of the
Weber-Carley bill. Institutional SER
vice would, undoubtedly, have been cur
tailed; some 1900 teachers would have
suffered. The danger is now over
until the next session. The immediate
danger is over, and there is time to
review the situation. We find that
school boards who turned TO teachers
and their organization for help, who
held up the schools as a major reason
for the defeat of the bill, who pleaded
the cause of education, may, after all,
have lacked sincerity in their pro-
testations. Five communities, as re-
ported to this office, proceeded to pro-
tect their interests by dismissing their
teachers as a means Of meeting an
ticipated financial stress!
Strange, indeed, must be the in
tereSts' which neceSsitate the elimina-
ton Of teachers to protect education.
This action is the more inexcuSable
since it was utterly unnecessary. The
provisions of the bill would have pro-
tected the school boards in levying
funds to meet obligations entered into
prior to its passage, teachers contracts
therein included. The dismissal actions
were. unnecessary; they were also un-
wise. We surmise that they were prob
ably illegal. A definite resentment is
growing against the Range practice of
having the schools front for them in
these controversies, and actions such as
those indicated will inevitably build
a resistance in other state areas which
will eventually be insurmountable. VIII
that be in 1914? Probably so.
"1941 is but two years away. An in
term committee will report to the
legislature on a study of Range ex-
penditures and taxation. 1t would seem

SLIPS FOR SUMMER SHEERS.

Summertime will soon be here. And
with it the need for replenishing the
slip supply, particularly those for use
under sheer summer frocks.
The type of slip that you have need
for varies from type appropriate for
use with tailored dresses to that of a
dressy sheer afternoon frock.
The individual needs determine the
material and style Of the slip. Its SER
vice will depend upon the quality Of the
fabric and construction.
In selecting a slip take time to try
it on to determine whether the style
and fit are as desired. 1t should fit
about the hips with sufficient ease for
sitting without strain. 1t should be
free of wrinkles and bulges at the waist
line, bustline and under the arms. An
even hem the right length will save
the effort Of making alterations before
wearing the slip
Workmanship can lengthen or lessen
the life Of the slip, and make ironing
easy or hard. Seams or finishes should
be flat and machine stitching should be
close. Straps that branch off and at
tach in two places distribute the strain.
In case of lace trim, straps should ex-
tend down to the fabric.
Ask about the color. While tinting
may rescue the garment, it is a bother.
And last, but by no means least i'm
portant, read the LABEL for definite
information. The manufacturer prin-
ted label or tag should make a definite
statement about weighing and loading
of silk and synthetics. Avoid reading
more into the label than actually
stated Ewes E. Whitfield.

BACKYARD VACATIONS
MAY BE BEST.

The backyard vacation for a small
child is probably the very best pos
sible kind Of vacation for him. It
means no interruption to the process Of
training and the daily routine, no
change in diet, no strange surround
ings that require adjustment, and none
of the discomfort which a long trip
holds for an active child
Plenty Of exercise, fresh air and
sunlight are available in the right
kind Of yard at home. A Sandpile, a
few packing boxes of various sizes, two
or three planks, a sawhorse, and a
short ladder treated TO remove splinters,
make playtime equipment that IS at
tractive and challenging to the small
child. In addition, he should have
shovels and sand toys, a wagon or tri-
cycle and he can make his own play
ground. -CMrS) Belle Osborn Fish.

goods with confidence which made
your buying pleasant in place of
