connection with the State Board OF
Health in establishing a free clinic
in Holmes county for the treatment
and prevention of syphilis.
This movement was started by the
local B. & P. w. Club and has been
taken UP by the clubs all over the

out syphilis. The clinic will be estab-
lished by the State Health Depart
ment provided the county will pay

No action by the board has been

three different museums. By combin-

when you get into the realm of big

much camera work such amateur

Not a few have found their cameras

dress and a little hat to match. We
heard her scream" Then she rolled up
the paper as if it had not been opened
and put it back on the porch.
Dark came, but she lighted no lights.
After a while she took off her shoes
and walked without sound to her
room; for some reason she did not
want to hear the sound of her own feet
walking. There was no light in her
room except the arc light that shone
in from the alley and fell slantwise
across her bed She undressed and got
into bed.
When the light went out she knew it
was two o'clock; all the city lights
went out at two. She lay very still, as
people do who are not asleep.
The city clock rang the hours. When
it was dawn, she heard the sound that
was not sound - only he could move
so silently in the night. She did not
move or open her eyes. but she knew
when he paused at her door. He stood
there moment. and she heard no
breathing, only smelled his smell, faint
smell of liquor and stale cigars. Then
he went to the kitchen. When he was
there, she raised herself without a
sound, in her bed; she too could move
as he did, very softly.
He was standing by the stove. She
saw him take something from his
pocket. "a little sleeve, red and white
plaid, torn from child's dress. He put
it quickly on the Goals and watched 1t
burn.
Her face was turned to the wall
when he came in - there were nights
when he flashed light to see if her lids
moved, so tonight she had covered her
eyes; she was afraid.
She felt the shape of his body in the
dark, his alert body. still and watch
full: saw, in her minds eye. his two
blunt hands so cold and swift hanging
at his sides. A scream that did not
utter itself twisted her throat. She
sprang forward. "Eddie!'
Out acting" A sharp breath cut
off his words. Then he said: "Now lis
ten, l got to get some sleep. see?" His
voice jerked with nerves and once
more she felt his menace, all the ten
sion of his evercoiled and ruthless
threat. She saw, too. how handsome his
face was, only his eyes cold and too
steady, filled with their one unchang-
ing look of hate for all the world.

etc., and the highways are dotted with
little stands selling fruit and orange
juice, all you can drink for 1Oc.
California is overrun with migra-
tory laborers, people who have de-
serted the dust bowl, packed their
families in rickety old cars and seek
work as fruit pickers, etc. Their lot
is a hard one, living as gypsys. 1t
is tragic to notice on the highways
old men trudging with pack sacks
seeking few days work.
A comparative picture of growers
here as compared with home: 1t takes
fruit raisers years before their trees
bear, they pay for irrigation, they
spend large sums for pest control,
and fruit doesn't wait for high
prices" 1t ripens quickly and has
to be moved to salvage anything.
Growers at present are offered only
$18 ton for apricots, best grade and
it costs Sc ton to have the fruit
picked. Tomatoes, $40 ton deliv-
cred. 1t is self-evident that it is a
battle to make ends meet. Nine out
of 10 farms are mortgaged above their
actual value.
Yes, granted that we do not have
the mild winters of California, Min
nesota still has its advantages and is
a pretty nice place to live in. Our
honest opinion is that it is right up
among the bright spots of the nation.
Well stick to rutabagas, potatoes, but
