Color Harmony in
The Home Becomes
Essential Point

Color harmony in a home in Cali
fornia has become just as essential
as rugs, curtains and blinds.
The 1910 home in California will
carry out this color motif from
kitchen to bedroom, from den to
living room. In fact clear out to
the typical California patio.
California women are accustomed
to colors in their clothing, both
in evening and sports wear. They
seek the same colorful motifs
throughout their homes.
The use of venetian blinds in
homes has made it possible to adapt
color schemes which are practical
for both day time and night time
due to the amount of natural light
which can be controlled through
the use of such blinds.
In the new home today, a woman
has the choice of a wide color
motif which can be carried out
through rugs. wall paper, paneling
wall texture covering such as "grass
paper, the blending of rug colors
with walls, ceiling, woodwork, and
furniture.
Tile colors can be harmonized
with rugs, wall paper and curtains
in bathrooms and kitchens. These
colors can be chosen before the
actual construction has started,
Roberts said, by visits to the show
rooms of materials concerns.

Word 'Raisin' From Latin

The word "raisin" is of ancient
origin, derived from the Latin word
for "cluster of grapes" "racemus.
The name was at one time restrict
ed to the small yellow grape grown
in limestone soil near Smyrna, in
Asia. The average time of drying
and curing tray of raisins is about
three weeks, all depending on the
weather. The earliest picked grapes
dry in 10 days and the later ones
often take four weeks or more The
punches are cut from the vines and
placed on shallow trays two feet
wide, three feet long, and one inch
high, on which the grapes are al
lowed to sun-dry, being turned from
time to time by simply placing an
empty tray top side down on the full
one, then turning both over and TAX
ing off the top tray. After the raisins
are dried they are stored away in
the sweat boxes until they are
packed and prepared for shipment.

Strychnine is one of the oldest
poisons known to man, and is none
other than the Kuruchilla of the an
cient Hindus, according to a writ

Europe it was described as having
no medicinal value as late as A. D.

turtles before in the treatment of
dysentery. fevers and dyspepsia.
The drug is obtained from the
seeds of the Strychnos Nux Vomica,
or poison-nut tree, which grows in
the East Indies. They are broad,

cred with tiny, downy hairs, and
very bitter when tasted.

High school transportation aid to
transport rural pupils to high school.
Payment as much as 81 per pupil
per month Tin fully where needed.
The above points have a very
definite bearing upon the funda-
mental principle of school support
and the equalization of educational
opportunities for all children in the
state. Your county superintendent
has gone out of his way into "dan-
gerous territory" to stir up interest
and sentiment in favor of the above
four vital points affecting Pine coun-
ty schools and state school aids. Your
wholehearted support is needed.
Opposition is Organized.
On January IL, the Minneapolis
Tribune quotes Senator Rockne to
the effect that, "this legislature will
have to take action to switch funds
over to the operating costs" The
Senator is also quoted as saying, 81
believe that the exercise of a little
common sense in distribution of ap-
preparations and various taxes will
hurt no one"
Walter Englund of the Minnesota
Education Association answers Mr..
Rockne thus: "No, the diverting of
the net income tax funds from the
schools will not hurt anyone but the
school children and the local prop
erty taxpayers. Legislators are
bracing themselves for a fight in
which the Twin Cities, Duluth and
certain southern Minnesota commun-
tiles will join forces to control the
situation at the expense of the
schools"
We feel that our Senator, c. Elmer
Johnson, and our Representative, c.
G.. Mann, are both strong for the
four points listed above. Let us all
support them, too. These and other
points mean so much to Pine county
schools and taxpayers. We should
be 100 percent united in this.
