Mrs. Harr wore a black chiffon
and Chantilly lace gown, and Mrs.

OF particular interest and beauty
was the gown worn by Miss Perrin.
Over a hundred years old, the ma
terial was of Chinese embroidered
silk, in the"mist pink shade, which
also was the shade chosen by Miss
Kennedy. Her dress was of pink
tulle banded with silver. Both
gowns had very full skirts, tight
bodices and tiny sleeves. They

and all the ladies in the line had
white orchids, sent by airplane by

Program
Given For Benefit of
Young Lady Who
Was Paralyzed

Being neighborly is an attribute
Of the horse and buggy days, and
in this day when we are prone to
forget that neighborliness is one
of the finest things of life, it is
refreshing to learn that the good
people of Ada, Minnesota, have that
feeling and are exercising it to the
fullest measure.
The people of Ada, on Wednes-
day staged a Good Neighbors Par
ty for the benefit of an unfortunate
girl, the daughter of former Sank
Centre lady. This young lady is
Miss Vivian Murphy, daughter of
Mrs. E. J. Murphy, better remem-
bered in this community as Miss
Tessie Buckley. sister of Mrs. Lee
Johnson and Mrs. Robert Plant.
At the fair grounds the people
of Ada staged a large party, with
entertainment furnished by the
Nash Coffee Hayloft Jamboree. In
asmuch as the regular night Of
radio broadcast for this unit is held
Wednesday evening, their broadcast
was given directly from the fair
grounds. The program opened at
$3.50 with a concert featuring the

Supervised Farm Practice Program

Each student enrolled in Agri-
culture in the Sank Centre Public
Schools must set up a short-time
and a longtime farming program
under the guidance of the instruc-
tor, and with the consent of his
parents. The instructor must make
visits to the boys home to see how
fast he is progressing, and suggest
any changes which he sees fit.
The chief detectives of this pro-
gram are:
l. To form a foundation around
which to build good, sound, prac-
tical course of study for the boy.
2. To create within the individ-
ual an appreciation of farming as
a business.
3. To assist the boy in becom-
ing established in farming by grad
ually increasing the amount of cap
itol he has invested in the farming
business.
There are three kinds of super
vised farm practice projects:

Feeding The Family" Sub

What Stearns county homemak-
ers want to know more about is
Feeding the Family" This is the
subject rural women have chosen
for the home demonstration pro-
ject to be conducted this fall and
winter, announced Home Demon
stration Agent, Ellen L. Moline. It
is project in which the entire
county may well be interested,
since it means not only better
health, but better times.
Minnesota's bounteous crops
mean that there need be no short
age of food this coming winter.
However, the kind Of food each
person gets is as important to his
health as the amount, so selection
is a very important matter, says
Miss Inez Hobart, extension nutri-
ton specialist of the University
Farm staff, who will train the local
leaders during the coming projects.
Few families in Minnesota will
suffer from malnutrition through
lack of food, but many do not I'M

will give real health protection"
says Miss Hobart. mot only the
health, but also the wealth of a
community depends largely on the
food used. Experience Of the past
few years has shown how a meager
consumption of food can help
create burdensome SURPRISES, while
a fully adequate diet would stim-
ulate demand.
For example, If every child in
Minnesota was able to have a quart
Of milk a day, instead Of a pint,
Minnesota's dairy business would
be expanded. That a far better
nutritional condition can be main
tanned on a quart Of milk a day,
instead of pint, has been proven
by DR.. Sherman, of Columbia Uni
versity in experiments with white
rats. These experiments covered

boy must assume full ownership.
Examples-pig, dairy calf, poultry,
corn and grain.
2. The Supplementary projects;
the boy enters partnership with his
parents. Examples-tests the dairy
cows, tests soils, treats seed, plants
windbreaks, keeps farm records.
8. The Improvement projects;
the boy in partnership with his
parents. Examples-cleans up the
yard, paints buildings, repairs the
fences, improves sanitation prac-
tees.
It would take a very large book
to just list the various projects
from which the boys may choose
when setting up their farming pro-
gram; therefore, two or three
weeks early in the school year will
be spent in setting up individual
farm practice programs for the
boys.-Edward Schwochert.
