Plan School Child's Clothes
With Your Time in Mind.

If you are among that thoughtful
group of homemakerS that has set aside
larger amount of money than usual
for clothing this month, it probably
means that you are planning for the
all-important school clothes. Mothers
who have worked on school wardrobes
year after year know that the degree
of success and apparent casualness of
each child's school wardrobe is actually
a direct reflection of the amount and
kind of planning that has gone into it,
BY answering some of these questions
perhaps you will receive help in your
planning this year:
Are you planning to save some of the
money set aside so that your child may
buy that certain sweater or cap that
all the rest of the boys or girls will
suddenly start wearing to school one
day? If you intend to sew, have you
considered the relative value of making
and of buying specific garments? Are
you considering the time you have to
sew? Will you take on only an amount
of sewing that can be handled without
making the family grumble at the
getting ready for school?" Have you

Children Will be Orderly
With Own Cupboard Space.

Have you noticed that mother seems
to be the family valet? She spends
hours every day picking up blocks after
Tommy, muddy rubbers after Mary and
nightshirts, soiled clothes, papers and
magazines after the various members
of the family. It's no more than fair
that everybody from grandfather down
to the two-year-old should look after
his own things.
An inducement to the children may
be an attractive cupboard with shelves
and drawers that they can reach and
call their very own. They will be
proud as Punch if there's a special
hook for them in the closet or a rod
low enough for them to hang their
wraps.
A row Of hooks near the back entry
is ideal for the children's play clothes,
and a narrow shelf for caps and nit
tens. A rack or shelf below for rubbers
and overshoes completes the equipment
If you provide these facilities in time
for the opening day of school, perhaps
the habits will become fixed from the
very first day.-Mary May Miller home

Forester Explains
Lumber-PiLing Art

Such a simple things as failing to
pile newly sawed lumber properly, casts
Minnesota farmers thousands of dollars
annually, says Clemens kaufman, as
siStant extension forester, University
Farm, ST. Paul. He advises prompt at
tention to green lumber in order to
prevent varying, checking, staining,
and rotting.
In place of leaving lumber in heap,
or piling it in compact formation where
air cannot circulate freely through it,
Kaufman suggests rectangular piles
to 8 feet wide, built square and flush
on both ends, with one-inch stickers or
cross spacers of seasoned material
placed between each layer of boards.
An inch and a half or two inches
should be left between each board and
even-width boards should be TERED
directly above one another so that
narrow air shafts extend up through
the entire pile.
An even and uniform drying of the
boards is desirable to avoid the checks
and end cracks that result from uneven
shrinkage. To insure this a sturdy
foundation, well off the ground is
needed to permit the wind to blow
underneath. Cross Sills should be
spaced every four feet under the pile
and these should be arranged so that
the lumber slopes about one inch per
foot from front to rear.
Stickers of seasoned material are best
in order to prevent the development of
blue stain, harmful fungus growth
that would otherwise find ideal con-
ditions in the solid area where the
stickers support the boards. Weeds,
rotten boards and chips or the presence
of woods or trees around the lumber
pile also encourage blue stain.

Ely Baseball Team Faces
Another Crucial Weekend
Winds Up Season Here Sunday
With Bull; Travels to
Virginia, Saturday.

Right up with the league leaders, be-
cause of victories over Virginia and
Calumet, the Ely city baseball team
faces another crucial weekend that will
| determine whether it finished the
season near the top or with the middle
bracket clubs.
With II wins and defeats, Ely will
complete its schedule this weekend
playing at Virginia, Saturday night in
engaging Bull on the local diamond
Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock
The Bull encounter will count as
two games, and undoubtedly will be a
blood battle from start to finish. The
initial meeting of the two early in the
season was climaxed by an argument
in the ninth that ended, for the time
being, as Ely left the field on the long
end of to score After listening to
both sides, the league president ruled
it as no contest and that the game
Sunday would have to count as two.
This feud, which has been nursed
along to lesser or greater extent for
many weeks, will be settled Sunday in
"a game which for Ely may be the most
important of the year, especially if the
boys can turn the tables on Virginia
for a second time Saturday evening.
Last Saturday they scored one of the
seasons biggest upsets by downing the
Queen City, I'll, in a seven-inning
struggle in the local ball park. The
trouncing given Virginia was thorough
and complete, and provided local fans
baseball entertainment deluxe.
Clyde Hendy, Cook, working on the
mound for Ely allowed the visitors only
four scattered hits. Manager w. v.
Langens club smashed the combined
deliveries of two hurlers for nine safe
blows, one good for two bases and
another for three. They went into a
firSt-inning, 20 lead, and added
another run in the third, three more
in the fifth, and their seventh in the
sixth. Virginia scored one in the third
Next day Frank Vertnik hurled the
club to 100 shutout over Calumet
The two clubs dug into their baseball
repertoire and pulled out everything
but home runs There were one-baSe
hits, two-base hits, and three-base hits;
wild pitches, nine of them; stolen bases;
walks, and II strikeouts. Only four
Calumet players got as far as third,
and one of them was put out at home
as he attempted to score on a single
by a teammate Vertnik allowed them
but five hits.
While Calumet went scoreless, Ely
had a field day at bat collecting Is
hits. Joe Novak with a triple and two
singles, and Al Banks with three one
baggers, lead the hitting. Everyone
but Frank Swigel, who played but four
innings, scored at least once.
In the return game Sunday with Vir-
ginia, Hendy, Cook veteran, who orig
inally came from the Queen City, will
probably pitch, Manager Langen an
nounces. Vertnik will get the call for
the Bull encounter, but Hendy may
hurl part of the game. Since it was
umpire trouble that caused all the fuss
in the first game, two neutral officials
are being secured. One is 'Swede"
Pergol of Chisholm, and the other yet
to be named.
The box scores.
