For Better Homemaking

For new summery note for your
porch or living room center a mirror,
preferably one without frame, on a
wall and surround with wrought iron
brackets holding small colorful pots
filled with vines and Towering plants.
New summer wastebaskets can be
achieved by covering the cheap tin
basket with a gay remnant of mate
rial. All you need is your scissors
and bottle of glue.
If you're making up fresh gay cur
tains for summer and are tired of the
old heavy curtain rods that held the
winter draperies ask some male mem
Der of the family to make you some
plain wood cornices. Cover these with
the same material you are using for
your curtains and you'll have most
pleasant change.
If your dining room worries you by
looking dark and dismal this bright
spring weather why not change its
face If your furniture is mahogany
or walnut, try white and mulberry
wallpaper. A deep turquoise rug will
do wonders with this. For draperies
find a chintz or linen crash with tur-
quoise background highlighted with a
floral design with some mulberry
touches

ed an ankle.
A tragic sidehght on Halls
death concerns his mother in Furu-
grenda, Norway, unaware Of her
sons passing. probably happy with
the thought that her boy sigurd. Is
safe in the u. s., far from the war
In his native land.

Against ST. Cloud the locals took

They went down under a AZ to 36

the Morris boys they shone rather

Judging from their start in
the current race, the Indies
themselves are fairly optimistic

They've only just started and

Personally I'm not going to sell
anyone short. Comparative scores
are worth about as much as my
opinion. But I'm not going to
forget Upsala with a nice bunch
of lads, veterans moving in there
this year. Nor even Grey Eagle
who made it tough for bigwig Osa-
kis, losing by only a six or seven
point margin. I feel that If
things get to a dogfight, and re-
serve strength tells the tale, the
shares will go to Alex. Cuz Bill
Williams has them stacked several
deep like cordwood. And he's
virtually the only one in the district
who has a reserve roster of COM
parable men. -.
OsaIxis is short on them. So
is Melrose. So is Sauk Centre.
Upsala can't have too many.
Glenwood I wouldn't say for
sure as yet. ). But Alexandria
does have. If anyone wins
the district this year, with the
exception of OsaIis and Mel
rose, they get it on dark horse
stripes No one else is really
figured singularly strong
enough to rOmp right through.
But Osads, with the most i'm
pressive record and a ball club
that has pOise, Is on the spot.
They'll be cunning for her. -.
Let me give you MelrOse, head
ed by veteran Butch Wagner,
as the club with the greatest
pOise we've seen. That may
count for them plenty i'm the
fight that this district promises
to have this season.
These Indies boys-who are not
from India at all but are the Inde-
pendents, have taken late start in
the field but already are doing some
amazing work. In their first
bout before local fans they top
pied the Buccaneers in a giant
killer role. Now with Long
Prairie, and Melrose behind them.
they're looking for a berth in the
Independent district tournament to
be a March event in Montevideo.
