Music Festival.

Members of the mixed chorus, and
the Junior and the Senior High Glee
Clubs participated in the Music Festi-
val at Sandstone last Friday. Be-
cause of the bad roads, the attendance
was not what it should have been,
but those who went gained a great
deal from it.
In the morning the vocal groups
entertained. A parade of all the
school bands was planned for the
afternoon, but the weather did not
permit. In the afternoon, bands from
Moose Lake, Sandstone, Willow River
and Hinckley entertained. Other
schools participating at the music
festival were Bruno, Finlayson and
Askov.
The evening program consisted of
massed chorus, massed girls glee
clubs, and massed band numbers.
DR.. Hazel B. Nohavec directed the
massed chorus and the massed girls
glee clubs, and Bertram Mccarthy
the massed band.

Defense Bonds
Continued from Page II
Interest Figured at 2.9 per cent

A defense bond may be purchased
May l, or thereafter, for $18.75. In
ten years, this bond will be worth
$500. This is an increase of 33 1I3
per cent, equal to an annual interest
return of 29 per cent, compounded
semi-annually. Any time after go
days from the date of purchase, the
bond may be redeemed for cash, in
accordance with a table of redemp-
ton values printed on the face of
the bond.
To spread investments widely
among all the people in America, a
limit of $4,000 has been set on the
amount of these bonds to be bought
by any one person in one year. The
bonds are in denominations of $25,
$50, 500, $500 and $1,000, all of
which are sold for IS per cent of
their maturity value and all of which
mature in ten years.
Bonds for Larger Investors.
For larger investors who can af-
ford to purchase up to $4,000 worth
of bonds year, the Treasury de-
partment has issued two additional
kinds of defense savings bonds, but
these will be sold only through banks
and by direct mail from Washing
ton, D. c. They are intended for
associations, trustees and corpora
tons, as well as individual purchas-
erS.
For the smaller investor who wants
to buy a government bond on an
easy payment plan, the post office
will have new series of postal saw
ings stamps, at 10c, Csc, soc, ST and SIS.
Each purchaser of any savings stamp
higher than 10c will be given, free
of charge, an attractive pocket album
in which to paste his stamps until
he has enough to buy a $25 bond

the last of July and August when the
other blue grass pasture is asleep.
Sometimes fertilizing peat ground is
necessary to make the grass as palat-
able as it should be, and often times
when a complaint is made that ca
nary grass is not palatable, it is due
to the fact that it is too matured and
any grass loses it's palatability
when it becomes matured.
Second crop alfalfa will also pro-
vide some summer feed without hurt
ing the stand if it is not pastured
too late in the fall. In some places
sudan grass does fairly well, although
it is a hot weather crop and will not
do well too far north. Divide the
permanent pasture and Craze part of
it at a time is one way that the
pasture can be made to produce more
feed, and application of barnyard
manure is another practice for perma-
nent pasture.

Grazing

Pasture is the cheapest feed that
can be provided for livestock. In
spite of that, many farms give stock
about two months of good summer
eating and then keep them on half
feed for the rest of the time. There
is no economy of production, whether
it is meat or milk, in such system,
says County Agent Max McMillin.
He points out that the old perma-
nent blue grass pasture delivers good
grazing in June and early July; then
it goes to sleep for the summer, and
wakes up only slightly in the fall.
The solution of the poor pasture
problem is found in the above dia-
gram which shows how to keep stock
in good grass for nearly six months.
The county agent suggests that if
there is some low ground on the farm
that this be worked up and seeded
into canary grass, as this makes an
abundance of good pasture during

First Visit to the Dentist.

A child's first visit to the dentist
should be made as soon as all his
baby teeth have appeared. Try to
give him the impression beforehand
that the dentist is new friend who
will help him to keep his teeth nice
and who has interesting things to
show him.
Unfortunately, many children ac-
quire fear of the dentist from hear
ing about unpleasant dental expert
ences of certain older children or
adults. They rebel against going to
the dentist because they have picked
up the notion that he is man who
hurts people. Dread of the dentist can
be avoided if the child makes his
first visit to the dental office before
he has had chance to gather mis-
leading ideas about it.
Probably no dental work will need
to be done on this first occasion. Aft
er friendly relations have been es-
tablished, the dentist may examine
the child's mouth, noting the de-
velopment of the jaws and the con-
dition of the teeth, also the child
general behavior. He can then adj
wise the parents about breaking any
bad habits, such as thumb sucking,
which the youngster may have ac-
quired. He will also tell them how
soon the child should be brought in
for his next examination or for neces-
sary treatment. Such treatments are
not likely to take long or to be I'M
pleasant at this period of the child's
life.
1t is strongly urged that parents
take the child to the dentist before
the child develops any noticeable
trouble with his teeth. Tooth decay
may begin very early in some chill
dren, in some cases as early as two
years of age. We cannot prevent de-
cay from starting, but we can check
its progress in the early stages and
thus prevent toothache, dangerous
dental assesses, and loss of teeth.
No child need ever learn from his
own experience the meaning of the
words 'toothache" or "extraction", if
he has early and frequent dental at
tention.

Work on County Salaries Bill.
Senator c. Elmer johnson and my
self finally passed bill relative to
the salaries of the county officials
of Pine county that we attempted to
be a compromise between the town
boards and the county board. We
have established the minimum at the
figure requested by the town boards,
and the maximum at the figures of
about what they draw now, leaving
it up to the county board to compro-
mise between these levels. And we
have decided to drop the excess levy
bill for this session. The contention
of the county board seems to be that
the legislature should do one of two
things, either allow them to control
their own expenditures, as far as the
revenue fund is concerned, or allow
them to levy sufficient revenue to
pay the expenditures set by the state.
And so we have, at least partially,
tried to do that.
