1.-THE Crooked Man" by Emily
Barto Is an old nursery rhyme low
ed by all children. A succession
Of very funny pictures brings gay
new life to this old nursery rhyme,
and dramatizes it into an exciting
story, filled with unexpected sus-
pense and lively action. It is like
the revival Of an old familiar play;
the artist has wildly brought out
all the humor Of the incidents thru
which move the Crooked Man and
the Crooked Cat and the Crooked
Mouse. It will delight children of
all ages, and the preface, which
tells Of the origin Of the old rhyme,
will be Of interest to their parents
and teachers.
saint Anthony's Pig by Isabel
de Palencia Is another story for
children. Nine little pigs romped
on a hill in Spain. There is never
dull moment from the day Pin
ky, the smallest, goes to live with
Maria, to bide his time till Saint
Anthony's Day. Then, according to
an old Spanish custom, he will be
given so someone very poor, and
bring good luck. An orphan lame
duck, a hungry kitten, and a turtle
become proteges of Pinky, taking
advantage Of all his rights and
privileges. The lively adventures
Of this unusual quartet make a
highly amusing picture-story book,
with real Spanish atmosphere in
the illustrations.
This N That About Senior High
The pepfest Friday was one of
the best! The first 10 members
Of the basketball squad were called
up to give a performance on the
stage. Each drew a slip from a
hat and had to do as it said. Bob
Rattle, who was to initiate a tit
terbug, did the best job. Response,
after a speech by Mr.. Olson, SEEM
ed very good. Good crowd at the
game helped the team beat Long
Prairie.
Operetta practice is in full
swing, with Margaret Whitson and
Bob Rattle in the leads.

THE LANDFALL

charming, sophisticated mood OF
1.-THE Nutmeg Tree"
THE LANDFALL
BY Nevil Hhute
"A real writer" according to
Isabel Paterson in books. Never
theless, Mr.. Shute really writes
novels because he likes to. BY vo-
cation he is an aeronautical engin-
eer. He has Joined the Royal Nav
al Volunteer Reserve and is in the
Admiralty office in London.
Since 1888 he has written three
successful Notwithstanding, Ordeal
and An Old Captivity. All were
very different, but all were best
sellers two Of them major book
club selections. Mr.. Shute success
Is due to the fact that every story
he tells is absorbingly interesting
in itself.
Landfall takes place against the
grim background Of England at
war, the romance Of Jerry Cham
bers and Mona Stevens stands out
like an unexpected day in Spring
midst a brutal winter.
Jerry is flying officer in the
Raj. and as the story opens, COM
pletely fed up with the routine of
coastal patrol off Portsmouth. At
the hotel which is the hangout for
the officers in the various services,
he sees Mona. She has taken the
job Of barmaid at the Royal Clar-
ence because 1t is more exciting
than anything else she can find
to do. They are both young, both
lonely, both ingenious, innocent
and cropping.
1t might have turned out to be
just another wartime romance, but
Jerry's job got him into serious
trouble from which there seemed
to be no escape and from which
there might have been no escape
If it hadn't been for the loyalty
and wisdom Of Mona Stevens.
This is the warm and hearten-
ing book-the most appealing novel
Nevil Shute has ever written.

The Main Streeters are begin
ming to roll, even If Long Prairie
could not be classed as good
team, certain poise and ability
were displayed by Sank Centre.
John Cotton rolled up % points
and seems to have hit his stride.
Defense work is becoming evident
also. Roaring down toward tourn-
ament time it looks as though
Sank Centre may pull one out Of
the bag as they did three years
ago.
The Junior College is display
ing ball handling that this town
has never seen before. They are
rolling up wins over good oppon-
ents. They are certainly crowd
pleasers with their versatile play
ing, yet not enough people show
up to pay the referee. With Stan
Nelson averaging % points In six
games, certainly scoring punch Is
there. For real thrills and enjoy
ment go to a Junior College game
and you won't be sorry.
This N That About the Jr. High.
Flash! The Junior High has an
other pupil, Leroy Enfield Of the
seventh grade.
(The cheer leaders led the Junior
High in a pepfest which was held
in their assembly.
Two new sets Of books pertain
ing to General Science have been
bought for the assembly. The
names of these sets are Through
the Overcoat" and "Your Wings"
and from what I hear they are
very beautifully illustrated. Here
is Miss Everhart's opinion on them
They are easy enough for the
seventh and hard enough for the
ninth" I'd say then that they
have some ideal books. You can
hardly get them If you don't come
early, so urgent Is the demand for
them.
Junior High Classes
There should be law against
this reporter business" when it's
showing. Do you know that just
to please the public I had to prac-
tically plow my way to the Jun
Tor High.
I finally did get there though
and wandered down to find out
what the little mathameticians
were doing. Do you know what
those kind souls are doing? They
are studying taxes for the prime
purpose Cor so I gathered Of help
ing Papa fill out his income tax
report. Oh yes, they devoted half
an hour to one little girl who be-
lieved that one time one equals
two. (What won't they think of
next?)
Miss Nestande's classes are study
ing intransitive and transitive, &C
tive and passive verbs (don't look
at me that way, those are honest
to goodness words, didn't make
them up). Another thing they are
doing Is writing the theme "One
Nation Indivisible." Just to re-
1ieve the monotony of grammar
drills they are starting on "Ivan-
hoe" (ah, for the life Of a soldier
-whoops, knight) at the beginning
Of the new six weeks.
The gym classes are now begin
ming games, but have so far been
studying the fundamentals. The
seventh grade has started Captain
Ball, the eighth grade, Nine Court
Basketball and the ninth, Side Line
Basketball, which is next to reg
ular basketball except 1t takes care
of all people In large classes.
In all my searchings, I couldn't
find Miss Klobe but I got fair
Idea Of what they are doing just
by looking at her room. There
were black and white designs all
over, really clever ones too. Be
sides that some people are making
their own original monograms.
The seventh grade history classes
are studying Minnesota's early ter
