The Three Rs

I dare you--to look up the old

modern to have one, at least get

about how funny you look and
how strange the clothes were then

Analyze it carefully to see just
what has turned that lovely crea-
ture into a middle-aged person. One
factor more than any other will
stand out, namely, gain in weight

that is. unless you have experienced
only the emotions of an Egyptian
mummy, but the main difference
will be the thickening of the
silhouette and the face and the

If you took off those extra pounds
today and still had that eager,
questing spirit shining from the
eyes there really wouldn't be so
much difference. The eager. alive
spirit will follow the pickup In

Sometimes there is nothing to be
done about the thing that worries
us. Then do nothing about it, but
do something about the task at
hand. The garden needs cleaning.
1t always does. There are closets
to tidy and silver to polish and
clothes to be mended and others
to be made. There are people worse
off than you and need your help
Go to them and keep busy.
Don't feel that you are the only
one to correct bad situation. You

ers half the load is lifted.
Keep cheerful. There are enough
born weepers in the world to do
justice to our woes, but there is a
scarcity of cheerful souls who could
bring a gleam of hope to saddened
folk near the door. Cultivate a
hopeful spirit. Even while admit
ting the worst has happened, if you
must, keep cheerful spirit that
allows hope for tomorrow.
Nobody wants you to smile and
smile until your face cracks. There
is no use in smiling unless you
feel like it, You can be cheerful; F.;
you can speak and move cheerfully;
you can find place for a comfort

And always you can keep busy.
1t is fatal to sit down with folded
hands. There is no time and there
is no place for that today. Look
up good books; find stories for the
children and for the disabled. the
aged and the sick. Cook and mend

Is Now
An Outmoded
Institution
Modern Girls Only
Resent Mothers
Wafchtulness
BY Dorothy Dix

Dear Dorothy Dix: How can I
make my mother see that my flance
and l have the right to be alone
and have some private conversation
on the one or two nights week
that he comes to see me? She in
Sists on sitting in the same room
with us and listening to everything
we say. If he stays later than IL
o'clock she asks him to leave, which
Is very embarrassing to us.
We are both % years old and de-
cent young people, and we certainly
don't want to do anything wrong.
We hate to have to 60 out every
time we want any private CONVEX
sation, because we are both tired
after working all day. But what
else can we do? We can't talk like
we would like to with her sitting
around and criticizing everything
We say.
If we go out and come in even
few minutes after IL, she raises
the roof. What can we do? If you
will write something about this I
will see that she reads it. even if
have to paste it on her dresser.
DISGUSTED DAUGHTER.
Answer-Your mother seems to
have forgotten all about her own
girlhood and how she felt about a
third party listening in when your
father came accounting her. III
warrant she didn't encourage HER
mother to sit around like skeleton
at the feast every time he called and
| thereby turn the evenings that
should have been a happy two
some into boring threesome.
No doubt your mother thinks she
is protecting you by her presence,
but from what and whom? What
danger is a girl in from the fine
young man who is going to make her
his wife? And. if a girl can take
care of herself out in the wicked
world all day, why does she need a
guard in her own home in the eve
nings? 1t is loves labor lost on your
mothers part, and she certainly is
losing her beauty sleep for nothing.
Can't you make her see that the
chaperon is an outmoded institution
/ in these days and that the condi-
/ tions of modern life have abolished
her job? The trouble with all es-
pionage is that it falls down some
where. And especially is mother
/ spying fruitless. Her daughters GO
where she cannot go. She can't
hold their hands all day while they
are taking dictation. She can't stand
/ by their sides while they are selling
( goods. And she is silly to attempt
/ it, for the only results are that she
drives eligible men away from her
daughters and makes the girls mis-
cradle and resentful.
Nowadays every girl has to be her
own chaperon and her mother has
! to do her work before the girl is
adolescent. II she has, if she has
/ taught Mamie and Sadie to have
high principles and self lf-respect and
to hold their honor above their lives,
as old melodramas used to say, they
won't need mother to stand guard
over them. They will know how to
watch their steps.

Stamp No. Z Good
For Sugar Bonus

The two-pound sugar bonus will
be good until August %, according
to the Northwest OPA office, and
housewives may cash in now on
stamp No. z without affecting the
status of stamps No. and 6. This
sugar is extra and is allowed on
regular ration books.
The reason for stepping up the
sugar allowance, it was explained, is
that receipts of sugar from off-shore
producers has been somewhat heavier
than anticipated.
Another order of the OPA per-
mits farmers who board seasonal
labor to purchase extra sugar allow
ances at the rate of half a pound a
week per person. In making out his
application the farmer must state
that the war ration books of his hired
men have been or will be surrendered
or that the hired men have no books
The order is intended to cover
threshers, corn huskers, silo filters
and other workers whom farmer
employs and boards in addition to his
own family to work the annual har-
vest. The allowances will be for the
period of employment only.

Special Meetings
On Home Storage

Under the auspices of the Extern
sion divisions and the county civilian
defense council, specialist from the
University farm will speak at two
meetings in Pine county on the mat
ter of storage of products from the
victory gardens. The meetings will
be with local leaders July 20 and 81,
the first day being at the schoolhouse
in Askov, and the second day at the
Beroun school.
Besides the latest information on
home storage the specialist will also
discuss drying, waxing and brining
and also canning.
Due to the rush of work for spe-
cialists from the University farm,
it is possible to have only two meet
ings at this time, and leaders should
plan to attend the one closest to them.
Any community which does not al
ready have leaders and is interested
in getting this information, may select
two representatives to come to one
of these meetings and obtain same.

Early Marketing To
Avoid BOttlenecks

To avoid processing and transpor-
tation bottlenecks this fall and win
ter the Pine county USDA board
is urging hog raisers to market their
hogs as early as practicable. With
about 10000 more hogs to be mar
keted in the next few months than
during the same period last year, the
increase will place terrific strain
on transportation and packing plant
facilities.
The board warns the farmers, how
ever, not to ship light, unfinished
hogs as the United States and the
United Nations will need all the
pork. and lard that can be produced
The government is now buying
about 40 per cent of the pork and
two-thirds of the lard, so the board
states that farmers need not worry
so much about what the price is going
to be. Hog farmers can help the
war program by producing more hogs
and by spreading out marketing more
evenly throughout the year.

grades bulked at $11.50 to $500
Heifers and cows declined fully Csc

bulls were $1.00 down, but came back
to compare mostly SOC lower. Veal
ers sold steady to weak, bulk of the
good and choice grades going at $11.5O
to $14.00, with top choice at $1450
Stocker and feeder pigs sagged Csc

SOkOls To Picnic
At Cross Lake

Plans are completed for the annual
picnic to be held Sunday, July 10,
at the Sokol camp on the breezy
shores of Cross lake, five miles north
east OF Pine City.
The picnic is sponsored jointly by
the Pine City Sokol society under
the able leadership of its president,
Louis Violence, and the st. Paul
Sokols. Many out of town visitors
are expected to come and for their
convenience delicious Chicken
booya" will be served beginning at
IL a. m. The "booya" as prepared
by Mrs. Jos. Pavlicek of st. Paul,
has become so famous that requests
for recipes are received from such
distant places as Omaha and Chicago,
but its preparation is a secret, main
tanned for the visitors of Sokol camp
picnics.
AS usual, there will be other re-
freshments such as pop, ice cream,
candy and sandwiches.
The picnic program will start at
l o'clock in the afternoon. There
will be races, water sports, games
and the old time picnic atmosphere
will be kept up by the music of an
old time orchestra.
AT o'clock the prizes made by the
Pine City Sokol ladies for the benefit
of the Pine City Chapter of the
American Red Cross, will be given
away to the lucky winners.
Everybody in Pine county is in
vited to attend, says the committee
and all are assured of a good time.

There had been a lull in Africa
British troops were exhausted from
the terrific heat, the desert sand
storms, the general strenuousness Of
a bloody war, and that, likewise, was
true of their Nazi and Fascist enc
mics. So, there was a lull in the
region around Ell Alamein where the
British had stopped the axis forces
in their attempt to march on to Alex
andria and the Suez canal.
But the intermission was a
merely apparent one, for behind
the lines there was plenty of
activity, reinforcements II men
and war arriving al
most necessarily for both sides.
And when the rest had been COM
pleted, the heat and the sand storm
abated, 10 and behold-there were
facing one another two armies strong
er than ever before In the first
round of the new battle on this front
the British succeeded in making il
very clear to the axis fellows that
they were not wanted deeper into
Egypt, and, indeed, they were forced
to withdraw from some of their posi-
tons. This was not yet victory
Egypt had not yet been saved, the
Suez canal not yet secured, but ii
was definite step in the one right
direction, and it is possible that the
British will cling on to the initiative

While for the first time in many
weeks it began to look a little bright
er for the United Nations on their
African front, the situation in Russia
took new turn for the worse. There
had been a terrific setback at Sevas-
topol when that Crimean city fell
into the hands of the Nazi forces,
and then, all of a sudden, fighting
shifted to line a good many miles
farther north, that is to say, along
the Don river.

Lyons In Race For
Short Senate Term

John T. Lyons, lie Center, active
participant in the Farmer-Labor
movement many years, and state
campaign manager for the late Floyd
B. Olson and for Hjalmar Petersen
in 1910, filed last Saturday for the
short Senate term on the FL. ticket
Lyons, World war veteran, was
a candidate for state auditor in 1894
against Stafford King, and was de-
feated in close contest by a mar
gin of only 648 votes.
While Lyons realizes that the short
term Senate affords too short ten
ure in office to accomplish great
deal, he does plan to investigate the
Lake Erie ceiling base price of $4.45
per ton on Minnesota iron ore, calcu-
lated by the steel companies and
set by the Federal Price admins
traitor. He states that from informa-
ton received through research and
other mediums, it would seem that
fair and reasonable base should
have been set at $3.50 per ton.
