In addition to their effect upon pro-
duction, outrages of this kind cause
trouble and expense that place a
heavy burden on an REA organiza-
ton, Mr.. johnson says. One hun
dred or more miles of line can be
put out of commission by one de-
structive act, he adds, and the ex-
pense of repairs and needless driv-

and gasoline, may be as much as $500.

Parsley for Gifts.
BY Margaret Frost in Flower Grower.

BY Margaret Frost In FlOWer OrOWer.
Last fall 1 had the inspiration to
pot up several plants of parsley.
had a row of pots in the kitchen Win
dow and a row in the dining-room
window. With plenty of sunshine,
fertilizer and vitamin B, they made
luxuriant growth.
Then throughout the long winter
months when visiting friends, espe-
cially those who loved to cook,
would take along pot of my pars-
ley to give to them. I found these
parsley pots came in handy for
Christmas, too. Each made a nice
extra gift"
I discovered that more foliage re-
suited when several small plants
were crowded together into one pot
These smaller plants had more
fbrous and shorter roots than large
one with its long bare tap root. This
was the result of not thinning in
the garden row. Consequently, these
could make better growth in the
pot. Also, the smaller parsleys trans
planted more easily.
All in all, l found this part of my
winters gardening quite successful
This coming winter intend to dc
the same, except 1 shall use Sweet
Marjorum instead.

PINE COUNTY RURAL
SCHOOL NEWS
A. E. GUsrAFsoN. County supt.

The last of our eight months schools
to open, opened this week.
1t appears that District SO may be
vacant soon. There are only seven
pupils there now and the school board
may decide to transport them to an
other school instead of getting an
other teacher. This may save money.
Our teachers institute has been
scheduled for Monday and Tuesday,
October 19 and 20, at the Sandstone
high school auditorium-9 a. m. to
4 p. m.
Our county school officers meeting
has been scheduled by T. c. Engum
for Friday, October %, 10 a. m. to
$3.50 p. m, also at the Sandstone high
school auditorium.
October has been set aside as our
national scrap month. If war in
dustries are to run full blast during
the coming winter, we must get in
all the scrap iron before snow flies
Every rural school in America has
been designated as a scrap metal
salvage depot. Every major COM
munity will also have one or more
regular commercial scrap depots
Twenty-eight depots have been des-
ignated in Pine county. Most CEN
trail communities will also put or
one or two special scrap collection
days some time this month. -Four
have already held their scrap metal
drives. Help to change October te
"Scraptober" and thus help end the
war sooner. The Groningen two
room school already has about hall
ton of scrap metal.

Gardeners Nook
By GARDEN CLUB EDITOR

First Frost
The frost did cast net last night.
It caught my garden unaware
And changed its glorious beauty
bright
Into the darkness of despair.
The oaks brown leaves are tumbling
down.
Its acorns dropping here and there.
The spruce trees cones are turning
brown.
All are caught within its snare.
It is not Death this wanton thrust
That turns such beauty into gloom
For dormant live the buds in trust
And venture forth in spring to bloom

Wintering Dahlias Successfully.
BY Gordon F. Waaser, Editor, Amer
lean Dahlia Society, in Flower
Grower.
When at last, Jack Frost waves his
baton to stop the performance OF
beautiful color in our dahlia gar
dens, already we are planning for
that better patch" next year. And
if you are like most dahlia enthus-
lasts, you will want to grow most
of the varieties again next year.
This means roots must be stored until
spring, but to do this successfully
requires a little care.
Dahia storage is not difficult if you
follow these rules. The roots must
be stored in a dry, well ventilated
place to prevent shriveling from too
much heat, rot from dampness and
freezing.
Few have the facilities of an old
fashioned root cellar where clumps
may be stored in open baskets with
practically no attention. Therefore,
the 'Tooker" method, which I have
found successful over period OF
years, will appeal to those who must
store hundred clumps or less in a
centrally heated cellar. A small
room, 6 by 8 feet, is partitioned off
in the far corner where tiny win
dow is conveniently located. Clumps
are dug carefully, soil washed away,
and stalks cut back to about or 3
inches. These clumps are brought
right into the cellar, without sun
drying, placed directly on the con-
crete floor, and packed in close to-
gether but not on top of one another.
They are then covered with moist
earth, just an inch or so of each
stalk protruding and exposed to the
air. A small amount of ventilation is
necessary to avoid mustiness or mil
dew during the first week or two of
storage.
Thereafter, little care is required.
Examine the clumps in February.
Water slightly as required at infre-
quent intervals from then until plant
ing time.
If it is not convenient to build
small room, one may, with perhaps
a little more attention, still get re-
/ suits by utilizing different medium
of insulation. Select the coolest cor
ner of the cellar. Lay a base OF
inches of coal ashes on the floor
for space large enough to accom-
modate the number of clumps to
be stored.
Dig the clumps on a sunny day
and allow them to dry outdoors fol
couple of hours, cutting the stalks
back to not more than 2 inches from
the crown. Place the clumps close
together on the ash pile and filter
sifted ashes between the roots until
all roots are covered. The stalks
should be exposed to the air. In g
few days add another half inch layer
of ashes and repeat this operation
once or twice week until inches
of ashes are on top of the roots. These
clumps should keep in splendid con-
dition until spring.
/ If you have only a few clumps tt
winter, try the above method, using
a large wooden case. Soil may be
substituted if ashes are not avail
able, but be certain the soil is dry
Other good insulators are dry saw
dust or buckwheat hulls.
In any of the above methods, be
sure that the clumps are dry anc
cured before packing. Any broker
roots or cut surfaces should be
trimmed carefully and busted with
powdered sulphur.

contributor to the Dahlia Society

Quarterly Meeting.

The regular quarterly meeting of
the Danish Lutheran church was held
Monday evening in the assembly hall.
Routine reports by the secretary and
treasurer were given. The latter
showed that receipts from member
ship dues were barely enough to
meet current expenses. A special
drive is in progress to pay off the
remaining church debt which is only
about $500, so if solicitor calls on
you, give him little lift.
One of the coming events, which
was announced, is lecture by Rev.
P. Rasmussen from Canada at the
local church on the evening of Octo-
Der IA. This will be in Danish. AS
delegates to the district meeting in
Withee, Wis, the following were
elected: Mrs. Arnold Sorensen, Mrs.
Anime Mogensen and Mrs. M. Mix
kelsen.
Christopher Nielsen has replaced
MAIDS Nielsen as janitor, the latter
having resigned.
