The 21st amendment repealed

At this time Of the year. when
camps are opening and SWIM
ming in cool water Is so appeal
ing, it Is wise to find out some
thing about reptile swimmers you
may encounter.
Queen snakes are distributed
over the United States, east of
the Mississippi River, but not
common in the Northern States.
They climb bushes, hanging
above the water and drop dfown.
The banded water snake or
"moccasin" should not be con-
fused with the poisonous mocca-
sin in whose company he is often
seen. The harmless water snake
is more slender and has red dots
on the abdomen. The poisonous
snake has a large pit between the
eye and the noStril which no

harmless water snake ever has.
The brown snake. water pilot
or water rattler is the largest
North American water snake, at
tanning q length Of 1lve feet. It
has a long tapering tail, long and
narrow head, and its eyes glitter
with apparent hatred. It is rusty
brown with a series Of black or
dark brown blotches on the back.
On the sides there are smaller
squares. The belly is yellow with
irregular spots of dark brown.
These snakes produce a large
number of young that love to
move about in the water. Once
they have established themselves
they remain for many years and
a rock in the sun is sometimes
fairly clothed with a mother and
her latest brood. They are fast
travellers In water or on land.

Water Snakes.

Boys do not have a prior claim
to "swimmin" holes, but many
water snakes do. In fact they
appear to own the place.
Several dozen species comprise
this genus. They are common
reptiles in the United States, Eu-
rope and Asia; because of their
semiaquatic nature they are
known as water snakes. You
meet them on the borders of
streams, ponds and lakes. The
vibration of your footsteps sends
them gliding into the water.
They cannot be classed eco
nomically valuable to man as
their food consists of frogs,
toads, fishes and the like. The
snakes of this genus bring forth
their young In large numbers.

The ace of diamonds and the

and the defenders made no er-
ror, yet Mr.. Masters was still
successful in winning 10 tricks
against the 10 of clubs opening.
After some thought, he won
the first trick with dummy'S
ace. Realizing the value of
dummy's spades as entries to
the board, he didn't touch
trumps at this point. Instead, he
cashed the ace and king Of
hearts. Going to dummy with a
small spade to the nine, he led
the jack of hearts. If Mr.. Dale
had covered with the queen, he
would have ruffed.
When Mr.. Dale played the
nine, however, he dropped his
last club, Mr.. Champion win

a discard on the now good 10 of
hearts. Mr.. Champion returned
the suit and Mr.. Dale ruffed.
Mr.. Masters overruffed with the
Jack of spades.
He now led a small spade to
dummy's 10 and returned the
queen of clubs. Mr.. Dale's play
here was immaterial. If he had
played low, Mr.. Masters would
have discarded a small diamond.
His actual play was the king.
Mr.. Masters ruffed high, entered
dummy again with the queen Of
spades and got rid of diamond
on the good jack of clubs.
He next led a diamond and
had a chance for five-odd if Mr..
Dale had the ace. Mr.. Champion
had that card and killed the
king of diamonds with it but

An Editorial
1t Says On
The Label

WITH THE GREAT increase in the
use of substitute fibers in products
Stimulating wool textures, it has be-
come difficult and in many cases inn
possible for consumers to know the
actual wool content in garments.
Wool is among the higher cost fibers
in common use and its surface ap-
pearance can be duplicated in fabrics
containing a mixture of other,
cheaper, imitation fibers. The ex-
elusive inherent qualities that make
wool long wearing, resilient, insu-
lating and protective cannot be re-
produced.
The wool products labelling act
protects the consumer as well as the
producer with the label or tag stating
the fiber content in terms of per-
centages which must be firmly at
tached to any product Except uphol-
stery and floor coverings) contain
ing wool. 1t must show the name or
registered number of the manufac-
turer who guarantees the correctness
of the fiber content statement. From
the beginning of its journey through
the channels of trade, the wool prod
uct must carry the statement of the
fiber content, whether it be yarn,
fabric or finished garment, this in
formation must remain attached to
it until it is in the hands of the ulti-
mate purchaser.
The labels must, in disclosing the
wool content, tell whether it is
"wool," meaning that it is fleece wool
being used for the first time in the
complete manufacture of wool
product, or 'reprocessed WOOL
made from scraps and clips of woven
and felted fabrics of previously used
wool, or REUSED WOOL made from
worn or used wool collected by rag
dealers.
If you are familiar with the pro-
lection of the wool labelling act you
can always be sure of exactly what
you are buying-AMY MARTIN.

Weeiinas -four Children

OFTEN WE parents are reminded
of the Importance of having our chill
dren vaccinated against such dan
gerous diseases as smallpox or
diphtheria. But how about vacci-
mating them against the far more
deadly moral diseases of stealing,
deceit, cruelty and cowardice? Isn't
it far more important to protect chill
dren from moral evil than from
physical disease?
In this process of vaccinating
against evil, the first step is to i'm
press upon every child a thorough
understanding of the Ten Command
ments, which are the bases of law
and morality.
Then give the child practice in
putting the commandments into ac-
ton. Give him to understand that
there will probably be no objection
on your part to what he does, pro-
vided he does nothing that is wrong
in itself. Here you are fairly safe,
since most of the things children
want to do are not wrong.
That this system will do, actually,
is to take most of the burden of
steering ch1ld's life away from you
and turn it over to the youngster.
This attitude of non-interference on
your part as long as child is doing
right will bolster his Se1f-confidence
and self-respect. You need not worry
nearly so much about such a child
when he is out of your sight.
The child will realize that you are

not bossing just to show you are the
boss. When it does become neces-
sary to crack down, you will not
have lot of accumulated resentment
to cope with. A child with some ex-
perience of judging right and wrong
for himself will also be more likely
to understand why you are speaking
up.
An Old Proverb
There is an old proverb that has
caused lot of trouble, namely:
Experience keeps a dear school,
but fools will learn in no other" So
some parents, thinking it will save
themselves and their children much
trouble, undertake to put this pro-
verb into practice.
Accordingly, when his child wants
to go horseback riding, such a parent
dishes up scare story. He tells his
child how he once rode a bronc and
was bucked off, breaking an arm.
From listening to such an explana-
ton, the parent expects his boy or
girl to learn as much as if he had
actually ridden the horse and been
bucked off.
Does that make sense? Or, to
take different example. will boy
or girl learn as much about SWIM
ming from nearing about it as from
actually learning to swim?
Most Will Rebel
Fortunately, however, the average
child does not accept his parents ex-
periences as substitutes for expert

Ideally one should read many

Ideally one should read many
or even all of the great books,
but the ideal is always at in
finity and can only be ap-
preached. And the most import
ant thing to know is that you
approach it more genuinely by
reading a few books well than
many books poorly. 1t is better
by far to read a cornerstone
group of the great books effec-
lively than all of them ineffec-
lively, for there is little or no
profit in vast amount of per-
functory reading.

likely 10 t11ilk THAT the ola IOlKS
want all the fun for themselves,
while he sits with folded hands look
ing on. Healthily, he will rebel and
go out seeking experiences of his
own.
Here is where another proverb,
the opposite of our first proverb,
comes into action. 1t is also mislead-
ing: Experience is the best teacher"
True. But unsupervised and undi-
rected experiences can lead to dis
aster for a child.
So a sort of intermediate attitude,
between our two deceiving proverbs,
is indicated. A sort of vaccination
process against evil, or to put it diff
ferently, a conditioning against evil,
is required.
Teach by Doing
A method of doing this is to teach
the child to learn to do right, simply
by practicing doing right. Nothing
could be simpler, but how often this
system is overlooked.
Take the case of 3-year-old who
has just helped himself 20 a toy in
the dime store. Instead of showing
horror, administering scolding or
whipping, take the youngster back to
the clerk in charge and let him re-
turn the article with his own two
hands This is practicing doing the
right thing.
The clerk will probably take the
whole thing in stride. You do the
same. One such experience is usu-
ally enough to cure child of pick
ing up things in stores or elsewhere.
Be thankful that it occurred while
you were present to teach the young
ster the right thing to do. You eff
fectually vaccinated him against flu
ture stealing.
Again, much misunderstanding and
annoyance can be avoided if we real
ize that, all through life, we are
going through "stages" whether we
like it or not.
Stages Are Natural
Let the older children know that
it is natural for the 2-year-old to
yell ''No!" to everything. Explain
that it is natural for 10-year-olds to
''hate" the opposite sex. Adolescence
and the awkward age" also are
somewhat more acceptable if one
knows that everybody else has to
live through the same thing. Books
and pamphlets on this subject help.
Simple tolerance and understand
ing takes much of the sting out of
life. A boy or girl who understands
something of human nature is more
mature, less easily shocked or sent
off balance.
Children usually solve their own
problems as they come up. This is
the best way. But should your child
come up against situation that is
too much for him, get in there and
lend him a hand. Don't leave him
standing alone.
If it is known that you will come
to your child's aid if necessary, il
will build up his confidence so that
he can deal with more difficult prob
lens, and it will also act as deter
rent to those who pick on the I'm.
protected and strive to drive them
to the wall.
In the use of tools and gadget.

passing thru town every day.
The waiting room seated about
40 people and ticket sales every
month amounted to from $500.
to $4,000 here. Passenger train
travel thru Caldwell was stop
ped in 1882.
The years Of World War II

toned that there was one day
during the war that he handled
62 kilograms. War Department
kilograms of "We regret to in

Administration, said this week
that election ballots are on their
way to 1900 farmers in Noble
county. This is the number of
farmers eligible to participate in
the election of community PIMA
farmer-committeemen for the
coming year.
Nominating committees were
chosen some time ago for each
of the county's Is agricultural
communities. These committees
have selected a slate of candi-
dates for the current election.
All of the candidates names
have been printed on the bal
lots, which are being mailed out
this week.
Voters will have until July 18
to mail their ballots back to the
county PIMA office. However,
the county PIMA committee is
advising farmers to get the bal
lots in the return mail, "just in
case they forget" Ballots may
also be deposited personally at
the county office in Caldwell.
