Our girls and boys have entirely too much vaca- tion.” Most of us are slowly coming arsund to that view. The more we think of it, the more absurad it seems that our costly educational plants should be idle about one-third of the vear, and not working to capacity at any time. Of course, it isn’t any use keeping children cooped up for a longer time than they can sustain their interest and attention. That is a matter for sensible adjustment. In technical or manual work pupils can apply themselves longer without mental weariness than in mere book work. There isn’'t much doubt that any but young .children could be profit- ably cccupied by proper alternation of work, for say seven hours a day. And children of all ages could be profitably occupied for a greater ruriber of weeks in the year than they are now. It would be a boon to overbur- dened mothers to cut short the sum- mer vacations. And a wise filling up of the child’s time would mean a gain of perhaps two years in its per- icd of preparation for the work of life; o1 hetter still, two years’ work added to the present preparation, without taking any more time or any more of the child’s strength. An Asset to Be Realized Upon. Minnesota occupies a singular and ¢elightful latitude for year-around enjoyment. Of the radiant summers and golden, ozonic autumns it is un- necessary to speak; their unmatch- able charm have given Minnesota a reputation as wide as it is merited. But our winter asset is likely to be underrated and unappreciated unless entirely understood. The customary stability of the Minnesota winter adapts itself to conditions of health and enjoyment, says the St. Paul Dispatch. Below the region of intense cold and above _.the zone of rapid variations of tem- .Derature, we escape the penalties of winter moisture and capitalize all of the benefits of outdoor enjoyment. We .may depend upon level conditions which assure hockey, skiing and curl- ing, with their attendent pleasures and wholesomeness. While other lo- calities are shivering in mist and sleet or wading in midwinter flood, Minnesota is reveling in sunshine, exhilarating, health-giving sunshine, in temperatures which permit out- door sports and impart the vigor to make them enjoyable and beneficial. True, our winters are shortening. :;Possibly, in the flight of the solar ~:system in its Arcturian orbit, con- ditions are created which curtail and modify the cold season. But, this only emphasizes the reasons for en- joying to the full crisp, invigorating winter while it is permitted us. Change is life; monotony is death. The extremes of seasonal delight are the charm of Minnesota. HHHE KKK R KKK KK KK X*_ EDITORIAL EXPLOSIONS ¥ S R L TR T T S 2 .

E. Verity, a past master as the wheels, is chief organizer, Before we:pay our en- trance fee and, receive our badge we want to know who is going to write the ‘“Republican policies and prin- ciples,” the people or Fred Zollman and Curtis Mosher. At one time it was_an easy matter to elect any man just because he was a Republican, but now when big moral issues are up it will be pretty hard to get a united party of any kind. What the people want today is men who will stand for something and who are willing to be Republicans when that party has a part to play in helping to settle the state’s problems. The Re- publicans of the state are getting to a stage in the game where they will not be satisfied with sending to a catalogue house for a platform of ““policies and principles.”—Northfield News. KKKKKKKKKKKKK KKK F * GOVERNMENT QUESTIONS . ¥ x FARMERS AS TO INCOME * K H KKK KKK KKK KKK Washington, Feb. 10.—The De- partment of Agriculture, after in- vestigating 438 families in ten differ- ent states in an effort to get a cor- rect answer for the puzzling question, “How much does the average farmer make?” has reached the conclusion that, the annual value of the food, fuel, oil and shelter enjoyed by the average farm family is $505. What- ever the farmer makes over this amount he puts in the bank or spends. Of the $505, the farm furnished directly $429, leaving only $76 to be paid for with farm products or out of the money obtained from farm products. Food was, of course, the principle item. This amounted to $401.93, of which $330.65, or 83.3 per cent, was raised on the farm. _ The investigators found that on the farm examined the average cost of maintaining each grown person was $176 a year, divided as follows: Dairy Products ...821 12 Poultry and eggs . Garden ..... Beef .... Wood and coal Groceries ... House rent . Of this sum only about 28 per cent was paid out in cash. The remain- der was furnished by the farm, not in the form of money, but in those things for which the money would have been exchanged. On a certain area in North Carolina, included in the scope of the investigation, it was found that if it had not been for such articles as tea, coffee, sugar, salt and’ other groceries impossible to producé at home, the farms would have been self-sustaining. “The bulk of groceries are bought,” said the investigators, “but the total quantity consumed depended to a great extent upon the quantity of animal products and vegetables rais- ed on the farm. Where these abound- ed the consumption of groceries di- AT LESS WET I BACK HURTS "ake a glass of Salts to flush Kidneys if Bladder bothers you—Drink lots of water.

From this it would seem that an obvious way to effect an im- portant saving in expenses is to raise more vegetables and animal products on the farm. Whether it is better to cut down expenses in this way or to increase receipts by concentrating attention to cash: crops is one of the great problems in farm management, | the answer to which in each individ- ual case depends upon local condi- tions.” A pew Belgian town in Gelderland. about five minutes’ walk from the pic- turesque village of Nunspect, has aris en as If by magic. It has more in habitants than any other in the Ve luwe, the well wooded, hilly heathland of the province of Gelderland. The town is one of the cities of ref- uge for the Belglan fugitives that are being or have been coustructed in va- rlous parts of Holland. and this par- ticular place is made ready for a popu- lation _of . 13.000. A large -tract of heather grown Soil has been fenced in with barbed wire, and within this in- closure has been built a town of wood- en buildings, a town In. three parts, each separated from the others by long. wide stretches of heather. The wooden sheds have double walls to esclude cold and are covered with plates of a newly invented material that is impervious to the wet. Each building can shelter 250 persons, who sleep in little rooms designed for five persons each. The buildings are heat- ed by huge stoves. & Meals are served in great common dining rooms for 1,000 persons each, with long tables and benches along- side. These dining sheds stand close to the kitchen, where ten big stoves are kept goivg all day for cooking. No separate cooking is allowed in the living and sieeping buildings ‘and no smoking either- all for fear of a pos- sible fire. which might bave most dls- astrous cousequences in this town of timber.” The town js electrically lighted.
