OFFICIAL COUINTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS —— "ARE FEMININE M ORAILS GOING BACKWARD? Dr. Eugene Leyman 17isk, head of the Life 'sztension Insti- tute, writes on this interesting, modern subject in May “Good keeping.” . He says: / { Hous‘?cfig)omgs have vmyied., but there is only ome standard of womanhood that ‘intelligett people could subscribe to in ‘this| age or any other age, and that is not a standard/ igncl\gd.mg' lack of womanly reservae or reckless, promiscuous fraternizing on a basis of caressing intimacy with comparative strangers. We have the right in this age as: in any other age to expect our womankind to make a high spiritual appeal. Wg h.ave the right to expect that they will stem the tide of m;zterlahsm that is always set against us and not convey the invitations to lax- ness and decadence. [ shotg “There is no surer test-of the trend of a civilization than| the standards established by its womankind. : “As a corrective, therefore, for much that is disintegrating| and discouraging in this present age, we suggest'a ‘rallying of the forces of true womanhood—of our girls and wonren who are wholesome and healthy at heart, however, they may lend them- selves temporarily to the mob psychology of the hour and as-| sume a superfiicial recklessness ‘' wholly foreign to their true character. Healthful activity automatically excludes unhealth- ful activity. 2 b ] - | “Perhaps there could be no better, expression of the prin- ciple involved in cultivatiing and giving play'to wholesome and | healthful activities in woran’s sphere than'the program of the Camp Fire Girls. Thé slogians used by that t?tganization are, in| themselves ,an inspiring appeal to the healthy-minded, and the | mind and character of an individual' must be sick indeed if it can decry or condemn the cail of 'such:a px:o’.ggam. “These’ slogans are as'follows: “Seek Beauty,” “Give| Service,” ' “Persue Knowledge,” “Be Trustworthy,” “Glorify, Work,” “Be Happy.” : | LACK OF APPRECIATION In supporting a home talent glee club, such’ as the Har- monick club, Bemidji-has again fallen.far below the support to which any local organization of that nature is entitled. The Harmonick club, composed entirely of Bemidji young men who have gladly loaned their services free' of charge for community, civic and fraternal gatherings, suffered a severe setback last evening when only a very small representation of Bemidji peo- ple attended the splendid concert at the Methodist church. The admission was set at fifty cents, not for the purpose of making| any great amount of money, for that would be impossible, but merely to assist in buying new music for the club and to offset such other expenses as are found necessary from time to time. . Those who attended the concert found it entirely worth| while and are convinced that this club is deserving of hearty| support. The boys spent many long months in preparation for the event, only to become more or less discouraged through lack of appreciation and support. A club, such as the Harmonick | club, is deserving of most hearty support, since it is an asset to| any community, and future appearances of the club should be| greeted by packed audiences. | SRR L GOOD BOOKS 'A' good book is like unto a true friendship; the more one| puts into it, the greater the return. Its measures are three: knowledge, enjoyment and in-| spiration. 'Open the mind to the author and he adds to one’s| mental store; open the heart and he gives one joy; lend him the | soul and he’ll'inspire one to noble deeds. Good books are found on the shelves of good men. 'A' good book should not be profaned by cursory reading; | the author should have the same courteous attention that one| *would give if he spoke. | ‘A book should be gauged not by its literary style, nor the| gold upon its cover, but by the impress it leaves upon one’s mind. If it suggests higher thoughts or spurs one to noble deeds it is a | good book, Humorous writings should be clean and wholesome; one should laugh, not at others, but with them. . Good books are true friends; they will not lie, cheat, wrong nor defraud; they will soothe heartache, remove the sting from envy, shame seifishness and brighten life. They are man’s greatest gift to man, By Mall One Year —$5.00 — 2.50 — 120 § | | | prieiae Loy ) ool LENINE DISCOURAGED From Russia‘comes the report that Lenine is discouraged,! and that one of the soviet government’s commissions-has had to| put the ban on some of his speeches in which he practically gives up hope of success along recent line.

Well-bred stock is plentiful, and no farmer in these days of better farm live stock can afford to breed or raise “gerubs,” In every community, espe- cially in the so-called “corn belt” states, hogs are ‘one of the principal farm products, and high-bred, if-not registered purebred sires,| are availa- ble. With a start of one or two well- bred sows and the service of a pure- bred boar, careful management will insure a-good profit in hog rafsin The second essential—good hous is just as available as good breeding stock. During the last ten or more years, architects who have made a careful study of the needs of farm ani- mals lesigned, and local con- tractors have erected, thousands' of buildings—barns, hog houses and chicken houses—that provide the live- stock with houses where they can be kept at the highest state of productivi- ty and in the best of health. The: product’ that farmers turn into cash with their hozs is flesh. Both can be obtained with “scrub” stock, but the cost is prohibitive. About the same amount of, care wil) bring a well- illustration, It is of frame consfrue-’ tion, ét on n concrete foundation and will hold 14 sows and their litters, The dimensions. are 48 hy 20 feet, To get. the most of the early spring sunlight this house is run east and west, and hss double sets of roof windows, one set to permit sunshine to filter into the pens on the south side of the building Two suction ventilators in the roof provide for a circulation of fresh air, without there being drafts near the floor, where the young pigs and their mothers are penned. Surrounding the building is a concrete: feeding. floor where the corn and dry feed Is thrown !| for the hogs. Accompanying the illustration is the. floor plan of the building showing the dimensions of the pens and the feed- ing alley that extends through the cen- ter. Too much emphasis cannot be laid on the need of fresh air, dry beds and sunshine in a hog house. These three essentials to healthy young pigs cost nothing and can be obtained in abun- dance by planning the house correctly and constructing it according: to the modern knowledge of what is best for the animals, By proper care in laying the con- ‘| crete foundations and floor this hog house can be built at any season of the year. By heating the aggregates of the concrete and covering the foun- dation and floor so as to prevent freez- ing until the concrete has fully set, which, in cold weather, requires at Jeast six days, the work can be done and the superstructure erected in time for the early spring litters. CITY OF GHASTLY LEGENDS All Sorts of Blood-Curdling Stories Current in the Mexican Metrop- olis; and ‘Believed. Mexico City is a city of legends, zho: horrors, most of them estab- lished at least upon a basis of truth. | One of them is about the deeds of Don Juan Manuel who had the merry habit of stulk@ng the streets in his cloak at night and asking the first man he met what time it was. Upon being answered, “It is eleven by the clock,” “he would reply: “You are very lucky, -for-you know the exact hour you die.” Thereupon he would bred young pig to marketable size In half the time required by a “scrub,” and the amount of feed both consume per day is practically the same. Before the days of efficient hog houses, a farmer considered himself lucky if half the litter was brought to Young. pigs are subject to many diseases and have little stamina to withstand them. Pneumonia is one of them. The pigs that were littered in the early: spring and were not housed in weather-proof, well-venti- Ilated and warm quarters had and still have little chance of reaching ma- turity. It was with these facts-in mind that the modern hog house was designed. Do type of farm bullding has been tural colleges than hog houses. The modern bog house is a well on a concrete foundation, with a con- crete floor. The side walls are weath- er-tight, and the roof is desizned so that 'a maximum of sunlight can reach the pens on both sides of the building, Also some system of ventilation, either through the roof or by the suction ven- tilators that are used on every modern dairy barn, is provided. Half of the floors, whether tliey be of concrete or cinders, are covered with heavy boards, raised. slightly above the ground. On this half floor “there is placed plenty of bedding, so that the young pigs will be kept dry—with em- When the farm has such a hog house, the sows farrow in early spring and again in the fall, which is as na- ture intended. Tate February pigs are are of mar- ketable size when there is small sup- ply and better prices. One of the modern types of hog houses is shown In the accompanying stab the chance-met stranger. He had a dearly loved nephew, and one night he met him In the dark, and not rec- ognizing him followed his usual cus- tom of homicide. i The next day, mad with grief, Don Juan went to the priest, who ordered him to say his beads at midnight be- | fore a church and near the public gal- | lows. He tried three times before he was able to do so, and then, the le- | gend s, gels took him and hanged | him. The basis of the story lies in the fact that a man of the name of | Juan Manuel did stab at least one man, and his body was found hanging on the public gallows without any explanation ever being made as to how it got there, Dice Gaming Ancient Sport. Gaming with dice and cards has pre- | vailed from the earliest times. We ! do not read of gambling houses in the | classic literature of Greece; but there | can be no doubt that the vice was very ‘, widely -practiced, in private houses. In ! Rome, under the emperors, gambling | prevailed extensively. Augustus and | most of the succeeding sovereigns were passionately foiid of the dice, and the | Emperor Claudius wrote a book on the | subject. A Roman would transport | and the other into the pens on'the | || north side.
