The Home Dressmaker are too tired to plan sewing or execute it well. . Nothing is more discouraging than' to try to sew with a poor machine that is heavy to-run and produces bad results . after hard work.

Some women leave the sewing till the children are in" be& at night and they The only practical solution is for. ‘wise a new machine is an exellent in- vestment. ' If:possible it is nice to have the sewing in-a place where it can be left till you are through as it takes most as much time to pick everything up and ‘put it away and then get it out again as you spend sewing. One éouldoften do little odds and ends of sewing when there were a few minutes to. spare 1f everything was at hand. When one_goes to the work of makmg garments it pays totget- good: material of fast color and then make them con- servative enough in style so they can be worn .out. Some women are skxllful enough and have had enough practice’ to cut ‘clothes out without a pattern; but.I surely would discourage such a practice .as it often - tends ' toward careless, ill-fitting gar- ments, and is not to be recommended. But 1f one gets a good foundation pat- tern changes in trimmings, in fullness and in size can be worked out with success. . Summer Care of Bables We hear liftle of infant mortality in the country because records are not kept or tabulated as they are in the city. But on the other hand it is surprising how many babies' we lose in the country in - the first two years of their lives. These first two years are the most ‘critical; : practically everything depends ‘on the’ mother, the care she gives the baby, the food she feeds it, and the surroundmgs ? ghe keeps it in. Take carethat your baby does not fall sick during the warm weather. Keep its food regular and unchanged so’ rio - chance ' will be taken with . this little : helpless life. Protect the baby from all” sorts of msect life and from excessive ; HOME BUTCHERING Last week I suggested the formatlon of meat rings to provide fresh meat at “low. expense and in good condition, eéspec- i ' Some farmers may hesitate to undertake this »."-because of lack of expenence in slaugh- tem‘lg and cutting meat: For the axd of ‘has msued ‘a ‘bulletin «which a complete gmde to - hi Y handling by the other children.

We have had two: ‘articles on good ; : ways to start our: preparahon to elimin- ate flies; ‘that'is the careful clean way of JRLE PG b A medium sized enclosure of - is well made, but until these are done there is little use to try to kill the flies that appear in the house as the host will breed much faster than yow can kill them. One fly is said to produce thousands in a season so it is essential to keep after the early comers when they are less numerous. : Care in the house itself is also neces- sary as leaving food around exposed will attract flies. Leaving of crumbs on the floor and table after meals will sure- ly draw them. If there are small children in the home they should be care- fully protected while sleeping. This can be done by putting netting or cheese cloth over the crib or carriage. Recipe Exchange Pieplant is now at it’s best and can be used in various ways immediately while it remains tender, but can also be pre- pared and put away for winter use.

A SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT. (The following letter was submitted in the Leader prize contest on entertain- ment in rural communities. It is an actual story of an actual experience by a 12-year old girl, and because of its clearness and evident faithfulness to the facts was awarded ‘a special prize.) Last year our school gave an enter- tainment and picnic to the parents. planned for it early and prepared for our program early so we would be sure and have our parts learned well. We invited our parents and they everyone came. They came early in the morning -and stayed till late- in the - evening. “They brought their dinner’s along and “we spread the table cloths on the grass and all ate at once "and such a jolly time we certainly-did have. For dinner we had all kinds of sand- wiches' and salads, chlcken, several kinds of pickles, pxe, cake, ice cream and ¢offee. ~ After dinner the t;eacher called us chil- dren.in to see if our hair and clothes were all ‘straight, then she called the crowd - into the school house. We children did. our best and so we “had a good program. There is mnothing like a ‘plenty’ of dialogues and songs to make up a good program. ¢ The teacher and our parents were very well -pleased- with the way we played ‘ out our parts. e I think that all schools should have “a program on the Iast ‘day’ of school, because it is so edl.fymg and mstructwe g We: Fatgos Only Modern Flre Proof Hotel ;PO WERS HOTEL Hot and Cold Runmng Water end Telephone in Every Room R FIRSTCLASSCAFETERIA]NCONNECTION e On Broadway.

R S T sl ANTIDOTE FOR NORMANDEN - Grindburg Wants to Know Who Supe ports This Enemy Editor Nonpartisan Leader: The Normanden says the Leader was stolen from the farmers. I wonder where Normanden dérives its support from, if not from the subscriptions of the farmers. And now. they are using the money thus derived to fight the farmers’ organization. It would be wiseé for the farmers to remember this when the time for renewing. subscriptiong comes. Anybody can read between the lines . and understand the misrepresentation their dope reeks with. Assuring you I will do all I can to counteract what little influence the Normanden may have among the Scandinavians of this comw munity, I remain a League booster.—e F. L. GRINDBURG. THE LEADER’S FAULT. I enjoy reading the Leader.very much, but it has its fault, and that is that it must be read from cover to cover, while some of the daily papers one can pass up with a cheap looking over. The way the Leader must be read makes it a short night from 12 to 4—F. W. BIXBY.
