-called skunk bush was taken
from the breaks, near the Nurse

get as many of the roots as pos-
sible in digging these plants, and
to keep them moist and to pro-
tect the entire plants from dry-
ing winds until they were trans-
planted. Being a little early for
transplanting decidious shrubs
the tops were trimmed severely,
and all leaves removed.

ly in October, if you’ll take care
of them all thru the winter,”

The Perryton Rangers smash-
ed the Bucks conference record
at White Oeer Friday night by-
down lug them 21 to 0 in a hard
fought battle , before a capacity
crowd.

tacular drive to the Bucks 3-yard
line where they lost the ball on
downs.
In the second period, McClung,
Ranger back, went over center for
a touchdown and converted, mak-
ing the score at the half, 7 to 0.
The third quarter was about
even, with the Rangers picking
i up 7 6 yards- to the Bucks 75.
: Flowers, 185-pound Ranger

quarter and chalked up two more
eqrunOvrs, one over ce:*#er fol-
lowing a 40-yard run, . and the
o- over center after a series
of short runs. Both points were
jond, to make the final score 21
to 0.

intercepted by Russell, one com-
plete. White Deer also tried two,

Causes Trouble
Teaching of Fear
A good editor is one who has
never made a mistake,: who has
never offended anyone; who is
always right; who can ride two
horses at the same time he is
straddling a fence with both ears
to the ground; who always says
the right thing at the right time;
who always picks the right horse
as well as the right politician to
win,: who never has to apologize;
who has no enemies and who has
worlds of prestige with all class-
es, creeds and races. There lias
never been a good editor.—Albia

Furniture Bath
Is Suggested
Giving furniture a semi-annual
bath is suggested by Mrs. Bernice
George Hankins, Escar Watts,
Claytor, specialist in home im-
provement for the A. and M. Col-
lage Extension Servise. who says
frequent dusting, no matter how
thorough, may_not be sufficient.
A good “oil bath” is advocated
as a helpful treatment for most
furniture since the dry air in
many modern homes is as bad for
furniture as it is for people. Dry-
ing, cracking, and warping, or
loosening of the veneer may be
reduced by the oil bath. However,
Mrs. Claytor warns that if the
furniture has been waxed it. is
necessary to remove the wax be-
fore the oil is applied.
Mixture of twothirds boiled
linseed oil and one-third turpen-
tine will provide a satisfactory
oil bath The oil feeds the wood,
while the turpentine loosens the
dirt and helps the oil to penetrate
the wood.
“Apply the mixture with a soft
cloth,” the specialist suggests,
“and wipe off all excess polish
with a clean cloth. To polish rub
the surface the way of the grain
until the wood is thoroughly dry
and the fingers leave no mark on
the surface.
In addition to keeping the fur-
niture Avell-oiled, it is a good
thing to keep the room air moist
by having a pan of water near a
radiator, register, or stove in
cold Aveatlier, Mrs. Clator sug-
gests.

Protecting a child by teaching
him to be afraid of or to avdid
certain situations means trouble
later. It is much better that the
small child understand his en-
vironment. and Iioav to adapt him-
self to it..
That’s the advice to parents
given by D’osca Hale, extension
service specialist in parent educa-
tion and child development Once ■
they are. afraid, children cannot
be forced to overcome their fears, j
the specialist says, but they can j
be forewarned by having dangers]
explained to them ahead of time. ;
Adults frequently help child- [
hen to learn most of the fears
they develop as they grow up. In
this regard Miss I-Tale says. “If
Ave threaten Jack Avith the sheriff
or policeman in order to get him
to do something Ave want him to
do, Ave need not he surprised if
he develops a fear and a dislike
for laAV instead of thinking ofit
as a protection for those Avho wish
to do the right thing.”
Sometimes adults surround
children with fears in trying-to
get them to he cautions. She lists
some examples as “Don’t go near
the water; you’ll fall in.” “StaA"
away from the coav. It’ll hook
you.” or “That dog may bite von.”
Usually these things never hap-
pen. hut such threats may cause
children to deA’elop many fears
tbnt will make them unhapny.
Wise parents will teach their
children to be cautious without
being afraid. Miss Hale explains.
