Talks To

Grading Parties
Children's parties are always a
problem. Some parents who have
more means than imagination solve
[lie problem by spending money and
yirlng entertainers.' They will in
ust m expensive favors and prizes,
engage magicians or moving pic
tures, offer lavish refresments, and
• hen feel that their duty is done be
cau* their purses are lighter.
But such parties are not necessar
the most successful. Children
(fllc'e more pleasure in parties where
hey are active participants and not
pent observers. What the party
cost, moreover, thought it may be
evident to their parents, makes no
difference tc the average child.
For the tiny tots parties should
oc very short. Four to five-thirty is
i good time of day, for the last
hfee quarters of an hour may be
devoted to eating, the refreshments
taking place of nursery supper.
Ii Cereal, bread and butter, milk or
I y,cak cocoa, ice cream and a simple
cake are quite enough. A five cent
favor at. each child’s place will add
to his pleasure, and send him home
happy.
For children from six to ten there t
• an treasure hunts, cob-web parties, j
paper chases, obstacle races of vari
ous kinds, all active games, for!
which it is well to prepare the place |
beforehand. One up and coming I
group of small boys suggested “Hunt j
the thimble” to an unsuspecting i
lather. It sounded like a quiet game,]
but proved house-wrecking.
From ten to fourteen or fifteen |
separate parties for boys and girls!
are better than mixed affairs, fori
die difference in taste between the I
two sexes is most marked at this!
lime Hat trimming, lamp-shade
making, doll dressing contests, or.
progressive games are all in order'
ior the girls. For the boys it is well
to center attention on refreshments.
They like to eat.
Refreshing Relief
When You Need a Laxative
Because of the refreshing relief it
has brought them, thousands of men
and women, who could afford much
more expensive laxatives, use Black
Draught when needed. It Is vary
economical, purely vegetable, highly
effective. . . Mr. J. Lester Roberson,
well known hardware dealer at Mar
ttntrllla, V»., writ**: "I oertelnly ean
recommend Black-Draught ae a splendid
medicine. X have taken It for constipation
and the dull feeling* that follow, and have
found It very satisfactory.”

Hopkins Not A Politician,
But In^^r tunt In Campaign
WASHINGTON.—<iT>—The per
sonality and policies of a youthful
welfare worker who has never held
—or even been a candidate for—an
elective office bid fair to play a
major part in the 1936 presidential
campaign.
What Harry L. Hopkins says
counts almost as much as what he
does, and he’s in the front line
trenches of the “new deal war." Op
position attacks on him daily be
come more frequent and vigorous.
His friends and foes alike always
remember that Hopkins has spent
his entire lifv since college days as
a social worker. But they sometimes
forget he is not an ordinary social
worker.
If he were he wouldn’t have held
an administration position—once
called relief administrator, again
director of the CWA, now termed
works progress administrator—vir
tually second only to that of the
president himself.
Eyes Still Flash
He’s begun to get a trifle stout
since the president summoned him
here in May. 1933 to take charge of
the first nation-wide relief pro
gram in history. His hair is a little
thinner. But his eyes still flash
when the work relief program is at
tacked, and he has yet to eliminate
most of the un-social-worker words
from his vocabulary.
Poker Is his favorite recreation
now that he hasn’t time for tennis,
and he told critics of "boondog
gling" that they were “too damn
dumb to appreciate the finer things
of life.”
Hopkins went to work with the
Association for Improving the Con
dition of the Poor In New York City
Immediately after he was graduated
lrom Grlnnell college, in his native
state of Iowa, In 1912. He had been
director of the New York Tubercu
losis and Health association for nine
years when the governor of New
York, Franklin D. Roosevelt, nam
ed him director of the state’s new
relief administration in 1931.
A cabbage weighing 20 1-2 pounds

ference was raised oy Cohen Rob

othing
stops me now
lean work when others cant
IT takes an unusual tractor to bring a statement
like that from a farmer. Yet, owners are saying
this and other good things right along about
the new Case Model “C” Tractor.
As a matter of fact, it is an unusual tractor,
because of its combination of dependable power
and light weight—just slightly more than that of
two draft horses. With a light stepping tractor like
that you can do things not possible with ordinary
machines. Instead of sitting around waiting for
the fields to dry up completely, you can be out there
days ahead of others and get your work done on time.
That*s a tremendous advantage which adds to the
tractor’s usefulness and ability to earn. Another
thing, because of the absence of superfluous weight,
more of the power is put ,o work pulling pay loads.
If you want a tractor that will help you show a
larger profit this year—get a Case—either the Model
“C” or the larger Model “L”. Come in and inspect
these tractors and the many other Case farm ma
chines we arc showing. Do it now.
