b-.d r.'.u-h in common. They wove
about the sain-? ape. they belonged

t .) I he same club, and they both
1 ad ln!ul new babies.
The two young mothers spent
......... .-.io:;S-,nt afternoons together
d;.-". ussiag the problems of child
r arir.g. Thanks to modern medical
l .'lsnris, they both were rapidly
1 ; coming finite we!l educated on the
subject. Fortunately. both used
:'!, sense and pood judgment
and their children were visual proof
of thMr care and attention.
Little Illy Lrown was two
r.-.oni'us younger than Jack Iicy
'!'.. V.'hen Billy wafs less than a
r-.rr.Lh rid. he developed the cun
rir, ; habit of sucking his thumb.
At l.rt. this aused no alarm, and
t ';-! k l-v.Ued s:i cu'e and content
ed as he lay blissfully in his crib,
tii'-kin; his pretty pink thumb.
Pr. l.'ayi"-. the physician, coupling
the t hurab-sucking with ether symp
toms, decide that Hilly was not re
ceiving enough nourishment. He
pre.-crihf-'l some supplementary feed
ings. which soon corrected tb.e un
dernourishment symptoms, but did
not correct the thumb-sucking.
When the habit became more pro
nounced. Mrs. Brown tried various
i. !;.! ds to 'rrect it. She removed
the off ending thumb every time she
saw it m his mouth: she tied the
ends of his shirt and night gown
sleeve together: she placed adhesive
taro en his fingers and thumbs; she
oven put some unpleasant tastinc
medicine on his bands. None of
i hi so-called cures proved satis
factory. XatuiaHy. this trial and error
iao;hod tool: time. But none of the
rac::'irc3 took effect. By the time
Billy was four months old. the
thumb-sucking habit was more pro
nounced than ever. Finally, in des
peration, Mrs. Brown asked her phy
Fician's advice. She told him of the
methods which she had employed to
i 'inntt ract tb.e habit and wondered
if it were not better to allow the
(hild to suck his thumb. It seemed
i:.nosi:-!e to cure him of it.
Dr. Hayes listened in sympathy.
' You have a problem to solve. Mrs.
Broun. A somewhat common prob
1 in. but you must solve it. Thumb
sucking and linker-sucking help to
carry germs into the baby's mouth.
For that reason alone, it should be
stopped. The constant press.ure ex
ert d by the thumb and finder on
the palate will in time change the
chape of his jaws and face. liemein
1.: . i "; 1 1 n hi id's bones are very soft
and pliable. They can easily be
! a -d (.m. -.f shape- by constant
pressure. While the pressure extend
ed by thnmb-r-ucking is very slight,
if it is p'l-sisted in for a sufl'icier.t
J i'-u 't :0'" U will cause his up
per front teeth to protrude and
i-icvtu.. iiis teeth lroai coming to
gether properly.
"Fortunate',;.-. Billy i:; still so
your.:.: that we can correct the habit
easily. This is how we will do it.
Make a ttiu cardboard cuff for each
aria. This cuff should be long enough
to :!(;:; ui:. frrm his shoulder
to his It should be large
choiran that be ar. bend hi; elbow
slightly, yet he should not be able
to I "iid it enough that he "can get
his har.d to his mouth. The cuffs
can be fastened to his sleeve by
safety pins. This method gives free
dom to his hands and it allows him
lo use and cxLrcire his arras, yet it
prevents him from sucking hi3
thumb."
Ni ( (i 1'. r -i to r,;-y. both Mrs. Brown
and her lrier.d. Mrs. Reynolds were
delighted with the results. Their vis
ion of a rabbit-faced Billy soon
faded. By the time Billy was five
months old. all evidence of the un
pleasant habit had disappeared.

Plan Preliminary
Performance Check-Up.
Precinct chairmen working on the
Agricultural Conservation program,
met at the Farm Bureau office Mon
day night to make plans for a pre
liminary check-up of performance on
rurms on which applications have
been written for 19S7. Tbi.s check
up must be completed by Ma' 15th
and plans are to. start by May fith or
7th. All records of spring secdings
will be checked during this time and
farmers should have bills of sale, and
certifications of adapted sc?d ready
for the committeemen when they visit
their farm. This check-up is to help
farmers clarify tluir records so that
compliance will be very easy when
finally done in late summer.
Reduce! Freight Hates to End.
Eates to End.
Availability of spring pastures is
expected to make it unnecessary for
the V. S. Department of Agriculture's
drouth committee to seek extension
of reduced freight rates beyond May
15.
The reduced rates are on livestock
feeds and roughages. The original
"deadline" on the rates expired sev
eral weeks ago but was extended to
May 15. The rates are en the basis
of two-thirds of commercial rates ap
plicable on hay, concentrates, coarse
grains, mixed feeds and mixed feed
ingredient3. On straw and other
roughages, reductions are on the
basis of 50 per cent of the commercial
rates on hay.
The Cass county Farm Bureau has
helped local farmers secure the bene
fit of the reduced freight rates while
they have been in effect. A total of
one hundred and thirty-four per
mits have been issued by the agricul
tural agent.
