WINNETKA ; TALK May 14, 1927 Lee Says: THE man who said that ACCIDENTS will happen IN the best regulated FAMILIES certainly knew WHAT he was talking ABOUT --take your own FAMILY, for instance, and WE'LL wager you've had a SURPRISING number of ACCIDENTS,--not serious, PERHAPS, but bad enough TO require first aid-- AND that brings us to THE subject in hand today, FIRST AID! JUST now we are FEATURING first AID essentials, such AS gauzes, adhesive tape, ANTISEPTICS, and other ARTICLES that should be IN the medicine cabinet of EVERY Winnetka home, READY for instant use when THAT accident occurs-- IT may be only a slight BURN, a little skin ABRASION, or even a MOSQUITO bite, but there's DANGER in it unless you APPLY "First Aid."

Local Nimrods Depart to "Write" New Story Dr. Frank N. Woods, local dentist, and R. E. Crosby, a builder, left Fri- day for a fishing trip up on Wolf river near Antigo, Wis. E. C. Weisenberg says he is familiar with these "fishing grounds," and has been since childhood. He has heard all the big stories regard- ing catches, coming from this section for years, but admits that on the re- turn of the local nimrods he will be prepared to learn that all previous records there have been shattered.

But a little later they were taken out to a real farm where the chicken and pigs run about in dismaying numbers and the cows go "moo" without prompting Mr. Dismalface to say ugly things about the neighbors. And then Mr. Brown took them around to his big silo and allowed them to get up inside and told them all about what silage is--and how it gets that way. And he showed them the big barns, where the horses and cows stay on cold winter nights and told why the animals wear fur coats. Up in the hayloft, where the chickens steel away to lay eggs so that Mr. Brown won't find them, the clover and hay are kept and Mr. Brown had the chil- dren throw some down to the horses. So finally, after seeing and learn- ing all about how the milk is handled and the farm is run, the children came back to the school a set of potential farmers. But farmers can't be farm- ers without a farm, so they proceeded to build one. First they erected the big barn, with real swinging doors and a hayloft. Then they built stalls and corncribs in the barn. And as there had to be animals to stay in the barn and they didn't have any real ones small enough--they cut out paper ones. The trees wouldn't grow in the school room so the children cut out green paper leaves and glued them on branches and set them out around the barn yard. The cows kept straying away so a fence was built to keep them at home. At last the farm was finished --of course they didn't have a house but then they didn't intend to stay there at night anyway. While they were making the barn, the children had stored away veget- ables and fruit just like farmer Brown did and after they had completed their miniature farm, they all sat down to a real home cooked dinner which they prepared in the school kitchenette. They had buttered carrots and baked potatoes and apple sauce and they churned the butter themselves. Quite an appropriate way to finish a course in the study of farm life--eh what?
