One Of the hardest duties in house. hold is that Of doing the weekly wash ing. A good washing machine saves much Of expense and labor. The main thing in selecting washer is to get one that does the work the quickest with the least effort. Next is the dura- bility. These are the things that have made the Wonder Washer superior to all others. The Wonder Washer has four principles:
 First: SUCTION-for the first time applied by rotary motion.
 Second: SWINGING the clothing through the water by open loops, that hold the clothing.
 Third: SQUEEZING in both ends Of the machine at each semi revolution of the handle.
 Fourth: RUBBING, but not so Vio- lently as to wear or tear the goods or BREAK THE BUTTONS.
 It is the neatest quietest, quickest, simplest, easiest, most durable washer built.

But the farmer is the man who needs the information most, and it is to reach the farmer that Prof. Willis L. Moore and his assistants are striving. The tele- phone has solved the problem in the mid dle west and along the Atlantic coast. It's rapid extension through rural dis tricts makes 1t of increasing importance each day. Telephone companies are re- quested to aid the bureau in the dissemin- ation of this useful information. Most of them gladly accede. Some of them re- fuse and want money. Those who go in for cooperation advertise the connec- ton with the weather service as a feature to induce farmers to become telephone subscribers. The telephone service Is managed in this fashion: The nearest official weather office telephones to the central office of the telephone system the forecast, it Is then distributed to each central exchange in the system, and cen tral," ever obliging. will be delighted to tell any inquirer over the phone what the weather outlook may be- In case of hurricane or cold wave warning there is a general call, and each sub scriber is informed so that he may have ample time to protect himself his stock and his crops.
