MAKING LIFE ATTRACTIVE
FOR FARMERS DAUGHTERS
Country Girl Winner OF $40 Prize In
Maryland Week Statewide Com
petition Tells What Makes
For Contentment.
VIRGINIA LOUISE BYRD,
OF Worcester County.

In making the farmers daughter
happy, attractive country homes are
first to be considered. The farmers
daughter should see to it that the farm
house is lastly painted or white
washed, the lawn well laid out, and
sufficiently large to admit of flowers
and shrubbery that she can easily care
for herself; that the barns and other
necessary out-buildings are far enough
away from the house to insure good
sanitation. Then if we add water,
lights, and heat, much has been done
to better social conditions, since our
thoughts and feelings in 3 great
measure are in keeping with our sur
roundings.
Such home will want the latest
magazines and books that are worth
while, the reading of which will not
only cultivate the tastes and desires,
but open to them larger possibilities.
A piano. a Victrola or some other
musical instruments should not be
lacking in adding to the refinement
and pleasures of home life for the
farmers daughter.
She should of course, be indepen-
ent enough to hitch up her own horse
and buggy whenever she needs 1t, and
will thus be able to greatly improve
her opportunities for social inter
course. In addition to this, occasion
al automobile trips can be arranged to
more distant friends or to attend some
thing attractive at the theater or opera
for the automobile is no longer lux
ury, but necessity Of country life
With such conveniences as rural mail
delivery, telephones, parcel post. and
automobiles, distance is no longer
drawback and the system of good
roads which our State is building has
already done much to better our so.
cial conditions.

EXPLOIT THRILLS LONDON
Submarine Bill Slips Into DardaneIe.
and Sinks Turkish Cruiser.

London, Dec. 15.-The announce
ment that a British submarine, the
Bill, had passed under a mine field
and had sunk the Turkish battleshir
Messudieh in the Dardanelles thrilled
and delighted London almost as much
as if the admiralty had reported tha;
a British submarine had slipped
through the mine defenses Of vii.
helmshaven and had torpedoed one of
Germany's superintendent in the
Kiel canal
1t is recognized by naval and mill
tary experts that it was as difficult a
job to enter the Dardanelles and let
fly a torpedo or two and get away IN
scathed as it would nave been to dare
the perils at the mouth of the Elbe
1t was the most daring marine ex-
plot of the war, more hazardous and
difficult adventure than any of the
open sea raids OF the German sub,
marine U-9, and greatly restores the
confidence of the public in the royal
navy's ability to match the German
navy in bOldness.
The Bills victim, the battleship
Messudieh, was an old pre-dreadnaught
built in 1874 in this country and re-
constructed at Genoa in 1903. She
was about 10000 tons displacement
and still a useful defensive vessel.
The official report makes no men
ton of the loss OF life when the Mes
sudieh was torpedoed. but it is as
sumed here from the experience of
submarine attacks that the loss of life
was heavy. The conclusion resulting
from the explosion of torpedo against
the plates of a battleship almost in
variably produces an explosion of the
magazine.
The Messudieh had a crew of 500
and was probably officered in part by
Germans, as German officers have
been assigned TO Turkish warshipS
very generally since the sultan de-
clared himself as an ally of the kaiser.

FEEDING DAMAGED GRAIN A
POOR PRACTICE.

There is always temptation when

waste it, While often no ill effects
follow this practice, still there is con.
siderable danger attached to the prsc.
tice. The argument is often advanced
that chickens running around natural
ly at large, eat feed in whatever state
they find it, and still keep perfectly
healthy. This may be true, but under
these conditions the birds probably do
not get an especially large dose" of
any one particular kind of spoiled
grain and their digestive system is
able to handle it.
Where one feels he simply must
feed damaged grain to poultry some
precautions should be taken. 1t might
be funigated to kill the mould spores
or it could be heated up to a high
temperature on the kitchen stove.

used. Another method might be to
scald the grain with boiling water a
short time before feeding. The safest
method if 1t is at all bad, is to use the

The Maryland farmers boy has

equipped to put in practice all of his
knowledge As the inventory of facts
grows, the reasons are deeper and
clearer why he should remain on the
farm.
TO sum up these reasons, the Mary.
land farmers boy should remain on
the farm because he belongs there by
hereditary principles. He is needed
there to continue the work of his fore
fathers in a more practical and profit
able way. He knows that by not re.
naming he would lose many years OF

Finally, he knows that he will find

Washington, Dec. 10. American
Consul Latham a Punta Arenas,
Chile, cabled the state department
that the German cruiser Dresden had
reached that port safely and unin-

The German embassy here issued
the following statement in regard to
the recent battle between the British
and German fleets off the coast of
South America:
According to official information,
eight English cruisers. among them
two of the Invincible type took part
in the battle off Falkland islands. The
Dresden, which arrived unchanged at
Punta Arenas, intercepted a wireless
message which stated that the Gneise-
nau and Scharnhorst were sunk and
that the Leipzig was burning. Nothing
definite was known about the Nurn.
