His knowledge. This is a great coun

ralment on hand now to supply all

Nothing sensational has happened

CROSS KEYS

Cross Keys, May 25.-We are still
having dry weather so that seeds of
every kind that were planted nearly
a month ago are still dry Cotton on
gray or sandy land is up to stand,
but does not grow much. Corn is
drying up on red land, or where there
was too much clay turned up in thu
spring plowing. Oats are compar-
ative failure, except where they are
near water. Some farmers are talk
ing of plowing them under for ma
nuring purposes. Gardens are fail
ures so far. 1t is very hard matter
to get plants to live when they are
transplanted.
Our people are little blue over
the changes made by the State DEM
ocratic convention in the rules gov
erning the primary elections Some
claim it is a direct thrust at Gov
Blease, but so far as my personal
knowledge goes it will hinder more
of Mr.. Smiths friends than Gov.
Blease's from voting. When we get
used to going and writing our own
names on the club rolls | guess it
will be all right. / think the trouble
with the primary elections lies with
the managers, and l don't think that
the present rules will hinder men
who are dishonest from landing to-
gether and making fraudulent re-
turns, but it is a very hard matter
to make rules of any kind that will
make bad men do the right thing al
ways.

A Baby Strike

for having children by her husband"

strike. and why should not child-bear-

Ibsen Inspired
BY Two Women

CHRISTIANIA. April g.-The death
of the widow of Henrik Ibsen in her
seventy eighth year has revived the
controversy as to how much he owed
to her and how much to her step
mother. whose maiden name was Anna
Maria kragh. when she became the
third wife OF Hans Conrad Thoresen,
and took charge of his only daughter,
Susa nna, the child of his second mar
riage.
Long before Ibsen married Susanna a
close friendship had been formed with
her stepmother which was to last to
the end OF their days. Mrs. Thoresen
was writer of plays, and several of
these plays We're produced at the Ber-
gen Theater, where lbsen was mana
ger. She is also said 20 have inspired
Ibsen's first play, Lady lnger OF Os-
trait but il was Susanna. then twenty
years OF age, who was the prototype of
the heroine. and it was so Ibsen nick
named her. Twenty years later. in
1876. I5sen gave his wife a German
translation of the play as a Christmas
| gift, inscribing therein:
This book is by right indefeasibIe
thine
Who in spirit art born of the Os-
trat line"
During the long years of poverty
| which followed Ibsen's leaving the Ber.

were hardly out of each others sight fol-

Ice and refrigeration in the home
are one of The benefits and con-
veniences which present-day living
has brought us, and 1 wish merely
TO point out 10 the housekeeper
some OF the ways in which she can
cooperate with the companies in
their endeavor to give the consumer
good ice.
First, the housekeeper must insist
on full weight and measure. II ice
sells for 40 cents a hundred, then
she should each time get a full fifty
pounds for her 20 cents But let her
be honest, too. In an investigation
recently made it was found that
many housekeepers were in the habit
OF bribing the driver for extra pieces,
etc. or putting out a sandwich or
bottle of beer. so THAI the drivers
would give them more than their ice
coupons showed. Certainly We cam
not expect the common employees TO
be honest IL we, ourselves, stoop TO
such underhand methods.
The housekeeper should know the
exact size of the ice chamber she is
using. There is little economy in
buying small pieces frequently, and
It is much more efficient to fill the
ice chamber completely. but less
often. Do not take broken pieces,
as these melt much faster.
Even now some housekeepers think
il is economy to place folded news
papers over the ice TO save IT.
This is a bad practice. and creates
odors from the ink OF the printing.
II NAV save" the ice. but II VIII
not refrigerate the foods. as it Is
the melting of the ice that keeps
the foods iced. There is. however.
a special paper blanket of pure
parchment paper that comes espe-
ciaIIy to cover the ice. Never Dlac-
hot or even warm foods in the lower
compartments-far less in the actual
ice chamber. Do not open the t."
chamber at all. and never put any
foods in II. not even bottles OF milk
or water. Thus. by keeping the lid
entirely shut, you will avoid the
