WHO HIT JAKE?

Jake Wingert, Jr., is still won
dering who hit him-and why.
He and his bride recently moved
into the house belonging to his
father, on Sabin Ave, Saturday
night about eleven, after he had
retired, Mrs. Wingert wanted a
drink and h got up to get come
fresh water from the pump. He
didn't come back; Mrs. Wingert
looked out of the window
and saw a strange man
running out of the yard, onto the
sidewalk. She went down and
found her husband unconscious.
He was unconscious about half
hour. When he went out, he says,
he caught the glimpse of man
standing beside his door - h e n
night came. The man must have
used sand bag, as there were no
bruises on Jake anywhere.
Mrs. Wingert feels certain she
can identify the man, and Jake is
certain he knows him. But why
did he do it?-Spring Valley Sun.

Work on the new addition is

pleted and the cement walls are
being laid. The basement is to be
40 by so with height of 20 feet,
half the distance being above the

now TO SEW ON BUTTONS

"I'd rather do anything than sew
on buttons, says one young woman
who does good portion of her own
sewing. She didn't know how, and
that gave her trouble.
This is the way Miss Annabell
Turner instructor in homeeconomics

division, says button should be
sewed on.
Take small stitch, bringing the
knot Oh the right side. Run up
through one hole of the button and
draw it down just over the knot.
Lay a pin across the button and
work the stitches over the pin
When the button is firmly sewed re-
move the pin. Pull the button out
of the material and wind the thread
around the threads between the but
ton and the cloth several times to
form a shank. Pass the needle
through to the wrong side and fast
en- the thread with several small
stitches.
The shank formed makes button
ing easier and lessons the strain on

AL M0ULTlNG FOWLS SHOULD
HAVE GOOD FEED

When late summer rolls around
and the hens begin to cast their
feathers and droop around in a lazy
fashion or shuttle sand in some
shady nook, then is the time that
the egg basket returns with the bot
tom hardly covered, for it is the sea-
son of rest and transition commonly
called the noult.''
But despite this falling away liber-
al feeding must not be discontinued
This is the hens rightful vacation.
She will repay her owner later on
for the food given her now.
Such is the belief of j. G. Halpin
poultryman of the College of Agri-
culture, University of Wisconsin,
who urges specialize and attention
be given to the menus of moulting
fowls.
A generous supply of good feed
IS necessary throughout the moult-
ing period. Of course a variety of
feed is preferable, where possible to
obtain.
Grass is apt to be dry and woody
at this time OF year, and hence, the
use of alfalfa or other green forage
plant as q supplement to the usual
fresh "pickings" is recommended by
Mr.. Halpin in addition to liberal
grain rations. Cabbage and fresh
chopped vegetables and table scraps
are also valuable.

DON'T Liz TO YOUR WIFE,

G. S. Primrose's Company will be
here on Aug % at the Auditorium
in Campbell B. Casad's riot of
laughter, "Don't Lie to Your Wife"
with a whole lot Of musical inter
ruptions-catchy, classy and comic.
This piece had long run at the
Whitney Opera House in Chicago
and was one of the most successful
playing the various cities the past
season.
IF the word of the Chicago
wives is to be taken, every wife in
this city should see this play-the
story deals. with the adventures of
three gentlemen who decide to
make night of it during the abb
sence of their wives, who had gone
to the seaside for an outing.
Such conditions as are shown in
this play are happening every day
about us, and if there are any
husbands in this city who believe
they can go out with chorus girls
and have the accompanying good
time without the knowledge of
their wives, they should witness
the complications the author has
inserted in this play:
Every incident was gathered by
Mr.. Casad when he was connected
with the editorial staff of t h e
New York Herald and this affords
modern day happenings through
out the theme.
The gowning is said to be ex-
quisite and the scenic mountings
are in thorough accord with this
high grade attraction. The chorus
is said to be an exceptional on e
las they are all very pretty and
can really sing and dance.
