an editorial the other day commend
ing Harrisburg in strong terms for its
progress and it's intelligent city plan
ming.
The editorial in question refers to a
city plan now on exhibition at Holyoke
which, the Transcript says, should be
carefully inspected by every man,
woman and child in that city. Be
sides being a work of art" observes
our Holyoke contemporary, 'ft repre-
sents something toward which the
future effort Of the city as civic unit
ought to be directed. 1t means effort
on the part of the city, but nothing
worth while comes without effort"
And further:
tai city of Pennsylvania, the peo-
pie are closing a three-day eele-
brstOn TO-DAY over yer the n,Srowasht aSS9mpIlsht
scheme known as "the Harrisburg
plan" They ought to celebrate.
They have done something worth
fine city to compare with Holyoke
except for the fact that Harrisburg
never had half as good a start for for
two cities are nearly the same in
population and in area of terri
tory.
Continuing its comment, the Tran
script discusses the Harrisburg plan"
reviews the achievements of the last
fifteen years here and concludes in
these words:
The result is this. Harrisburg
now has seventy miles of paved
streets (H0lVOke has about thirty
miles). 1t has over 1000 acres in
its park system. modern hltra-
tion plant for, its fine water sup
ply, summer playgrounds and
swimming pools for children, a
summer camp for children, public
River Front and river basin which
has been improved in a manner not
approached in the entire world.
Perhaps in 1920 or thereabouts
Holyoke will take three days off
and celebrate the accomplishment
of its city plan. Think it over.
That is the sort of praise that is
praise indeed. 1t is the honest COM
ment of an intelligent student of the
Harrisburg plan,' the plan which has
transformed an ultra-conservative and
indifferent community into q wide
awake. modern and public-spirited
city. 1t is we'll that our light shines
far beyond the Susquehanna and that
what has been done here is proving of
value as an example to other cities
which are seeking municipal better
mont.
Holyoke is no mean city; it is one
of the important Massachusetts indus
trial centers. and has many commend
a blp est batic features m attract tha
visitor. If what has been accomplished
here in a comparatively few years
serves to arouse civic interest and
energy in Holyoke, then what has been
done will not only have been of benefit
to our own people, but will guide in
the proper direction those of other
municipalities who are making a study
of the problems which are being solved
in the right way here.

in Paris for some thirty years. was
sent to a concentration camp by the
French authorities at the opening Of
the war. Bold had brought up large
family in Paris, but he had never
thought Of getting naturalized. So
when the war came the whole family
along with the score or more of Hun
garian musicians in the orchestra,
were bundled off to a camp. The
property which Bold had acquired out
Of his years Of savings was put under
sequester and the family found itself
in straits.
Now the king of Spain is passionate
ly fond Of Hungarian music and used
to give really royal tips to Boldi every
time he went to Paris for many years.
Boldis son even went to play in fash
ionable restaurant at Madrid ON recon-
mendations given by the king. When
the king heard from Hungarians at
Madrid that the Boldi family was in
difficulties he had his secretary send
them a monthly allowance of 800
francs $500, which has gone to the
camp every month since the outbreak
of the war. There is little need for
money at the camp, so the whole fam
lily is quite comfortable on King Al.

When the Worlds All New.

1t is the same old world that we
greeted on New Years morning. But
somehow 1t looked so different. The
invisible dividing line between last
year and this has made possible q
new angle of vision. The grip of old
passions seems to have lost its hold
and a new purpose. partly old. partly
new, throbs for recognition. A gen.
tleness appears in faces thought to
be hard and cynical. Happiness
sparkles in the eyes of sad and lonely
folk. A sort of introduction is need
ed to oneself. For the dawn of the
new year makes possible fresh at
tack on the ageweary problems,
another attempt to produce the best
instead of the good, and new walk
down by-ways of human experience
where one may be good Samaritan
with no eye but his to see and
understand. The world is all new on
New Years morning my world,
your world, our world--to make over
for the Kingdom. = Ralph Welles

necessary to complete repair job On
farm implement or machine. There
is only one kind of red paint for q
farmer to buy. and that is pure red
lead. It penetrates better when mixed
with pure raw linseed oil, but boiled
oil is better for some purposes. The
word pure" In this connection means
good deal to farmer. Brick dust
resembles red lead very closely, but
brick dust is not much good to protect
either wood or iron from rusting. Cot
tonseed oil resembles linseed Oil. but
1t won't make good paint.
A farm implement shed. built and
equipped in this way. is strong In
ducement to keep the tools and ma
chinery in good working order. It
means a great deal at seeding time
in the spring, when every minute
should count, to have the tools all
ready to hitch on to and to have them
In condition to do their very best
work. A farmers time in winter is
well spent by getting things ready
for the busy season in the spring.
Farming is largely mechanical. A
farmer, to be successful, must under
stand his machines and have mechani-
cal ingenuity enough to keep them In
good proper condition to do their work
as the manufacturer intended.
The illustration shows how the shed
is built of light timbers with plenty
of large doors to get the machinery
in and out easily.
A word of caution in regard to the
front of the building may be neces-
sary. When a front is all doors, there
is little room for bracing. 1t is a
good plan to make the door posts
three or four feet longer than the H.
lustration indicates, and to extend
them down into the ground. This
should be done by digging holes larger
than the posts, then set the posts with
concrete to make them solid and to
preserve them from rotting. 1t takes
the place of stills. This makes very
solid building and one that will stand
plumb and square for great many
years.

is nearly 20 feet, which is sufficient
for binder in field condition or for
a two-horse spring tooth horse rake.
One end of the building is intended
for machine shop, to be partitioned
off by enclosing the first bent. This
gives shop 16 feet square for black
smith shop and general repair work.
The machine shop part of the build.
ing will be arranged according to the
mechanical inclination of the farmer
A real, genuine, sure-enough farm re-
pair shop is a rather elaborate me-
chanical proposition. There is good
brick chimney to carry off the smoke
and gases from the. blacksmith fire.
and the chimney should have sepa-
rate fiue for heating stove. Farm
repair work is done mostly during the
winter months. when a fire in the
shop is necessary for comfort and eff.
cheney. A person cannot work to ad-
vantage with cold fingers. Paint re-
quires moderate heat to work to ad-
vantage. Painting farm implements
is very important part of repair
work.
A good shop arrangement is to have
an iron work bench across the end,
lighted by a wide window, built in
shop fashion. In the far corner
against the back wall is good place
for a woodworking bench. 1t is too
mussy to have the blacksmith work
and the carpenter work mixed up.
Also different styles of vises are
needed. A high, heavy iron wise for
blacksmith work and a low-down wise
that is flush with the top of the bench
for carpenter work. Besides the forge
and anvil, the farmer needs a good
drill press. The upright pattern that
bolts to post is most satisfactory.
Room is needed in the front and at
the right and left-hand sides of the
drill, with the post at the back. 1t
often happens that a farmer wants to
drill holes through long piece OF
iron, and this arrangement permits
passing 1t through from end to end.
Quite number of hand blacksmith
tools are needed. A partial list would
include about foVr pairs of tongs of
different shapes and sizes, black
Emith hammer, one lighter riveting
hammer with a fiat peen, a sledge
hammer, an anvil hardy, one pair of
horseshoe nippers, and small assert.
ment each of drills, cold chisels,
punches and files. This outfit would
not be expensive and it is sufficient
to do a great many jobs of repair
work. II may be added to at any time
when other tools are really needed
The farm carpenter tool outfit may
be less expensive, because fewer tools
are needed. A good crosscut hand
saw, having nine teeth to the inch,
will be found useful for farm work.
A good hand rip saw is more neces.
sary on a farm than In town, because
power woodworking machinery is
within reach Of the town workmen.
A farmer needs two or three nail
hammers, together with the hard and
fast rule that one belongs exclusively
In the shop and must be left there.
The farm shop should also be sup
piled with a good brace and set Of
bits 5-16ths to inch. Pod bits are
better up to and including u inch.
A jack plane and draw shave. with
some smaller odd tools, will complete
the necessary carpenter outfit to start
with.
A supply of red paint and two or
three brushes of different sizes are

EXTRA LINEN SUPPLY
MATTER THAT Is THE DESIRE OF
EVERY HOUSEWIFE.
Monosrams Should Be Embroidered
on Every Piece-Fancy Work
That Can Be Done in Mo.
ments Of Leisure.

No housekeeper can ever have
enough attractive linen for her table
and her bedrooms. She may have
enough for actual service. but 1t is
wise to keep Just little ahead Of the
actual need in extra towels for guest
room and bathroom. II is also advis-
able to keep just a little ahead in
the supply of linen for the table.
Every set of napkins and each table
cloth should have the housewives sur
name initial or her monogram en-
broidered upon it. There is a question
as to the proper place to put the
initial OF monogram, but the majority
prefer the letter on tablecloths to be
in the corner, where they will come
just off the rounded edge Of the table.
Napkins should have the initials in
the corner or in the middle on one
side, where they will be on top when
the napkins are folded. Tea napkins
are the only ones on which wreath
can appropriately be placed. 1t is
quite permissible to place an initial
within the wreath or other decorative
motif. Tea napkins can also be nm
ished with hemstitched or scalloped
edges.
Some women may argue that they
haven't time to put fancy work on
household linen. This is poor ar
gument, for almost every woman has
few moments during the day when
she sits down to chat with a neigh
Dor or when she is waiting for the
homecoming Of her husband to his
evening meal. 1t is during these odd
moments that a great deal can be
accomplished, especially in the way
Of fancy work. Pickup work is good
for the nerves.
