COMFORT IN HOME
VALUE OF SYSTEM is BEGINNING
TO BE APPRECIATED.
Well to Get Rid Of Useless Trif1es
That Take Up Space and Make
Workout Alarm Clock
to Use.

(By NELLIE MAXWELL. Department OF
Farmers Institutes of the University OF
wisconsin,
Have you gone through your home,
putting away many pieces of bric-a.
brac, too choice with associations to
give away perfectly useless, incongru.
Gus things, taking up space and caus.
ing needless handling to keep in or.
der?
If not. do, for the love and comfort
of your family. If these things have
real value shut them away for n time.
Mt least, and they will be enjoyed
again, absence making the heart grow
fonder."
1t is becoming more and more the
custom for housewives to go through
boxes, drawers and closets and give to
rummage sales, grab-bags and fairs
things that have passed their day.
Books, magazines, pictures, china and
ornaments may be passed on to greater
usefulness.
Many little people are made glad by
a bit of finery for the doll or things to

but little thought to place In their
hands. What a gain for repose and
beauty, to say nothing OF space, and
time for important duties, If these OBJ
jects could be eliminated. Simplicity
Is the keynote Of the age, and the com.
Portable home is a restful place.
Emerson says n lady is serene. Doc
tors tell us that hurry, like worry, is
death to good looks and an enemy to
health as well. The people who accom-
plish the most In the worlds work are
those who plan well and ~serenely ac-
complish their task.
Did you ever time yourself on q Ger.
tain piece of work, whether making q
buttonhole or frying doughnuts? If you
have you know the time needed and
will be able to plan your day. OF
course, there are always the unexpect.
ed Interruptions which we cannot plan
on, but 1t Is wise to know the length
of time 1t takes to accomplish certain
definite pieces of work.
II mistresses had a better under.
standing or these things there would
be more peace and harmony in the
household, and a maid who had q two
weeks washing under way would not
be asked to prepare dinner for invited
guests. 1t Is the inconsiderate women
who are helping to keep the servant
problem unsolved, and are always look.
ing for a servant.
If one Is not possessed with the pre-.
cious power Of concentration, use an
alarm clock and set 1t at the time that
dinner Is to be started or the bread put
into or taken out of the oven. 1t takes
but an instant to provide this security
and 1t so relieves the mind that the
whole attention may be put upon what.
vel work Is ut hand.
When we learn to keep our sense of
proportion and know that, however de-
sirable it may be to have the washing
out early, a sweet temper, a calm and
quiet mind, are much more to be de.
sired and vastly more appreciated by
the home folk.

Grain Crop to Be Good.

The reports of grain damage in the
state may or may not be correct, but
evidently there is an impression in
many quarters that there will be grain
to handle this fall. There were incor-
porated for the month of July sixteen
different organizations for buying
grain; five grain companies of differ
ent class; and seven were equity, or
farmers. cooperative companies, all OF
which handle grain. These people are
all evidently buildisg their business on
what they know of the local grain
crop, and indicate that they have a
belief in the success Of the crop in the
section they represent.

Mr.. Ford was very briefly abroad,

himself - which, by the way, Is some
what of proof that he has gained in
wisdom. Since his return he has said
a number of things, ranging from cpl
gram to epitapn, as it were. Naturally,
his mood IS not jubilant. His courage is
good enough, so far as readiness to
back peace movements is concerned;
but he has learned too much about his

ganda. The ''boys out of the trenches

would fight little, were subjects not
