An illustration Of the great impor-

In one case it was found that the
BOY Of the family was helped and en-
souraged from the time he first Joined

use Of one of the best acres on the
farm, gave him barnyard manure, and
allowed the use Of the necessary
horses and machinery. The young club
member produced more than a hun
dred bushels of corn on his single acre
the first year, and has been consistent
" successful since. He has even
established a reputation as a breeder
of fine seed corn. During the four
years Of his membership In the corn,
pig and other clubs, he has won more
than S400 in prizes, and, with his
profits, has acquired ownership of

THE HOUSEWIFE GETS
HER MONEYS WORTH

Time was when the housewife phac
ticed loose methods in purchasing her
foodstuffs.
But not in this age OF the high cost
Of living Today she practises bust
ness methods, and she makes il a
point to get her moneys worth.
IN her selection OF foodstuffs she de
votes much thought. She studies the
food market and familiarizes herself
with the different brands of foods.
When she strikes the right article
she sticks to it, She wants the hest
at the lowest cost and she gets II il
she follows the right methods Of Sc
lection.
The housewife should give careful
consideration to the baking powder
tea. coffee, flour and other similar
foods if she is to get full value for her
money.
There is always one best brand in
every line. and it is the housewife IS
duty to find that brand.
Some women prefer one kind Of
baking powder while other women de
mand a different kind. There is one
baking powder that has been on the
market for years-Calumet- which
apparently from its steady sales and
increased popularity hits the happy
medium and pleases every housewife
no matter what her demands.
In purchasing foods be sure that
you practice caution and you viii get
the best.

curtiss RuiIds azeny Chaser.

A Zeppelin destroyer has been test
ed at the Curtiss Aeroplane company's
flying grounds in Buffalo. Reports Of
Its performance, remarks the Philadel-
phia Ledger, say 1t is the most remark
able machine ever built for pursuit
and airship chasing. Victor Carl
strom, the long distance record holder,
was the pilot and tested the aero
plane under all conditions, remaining
in the air for more than an hour and
landing with ease.
The aeroplane is tractor triplane.
and was developed in answer to the
demand for an aeroplane which could
leave the ground, overtake and de-
stroy ralding Zeppelin. The new
machine made a maximum speed OF
120 miles an hour and throttled down
until it made 45 miles an hour. The
chief feature Of the new triplane model
is its ability to climb. At the trial it
aseended 10000 feet at the rate Of
1000 feet a minute.

A Philadelphia contractor who has
observed that pedestrians pay little
attention to signs has evolved a new
plan TO guard against accidents to
innocent bystanders. A steam
shovel working many feet below the
surface Of the street attracts scores Of
persons daily. They stop, lean over
the board railing around the excaya-
ton and stare. Sometimes the crowd
gets so large that there is danger Of
the railing giving way and piunging
them into the excavation. Danger
signs don't worry them-hence the new
idea of the contractor. He has smeared
the top Of the railing with tar and
grease. Now persons who never shud-
der nj the danger" sign fee from the
grease menace as if it were poison.
