FARM-TO-KlTCHEN PLAN WINS
California Granaers Declare Their Ex-
pertinent Has Proved to Be
Success.

Success for their direct marketing
experiment was claimed by the
grangers of Sacramento county, who
have been operating their enterprise
under the David Lubin plan of selling
farm products direct from the country
producer to the city consumer, the Sac
ramento (Cal) correspondent of the
San Francisco Bulletin writes. They
have expressed hope that congress
would take some action recognizing
the plan.
The Sacramento county grangers,
headed by Joseph Holmes, master of
the California state grange, assumed
the burden of the experiment.
After the first eight days Of opera
tion Holmes said:
There is no question in my mind
about the feasibility of the plan. 1t
presents undoubted possibilities and
would be a great success"
During the experiment the parcel
post Is not being used. Instead, the
grange sends motor car around to
gather up and distribute the products.
To meet this expense and other ex-
pense of operation tags are sold to
farmers at a rate that would equal the
parcel-post charges as set forth in Lu-
bins bill, these rates, by the way, to
be special for farmers.
Here's how 1t works:
The farmer mails or sends In tags
on which he designates the products
he has for sale and the price at which
he holds them. The city housewife
mails, telephones or brings In her or
der to the central office, paying with
coupons. The orders are distributed
among the farmers and next day the
motor car delivers the products. The
farmer receives cash TO the amount of
the coupons.
The grangers assert that their plan
saves housewives from two to ten
cents a pound on all products.

BUILDS ITS NEST OF MUD
Under the Eaves of Houses Cliff
Swallows Make Their
Homes.

Years ago, before houses and barns
were as plentiful as they are now, the
cliff swallow built it's house Of tiny
mud bricks on the side Of a rocky
cliff, says the Philadelphia North
American. The nest builders find g.
convenient patch Of clay, roll up the
mud into tiny pellets and carry them
to their nesting site. There they
fashion them into a home as skill
fully as any bricklayer could do 1t,
rounding 1t over the top like a roof
and leaving a round opening for a
door. Because these nests were usu-
ally found on the sides of cliffs they
named the bird the cliff swallow.
Today the bird doesn't have to find
a cliff for it's home. A sheltered place
under the caves of barn will suit
it just as we'll. You'll find more cliff
swallows today at home under the
caves than you will in their ancestral
castles on the rocks.
The bird wears a shiny blue black
coat and a brownish yellow vest. Its
tail, reddish brown, is only slightly
forked, which distinguishes 1t from
the regular Swallow tails"
Perhaps you have been told that the
nest of the cliff swallow Is infested
with bedbugs, and perhaps you have
torn down all the nests you could find
to get rid of the pests. This is a
common SANDER against the swallow.
The nest contains no insects which
can be communicated to houses. On
the other hand, the cliff swallow per-
forms Unreasonable benefit by de-
stroying many leaf bugs and weevils.

What's Keeping EN- Out.

A Philadelphia editor says that
Charles Frohman, before setting off
on the Lusitania's last voyage, joked
a good deal about London's theaters
in war time.
-'"The London revues," he said one
day. have funny names-'Come Over
Here and Stop Your Fooling,' and
oh, Be Careful A good title for one
Of these thinly attended revues
would be What's Keeping EN- Out?'
"The last revue 1 visited the audi
ence hardly numbered a hundred. I
said to the manager consolingly:

guess it's the war, eh?'
"'No,' he growled, with al oath and
a side glance at the author. No, it's
the price,"

Manganese is one of the sub
stances which had long been used in
the arts before its existence as an
Independent metal was recognized.
From prehistoric times it was en-
ployed as a coloring material, but it
was not known to be a distinct metal
until 1774. In India the primitive
smiths used it as a fux and as an al
10y for holding iron and bronze.

The year 1880 was a presidential one.
Mark Twain was for General Garfield
and made a number Of remarkable

came to Hartford during the campaign.
and Mark Twain was chosen to make
the address Of welcome. Perhaps no
such address Of welcome was ever
made before. he began:

Grant had smiled more than once

throng shouted approval. Clemens

A very warm friendship had grown

Shaking Hand. at French Funerals.

Shaking Hands at French Funerals.
A most painful custom at French
funerals is the posting at the exit
door of the church wherein the cere-
monies take place of the male head
of the deceased PERSONS family, the
widower or the eldest son or brother,
whose duty it is to shake hands with
every person who has been present
at the obsequies when once they are
over and people r going away. 1t
is not etiquette for the gentleman
to speak to anybody, but if he is
moved to tears his weeping is con-
sidered a most appropriate action.
