GET TOGETHER DAY
FOR RURAL FOLKS
CONFERENCE OF COUNTY AGENT
AND FARMERS ARRANGED
FOR JULY.
WILL BE HELD AT STATE FARM
OL.-HUNDREDS EXPECT
TO ATTEND.

Attention is being given more and
more each year to rural life and along
with the many farm bureaus and farm
schools come the Rural Life Conferences,
the first of which in this state is to be
held at the University Farm the 24th
and 25th of this month. Superinten-
dent Kennedy has received information
from State Superintendent G. G. Schulz
outlining the general scope of the work
for this first gathering.
1t is hoped by means of this conference
to find out the attitude of people of the
country side toward the work that the
state departments are attempting to do
and to learn their ideas in connection
with the practicability and usefulness of
various endeavors of county agents.
There have been communities which
have refused the services of the county
agent after having had one for a period
OF time and it is necessary to learn what
factors enter into the successful CO.
operation Of the agent and the man or
woman he is trying to help to better
living.
1t is planned to give most Of the time
in one section to the consideration of
problems in connection with rural school
consolidation which is one of the most
important questions of the present day.
The following program will give an idea
of the many items entering into the
correct solution of the consolidation
problem.

Sammy Jay, "if We are to get Farmer

snare gets around to look at it and finds
poor Mrs. Grouse. Well go right over to
Farmer Browns dooryard now"
You mean you WILL retorted Reddy

Farmer Browns Boy not long ago, and
got away with chicken. If he sees me
around there again he may get out that
terrible gun. I'm afraid he hasn't for
gotten that chicken yet
Sammy chuckled. That was the clev-
crest thing you ever did. Reddy" said
he Il saw it. and l will admit that you
fooled me as much as you did him, and
YOU know it isn't often that will admit
to being fooled. I certainly thought you
were dead when he had you over his
shoulder. If you can be as smart today.
perhaps we can save Mrs. Grouse"
Reddy looked pleased. Praise from
Sammy Jay was praise indeed. Reddy
is like most of the rest of US. and
likes to be admired when he does
smart thing.
IF you'll feel better about it you can

while I try to get Farmer Browns Boy
over there" continued Sammy. eff he
doesn't have his terrible gun, and Tn
sure he won't. because he never takes 1t
out these days, you can show yourself.
He'll be likely to follow you just to
scare you away from his chicken yard.

Steep Roofs Advisable.
Romanesque churches were built in
barrel vault over the nave, supported
by half barrel vault over each aisle.
Such an arrangement allows of no
clerestory and becomes less suitable,
owing to lack of light, the further
north we go.
In northern countries, where we
have more rain and occasional snow to
encounter, sleeper roofs are advisable
with ordinary building materials. than
those used in Greek and Roman build
ings. Windows are larger and details
to be satisfactory must be holder.
The use of groined vaulting instead

discovered in Rome) allowed light to
be obtained in the upper part of the
building, and in Romanesque architects
particularly in the northern parts of
France and England. groined vaulting
was developed for this purpose.
The use of the round arch in groined
vaultlng led to many difficulties, and
ugly stilted arches had sometimes to
be used. The application of the point

provided, and this method of con-
struction became the normal one in the
north of France and in England
When the renaissance in architecture

Clouded Windows.

Many people have a window or a
part of one which they would like
barred to the too-curious gaze of
passers-by or. possibly. of neighbors.
This can be managed, says the Ma
tional Real Estate Journal. by prettily
crystallizing the window glass as fol-
lows: Fill a jam pot one-third full of
gum arabic and add a little hot water
Let this soak for some hours and when
the gum has quite dissolved add the
same quantity of epson salts. Then
stand the jam pot in a basin of hot
water and stir well until the salt has
quite dissolved Apply the mixture to
the glass quickly with a cameIs hair
brush.
The effect is like crystallized ground
glass, and, while light is admitted. no
one can see through it. The effect of
plain ground glass is obtained by using
a linen rag instead of a brush and put
ting the preparation on thinly.

Why Doors and Windows Stick.

Every one Is familiar with the fact
that during damp weather doors, win
dows, bureau drawers, etc, refuse to
operate in anything like normal
manner. Later when the weather is
dry or when the house has been heated
they again work as smoothly as the
day they We're made. This is due to
the property which wood has OF taking
up moisture from the air. Similarly
wet or green wood will lose moisture
until it contains an amount that win
balance with the surrounding air. The
taking up of moisture by wood is &C
companied by swelling, and shrinkage
occurs when the wood loses moisture.
The forest products laboratory has
under way a series of tests to deter
mine accurately the amount of shrink
age and swelling for different species
of wood. 1t is expected that these
tests will lead to the perfection of
method of controlling these changes.

how once upon time Farmer Browns

DRAW" Is Necessary.

The one great drawback to the pres
ent-day fireplace is In being unable to
burn a wood or coal fire in it. This is
due to the fact that because the great
majority of fireplaces are designed to
burn nothing but gas the younger gem
GRAFTON of masons does not know how
to build chimney that will draw the
smoke and coal gas without letting it
out into the room. The whole secret
of building fireplace that will draw"
lies in starting the fiue from the very
extreme front of the breast instead of
the back or halfway back, as is often
done. While improper fiue construction
is annoying when endeavoring to burn
wood or coal, it is much more so, in a
certain sense, when endeavoring to
burn gas on an extremely cold day.
This is on account of the gas pressure
