Linen of all grades, it has been pre-
dicted, will in time simply disappear.
Some Scotch linens which we might
have had last month were reported sub.
marined. Most of the flax used is grown
in Russia, some in Germany, Holland
and Belgium. 1t can be readily seen
that with war occupying availa5ls
space and men, not much flax is being
grown and as result there is linen
shortage. Linen is bleached mostly
in Ireland because Ireland has CO.
mate peculiarly adapted to bleaching.
Flax is grown in West Virginia some
but is not used for linen but instead
the seed is used for flaxseed oil, oil
cake for stock is made.

Il has occurred to me that many IN

overlooked by many. So much Of val:c
comes to our city that unless one nas
great quantity Of time in which to
browse about town, much is missed.
We shop hurriedly nowadays and in the
haste necessary to a busy life, great
deal Of the best that Fairmont has to
offer US escapes our notice. Fairmont
perhaps more than any other city or
the same size shows great taste-much
ingenuity and more originality this
year than ever before in her buying for
the public. Many articles are unob.
tainable this year; this means a new
line Of something to take the place

something about children's picture

Cooling Moth Trap.

trap, which consists Of a burlap band
covered by strip Of wire screen, is
made as follows:
Strips Of burlap six inches wide are
folded into three thicknesses. The
loose bark from the lower branches
and trunk of the tree is removed and a
strip Of this burlap folded once around
the trunk. 1t is held In place by large
tacks, which should be driven In in
such way that the edge projects
about one-fourth of an inch beyond the
burlap. The burlap is then covered by
black-painted wire screen with IL
meshes to the inch. This is cut into
strips six inches wide and the edges
Of each strip are folded twice, allowing
one-fourth Of an inch to each fold.
The strip Of screen should be long
enough to allow for an overlap of three
to four inches when placed around the
trunk Of the tree. The wire screen is
placed over the burlap band and tackled
to the tree In such a way that both the
upper and lower edges fit snugly
against the bark. The projecting tacks
used to fasten the burlap to the tree
prevent the wire pressing against the
cloth. To make sure that no moths
may escape through openings along the
edges Of the trap or along the flap, a
thin coating Of pitch tar may be used.
This material, when heated, may be ap-
piled readily with brush.
IL must be clearly understood that
this trap is not substitute for spray
ing, but merely an additional precau-
ton. Nevertheless, some larvae will
invariably escape, and the offspring Of
these are largely responsible for the
damage to the fruit crop. BY the use
Of the codling moth trap, in addition
to thorough spraying, the majority of
the Imprisoned larvae may be captured
and injury by later broods will be ma
terially reduced.

fellow and many Of them, although not
signing the pledge, are in their own
way protecting themselves when under
the influence of liquor. In Miami, Fla,
(among other things trading post for
the Seminoles), the story is current
that these Indians always paddle down
the Miami river in pairs; that they do
their trading, deposit their surplus cash
with certain merchant Of tried hon.
esty, and then 60 off for debauch, one
on the first day and the other the next,
the sober fellow refraining from even
a drop of "frewater" until his brother
has finished his fun. When both have
had their day, under the guidance and
protection of sober mate, they re-
claim their funds from their merchant

SKIM MILK IN FEED RATION
Not Valuable as Fat Producer When
Fed Alone on Account Of Lack Of
Starch and Sugar.
tBy JOHN c. RuRNs.l

Skim milk, on the basis Of its COM
position, is Of the class known as pro-
tein feeds. Being too deficient in
starches and sugars (carbohyrates) as
well as fat 1t is not very valuable
as fat producer when fed alone.
When combined with corn or some
similar feed in the proper proportions
the protein Of the skim milk supplies
the deficiency Of the protein in the
corn, while the carbohydrates of the
corn supply that deficiency In the skim
milk, the two feed stuffs thus forming
a balanced ration. This means ra-
ton which contains the nutrients in
proportions to meet the needs Of the
animal body for its best development.

HOLDING MOISTURE IN SOIL
One Of Chief Points In WeIl-Pulverixed
Soil. Without Which Soil ls
Only Ordinary.

One Of the chief points of value in a
well-pulverized soil is its moisture
holding capacity. 1t is to hold water
that we introduce organic matter as
well as to feed the plants, for humus
holds soil moisture best, but pulveri-
zation alone is highly effective.
