Economic Clubs
To Be Formed

The extension service of the Ore
gon Agricultural College, working
through the district home demonstra-
tion agents, desires to have organized
in every community possible study
clubs in home economics. The gov
ernment, realizing the responsibilities
which women are now being called
to carry, is recognizing the need of
giving assistance in the performance
of household tasks. The best scien-
tific information of the day relating
to efficient home life will be made
available for every member enrolled
in the home economies study club
work.
Home economies study clubs are
social as we'll as instructive in ma
ture, and any existing women's or
ganization may make use of the sug-
gested program for this year. A def
mite plan of study is important and
valuable to the success of any organ
ization. Any club taking up the
home economics study club work not
only has definite and excellent pro-
gram to follow, but at the same time
would be enabling the members to
receive training equivalent to short
course in school of home econom-
les.
If homemaking and housekeeping
are to keep pace with the other pro.
fessions some intelligent study must
be given them. No subject compares
with housekeeping with its possibili-
ties for improving the human race.
Better homes, better schools and bet
ter health will come only through
scientific study on the part of the
women in the home. Housekeeping
could be made easier and more in
teresting If modern science were util-
lied in the home.
Many women's organizations in the
state are accepting the home econom-
les study club programs as basis
for their work this year. Any exist
ing organization such as Parent
Teacher associations. oranges, farm
ers' unions or women's clubs may en-
roll for this work. New community
clubs in this county will be formed

Poultry .Butter" Valuable,


These days a pound of surplus
chicken fat is worth pound of but
ter or lard for cooking purposes, as
1t will take the place of lard and but
ter shortening in many kinds of sta
pie pastry and food dishes. 1t is by
no means uncommon to find pound
Of this butter-like surplus fat when
large laying hen Of breeds like the
Rock, Red, Orpington and Wyandotte
are dressed. This fat can be melted,
then canned or bottled while boiling
hot, and will keep for months. The
owner of the hens thus furnishing
shortening should not forget to credit
them at the rate of about 30 cents a
pound for all of this par-excellent
poultry "butter" that they yield.
Just here the champions of the
heavier breeds for heavy laying now
have a better argument than ever be-
fore. The lighter breeds as a rule
are doing well to furnish fat enough
rightly to flavor and enrich their own
meat when cooked.-B. F. w.
Thorpe.

How to Prolong the Garden Season.
A writer says in Farm and Fira.
side: 81 have tried several ways of
extending the season of perishable
garden vegetables of late years with
gratifying success, but old newspa-
pers and burlap sacks are my main
dependents. Newspapers are spread
over late bush beans, cucumbers, to-
mato vines, sweet peppers, eggplant,
etc. The burlap sacks are then
spread over the papers to hold them
in place and furnish additional pro-
lection. When these easily frosted
plants are saved from the first kill
ing frost, 1t is often quite easy to
prolong the bearing season of these
appetizing vegetables for month or
more to the great advantage of our
home table. The main requirement
is to save generous supply of news
papers and burlap sacks, then keep
tab on the weather man. Most of the
vegetables mentioned can remain cov-
cred for several days when cold
weather threatens, until the cold
wave passes"

LONDON, June 5.-Airmen return cd from the Zeebrugge raid state that considerable destruction was wrought in the construction docks of the Ger man submarine base which were on fire when the British airmen left after their raid of this morning.
 The ansh'ps returned to the English coast and later made tyip to Q j. tend where they dropped large q lan- titles of high explosives which caused considerable damage. These aviators state that fires have broken out in various sections of the Belgian city, probably started by the fire of the British battleship' squadron which in- fllcted severe blow on the city by their tremendous bombardment.

 The attacks were launched with the morning dawn and the British troops never wavered but faced tremend- ous fire and captured the positions fighting at close quarters.
