Firestens Company Service station
In Fargo Declares Climax Attain
ed by Possessor Of Phony Limb.

No this, not an ad. q fairy tale or
a reporters dream, but q true story.
Firestone service reached climax
here today at the local once Of the
Firestone Rubber and Tire Co., when
a gentleman with an artificial leg ap-
piled for permission to use the Fire
stone free air service in pumping up
his phony limb.
While the men in the service de-
partment never had any previous ex-
perience in pumping up artificial
limbs, they hoped to it with will
and so we'll did they do their work
that the old gentleman was well
satisfied and avowed that he would
come back for more when the present
supply was exhausted.
J. p. Hennessey, local ONCE man
ager of the company. asserts that his
office is a regular information bur
eau, but that is what it's there for,
he says.

Hope For Great Interest.
1T is hoped that as the posi-
bilities Of work with women are
shown in these DISTRICTS, a sum
Gent demand for the services of
trained woman will be developed so
that a woman may be assigned as
a home demonstration agent to
a individual county" said Professor
Cooper. This woman will give her
entire attention to the woman's prob
lens in that county. When this be-
comes possible the larger proportion
of the salary and expenses will be
contributed by funds supplied by the
federal government"
Director Cooper says attention will
also be given to the women OF the
cities and that a circuit will be
formed, comprising the following
cities: Williston, Minot, Devils Lake.
Grand Forks. Fargo, Valley City,
jamestown, Bismarck. Mandan and
Dickinson. Miss Julia Newton Of the
home economics extension depart
month In each Of the cities named.
Study classes and groups will be
formed to give consideration to the
various problems OF the home and
methods Of food use.
The general plan of work COM
prising counties and cities will en-
able the agricultural extension de-
partment to get in closer touch with
all communities desiring assistance
of that special character" said
Director Cooper. This represents
the first step in home economics
work toward the establishment, CO.
operatively with counties, of women
as home demonstration agents. who
will carry on work with women
similar TO that which the
county agent carries on with the
farmers Of the county,.

1T is not an uncommon occurrence
to have people stop in our once and
ask what time trains leave, the con-

going to end, asserted Mr.. Hennes-
sey.
Last week a lady wanted to know
IL we could fix her umbrella, and on
another occasion a gentleman called
in and confidentiaIly inquired IL we
could advise him when the boys
would leave for France.
The climax, however, was reached.
Hennessey asserted when the gen.
tleman asked for a refiIling OF air on
his artificial limb and from now on
the ONCE force will be expecting
anything.
