OF
HOME DESIRABLE
Every Housewife Can Easily
Learn Proper Way to
Do Things

A house well managed becomes a
home, a place of comfort and cheer.
The housewife who understands the
scientific management OF her home is
not slave to her duties, but has
plenty of time for recreation and for
the following of any pursuits in
which she may be interested.
To have place for everything and
particular time each day for the
performing of certain tasks lessons
the work and the time required for
its completion. Every housewife can
acquire the knowledge necessary to
successfully manage her household
along scientific and economical lines
If she will but devote a few minutes
each day to the study of home man
agement.
The Lincoln Correspondence Schools
course in home management, which
is one of the six practicable courses
now being offered its subscribers by
this paper, full particulars of which
will be found elsewhere in this
edition, teaches the scientific man
agement and care of every accessory
in the home-the planning of each
room, the proper arrangement of
furniture required to give character,
expression and individuality to the
home, the decoration OF walls, what
to use and what not to use. the color
schemes and choice of draperies.
The lessons are most practicable
and deal with the essential everyday
details of successful housekeeping.
They teach economy without sacri-
fee of home comfort or loss of
efficiency. 1t does not require so
much money to make a room COM
Portable and attractive if you know
how to arrange it, and work is
neither half so long nor so hard if
you know how to do 1t.

an evening auto drive, and Smith
dutifully telephoned Maxwell, the
railroad superintendent. and borrow
ed a runabout.
Smith drove the borrowed rum
about in sober silence. and the glor-
ious beauty in the seat beside him
did not try to make him talk. Per-
haps she, too, was busy with thoughts
of her own. At all events, when
Smith had helped her out of the car
at the hotel entrance and had seen
her as far as the elevator, she thank
ed him half absently and took his
excuse. that he must return the run
about to MaXwell's garage, without
laying any further commands upon
him.
Just as he was turning away bell
boy came across from the clerks
desk with a telegram for Miss Rich
lander. Smith had no excuse for lin
gering, but with the air thick with
threats he made the tipping of the
boy answer for momentary stop
gap Miss Verda tore the envelope
open and read the inclosure with a
fine-lined little frown coming and 60
ing between her eyes.
It's from Tucker Jibbey," she said
glanCing up at Smith. Someone has
told him where we are, and he is fol-
lowing us. He says hell be here on
the evening train. Will you meet him
and tell him I've gone to bed?"
At the mention of Jibbey. the
money-spoiled son of the man who
stood next to Josiah Rinchlander IN
the credit ratings. and Lawrence
ville's best imitation of a fnancier,
Smiths first emotion was one of re-
lief at the thought that Jibbey would
at least divide time with him in the
entertainment of the bored beauty;
then he remembered that Jibbey had
once considered him a rival, and that
the sham FOUNDERS" presence in
Brewster would constitute a menace
more threatening than all the others
put together.
II can't meet Tucker" he said
bluntly. You know very we'll I
can't"
That's So" was the quiet reply.

Before I could answer my COM
panion's question there was a blind
ing flash of lightning and another
clap of thunder. The wind increased
with such violence that it almost
took my breath away.

Someone was hurrying along the

seized my arm as gust of rain
struck us in our faces and ran with
me to the steps at the top of which
my employer stood.

Norton exploded What does this
mean? Where have you been?"
He carried an electric torch, and
as he flashed it upon us I was pain

CHEWED Up EACH YEAR

Loud and long are the complaints
of the stringency of the times and
the walls concerning the tightness of
money; but these laments are not
coming from the manufacturers of
chewing gum. Neither the war nor
any other calamity has affected the
output of this great necessity, says
the Popular Science Monthly. The
annual imports of chewing gum
average about 100000 popnds, al
though in 1918 the average reached
nearly 100000 pounds. Thus it is
estimated that $1S,000,000 are chew
ed up annually.

Departments Issues Tips
on Fighting Farm Pests

A number of insects have a fond
ness for muskmelon vines now, says
to-day's bulletin from the National
Emergency Food Garden Commits
sion, and usually the gardener must
fight them to secure a good crop.
The aphides, or plant lice, are the
most ruinous muskmelon pests. If
the vines are allowed to become
badly infested with these bugs they
cannot be saved. The only thing to
do is to pull the vines and burn
them.
Aphides are sucking insects; there
fcre the nicotine sulphate spray
should be used to kill them. If ap-
piled before the lice gain a head
way you can eXterlnInate them. If
one good application does not de-
stroy all the aphides, repeat when
ever necessary. Aphides can readily
be detected by the crumpled appear
ance of the plant leaves.
Beetles common to the cucumb Der
vines are also found on muskm elons.
The striped beetle, the spotted Gu
cumber bettle, and the flea bettle are
combated in the identical way. Ar
senate of lead spray mixed in with
bordeaux mixture is effective against
all these bugs. This mixture can be
sprayed on your vines as a preven-
tive to bug invasion, or as soon as
! the bugs appear.
Tobacco dust will also kill BEETLES.
If the first application does not de-
stroy them, a second one can be ap-
piled in ten days without injury to
the plants.
The squash vine borer-a worm
which bores into the vine at the sur
face of the grounds hard to kill
out. Cut the stem lengthwise to re-
move the borer. Be sure to kill
these worms. Throw earth over the
vines every few feet so that new
roots may form on the vines.
Muskmelons are subject to the
two most common diseases of the
vegetable garden-leaf blight and
anthracnose. Leaf blight shows
small dark spots on the leaves and
can be cured with spraying of bor-
deaux.. Dark spots on the leaves
with long. light brown spots on the
melons themselves tell the presence
of anthracnose. Use the bordeaux
spray for this also and repeat the
application every two weeks while
the disease remains.
WHY NOT ALL DRESS ALIKE?
Why not a civilian uniform as a
measure of economy in clothing?
suggests a Canton, Ohio. man. It
could be worn by everyone, man.
woman and child. and thus elimi-
nate foolish dressing, the dude, and
the spending of hundreds of thou
sands of dollars on needless finery.
1t would certainly bring home to the
civilian population their part in the
war. and the ladies would need to
apologize no longer for appearing
twice in the same dress. AS the re-
suit of investigation carried on by
the Ohio man, a standardized suit of
wool of excellent quality could be
sold for less than twenty dollars

Fashions of To-Day BY May Manton

NF course you will like
this dress because it shows
the barrel effect without
exaggeration. 1t is of the sim
pie one-piece sort that is easy
to adjust and it gives very
smart lines. If you want it for
afternoon occasions, you can
copy it in silk, taffeta or char
meuse or pongee. If you want
it for morning, you can copy
it in linen or in handkerchief
lawn or in gingham and the
ginghams are exceedingly smart
this season. For afternoon
wear, some women will like
the bell-shaped sleeves, and they
are very pretty as we'll as very
fashionable. Here, one material
is used throughout but still
different effect could be obtained
by making the lower part of the
skirt and the trimming of a
striped material and the blouse
and upper part of the skirt of
a plain one, or, you could use
gingham for the blouse part of
the skirt, the collar and cuffs
and voile to match the pre-
dominating color for blouse and
upper portion of skirt.
For the medium size will be
needed, AZ yards of material
IS inches wide with 3s yard sc
for the trimming.

in sizes from "a to "A inches

+. :
June 18 to rs

CECOND in the work of
~ winning the Worlds
War comes our Red Cross.
Indeed the Importance of this
work is SO great that the
President of the United States
has set apart this week of
June 18th to the 18th, as a
period for sacrifice and un-
selfish generosity. He has
also commissioned several of
the ablest businessmen of the
country as a war council for
the Red Cross to administer
this service on behalf of a
stricken world. .
This war council tells us
that a fund of $100,000,000
must be raised at once
throughout the United States
in order to meet the most
urgent needs.
Harrisburg is asked to con-
tribute 100000 toward this
enormous and worthy fund
and we feel certain that the
amount will be forthcoming.
Here indeed, is a summons to
every citizen of Harrisburg to
do their part in helping to
raise this amount. While, it is
true, it is a large sum of
money for Harrisburg to
raise, VIII at com tort
would we have in withhold
ing that or any other sum of
money if it is needed to re-
lieve the suffering of our sons
or the sons of our allies, who
are fighting for all that makes
life worth living.
Be a Backer - Do not be a
STACKER of the Red Cross
and when the committee calls
on you on either Thursday,
Friday or Saturday of this
week, give and give as gener-
ously as you possibly can.

A Firemen was killed in San
Francisco the other day because
the boasted inventiveness of the
American people has not been able
to find, or has not put into use, an
efficient substitute for the mdrder
Gus sliding pole. The root of the
matter appears to be that the pub
lie mind still holds property as Of
greater value than human life and
limbs. If FIRE stations were so con
structed that injury to apparatus
were as frequent as are the injuries
to fremen caused by the sliding
pole, it is quite certain that some
means of remedying the troGble
would promptly be found
How true this is may be seen
from the outcry that follows an ac-
cident that results in damage to
motor apparatus. At once there is
a demand for restricted speed limits
on the entirely false notion that
low speed minimizes the possibility
Of accidents. But the sliding pole
