newal or return is made. No credit
will be given at the completion Of q
correspondence course until the books
are returned and fines, if any, are
paid,
Books lent to non residents, not in

Conservation and cooperation are
the slogans Of the day. Please help

Red Hen-Red Euu,

Adolph Forsberg Of Avon Is the
owner Of large flock Of hens, among
them being several Rhode Island reds.
A few days ago he went into the hem
house to gather in whatever eggs he
might find. One Of these was a red
egg which he assumes was laid by a
red hen. He showed this egg to a
number of friends. They were scepti-
cal, and tried to scrape OF what they
thought might be red paint, but It
would not come OF. Mr.. Forsberg In
sisted that the egg is Just as 1t was
deposited in a nest by a domesticated
hen.
He can suggest no reason for the
phenomena other than that some Of
his hens had feasted on the remains
of strawberry bed. and that some
were now engaged In devouring his
raspberries.-Boston Herald.

Housework is made worthwhile by
this neat apron Of striped percale.
1t is accompanied by a cap Of the
same material. Plain gingham is used
to trim the design. The rundown
collar finishes a neck cut in round out
line, while the short sleeves are cut
in one with the body. A straight belt
holds in the fulness of the waist line.
In medium size the design requires
b& yards of 36-inch material, with
Y yard of gingham in plain color. Be-
fore cutting the apron, take two
widths Of the gingham and place
them on the sewing table, right sides
facing, in open width. Place the apron
into position first, as shown in the cut
ting guide, then above it lay the
brim Of the hat, toward the left, and
the belt, each on lengthwise thread
of the material. The pocket piecing
for the back is to the right Of it.
The remaining gingham is now fold
ed in half and the back Of the apron
placed on the lengthwise fold, thus
avoiding seam: The material
should be folded in quarters to cut
the crown of the hat and the collar,
following the arrangement on the cut
ting guide.
If made without cap and collar and
cuffs, the apron requires only 4H
yard Of 36-inch gingham.

ability to get the foodstuffs from the

Grandfather's Ways Only Edifying. =
There are those who think that good
loads are luxury because their grand
fathers did not have them. They forget
that their grandfathers did not have to
feed 10O,O00,000 American mouths, not
to mention a lot of hungry ones among
the 46,O0O,OOO people of Great Britain
and Ireland and the 40 900 900 of France.
All grandfather had to do was to sup
ply food for 23O0O,O00 persons His
ways are edifying to read about, but
worthless to copy now. Why hamper the
farmer who is working from dawn TO
dusk to help win the war by making
him try to haul our food supplies over
roads that grandfather knew very well
were wretched?
There are many roads Of general i'm
portance to the public which are great

to make them serviceabe as arteries
for the delivery Of farm products to
market. The railways are so congest-
I'd that they cannot haul these products

these roads was planned last year but
the work is delayed by the inability Of
railways to deliver materials. II is rea.

such improvement viii be of general

NEED GOOD ROADS
TO UTILIZE CROPS
IMPROVED HIGHWAYS NECESSARY
TO MARKET INCREASED PROD
UCTS OF FARMS.

Washington, July 2S.-Before year
has passed nearly 100000 men now
engaged in productive occupations will
be called to the colors in the war for
humanity and decency. About fourth
of this number will probably be drawn
from agricultural pursuits, cattle rails
ing and the like. This will put strain
on our farmers who have been urged
to do everything in their power to make
their lands yield the maximum possible
return.
Farmers have responded nobly to the
nations call for all the food they can
produce, but of what use is II to pro-
duce food supplies if they cannot be de.
livered at market? Corn that stays in
the farmers cribs, as II was held for
months during last winter in many
parts Of the corn belt, does nobody any
good. Wheat that stays on the farms
Of Kansas, as 1t stayed last winter
helps only the rats. What is the sense
of railroads cutting didos with the trans
portation system Of the country If the
feeders of the railroads-our public
roads to shipping points-are to be neg
lected, so that the good work Of the
