Cyrus Sulham, II. i. Gray, j. NJ. Remit
lard Mr.. Coullien, Edna Gosfant, q. ID.
Ormsby and Gladys johnson, whose tes-
timony was largely as to the position of
the two ears in the road. They claimed
that the Goslant automobile was on its

moved between the time of the accident
and taking of the picture. Their evidence
was presented in contradiction TO that
presented by the plaintiffs witnesses
relative to the position of his automo

that the Tyrell car did not occupy the
portion of the road it has been claimed
by the plaintiffs witnesses that il did.

field VS.. jefferson Savery estate has been
entered in county court. This is an APP
peal from the decision as to claim for

SEEK FOOD ECONOMY
IN FOOD EXHIBITS

How to teach the newer ways of
preparing foods without wasting food
through exhibits or even without ex-
hibits entirely is the problem the
Food Administration is asking to have
solved The county fairs are now ar
ranging their premium lists, and any
suggestions for teaching without the
use of exhibits will be gladly received
now. In many of the counties, the
food demonstration is sold at auction
and the proceeds given to the Red
Cross. This serves a threefold pur-
pose: the food exhibited should ocn-
vince the people that the products are
desirable; the food is not wasted but is
used legitimately in feeding people; it
furnishes money for the Red Cross.

Save Butterfat in Whey.

"Butterfat is worth $500 to $1,000 a

writes to us, "and to permit it to be
left in the whey and fed to hogs or
other farm animals is extravaganza
when it can be recovered SO easily by
the separation of the whey. In num-
her of cheese factories in the state it
is being separated and our own factory
is installing machinery now"
