IN THE INCHES


On the trenches the boys compare
the merits Of their mothers. 1t is a
wonderful thing that spirit of mother
love which surrounds us, blesses us
and leads us to higher things. We
gather together in the trenches and we
talk of mother mother-mother.
The lad whose mother cried and fain-
ted when he left quietly drops out.
He never shows his letters from home
because it is possible She, writes him
laments and meanings, But those of
us who have game courage of which
i've talk-how we boast Mother is q
mighty factor in the winning of this

THE A. B. c. SUPER-ELECTRIC
The saving in time and work is only
half of the real saving that an A. B.
C. Super-Electric brings. 1t saves
your clothes and linens. It is agreed
that rubbing clothes on wash board
produces the greatest amount of wear
that finally destroys them. 1t is not
wearing clothes that wears them out
its the rubbing, and this is all done
away with in an A. B. c. washer. The
correct way to wash any fabric is to
force the water through it and in that
way carry off the dirt. Try holding
a soiled handkerchief under faucet
and see how quickly the dirt disap-
pears. Clothes could be washed al
most indefinitely by the A. B. G. pro-
cess without injuring them. 1t is safe
to say that such articles as bed linen
and table linen will last twice as long
washed in a revolving cylinder ma
chine as they would if rubbed clean
each time they are soiled. With prices
of silks, linens and cottons what they
are today it behooves anyone to see to
it that they last as long as possible.

Appliances that will make useful and

STORY Of
A CROOK

Jack was a crook He had served
a term in the reformatory at Green
Bay. Not long after he was released
from there, he was arrested for burg
larry and was sentenced to Waupun.
At the prison he became well liked by
the officials and earned their respect
and confidence. Here he displayed
talent for drawing. The officials, de-
string to help develop Jacks ability,
secured the interest of an employer
who had a position in which Jacks
artistic ability could be developed.
A parole was secured and Jack was
given a chance to show his employer
and friends what was in him. He did
it He showed that he was still a
crook, But that is getting ahead of
the story. The new employer gave
Jack wage which everybody, includ-
ing Jack, said was sufficient and all
that was desirable. But to make sure

PRESERVATION OF SOFT CORN

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
Soft corn which has been stored in
large cribs during cold and freezing
weather, without specially improvised
ventilators, is practically certain to
get out Of condition as soon as the
weather warns up in the spring. To
preserve such corn farmers should
work it over, remove any damaged
ears, and put in ventilators.
The best way to dispose Of soft corn
is to feed on the farm all that can be

to feeding centers or to terminals for

Whenever practicable the drying
