Perfumes Defy Laundries.

The Arabs around Alden love pow
erful perfumes and are highly skilled
in their preparation. Their favorite
is called "oodi." 1t is made from a
wood called "ood" and is so powerful
that when burned in incense-pots the
smoke will impregnate the garments
OF those present to such an extent that
the perfume will remain upon them for
days, even after they have been laun-
dered. They often mix "ood" with civ
ct. ambergris and musk, and thus per-
fume their clothes. The Germans tried
to sell their perfumes at Alden. but
failed. as the best they could do was
about 43 cents an ounce for perfume
not nearly so good as that which the
natives made for 8 cents.

Cedar Forest at Great Height.

In his book, "The Real Algeria" quot
ed in the Christian Science Monitor
NJ. D. Scott describes his journey
through cedar forest. 1.-THE program
was to cross the mountains through a
fine forest of cedars by the Col de
Telmet, at an altitude of 5000 feet,
Mr.. Scott says. II came across a most
curious piece of hillside. Bare rock
as steep and smooth as house roof
ran straight from the hilltop to the
bottom of the valley with strike of
some GO degrees. 1t shone like burn
ished silver in the bright sun. Never
have I seen anything of the kind so
beautiful. In various crevices were
perched cedar trees, sometimes with
rest so tiny that a miracle alone
held them apparently from sliding
down the chute"

COMPLETES ONE YEAR

The Middletown Cow Testing Asso-
citation completed is year February g.
1t has been a most successful year for
the Association and so far as know,
other than very few who expect to
alter their business, every member is
anxious that the Association start its
new year at once. We have noticed
from the Dairy Department of Wash
ington that every effort should be made
to organize more Cow Testing Associa-
tons in order that this enormous
demand for dairy products may be met.
Condensed milk, cheese and butter are
being sent across the water by the ship
load to feed our army in France, Ac-
cording to the last report of the U. S.
Dairy Department, there are 459 COW
testing Associationsin the United states.
A campaign is now on to double this
number. | believe | would he cOnser-
vative in saying that if every cow i
the county for the last two years hao
been tested N COW testing association,
our milk production would be increased
so per cent Ibelieve it is the
farmers patriotic duty to increase the
production of his herd by having his
cows tested in COW testing association.
There are enough good herds around
Middletown to have three or four Cow
Testing Associations.
The members of the Association in
the past year have made saving on
the feed bought in car load lots. Plans
are now being laid whereby the men,
bers of the Association can take greater
advantage of this. Feed will be bought
at car load rates thru one Of the Wild
dletown feed dealers. George L. Town
send recently stated to me that the AS
ISOLATION was worth $500 to him in sell
ing his cows 1t was worth equally as
much to the men who bought them be-
cause they know they bought good
cows Considering the number of high
class heards we have, our accessibility
to the largest cities and best markets
in the country and that we are now
laying plans to bring in several loads of
pure bred cattle from the West, GER
tainly New Castle County should soon
develop into dairy centre of note.
We all regret that Mr.. Stamen will
not he with US next year. l wish to
congratulate hi upon hi years work.
However. have given great deal of
time in the securing of another man
and am glad to say the a man from
the same school from which Mr.. Sta
men came will take charge of the Asso-
citation March first.
"A few Of our members have sold their
herds or have moved to another COM
munity during the year. These will be
replaced by new members,
Farmers in the vicinity of ''Iiddietown
who are interested in the Cow Testing
Association are urged to see Mr. Stamen

Betwixt dainty gloved thumb and

your maiden aunt used to hold her
Ice cream spoon in the dear dead
days of 1891. A mere human being
was bagging the contents of the mail
box at the corner, and she saw him.
"Oh, he can mail my letter! Heah
you are, letter carrier!" All this

Mr.. Burleson's coworker took the
honor respectfully enough, and the
rose-colored velvet f1oated blandly on.
A bystander, however, observed the
map of Donegal which served that par

to be distorted momentarily by a ire

the actual of conflict, he knows that he Is
big part of the world battle line. Upon his
productive efforts largely depend the supply
ing of the allied armed forces and populations
with food.
To the appeal, Food will win the war;" the
American farmer has responded with splendid
results. But of course that appeal has its quail
ihcatons One proviso is that food will go a
long way toward insuring victory If we have
plenty of ships to convey it where 1t is needed.
Great fleets Of ships have been or are being Gre
ated by the United States shipping board They
are being produced at record pace But to
carry out our vast necessary shipping program
with the fullest adequacy it is vital that the
earnest interest of every part of great coun-
try should be increasingly enlisted.
Far away from the seaboard as MANY of our
farms are, they are Joined with the ocean to a
degree they never were before. The ships sup
plement the plow and the harvester. Day and
night the farmer has been thinking of how he
could make his land productive 1t is a
subject that never leaves him. The fndica.
lions are that SO well has he thought it out thar
this years crop of winter wheat alone will be
154.0Oo000 bushels than last year's large
as that was. And this is only one part of the
immense crops coming from American farms
True, there Is always the gamble of weather CON-
ditions and the menace of insect eepredations
But the present promise is a high production
from farms
They know that big food supply is Of NJ
danger to them If we cannot get 1T across But
what does fill them with dread and forehod;no
Is the knowledge that are rapidly getting TO-
gether the ships that viii transport 1t over the
ocean to feed our troops and those of the allies
and the peoples of the countries banded to defeat
Hun aggression What will further make the
Huns quake is the fact that millions of farm.
ers are as determined TO support the program
for vast fleets of ships as they set upon rails
ing vast crops
The Hun submarine murder campaign was
undertaken with the express view of starving
out certain countries, and terrorizing the rest
IT aimed at destroying the ships that could
carry our supplies to Europe. 1t didn't succeed :
any more in that design than In the effort pre-
