NOTES FROM HOME
DEMONSTRATION AGENT

The members of the Junior Home
makers Club of Girdlctrcc had an
outing at kcnnard'S Landing on
Thursday Everyone present enjoyed
the sports OF the day and the delight
full supper spread by the girls
In recent letter from the depart
ment the following extracts were
taken from letter written by Mr.
Ralph A. FELTON,, Educational Sccre-
tary Of the Department of Rural
Work of the Methodist Episcopal
Church:
In our school for rural pastors
this summer. we have had nearly two
thousand men in regular attendance.
The men have been especially inter
cstcd in the general subject of Home
Economics; therefore this letter to
you"
"ln our church there are over ten
thousand Ladies Aid Societies with y
probable average attendance of 2O0.-
900 women every two weeks. The
aid" in the past has been a money
raising institution. Stewardship and
tithing have been stressed so much
during our Centenary Program that
in most cases the aid" is not needed
any longer to raise money. There is
a feeling that it should turn its at
tcntion to Home and Community
Bctterment."
The Home Demonstration Agent
would be glad to cooperate with any
Society in communities where they
would like to run program on topic
suggested above.

Some surprising statistics We're puo-

Australian eats.
To judge from these figures he has
the best appetite, IL not tn" best di-

He eats every year 264 pounds Of
meat, which works out at an average
Of two sheep and one-fifth Of a bullock
for every man, woman and baby in
Australasia He eats more than twice
as much meat as the average English
man. and three times as much as the
average Frenchman. and four times as

In addition. he consumes about
three and three-quarter hundred

/ To bring about the most effective
cooperation between the federal and
state governments in the big program
OF highway construction now under
way. A. n. Hirst. president of the
American Association of State High

quest Of the secretary Of agriculture.
committee TO act with the depart

Following are the state represents

state superintendent of highways of
Illinois; Charles j. Bennett, state

the states have provided by large |

much larger than will be required 10 |

Up to May of this year, 1867 prof

had been approved by the secretary of
agriculture. They involve the improve
nent of 105S0 miles of roads at an
cost of 500, 1888, 12181, of
which the federal aid requested was
536,576,S57.4S. The amount of federal

building was more than S72.90O,000,
which, under the law must be match-

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, ell at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited. to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
preparation | have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large
sale."
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
nsed the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments: corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

CONTRIBUTIONS
 STILL NEEDED TO
 GET DESIRED SUM

Unless Bridgeport responds gener- ously today and tomrrow to the ap- peal for funds to help the starving, shelterless orphans in Poland, there is small chance that the local quota of $15, 5,00O will be raised, judging from the to the fund. A contribution, no mat reports which have been submitted by the Canvassers for the past two days. Only SIP was raised yesterday by the various team workers, making the to- tai received up to last night $6,371.
 The officials and workers in the drive are bending every effort to put the drive over the top, but they are helpless without the aid of the public. Dr. BrOnislaw L. Snykowsh issued final appeal to every Bridgeporter last night to make some contributions ter how small, will help to save one or more lives of those unfortunates who are dependent upon charity.
 Herbert Hoover, chairman of the American Administration European ChiIdren's fund, in a letter to Dr. Smykowski yesterday included the following paragraph: q am very glad indeed that the people OF Bridgeport are attempting to raise funds for the relief of children in Poland and that you propose to CO., operate with the A. R. A. B. c. fund in this much-needed work. feel sure that the Bridgeport people will succeed in raising substantial amounts to help carry along this very extensive and desperately need ed charity"

dustriaI disputes and may expect other similar assignments, he would be open to the charge of seeking to evade his duty as a soldier if he should resign his commission now. There Is said to be considerable diff ference of opinion regarding this po- sition among his leading supporters.
 After Ohio Delegates.
 General Wood has told a number of friends that he did not intend to resign unless nominated. It is be- lieved, however. that he might be prevailed upon to resign some time next spring, perhaps a month or two before the national convention, par ticularly if the industrial situation should become less acute.
 Even if he should persist in his in- tenti0n to for4go his present advant- age in South Dakota. some of his friends wish to have him out of the army before the primary elections in some of the important states.
 The Wood adh herents in Ohio, con- sidcring the forty-eight votes from that State well worth fighting for.
 Although friends of Senator War Ten G. Harding have announced that he will be a. candidate, General Woods supporters do not consider this candidacy genuine, and for that reason feel free to abandon the usual rule Of political courtesy of not n1ak- ing a fight in a candidates own state.
 Senator Harding some time ago stated that he would not be a can didate for President, but preferred to seek reelection to the Senate. Gen. eraI Woods friends believe that the renewal of his candidacy for Presi- dent was brought about for the pur- pose of holding the Ohio delegates away from General Wood.
