ALFALFA SEEDING IN
JEFFERSON COUNTY.

An estimate of 1000 acres has
been made as being seeded in Jeffer-
son County this spring. Some locali-
ties are seeding more than others.
The following recommendation
are offered again:
1. Use plenty lime, limestone or
mari for acidity. Generally 1900
pounds lime, or three tons mari is
advisable.
Use 800 pounds acid phosphate.
More is better.
2. Prepare good seed bed free
of weeds.
8. Inoculate your seed. Inocu-
lation may be present in the soil, but
with little glue and half gallon AL
falfa or sweet clover dirt the job can
be done at once.
4. Do not seed in wet ground or
soilwith rock close to the surface.
Mr.. Robert Browse has fine crop
of sweet clover back of his orchard.
This land has been lined strongly
with caustic and carbonate lime.
This crop is not much value as hay.
AS a soil building crop it hasen't an
equal. Sweet clover should have 8
tons roots and tops per acre, giving
so pounds nitrogen per ton or 200
pounds per acre, enough for 200
bushels corn.
On well lined land sweet clover
could be grown after the first wheat
crop an dplowed down for the fall
low wheat.

TNHE return of parties and fluffy eve
ming dresses has brought necessity for
a change of hair dressing. During the
war, when the quickest method of doing
everything was the method that ap
pealed to the greatest number of women,
it made very little difference what style
of hair dressing was used as long as the
hair was neat and out of the way. 1t
was so often hidden beneath khaki cap
or Emergency Aid Aides overseas cap
or canteen or Red Cross headdress that
very little of it showed at any rate.
Now, however, the uniform caps have
gone and many popular hats are the
ones that turn up sharply in back or at
the side, to show a gracefully waved roll
of hair. Evening parties, dances and
formal dinners are being revived, "
and the hair must be carefully dressed
to be in harmony with light evening
GOWN. Hair ornaments are becoming
very popular and are made in all sorts
of unusual shapes and colors.

Attractive Braided Rugs
From Old Silk Stockings

MOST attractive braided rugs for the
A'A summer bedroom can be made
with silk stockings too much worn to be
mended. Neatly rip the hem of the
stocking which will easily allow four
inches more in length. Now cut the
stocking in strips from hem to toe; one
and half inches wide or even wider If
you prefer a wider braid. Sew these
strips together, alternating different
colors, and wind into ball such as our
grandmothers used to make when pre-.
pairing carpet rags. Make three balls,
sew the thread ends together neatly and
attach with a pushpin to some perma-
nent woodwork or table. Start and
braid. Plat as you would hair, loosely.
After braiding one-half yard move the
pushpin closer to your hands, as it is
easier to keep the braid neater by hold
ing it firmly. When you have some
yards of this braid roll in ball. 1t will
require a good sized ball to make the
mat or rug. Start with the center il a
circular mat is wanted and sew the
edges neatly together. Keep sewing the
braid in circles around the widening
center. .
If an oblong mat is wanted STAR

Why Do They Do IL?

Dear Cynthia-Why is it that the
boys are SO anxious to kiss girl against
her own will? Would you not think
they would take the hint when you
showed signs of disagreement? But no,
they try it again and again. Why do
they insist upon this? Do not think
am backward. I. have been in society
all my life, and had no chance to become
backward.
Cynthia, it seems that it is generally
those that you dislike most, and es-
pecially those that are less educated. /
found this out from my own experience.
Many of my friends who 60 to college
ignore this. Is it because they are more
educated and have more etiquette?
Boys. I'll tell you, girls don't like this
kind of conduct. You can show that
you like her without that, but suppose
it is only one of your habits, and it is
about time you got over it.
+. V. H.
Why do you do it, boys? You should
learn when signs of disagreement are
shown that the girls don't want you
to. Why do you?

deep. Cover the top layer with
citron, nuts and raisins, pressing
them gently into the batter with the
back of a spoon. Cover the top of
the cake with two thicknesses of
paper. Bake two and one-half hours
in a slow oven, 300 degrees Fahr.
Test before removing from the
oven, by inserting, a clean broom
straw in the center of the dough.
If dough adheres to the straw, the
cake should be baked longer.
To ice: Use two coats of water
icing and one coat of Royal white
icing. Decorate with dragees and
candied roses and leaves which may
be bought at most candy and con-
fectionery shops.
Water Icing
Three pounds of xxx sugar,
One-half cup of cornstarch.
Sift three times and then add the
juice of one-half lemon and sufficient
boiling water to spread. Beat for
ten minutes to make the mixture
smooth. Keep covered with a cloth
rung from hot water, after applying
the first coat.
Royal White Icing
Whites of three eggs,
TaOo pounds of xxx sugar,
Juice of ome-half lemon.
Beat until glossy. If the eggs
are very large more sugar may be
required. This mixture must be just
thick enough to spread. Dip a
spatula in hot water and then shake
free from excess moisture and use
for spreadin. the icing.

with a strip foot long and then round
at the ends on the second row, which
will form the oblong shape. OF course,
one must pucker in little fullness in
sewing as each circle is wider from
the center than the preceding one. 1t
is a good plan to do this sewing on a
table where the work can be kept fiat,
as you may find that on doing it on your
lap the mat might be more the shape
of crown of hat than the fiat shape
desired.
If you have not enough silk stockings
ask your friends for theirs. They are
probably going to discard them. Black
stockings can be very well used in with
the colors as our grandmother rugs
had quantities of black rags in them.
Quite a fetching scheme could be
worked out in black and white for a
room where this combination has been
used on the walls or furniture cover

Dear Cynthia--Answering Twenty
one in June, would like to say she
did not draw very good comparison
between "The Clinging Vine" and the
ordinary clock. She said the clock sort
Of girl was tiresome; but, neverthe-
less, the world could not get along with
out clocks.
Twenty one in June. I am afraid you
misunderstood me little; but did not
mean to give the impression that al
ways choose a girl who never has an
opinion of her own. In fact, I keep
away from her. What I mean by a
girl who does not say "Where shall we
co." etc; / mean the one who says,
1--WE will go to this theatre or that show
tonight" If fellow is true gentle
man when he asks young lady to 60
out he always consults her tastes in
motion pictures and the like; but you
must admit that there are girls who use
fellows for nothing but good time.
They were the ones I meant, in
comparing them with "The Clinging
Vine" give me the latter always.
Miss Twenty -one in June, will you
try to answer me this: What do girls
mean by a regular fellow? If boy
is quiet, has a clean face and well kept
hands, does not smoke or chew and en- :
joys good music and the like, he is
dubbed sissy. On the other hand, If
he is loud dresser, wears spats, smokes
cigarettes, hangs around corners calling
after girls he is "no account" Please
tell me what you would call regular
fellow.

WHY DON'T GIRLS LOOK \.
AFTER FATHERS CLOTHES?
Many One, Smart and Dainty With the Things He Has
always Tried to Give Her, Is Bit ashamed Of DAD

THERE are many girls smart and
L clipper as. May morning who look
with mingled pity and scorn on their
shabby looking fathers. Poor, dear, old
dad, you have worked hard all your life
and your clothes, it must be acknowl-
edged, are beginning to show signs of
1t. There are spots on your blue serge
all up and down it., and there may have
been a crease one day in those trousers,
but to be very frank with you they are
very, very baggy now. And your ties,
father, or rather your tie! Bless your
heart, you don't care, do you?
You have worked so hard so long chat
somehow it would never occur to you
to sit up at night trying to take spots
out OF your clothes. And just how
many years ago was it you decided there
was no earthly way to pay the tailor's
bills that always came after you sent
your clothes to be pressed? That is, to
pay them and buy pretty clothes for the
girls at the same time.
Sometimes body wonders WHY the
sweet, dainty young person who spends
an hour in the kitchen at IL o'clock at
night ironing an organdie dress for the
next day doesn't have a thought for
father. His clothes have grown old
and shabby in the service of providing
for daughters whose demands never
cease. The least girl could do would
be to look after them. Many a wife
performs this duty, but on the other
hand, many a mother is equally busy as
father. She, too, like fathers blue
serge, has grown faded and shabby in
the service of her family. And when
you are tired clothes do not seem SO i'm
portant. ~ ''
At FIRST father will object to this
- invasion of his clothes closet.
Don't listen to him, girls. One has to
make father acquire taste for being
stylish. Devote Saturday afternoon
TO 1t. Many Saturday afternoon he
mas devoted to you. Take his clothes
out on the dine, get every bit of the
dust out, then sponge them and take
out the spots with some of the LIQUID
you cherish so carefully for the slight
smear that appears on your own dainty

Adventures With a Purse

TN ONE of Dorothea's s favorite books,
l. which she insisted on my reading and
for which I shall be everlastingly CRATE
full to her, there is a genuine, whole
some New England girl, with perfectly
delightful sense of humor. "a girl who
takes cold showers in the morning.
she says, in that dry, inimitable way,
always manages to work it into the
conversation" which may or may not
be true. But if she had one of the
lovely sprays I saw today, one could
hardly blame her for talking about it.
1t was a big generous bulb, which sends
the refreshing cool water stinging over
one, and in addison it has rubber
bristled massage brush, for massaging
the scalp of the skin. Complete it
is $3.50, and as they say in the ads
no bathroom is complete without one.
There are omelets, and omelets,
I will admit, but of one thing / am sure.
Never could more golden brown, light
s-air omelet be made than could be
cooked in the lovely pans l saw today.
They are. of course, of aluminium, fold
ing over like all self respecting omelet
pans do, and although valued at $1.75,
they have been repriced at $1.29
"What a duck Of a Dress" ex-
claimed involuntarily. 1t is a cookbook =
ing green and white checked voile. A
fichu of misty white organdie forms the
collar and finish TO the waist. and soft
frilly little organdie cuffs add a most
delightful touch. The skirt has de

the back. There are just one or two
of these dresses, one in lavender and
white and one in blue and white, and
they come only in small sizes, specially
