VIII Give Closer Super
vision of Children Placed
In Foster Homes

Closer supervision of children
placed in foster homes in this state
will be observed during the current
year by the State Board of Educa-
tion in conjunction with the child
ren's Bureau. Investigation of the
position of children in the homes,
the kind of children, their antecl-
dents and the reason for placing
them in this state instead of in
the country in their own state, are
some of the inquiries to be made.
State Superintendent A. R. Spaid
will not accept bond from society
wishing to place children here un-
til thorough investigation has
been made.

GOES UP ION HIGH"
Wealthy Chinese Has Novel
Trip to the Next World

There was pretty custom
among some of the ancients when
prominent citizen died, to send
his valet along with him on the
road to Paradise, and it was often
times necessary to resort to eX-
treme methods to insure this COM
pany for the departed. But in the
territory of the China-American
Trading Company, Ford dealers in
Tientsin, China, they have discov-
cred a mu ch better aid to the de-
creased over the rough places on
the trip to the Promised Land.
1t is custom of the Chinese to
burn various. kinds of effigies at
the funeral ceremonies of the rich,
the more wealthy the departed the
more elaborate the figures burned
over his grave. These effigies rep
resent every manner of thing such
as human figures, horses, sedan
chairs, tables loaded with money,
etc. The figures usually conform
to some of these stereotyped fash
/ ions, but at. the funeral of Mr.
Ii, who died a short time ago in
Tientsin, and who was a very
wealthy man, the bereaved family
outdid themselves and made al
imitation of the deceased gentle
mans Ford car to be burned a
his grave.
This Ford efigy was made en-
tirely of strong Chinese pape
stretched on bamboo apd ree'
frames. The car was complete il
every detail, the pedals accuratel,
placed, and all made of paper an
bamboo. The interior of the ca
was also accurate in detail, bein
carefully upholstered in paper
The effigy of the driver as show
in the photograph, was a work Q
art. The car was carried abou
4 three miles through crowde
y streets to the graveside where
= match was applied and it was COZ
sumed in a few minutes.
This is the first time motor ca

in nine local papers. Nearly all
fruit was sold at the farm. In
this way l sold S9,511.24 worth Of
apples at a cost for advertising of
only S2O1.63 or 81 per cent of the

lest 5 per cent to have hauled
them to town not counting the
time away from the work of the
farm.
"Some of my advertising has
seemingly fallen fiat. Some of it

lately. All of it has helped to
build up reputation for my farm.
In one instance an advertisement

me a customer a year later, who
told me this ad had brought him.
He came from 20 miles away and
since that time has purchased

worth of fruit. ."-Montreal Family

Canadian Farmers Says
advertising Pays"

Does advertising pay the farm
er? Judiciously done it decidedly
does. Read what Frank Pyle
says:
"The question is best answered
by giving the results of some of
my campaigns. This year | had
three hundred crates of cherries
on the trees. When they were
ready to be picked | ran four
and one-half inch advertisement
in the country paper. Within
three days after the ad appeared
there was not a cherry left on the
trees and / had $924.36 in my
pocket for my share of the crop.
"The advertising cost only $4.25
and the total cost to me was only
$83.06. 1t would be hard to esti-
mate the cost of hiring the cher
ries picked, hauling them to town
and other expenses of selling that
way. | doubt if | could have OBJ
tanned enough help to pick them.

Tribune Tells What
Women Shall Wear

r. is easy enough to decide what
to wear when the statistics and
the experts agree. But what to
do when DR.. Copeland says one
thing and the mortality statistics
say another! There is the rub and
we gladly yield our conclusions
touching the vexed and cosmlc
problem raised.
Briefly, our advice is to wear
exactly what you wish to wear,
whether that happens to agree with
DR.. Copeland or the statistics. we
say this all the more readily be-
, cause of the obvious fact that this
is exactly what women always have
done and always will do. But
there are some observations and a
trace of science behind our dictum
at that.
When DR.. Copeland spoke so
trifingly of nothing mattering,
whether highness of heels or tight
ness of corsets he neglected to de-
fine his terms. What is a higE
heel? And when does lacing be
come tight? AS a matter of fact
there has been a decided change
of standards in the past generation
in the direction Of lower heels ant

ments conducted to demonstrate
the practicability and value of the
earlier planting of corn. By much
earlier than normal planting it has
been found that larger varieties
can be profitably grown for ensil-
age in northern localities with
much better yields than can be had
from the smaller native varieties
planted at the usual date.
In the South, by planting small
short-season varieties earlier than
normal, much earlier maturity can
be secured, affording a supply of
corn for very early feeding. Many
rather soft varieties that rot badly
when planted late produce sound
corn when planted early in south
ern localities" The planting of
short and long season varieties in
alternate rows has increased yields
where moisture is a limiting fac
! tor.
Varieties differ, it has been
found, in their ability to adapt
themselves and their grain produc-
tion to varying stands. Prolific
Varieties, when given increased
space, have shown ability to in,
crease their grain production much
more satisfactorily than have the
single ear varieties, because Of
their ability to make up for def
cheney in stand.

Early Planting Best For

Earlier planting of large, pro-

the normal planting of early ma

Of Plant Industry, United States

sion. by direction of J. n. Maekall
chairman. has ssked for bids for the
Improvement of a section of the high
way between Owensville and Shady
Side. The dist nee to be covered Is
given in the request for bids as six
miles. and the work to be done viii be
gravel. Contractors will be requested
10 give bond for this work, as assur-
ance that it will be satisf ctorily com
pleted. and, as in other similar cases
the work must be done according to
specifications of the Roads Commis-
sion.
The ro which it is contemplated
10 improve is one of the most used in
the lower part of the county and the
amount of travel over it is reg rded
as warranting its improvement before
that of some other sections upon
which work has been requested. II
