A neighborhood story down Lisbon
way has to do with Q father who. one
evening when his three small daugh-
ters were having too much fun jump
ing about and playing In their beds,
went to the bottom Of the stairs and
threatened to spank them II they didn't
become quiet. The girls remained
quiet for a few minutes, then the fun
broke out again. After this perform
ance had been repeated several times
the father went upstairs to carry. out
his promise. Without taking the trou-
BILE to light lamp father administered
three spankings and went back down
stairs. Next morning the eldest Of
the girls complained bitterly. Il don't
see why you spanked me twice." she
said. II didn't" the father replied.

PREPARE LAND FOR ALFALFA
One Of the Best Ways to Get Moisture
and WeII-Packed Soil 10 by
Disking and Rolling.

Fall seeding of alfalfa requires
moisture and a soil which is well pack
ed. One of the best ways Of getting
such condition is to disk the ground
as soon as oats or small grain is taken
off, then plow 1t and pack 1t thorough
ly by narrowing 1t or rolling. Soil
which has been In a cultivated crop
and removed early, such as early po-
tatoes. makes good ground for fall
seeding. On ground Of this kind
thorough disking and narrowing will
often put it in good shape for alfalfa.
On many Of our types of soil alfalfa
will do better IL limestone is applied.
This limestone should be applied after
the ground has been plowed and then
narrowed in to give best results.

SWINE FOR WINTER MARKETS
Corn Alone 10 Liable to causs
Ioss Of Animals.

Hogs for the early winter markets
should be carefully fed. The tempta-
tion to fatten quickly on corn alone
is liable to cause the careless farmer
the loss Of one or more animals. A
better and a safer feed is wheat mid
dlings and wheat bran made into a
thick slop. Give a feed Of this just
what the hogs will eat up clean twice
a day, then give a moderate feed Of
corn.
Keep a plentiful supply Of fresh,
clean water In the pens. See that the
trough is clean. Have clean, dry pens
and yards. Dust the pens once a week
with air-slacked lime.

OBSTINATE MAN A WEAKLINa

In the course of an article on
"Where We Get Our Moods" in Peo-

says:

clumsiness at sports, or poverty may
make a child feel himself inferior to
other children. Alfred Adler, who has
studied the subject thoroughly. holds
that the inferiority of physical organ
like the heart or lungs or eyes has a
direct influence in determining the
personality.
Long after the original defect has
vanished Its effect upon the individual
remains. sometimes to the detriment
of his business relations. A man may
all his life strive to equal some boyish
rival whom he has in reality long sur
passed. There are two methods Of
doing this. One is the logical way
of an ambitious attack on life. As
an individual gradually accumulates
prestige and financial security he Sc
cures ease from the goading sense OF
inadequacy. In this way 1t may act
as a spur. The other method Is the
unsatisfactory one Of overcompensa-
ton. just as Whipple was obstinate In
manhood because he couldn't hold his
own in childhood. Here 1t Is an OBJ
struction.

this viewpoint, merely little boy

man fitting back in his office chair

SIZE OF LITTER INCREASED
Popular Belief eubstantiatsd That
Young Mothers Produce Smaller
Piss-varlation In Length
Of termination Period.

A careful study of records relating
to the birth Of 72O litters of pigs at
the University of Illinois reveals many
sidelights for those interested in hog
raising. The 72O litters contained
$40 pigs Of seven distinct breeds.
The following conclusions are drawn
in bulletin No. 228 of the University
of Illinois agricultural experiment sta
tion.
On the whole. the belief that young
sows produce smaller pigs than do
older sows Is substantiated. Likewise
the data substantiated popular belief
that up to certain age. about three
years. there Is an increase in the
size of litter as sows grow older.
The older sows farrowed 1928 per
cent Of dead or immature pigs as COM
pared to 81 per cent by the younger
sows.
1t is doubtful whether there are any
variations in farrow attributable 30
the season at which pigs are farrowed.
Increase In Litter.
In succeeding litters from the same
SOW there was an increase in number
of pigs per litter and In the weight Of
individual pigs until the fourth litter,
at which time the sows were three
and one-half years old.
The records obtained from $40 lit

CLUB GIRLS TAUGHT
TO PREPARE SUPPER
Each Member Is Assigned Certain
Part of the Meal.
Constructive Criticism Found to BE
Valuable In Making Each Repast a
Little Bit Better Than the
Preceding One.

To make sure that the girls in the
home-making clubs, supervised by the
United States department of agricnl-
ture and the Connecticut State Agri-
cultural college, are able to put to
practical use what they have learned
In the clubs about buying, cooking and
serving food, their leaders have organ
lied supper clubs"
These clubs meet twice a month at
the local leaders home. At the first
meeting Of the month a weil-balanced
meal Is planned with the help of the
leader. Each girl is assigned certain
part Of the meal, for which she Is re-
sponsible.
At the second meeting she brings the
material and prepares, cooks and
serves her part of the supper. Adults
are asked to these suppers. and the in
vitations are highly priced. The usual
menu consists of meat, potatoes, one
vegetable. hot bread. sometimes salad.
dessert. and a hot drink. SO far the
average cost per person served has
been "a to 20 cents.
After the meal the club girls meet
In group and discuss and criticize
the various articles on the menu and
the serving. This constructive criti-
cism has been found to be very valu
able in making each supper a little
better in every way than the preceding
one.

POTATO DISEASE EXPLAINED
so-caIled Blight Due to Tip-eurn or
Small Insect Known a. the
leaf-Hopper.

Much Of TIE so-called potato blight
which is to be found is due to what Is
really tip-burn, or 1t may be due to
small insect known as the leaf-hopper.
The tip-burn Is caused by the dry
weather and extreme heat as the sun
and wind draw the water from the
plant faster than the roots can supply
1t from the ground. The leaf-hopper is
a small, greenist~like insect, which
will be found jumping from one plant
to another as the plants are moved.

HOUSEWIFE OF TODAY
KEEPSFOOD ACCOUNT
She is Checking Up Weights and
Measures of Products.
Decreased Buying Power Of Dollar
Makes Her Think and Avoid All
Kinds of Waste-Lessens Prices
In Many Ways.

The modern housewife is becoming
expert in buying. She Is reading the
labels, in accordance with the sugges-
,ssion made by the United States de-
partment Of agriculture, and checking
up the weights and measures Of the
food products she buys. She has
learned when to buy in quantity and
when in small amount, and when 1t is
more economical to buy in bulk than in
package. Many have compared the
cost Of making bread at home and Of
buying 1t and are choosing the way
that is best for them.
The lessened buying power Of the
dollar has made her think and avoid
all kinds of waste. The family must
be kept well nourished, but the wife
and mother should not provide more
food than is needed. She must know
what kind Of food will all her market
basket to the best advantage. Along
with this knowledge is that OF how
much Of the family food should come
from each food group and how far 1t
Is wise to save money by using more
food from the less expensive groups.
The housewife Of today is keeping a
food account and checks up her weekly
buying by the plan she has made.
If she wishes to try to lessen prices
for everybody here are some of the
ways she is going at it: By producing
food at home by using local products;
BY choosing food that is plentiful in
the markets; by lessening her use of
such foods as are scarce; by co-opera-
tive buying; and by using the parcel
post.

FAIRBANKS SAYS MANY WILL COME
 WITH BALL TEAM

The people of Fairbanks are en- thusiastic over the baseball excur- sion to Nenana on the afternoon of July third. and the indications are that there will be large number of people aboard the excursion train when it reaches North Nenana.
 Definite arrangements have been made by Manager Beam for the use of a special train for the trip. The only point undecided is whether the ball team will charter the train out right or let the commission conduct the excursion. charging a low-price round-trip fare.
 Manager Joe Fischer received a telegram from Managar Beam yes terday, stating that the train would leave Fairbanks at three o'clock on July third. The first game with Ne mana will be played on Saturday evening and the second on Sunday. Both teams will leave for the upper town Sunday night and the third game of the series will be played in Fairbanks on Monday.

BOILER CLEANED, ENGINE RETURNS ID ROAD REPAIR

Boiler washing operations having been concluded today, the Tanana Valley train crew, engaged in bal lasting work along the line south of the steam-shovel camp, left North Nenana this afternoon with their locomotive and will be ready to re- sume ballasting in the morning.
 Ballasting operations are in prog ress both north and south of the |steam-shovel camp at Mile 432. and the work is moving as fast as the ,dirt can be carted over the shaky roadbed One of the work trains is engaged at present in filling a swamp at Mile 41S-a bottomless swamp. the men call it-and an- other is distributing dirt along the iline to the north of the shovel camp, as far as Mile 44O.
 1 The swamp at AIS is a particu- larly bad place and large amount of filling material will be needed to give stability to the grade The dirt that is being used for that purpose seems to disappear nearly as fast as lit is dumped from the cars. There are a number of other soft spots between the swamp and the shovel camp. but none. perhaps. so greatly 1 in need of attention.
 The dirt thus far encountered by l the steam-shovel appears to contain very little gravel, but it is believed that more suitable ballast will be | found farther into the cut where ! the shovel is working. In fact. a little gravel is showing up now, ac- cording to reports received in town l
 during the past day or two.
 The Goldstream grade appears to 1 be holding up better than was an- ticipated, although it is none too safe for traffic, and will not be un- til considerable more ballasting work has been done. That the road is
 passable at all is attributed to dry Iweather Under less arid conditions, lit is Claimed, the grade would have run back into the ditches whence lit came originally.
 On days when there is no trouble Ialong the line, upwards of 100 cars iof dirt and more are deposited in
 the swamp, but derailments and oth.
 CT accidents are keeping the av.
 craze down. and the work is also
 Handicapped by shortable of labor

 I A spur has been constructed a, 432, for the use of the commission
 sawmill, and cars are now loaded
 with lumber at the mill, instead of requiring the use of wagons between
 the mill and the main line. The
 output of the mill is being used at
 present for the construction of the
 big warehouse on the dock at Camp
 415. The framework of the build. ig is up and the floor in place, and , it is expected that it will soon be ready for the accommodation oi , freight consigned to Fairbanks and other points north of Nenana.
