1t is economy to keep two pairs OF
shoes in use and wear them on alter

them fresher and more shapely so that

shoes should be kept clean and well
brushed. Leather shoes may be rubbed
with vaseline to keep them soft and
also to keep moisture from passing
quickly through the leather.
White canvas shoes are usually

Finds Way to Fill United States
Product Full OF Holes.
'Swiss" cheese-the kind full Of
holes-long luxury on American Ia
bles, is soon to become a commonplace
commodity. The holes, the distinguish
ing mark of real Swiss cheese, can
now be made by new culture dis
covered by w. U. Weimar. cheese
specialist Of Sugar Creek. O.
Since the manufacture Of "Swisss
cheese began in this country no dairy
man or farmer has been able to pro-
duce the holes in quantity and size dis
played by the imported from the conti-
nent. Long have scientists cudgeled
their bruins in an effort to discover
the secret.
Weimar, who makes no pretenslons
to scientific achievement, has agreed
to demonstrate to cheese makers. farm
ers, and dairymen of Tuscarawas
county how to produce the long sought
"holes" by means of new culture.
Through Weimar's process American
made "Swiss" cheese can be made to
80 closely resemble the imported ar
ticle that the ordinary person cannot
distinguish the difference. The new
culture, Weimar says. can be used sue.
cessfully by any dairyman or cheese
maker.

DEER KILLS SNAKE
TrampIes Life From Big Reptile In

TrampIes Life From Big Reptile In
Little Time.
A combat between a buck deer and
a fve-foot blacksnake was witnessed
in a field about mile and half west
of Youngsdale, Pa. by Emmanuel Ar
mold, who had been fishing in NOEL
haitian run for trout and was walk
ing to Lock Haven via Castanca.
The fight was Of short duration, for
the deer trampled the life out Of the
big snake in few seconds.
Arnold saw the buck and doe in
n field near woods, and the next in
slant the buck leaped in the air four
times in succession and came down
with his feet close together. As he
started toward the field to make an
investigation the deer ran into the
woods and disappeared. On reach
ing the spot where the animal had
been standing Arnold was surprised
to see large blacksnake crushed and
mangled by the sharp-pointed hoofs
of the deer, which were punched to-
gether each time the deer landed on
the reptile.

things. They know how to keep warm
BY eating food, the right kind Of food.
All no. bees know how to look after
themselves In the winter time.
And SO we must not only gather
honey, but we must store it for the
long winter ahead. That isn't my
work, 1t is the work though of all the
worker bees.

our food and the young will be taught
what they must do.
'They will be taught that they are

wiser bees will go to the flowers for
the nectar and for the pollen.
Another thing, we must never be
lazy. There is a saying Of how the
little bee improves each shining hour.
That is true saying, and we must
never let 1t be said Of US that we have
not lived up to that saying.

we should be very proud.
