c. E Rarick, of the Extension De-
partment of Hays Normal, viii speak
in the hall atsCollyer, Kansas, Fri
day evening, December 10, at 8 p. n
Everybody in ten or fifteen miles of
Collyer invited to hear him. IF you
are in favor of consolidated schools
come out and help boost; If you are
opposed to them come out and give
It a black eye Anyhow Come.
The thing I have been looking for
for long time Is the chance to give
the child on the farm an equal chance
with the town child and we can never
DO it with the present little school
Shall we continue to let the children
Of the towhs have better opportunity
than the child on the farm? It is up
to you I do not oppose the high
school but do advocate an equal chance
for all and the only way we can get
it I see it is to turn to the conso1i-
dated school. Just think about it Mr..
Farmer How about your child Can
you send them to some town high
school? Can you give them an even
chance or would you rather have them
at home where you can know what
they are doing, and look after them
Would it not be better for the child
to be at home at this age? Would It
not be less wear on your nerves also
on your dollars How about it?
Think it over and give them the best
you can. Why wait two or three
years; many of them will grow out of
school by that time. If you ever
reach them you must do it now
Study up your questions and put them
at Mr. Rarick and Let him help you
out OF some of your difficulties
This is a coming thing and the com
munity that gets in on the ground
floor will have the advantage in many
ways.
Come and lets thresh the matter out

IF ALL women belonged to "tne per-

the way of costumers would be easy and
the variety In suits considerably less.
But designers begin by making gar
ments for model figures and continue
by giving thought to the too slender
woman. She is fairly easy to dispose
Of-for slenderness is adorable in the
eyes of fashion artists and then
comes the task that costs them hours
of thought and endeavor. They must
construct clothes that will give the
appearance of slenderness to the stout
woman
Leaving the perfect thirty-six to
choose any style she wishes, since all
are quite likely to look well on her,
this article devotes itself to the need
of the slender and the stout woman.

GRAPE JUICE USEFUL
TO FLAVOR DESSERTS
Ample Supply Is Easily Obtained
by Housekeeper.
Unfermented Product, Properly Made
and Bottled Will Keep for lndef-
mite Period If Not Exposed
to the Atmosphere.

Wise housekeepers can have plenty
of grape juice for use not only as a
beverage but as fiavoring in various
tempting desserts. The following di-
rections for making 1t are given by the
United States department of agricul-
ture:
Only clean, sound, well-ripened but
not overripe grapes should be used.
These may be crushed by a potato
masher or some similar implement. or
the juice may be pressed out In an or
binary cider mill. Pour Immediately
into glass or enameled vessel and al
low 1t to stand overnight. Drain the
juice from the sediment and run
through several thicknesses of clean
flannel. Pour into clean bottles, leav-
ing space at the top for the liquid to
expand when hot. Put bottles on a
false bottom in q wash boiler, If no
commercial pasteurlzer is available;
fill boiler with water to within an
inch or so of the tops of the bottles.
Place a thermometer In one Of the bot
ties and heat until the juice reaches a
temperature of $50 degrees; then take
the bottles out and seal or cork them
Immediately. Only new corks that
have been soaked for 30 minutes in
water at temperature of about 40
degrees should be used. 1t Is well to
take the further precaution of sealing
the corks with paraffin or sealing wax
to prevent the entrance of mold germs.
Grape juice may also be made by
adding one pint of water to every five
pounds of grapes. ConcOrds and Mag
aras make an acceptable product.
Crush the grapes, add the water,
bring nearly to boiling point, and
strain. Add one-half cupful of granu-
lated sugar to every quart of juice.
Bring just to boil, pour into boiled
bottles or cans, place in water bath.
and boil ten minutes; seal alright
Unfermented grape juice properly
made and bottled will keep indefinitely
If not exposed to the atmosphere or TO
infection from mold germs. When a
bottle is once opened, however, the
contents should be used as soon as
possible.

Faith In Mascots.

It is not uncommon for women In
Scotland to become unnerved over the
loss of mascot. A few weeks ago
in a small town in the south of Scot
land, party Of four sat playing
whist. During the whole of the first
rubber the hands dealt to one OF the
players were deplorable. She got up
at intervals and turned the poker and
various other offending pieces of fur
niture, but In vain. Then she went
upstairs for "Peter," a small silver
"fums up" She put him on the table
beside the cards that were being dealt
to her. And from that moment on
wards she and her partner scarcely
lost a trick Probably II was only
coincidence, but 1t was just one Of
these particular condolences upon
which people of certain type of mind
willingly would found a universal
superstition, and which bring added
grist to the mascot mill of marvellous
happenings.

TO REMOVE TARNlSH
FROM THREE METALS
RottenStone Mixed With Oil Is
Substance Most Used
OxaIic Acid, Buttermilk or Vinegar
Are Cleaning Agents Suggested by
Household Experts-Whiting
Takes Up Moisture.

The tarnlsh on copper, brass and
bronze is copper carbonate. 1t may be
removed by friction, or dissolved in
weak acids
Rottenstone mixed with oil to n
creamy consistency is the common
substance used on these metals. After
this cleaner has been applied the
metal should be polished with soft
cloth. A final rubbing with dry rotten
stone or whiting will give the metal
an even brighter luster.
Oxalic-acid solution, buttermilk or
vinegar, especially when warmed,
quickly dlssolves the tarnish on these
metals. All traces of these cleaning
agents must be removed, however. or
the metal will tarnish again very
quickly, say household specialists OF
the United States department of agri-
culture. Washing the metal in water,
drying It, and rubbing 1t with dry
whiting is usually effective. The whit
ing not only takes up moisture but
polishes by friction.

Jersey cloth proves its virtues for
