Hot Cocoa for Cold Days Is Food As
Well As Drink.

In cold weather IT is good for the
younger children to have hot drink
before starting for school in the morn
ing. Cocoa made with milk is both
a food and beverage. and most chill
dren enjoy it for breakfast. The U.
rs. Department of Agriculture recon-
mends cocoa as a suitable addition to
the hot school lunch. When IL is
not possible for the children to OBJ
tain IT at school the mother may
serve 1t when the children get home
in the afternoon, or as part of the
evening meal. Few adults will re-
fuse an appetizing cup of cocoa for
lunch or supper, when dropping in to
call. or when returning late at night
from a cold trip.
Make cocoa with whole or skim
milk If possible. Allow 2 level tea
spoonfIlls of cocoa and about level
teaspoonsfull of sr>r to each half
pint of milk. While bringing the
milk to the scalding point mix the
cocoa and surG' to a paste W. I lit

Special seed Storage House Seldom
Necessary on Farm.

Unless a farmer wishes to engage
extensively in the business of seed
production, it probably would not pay
him TO erect special seed house,
studies by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture have shown. Us
ually there are one or more build
ings on the farm which are suitably
for storing seed. A dry. well-venti@
lated place such as granary should
be chosen, and the seed, If in bulk,
should not be piled too deep. In most
instances it probably is advisable to
store seed in bags piled neatly with
the lowermost layer raised off the
floor by strips of wood. Precaution-
airy measures should be taken against
rodents, and if many weevil or other
insects are working in the seed 1t
may be advisable to fumigate with
carbon disulhide.

Genius and Success

Genius is only the power Of making
continuous efforts. The line between
failure and success>is so fine that we
scarcely know when we pass IL; so
fine that we are often on the line and
do not know II. How many a man
has thrown up his hands at time
when little more enort. little more
patience, would have achieved success
As the tide goes clear out, so II comes
clear In. In business sometimes pros
poets may seem darkest when really
they are on the turn. A little more
persistence. little more effort, and
what seemed hopeless failure may
turn TO glorious success. There Is no
failure except I'm no longer trying.
There Is no defeat except from with
in; no really insurmountable barrier
save our own inherent weakness Of
purpOse.-Elbert Hubbard.

Is The Outlook Attractive From Your
Kitchen Window?

Is the outlook from your kitchen
windows pleasant? If not, can you
improve it? Cleaning up the back
yard will often help, and hedge or
a trellis of vines can sometimes be
used to screen undesirable features.
Also trim walks of concrete or brick,
and well-seeded lawn about the

Creosoting Fence Posts Is Generally
Economical.

Although more expensive at the
outset, creosoted posts are generally
more economical TO use than many
kinds of untreated, short-lived woods,
because of their much greater lasting
qualities, the Forest Service of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture has determined. The excep-
tions would be in remote localities
with cheap wood and labor, and
where it would be expensive TO OBJ
tain creosote.
The large saving in the replace
ment charges, which ordinarily
mount up so high in maintining a
fence, and the use of cheap and in
ferior kinds of woods in the first
place, much more than offset the in
creased cost of thorough treatment
with creosote Treated posts are a
good investment, and their use where
lasting woods are scarce or extern
siye is a sign of sound judgment in
farm management.
The best treatment is that which
results in the deepest penetration
into the wood with the least absorb
tion of creosote. The butts OF the
posts should be placed. for ? hours
in creosote heated to a temperature
of $50 to 22O degrees F 1t is inn

CUBAN ARMY PROBLEMS ARE
 CAUSE OF SERIOUS THOUGHT

HAVANA, June 16-Reorganiza- tion of the Cuban army is one of the tasks facing the new administra- ton of Dr. Alfredo Zayas. The Menocal government which preceded that of Dr. Zayas, took a prelimin- ary step by abolishing the custom of promotion of officers by selection. The presidential decree effecting the reform will become operative on the first of July, pending which no selections are being made.
 The motive for army reorganiza tion is economy and was discussed at conferences between Major E. Crowder, special agent in Cuba for
The Nenana news., 1921-06-16

President Harding, and both the re- tiring president and the presen; head of the Cuban government.
 While the army itself numbers on ly about 1l,OO0, the high salaries paid and the cost of supplies have run the total cost of this branch of the national defense to more than S6,000,000, a figure considered ex- cessive. Some sentiment has been shown for the abolition of the army and the creation of a force of rurales, but the general trend seems to be for a smaller force than at present. but of greater eff ciency, the result of the acquisition of the most modern forms of auto matic rifles and machine guns.

 Average daily production of pe- troleum in California during April, 1921. totaled 33S,961 barrels. ex- ceeding the record production of March by 1,298 barrels day. Con- sumption also increased slightly dur ing the month. Fifty-eight new wells were opened during the month and five wells were abandoned. In retail trade, slight declines in the value of sales were reported. Of seven cities reporting retail trade conditions, Los Angeles and Oak land only showed an increase in the value of net sales.

LONDON, June 1-The tailors say that the former soldier is los ing his soldierly figure. His chest which, in wartime, was where a soldiers chest ought to be, has now slipped down to where it ought not to be. and his waist measurement has developed extensively.
 The result is that the beautiful figure of the man of 1919 has be- come rare and fatness and f1abbiness have taken the place of the thinness and muscle.

CONDITIONS IMPROVING

Increases in building activities, particularly in Southern California, and the Government forecast May 1 of winter wheat crop of sixty six million bushels, the largest in the history of the Twelfth Federal Reserve District, were the outstapd- ing developments in the district during the past month, according to a statement made by John Perrin, federal reserve agent, of San Fran cisco.
 In the district generally, he says. the number of building permits was 4S.9 per cent larger than in April, 1920 and their value 27.4 per cent greater. The smaller increase in value of permits is, attributed to decreased building costs, which are estimated to be from eight to 50 per cent less than they were a year ago.
 Regarding winter wheat, the statement says it's condition in the district on May was slightly above the ten year average.
 More than seasonal improve ment is reported in the lumber in- dustry. Seventy-ive per cent of the mills are now operating. compared to 40 to 50 per cent earlier in the year, and demands for nearly all grades of lumber are increasing.

Backed by Calder.

Discussion of the proposal to ex-

years will be the subject OF a special
meeting of the City Clubs housing
group Monday evening at the CLUB
house. Because of the Importance of
the question, all members OF the club
have been invited.
Much interest has been aroused in
the City Club by Senator Calder's re-
cent address in which he urged the
club to get behind such a measure
as a means OF stimulating home
building and business generally.
The matter comes before the hous-
ing group as the result of letter TO
the club from Claude w. Owen. who
had presented the same suggestion
to several civic organizations pre-
vious to the Senator's address. Iir.
owens letter was referred to The
group by the board of governors CT
the club.
The suggestion, as embodied in Mr..
Owens letter. already has been Ia
vorably discussed by the Chamber of
Commerce, the directors having re-
ferred the plan to their law and log
islation committee for further study.
This committee is expected to report
back in a short time.
Senator Calder advised the City
Club to advocate an exemption FOL
FIVE years. instead OF ten as under
the New York law. Only the build
ings are exempted. he pointed out. the
