FOLLOW THESE SUGGESTIONS
AND CUT IRONING DRUDGERY.

Have a clean, well-padded board or
table set at comfortable height.
Use clean, smooth irons.
Rubbing them occasionally with wax
or paraffin will keep them in good con
dition. Rusty or dirty irons should be
secured with sand soap or bath brick,
washed, wiped dry, heated, waxed and
rubbed smooth.
Have clothes evenly dampened and
smoothly and tightly rolled.
Iron fabrics with the lengthwish
thread, if possible, and iron as largo
q space at one time a. possible. Most
materials look best if ironed thorough
ly dry.
Iron first the parts that dry out
quickly and that will hang off the
board when finished.
For silks, woolens and colored ma
terials, use medium-hot irons. Iron all
these materials on the wrong side, ex-
cept aprons and children's dresses that
need a smooth surface to keep clean
longer. Silks and woolens may be iron
ed on the right side if covered with
dampened cheesecloth, say household
specialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.

EGGS IN TOMATO SAUCE
IS A GOOD SUPPER DISH.

Eggs are at their cheapest now, and
new and appetizing ways Of preparing
them add variety to the menu. Here
is a recipe recommended by the expert
mental kitchen of the United States
Department Of Agriculture:
Two cups tomato pulp and Juice (pu.
through seive); 2 tablespoons butter;
8 tablespoons flour; 1-2 teaspoonful eel
cry; IA teaspoon pepper; 1-9 tea
spoons salt.
Make sauce of the ingredients. Put
one-half of the sauce in a baking dish,
break six eggs, one at q time, into a
saucer and slide each egg into the sance
taking care not to break the yolk.
Cover with the remaining sauce and
sprinkle three tablespoons of grated
cheese over the top. Put in the oven
and bake until the eggs are set. Serve
hot on toasted bread or with boiled rice.

EFFORT TO CHANGE
CITY NAME OPPOSED

GRAND JUNCTION., April 3.-An-
tagonism to the changing of the name
of Grand Junction to Kingsley, in hon
of of Darwin p. Kingsley, president of
the New York Life Insurance Company,
has developed. Though Mr.. Kingsley
started the first newspaper here with
Edwin Price in 1882, and was PROM
inent in the olden days, many residents
feel that to change the name would
mean a setback for Grand Junction,
which would be felt for years.
The city now has Oils people, and
10 growing fast, and they declare the
name will matter little if the city
keeps on going up the scale Of impor-
lance. The argument that junction -
suggests CROSS roads water tank of 4

keeping the old name.
They point to Grand Rapids, Council

HANDY GATE FOR DEHoRNING
Holder Rugged Up Leaving Sufficient
Space for Animals Head 10
Easily Constructed.

A lock gate for catching and hold
ing cows while they are being de-
horned and marked, Is simple In con-
struction.
First make gateway in the lot
fence, using not less than 4-inch ma
tsrial for the gateposts. Now nall
q 6inch board on each side of these
posts, across the gate at the ground,
and also two others across at the top
Of the posts Close up half Of the
opening by mailing boards diagonally
to the boards at top and bottom Of
the posts, as illustrated. Get a strong
pole, about 4 inches in diameter and
II feet long. Bore n hole through Its
large end with 1-inch auger; also
bore through the bottom boards, about
8 or 10 inches from the post at the
open side of the gate. Let the pole
down between the top boards and the
bottom ones, and insert a l Inch rod
through the bottom boards and the
pole. Then tie 1-inch rope to the
top end of the pole.
When ready to dehorn or mark
large strong animal, drive her toward
the gate. Just as she passes her head
by the pole, pull it over against her
neck, and she Is easily held. There

AVERAGE WEIGHT OF CALVES
Figures Secured From Dairy Herds Of
University Of lIlinois-Factors
That Influence.

A very well-bred Holstein bull calf
weighing 112 pounds was recently
dropped at the Kansas state agricul-
fural college farm at Manhattan Most
of the dairy Infants, however, weigh
considerably less than this Kansas
heavyweight
In the dairy herds of the University
Of Illinois the average weights of the
calves of the various breeds at birth
have been as follows: HoIstein male,
90 lbs. female. So lbs. Ayrshire male.
TIT; female, IA: Guernsey male, 20;
female. 6S.S; Jersey male, 824; fe.
male. 59.7 lbs.
II Is good practice to note and
record the approximate weights Of
calves at birth because this informa-
tion is valuable in apportioning milk
to the young animals. The 1l2-pOund
Kansas giant for instance, could
handle a feeding OF milk that would
put a Jersey calf Of average weight
In line for castor oil.
J. Besides breed and sire, heredity and
the age, size and physical condition

DR.. Charles A. Steinmetz, electrical

showed how city depends on cleo

But" said Doctor Steinmetz al.
though we are absolutely dependent
on our electricity today, we have still
only begun to use It, In the city pres

Heat seep. Out Of Walls.

Engineers find 1t takes two or three
times as much fuel as 1t should to heat
the ordinary dwelling.
That is because houses frequently
are not built to conserve heat, or for
any purpose but to sell.
The way to heat room economical
ly is to lnsulate it. Most persons
know that air space in walls conserves
heat. But this Is true only II the walls
hold dead air. Most walls and ceilings
aren't tight enough. Hot air goes
through them like water through net
Banking up lower walls of houses
with dry leaves and earth still il
practiced In cold states, particularly
In the country. But most city and
town houses can be made tighter with
little effort The Insulation of walls
and ceilings can be improved, and
much coal saved.
It's worth considering in places
where fuel Is scarce or costly. An
examination of many houses will show
that the occupants literally are trying

resulting shine will not last very long.
In summer the grease used for wa.
terproofing shoes and boots should be
harder than that used in winter. Since
heavily creased shoes have tendency
to cause the feet to perspire and swell
In hot weather, and there is also less
need for the water-resistant shoes In
summer than in winter and spring,
1t is rarely advisable to put as much
grease on the shoes at that time OF
the year. In summer, the quantity
of grease used should not exceed the
amount that the leather will take up
without leaving its surface greasy. In
winter, especially If 1t is desired to
get the greatest water resistance, &
mixture of grease and oils that Is not
too hard when cold is required; more
of this grease than the leather will
absorb may be used. An excess will
do no harm and will make the leather
more water resistant.
Waterproofing Formulas.
For interpreting boots and shoes,
nothing better than the following sim
pie 10 hlOWh " ihC AONPaiA
ment of Agriculture. While the de
partment believes that these formulas
do not infringe on any existing patents
or pending applications for patents, 1t
can assume no responsibility.
Formula 1: s ounces of neutral
wool grease, ounces dark petrolatum,
and 4 ounces parafiin wax.
n 4 ,4tr N1nt
ounces beeswax
Formula 3: 8 ounces petrolatum
ounces paraffin wax, ounces wool
grease and . ounces crude turpentine
gum (gum thus).
Formula 4 12 ounces tallow and
ounces cod oil.'
Should Be Melted Together.
In each case the ingredients Of the
mixture should be melted together by
warming them carefully and stirring
thoroughly. Better penetration is OBJ
tanned if the grease is applied warm
but 1t should never be hotter than the
hand can bear.
Grease thoroughly the edge Of the
sole and the welt, as this is where
shoes leak most. The sole should also
be thoroughly impregnated with the
grease, thereby increasing Its water re
sistance, durability, and pliabiIlty. The
sole can be most conveniently water
PROCEED by letting the shoe stand for
about 10 minutes in a shallow pan con
tanning enough OF the melted water
PROBING material to cover the entire
sole. Rubber heels, however, should
not be allowed to stand in the grease,

WASHINGTON HAD RIGHT IDEA
Disposition Of the Farm Buildings at
Mount Vernon Little Short Of
Ideal Arrangement.

A survey of the attempts Of many
modern farmers to create humaniz-
ing atmosphere around the farm house
shows that this effect is accomplished
by psychological barriers, screens and
Enclosures. The work appliances Of
the farm are necessarily in such close
proximity to the house that exclusion
is done by suggestion, rather than by
actual shutting out of every scintilla
Of farm work. The low wall, the
hedge, the clump of trees, running
vines, are mental screens. We can
peer over or around. but we do not.
The Glenwood post., 1921-04-09

Roofs and outlines of farm buildings
are visible, but lost to sense in the
competing humanism this side of the
barriers.
The scattered situation of the vari-
GUS farm buildings and yards about
the ordinary farm house, often at
every angle produces the serious diff
culties of the detaching process.
George Washington, the farmer, dis
posed his barns, outbuildings, yards
and gardens, at the wings Of his Mount
Vernon house. The rear was left
open and free for stretching lawn,
sky above, tall tree foliage at sides,
sky at end of vista, meadow land
dropping out of sight. The front was
''laid down handsomely In grass" as
George Washington described the
lawn; while the Potomac river, real
moving picture, ran among the oaks on
the river bank.

LIMITED OUTPUT
DEGRADEs LABOR.

BOSTON, April 6.-Insistence of Ia
Dor unions on limited output and the
closed shop will "prove fatal not only
to individual success but to national
charaeter,' President Emeritus Charles
W. Eliot of Harvard University said
in ad address Tuesday night. Limita-
ton of output he termed the greatest
possible error, which would have n de
grading effect on all who worked under
it; the closed shop as the only instru-
ment in the hands of union labor to
gain it's rights, he said, was "pure
delusion.'
By a process of education already
started, he thought there was a means
Of dissipating the idea Of an inevitable
war between employers and employees.
The process was an unlocked for result
of the World War, he said, that Of ed
ucating both sides to turn away from
wafare to methods of peace and good
will.
DR.. Eliot agreed with S. A. Lewiston
of New York, vice president and treas
urer of the Miami Copper Company,
another speaker, that it was necessary
to proceed slowly with a reduction of
wages. Reduction, however, was in
evitable, he said, to get satisfactory
conditions in industry.

TURKEY HEN IS UNSURPASSED
AS MOTHER FOB PoULTs.

Four poults the turkey hen is the
best mother that can be found. She
knows their needs and can talk to them
in a Language that they soon learn to
understand. At the approach of any
danger she gives low, warning note
that sends them scurrying in every di-
rection for a weed or patch of grass
where they can lie at on the ground
safely hidden from view. While on
free range, she keeps her brood together
by talking continuously in n contented,
purring tone, SO that the poults always
know where she is.
When her poults become widely sep
arated, or if some become lost, and she
hears their 'peep, peep" she calls
them with the characteristic yelp
heard 50 frequently during the laying
season. Now and then, while the poults
are but a few days old, she catches a
grasshopper or other insect and calls
the poults to come and get it. They
soon learn to find their own feed, how
ever, and range out ahead of the mother
hen in search of whatever they can
find.
Young turkeys usually remain with
the mother hen until about October or
November, when the males ordinarily
separate from the females and range by
themselves. When two turkey hens
with broods of about the same age are
turned out on free range together they
will remain in one flock, and as this
makes it easier to hunt them up and
care for them it is advisable to turn
out two or three hens with their broods
together when they are given free range.
1t is not a good plan to have more
than this number of young poults in
one flock, say poultry specialists in the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, as they may all try to crowd I'M
der one or two hens to be mothered.

SOME INTERESTING FACTS
ABOUT OUR PRESIDENTS.

Two American fathers have lived to
see their sons elected president Of the
United States. They were President
John Adams and DR.. Harding.
John Adams was the second president
of the United States, 1791-1sO1, and
his son, John Quincy Adams, was in
augurated sixth president in 1925. John
Adams lived until July 4, 1926, dying
at the age of 90. He lived to greater
age than any man who has served as
president. In only one other instance
was a direct descendant of a president
elected to the highoffice
This was in the case of the two Iar-
risons-William Henry having been the
ninth and Benjamin Harrison, his
grandson, the twenty-third.
The presidency of the first Harrison
was unique in two particulars. He was
the Oldest man ever elected to the Of
flee, 6S years, and he served the short
est period, exactly one month. He died
April 1s4l, of pleurisy, contracted at
the Inauguration. ce-President Tyler
succeeded HIM.
Garfield was the. youngest, 40 years,
at the time of his death. He died of
an assassin S bullet after six and half
months in office.
M0cf of tbirL IF Voc HI ortn nc
having lived to ripe old age because
of his many years as a national leader
and hero, as soldier and statesman, but
he was only 81 wien he died, two years
and half after his retirement.
Roosevelt was the youngest man to
enter the White House as president. He
was AZ when he took the oath of office
after the death of Mckinley.
Harding is the first Baptist elected
to the presidency. Most of the other
Protestant denominations have been
represented by one or more presidents.
The Unitarians have been represented
out of all proportion to their numbers.
There have been three of them-the two
Adamses and Taft.
There never has been Catholic pres
ident, and but one of them efferson-
did not profess any particular faith.
He called himself a liberal.
Six of the presidents have been child
less, the first and the last being among
the number. Taken as lot, the presi-
dents have had los children. Some one
has called attention to the fact that
the eugenists may be able to figure out
why 60 of them have been sons and 45
have been daughters. William Henry
Harrison did the most to perpetuate the
race. He was the father of six sons
and four daughters.
Nine of the twenty eight presidents
did not have college education: Among
the nine are the two who attained and
held the highest pinnacles of presiden-
tial fame-Washington and Lincoln.

The brick work is completed and the
roof is on, Already about half of the
plastering has been finished. 1t will
be ready for the painters in a few
days.
1t is planned to heat the building
by furnace, but this will not be install
ed this year, stoves being used for the
present. The building when finished
will have cost nearly $4,000, of which
the county paid $4,000, the balance be-
ing contributed by the generous peo-
pie of the community.
When the building is finished it will
be formally dedicated with appropri-

FAIR CIRCUIT FOR
YEAR BIC SUCCESS
TENDANCE GOOD
MUCH CREDIT is DUE COUNTY
AGENT ALTERNATELY FOR THE
SPLENDID SHOWING MADE.
MORE FAIRS THAN EVER BEFORE
Total AttendNce Far Above the Fig.
urcs of the Past--Community Clubs
Have Proven ConclusiveIy the
Worth of Cooperation.
(From Tuesdays Daily Herald.

Wv "SDuoJ % iIohy I'LL uAt'J
Maury county's fair circuit for 1921
has closed, going out in blaze OF
glory with the county agricultural day
here Monday. The county has had
more fairs this year than at any time
in her history, and all of them have
attracted enormous crowds. Perhaps
the total fair attendance in the sounty
was greater than at any time in the
past.
The circuit opened on the last day
of September at Culleoka, when an
enormous crowds assembled to view
the community exhibits. Other com
munity fairs followed in quick success
sion. fsom, Hampshire, Enterprise and
Santa Fe, all drew enormous crowds,
as did the fair here yesterday.
Each community which made any
effort at all to hold a fair made a
most creditable showing, proving con
eiusively the worth of community eff
fort and cooperation. But these
community and the county fairs were
not all, Maury county captured, one
Of the grand prizes for the best com
ty exhibit at the big state fair, all OF
which proves that the combined eff
forts of the county council of agricul-
ture and the farmers of the county
can accomplish what has heretofore
seemed impossible.
Plans are already being made by
some of the communities of the coun-
ty to hold even better fairs next
year than were this year, and it is
known that the county council of ag-
riculture will make an effort to as
semble th9 greatest collection of Mau
ny county products ever gotten to,
gether in 1922 for the state fair.
Much credit for the success of
these fairs is due County Agent Aber-
nathy, the fair committees of the
county council and the committees of
the several community organizations
Of the county, but the burden has
rested largely upon the shoulders of
Mr.. Abernathy-he has worked night
and day for the success of several
fairs mot only has he had to ask the
farmers to save their products for dis
play, but in many instances he has
gone for them, bringing them himself
from the farm to county council head
quarters.
