Decorations on all garments must
be of the simplest sort and there
should never be anything at neck or

in mind the constant laundering, it is
best to omit all but narrow lace or a

FOR HIS MAJESTY, THE BABY,
CHOOSE SIMPLE CLOTHES

Every prospective mother loves to
fuss over those tiny things that are
to be her baby's first garments; but
how many women know just how to
choose what will really meet the needs
of his majesty, the baby?
The keynote of good dressing is
appropriateness. This has been said
over and over again in regard to the
clothes of grown-ups, and, says Mrs.
Catharine Griebel, extension specialist
in clothing of the New Jersey Agri-
cultural College, is it not the stand
ard we should have in planning baby's
first garments?
First let us consider that it is i'm
portant to have his little body kept at
normal temperature under all weather
conditions. Then stop to think of his
delicate skin and that all garments
must be soft to prevent irritation, and
then that it is a continual wash, wash,
wash, to keep him fresh and sweet.
All garments should be loose
enough to let him kick his little heels
to his hearts content-and never
heavy. Several light weight coverings
are better than one heavy one, as it
is then possible to remove or add one
or more when the weather changes,
and besides, the layers of still air be-
tween the garments make them
warmer than the single heavy one.
Use all wool for bands, whether
flannel or knit. Wool, or wool and
silk is desirable for ~petticoats, but
outing flannel may be substituted, if
cost has to be considered, as it does
in so many homes.
Dresses should be simple and of fine
cambria, batiste or ~nainsook. Twenty
seven inches is the approved length,
with the p%etticoats one inch shorter.
Nightgowns may be of soft cambria
or of stockinette. These should be
thirty-six inches long and provided
with a drawing string at the bottom
so the gown can be drawn up to pro-
tect the feet.
Diapers may be made of cotton or
linen birdseye, or of light weight cot
ton flannel. Wrappers Of cashmere,
fannelette or challie are nice for cool

HOW TO STORE SWEET POTATOES

you can afford to eat sweet pota-
toes all winter if you buy them now,
is a timely suggestion to New Jersey
housewives from the State Bureau OF
Market, which is aiding the FEEDER
alton of Women's Clubs in a nome
economics program. The bureau ex-
plains that later when prices on this
product rise rapidly sweet potatoes
will become almost a luxury.
Thrifty housewives are urged 10
purchase sweet potatoes now by the
basket or crate, the Market Bureau
declaring there is a big crop IN TINS
state and that prices are reasonable.
For winter keeping sweet potatoes
should be procured from the grower
or dealer as soon as possible after
they are dug, the Bureau says. Stored
in a warm, dry room, preferably d
heated cellar, with the basket or con-
tainer set off the floor to afford ventl-
lation from below, the potatoes Will
keep in good condition for several
months.
AS sold in retail stores, sweet pota-
toes are difficult to handle in winter
and highly perishable, thus involving
a necessary increase in selling prices,
market experts declare, and this con-
dition emphasizes the economical ao-
vantage Of home storage OF the pota-
toes for table use.

STATEMENT OF A STATE OFFICIAL
IN REFERENCE TO THE BOND
ISSUE

Whether the bond issue was won
or lost, institutional needs are the
same. The work of the Department is
not changed. The existing institu-
tions must be operated as efficiently
and economically as possible. They
must be reconstructed, enlarged and
the necessary new institutions pro-
vided. Every energy must be devoted
to the continuance of the work Of
educating the public through actual
demonstrations which they can see
and know about, that juvenile delin-
quency, dependency and insanity are
preventable, and that we must begin
with the children in the home, in the
church and in the school. In view of
our present knowledge and present
achievements, any other program is
unthinkable.
Two years ago the State Board pre-
scented to the Governor and Legisla-
ture a report outlining a construction
program to cover the immediate mini
mum needs of the institutions, leaving
the question of whether the program
should be financed by a bond issue, by
direct state tax or from the revenues
of the state, to the Governor and Leg
islature to decide. The last session
of the Legislature adopted the bond
issue plan. If that plan is rejected,
then undoubtedly the Governor and
Legislature will find some other way
of meeting the situation, as 40 one
has challenged the needs.
We have bent all our energies to the
task of formulating the most feasible
plan for meeting these needs and of
educating the people to appreciate
that fundamental measures, not mere
criticism of the courts, of the police
or of existing institutions and agen-
cies will effect a lasting remedy for
such an extremely serious situation.
The campaign for the bond issue was
merely an incident in the course of
our general work. Unfortunately we
were practically without funds so hat
we could not bring the facts home to
the average voter as they usually are
in the case of bond issues, constitu-
tional amendments and other public
questions. All we could do was to
trust to other organizations to circu-
late brief statements outlining the
purposes of the bill and to furnish
statements of the most salient facts
to the press of the state which, with
one or two striking exceptions, has
given powerful support to the states
unfortunates. We are deeply CRATE
full to all those who labored in this
great cause of humanity. Time, truth,
common sense and human sympathy
will win the fight. No cause is set
tied until it is settled right.

Their first visits to this region
date back to 1910. 1t vas not
until 1C6S however, that the first
actual settlement was made.
This was the mission at Sault
Sainte Marie, founded by Father
Marquette. Mackinac was es-
tablished a few years later, and
Detroit's growth was slow.
After the French and Indian
wars the English took over this
territory, and in 1774 it was for
mally declared a part OF Canada.
Detroit rapidly grew in impor-
lance and during the Revolution
was the base of operations for
many raids by the British and
Indians against the Americans.
BY the terms of the treaty of
Paris in 1888 this region became
a part of the United States.
What is now Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, a part of Minnesota, Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio was known as
the Northwest territory. After
Ohio was set off as a separate
state the Lower Peninsula Of
Michigan was Joined to Indiana
territory. In 1906 Michigan be-
came a separate territory with
about its present boundaries.
There was, however, a great
dispute over a small strip OF
land in the extreme southern
portion which was claimed by
Ohio. This almost led to blood
shed, but was finally settled by
Michigan releasing her claim to
the disputed area and receiving
as compensation an addition to
the Upper Peninsula. On this
basis Michigan was admitted to
the Union in 1887 and became
the twenty-sixth state.
Michigan has a unique situa-
ton, as it is bounded by the
three largest Of the Great Lakes,
and divided into two peninsulas.

CAREY'S

Rev. George T.. Jones who was a
student of w. C. I. and pastor of
Pennington charge, died at the Meth
odist Hospital Wednesday, November
10th, about one o'clock a. m. He was
% years, IL months of age and was
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. J. Jones,
of Carey's Church, near Millsboro. He
leaves a wife, Mrs. Gertrude TimmOns
Jones, the daughter of w. w. Tim
mons of this community, father, mo-
ther, two sisters, Estella and Della,
and a brother, Roy Jones. When a
mere lad of about IL years of age he
joined the church and became very
active member, taking part in the
class services, Sunday school and
other church work During the fall of
1879 he entered w. c. 1. at Dover and
became a very distinguished student
and won the honor and favor of all
other students and faculty as well.
On June 5th, 1920, he was united in
matrimony with Miss Gertrude Tim
mons, by the Rev. T. Reighton Jones,
pastor of GumborO charge and Car
eys Church at that time. They both
worked during the summer and
when school opened he resumed his
duties there and Mrs. Jones lived with
his parents. During the early part of
this year he accepted the position as
pastor at Pennington and hoping to
continue his school course, but went
only few days before i'll health pre-
vented and kept him home for nearly
two weeks after which he went to the
hospital and was there nearly six
weeks. The funeral took place Sat
urday afternoon at 1 o'clock, at Car
ey's Church. The Rev. Budd, president
of the w. c. l., preached the funeral.
There were several of his school
chums and professors present. Six of
the students acted as pall-bearers
and others as sub-bearers. Interment
was made in adjoining cemetery. Mr..
Jones had host of friends at school
and near home, in fact, everyone who
knew him found him to be a friend
and brother. He will be missed but
his influence will remain with those
who knew him.

competitions in fact, any and all COM
petitions it is a serious handicap to
any plant depending upon eggs for
its support and source of profit. While
the subject of maturity has been very
frequently touched upon in these col
umns, its Importance warrants any
reference made to it. Simple imma-
turity in egg competition pens is of
relatively small Importance when
compared to early fall failure to ma
ture birds for laying in the season of
high prices. Failure to mature is not
overcome by heavy output until
molting time comes around in the fol-
lowing fall or winter because the
bulk of the output is in the season of
low prices.
For competition purposes maturity
should be arranged for as of Novem-
ber 1, to prove that normal output is
maximum to any strain from an arbi-
trary date to next falls molt, that the
seasons selected for proving strains
are best suited to profit making.

Secretary, Laying Competition

Nothing very much out of the ordi-
nary marked the scoring in the Sec
Ond week made by the 500 birds en-
tered in the Eleventh Philadelphia
North American International Egg
Laying Competition, at Milford. Total
egg yield was slightly lower than the
first week, the production running
557 for the initial seven-day period
and 5S4 for the second.
Four birds in the hen pen, No. 1, are
in molt, three pullets in two pens fol-
lowing suit. Evidently these pullets
began laying too far ahead of open
ing date, a rather certain guarantee
that a molt will follow in November.
1t is quite likely a few more pullets
will shed their coats before the first
of the year simply because they were
matured too long before November 1.
One individual bird 1 in pen 25, laid
an egg every day of the official week,
a good omen and promise of high
