The Only Woman Who
 Carves In Soap

Anne Hershey, a Mount Holyoke college girl of 20. is the only woman in the country who models in soap. Not a soap specially prepared for the purpose, but common wash-d day bar soap is turned by her into fairies, busts of heroes, or cute little animals
 How did I happen to begin on soap?' she said. Perhaps it is be- cause it was all that I could find in the house one rainy day when I was a child. I had carved figures from wood. and built statuary of mud, but never till that day did I learn the possibilities in soap"
 Miss Hershey, from ordinary white laundry soap, fashions statuettes oi such loveliness that the unsuspectine observer takes them for marble oI ivory
 'I have had this desire to fashion things all my life" she says, but do not believe in taking it up as 2 profession until I have a mind we'll trained for the job. That is why I an still in school Marble, of course, is my ultimate aim, but in the mean while am getting lot of joy out oi

 What are you. doing, Grandfather Frog?"
 "Watching my toes.'' replied Grand father Frog gruffly.
 Watching your toes, He, he. he! Watching your toes. Whoever heard of such thing? Are you afraid that they will run away, Grandfather Frog?" shouted MT. Redwing.
 Grandfa ther Frog didn't answer. He kept right on watching his toes Mir Redwing flew away to tell every body he met how Grandfather Frog had become foolish and was watching his toes. The sun shone down warm and bright, and pretty soon Grand father Frogs big, goggy eyes began to blink Then his head began to nod, and then--why then Grandfathel Frog fell fast asleep
 By and by Grandfather Frog awoke with a start. He looked down at his toes. They were not in the water al all. Indeed, the water was a gooo long jump away
 "Chugarum: There is something wrong with the Smiling Pool!" cried Grandfather Frog as he made long jump into the water and started te swim out to the Big Rock. Next Story: "The Laughing Brool Stone I auohipdU

Little oy little the smile grew smaller and smaller until there wasn't any smile. No, sir; there wasn't any smile. In steao Of looking happy, as he said he felt, Grandfather Frog actually looked unhappy.
 The fact is he couldn't forget what Jerry Muskrat and Little Joe Otter tiau ICld nlIIl-lnat there was some thing the matter with the Smiling Pool. He didn't believe it, not a word of it. At least he tried to make him. self think that he didn't believe it. They said the water in the Smiling Pool was growing lower and lower just as it did in the middle of sum mer in the very hottest weather Now Grandfather Frog Is very old and very wise, and he had never heard of such a thing happening in the spring time- So he wouldn't believe it now. And yet-and yet-Grandfather Frog had an uncomfortable feeling that something was wrong.

FOR RENEWING QUILTS

A very little starch added to the water in which a muslin guilt is rinsed will make the quilt look like new.
 One tablespoonful of lump starch should be made into cooked starch. This is then added to a tubfuI of water for the rinsing.
 The cotton cloth on the outside of the cotton filling absorbs the starch before it has chance to touch the cotton inside.
 The quilt will keep fresh lookinq longer than if rinsed without starch ing.

Talking movies have been perfected by Orlando Kellum, Jr., of San Fran cisco. The Society of Electrical En- gineers has pronounced his device a success.
 Similar devices have been perfected recently in England and Sweden. Edi son invented a device 10 years ago but sound and action failed to sym chronize.
 Electrical engineers before whom Kellum's machine was demonstrated marveled at the realistic effects achieved
 Words were uttered by the talking machine in unison with the move ment of actors lips
 A sea picture attracted most at tention. Breaking Of waves and flap ping of sails were heard as the boat ploughed through the water.
 In mob scene the lusty yells of the crew were heard and above them the commands of the captain.
 Many voices and sounds could be distinguished at one time and action and sound synchronized.
 The invention is carried in a com pact case and weighs p pounds. It consists of a series of electromagnets and other devices which Kellum care fully guards against inspection.
 He was assisted in his work by Lieutenant Bryan Battey of the avia tion service who had studied the syn chronizing of rifle and airplane pro- peller blade which allowed pilots to fire machine gun through whirring propeller.
 All the engineers who heard it did not agree that Keilum's invention would be practical for regular movie houses, but they were one in saying that the machine will soon be in gen eral use in schools.
 By means of it,, languages, sing ing calisthenics and kindred sub iectS can be taught.

the 1921 grand champion sweepstakes

Only a country store, grain elevator,
three farm houses and muddy road
mark the railroad station of Maxwell,
23 miles southwest of Springfield,
where the ten ears of yellow corn were
raised which won the grand champion
ship
From the decrepit railroad station
westward stretches the land of J. w.
Workman, producer of the champion
growers. His corn was awarded the
championship in Chicago at the Inter-
national Grain and Hay show
Years of careful seed selection, his
excellent land, the rotation Of corn
with alfalfa or clover pasture, are the
three outstanding elements in his sue
cess.
Farmers about Workman's home say
the honor came Of hard work, and his
wife adds, enthusiasm that kept him
out Of bed at night while all the rest of
us slept" porting over his grains with
the same rapture that holds a miser.
I'm a crank" Mr. workman said.
You can't raise prize corn for rs years
and not be a crank"
Yet for all his corn growing and prize
winning he has never seen a perfect ear
of corn.
Never" he said. "have I seen a per-
feet ear. Not one of the ten ears I
sent to Chicago was perfect. All /
could do was to take the very best I
had and hope they would stand UP be-
side others. In every ear / could see

Corn should not be planted for more
than five years in succession in the

custom is to raise corn, in parcel of
land four or five years, and then to
plant it in alfalfa and clover and make
it pasture land for ten or'twelve years,
renewing the land.
