THE JULY CLUB PROGRAM

In general, the Delaware boys and
girls club members should be getting
ready for the fall fairs during the
month of July.
The county club agents will supply
all club members, thru their local
leaders, with instructions on exhibit
ing, judging and demonstration club
work, as provided for in the premium
lists of the fair. With the assistance
of the County Agricultural Agents, as
their time will permit, and the local.
leaders, they will help to select teams
and train them so that they can ex-
hibit, demonstrate and judge with con-
fidence.
The pig club members should have
their hogs vaccinated against hog
cholera, otherwise they will not be
permitted to exhibit them at the fairs.
Permanent immunity can be secured
by means of the so called double
treatment" which should be done at
least one month before the hog is to
be exhibited. The single treatment
can be safely used a very few days
before the animal is to be exhibited,
which immunity will protect the ami
NAL from hog cholera for possibly 80
days. A competent veterinarian
should be secured to do this work.
The Delaware State Fair Board re-
quires that all dairy stock exhibited
this year shall have successfully pass
ed the tuberculin test. While all club
stock has been tested, yet if any doubt
EXISTS as to the meaning of this rul-
ing, club members should take the
matter up with the County Agricul-
tural Agents at an early date.

Care Of Carpet Sweepers.

The carpet sweeper should be emp
tied every sweeping day and never put
away full of dirt 1t may be opened
over newspaper. The brush should
be taken out and freed from dust and
dirt with the fingers or coarse comb
and rinsed in soapsuds and dried after
being replaced, says the Christian
Herald.
When the rubber tires on the wheels
become worn they may not assist the
brush to reyolye with sufficient
strength to do good work. New tires
NAV be obtained from the manufactur
er or thick rubber bands bought from
stationer may be substituted, Re
move the old tires and adjust the new
ones with glue and cement New
brushes may be obtained from the
manufacturer and with care a good
carpet sweeper should last q lifetime.
A toy carpet sweeper is great con
yenience, as it may be kept at hand
and carried from place to place. In
the sewing room il is especially use
full as it can be used to gather up all
ravellings and threads without stoop

INSURANCE AGAINST
CIVIL CONNECTION LOSS
Insurance Companies Are Doing a Brisk
Business in That Line of Work
in Ireland.

Dublin, Jan 3.-lnsurance companies
mostly English. have done a brisk bust
ness in Ireland in issuing policies
against loss due to civil eommotion.
Everybody has an uneasy feeling
that his house is safe from the eonse-
duences of the conflict between the gov
eminent and its enemies Many per
sons have suffered whom nobody in
tended TO iniure. The market for in
surauee policies, therefore, has been
very active.
The ordinary fire and accident pol
icies expressly exclude damage from
the results of civil war of disturbances
Of public order which the new policies
are meant to cover 1t has been discov.
cred however, that a clause in many
of the new policies might render them
valueless and leave a victim who had
paid his premium no better of than be-
fore.
1t IS provided that in order to re-
cover loss the sufferer must be able
to show that neither he nor any of his
servants has been a member Of an lille
gal organization responsible for dis
turbance On the face OF it this seems
reasonable, but there are very many in
di~duals and stll more important
firms who could not answer for the po-
litica affiliations of all the members of
their stats
Lately some of the most respectable
firms in Dublin owned by unionists and
wealthy men uneonnected with politics
have been raided by the forces Of the
crown in search Of suspected employees
whose private affairs were entirely un
known to their employers. II these EN- |
ployers started roofing out the Sim |
Feiners from their stats the unpopu-
larity thereby provoked might easily |
ruin their business The facts throw an |
