TWO STILLS DESTROYED NRAR
BIG HILL ROAD

On Friday, July %, q party of
five men, headed by Sheriff Bill
Johnson. destroyed two stills in the
vic Unity Of Big Hill, in Jackson
county. The stills were located
about 300 yards apart on the west
side Of the ridge several hundred
yards south Of the Big Hill road.
Neither one was in operation at the
time they were discovered, tho it was
evident that they had not been
abandoned for long. The machinery
Of the first one found was in order,
watts were mixed and the kettle was
ready for use. Some members of
the posse believed that the operators
would be back on the job within a
few hours and wanted to leave the
still undisturbed until after night
fall, when they might return TO cap
ture the violators, but the sheriff
ordered that il be torn up.
The other still was not entirely
ready for immediate use, but sufii-
cent equipment appeared to be on
the scene. and only lacked some re-
placing.
Both stills were located on Berea
College land.

The Town Transformed

A town where every citizen nut one painted his house, made repairs of the premises, fixed up his lawn, and ar ranged flower and vegetable gardens was described by c. P. Chase, who visited the town of Greenfield, Iowa. and the visible results of the Clean Up and Paint-Up Campaign there are remarkable, says MT. Chase.
 Greenfield has 5000 inhabitants and this propaganda for a more beautiful city was started by local newspaper, taken up by the Commercial club and backed by the city officials. Every house in the city with single ex- ception was repainted. All porches, windows, fences, sidewalks, and other things in disrepair were attended to-. Then refuse, ashes and other waste were cleaned up. Attention was then turned to lawns and gardens and the result, says MT. Chase, is one of the neatest and most attractive towns he has ever seen.-Clinton Uowa) Ad- vertiser.

keep the weeds cut and the refuse cleaned up.
 Citizens accustomed to seeing such eyesores in the vicinity of their homes generally soon cease to notice them, but strangers passing by do not fail to note them and charge their ugli- ness against the whole city and be- sides, persons thinking of moving into the neighborhood or buying home there are repelled by such ugliness and are moved to go elsewhere. In that way the vacant lot is detriment to all neighboring property and many a house is sold for enough less than it is worth, because of such surround ings, to have paid for keeping such lots like city park for years. Prop erty owners in neighborhoods where such lots exist are penny wise and pound foolish when they do not put an end to their ugliness. It costs them real money when they want to sell their property.

TAKE look around the city and
 note the appearance of lots not built upon or incorporated within the yard of some home. Unless something recently has been done about it every such lot is fright to behold, and it is a menace to health.
 It is sad sight to see well-kept home, with lawn and flowers, and right next to it a lot grown up to weeds and harboring cans, old news papers, and junk of all kinds. It usu- ally belongs to some owner not living in the neighborhood, but occasionally the owner of such a lot actually lives next door and has not the sense of neatness, the love for beautiful sur roundings nor even the knowledge that such state of affairs is men, ace to the health of his family, that will prompt him to convert it into a lawn or playground, or at least to

CLOSE INSPECTION OF OIL
 PUMPS MADE BY STATE

Owners of measuring pumps at gas oline service stations would do well to frequently test their own pumps in or der to ascertain their accuracy, ac- cording to State Inspector Raymond Dyas, of the weights and measures de- partment, as such inspection may pre- vent the pumps from being condemn ed for adjustment or repair when the inspector comes around.
 Lack of frequent inspection by the pump owners themselves" says h. spector Dyas, "often results in the state inspector or city sealer, in his rounds, finding the pumps inaccurate, and in this event, under the law, there remains nothing for the inspector to do but to condemn the pump for re- pair, and prohibit it's use until the pump is adjusted to correct measure"
 "A service station pump, in the eyes of the law, is nothing more than a liquid measure with device for ele- vating or discharging stated quan- tity of gasoline or oil, and as such must be as accurate as any other liquid measure is required to be" stated Inspector Dyas. of pump owners will themselves make frequent inspection of their apparatus, and see that same is maintained in state of accuracy, they will quite often be able to avoid having the pump tied up by the sealers."
 Inspector Dyas recommends that pump owners secure liquid measures of from one to five gallons capacity, have these tested by the department of weights and measures or by the city sealer, and then use them as test ing measures on their own pumps.

 When the melons are half grown Chandler will plug each melon and in- sert in the cavity from which the plug

comes a special yeast of his own ere ation. The rind part of the plug will then be replaced, covered with graft ing wax and sealed in place with ad- hesive strips. According to Chandler, the yeast acts on the natural sugar content of the melon and immediately begins to develop alcohol in the tissues. It also stimulates the growth of the melon to tremendous degree.
