a stiff wire nearly feet long and
run it in the end of a cob that L
have soaked in the oil, and it is the
best thing have ever tried. Under
roosts, in the corners, under the
nests those flames go, and you can
be quick enough to keep from set

one mite. but that will not Keep me
from doing the same thing in a

sort. Coal oil will certainly keep

She had just turned sixteen, and,
of course, she wanted to entertain her
friends. 1t was nearly HalloWe' enss so
her mother suggested a Cinderella
party. Such fun!
Five girls and six boys were in,
vited, the hostess herself made the
sixth girl. The invitations were lit
tie pumpkin-shaped and pumpkin col
ored cards which told the guests
against allowing boy guest to es-
cort her.
when they arrived, each girl was
told to select hiding place and write
directions for reaching it on a small
card supplied her by the hostess.
The boys who arrived, according to
invitations, fifteen miuues later, were
each given q lantern and a card
and told to seek a partner. When
discovered, each girl was clad in a
domino, her face concealed.
Then, with the girls still wearing
the dominoes with faces concealed,
the guests went into the living room
where they roasted mashmaliows,
told stories andShad contests such as
being blindfolded and picking beans
from the peas in small pan. A prize
was given to the one who had the
most beans at the end Of ten min
ntes.
Soon a fairy godmother entered
with a black roasting pan filled with
wood ashes. In the ashes were bur-
led various fortune-telling devices

make money, ring for the girl who
would soon be wed, O thimhle for the
one who would never be wed, trunk
for the boy who would travel, heart
for the girl in love. and SO on: Every
thing was tiny as possibl and mex
pensive, and was kept as a favor.
Just before midnight the girls Went
upstairs and each dropped over the
railing a ribbon to. the ends Of which
were tied tiny slippers. Each boy
took slipper and followed the rib
bon to the girl who held it, who on
the stroke Of twelve threw off her

Harriet felt suddenly that she had

Charley sat silent waiting for her

Southern Promotes
Sour Cream Diaries
AS Farming Assets

Sour cream dairying is being ad-
vocated by the development service
Of the Southern Railway system and
the Mobile and Ohio railroad as a
means to enable the average farmer
Of the south to get away from the
one-crop system and attendant cred
it evils and at the same time to i'm
prove his soil so as to grow staple
crops more profitably.
"These results can be obtained
wherever farmers will take up dairy
ing, selling their cream and feeding
the skim milk to poultry and hogs"
says General Agricultural Agent
Roland Turner. This does not mean
that farmers should give up general
farming for dairying, but that ev-
cry farmer should keep a few cows.
"Creameries at a number of stra-
tegic points in the south are already
operating successfully, affording
markets for cream to farmers with
in shipping distance. The develop
ment service Of the Southern has as
sisted in the establishment of a
creamery at Ashburn, Ga, to be open
ed October 1, and 1t is hoped that
the number of milk cows on south
ern farms will be increased suffi-
GENTLY in the near future to war
