familiar sight in the waters about An

Der of years as training ship for
midshipmen and also as official sta

I'VE learn with deepest pain that
the mud of the harbor is working its

Elevated Railroad for Cuba.

Why anyone In Cuba wants an ele-
waited railroad thrusting its steel
props through the palm fronds and
making the tropic night hideous with
shrieking and rumbling is a puzzle to
an inhabitant of a northern city, but
one thing is clear from an item In a
Havana newspaper. Controversy has
begun long before the first riveter has
put the lustiest tom-tom heaters of
the island to shame. The question now
under discussion is: Shall state, prov
ince and municipality share the ex-
pense of construction with the trac-
ton company? Strikes, legislative
inquiries and franchise suits may
follow.

which contained it. "Have you mott

near by. "When you e dollar bills
with creases in 'em, times are hard
and money is scarce People don't

when its plentiful and easy to get.
Phi bet you a dollar myself that half

To remove paint spots from win
dows rub with steel wool.
When you feel cross, go rest a few
minutes and you will usually find
your good nature restored.
Do not talk about a child in his
presence, he hears you even though
he may not seem to.
1t is perfectly safe to order goods
direct from the dealers advertising
in the Progressive Farmer or other
reliable papers,,
A few drops of cologne or toilet
vinegar in the bath water is most
refreshing on hot days.
Are you tired of that pale colored
sweater? Then why not dye it with
one of the soap dyes you see adver-
tised. 1t will look like new.
To keep the oil stove looking clean
and bright, wipe it off with a soft
cloth moYtened with a few drops of
sewing machine oil: if there is rust
remove it with kerosene.
With soap so cheap it is strange
there are homes with squeaking doors
and sticking bureau drawers. Just
rub it on the edge.
We are always glad to receive the
experience letters from farm wives,
but doubly glad to receive those that
give definite, practical help to other
women.
Plant some kale, New Zealand spin
ach, mustard, and radishes for fresh
greens in the autumn months. They
will not only taste well but will save
the canned foods for use later in the
season.
Select the handsomest cockerels
now and give them special care so
that you will have one worthy of
showing at the fair. A bird with
white plumage should be kept in a
shady run for some weeks before ex-
hibition time so he will not be sun
burned.
The United States Public Health
Service calls attention to the fact
that only 20 states have efficient
birth registration laws, 18 have i'm
