than the lecture or text book.
The most successful home demon
stration agents, according to the cir
cular, aim to train local leaders who,
oy putting the best practices into their
own homes, extend the instruction to
larger numbers Of women. At least
two-thirds Of the agents time is spent
with farm women in their homes, dis
cussing the varied problems Of house
keeping and other matters in which
farm women are interested Aside
from interesting women in better
home management, modern convent
ences, food production and preserva-
ton, better food for the family, home
nursing, and the selection and making
Of clothing, the agents are devoting
their efforts to promoting community
enterprises.
Three types Of such enterprises are
developed: The economic type which
includes food preservation, the hot
school lunch, cooperative laundries,
cooperative buying and selling asso-
Citations, labor-saving devices, and sal
wage shops. The social type is CON
cerned with such things as recreation
centers, civil improvements, and rest
rooms. The educational type en-
braces farm home tours, libraries, and
magazine circles and the like.

One Of Oceans Biggest Fishes.

The turbot Is one Of the largest of
the flat fishes, and one Of the species
that is Of most value commercially
It is seldom over two feet long, and
weighs about 18 pounds, although 90
pound turbot have been caught. It's
body Is very fiat and wide, with a
long fin on the top and bottom ridges.
It's upper surface is brown, and COW
cred with hard. round knobs.
The turbot is sea fish, and its
eggs-five or 100000 to fish-foat

where 1t lies on it's lighter side. Both
the eyes are ION the upper side of the

Prepared by the United States Depart

Home demonstration work, though
comparatively new, Is looked upon as
permanent, so beneficial have been
the results obtained by home demon
Aeration agents working in rural
homes. The fundamental purpose OF
this work, according to a report just
Issued by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, is to assist the
rural housewife to apply business
principles to her daily tasks for the
purpose Of making the farm home as
efdcient as the farm, thereby produc-

In 1915, 1t became a co operative
movement supported, by federal, state
and local funds. During that year
tour agents were appointed. In 1919
the number had grown to more than
200. Then war emergency funds were
cut oil, and In the following year the
number dropped to 2s8. Although in
this one year the force Of workers
rs well as state and federal funds
were reduced nearly one-half. the ap-
spropriations made by the local people
for home demonstration work nearly
doubled, and agents were retained in

A Remedy for Ennui.

New York Sun: Nothing used to
bore me as much as listening to long
sermons and speeches." said the stu
dent 1T was hard for me to keep
awake. Now the longest and driest
speech does not alright me, because l
have borrowed scheme from my
honored friend, Ophid Iananus, the
Finnish composer.
1sWhen he first. came to this country,
Mr. Iananus did not understand Eng
lish very well, but noticed that when
we attended lectures together he show
ed no signs of ennui, although I was
bored stiff.
.My curiosity was aroused and
said to him, 'Ophid, how do you keep
awake when you listen to a dull lee
ture in an almost unknown tongue p
We'll, he answered, 4 know the al
phabet.'
II was too staggered to ask what
connection there was, when he saw
my look Of amazement and said:
When the speaker starts in, wait
until he says characterization or
alcohol or. some other word beginning
with A. Then I wait until he says
been or bull fight or some other
word beginning with B. In this way
/ go through the whole alphabet, with
the exception of @, x and 2, and start
over again. In an hour the average
speaker finishes up the alphabet twice
and gets about as far as L or NJ in
the third round. Try it yourself and
see if it don't keep you awake
Since adopting this suggestion
have managed to keep awake during
all sorts of speeches, and every one
to whom have passed Ophid Iananus'
hint has proited by it. A statesman
whose name I am not at liberty to
divulge tells me he is sorry he had not
heard Of the scheme before, as it
would have enabled him to keep awake
during the peace conference"

Poor Richards Plan.

Something more than $50 years ago
Benjamin Franklin, the greatest
American philosopher, gave in his
Poor Richards Almanac" plan for
saving 100000 pounds sterling, ap-
proximately 100000. His sugges-
lions are as good today as they were
then. His plan was thus set forth:
AS spent some weeks last winter
in visiting my old acquaintance in the
Jerseys, great complaints heard for
want OF money, and that leave to make
more paper bills could not be obtained.
Friends and countrymen, my advice
sOn this head shall cost YOU nothing;
and If you will not be angry with me
for giving it, | promise you not to be
soAsMded if you do not take it.
You spend yearly at least two
hundred thousand pounds, it is said,
In European, East Indian, and West
Indian commodities. Suppose one
half of this expense to be in things
absolutely necessary, the. other half
may be called superfuities, or at least
conyeniences, which, however, you
might live without for one little year,
and not suffer exceedingly. Now. to
save this half, : observe these few
drscticns: 81:
81. When you incline to have new
wluthes, look first well over the old
ores, and see if you cannot shift with
them another year, either by securing,
mending, or even patching If neces-
%sary. Remember, a patch on your
coat, and money in your pocket, is
better and more creditable than writ
ton your back, and no money to take it
off.
"2. When you are inclined to buy
China ware, chintzes, India silks. or
any other Of their flimsy, slight manu-
features, it would not be SO bad with
you as. to insist on your Absolutely
resolving against it; all advise is,
to put it off las you do your repent
ance) till another year; and this, in
some respects, may prevent an occa-
sion of repentance.
g. If you are now drinker of
punch, wine or tea, twice day, for
sthe ensuing year drink them but once
"a day. If you drink them but once
"a day, do it but every other day. If
you do it now but once week, reduce
the practice to once fortnight. And.
if you do not exceed in quantity as you
lesson the times, half your expense in
these articles will be saved.
When you incline TO drink rum
I'LL the glass half with water.

be hundred thousand pounds more
money IN your country.

Cultivate Distinct Speech.

Let us consider clear and distinct
enunciation as contrasted with other
kinds. Talking distinctly is one of the
finest Of human accomplishments. The
Association Of the Hard of Hearing, at
a recent meeting, urged the cultiva-
ton of lip-reading by those inclined
to deafness. Talking with the lips Is
as good for those who talk as 1t is for
those who listen. The finest and clear
est enunciation IL by those who enun-
ciate with the lower lip and the

The Source of Motor Trouble

VOU do not look into your

Automobile motors require a

uct varies because of changing
qualities of the crude oil from
which it is refined, your gaso-
line is one-sided. Every oil

Although Maryland dropped from
eleventh place in the United States
in 1890, under the Ayres Index sys
TEN, to thirty-foufth in 1918, her rank
for 1921 will be materially raised.

the Bureau of Educational Measure
ments of the State Department Of
Education, under the direction Of
Miss Bessie c. Stern, statistician. and
Miss I. Jewell Simpson assistant di

This improvement. according to the

lation Of 1920 giving State aid TO the
two and three year high schools and
the increasing OF teachers salaries,
with its subsequent renewal Of edu-
cational interest on the part of both
teachers and students. This is espe-
cially true of the Baltimore city
