DUTY OF DAIRYMEN.
Should Weed Out Cows Which Do Not

During and since the war we have been
hearing whole lot about the sins of
protiteering. What shall we call the COW

the cost of her keep, asks John 4. Hitch
cock. extension specialist in dairying of
the University of Vermont and state ag-
ricultural college. There are only too
many cows in the state that belong in
just that class. There is just one way
to find out what animals are worth keep

the milk produced and the feed consumed.
Many men have been enabled through
COW test associations to increase their
profit by getting rid of the cows that
were not producing 'prOfitably. There are

Are You Giving a Halloween Party
This Year?

Verify life is what we make it. If we
make it jolly, it is a happy life; if we
never seek diversion of the company
of friends. it is bound to be dreary. If
any woman who is reading this has
never given a party-or doesn't give
them frequently want to advise
her strongly to begin giving them
right now, starting with Halloween
party on the thitty-first.
/ Il don't give them because I can't
afford to give parties" / know some
| of you are saying. in protest. The
| kind of party 1 refer to, however. is
| not the expensive kind: it is the kind
| that is in the reach of all. If you
can't afford Streamers of black and
yellow crepe paper to decorate with,
| then bring in some autumn leaves
| (and, if possible, cornStalks), and
| dress up the house with these. That
| takes care of the atmosphere of your
Halloween party.
| Refreshments are the next consider
alton. These, of course, do require
some monetary output-but they need
i not be elaborate refreshments. Just
! sandwiches, fruit punch, macaroonS,
| nuts and homemade candies are all
| that are necessary. The money for
these may be saved in some way-by
walking to save carfare. for. in

There is always some way, to save for

When We have our decorations

saved up, the rest is smooth sailing.
games-wi1I be our third and last
consideration, Games don't cost any
thing, and yet they are the best part
of a party. If you engineer your
guests into a merry whirl of games.
they won't know what the decorations
are, nor what they have eaten at the
refreshment hour: they will be hav-
ing too good time.
Next Monday i am going to devote
this entire column to directions for
games suitable to play on Halloween.

cap, long false hair made out of a
piece Of rope raveled out. and a piece
of white material around the neck to

will take turns standing between the

the artificial brilliancy of the city
wearies the eye. and one longs for
the soft greens and sky blues which
are a part of the greater painting.
So the thoughtful designer frames his
autumn leaf frocks with 4 few rest
full models of the more neutral tones
which are always assured of a place
in popular approval. whether the sea

blacks and whites.

can visualize. 1t combines the limpid

is something about Jade which fascl-

in the background by more glaring
tones Neither does it detraCt from
the personality of the wearer as
brilliant fabrics often do by COM
me- nding attention to themselves.

trimming and color contrast which
blends artistically with the jade back
