The Bow of IL.

The three children were on the
street car on their way TO school-a
boy and two younger sisters. The Sis
tiers disputed who was to push the
button to notify the street car con-
ductor to stop the car. The older sis
ter won and held her finger on the
button for more than block. Then
her brother rose, pulled her hand
away arbitrarily and pushed the but
ton. The older sister stepped into
the vestibule, followed by her sister,
to be the first to step off the car. AS
1t stopped, the brother brushed them
aside and led the way. The sisters
having allghted, waited for the car to
go on, but the boy rushed across the
tracks, ignoring the warning changing
of the bell by the motorman.

ORANGE COUNTY FARM BUREAU

Notes for week ending July 2, 1921.
Visits were made this week to
most of the crop demonstration
plots. On account of the long drouth
many of the fields are backward but
have started to grow again since the
rain came. With proper weather it
is hoped that all of the demonstra-
tions will be successful and furnish
the valuable data looked for.
Calls have been made on some of
the potato growers who are keeping
cost accounts on this years crop. 1t
is pleasing to note the interest with
which the records are being kept.
One record was placed with a grower
for use on next years crop.
A few more Farm Account books
have been secured for the county
summary. Anyone who has not sent
in their book and can do so before
July Is it would be greatly APP
preciated.
1t is expected that the new Home
Demonstration Agent will arrive dur
ing the coming week. An effort will
be made to acquaint her with the
county and the local people in the
respective communities so that she
will lose no time in accomplishing
effective work.

And she coquettishly displayed the

Samson could never refuse Delilah

Marble Cheaper Than Wood.

A report to Washington from the
American commercial attache in Rome
is to the effect that American lumber
has gone to such price heights in the
Italian market that builders find it
cheaper to put in marble staircases
than to build them Of wood. Such is
the combined effect of mill cost, plus
freight rates, multiplied by the ex-
change premium of four TO one that
Italian buyers have to pay to trans

Microbes in Sugar Bowl.

About one per cent of the Cuban
sugar crop, valued at $1,500O00, is
each year destroyed by greedy micro
organisms too small to be seen except
when congregated in crowds of mil
lions. Mods and bacteria are the
culprts. 1t is estimated that each
person in the United States consumes
S1.S4 pounds of sugar each year. At
this rate, $4,000 persons could be sup
piled with the sugar destroyed by
germs. The sugar loses its sweetness
when the molds consume the sucrose,

BY WAY OF COMPARISON.

All things are said to go by com-
parison. A basis of comparison does
at least provide a starting point from
which appreciation may be reached
concerning subject with which
there has been no acquaintance. And
so by way of comparison the Com
missioner of Education is offering
these figures.
In 1920 the people of the United
States spent for luxuries $22,700,-
100000, more than twenty-five times
as much as was spent for the whole
educational program of the nation.
Of this immense sum devoted to the
purchase of on-essentials, S800,000,-
600 went for cigarettes, $4,000, 900
for cigars and S800,000,000 for tobac-
co and snuff, an immense sum to be
expended for materials to be lost in
smoke. Chewing gum absorbed $780,
100000 of the nations money, ice
cream $3.50, 100000, and face powder
and other cosmetics and perfumes,
S750,000,000.
There are items in the cash account
of the general public that will bear
scrutiny with useful result if there
is determination to cut from it even
part of the waste expense and to
apply the saving to something con-
structive. In any event it is not
amiss to know that the nation spends
for things that nobody needs, things
whose effect is at best dubious, more
than twenty times as much as is
provided by the tax levy for the edu-
cation of the youth OF the land to
make of them useful and effective
ictizens.

Welding Optical Glass.

The improved method of welding
optical glass worked out at the Unit
ed States bureau of standards, gives
perfect union with practically no dis
tortion, and is adapted. for many pur-
poses, such as making glass cells and
hollow prisms, joining lenses and clos
ing glass tubes with accurately fit
ting fiat ends. The shaped-glass OBJ
ject Is heated in an electric furnace
to the annea1ing point, when the appli-

the edges to be united produces a quick
