Eastern states get only one-thirti eth
OF their income from agriculture and
must therefore depend upon food sup
plies brought from the West. The
Western states, and most of the
Southern states, get about onc-third
of their income from agriculture,
and must therefore ship food extern
sively in exchange for manufac tred
products.
Detailed figures from the Eas.

New York, Aug. 20.-Illinois with
&,962 100000 as the annual aggre-
gate income of it's citizens leads the
North-Central States, according to
compilations which have been an
nounced at the headquarters of the
National Bureau of Economic Re-
search, New York. Illinois receives
seven and one-half percent of the ma
tion's income, figure which is ex-
ceeded only by New York and Penn
sylvania. Pennsylvania ranks Sec
ond with $5,95S, 100000, while New
York tops the list with little more
than $9,000,O00,OOO. These data are
taken from advance sheets of re-

Our Appetite Then and Now


a young woman at dances: IN

very seldom accepts.
Because il was considered bet

pecially the women guests. that

OF assuring your guests that they

among certain old-schoOl folk. Il
is decidedly old-fashioned AMI

II your guest actually eats very
little. IL may be that she is not
feeling hungry and would be made
uncomfortable 20 be forced TO eat
more. The kindest thing the
hostess can do is not 10 direct at
tention TO the situation. Make
sure that the guest has been pro-
vided with the various dishes OF

What To DO

you may find the cat almost as
much trouble as the mice. a little
money and pains expended for
traps and pOisons ought 10 do the
trick without the cat Remember
that usually mice seek shelter in
doors only in cold weather. The
time TO fight them is when days
and nights are first beginning TO be
frosty. Remember, too. that eff
fort spent in November is worth
many times as much effort spent
in December and December effort
is better worth while than that Of
January. DO your trapping before

In our nursery rhymes we spoke

three blind mice. not TO mention
the mouse that ran under the

Seemingly there are few
housewives still who take mice

the tendency is 20 look upon mice
as one looks upon reaches and
other unmentionable insects as
something with which we should
not be on terms OF intimacy. In a
modern house that you enjoy all
