Skowhegan, Nov. lion Friday
the preparation for the trip to Au-
gusta by the S. H. S. pupils and the
large number Of citizens who will
leave here Saturday afternoon at
12.4O on a special train, went mer-
rily on, and everything will be in
, prim order by the starting time
John H. Jenkins of the Rotary club
| committee will have charge of the
band on the trip and the parade. He
will hand over the money so far col
| lected for tickets on the special train
this Saturday noon to Carl Holt, a
Rotarian, and he will then be the
| finance man of the trip. 1t is hoped
that a very large number will avail
! themselves of the special train as
all above the expenses of the train
will be turned over to the school.
The committee has estimated that
every % who 60 above the expense
of the train will make the sum of
SIG for the train and that if four
hundred should go by special train
the club would be able to present
to the school the sum of S196.
The team itself is in fine trim and
has been putting in splendid work,
done better and the boys say none
i harder. and yet they have not ne
elected their studies the past week

necessary for them to put the foot

SCARED IN HIS OWN HOME
But Perhaps If he Hadn't Been a
Vacation WidoWer 1t Wouldnt
Have Happened.

A fat-dweller's family had gone out
of town for vacation. For two weeks
the head OF the house kept bachelors
hall. At the end of the first day he
dined downtown. At a late hour he
let himself into his lonely home.
The dark, deserted rooms seemed
unusually large and lonesome. With
out turning on the lights in the en-
trance hall, he crossed tC his own
room, pushed open the door and en-
tered 1t was dark, but he knew ev
cry inch of space, and he soon found
and pressed the light button.
Instantly from just back of him
there arose a terrifying roar. The man
jumped with surprising alacrity to one
side. The room remained dark The
roar continued.
He hurried into the hall and quickly
switched on every light in reach. The
explanation was surprisingly simple.
His wife, just before leaving the fiat,
had been using the vacuum cleaner
and had forgotten to detaCh it. Heard
in the darkness and without warning,
the roar is good imitation of a me-

DAIRY
POINTS
IMPORTANCE OF ICING MILK
Product Delivered at Night often in
Greater Need of Ice Than
During Day Time.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Some milk distributors who would
not think of sending out loads of milk
during the day without icing do not
ice the milk delivered by their wagons
to the consumers doOrsten at night,
giving as their reason that night de-
livery is more rapid, The United
States Department of Agriculture, in
a recent statement calls attention to
the fact that milk delivered to the
consumers home at night often is in
greater need of icing than that which
Is delivered during the day.
The important consideration says
the department, is the time elapsing
between taking "She milk from the
plant until it is placed in the con-,
sumer's refrigerator. The fact that
the dealer delivers it quickly does not
mean that it will reach the refriger-
atOr quickly Bottles delivered at the
door usually are not taken in until
after the sun has been up for some
time.
During the summer months it is
very important that milk on delivery
wagons be well iced. When milk is
liable not to be taken in at once, 1t
should arrive at the doorstep at a
temperature of 80 degrees +. or lower.
If the ordinary open-bottom cases are
used and stacked not more than two
high, it is necessary to ice only the
top row, as the cold air will pass down
to the others. Ordinances, says the
department, may well prohibit the de-
livery Of milk at a temperature higher
t!an so degrees f.
Consumers may help by placing a
properly insulated container on the
doorstep, in whic' the mikman may
put the bottles of milk.

Surplus war material valued at
$139, 713,9S6 was delivered to the states
for use in road construction up to
July l, reports the bureau of public
roads, United States Department of
Agriculture. The material which con
sisted of all sorts Of supplies and
equipment suitable for road building
for which the War department had
no further need, was distributed on
the same basis as monetary federal
aid.
In value of material delivered, Texas
and New York lead with nearly $S,-
100000 worth of material, and every
state with the exception of five of
the smaller ones received supplies
valued at over $1,000,000.
This material has beer of great
value in road construction, and there
is hardly county in the United States
in which some Of it has not been
used.
Probably of greatest value has been
the 29,325 motor vehicles distributed,
consisting of 24,752 trucks and 4,573
automobiles, and in addition IA large
number Of tractors.
The system of distribution has been
so arranged that the states requisition
only material useful to them. In
some cases they fall behind in alot-
ments in order to wait for material
particularly desired. Many of the
states have shown great ingenuity in
conditioning worn equipment, using
war material to equip shops in which
other war material is made suitable
for use.
There is still large quantity of ma
terial in this country for distribution.
This will be further increased by ma.
terial used by the army Of occupation
in Germany soon to be brought back.

that he determines to do his own tan
ming. For example In certain large
sections of the country farmer can
hardly give away the hides he has,
yet leather in small pieces costs him
from 81 to S1.50 a pound. To help
him in such emergencies the United
States Department of Agriculture has
just issued Department Circular 230
Home Tanning, which gives detailed
directions for making leather for vari-
Gus purposes.
Best Way Of Handling.
With the issuance of this publica-
ton the department now has for dis
tribution, information on the handling
of hides from the SHINING of the
animal to the care Of the leather in
the finished article such as harness,
belts, boots, and shoes. Farmers
Bulletin 1865, Country Hides and
Skins: SHINING, Curing and Market
ing, recently revised and reprinted for
the third time tells how to perform
these operations in the most efficient
manner. In Farmers Bulletin 1888,
The Care of Leather, also recently
revised and reprinted, are directions
for making leather last longer. Any,
or all, of these bulletins, including
the new circular, may be obtained
free by writing to the Department of
Agriculture, Washington, d. G.
Suggestions as to Rates.
In the circular just issued the farmer
who wishes to do tanning on a small
scale may find explicit directions for
making bark-tanned sole and harness
leather, chrome-tanned leather, and
alum-tanned lace leather. But in case
lie wishes to have the tanning done
for him he will find suggestions as to
the usual practices, rates, and meth
DDS of payment. 1t is the custom
among some tanners who do work for
farmers having only a few hides to
tan hide for half the leather. That
is, the farmer sends in hide and gets
back one-half of it made into leather,
usually paying the shipping charges

A list of tanneries that will tan one
or more hides for farmers may be

When high prices are charged for
leather in small quantities it is usually
DOSSible to buy at q cOmDaratiVely
low price by taking more at a time. If
a side Of leather is bought, instead
of a couple of pounds at a time says
the circular, it is often possible to
buy it at only 10 to 20 per cent above
wholesale prices.

SWEET CLOVER GOOD SILAGE
Growing Of This Kind Of Hay Provides

Sweet clover, as you know, spoils

crops most difficult to put up in good

the growing of this kind of hay not
only provides valuable forage for both

the soil wonderfully.
