Need For Better Methods OF Home

Results of surveys In Lafayette
and Saline Counties, Mo-, have re-
Gently been tabulated by extension
workers of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, to show
the need for demonstration work in
improved methods Of washing and
ironing. In Saline County, only 2
per cent of the people sent the
washing out of the house, rs per
cent still used the washboard, 40
per cent used hand machines. and
33 per cent used power washers.
The average time for doing wash
ing with a power machine was 2
hours, as compared with Az hours
with a washboard. In 10 families
where machines have been purchas-
ed since the survey was made, 1t is
estimated that "a hours week. or
1873 hours year. are saved in each
household,
In Lafayette County. 96 per cent
of the washing was done at home.
The tub and dashboard method was
used by 20 per cent. hand-power
machines by "a per cent, 81 per
cent had gasoline washing machines
and 16 per cent had machines oper'
ated by an electric motor. Clothes

of that used to do 1t by tub and
dashboard method.
Similar comparisons between HAND
ironing, both with and without al

iron took 61a hours and cost j.
cents for electricity. To iron q

Kentucky Wheat Contains Bad Mix
tire OF Varieties

The majority of seed wheat sown
in Kentucky during the last year
has been a mixture of three or
more varieties. according to Ralph
Kenney, a member of the College
of Agriculture agronomy depart
ment. This factor, no doubt, mas
contributed toward the low yields
which have been obtained in some
sections of the State. Pure seed
invariably yields higher than mix
ture of several strains, he added.
"At the present time, seed from
Ashland, the new pedigreed and
high yielding variety developed at
the Kentucky Agricultural Expert
ment Station, is the purest to be
found in the State. Despite the
wide distribution of this strain
over Kentucky. an inspection OF W
fields of It during the present sum
mer showed that It contained less
than one per cent OF amy other
wheat in nine out of every ten
fields where II was grown.

GRAVEL. ROAD ASSURED
OA enao - VA XNinn

AUrII ON, lJ@A.~s -
Editor Brandon News:
The Legislature has appropr,a-
ted S6,0OO.00 10 gravel The puniic
road on the Rankin State Farna.
The Bill also provides that me
Grading of the road and laying CT
fhe gravel shall be done by the
state cOnvicts and state teams.
This insures a first class gravel
road through the state farm and
it will be great help not only 10
the state, but also to those citl-
Gems who live in the vicinity of the
state farm and have to cross
through the farm to GO to Jack
son or come to Brandon.
The Bill was introduced in the
Senate by Senator Bradshaw and
after being passed through the
senate, went to the House and was
passed through the efforts OF Re
representatives. Watts and Ware.
This Bill means a net saving TO
the fax PAYERS of this district OF
about S12.0OO.O0. After the Bill
was passed, a few short sighted
citizens cf Rankin County, tried
to get the Governor TO veto it, A
petition asking the Governor u
veto the Bill as circulated and 4
great many people signed it be-
cause of misinformati0n.
Senator Bradshaw and Repre-
sentatives Watts and Ware de-
Eerve much Ira,ise for their ener-
getic effort to put this bill through
the Legislature, likewise Governor
Russell deserves commnndatio1
for approving the Bill.
The Legislature has appropri-
ated money for travelling the
on the other state farms and there
is no reason why this farm road
should not be gravelied.
/ am writing these few lines
that the people of the county may
understand the situation.
Very sincerely,
S. l.. McLaurin.

Synopsis.-Harriet Field, twenty
eight years old, and beautiful, is
the social secretary of the flirta-
ious Mrs. Isabel Carter, at
"Crownlands," Richard Carter's
home, and governess of seventeen
year-old Nina Carter. Ward, twen-
ty-four years old and impression
able, fancies himself in love with
his mothers attractive secretary.
Mrs. Carter's latest affair is with
young Anthony Pope, and the
youth is taking 1t very seriously.
Presiding over the teacups this
summer afternoon, Harriet is pro-
foundly disturbed by the arrival Of
a visitor, Royal Blondin. Next
day, at a tea party in the city,
Blondin makes himself agreeable
to Nina, and leaves a deep impress
sion on the unsophisticated girl.
Harriet's agitation over the appear
ance of Blondin at "Crownlands"
is explained by the fact that he
had been a disturbing element in
her life ten years before and she
fears him. The man is an avowed
adventurer, living on the gullibility
Of the idle rich. He frankly an
nounces to Harriet his intention of
marrying Nina, and urges her to
aid him. She is in a sense in his
power, and after pleading with him
to abandon his scheme agrees to
follow a policy of neutrality.
Knowing the tender feeling she has
inspired in Ward Carter, Harriet
is tempted to marry him for the
position and wealth he can give
her, though realizing she does not
love him. Blondin has ingratiated
himself with Madame Carter, Rich
ards mother, and she is whole
heartedly in favor of his marriage
with Nina. Ward urges Harriet to
marry him. She procrastinates.
Mrs. Carter elopes with Pope. Blon-
din threatens Harriet. She prays
to do what is right. Blondin and
Harriet agree to keep silent about
their past relations, Richard Car
ter proposes a marriage, entirely
businesslike, to take place as soon
as he is divorced. Harriet says
mo-" and goes to visit her sister.

were gone. Linda, watching from the
window, thought that the chauffeur's
obvious respect for Harriet was rather
impressive. She came to the porch,
and Richard waved his farewell to
them en- masse,
''He's very nice" said Linda. "Poor
fellow, he probably would have had
an entirely different moral code, If
his life had been different" Harriet
inwardly wrlthed, but she did not stir
in the sisterly embrace Of Linda's
arm.
