name she gave as her own was the
right one, and when asked for her
address refused to say where she
lived-which was foolish, seeing the
pegger had offered to send clients to
her home.
But the lace was all right. She
said she had made it herself with bob
bins and a pillow, which seemed
doubtful, ju6ging by the tired, cross

right.

consider the amount of time
devoted each day to clean

duties? If you are not avail
ing yourself of labor-saving

devices such as the electric

Busy Businessman?

the first to advocate similar eff

should encourage home labor
savers like the electric vacuum
cleaner, which eliminate the
youth = destroying drudgery of
sweeping, beating and busting,
precisely for the same reason that
they encourage labor-savers in
their business.
The electric vacuum cleaner
reduces carpet cleaning expense;
keeps floor coverings looking like

household help, makes the home
more sanitary and hygienic, while
relieving cleaning monotony.
Is it fair-Busy Businessman!

The Kansas wheat crop has had an

the weather bureau. which show that
no rain whatever fell in the state and
that abncrmally high temperatures
the fore part of the week had a ten
deney to start wheat greening up
when the ground was too dry to sup
port growth. On Friday, the 10th, the
thermometer rose above 20 degrees
over much of the state. but a change
to much colder came with the closing

High winds on the Sth caused con-
siderable damage by soil blowing in
several important wheat growing
counties in the central part Of the
state and several extreme southwest
ern counties. but elsewhere there was
but little complaint of trouble from
this source The crop is needing
moisture badly in all parts, especially
the western half. but as long as the
cold weather holds it dormant the
damage from this cause is not eX-
pected to be great.
While the high temperatures of the
week caused some appearance OF
growth and greening- in the southea ~
and south central counties, the cold
weather that followed SO abruptly
checked all further development, tho
temperatures that came with it were
so low as TO affect wheat unfavora bly,.
The ground is generally in good
condition for spring plOWlns in the
southeast quarter of the state and
oats sowing was under way the fore
part of the week in the extreme south

fourth of the crop has been put in
