full, for 451 sets were sent to schools
during this time.
The most popular set has been one

State ReouIation-certifi-

The Wisconsin poultry hatcheries
are the only ones in the United States
which are under state regulation and
inspection, according to information
collected by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Because of the
menace to the poultry industry
through the sale Of young chicks of
inferior quality and breeding, the
state department of markets and the
poultry department of the University
of Wisconsin have established regula-
tons and requirements for hatchery
flocks and for hatcheries, and those
that fill the requirements and live up
to- the regulations will be known as
wisconsin inspected and accredited
hatcheries and hatchery fiocks." A
list of the accredited hatcheries and
fiocks has been prepared and pub
lished. Chicks purchased from hatch
cries on the list bear the mark of the
department of markets, which gives
assurance that they are standard bred
and from reasonably good egg-produc-
ing strains. Inspectors issue certifi-
Gates to owners of hatcheries and
fiocks that fill the requirements.

That the squeak which fire.
quently develops in a new car
an annoying little sound which
seems now to be in one section
of the machine and now in an
other-is usually due to lack of
proper fabrication of the spring
shackles. The best way to over
come this difficulty is to have the
car lacked up, all the shackle
pins driven out and the passages
which the grease is intended to
travel thoroughly cleaned.
Ordinarily, it will take some
little time to attend to this, but
the operation is well worth
while because, until the grease
passages are opened so that the
lubricant can come directly in
contact with the joint, the
squeak will grow steadily worse
and, as every owner knows,
the only thing worse than a
squeak is balky engine. Heavy
grease should be applied directly
to the bolt when this is slipped
back into place and, in nine
eases out of ten the elusive
squeak will disappear imme-
diately.

BIG IMPORTANCE OF TOMATO
No Single Garden Crop So Easily
Grown-Success Depends on Soil
and Cultural Methods.

There is probably no single garden
crop so easily grown, and at the same
time playing so large part in the win
ter supply of canned goods, as the
tomato. Therefore, In the face Of the
high prices of canned and uncanned
food stuff, more attention should be
given to this valuable crop, to pro-
vide an abundant supply for the home
and local market.
Successful tomato growing is largely
dependent upon judicious soil selec-
ton, fertilizer application, and cultural
methods. The best soil for tomatoes
Ia the well drained garden loan soil.

CLEAN OUT ALL FENCE ROWS
Such Pests as Grasshoppers, Wire
Worms and Cut Worms Can Be
Controlled.

Insect pests, such as grasshoppers,
wire worms and cut worms, can be
controlled to quite an extent by clean
ing up the old grass and weeds on the
unused land along fence lines and on
waste land. According to F. A. Fenton,
entomologist at Iowa State college,
these locations harbor such pests, and
by cleaning them up early, many in
sects will be killed before they start
work.
Where pests have been prevalent on
any area, rotation Of crops will often
starve out the offenders. This is par
ticularly true of wire worms, cut worms
and corn root worms.

Enforcement of Law is Urged
by DR.. Glothlin.

Declaring that the failure of
states to uphold the laws and guar
antee to citizens "life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness" is encollr-
aging further usurpation of state
by the federal government,
DR.. w. J.. McGlothlin in an address
before the Civilian club yesterday
pleaded for a law enforcement gov
eminent in South Carolina. "Above
everything else," he said, 1--WE must
have protection of the lives and
property of the people, and if the
states do not give it then the federal
government will"
DR.. McGlothlin reviewed the ten
dency toward Capitalization in the
federal government and the dimin-
sovereignty of the individual
states and explained that commerce
and INSTRUMENTATION and added
international problems had been
responsible for it. However, he de-
clared, the ineficiency of state gov
eminent had also been a contribus-
ing factor. The. child labor law was
shifted to the federal government
because of the inability of the states
to curb the situation. The careless
and Indifferent choosing of officers
had caused state governments to
function less efficiently than the fed

Choosing the Best Instruction
for Music in Children.
By Signora De Fabritiis

The opening of school again
Gus the interest for things edu-
cational in the minds of thoughtful
parents for their children's present
and their future welfare; and of
equal Importance to the choosing Of
Subjects in the elementary and high
school should be the choice Of what
branch of music should begin to
form part and parcel of the growing
child's equipment.
The study of music as a language
whether it's ultimate medium is to
be in the future the violin, the voice,
the flute, the cello, or the piano
should first start with the study of
pianoforte music-for in this way
does the child become familiar with
musical notation and trains the eye
and ear alike to distinguish and APP
! preciate the value of tones in their
! relation one to the other.
4 In no art is there more ignorance
and misapprehension as to the value
of fine constructive teaching than in
that all embracing term emusic"
The teaching of music in its highest
sense, to a young child whose quick
sensitive mind grasps ideas and sug-
kgestions with little effort, should be
4 entrusted only to the very best in
Astructor that a city affords and one
"a purse car compass.
a 1t is a fallacy to suppose that "any
Sort of teaching will do for a begin
$ner." It is not true. It is a waste
of time, body and mind, to say moth
ling of money, for in no time of life
lis the finest teaching more produc-
tive of real result than in the first
years of music study.
A Give your child the best. Count
the expense of his or her musical
%aeducation not last but first On your
Hist of absolute necessities; and in
choosing q teacher be guided, not by
thearsay, or economy in price, but
make as careful and deliberate a
choice as you would in choosing a
physician to help your child through
some taxing and difficult phase of
physical building.
Give your child music, and give
him to the very best teachers you
can afford. Let his first habits be
correctness and the future will yield
you glowing results.
