DO YOU NEED FEWER
DOMESTIC EMPLOYEES,

Answer as you will, the sensui
shows a considerable decrease il
EN- ployees OF that classification. A
survey OF the houserolders field will
also show that more women than al
any time are taking care Of their
own house work. The greatest one
reason for this Is the Increased use
OF electrical contrivancss for mini
mixing labor.
AS an indication Of this greatly
increased use OF the many electri-
cal conveniences, we note q few facts
about one of them namely the wash
ing machine. In 1903. about 5000
electrical washing machines were in
the United States. Today approx
mately 100000 are in service. The
war was chiefly responsible for this
great increase. Thousands OF women
then employed in damestic herTice
went into government work. Amuni-
ton factories, etc. and the machine
stepped into their places House
wives thus learned fall spprecia-
ton Of their value, and with their
help together with the convenience
OF many other electrical devices, it
was discovered that household en-
ployees are not indispensable.
II is estimated that by the end of
this year about 100000 houses in
the United States will Be wired for
electricity, making possible still more
extended use of electrical apparatus.

"Oh. what is death. It's a fleeting
breath,
A simple but blessed change:
'Tis reding choice that the Som
may gain.
A higher and broader range.
Unbounded space is its dwelling
place,
Where no human foot hath trod
But everywhere doth it feel the carr
And the changeless love of God.
Oh, though you weep, when your
loved ones sleep,
When the rose on the cheek grows
pale,
Yet their rays of light. Just con-
cealed from sight.
Are only behind the veil.

Twelve Good Reasons
for Building a Silo

1. More feed can be stored in a
given space in form Of silage than In
form Of fodder or hay.
q A small loss of food material
when a crop is made into silage.
8. Corn silage Is better feed than
corn fodder.
4. An acre of corn or kafir can be
placed Into a silo at less cost than the
same area when husked and shredded.
s. Crops can be put In the silo dur
ing weather which could not be util-
lied for curing fodder or hay.
9. More stock can be kept on a
given area Of land when silage is the
basis Of ration.
7. Less wasted In feeding silage
than fodder.
8. Silage Is very palatable.
9. silage, like other succulent feeds,
has beneficial effect upon the diges-
tive organs.
10. Silage Is the cheapest and best
form In which a succulent feed can be
provided In the winter.
IL. Silage can be used for supple
mentary pasture more 'cheaply than
can soilins crops, because 1t requires
less labor and cattle like silage better
II. Converting corn or kafr crops
Into silage clears the land and leaves
It ready for another crop.

NO RAGS FOR HOOKED RUGS
Modern Housewife Has Not Facilities
for Making Those Once Popular
Floor Coverings

The oldtlme American floor csver-
ing, the hooked and braided rugs are
greatly In demand as the vogue for
colonial furnishings advances. The
braided rugs now on the market are
made in fast colors. Present-day
closets and modern methods Of hv-
ing do not admit of the modern house
wife making rugs. She has no rags.
CASTOR garments are sold, given
away or remade-never stored away
in this day of hurry The dispoh-
tion of this surplus keeps the closet
shelves bare Braided rugs must be
bought, although the task Of braiding
and sewing is not difficult one.
Genuine hooked rugs Of authentic
colonial origin are getting scarcer
and scarcer, and though many deal
ers Systematically ransack the gar
rets of New England, the supply
seems to come exclusively from those
people who have been induced only
by the high prices offered to part
with their family treasures. There
Is a steady demand for these rugs,
and those people who handle them
for the trade find that they sell
readily. and that the best specimens
are snapped up in a hurry.-Kansas

indianapolis Girls Refused to Make
Physical ExertIon Necessary TO
Pick Up That Dime.

A man was stopped a moment the
other evening at the southwest cor
ner of Washington and Pennsylvania
streets by the press Of traffic. He
noticed three girls standing at the
edge Of the sidewalk, gazing silently
at the pavement near where they
stood
This aroused his curiosity and he
stepped over near them and saw
dime at the spot on which their eyes
were glued. He advanced with the
remark;
I'll pick 1t up for you" and asked
to whom 1t belonged.
Me" said one of them.
Handing 1t to her, he asked:
"Why didn't you pick 1t upT'
"Didn't want to-" she answered.
"And why didn't you pick 1t upT
he asked the second girl.
"Too tired" was her answer.
"And you?" addressing the third.
''Too lazy" was the response.
"What are your namesT he asked,

ROSette Disease Of
Wheat Is Compared
Difficult to Tell Accurately
Harm Caused by Each.

prepared by tho United States Department
of Asrlculture.)
The rosette disease of wheat, dis
covered in Illinois and Indiana in 1919
effects wheat seedlings In somewhat
Hessian fly and certain other insect
pests. When the trouble Is caused by
Insects, their presence or evidence of
their work serves definitely to show
the cause Of the trouble. Wheat seed
lings attacked by rosette disease alone
show no evidence of the presence or
work of insects, 1t Is pointed out by
specialists Of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture who have been
investigating these wheat maladies.
The first positive indications of the
rosette disease become evident early
in the spring after the growth of the
healthy plants is well started. Plants
effected by rosette remain dormant In
the spring after the healthy plants
commence their spring growth. Infest-
ed fields are spotted with irregular
patches Of dwarfed plants, the leaves
OF which are dark blue-green in color
and are rather broad and stiff. The
whole plant has bunchy, rosette ap-
pearance.
When both rosette disease and Insect
injuries especially those by Hessian
fly, occur together In the spring, IT
sometimes Is difficult to determine ac-
curately the injuries caused by each.
As the rosette disease is not apparent
IN the autumn and as 1t becomes evi-
dent in the spring before the emer-
gencs of the adult Hessian fly, there
Is very little chance TO confuse the two
maladies during these periods. In the
late spring, however. there is n posi-
bility of confusion, especially If plants
affected by rosette show, in addition.
the spring infestation Of the Hessian
fly. These matters are discussed In

duced by Certain Insects, Just issued.

Use Banding Material
to Repel Gypsy Moth

Gypsy moth trss-banding material is
a greasy and semi-viscid substance
with tarlike odor, which is being
used by the bureau Of entomology in
Its control work against the gypsy
moth in New England. This material
has been developed since 1915 to re-
place a German product no longer
available, which was formerly used for
the same purpose
Questions have arisen as to whether
the odor or the viscidity Of the mate
rial was the chief element which halted
the caterpillars. as they tried to get
into the trees, The exhalation or odor,
1t was found on investigation, exercises
restraining influence. but the viscous
or physical condition is more impor-
tant as barrier factor In the band.

Check Weed Injury by
Cleaning Grain Seed

little effort eXerted In cleaning
seed grain Is much more effective than
attempting to check weed damage to

grow. suggests Matthew Fowlds, In

is the best means Of separating the
weed seeds from the seed grain.

Hughes proposed four reserva-
tions, but what does he know
about the fine art of drafting
them? Wait till the Senate gets

his signature with a reservation

doubtless a comprehensive one

Nations,
1t is delightful prospect be-
cause it means party harmony.
For the purpose Of securing that
supreme object, the President is

they have done their worst. The
World Court is a great project, a

Judge Kerr Takes The Plunge

Judge John H. Kerr has taken
the plunge, if newspaper reports
are correct, and put himself IN
the race for the nomination to
Congress from the second district
We doubt that he will lose any
thing by it. The Alphonse-and-
CASTOR business down there does
not deceive anyone except, per-
haps, the would-be candidates
who are engaged in it. We have
no reason in the world to advo-
cate the election of Judge Kerr,
or anyone else, to the office va
Gated by the death Of Representa-
tive kitchin; but we do rather
admire a man with the nerve to
do what everyone else would like
to do, but dare not. 1t occurs to
US that perhaps the second dis
trict may admire that nerve, also,
and that being first in the field
may help Kerr more than it
hurts him.
The fact is, there may be more
truth than the prospective candi-
dates are willing to admit in the
sardonic comment of Judge Fran
els Winston to the effect that
not 35 per cent OF the voters of
the second care enough about
who goes to Congress to turn out
and vote on a hot summer day.
After all, the average man has
to make a living for himself and
his family, and there are a thou
sand things that seem more i'm
portant to him than the con
gressjonal succession. The truth
that several hundred Of that thou
sand may not be important at all,
while the cong -essional success
ion is, does not affect the average
mans attitude.
The terror that the very name
of Kitchin seems to inspire
among the ambitious politicians
of the second no doubt is a tribute
to the dominant personality of
the late representative; but it also
suggests that the second may be
in need OF a sort of Statute of
Mortmain. The intimation that
the seat in Congress was the per-
sonal property of Claude Kitchen,
and should go to his heirs along
with the rest of his estate, is an
amazing one. Is the second pre-
pairing to erect a dynasty?
