HARDING HOLDS SUGAR
BOYCOTT is JUSTIFIED

President Harding feels that it is
wholly consistent for people who have
a complaint about prices of a commo-
dity to restrict consumption on that
commodity, it was said at the White
House on Tuesday, in connection with
the movement started in various parts
of the country to boycott consumption
of sugar.
It was added, however, that the
President does not believe it is the
business of the government to COM
mend boycotts of any kind.
American women who are organ
izing boycotts against use of sugar
are ION the right track" in the opin-
ion of Secretary Hoover.
1.-THE way to control prices of food
commodities" said Hoover, "is to
bring about the spontaneous control
of consumption.

and we'll enriched soil there is little
| danger of having the soil too rich for
rhubarb. The hills should be three
and half to four feet apart, if more
than one row is planted.
This wonderful staple Of the family
garden can generally be planted along
the fence where it will be out of the
way of cultivation.
The thick leaf stems are the part
used, and none should be pulled from
the plants the first year after seeding,
but a large supply will be available
the second season, and the hills will,
as a rule, continue to produce salts
factory crops of stems for several
years, after which they should be d.
vided and reset.
Rhubarb should receive the same
attention and treatment during win
ter as asparagus, and the plants
should never be allowed to ripen and
seed. The roots may be brought into
the greenhouse, pit, cOldframe, or eel
lar during the winter and forced.
By placing a barrel over a rhubarb
plant much longer and tender stalks
may be grown.
This is one plant that does not thrive
In warm climates. 1t is most popular,
especially in the sections where it is
grown, in the early part of the spring
The use, Of rhubarb is principally fol-
making pies and sauces, and many
housewives can the stems for winter
use.

Rhubarb, or "pieplant," as it is
sometimes called, cannot be grown uni
versally, but is limited to certain def
mite sections. Information as to
whether rhubarb will or will not grow
in a given locality can be obtained
from the local seedsnen or from neigh
bOrs who have had experience in grow
ing it.
Rhubarb is propagated by planting
pieces of the roots secured by divid-
ing older hills, and six to ten hills will
usually supply plenty of rhubarb for
the average family, states the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Rhubarb should be planted exactly
the same way as asparagus, that is,
the roots or crowns should be covered

safe roofing materials those mate
rails are demanded. Brick and stucco
houses, with roofs of asphalt shingles,
have been shown to be more extensively
used of late, on account of their greater
durability and fre-resistant qualities. A
few decades ago, when timber was more
plentiful and less expensive, roofing
problems did not call for the great con-
sideration they do today. Fire laws in
various municipalities were not as strin-
gent then as they now are and the costs
of fre-resistant material, compared with
wood, were high. In this day, initial cost
is not proportionately higher and the
first cost is practically wiped out in the
saving through the lower maintenance
and the lower insurance rates in effect
where approved fre-proof material is
used in roof construction.

Small House Is Popular

The small house, with notifications
to suit climate and the individual tastes
of the owner, proved the most popular
type of construction among home build
ers. Architects and contractors report
that the builders of small homes are in
sisting upon equipping their houses with
all modern devices common to apart
ment houses in the larger cities. The
competent housewife has become enam-
CURED with the small house, because she
has found it easier to manage if chance
or necessity make it ga servantless
home"
Architects also report that in line
with the demand for labor-saving equip
ment there is also heavy demand for
materials that reduce fire hazard. Ex-
perience has shown that fire resistant
building materials are also time and
weather resistant. Where every cent
counts in building home and the cost
is spread over a number of years, the
fact that the roof, for instance, may have
to be replaced in decade must be
considered. The insurance rate is an
