show how much more economical of
body energy a motor-driven sewing ma
chine is when compared with one
driven by foot-power or with hand
sewing.
Most women realize that they work
harder and put forth more muscular
effort when they run a sewing machine
for an hour with their feet than when
they sit and sew for the same time by
hand, though of course, they accom-
plish more with the machine. For ex-
ample, in hemfning sheets, it takes
about six times as much energy to run
the foot-driven machine for an hour
as it does to sew by hand for that
length Of time, at the ordinary rate,
but two yards can be hemmed with the
amount of energy required for one by
hand and in much less time. Probably
10 yards could be hemmed on the sew
ing machine while one was being done
by hand.
Energy Required.
When the electrically driven machine
was used in the departments investi-
cations the energy required per hour
was not quite twice that used for hand
sewing. 1t was only one-fourth as
much as that needed to run the foot
driven machine. The energy used per
yard was about one-fifth of that used
with the foot-driven machine, and less
than one-tenth of that for thanksgiving.
In other words, even if the machine
did not sew any faster or finish a
greater number Of yards in an hour,
when run by an electric motor, the
mother would be less tired when she
had finished given amount Of sewing
than if she had pedaled the machine.

TO an egg, cover closely and the degree
of hardness will depend upon the
length Of time they are in the water.
Thirty minutes will produce an egg
with mealy yolk and a white that is
tender and perfectly cooked.
Sugar on fruits should not be eaten
by those subject to rheumatism.
Too much meat is the great Ameri-
can dietary evil
White bread is not the best Of food
though it may be called the staff of
life It is lacking in vitamines, but
does supply energy, as do potatoes if
cooked without their jackets. Cooked
in their jackets they supply many min
erals.
How to Salt Pork-Rub each piece
of meat with pure fine salt and pack
closely in jar or barrel. Let stand
over night. Small pieces pack much
better than large ones. The next day
make and pour over the brine. For
one hundred pounds of meat use ten
pounds of salt, two ounces of saltpeter
and four gallons OF boiling water. AL
low the brine to cool before pouring
over the pork, then place a weight to
keep the meat under the brine. 1t
during warm weather the brine seems
ropv. it should be drawn off and
fresh brine made Keep In a cool
cellar.
UNMARRIED diet is often the cause of
stomach trouble. Food that looks at
tractive smells and tastes attractive,
causes the saliva to flow at once and
the gastric juices begin to secrete and
flow. The reason music is used in
many hotels is to give pleasure to the
diner 1t arouses pleasant emotions
and is fully as important as agreeable
food. Pleasant conversation, good
company are both invaluable aids to
digestion. Anger and shock checks the
flow of the digestive juices in just the
same ratio that pleasure and laughter
increases it.
Professor McCullom, row OF Johns
Hopkins, tells US that liver and kid
news are more nearly complete foods
than lean meat of any kind which is
lacking in calcium, sodlum, chlorlne
and the three types Of vitamines
Green leaves, such as lettuce, celery,
water cress, cabbage, turnip tops, spin
ach, contain the vitamines necessary
for health and growth. The strictly
vegetarian diet, however, is not good.
We need fresh milk and milk products
with the green leaves to keep the body
in good health.

How to clean Black SILK.

old instructions for cleaning black
silk and ribbons tell us to boil black
kid gloves in pint of water for an
hour, strain. add quart of hot water
and a teaspoonful of bocax. With this
LIQUID sponge the silk very thoroughly,
then rinse well in a large quantity Of
lukewarm water, to which liberal
allowance Of borax has been added.
If this is done on a bright day, and
ribbons hung carefully on the line, it
will drip and need no ironing.

are only to be seen as influences. They

PHELPS HAS FIRST
LYCEUM COURSE

The village of Phelps has secured
a Lyceum course for the coming Win
ter that will provide the residents
with some high class entertainments
during the dull season and is indica-
tive of the Phelps way of doing things
that will tend to make that village
a better one and more desirable for
it's residents. The course is one known
as the Chicago Circuit Series consist
ing of five numbers beginning with
the Bell Ringing Quartet followed by
the Clifford Foote Trio, A. Mather
Hilburn, Stanley Nelson Dancy and
concluding with The McCords. Every
number is said to be very good and
have been listed with the Chicago
Lyceum Bureau for a number of years
Elmer A. Olson, one of the leading
lights of Phelps was the promoter OF
the idea and states that season tickets
were readily sold to insure the sue
cess of the course financially so that
it can be taken as certainty that it
will become an annual feature of
Phelps.

Wisconsin Shows Most
Reduction In Spud Crop
POTATO CROP FAVoRABLE IN
WISCONSIN FOR THE MONTH
OF OCTOBER

September brought reduction in
the potato crop in Wisconsin but an
increase in the forecast for the United
States, was announced today by the
State and Federal Crop Reporting Ser
vice at Madison. Growing conditions
ip Wisconsin during the first part Of
September were extremely favorable,
but the early killing frost of Septem-
Der 18th made a marked reduction in
the yields that farmers in central Wis
consin were expecting, was explained
by Paul Nyhus. A large corps of crop
reporters estimate the condition of po-
tatOes in Wisconsin at 72 per cent of
normal, which forecasts a crop of &c.
$4,000 bushels compared to fore
cast of 27,2S7,OO0 bushels a month ago
Last years production in Wisconsin
was Al million bushels, so that the
1928 crop promises to be 65 per cent of
last year.
The forecast for the United States
crop is 4O1 million bushels. IL millior
bushels above the September forecast.
This forecast is IL per cent below
last years production. II per cent
above the production of 1921, and
slightly less than the production in
1920.
The crop in New York increased
~ ,,oiIIirY, Il,,cIoo1 ,5,,v;rc~ C0,,+o,,,Io,.
with a gain of million bushels in
Michigan, and 4 million bushels in
Maine. Forecasts for Minnesota and
North Dakota are practically the same
as a month ago. Wisconsin shows the
largest reduction from last years pro
duction of the leading potato states.
Wisconsin Good and Poor Sections
Yields on some late planted fields
in the northern third of the State were
cut somewhat by the frost, but the
crop in that section was generally ma
ture at the time of the frost. In the
central potato district of the State,
however, the crop needed about ten
days more growing weather with
paintings after June 10th severely
damaged by the early frost. The crop
was backward in many counties due
to drouth conditions, but the vines
made excellent growth following the
rains in late August and early Septem-
Der so that the prospects we're bright
before the killing frost. Fields of
small potatoes and accordingly low
yields are very frequent in the cen
trail districts.
The best conditions are found in
an area around Barron County where
the yield promises to be better than
last year Conditions are lower than
last year in the rest of the State with
the poorest prospect about half a
crop in an early drouth area of ten
counties extending from La Crosse to
Fond du Lac.

THAT STATE PARK

The Daily News is free to confess
that it is not vociferously enthusiastic
regarding Governor Blaine's proposal
to set off an area of land sixteen
miles long and nine miles wide in
Villas county as state park.
Parks are beauty spots of nature,
if left to remain in their natural con
dition. They are, as has been so
often said, the breathing spots of the
country and anything that is done to
improve and enlarge the park system
Of Northern Wisconsin is just so
much accomplished in the develop
ment of the country as a summer re
sort territory.
This view of the case, however, is
overshadowed by the fact that much
of the proposed park system is kept
from settlement and improvement is,
in fact, virtually thrown aside by the
state as unavailable for agricultural
purposes and placed in the list of the
states resources as land valuable for
nothing but so-called recreational pur
poses. This may be true, to limited
extent, but for any state to make pub
lie the fact that a considerable por
ton of its wild acreage is good for
nothing but a playground is to say
the least, mighty poor publicity
The summer resort business of
Northern Wisconsin is considerable
but it has thousands of private indi-
viduals who are in the business and
who are devoting thousands of acres
to practically park purposes.
1t does not seem that it is neces-
sary for the state to give over thou
sands of acres of perfectly good agri
cultural lands to park purposes. The
Daily News believes that much of this
public domain should be opened to
actual settlement and put back on
the tax roll of the state. The system
of holding these lands by the state
is wrong, does not in any way help
the state either agriculturally or com
mercially.
We need parks, we want parks in
Northern wisconsin, but we do not
want or need them at the expense of
the actual settler and the develop
ment of the state. How would it be to
let the Land O. Lakes association
have hand in the development of
Northern Wisconsin's summer resort
business and for the state to give it's
support to the country's home devel-
opment.- Rhinelander Daily News.

U. s. CENTER OF RADIO

The Radio Corporation of America
has in the United States five high
power radio telegraph stations en-
ployed in transoceanic service. Since
1920 the United States has become
the greatest center of radio commune
cation in the world, operating as
many high-power commercial stations
as all other countries combined. This
is a record of scientific achievement
and business enterprise of which all
Americans have a reason to feel
proud.

Concrete Roads Easiest
On All Traffic Hauling
CONCRETE is ANcIENT-AMONG
THE OLDEST OF HIGHWAY
MATERIAL

The first known concrete highway
was laid down by the Romans in Eng
land between Westchester and Lon
don. Excavations uncovered several
sections, in excellent condition. APP
parcnsly The material was natural
cemaLt mixed with pebbles and work
ed into roadbed about twelye iucbes
thick.
The art seems to have been lost for
nearly two thousand years, the next
example being in Edinburgh, Scot
land, in 1872, when some concrete
pavements, still in use and good con-
dition, were made
In our own country, Bellefontaine,
Ohio, gets credit for being the first
municipality to experiment with ce-
ment streets, in 1898. But it is really
Wayne County, Michigan, the De-
troit automobile factory region, which
made the concrete highway known to
the nation. This early experiment was
in 1907. In 1909 less than half a mil
lion square yards of concrete were
laid (perhaps fifty miles,) while in
1921 more than sixty million square
yards were laid (more than 1000
miles.)
One of the great advantages of con-
crete is the low cost of hauling, its
surface being less resistant to trac-
tive effort than any we know. Dyna-
mometer measurements show that
the tractive force required to move
wheeled ton of weight on a level
road are, for concrete, S2.5 pounds;
for asphalt, TIT pounds; for brick,
SIS pounds; and for earth, 134.7
pounds.
A taxi company so situated that it
drove one set of cars almost entirely
on dirt roads and another set almost
entirely on concrete roads, reports
that it costs "a cents less per mile
to operate the taxis on the cement
road than on the dirt roads.
There are 100000 automobiles in
the country. If they average the low
amount of 5000 miles each per year,
the total miles driven is $4,000, 100000
At 2 cents a mile saving, the sum OF
$720,O00,OO0 a year could go towards
building hard surface roads, which
income would build $4,000 miles OF
permanent highways every year!
