NEW ENGLAND APPROVES
GREAT LAKES PROJECT

Chicago, May 31.-New England is
not opposed to the Great Lakes-St
Lawrence Waterway. New England
sees in this development many bene-
fits to the great industrial section.
This point of view was revealed in
Chicago on May "a at a conference be-
tween President o. e. Bradfute and
Secretary j. w. C%overdale, of the Am
erican Farm Bureau Federation, and
President Chas. II. Cow and General
Manager Ora L. Stone of the AS
sociated Industries of Massachusetts
and President Fl. c. Gardner, Execu-
tive Director Charles p. Craig and
John S.. Pardee of the Great Lakes st.
Lawrence Tidewater Association.
The conference vas preliminary to
a larger conference which will be held
in Chicago next September between
representatives Of the New England
groups and the mid-western groups in
which sectionalism will be forgotten
and an effort made to find a common
ground on which farmers and New
England irdustrialists may meet for
mutual Improvement. 1t is believed
that one of the biggest projects on
which they may agree is the early de-
velopment OF the Great Lakes-St
Lawrence Waterway.
In the Chicago conference President
o. f. Bradfute pointed out that trans
p~ortation rates to the eastern indus
trial centers have grown tp be more
than the farm traffic can bear. Mr..
Bradfute stated that it was impossible
to get the midwest farmers products
to the eastern consumer and have any
thing left after paving the freight bill

FALL SEEDED ALFALFA

More and more alfalfa is being sue
cessfully seeded in the Fall, in Hand
County. There are several reasons
to commend the practice, the most inn
portant OF which is that the use OF
the land for one season is not lost
Success Of spring seeding, seems ia
depend so much on moisture during
July and August. This factor is elm
mated in fall seeding.
Alfalfa may he successfully started
in the corn field at laying by time,
or when the corn is cut in the fall
Results on clean stubble have been
very good.
Occasionally successful alfalfa
stands are obtained from spring seed
ing on spring plowtES. Unless a roll
Ter or a packer is used this method
is much more apt to result in failure
than success. Alfalfa needs a solid
seed bed. 1t can not survive in loose
ground.

THE FARMERS WIFE
Weekly Service Hints Furnished BY
State College Specialists
BY Mary Ann Gray

Short Cuts I'm Sewimg-Women who
make their W garments and those
for their children will appreciate such
time savers" as suggested by Azalea
Linfield, extension specialist in cloth
ing at State College.
Bound ~buttOnhOles for rOmpers, ap-
rons and house dresses-Mark with
basting thread the exact length of but
tonholes. Lay a piece 2h inches wide
and ! inch longer than opening, over
it on the right side with the center to
the basting line. Basic into place.
Turn to the wrong side and stitch the
width of the small pressure foot from
the original basting. Start at one side
to stitch, turn square n and con-
tinue to stitch until rectangle is COM
plete. Cut a slit down the original
basting 10 "A inch from end. Then
cut to each corner, being careful not
to cut stitches. Remove basting that
held facing in place and pull the fac
ing SO that the two edges just meet
at the center of the opening; secure
folded ends of the facing which extend
past the ends of the opening. On the
wrong side catch the stitch on the out
er edge of the facing. Overcast ed
ges together one way, then return.
Press buttonhole hard; remove over
casting stitches and the buttonhole
is complete.
Set in Pockets for Middies and
Skirts These are made in the same
way as the bound buttonhole only un-
der the second step the piece of ma
terial used is s inches wide and 1 inch
longer than the opening. Instead of
finishing off edges of wrong side, as
is done With the bound buttonhole the
upper piece Of material is creased
down and the pocket cut the desired
shape. Make a plain seam. The raw
edges may be bound, or overcast, de-
pending on the material.

Sport Models Retain
Full Measure OF
Popularity

Keen observers of automo-
tive affairs have long predicted
that the touring car and road
ster would become obsolete be-
cause of the reasonable cost
of enclosed cars and their
overwhelming increase in popu-
larity. In a recent interview,
D. J. O'Connell, of the O'Con-
nell-Clark Company, Kissel dis
tributors here, granted that this
prediction might contain its
modicum of truth, but was en-
phatic in expressing the
opinion that the sport type of
roadster and touring car and
their immediate popularity
have done much to postpone
the day.
cit will be a long time" he
says, "before the only kinds of
cars to- be seen on our high
ways are sedans, limousines,
and the other enclosed types.
Those who fear that the open
car will go out of fashion
should remember that there
will always be wealthy owners
of large fleets of cars, who
will insist on having open
cars for fair weather driving"

AUBURN SEDAN

BIC SALES
Beauty of Lines of New Four
Door Type Causing De-
mand, Says Dealer.

Popularity of the Auburn 6-4t
sedan, new four-door, five-passen
ger model, has helped shatter sales
records for many Auburn dealers
and forced factory production to new
high figures, according to j. c.
Stuart, Auburn distributor in this
territory.
The designers and builders of this
new sedan claim it has a beauty and
smartness of lines and finish that
give it great distinction.
The body and deep-cushioned seats
have special striped all-wool up
holstery. The roof is padded with
soft felt to eliminate noise. I'M
proved regulators of special design
give perfect window control. Black
satin finish on the complete instru-
ment board is a final touch of lavish
ness in luxurious appointments.
The body is balanced and slung
low to give open car reliability with
closed car advantages.
Its safety and ease of handling,
its sturdy six-cylinder power, rugged
chassis and spacious body are other
points emphasized by Auburn deal
ers.
Sales Of this new model through
out the country indicate the makers
have struck a responsive chord in
their appeal to discriminating pros
poets.
'In Auburn's twenty three years
of fine car building" says Stuart,
"the standards in this line have
always been high. But for compara-
tive value and instant success the
Auburn 6-43 Sedan sets new record
of achievement"

CONVERTIBLE
LIMOUSINE
OFFERED
New Belgian Auto Can Easily
Be Turned Into Tour
ing Car.

An interesting new Belgian trans
formable car is described in a report
to the Department of Commerce by
Philip E. McKenny, of the COM
mercial attaches office in The
Hague.
The limousine feature of the car
is composed of four large glass
panels. The two which divide the
driver from the passenger are
hinged to the forward side panels
of glass in such way that they
can be turned back on these side
panels, after which the two now
double glasses on each side can be
dropped into the side body of the
car In the same way in which a
trolley car window is disposed of
when not needed. The glass panels
at the elbows of the. rear seat pas
sengers are hinged onto the very
heavy back curtains and can be
turned back on this until they lie
flat against the back of the car. :.
The lower rear portion of the
tonneau is so arranged that It can
be opened downward on hinges, like
the lid of a Korean chest, and the
combined back curtain and rear
side glasses, folded back on the
curtain, are turned down into the
receptacle thus provided by means
of hinges on the lower edge. The
receptacle is then closed, and the
car is a touring car with a roof.
The roof can be folded back like
any touring car top, leaving the
car entirely open to the air.
It is possible also to fold back
the top only and put away the rear
side glasses and back curtain, leav-
ing the glasses between the driver
and passenger and the front side
glasses up as windshields.
