Without realizing 1t one may be

out undue fatigue II IL Is performed

While the unwashed dishes. the food

and the torn ironing board cover may
not actually interfere with rapid work,
the general atmosphere Of confusion
detracts from good results and the
worker Is undoubtedly more tired at
the end Of the time she has spent
ironing than the one in the picture.
Time is often lost making room among
a collection Of untidy articles, and as
there is neither a hamper for a pile Of
dampened clothes nor a clotheshorse
for those that have been ironed, the
housewife will have to stop occasional
ly and move these garments to make
room for others.
It Is important to have the ironing
board steady and placed at the right
height. A clean, well-padded ironing
board OF table set at the comfortable
working height from the floor requires
the expenditure Of less energy for IRON
ing. If 1t Is possible to sit down to

Government ACTION TO

Farm Bureau Federation Would Raise
Price BY Storing Surplus At
Government Expense

Washington.-A proposal that q
minimum of 2OO,OOO,OOO bushels OF
wheat be withdrawn by American
farmers from this years visible sup
ply, in view of this country's indicated
large surplus, placed in warehouses.
under supervision of the department
of agriculture, financed through the
intermediate credits banks and carried
forward to augment next years crop
at harvest time, has been made public
by the American Farm Bureau feder-
alton.
In a telegram to Secretary Wallace,
who Is accompanying President Hard
Ing on his Alaskan trip, the fedora
ton commended the presidents state
ment in Kansas, supporting lntermedi-
ate credits and warehousing int urged
MIR. Wallace to advise the president to
recommend that farmers avail them
selves Of this new warehousing and
intermediate credits act.
The country's present crop of wheat
n c~arry-Over, the telegram states, Ii
approximately 1000. 100000 bushels.
Domestic consumption about 550.OO0,-
300 bushels, seed requirements 5O,OOO,-
100 bushels and a possible export out
look 1~50,0O0,O0O to 200,OOO,OO 0 bushels.
h federation proposals, Mr.. Wallace
was told. twill give the farmers an op-
portunity to adjust their acreage In
the fall and spring seeding so that no
unduly large surplus need exist at that
time"
Such a move in the opinion Of the
federation, would permit cooperative
and orderly marketing and lift wheat
from 70 cents to 80 cents. the present
price, to $1.4O or S1.5O and would con-
nutie it on that basis through the year,
thereby being helpful to both produc-
ers and consumers eliminating specu-

Shelby, Montana.-The whole sport

Ing at the end of his scheduled 10
round heavyweight championship bout
with Jack Dempsey when almost
everybody expected him to be knocked
out in six or seven rounds. Dempsey,
the champion, was an overwhelming
favorite to win by a knockout early in
the battle.
Referee Daugherty awarded Demp-
sey the decision when the gong changed
ending the fifteenth round. but Glib
bons, who did not get a cent for fight
ing the champion, left the ring with
n moral victory. 1t was the first time
that any fighter had managed to face
Dempsey and still be on his feet at the
finish, since he became champion.
Gibbons has n reputation made in SO
fights of never having been knocked
off his feet. That reputation is still
good. Dempsey had him dizzy and
weary probably half a dozen times,
but failed to knock him v
A majority of the newspaper ex-
perts at the ringside gave Gibbons a
shade in the fifth, eleventh and thir.
teenth rounds, the remaining IL being
accorded Dempsey without argument.
Neither the champion nor the ehal.
lenger were ever off their feet, al.
though nee Gibbons nearly fell
through the ropes and was helped back
by Dempsey.
At the last minute to obtain funds
to pay the referee and other inciden-
tai expenses, the management threw
open the gates to the crowd at $40 adj
mission each for any seat un%occupied.
Promotion Of the fistic spectacle was
harrassed by financial difficulties from
the start, and, 1t is reported, promot-
ers who put up their own money are
losers to the amount they advanced.

DEnTTME SrFRDEEG By Thornton

BY the middle of the summer the
young ChuckS were quite half-grown,
and were beginning to feel quite in
dependent. This was true of one in
particular. He was d little the big
gest. and he made Polly Chuck more
trouble than all the others together.
He was continually wandering away
from home farther than was safe.
Polly Chuck would miss him and go
look for him. When she found him
she would ScOld as only Polly Chuck
can. Then sh" would drive him home
and send him down into the house.
But the very next chance he got this
disobedient young Chuck would do
the same thing over again.
Early one morning Polly led the
five children across the Long Lane to
breakfast on sweet clover on the
other side. She was in the ha bit of
doing this every morning. This time
the disobedient young Chuck was the
last one in the line of young Chucks
as they started across the Long
Lane. The first one kept close to his
mothers black heels. The second one
kept close to the first one. The third
was right behind. and the fourth was
as close as he could get 10 the one
in front of him.
The disobedient young Chuck start
ed with the rest and kept his place at
the end OF the line until they reached
the middle of the Long Lane. There
he stopped. His mother had disap-
peared in the bushes on the other
side and his brothers and sisters We're
following as fast as they could. He
waited until the last one had disap-
peared Then he looked up the Long
Lane and down the Long Lane. Ever
since he had first crossed that Long
Lane he had wanted to explore it.
Now was his chance. Should he go
up or down the Long Lane? He de-
cided to go up.
I'm plenty big enough to take care
of myself" said he to himself. Be
sides. there isn't anything to be
afraid of. anyway. There must be a
lot of places more interesting than
il is around home. 1t is stupid there.
Nothing ever happens. There isn't any
excitement"
The young Chuck took one last look
to make sure that his mother hadn' I
missed him. Then he turned and
scampcred up the Long Lane as fast
as he could go He meant to get as
far as he could before his mother
missed him. He was running away.

In the DAYS of Thy Youth.

Oh. satisfy us in the morning with
Thy loving kindness, that we may
rejoice and be glad all our days
Ps. xc.14.
The words 'in the morning" as
used here, mean at the beginning of
life.
1t is a great blessing to know God
In childhood. SO that not<a single day
need be passed in ignorance of His
merciful kindness. not single trial
need be borne without His help. not
single pleasure need be enjoyed
as if it were the careless gift of
chance or the result of our own
cleverness.
1t is good to belong to God in the
morning and to rejoice in His mercy
until the evening.
Let us be sure that a whole life
spent with God Is better than half a
life.
There is no satisfaction in any
thing without His mercy. therefore
seek it at once.
1t is better late than never, but it
is far better early than late.
