THE "HOME DEMONSTRATION

One of the most helpful allies O
the hOmekeeper in the United State
is the Home Demonstration. OF it
three thousand counties about eigh
hundred of them have Home Demon
strators, while many more have the
part time service of Home Demon
strator
i The duty of the Home Demonstrate
or is to work with women in the eff
fort to better home life. Many prob
lens come up for solution: foods and
nutrition, home management, child
care and welfare, clothing and rec
reation, and all of the community S
interests. The Home Demonstration
talks with women in their homes in
the effort to help them there and she
brings the women together in con-
| ference where they can exchange
ideas and help each other.
Sometimes the Home Demonstration
will hold classes in sewing or adapt
ing patterns or making hats or can
ming vegetables or any of a number
of things. She is certain to encOur-
age the use of modern conveniences
md labor saving devices, and will
help women to plan their work wise
ly, taking short cuts and eliminating
useless activities and taking on those
activities making for community de-
velopement.
1t has been found that the Amer
lean women is better housekeeper
than home-maker. The Home Dem
onstrator will help her to emphasize
the most worth while things, tending
more to life and the pursuit Of hap
piness.
Since so many counties cannot af
ford a Home Demonstration of their
own, many states are sending out
special Home Demonstrators who
teach classes of carefully chosen
leaders who will, in turn, instruct
their neighbors in the subjects taught
them.
These are some of the results at
tributed to the work of Home DEM
onstrators; don't they sound good?
Improved health, greater content
ment, fuller life, happier and more
wholesome communities, vitalizatiOn
of country life, richer home life, in
dividual development, community CO.
operation, neighborliness.
If your neighborhood would like
to have the help of a Home Demon
strator, apply to your State Agricul-
tural College. |

LANDSCAPING THE YARD

thing of beauty-like a prett

end of nice things you can do t
make your surroundings pleasant
some of them you should not dc
One of these latter is to chop it al
up into little flower beds and clutte
things up generally. There is moth
ing more lovely and restful, in thi
strenuous age, than a wide expans,
OF lawn. If you have only a marrow
: little yard, you can perform SOM
optical delusions and make it pre-
tend to be wider than it is. Remem
Der that straight lines make the di
rection they run appear longer
Broken lines shorten distances. Il
you have long, narrow back yard
let your lines run crOss-wise.
Have vines over the back fence
and around the garbage can and
ash-pile. Keep flower beds as a
border, near the fence or the house,
or both. If you have tiny tots,
choose corner, shady for the hours
it will be in use, for a sand pile.
Have it near the house so mother can
keep an eye on the players, and far
removed from the fiy-infested and
be-Odored refuse corner, if such there
is; though little lime and a good
deal of care will eliminate that null
sance.
Children love flowers and nothing
will delight them more than sue
cessiOn of blooming plants. A little
study will enable you to provide this.
Call upon your seed-store and inquire
Plan to have China-asters, chrysan-
themums and late boomers take the
place of the early-howering species.
And in the fall set out bulbs for
blooming in early spring.
In small yard the shrubbery and
the vines should be fine and dainty,
rather than course and luxuriant.
An exception may be made in vine
which is intended to hide some I'M
slightly object.
Instead of planting a great deal
of one kind of flowers, it is more in
teresting to have few specimens of
each. Care should be taken to make
the flower beds symmetrical in shape.
For instance, a flower-bed near the
house should have the tallest plants
in the back Of the bed, with low
border plants in front. The next
time you are in public park note
the designs and the landscaping. 1t
is an art. Perhaps your public IL |
brary will have book or two on the |
subject, and your greenhouse keeper |
is quite likely to be an expert on it.
From all of these you can pick up |
some new ideas. There is no labor
which will give larger returns of
Joy to the whole family than little
abor on identifying the yard.
But, above all things, remember
lot to override the flower and shrub
berry feature. Simplicity and order
ire much to be preferred to mussing
t up.

as the hips, giving the effect of a

over the hips, or even some of them
are pleated in fine pleats around the
entire skirt, which is hung on a
plain, straight waist.

NEW YORK. September 27.-The
past week in the financial situation
has been interesting in q number of
ways. First in importance has been
the renewal of the advances in prices
OF farm products. Cotton has recov-
cred all the ground lost during the
last month. Wheat has returned to
the high points of the season, which
seems very satisfactory level for
marketing the 1924 crop. Corn and
oats have followed along, although
corn prices are still well under the
highs of August Is. when the scare
over crop shortage was at it's worst.
Money Remains Cheap.
Second in Importance hae been the
accommodating evidence that the
phenomenal ease in money is Ukely
to continue. There have been times
In our financial history where call
funds have been, as they are now.
practically unlendable. But there
has never been a time where this has
happened in the Fall of the year,
when the demand for additional
money to move the crops is at the
maximum. and when the normal thing
is for more money to be needed for
commer rcial purposes. One wonders. II
these are the conditions at the season
which in the past has very often wit
messed a Stringency, what will be the
situation in January when the funds
used to market the crops return to
the banking centers.
The investment market has been
visualizing these possibilities rather
more than at any time during the last
month. The latest long-term United
States Government loan has sold at
top figures. Demand for the highest
grade investments, bearing low rates
of interest, has been on the increase.
The better sort of industrial preferred
stocks are quoted around their best
prices of the year
All this denotes belief in the contin-
uance Of very low money rates for a
time to come.
Americana Must Advance Credits.
Financial relations will not be put
back to where they were before the
war. because the European nations
have no big gold surplus to pay for
American goods. Trade must be built

BUTTER is REDUCED
TO BOOST SALES
Cheaper Product for Consumers
Expected to Improve Con-
sumption of Surplus.
By the Associated Press

BY the Assoc Ia ted Press
CHICAGO. September -. Heavy
supplies and liberal offerings of fine
butter caused declines in the butter
markets during the week. Trading
was sluggish and the lower grades
moved with difficulty.
Sentiment favored lower prices in
the belief that cheaper butter for the
consumer would improve consump-
ton. Operators were of the opinion
that, in order to move the large
stocks in storage, there must be a
considerable increase or improve
ment in both export and domestic
demand or decided decrease in pro-
duction.
Conditions throughout producing
sections were reported exceptionally
good for this season and promised
continued heavy production. Later in
the season high feed prices may have
some effect on the make.
Withdrawals in New York for ex-
port decreased storage holdings, but
the amounts removed were not suf-
ficiently large to improve the situa-
ton.
Closing prices and range. 92-score

low: Chicago. IA less. at 354; New
York, 4 less, at 37A; Boston, -

Gains IN Farm Products Prices
Weeks Biggest Financial Factor
Cheap Money Also Remains-EuroPe
Neads More Credit-Pools Very
Actiue in Stock Market.

American bankers and eAsiness men
must scAo0l themselves to adopt the
HaADo practice with European AeD-
mers that England and Ger naExy in
pre-war times were accustomed to
employ in dealing with South Ameri-
ca and the Far East. In order to
get business they must advance credit
and do so in liberal way.
1t is conceivable that, say at the
end of another six months or possi-
bly, bit longer, three processes will
be visible in the international money
markets. One will be the lending on
a large scale of American capital
with the object of expanding the for
eign market for American goods. The
second will be the investment of our
surplus funds in European govern
ment, municipal, railway, Industrial
and public utility loans. The third
will be the return to Europe of the
great sums which emigrated to other
countries while Europe's paper cur
rencies were going to smash.
Farm Relief Already Here.
The wheat crop has been gathered
in and the bulk of 1t marketed. The
corn crop has another fortnight,
where, in the northern part of the
belt, 1t is liable to damage from frost.
But in both these instances, as we'll
as IN Otner grains, the season Is VIZ
tually over, and ii Is a question now,
not of the size of the domestic har-
vests, but of the extent to which i'm
porting nations will be dependent
upon tho excess American supply.
The grain markets during the last
week have been returning very
optimistic answer to this question.
What particularly impresses at this
stage of the presidential campaign is
the nerve of politicians in all parties
going around the country with their
talk of relieving the farmer" when
the facts are that wheat is up 33
cents a bushel from the low of SIX
months ago. Corn is up 40 cents and
other grains and live stock are up
proportionately.
Changes in Stock Market Small.
Another week has gone by in which
the stock market has appeared to be
very strong and yet where actual
price changes in good deal more
than half of the list have been small.
The reason of this is that following
the traditional September reaction"
during the first 10 days of the
month there has been no resumption
Of the general advance but simply a
starting UP again of operations for
the rise by pools and professional
traders in large variety of selected
stocks.

WELLESLEY HILLS. Mass, Sep
tember 27.-Whether or not State
county, city and town bonds will con-
tihue to be issued as tax-exempt Sc
curities only the future can tell; but
, unless their rate of issue is curtailed
taxes necessary to pay interest and
retire them will bankrupt the farm
ers of this country.
The present increase in taxes which
results from the demand for these
' non-taxable bonds is raising havoc
with land values. the cost of farm
products and rural conditions in gen.
eral. Thus far tax-exempt municipal
bonds have had the best record of
any class of securities; but wise in
vestors are now purposely putting a
portion of their funds into taxable
corporation bonds. They believe tha t
if this wild issuing of State, county
and municipal securities continues.
taxpayers will ultimately revolt and
defaults will follow. It's an old
proverb, Trees do not grow to the
Skies For the same reason taxes
cannot continue to increase indefi-
nitely without ausing trouble.
Warns Agninxt Tax Craze.
The real cause of this recent in
crease in such taxes is the great in
course, to automobiles. Automobiles
are all right and the industry is here
to stay; but we must not go tax
crazy. II we do we will kill the
goose that is laying the golden eggs.
Considering that all roads were
rough and muddy only a few years
ago, we should be satisfied with a
reasonable improvement from year to
year. We will have all concrete, as
phalt, brick and other hard surfaced
roads in due time; but let US have
them with moderation. 1t might be
well to measure our cloth" before
we form too many road districts and
blindly sell bond issues which are to
be a burden on our children and
grandchildren. There is no sense in
and economizing to save
hnoney for our children with one
fhand. while we burden them with
debt with the other.

bonds, community should not be
content to consider merely the
amount of the bond issue. The first
cost of a white linen suit may be less
than that of a dark thin worsted; but
at the end of few years, after the
laundry bills are paid, 1t will be
found that the heap linen suit may
have cost 800! The same principle
applies to the spending of money for
public improvements. A county may
well afford to spend $4,000 to elimi-

which when built Is done forever.
The same county may, however, not
be justified in spending money for
surfacing a road II a continual an
nual expense will be required to
maintain this road after it is built. The
original cost of a highway is like the
~ which the man gave the minister
for marrying him! 1t was only the
'fu'st ost." I believe in good roads
the same as l believe in good
churches. good schools and other
good things. But there can be too
many churches and too many schools.
Sees Ruin In Community Debts.
The great need of life is for us to
have things in their proper proper
ton according to our income and re-
special care when spending borrowed
money. Debts can ruin communities .
as well as individuals.
All of this means that we should
more carefully consider our State,
country and municipal expenditures.
There Is only so much money in the
country and this can be used either
for paying taxes OF for building
houses and buying clothing for the
children. 1t is well enough to go into
debt to limited amount for certain
things; but let us not mortgage our
future just to supply rich men with
n-taXable bonds.
Prosperity comes with a proper dis
tribution OF our labor and purchases.
Let us begin at one to give less
money to the tax collector and give
more to the local merchants who are
the ba cA bone of American prosperity.
