Senator Kendrick Was
Governor When Named
To United States Senate
Came to Washington During
World War and Recently
Was Reelected for Six
More Years.

Senator kendrick is one Of the
ber who was acting as governor of a
state when he was chosen to repre-
sent 1t at the seat Of the federal gov
ernment. He came to Washington in
1917, in the tumult which followed
the declaration of war against Ger
many, and he was recently elected
Tor full term in the Senate. Mrs.
kendrick has attained an exalted
place in the social world considering
mat she has been in Washington just
seven years and had no previous ex-
per1ence in it's complex system. In
1923 she was elected first vice presi-
dent of the Senatorial Women's Club,
ana became its active president. when
Mrs. Coolidge. its executive under the
rule made on its establishment. was
promoted to the role she fills so pleas
antly as First Lady of the Land. Mrs.
kendrick had been attracted to this
organization very strongly on her
her arrival in Washington, for it pre-
sented to the women who make up
the senatorial families, the same op-
portunity to know each other and to
get the viewpoint Of different sec
tions, which is enjoyed by the men in
their daily association with each
other.
In those days, 1917. the Senate
women formed a sewing class and
worked unremittingly on the gar
ments sent by the Red Cross. Mrs
Marshall. it's founder, was the presid-
ing lady and fine example of dill
gence and zeal in the work After
the armistice the members continued
to sew in order that the large sup
plies of material should be used and
they became accustomed to meetinp q
regularly and to bringing a. basket
lunch, which they shared with each
other. From this. the club grew into
a weekly luncheon, admirably man.
aged and always enjoyable. Mrs
Coolidge has found these weekly re-
inspiring of her social activities and
she has not missed one of them since
the season opened. and in addition,
she entertained the entire organiza-
tion at the initial meeting held in
the White House. BY consent. the

Picked from the Soil

The activities of the several de-
partments of the Minnesota state
government will be fully covered in
the exhibits which the state will
stage at the Minnesota state fair.
1t is planned to make these exhibits
centers of attraction for those who
attend the fair. Each department
will emphasize the main features of
its work. The state auditors depart
ment, for instance, will stress it's
work with state mines, with state
lands and in the field of taxation.
The work of the various institutions,
charitable and educational, will be
shown in exhibits. The department
of education, the department OF. for
estry, the game and fish commission,
and the dairy and food department,
as well as practically every other di-
vision of the state government will
be represented in these exhibits.
Special attention will be directed to
the work of the state department of
agriculture. Here is a chance for
citizens to get comprehensive idea
of the details of their state govern
ment. The distribution of state tax
es, the cost of building good roads,
the values of the lakes and streams
of Minnesota-these and many other
features of interest to the people of
the state will be outlined and illu-
strated in the exhibits. Representa-
tives of the various state departments
will be present to explain these fea-
lures in detail. The State exhibit
will be held in the big machinery
building on the fair grounds. There
will be music and seats will be pro-
vided for those who desire to rest.
The exhibits will occupy 10000 square
feet of floor space.

q price, somebody with big car will
do all the hard work. All the tourist
needs do is arrange himself in the
most comfortable position possible and
look at the scenery while the driver
watches the road. The machine is
chartered and will go anywhere the
within Of the tourist directs or the
condition of the highways permits.
The one-passenger or one family car,
however, is only one phase of touring
in a hired vehicle. The newer idea
is to lease motor bus and have it
driven wherever the trip is day, a
week or a month. In this manner
the tourists have their own convey
ance and avoid the incopvenience of
being responsible for it.
Still another variation being tried
by the owners Of motor buses is that
of arranging regular tours, leaving on
schedule time and stopping at interest
ing places. This follows the same
principle of the old time steam road
excursion, with the exception that the
motor car can go wherever there are
roads. Those who have engaged in
the tourist business so far this year
report that the venture promises tn
be successful. The number of per-
sons who wish to take advantage of
such opportunities is increasing and
within a few years this method Of
touring may be as common as the
present day sight of a heavily-laden
flivver, scooting from coast to coast.

Dairy Farming Sound

Care and common sense are first
essentials in successful dairying
dairying is the foundation of balanced
farming; if the buyer will select his
stock properly, using the best in
formation he can get on the grade
and quality of the cows, he need not
hesitate to accumulate dairy herd.
These are the outstanding beliefs Or
1900 bankers in the Ninth Federal
Reserve District, as reflected in direct
communications to the Northwest
Dairy Exposition Committee. which
is in charge of detailed arrangements
for the balanced farming show in con-
junction with the Minnesota State
Fair August 80 to September 6.
Dairy cattle should be purchased
from sellers of recognized standing
in order to minimize the chance OIL
fraud and disappointment and con-
sequent reaction against an essential
part of farming in the Northwest, the
bankers said.
1t is interesting to note that a
great many sections which are usu-
ally thought of as one-crop commuE-
tiles, list themselves as dairying dis
tricts.
There is absolutely no danger of
reaction against balanced agriculture
according to the judgment of 1,46O OF
the bankers. "The danger of reac-
ton against dairying and diversified
farming is a fallacy", is the way one
of them put it. A comparatively
small number of them, 217, admit that
there is slight chance of reaction.
Most of these replies come from sec
tions which have had very little ex-
perience with dairy animals, but
where the prevailing agricultural
pursuit has been grazing.
The trend of the movement to re-
place scrub animals with purebreds
of grades has been distinctly favor
able. Large increases have been
shown in the past few years in dairy
animals purchased by farmers. In
seventy-three per cent of the sections
in which the information was COM
piled there had been agitation for
purebred sire campaigns, and most
of them were to be conducted in the
near future.
The demand for grade cows is much
greater in most sections than the
demand for purebred animals. Bank
ers say that it is more profitable for
the average farmer to breed up his
scrub stock, than it is for him to get
his purebred stock direct. Three
fourths of the communities indicated
that the demand for grade cows ex-
ceeds the supplv.
Agricultural characteristics of the
sections from which the statistics
were gathered are as follows: 1349
bankers said that dairying prevailed
in their sections; 1850 said general
farming; $50, corn and hogs; 484,
beef cattle; AGA, wheat; and 1876, graz
ing. Many of the replies listed two
or even three of these types as being
characteristic of the section.
Correct feeding of dairy animals
with homegrown feeds, and a parti-
cular emphasis placed on balanced
ration. is the problem, most of the
bankers told the committee, which
confronts the average farmer who is
keeping fairly good cows. Many
suggested an exhibit showing the adj
vantage of homegrown feeds. In
accordance with these suggestions
the Northwest Dairy Exposition
Committee is planning such an exhibit
at the Exposition which is to be held
in conjunction with the Minnesota
State Fair, August 80 to September

Motor Touring

Tourists, these days, might rough
ly be divided into three classes those
who drive their own cars, those who
sit back and let hired driver steer,
keep the motor in order, change tires
and follow the proper route, and those
who go to their destination by rail.

There has been somewhat impatient
class that wishes it could go motor
ing. Membership in this class has
not always been confined to those who
do not own automobiles, for many
who do have no disposition to drive
them long distances or to go to the
bother that tour entails.
To meet the needs of the times the
motor tour is being organized. For

An answer othe cry that extensive
dairy development will lead to an
over-production of dairy products is
seen in the fact that 1861 of the
bankers said that the consumption
of milk products in their counties
could be doubled and in some cases
trebled if the milk supply was suf-
ficient to care for it.

 Q. How many watermelon and can taloupe seed should purchase for each acre to be planted? w. s., Lafayette, Alabama.
 A. The method of planting and dis tance you give the hills would have much to do with it. It is common prac- tice to make two plantings in the same hill about 10 or 15 days apart, par ticularly if the first planting be made early, so as to make sure of a perfect stand. Two to four pounds should be provided for an acre. 8 0. have forgotten the name of the plant I want, but it is an annual, grow ing up to a ,pyramidal shape about 2 to 8 feet high, has light green fea athery- like foliage, which turns red in the fall. I want to use for a summer and fall hedge. Can you identify the plant from my description? Miss M., Union Springs, Ala.
 :. A. Kochia, known also as summer cypress, is evidently the plant you refer to. It is easily and quickly grown from seed and most desirable plant for hedges, pots, urns or as specimens.

at twenty miles an hour, 1t gfvess1t4 call "tapper, tapper, tapper, which te quite distinct from all other noises au engine can make.
 For instance, if a main crankshaft bearing is loose this usually gives no sign when running a}eng easily but on hard pulling or during acceieraf1on it will say "thub, thub, thub, thubs with a much deeper and more subdueq tone than the ''tapper, tapper, tapper, of the loose connecting rod. zs
 Many of the sounds in the engine'4 vocabulary are much more alike ana rather hard to distinguish apart. For instance, a worn timing gear sometime< rattles in a way that suggests thes "tapper, tapper" of the loose connecting rod. If in doubt on this point find the speed on the level when the sound is loudest and then see if the same is true on a fair grade. If it is, the chances are that the connecting rod is not the sufferer.
 A light "tap-tap-tap" with rather q long period between the taps is usually valve tappet asking to be set closer to is valve so that it can push the valve open instead of beating its off it's seat. Valves properly set should never be absolutely soundless becausesi II { they are they are not hutting properiy.s Their song of contentment is yeryS similar to the note of sewing machinel heard a long way off. Now thisl gentle running sound should be almost of the same pitch at all ordinary en% zine speeds. The way to listen fOr3 valve messages is to find steep grade and run down with the ignition cut off < If everything sounds good up to say thirty miles an hour and then there is a sudden increase in noise, it means that the valve springs are weak or that the valves are sticking and should be taken out and cleaned or dosed with kerosene .#

 0. I want to top dress my lawn with some fertilizer that Is not unsightly and has little, if any, odor. What could you recommend? F. N, Florence, Ala.
 A. A very light dressing of finely broken up nitrate of soda might serve the purpose, but care must be exercised to use only light sprinkling. Cotton seed meal is quite frequently used. Bone meal is desirable and the odor is not very great. Prepared sheep manure is very good, and while there is some odor, it Is not unsightly.
 0. I want to plant out quite a few gladioli, not the early blooming kind, but the later standard sorts. Last year my gladioli bloomed too early and at a time when I could not use them. What sorts do you recommend? Mrs. J., Gadsden, Ala.
 A. The so-called late sorts embrace some of the best as follows: America, baronhulst, halley, Francis King, Mrs. Frank Pendleton, Niagara, Panama, peace and schwaben, These are stand ards, moderate in price, some of which are much better than some new sorts that may cost ten times as much. One can have these beautiful flowers coming to bloom in succession if the bulbs be planted out at intervals.
 0. How deep in the soil should one set out tomato plants? Mrs. M., Salem, Alabama. <,i A. This would depend somewhat or

the size and length of the plant. Long, leggy plants must go down deep, smaller ones not quite so deep. Too much stem should not be left above ground because the wind will blow the plant about and often cause serious injury. Deep planting is recommended, but it is positively necessary to prepare the soil deeply where each plant is to rest. Most people wait until the ground is wet and merely put a hole in the ground with a stick and drop the plant in. This is not the proper way and besides think it's best to set out when the ground is not wet.
 O. Can one plant onion seed this late and produce a crop of dry onions or had I better use sets? R. F., Fort Payne, Ala. - =z--. h.
 A. You could hardly produce market able sized onions from seed planted this late but they might grow large enough for home use. Now is the prop CT time to SOW onion seed thickly in drills to produce sets that might be set out in the fall.
 You can produce fair-sized onions from the dry onion sets put out now.
 o. I have Dorothy Perkins rose that ran all over creation last year and want to reduce it's size. How should lit be cut and would there be danger this late? Miss T., Tuskegee, Ala. A. There would be no danger in pruning this late, but would confine the cuts to the numerous, side branches ,1his variety always produce. For this

HEAV VElyLY TWINS TEST PARACH()TES
And If Anything Happens To
 Them, Nobody Cries Over. It

PHILADELPHIA, March 15.--{By Associated Press -Leaping 1000 feet or more to earth at the end of sway ing. parachute that may be either good or defective, is the perilous business of Lucy" and Hilbert" the heavenly twins" of the naval air service.
 The twins claim certain portion of the naval aircraft factory at the Phila- delphia navy yard as their birthplace. For them life is not only a series of ups and downs, but full of many striking incidents, especially when parachutes fail to open.
 Named by the air sailors, the twins are singularly unattractive in appear ance. Their chances for winning a beauty contest are nil, for their coun- tenances, ashen gray from birth, are kept that way by the hazardous na- ture of their duties.
 Made in the semblance of human form, "Eucy" and Hilbert" weigh re lspectively 1S0 and 300 pounds each. They work in the summer flying cos tune of the air force, but their consti- tuition is said by the sailors to consist mainly of coiled rope covered with can vass, with enough buckshot in their chests to bring them to the specified WcASuts EeuuiEcu AVr paf faShuSo sSS s&t.6 dummies.
 Leather boots and gloves, and a pic turesque loop knot on top of their heads complete their costumes. The loop is their sole means of support--from the parachute. q 1ss@ ~
 As soon as the aircraft factory com pletes new Lucy" or s'Filbert," the newcomer in aviation is shipped to one of the naval flying stations. A num- Der of them are at work at ,Lakehurst,. N. J., where the big dirigible, Shenan- doah, is being groomed for the polar flight. They test the parachutes pro vided for the quick descent of the crew of the airship in case of accident in the clouds. The tests vary. Lucy or "Filbert" may be assigned to hurtle downward from .lazily swaying kite balloon, or they may be showed off the wing of an airplane speeding at 125i miles an hour. Despite their many hard knocks and terrific falls, their friends, the sailors, say they have never failed to report for work the next day.
