HELP.
TEACHERS To
PAYRENT
Florida Board Takes Over
Apartments, Letting Them
Out at Cost

Keeping the rent within the budget
rrhon rents are booming and the
budget remains on a pre-boom basis
Ia a difficulty that has been met for
che teachers of Miami, Fla, by the
timely assistance of the Miami
realty board.
The board, a member of the Ma
tionaI Association of Real Estate
Boards was asked for aid in the
housing problem that faced the
board of education in the early part
of November, when most or the IN
structors in the city schools would
have been forced to pay much high
er rents or move to undesirable dis
tricts.
A committee Of realtors appoint
ed to study the problem remedied
the situation by obtaining a newly.
built apartment house which was
turned over to the city teachers.
Bought by a holding company, COM
posed of realtors. 1t was offered
to the board Of educators at a rent
that covers the carrying charges,
but allows no profit.
The building, which houses more
than forty persons, is much like
a club, being chaperoned and man.

teachers.

SWEDEN MAKES
LODGINGS Of
BARRACKS
Disbanding one-third of Old
time Regiments Aids Many
in Apartment Shortage

STOCKHOLM, Dec. L. Military
establishments in Sweden-made
vacant by the Riksdag decision to
reduce the army-are now to be
used Tor peaceful purposes. By dis
banding about one-third of the old
time regiments several barracks
and training fields have been rem
dered vacant and their best utfl-
ization is one of the questions OF
the day.
Two Stockholm caserns the city
has turned into temporary homes
for families, not otherwise able to
find lodgings. In the so-called
''Sievert Barracks where former
~ gold.braided officers had their
quarters at public expense, about
one hundred families were temper
arily installed at the great semi
annual moving period this fall I'M
I'll ordinary apartments should be-
come available.
In many instances new houses,
where flats had been engaged, were
not ready at the stipulated date.
In the same building the city also,
occasionally, provides housing for
families that have been burnt out,
or otherwise deprived by accident
Of their regular dwellings. Anoth-
er emergency shelter the city pos
sesses is the old barracks OF the
Evea Engineer Corps, as well as
in the gymnasium Of the Police
headquarters. But of five hundred
families that had reported before
October ], they were unable to find
new homes for themselves, less
than one hundred and eighty ac-.
tually needed help, the rest having
been able to take care of them
selves after all.

empty barracks and training
grounds. The most common sug-

SATISFACTORY WAY
OF MARKING CANS

In checking milk and cream ship
cries, we find that quite number Of
the milk and cream cans are not prop
erly marked SO that they can positive
ly be identified. Most any farmer or
dairyman can tell his own can by some
peculiar mark or particular dent or
scratch on the can, but he must re-
member these marks mean nothing to
stranger.
Milk cans that are shipped in by
truck sometimes have no marks on
them or are partly worn off.
Usually the truck driver or the man
at the milk plant can tell whose can
1t is, but If strange truck driver or
new man at the milk plant be on the
job, he would be unable to recognize
these cans.
Farmers who ship cream by truck
or rail should not depend too much ON
the common tag that is usually used.
1t may get wet and the writing on 1t
be obliterated or ii may become torn
Off and lost.
There are several ways of marking
your cans that are satisfactory. A
brass name plate may be soldered on
the can or brass tag attached to the
link which holds the cover to the can.
bearing the owners name and address.
Another way Is to havS your name
and address embossed in the body of
the can. This can be done when you
buy new can. The cost of emboss-
ing the name and address In the body
Of the can Is about so cents for a
single can and less where more are
done at the same time.
If for some reason you prefer to
paint your name and address on the
cans, be sure to put 1t on plainly and
look 1t over occasionally to assure
yourself it can be understood by 9TH
ers.
If a can Of cream should arrive with
out any tag or Identification as to who
sent the can, the only thing the ex-
press company can do is to sell the
cream and await developments which
come only after long delay and annoy
ance to all concerned. Remember the
express company and the creameries
and milk plants handle thousands of
cans every day and they all look alike
to them, If not properly marked.-W.
FL. Skitt, Dairy Inspector, Colorado

outside wanted to get in. Other
sounds Notwithstanding sounds.
For moment he listened in puzzled
confusion, unable to interpret them.
Then, under his breath, he swore

Ing. He felt 1t bump against his door

caution. The thing seemed to have
! no objection whatever to being heard.
In some way 1t was drawing itself up
to the transoms There were padded
sounds against the glass. There
seemed to be definite effort to open
the transOm.
/ He was sitting up again, with un.
swerving eyes upon that transom. And
now, at last, he saw something 1t
was hand and arm, very large and
dark. The hand clutched avidly but
futilely at the top of the transom, in
| an apparent effort to release the catch.
|. But the catch was on Renshaws side.
The transom did not open. For an
other instant the clutching hand
moved and even seemed to beckon.
Then 1t disappeared, and simultane-
ously there was again the sound of a
heavy fall, this time just outside the
door. That was followed by the
crawling sound, growing fainter by de-
grees, and then by silence.
Renshaw moistened his lips. The
situation was simply incredible, but

CHAPTER " Continued

Madame Hvoeslef was walking
slowly toward the staircase. He ac-
companied her in silence. On the low
est step she stopped and looked at
him. The look was a peculiar one,
intense, doubtful, almost suspicious.
Under 1t he Strengthened, and his own
eyes hardened as they squarely met
hers. He objected to being SO OBJ
viousIy weighed by this foreigner, and
he saw no reason why he should not
show it. Her glance changed sudden
ly. She became again the fascinating
woman of the dinner hour
"A1r. Campbell has told me-" she be-
gan graciously. in her rather throaty,
velvet-soft voice and excellent Eng
lish, shat you will perhaps be SO
kind as to do me service"
Renshaw inclined his head.
II am here to be Of USE" he said
formally.
"You are so good" Madame Hvoes-
lef's manner warmed still more. She
sent swift glance up and down the
deserted hall. 1T Is little journey

without lowering his voice. Its clear
pitch seemed to alarm her. She
looked about apprehensively.
Eyes, she murmured; "after break
fast-in the study. Thank you, then
and good night"
She threw in her most charming
smile with that, but Renshaw's I'M
accustomed lips could not return the
smile.
"Good night, Madame" he said with
grave courtesy, and returned to the
living room.
He was conscious that she did not
at once continue her little journey
up the stairs. Instead, she remained
motionless, looking after him. He

Cow at Calving Time Is
Entitled to Right Care

A Wisconsin dairy expert recon-
mends the following care Of the milk
COW at calving time:
Have cows in good condition to In.
sure reserve energy and body tissues
for milk production.
Provide comfortable box stall OF
suitable place for calving.
Be prepared to treat an attack OF
milk fever by having milk-fever out
fit to initiate udder with air.
Blanket COW Immediately after
calving If weather endangers her be-
coming chilled.
Do not milk cows completely dry for
48 hours after calving.
Feed cows sparingly the first few
days after calving.
Warm water and few quarts of
scalded bran or oats and good hay Is
sufficient for the first day or two
after calving. Gradually work cows
on to full feed, which ordinarily re-
quires two to three weeks.
Be careful not to Overfeed.
Remove the afterbirth If necessary
inside of 48 hours after calving, and
do not allow the COW to eat 1t.
Remove the calf from Its mother
after the first two to four days, and
teach 1t to drink from pail.

his mind worked on it with gratifying
briskness.
Seemingly the thing, whatever 1t
was, fell out Of some room into the
hall. Yet no animal or human being
heavy enough to make that noise In
dropping could possibly crawl through
a transom Nevertheless, the thing
had apparently made an effort to
crawl through his transom. Also, 1t
had made an effort to open his door.
That seemed sufficient proof that the
thing itself had not locked his door.
Some one else had done So Who?
Presumably the door had been locked
to guard him. Why, and from what?
And If he had to be guarded from
some animal or mailman, why the
devil hadn't Campbell told him SO?
Renshaw found no answer to these
questions, though they occupied his
mind to degree that forbade sleep.
For long time he brooded upon them,
while renewed silence settled over the
house. Then he rose and went to the
door. Instantly the knob yielded to
his hand. The door swung back. Be-
yond it was the reassuring sweep Of
the long, black, empty hall; and
around him folded the peaceful 81
lence of soundly sleeping household.
