Heifers Make Flivver3
Possible

A Georgia weekly paper
edited right out among the
farms says theer still are a few
folks who insist that dairy cows
and diversified crops that go
along with the cows do not pay,
but:
We have noticed during the
summer months that these fellows
have the cash money TO pay for
what they need Saw one eff
these birds driving a brand new
flyver the ogEcr day, and Won
ret JersoT heifer that he paid
cash sar il.
Thousands Of dollars in cash
is being paid out here in Ameri-
Gus every week by the local
creamery-cash to meet the
daily expenses; cash to visit the
picture show occasionally; cash
to buy a new suit or dress; cash
that purchases more than credit.
And then there's the fertilizer
and the skinned milk for little
chicks and pigs. Besides the
cash TO buy a new flivver.

Folly to Lose Heart
in Sight of Success

One Of the worst evils wrought by
the sin of encouragement is that we
are tempted to stop when we are just
on the eve of realized success, and
almost in sight of the richest bless
ings. Up near the summit of Mount
Washington, l once saw Il cairn of
stones to mark the spot where a poor
girl perished from exposure and heart
failure on cold night. Her father
and she had rashly attempted to as
cend the mountain without Il guide Git
was many years agO), and they had
become lost, and had sat down be-
wildered when the chilling darkness
of the autumnal night came on. The
next morning the distracted father
discovered that very short distance
more would have brought him in sight
of the lights from the windows of
the "Tip-tOp" cabin. Here is a bit
of parable to illustrate how those
who are doing not rash things but
wise things may he tempted to lose
heart, and to relax their efforts when
they We're almost in sight Of success

Franklin's Idea Retained

OF course you've heard the story
about Benjamin Franklin munching a
loaf of bread on the streets of Phlla
delphia, but do you know that that i'm
mortal character started a munching
custom at the Pennsylvania hospital
that has continued down to the present
day and promises to last as long as
the institution? In the early days of
its existence the hospital had quite u
struggle to get along. Franklin, al
ways interested in its welfare, hap
pened in one day and was told, among
other things, that the young doctors
were getting scarcely enough to eat.
Touched by the tale, Franklin imme-
diately visited Il store and brought
back huge bag of ginger cookies.
From that day to this a supply of gin
ger cookies has been on hand for the
interneS to MUNICH between meals.
They are kept in tin boxes, readily ac-
cessible to interneS or night duty or
others who are just naturally hungry
most of the time-Philadelph Record.

Sink Wells to Drain
Waterlogged Lands

Berkeley, Cal.-Drainage of overir-
rigated lands by pumping from deep
wells is the latest method put into use
hy farmers Of the Pacific coast states
IN their fight against alkali or water
ls&ged soil.
Drainage by deep bitches or by TIL
ing had proved to cost $40 to $50 an
acre and had usually necessitated for
nation of drainage districts and issu-
ance Of bonds secured by lands which
were already part Of bond-carrylng E-
NNation districts.
The deep-well pumping system was
originated six years ago, and now more
than 400 wells are draining nearly
100000 acres
The wells are 125 to 200 feet deep
and the water is pumped by electric
driven rotary turbines. Each pump will
maintain the underground water at
any desired subsurface level over ap-
psoximatcly $50 acres.
The principal point in favor Of the
well and pump drainage Is that it de-
hvers TO tie surface water available
for irrigation worth more than the cur
rent needed to run the electric pumps.

Cleaning Ornaments

BronZes and gilt ornaments can be
cleaned only by brushing carefully
with fine quality, small paint brushes
When too dull and shabby they must
be done over by professional. When
the cheaper quality of gilt frames get
shabby, take enough -four OF sulphur
to give Il golden tinge to a pint and a
half of water and add four bruised
onions. Boil 20 minutes, then strain
and cool. Wipe the dust from the
frame, and with a small, soft brush
paint it over with the liquid, then set
aside to dry. When dry it will look al
most like new. The more expensive
big frames must be regilded by pro-
fessional when very shabby, though
they may be touched up once or more
times with this liquid, which will help
their appearance.

EXPLAINS PLANS TO CHECK
EPIDEMIC OF INFLUENZA
Or. E. o. Jordan of Chicago Tells
Health Experts There Is No
Certain Preventive.

st. Iouis.-Declaring that it is i'm
possible TO prevent altogether another
endemic of influenza by methods Of
. qriArantine and isolation, DR.. +. O.
Jordan, head of the University of Chi
cato department OF baCteriology, dis
cuAsed the efficacy Of various prevent
i've measures before the American
Public Health association here.
Practical difficulties In the way OF
administering efficient vaccination On
a worldwide scale during an influenza
outbreak seem so insuperable that we
can hardly make 1t the basis OF a pro-
tecttve campaign, he said Face masks,
he characterized as having limited ap-
plieHblllty. Chlorine and similar gases
he dismissed because they have not
YET proved Of decisive prOphylactic
vAue.
V believe, however" Doctor Jordan
continued, that something can be done
TO lower the attack rate In favOrably
situated small groups, to protect some
individuals altogether and to lessen
tlAC WI ulNll'C Oll llC put VI lIN az
cessory microbes. Difficult to apply,
and uncertain of success as it may be-
the minimizing of contact seems at
present to offer the best chance we
have of controlling the ravages Of
influenza.
at is now clear that the first esti-
mates Of the loss of life caused by the
influenza epidemic of 1918 were too
low. The disclosures of the census Of
British India of 1921 and other data
that have since come to hand make
an estimate OF 20000.000 deaths in the
whole population of the world prob
ably not wide of the mark. This is
comparahly the worst catastrophe of
the sort that has visited the human
race since the black death of the
Middle ages.
"Judging by the past nothing Is
more certain than that we shall some
day have another visitation of this
destructive infection. It Is not to be
doubted that if it were to descend
upon us tomorrow we would. as pub
lie health workers and students Of
the disease, be little, If at all, better
equipped to deal with it than we were
seven years ago. 1t Is conceivable
however, that If We occasionally re-
mind ourselves of the gaps in our
knowledge we shall be in a position to
study more advantageously the mani
festatiOns Of the disease even in the
presence of an epidemic period There
are certainly also lines of direct in
vestfgation which can be prosecuted
today with some hope of rendering
ourselves better prepared to cope with
X the next epidemic

ColorfuI Finnish Markets

Patient Hand Worker
RcpEoced By Mqchire

In centuries past all ornamental
IRON work WAS wrought by hand with
no better tools than IL forge. il ham
mer, an anvil and Il cold chisel.
Tie worker in iron was true art
list. He probably spent days in work
ing several bars into small candela-
bra. When 1t came to making up a
large ornamental gate-why, that was
labor for months. Now, h0wever. con-
ditions are greatly changed We mod
erns are wOrshipers of fetish-pro-
duction. Machines grind out our or
naments as well as almost everything
else that touches our lives.
There have been reVerSals, however,
and we at least admire the handsome
wrought work of the past. In fact,
there are still among us men who can
duplicate it, but they are few and
their time is extremely valuable.
Most of us do not care TO spend Il
thousand dollars for hand-wrOught
candelabra or bridge lamp and vet
we desire these in period design.
Fortunately, we are not required to
fOrego possession of such objects. An
Oxy-acetylene welding and cutting out
fit in the hands, not of natural born
artist, or of a highly trained crafts
man, but rather just practical op-
orator, will greatly cut the time and
cost of producing the most intricate
of ornamental iron products. All the
welder needs is photograph or
sketch to work FROM
