NORTHWEST WIND
DRIVES C0BB0SSEE
ICE into C0VES

Though the greater part of the
eXpanse of Lake CobbosSeecontee
was clear of ice Sunday, there was
still enough ice remaining in Fairs
Cove near the Outlet and along the
Emery shore, SO that the fish and
game warden on duty at the lake
declared that it was still officially
closed TO Spring fishing. Similar
conditions prevailed a year ago,
when though the open lake was free
of ice and navigable practically from
end TO end, the ardent devoteeS of
the early fishing pursuit were held
off, for several days until the ice,
which was damned in Fairs Cove,
was broken up.
The stiff northwest wind of Sun
day was just the force necessary to
dispense the ice field, driving the
floating cakes toward the outlet and
effectually blocking that part of the
lake from Fairs Cove to the Emery
shore.
There were many fishermen who
had their gear and tackle in readi-
ness for use Sunday, who were dis
appointed, and there was some eX-
preston of dissatisfaction over the
ruling which did not permit them to
lake was open water.
Richard J. Upton, chief game
warden of Kennebec county, when
asked last evening for an interpreted
ton of the law in regard to the ice
being out of the lake, said that when
the warden on duty, could navigate
the lake with q motor boat from one
end to the other and from side to
side then IL would be officially clear
Warden Upton did not anticipate
that the ice jam in the cove and on
the Emery shore would hold up mat
ters for long, and said that almost
any kind of wind from the south
southeast or eastward would break
up the remaining ice.
The ice went out on April - last
year, SO that even with a delay of
two or three days now, the lake W..
be clear a full two weeks earlier
than a year ago.

When countrywide contests in kitch-
en- improvement were instituted in
Yellowstone and Richland counties,
Montana, by extension workers of the
State Agricultural College and the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, number of women wanted
to compete for prizes. They came to
the series of four meetings conducted
in each community by the county
home demonstration agents, the home
economics specialist and the State
college engineering specialist, and
listened to talks on water systems,
waste disposal, arrangement of equip
ment, homemade and commercial
equipment, refinishing of walls, wood
work and floors, and the making of
time schedule. Many men were just
as interested as their wives. The eX-
tension agents scored the conditions
found before beginning improvements,
to be compared with the changes made
in the allotted three months.
in nearly every one of the 140
kitchens entered in the two counties
light and ventilation were improved,
either through added windows, fixing
windows to open at the top, or putting
in better artificial ligh. The introduce
ton of running water in 81 homes and
Of hot water in 7 was a big step for
ward. Many hours of work and miles
of steps were eliminated by a better
arrangement of the large pieces of
kitchen equipment, so that work could
be routed effectively. Better sanitary
conditions were provided by the intro
duction of drainage into cesspools or
septic tanks, by the installation of
improved garbage pals, and by dis
continuing the use of the kitchen sink
as lavatory. A great deal of kitch-
en- furniture was rcfinished, as we'll as
walls, ceilings and floors. Sometimes
SO simple an improvement as revers
ing the window shade or putting cas-
ters on the woodboX made big diff
ference in the appearance and comfort
Of the room. The value of many
changes made could not be measured
except in its effect on the time and
energy expenditure of the house wife,
and the stimulus given to the entire
home by having one room in it made
fresh, comfortable and convenient.
