Marlboro.

"Strawberries from Field to
Shortcake" and Making Poultry
Pay" are the titles of two moving
pictures which will be shown at the
annual Farm Bureau meeting Janu-
airy II.
Marlboro has this fall been a real
wild game producing locality. Sew
eral deer have been shot, numerous
foxes have been taken, and black
ducks and other species of the duck
family have been numerous.
Marlboro's roads have stood up
exceedingly we'll during the recent
rains and unfavorable weather con-
ditions. This is due to a great ex-
tent. to the fact that the roard COM
missioner used a very heavy grade
of gravel in making repairs. Some
of the summer visitors made un.
favorable comment when this gravel
was applied but the true test comes
in the spring and fall, when the
value of heavy surfacing IS ap'
parent.

Vurnish Under Furniture

There are great many pieces OF
furniture In all homes that have new
er been vanished on the bottom or
back because these surfaces are not
exposed to view. Unvarnished wood
readily absorbs moisture from the air.
This causes 1t to swell and to contract
as the wood dries out. Warping and
loose joints follow. A coat Of var
nish on these unseen parts will ex-
clude moisture and prevent trouble.
