hard, glossy surface.
Colors for foor-painting no
longer are limited to mahogany
brown, sand-color or slate grey.
The black floor has been found to
offset brighter colors effectively.
And the red, blue, green, yellow
or orange floor now furnishes the
key to many a charming color
scheme, and forms an attractive
background for the patterned rug
with a dark or black border.
A dining or kitchen floor
may safely be painted such colors
as red, orange or yellow. Green
and blue, being more restful, are
better adapted to bedroom floors.
A brightly painted floor, however,
necessitates the toning down of
color in the furnishings of room,
lest superabundance Of it prove
exhausting to the nerves.
Floors may be painted in two
tones, in border. tiled or checker
board effects. This type Of floor
is especially suitable 70 the sun
room. the bathroom and the
porch.

TlHE four greatest years of my life,
~ l think, have been the ones which
I have spent in club work. In the
spring of 1922 became interested In
club work and also in Jersey cattle so
visited two Jersey herds in this
county and selected heifer calf
which was then six months old. My
father paid for this calf, which cost
$125. He wanted me to buy some
grade heifers but l wanted purebreds,
as / had planned on owning a pure
bred herd sometime, SO thought that
now was a good time to start.
When got MY heifer home began
breaking her to lead. It did not take
very long to get her to lead we'll and
stand to perfection, for a heifer that
leads and stands we'll in a show ring
mas much better chance of winning
the blue ribbon than heifer that
does not handle well. This l have
learned at the last four county fairs.
That summer fed my heifer, which
was named "Cowslip's Golden Star,"
ration of corn, oats and bran, equal
parts, along with plenty of white
clover and blue grass pasture. This
is another thing that have learned
that heifer that is always fed well
will be a better producer and a bet
ter show animal.
have always been complimented
at the fairs for having my stock in
good condition and I take much pride

Mechanical Science Is

BY utilizing Western Electric

executives of Timely Films, Inc,
producers of Topics of the Day,
have inauguratcd new departure
by combining mechanical science i'll

Employing two audiometers. the
Topics editorial staff and three III
vestigators from the Scientific
Equipment Division OF the (Iraybar
Electric Company recently carried
out the experiment at the Riverside
Theatre, New York City, before an
audience of 1000 people.
FROM a trial program of 70 topics
the audiometer selected 10 for the
regular release program by meas
uring the amplitude of the audible
reaction as a response to each joke.
With one audionieter on the stage
in full view Of the audience--an the
other placed in the center aisle ucar
the orchestra floor, two readings
were made and when compared
were found to be exactly alike.
Having listened with this scien
tific device to the noisicst street COR

were enabled to make interesting

TN the modern enthusiasm for
color in decoration, the floor
has not been overlooked. Bright
color has been creeping into the
home with increasing holiness,
largely due to the growing popu-
,arity of painted surfaces. For

through its medium, the color
scheme Of room may be so cas-

more and more for walls, wood
work and furniture. And now
comes vogue for the brightly
painted floor.
The new floor Of soft wood and
the old floor that has become worn

painting. So, also, is the floor
built Of wide boards. When the

The Story Of a Successful Calf Club Boy


in being able to give my stock plenty
of good feed and kind treatment.
also believe that person who can not
be kind to animals will never succeed.
In June the county agent wrote me
a letter telling me that the American
Jersey Cattle Club was Offering SIS
each to the first 33 calf clubs organ
lied in the United States with 20 or
more members. The county agent
asked me If I thought we could get
IA more members as we already had
six, and l told him that thought we
could. So we spent several evenings
asking boys and girls to join the calf
club Almost every boy we asked
joined our club and we soon had %
members, as we thought it best to
get a few more than the required
number for some one might drop out
of the club and we had to have 20
calves at the county fair in order to
qualify for the prize money.
Shortly after we had gotten our %
members, which was then the largest
Jersey Calf Club in the state, we had
banquet and elected the officers fol-
the coming year. AS had assisted SC
much in organizing the club and had
shown so much interest they elected
me president, an office which l held
for two years.
The county fair was to be Septem

girls how to fit calf for the fair and
also how to blanket and care for thei1
calves just before the fair. Each boy
and girl deposited seventy-fiye cents
in the treasury and We purchased
clipping machine to clip our calves
with. iaa
The first morning of the fair 81 OF
the boys and girls had their calves In
place. My heifer won second prize,
so right then l decided to give my
heifer still better care and try and
win first the next year.
That winter, 1929, thought that
| would also like to join the Pig Club
as cattle and swine went we'll to-
gether so purchased Chester
White pig from neighbor boy This
pig was 10 weeks old and cost me SIS
and was later named Stevens Queen.
She was rather small for her age when
I got her, so l began feeding her ra-
ton OF oats and barley.
That summer, which was my sec.
ond year in club work, took good
care Of my heifer and gilt 30 they
would be In good condition by fair
time. My sow farrowed seven pigs
just before the fair so l did not take
her to the fair as we thought 1t best
not to move her about, but took my
heifer and won first prize in both the
open and club classes. This pleased
me very much and l felt that had
really accomplished something.
On December 81, 1923, my heifer
dropped fine heifer calf, which was
named Evergreen's Foxie Lass. Our
farm is named Evergreen Farm, so
Include the name OF the farm in my
Rstock names.
In February. 1924, had six fat hogs
to sell. which brought me $40. also
sold grade COW and two heifers
which I had and with the money
purchased the dam Of my first club
heifer This cows name is Stars
Rambler and was eight years old when
l bought her. She dropped heifer
calf shortly afterwards, but very un-
fortunately, this calf died.
In the spring of 1924 my SOW far.
rowed eight pigs and l sold seven OF
them for IS each and kept the best
SOW pig for my future brood SOW. and
also sold my old SOW to my father for
$40. There were IL club members In
the swine club at this time 30 was
chosen as assistant leader for that
club. There was small Cow Testing
Association organized that spring and

along that line In high school. My

May mention here that in the fall
of 1928 our County All Club held a
banquet and business meeting? was
asked TO tell what cluD work mao
meant to me and how had cared for
my club stock. At that time was

The following spring was selected

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

You, no doubt, know Of people who
look robust and ford and are appar
emily in perfect health. who often
boast that they have never had a doc
tor in their lives. They are usually
thick set, very feshy and have snorl
neck. In spite of boasting, their Dioou
pressure often gets very high anu
rupture of blood vessel IN the Drain
takes place without warming. Ihelr
premature death results because they
did not learn by a health audit into
what danger their habits of living
were leading them.
High blood pressure indicates that
the individual has lived under too
great tension or has inherited or &C
quired blood disease. In such case
the blood vessels have become hard
ened as result of the deposit of lime
salts and other changes in their walls.
When this condition is present the
individual is in danger of heart and
kidney disease or of rupture OF
blood vessel in the brain with sudden
death or paralysis. Hardened blood
vessels aften feel beaded like a pipe
stem. This is normal condition OF
old age, but is not commonly seen in
a man in the fifties unless he has
ruined his body by dissipation or too
strenuous living in total disregard of
the laws of health.
Great mental strain coupled with
overeating may cause early harden
ing of the blood vessels. High blood
pressure may cause an enlarged heart.
Attacks of agonizing pain over the
heart are frequent after a full meal
in a man over fifty who is suffering
with diseases of the heart or blood
vessels. Cases of instantaneous death
are often result of this condition.
Cases Of so-called Sudden death"
would not be so common if careful
examinations of the heart, kidneys
and blood vessels were made every
year. %
