Thus grape juice is recognized
as a valuable, If little used, addi-
ton to diet. 1t contains 1880 per
cent of sugar, and is the most
easily digested form Of carbo-
hydrate. 1t has trifle over 1
per cent OF protein, many valua-
Bile salts and a high water con-

nourishing, and diluted it makes
a stimulating beverage.
The banana is one of the most
nutritious of fruits. 1t ranks
in food value with potato, corn
and green peas. Thoroughly ripe
bananas we'll chewed are easily
digestible. The banana, with the
potato, is useful in preventing
acidosis. 1t is particularly valua-

DESTED, eyes are always bet.
The most beautiful eyes in the
world lose. their charm when
they are subjected to strain,
while eyes in no way. remarkable
for size, formation or coloring
may given an impression Of
beauty if they are kept rested
and given only harmonious
thoughts to express.
Many a woman who gives scru-
pulous care to her complexion,
her hair, her teeth, her figure,
subjects her eyes to constant
ances all her other efforts.
When you meet a person you
look, first of all, into her eyes,

dividuality.
How much OF charm or lowell
ness can be expressed by eyes
swollen, red and surrounded by
a network of crows.feet and
wrinkles, due to eye-strain.
The shape of your nose, the
angle of your chin, may not be
within your control. But you can
always make sure that your eyes
look their loveIiest and are clear
mirrors OF your inner self.
Many women strain their eyes
by long hours of close concentra-
ton at near work. Your work
should not be brought nearer
your eyes than IL inches. If
your occupation requires close
application and constant use of
your eyes. rest them often by
looking at far-away horizons.
Next TO sleep, this is the best rest
for the eyes.
Close your eyes for a few mo-
ments now and then during the
day. This will not only prove
restful TO your eyes, but will help
to smooth out nerve lines from
your face.

3. GEOGRAPHY. From Eng.
land to Bombay, via Cape of Good
Hope, is 10000 miles. BY way of
the Suez Canal it is only 1920
miles.
4. BUSINESS. The secret OF
good management is knowing ex-
actly what you want your en-
ployes to do, and then seeing
that they do it in the best and
cheapest way.
5. MANKIND. 1t is estimated
that $4,000, 900 persons attend the
movies each week in the United
States.
6. HUMAN NATURE. The
fund of ideas which a person has,
determining his outlook and opin-
ions on a certain subject, is called
his complex.
z. GENERAL SCIENCE. The
most common form of spectrum
is the strip Of rainbow colors,
produced on screen, when ordi-
nary white light is broken by a
prism.
8. LAW. A receiver of an in
solvent corporation may not be
sued, without the express per-
mission of the court which APP
pointed him.
8. CIVICS. The Reclamation
Service Is branch of the U. s.
Department of the Interior.
10. ART. A cartoon originally
meant a first drawing from which
the finished picture was to be

the farms did not increase in pro-
portion to the receipts.
:. The farms with the larger
dairy business paid best in spite of
the fact that milk prices were on
the whole unsatisfactory. The cows.
however, must be good ones.
3. Poultry. AS a rule the farms
with the larger sales from this
source paid larger income. A flock

Kennebec Co. To Try
For Silver Shield In
Membership Drive

The Maine Federation Of Farm
Bureaus has offered silver shield
as a prize to the County Farm Bu-
reau which does the best work in the
coming membership campaign, and
both Somerset and Kennebec Farm
Bureaus have thrown their hats in
the ring. The active campaign in
the Kennebec Valley will begin Mon
day, September 20 and both Farm
Bureaus believe that they have a fair
chance to success.
Kennebec officials especially feel
that their chances are good because
Kennebec was tied for third place
in the contest last year and won the
, second prize the year previous.
N. Merle Grover. Secretary Of the
Kennebec Farm Bureau, states that
at a recent meeting of the county
executive committee the county was
divided into six districts for the pur-
poses Of the campaign. A member
Of the county committee has been
appointed in each district as cam
paign manager. The managers and
the districts which come under their
supervision are Albion, Benton and
Winslow. H. A. Plummer Of Benton,
manager; Riverside, Vassalboro and
Weber Pond, Mrs. D. E. Foster, of
Augusta, manager; China, South

Conferences in each district will
be held next week which will be az
tended by the district managers and
the chairmen of both mems divisions
and women's divisions or their rep
resentatives in each community in
the district. At these conferences
plans will be completed for conduct
ing the campaign, which will end on
the day of the county annual meet
ing, which is to be held at Augusta,
November End.
Somerset county will conduct her
campaign along similar lines and a
strenuous effort will be made to
bring this prize into the Kennebec
Valley. The Silver Shield was won
last year by Washington County and
the previous year by Hancock

.. Soil fertility. Hay yield re.
Meets very accurately the condition
OF the farm. Farms that are in
good state of fertility as shown by
the hay yield per acre show the best
returns.
3. Local market. Farmers who
are making proper use of local mar
kets are apparently doing better
! than others. Transportation and
handling costs are reduced to the
minimum when such markets are
supplied direct. It will pay many
farmers to spend little time study
ing the local market and planning
their business to supply the demand.

To Standardize
Apple Varieties

The main purpose Of the orchard
planting plan project, root graft pro-
ject and present grating demonstra-
tons Of the Farm Bureau is and has
been to standardize varieties to bring
about better marketing conditions
Eight standard varieties test suited
to our conditions was decided upon by
group Of leading apple men. These
varieties have been secured for grow
ers by the above named plans to the
tune" Of 5000 young trees, 17,1oO
root graft and 10 grating demonstra-
tons during the last four years. The
grating will be carried over this year
and consist Of the bark, side, strap,
bud and root graft, graft methods. The
side graft is superior to the cleft graft
in that the huff is not split. The
strap graft has the advantage of never
blowing out. The bark grating is a
very easy, simple method that works
especially well with beginners as do
the two mentioned above. The bud
and root graft are used on Seeding
STOCK. The Extension Service is now
beginning to try growing our stock
from the seed. A few Maine nursery
men have grown stock fully as good
or better than we get from away and
has the advantage of less shock due
to shorter shipments, less express and
one may go and see the stock he is
buying and make satisfactory adjust
ments later more easily if occasion
demands. Standardized varieties mean
larger lots Of one kind which offers
more inducements to buyers and a
higher price and a more ready market.

THE JUDAS IN UNIONISM

The work of the "spy" in or
ganized labor is becoming appar-
ent. AS a general rule he is of
the most blatant of "exhorters"
and endeavors to have the union
demand a larger scale than any
other member of the local. He is
always on the job. Nine times out
of ten he is known by his fellow
workers and would be given his
quietus if it was not for one thing
lack of positive proof The mem
bers deem it the most disgraceful
charge that can be brought gainst
a brother member and are loath to
openly make it. It's one thing to
prove it, and it's an awful charge
to bring against an innocent man.
The majority of members give the
suspect the benefit of the doubt;
they don't want to believe it them
selves. Circumstances, however,
tend to prove that "spys" are in
union camps. At least, matters
that transpire in a local meeting
where only members with paid up
cards are admitted, find their way
to the employers the day following
