Motor as a Road Market
Is Big Boon to Farmers

The automobile is evolving another
boon for the farmer - the roadside
market. It's potentialities are so
great that the farmers of New Jersey
are creating a standard farmers road
side association, with the support Of
the state department of agriculture.
Last year the state had 132 of these
roadside stands, and the income from
them was estimated at 100000,
The system already has proved that
1t has great possibilities and gives
promise of solving the vexed problem
of bringing the products of the farm
er directly to the table of the city
consumer, fresh and free of the mid
clemens toll.
The system is also winning distinct
success in Maryland, where last year
100 roadside stands did a business of
S257. 900, and other states are rapidly
taking it up.
The New Jersey association will be
under the regulation of the bureau
of markets of the state department of
agriculture and will attempt to form
a direct contact between the farmer
and the consumer.

MEAN MEASLES AGAIN

No one seemed to be noticing him.
So &e decided he had a good chance.
1t was when no one was noticing
him that he hurried about to do his
very, very naughty work.
You've heard of him before. His
name is Mean Old Measles.
Now it was during the Christmas
season when every one was busy that
he thought he would just do good,
old mean trick.
That was the way he spoke Of it.
Any one else would have said bad
old mean trick.
But not Mean Old Measles. He
speaks and thinks and acts differently
from others.
His friends are all mean, too One
Of his friends is Mumps, another is
Susy Sneeze and another Carrie
Cough; the Tonsil Twins are his
friends when they cause trouble, and
a number Of others.
or course, he is not even friendly
enough to talk and play and have a
good time with his friends They
simply are hj5 friends because they
are mean, too. Not because they go
around together or see each other.
SO Mean Old Measles decided he
would pick out very nice small boy
this time and pay him a holiday
visit.
"I'1l go and see him at Christmas
time" he said, and his mean old face
looked meaner than ever as he spoke
to himself.
There is Edward Junior and I've
never called on him before. l think
/ will go and see him and give him a
Christmas present of the Measles"
Now you can see for yourself what
mean old creature he is when that
is his idea of a Christmas present.
So he went and called on Edward
Junior and he took the Measles in his

tune? Yes! That's it A bag of
chiffon festooned with the same kind
of flowers which trim the dress And
a lovely idea it is. Who would attend
the dance next week or this without
a cunning bag fower-trimmed to
match ones dress?
Two-toned chiffon dresses are ever
so attractive and so up-to-date. This
method of combining a light chiffon
with a dark tone of the same color is
inspirational to the designer, who is
thus enabled to work out many clever
stylings. One very fetching dance
frock following out the two-tone idea
uses a delicate coral tone for the
waist portion with a skirt of deeper
toned red. A three-tone effect appears
in the border and the girdle Of frock
in green.
Another way of achieving a two-tone
effect Is to wear shoulder bouquet
whose flowers are of deeper tone than
the dress. Often the chiffon frock is

Traffic Chief Annoyed
by Many Sloppy Drivers

All Milwaukee traffic policemen
have. been instructed to be on the
alert for what the traffic bureau de-
scribes as sloppy drivers" A sloppy
driver according to the bureau, Is
the type of driver who cares nothing
at all for the other fellows rights.
He will make left turns from the
right side of his half of the street
and right turns from the left side.
without a thought for the motorist
who happens to be following him. III
the man behind is speeding up to
pass at the time the sloppy driver"
is making left turn in his celebrated
fashion, an accident involving injury
and possibly death is almost sure to
occur
Another manner in which this type
of driver makes life miserable for his
fellow men is by hogging the road,
says the bureau.
II have noticed many drivers
straddle the right rail of the car
tracks," said Capt. Albert J. Murray.
'This ties up both lanes Of traffic"
Everything possible has been tried
in an effort to educate a motorist in
better driving, and Captain Murray
states that it is time to take action
which will force them to drive accord
ing to the rules of the road.

Bushings for Bearings

On most makes of cars the BUSH
ings for bearings are made of anti
friction metal. The advantage of
using soft metals is that if the bear
ing became too tight no injury would
be done to the shaft around which
the bushing was fitted, the bushing
taking all the wear. Another reason
is that if there were several high
spots on the bushing surface, causing
increasing beat at those points, the
bushing would not be so apt to seize,
but would yield, producing a more
even surface.

smartest modes rely on tailored sim
plicity for chic rather than upon fur
adornment. Quality-kind material and
patrician styling are the marks Of dis
tinction which characterize the non
furred coat. The all-cloth-sans-fur
wrap, often the preference of the ele-
CANT Parisienne for informal daytime
wear, usually boasts a cape which tops
straight, narrow, mannishly tailored
coat portion, just like this picture
shows The material is likely to be
finest navy blue twill, although dark
green suede cloth is also finding favor
in recent models, while there are
some few beige and gray cape types
which are without fur.

He Went and Called on Edward Junior.
bag Che had an extra supply always
and scattered them around Edward
Junior.
Edward Junior felt poorly. He did
not quite know why. He did not quite
know the reason for it. But soon he
was told that he had the Measles.
And 1t was so nice in his lovely
home in the country that to have
measles seemed so mean, so very
mean.
He wondered if Santa Claus was
afraid of Measles. Some people were
because they got Measles when they
went near any one who had them
or went into house where there was
Measles.
But Edward Junior had one of the
incest Christmases in his life and he
had had several of them.
For Santa Claus had been more
generous than ever. Santa Claus had
come the night before Christmas and
he had heard about Edward Juniors
Measles.
We'll, Santa Claus never has to
stay away on account of any sick
ness, for he had every single childs
sickness years and years and years
and years ago when he was a child,
and now he can't have any of them.
but he knows what they're like
and he's just going to see that Ed
ward Junior has the best Christmas
in his life. And also his little brother
Robert,
That was what Santa said.
Santa could not stop the Measles
from visiting the two boys. Little
Robert celebrated New Years Eve by
getting them He was not, so his faith
er said, going to be outdone in any
thing by his big brotherl
But even though Mean Old Measles
came to the house where Edward
Junior and Robert lived with their
mother and daddy, Christmas came,
more gaily and gloriously and gener-
ously than ever.
Santa Claus could not be showed out
of the way by Mean Old Measles or
any one.
Never. Never. Never!

cannot be dropped or carried away.
A brass clip Is cut to the form shown

holds the thermometer to the radia-

While it is possible to cut the chain

thief, finding the cap secured, will
more than likely seek easier booty

Locking Radiator Caps

Radiator caps of automobiles that

attract the attention of the "doormat"
type of thief. A simple protective
measure consists in attaching short
length Of light brass chain to the in
strument and the radiator-filler tube,

HINTS FOR HOT HOGS

A hog will find shade in hot
weather if he can, but if the shady
place he finds is also hot he does
not seem to realize it, and will stay
there and die from Qverheating.
For this reason it is best to close any
buildings that are not cool, forcing
the hogs, to get shade elsewhere,
The natural shade from trees is
preferable to any other. Ii trees
are available, good artificial shade
should be made by setting posts and
building cheap framework about 4
feet from the ground, covering it
with brush, hay, or straw. A shade
of this kind is better than one made
of boards or sheet iron. II dust
accumulates the covering should be
made wet by watering with a hose
or bucket. This will serve the
double purpose of cooling the air
and settling the dust.

HOG CHOLERA ON ELEVEN
PREMISES IN JUNE

Hog cholera was reported to exist
on eleven premises in Maryland
during the month of June, against
eeven year ago and seven year
average of seventeen for the same
period. Six of these were classed as
backyard outbreaks. while the
others occurred on farms where
hogs are bred and raised. Ten were
classed as primary and one as
secondary.
Kent county had six outbreaks,
Baltimore, Montgomery, Prin e
Georges, Queen Anne's and Wash
ington each had one outbreak.
OF the primary outbreaks. five
were apparently due to infected pork
in garbage, table scraps, etc. Three
were due to new stock, and in two
cases, one of which was of doubt
full diagnosis, no history could be
obtained on which to base the
source of infection. The one Sec
ondary- outbreak was due to per-
hitting the sick hogs to run at
large.
