PICNIC INSPIRATION


WHEN the housewife of Kenne-
W wick gets all tired out fussing
in the kitchen, it seems to have a
wonderful tonic effect on them to
get up a picnic, HE themselves to
some pretty spot, provided with
full basket of eatables. The men
are not always enthusiastic, but
if they realize how much good the
change does their wives, they con-
sent without too much objection.
Out under the trees or beside
a sparkling brook, food that would
seem cold and stale at home, seems
somehow to have a nectarean quail
ity. Where the folks would kick at
home if they did not have hot
dinner, yet out on the picnic the
cold boiled eggs and bread and jam
go down as food fit for the gods.
All of which goes to show that
after human nature has. trundled
along in the old rut awhile, al
most anything that looks different
looks good. However, natural beau
ty stirs feeling of romance,
which covers even prosaic food
with its haze of illusion.

A PPARENTLY there will be no
: : difficulty in securing the small
strip of right Of way for the paw
ing into town. Citizens generally
are of the opinion that the mere
cost of the right of way is cheap
price to pay for the Improvement.
And the people most interested are
those living in the immediate
neighborhood of the road, which of
course is quite natural. Remains
only delay to hear definite pro-
position from the state. The people
here are rarin' to go.

WHY AMERICA LEADS
THE WORLD

HERE is something for those
- who wonder why America pro-
crosses to ponder.
The people of the United States
are quick to take up the new and
useful; the time or labor saving
device quickly comes into general
use and, in most cases, assumes
price mark that all can afford.
Of practically every new device,
be it in communication, transpor-
tation, business or the home, the
American people have more than
all the rest of the world. With
America owning more than 80 per
cent Of the worlds automobiles,
it then is no wonder that America
leads the world in wealth and pro-
gress. The wonder is that the rest
Of the world sits by while we DO.

CITIzENs of eastern Washing

- ton, where the dust nuisance
is at its worst, are anxious to see
the results of the new road oiling
plan. Apparently there is no draw
back to it. The roads that have
been properly built are standing
up fine even under unusual traffic
conditions, the initial cost is I'M
believably cheap, maintenance is
greatly reduced and the roads are
dustless, skidproof and smooth -
wonderfully easy to ride and drive
upon. Should the results of Com
missioner Briggs experiments
work out as good as is anticipated,
it should not take the city Of Ken
newick long to fix up it's streets.
We look for a great improvement
In the next year or two.

pect to have the honor Of entertaining
each and every one of the swimmers
who are training along this French
coastal strip for an attempt to swim
the dreaded English Channel.
At one time or another every trans
channel aspirant visits Cape Gris-Nez.
Yesterday brought over M. Perrault
the French-Panaman, who Is train
ing at Dunkirk for his effort. With
him came Nine. Jane Sion, who has
tried channeling unsuccessfuliy three
times, but who is still game despite
these failures. She, too. Is training
at DunRirl.
Nine. Sion Is q handsome woman,
very big and blond, who wears her
naturally curly hair under a net. A
damp day makes her head very at
tractive, the curls taking on little
ringlets all over her crown of glory,
Boyish Cut Becoming.

Some people mere. seeing me emerge

Off my ears, have suggested that my
hair should be cut in the latest Pari-
sian fashion that 10 extremely boytsh.
This, they say, would be becoming to
me, but I think I would appear tar

naturally want to keep my hair over
my ears, and remain as feminine as
possible. s>tyE.ssf 5 80
There is sadness in our gang over
the fact all the American coffee we
brought along, from home has been
used up. We used the last for break
fast yesterday. This situation does
not particularly affect me, as sell

do and they heartily dislike the thick
black stuff the French people call
coffee. e.
Percolator Is In Demand.
We have, our own percoiator. which
we brought from home. Such a con.
trivance Is unknown here and several
Americans whom we have met since
our arrival begged4us to let them have
the percolator when we go home.

on business and shall go to Boulogne
today to Jmeet her, as win most of
the rest Of our party. She planned
to try to get some American coffee
IN Paris and IL she fails, pop and sis
ter Margaret, among others, will be
vastly disappointed.
i To make upSto some extent for the
coffee famine, I'm planning to pre-.
pare some mushrooms for breakfast.
They should prove a, welcome change
from the eggs Of which we all are
very tired.
Most French people get only a bread
and coffee breakfast, but when we
came here they told US we could have
an English breakfast for Ave francs
extra. An English breakfast, accord
ing to the French idea, consists of
eggs. Now we all blush at the sight
of chicken, because they must be
working overtime to supply US here.

EIGHT HUNDRED ACRES
IN FRUIT AND BERRIES

The Randolph County Fruit and
Berry Association has completed its
organization, having been encouraged
by a large number of citizens and farm
ers who have Joined the Association
and who have agreed to plant grapes,
berries and other fruits this next fall.
1t has been decided by the Associa-
ton to plant 800 acres of grapes, 200
acres of black berries and 100 acres of
strawberries within as short time as
possible and it is urged by the Asso-
citation that all intereted farmers call
upon the Secretary and designate the
acreage they wish to plant and to
place their order for whatever number
of plants each individual will want.
The Association will want to place
their order in large quantities to Sc
cure a low price and will therefore
have to have each farmers order in
time.
Unless we can plant 100 or more
acres of grapes and the same amount
of berries this fall, the Association
feels that it will not be able to secure
good market and low shipping rates,
and assure the members of the Asso-
citation a profit on their crops.
The Association invites all farmers
in Randolph county to come in at once
and secure any information they may
need and specify their acreage in order
that the Association may ascertain the
amount of plants to order. The officers
are F. ]. Baltz, Tom Carter and f. A.
Kerr, who will be glad to give any in
formation that may be desired.
A great deal concerning these crops
can be learned at Fayetteville during
Farmers Week, August 3 to g. All
farmers interested in these crops are
to mike arrangements to attend.
