In order to give full value, the
machine shed should be properly de-
signed and built. A good roof Is i'm
portant and 1t is desirable to have
the shed built tight and equipped with
close fitting doors to keep out sun
light, rain, snow and dust and to
prevent chickens from getting into
the building. The design of the shed
should be such that machinery can
be put in and taken out easily. In
addition, the shed should be so located
that no time and labor will be lost
in getting back and forth between
it and the fields. A third point Is
that the shed must be used by the
farmer, since no money will be saved
If the implements are left standing
outside the building.
Aside from saving machinery, a good
implement shed adds to the efficiency
of the farm by providing favorable
working conditions so that repairs,
overhauling and adjustments can be
made in the winter when both time
and cheap labor are available to do
such work. Indirect advantages which
add to the value Of shedding machih-
cry are the saving in time required
to timber up the machines and the
fewer delays at critical times from
the breaking of part rusted or weak
ened by exposure.

Lime Mortar Stands
Test After Years

Cement was not used in this coun-
try in the earliest work as it had not
been at that time rediscovered, but the
lime mortar used in buildings that
stand today was of a wonderful qaul-
ity. Great care was used in procuring
proper sand and the lime was slaked
and allowed to cure in pits for months
or even a year before it was to be
used. Evidently, too, the relative pro-
portion of lime to sand was exactly
right and the result was that the walls
were more waterproof at the joints
than are those of today and the NOR
tar still retains Its tenacity.

yourself When you have learned all
about yourself, then dress accordingly
in a manner to accentuate your own
pertinent features. OF course, study
the mode, too. But do not adapt your
self to the mode; adapt the mode to
yourself.
In order to achieve distinction we
must drop patterns. Patterns are
easy, but they are not expressive.
To be well dressed a woman must
not look like other well-dressed WON
en-; she must look like herself. To
look like herself she must know her.

days are for the most part unfulfilled.
think it would be wise to study these
paintings after we have discovered
which is our particular type, and an
alyze the style Of the dress.
Surely we can find our inspiration
in the art galleries. Ladies today
think too much of newness, but all
things, even fashions in clothes, travel
in cycles We must not neglect styles
which have stood the test of genera
lions merely because they are old. We
do not cease to admire beautiful music
or paintings or literature merely be-
cause they are old. Beauty does not
age, nor do its standards alter. But
in the question of the arts new tech
niques are discovered and new treat
ments of old themes. 1t is thus with
the artists of clothing. Before they
can design new styles they must study
the old ones and make an analysis of
the factors which have lasted and
proved successful for long periods.
l think then, that first a woman
must study herself. She must patron
ize the art galleries and find herself
in Greek sculpture and old paintings.
Then when she salects her clothes she
will bear in mind what types she has
worn through the ages and will make
her present choice accordingly. In
this way / think we may develop
greater distinction in our dress and
regain that individuality which / fear
we have almost lost. Tradition in
this instance is safe light to guide
us.

Dear Aunt Hattie: Our lit e,
daughter will soon be ten years old,
and | am planning a birthday party
for her.. Would you kindly suggest
some games the children could play?
Our house is small, so there will be
only ten little girls around our daugh-
ter's age. THANK you for your kind
ness. n
You might have the children play
the gypsy game. Choose one child
for gypsy, another for mother, leav-
ing the others for children. The
gypsy stays in hiding while the moth
err talks to her children and points
to each one and as she points she
says: .--------
"T charge my children, every one,
To keen good house while l am gone.
Especially you, my daughter, Sue,
Or l will whip you black and blue"
Then the mother goes off and
blinds her eyes. The gypsv comes
cautiously in, takes child away
and hides her. She keeps this up
until eli of Stke children have dis
anueared and then hides herself.
When the mother comes home and
finds every child gone she starts out
on a hunt. As soon as she finds
them ali end brinps them home, all
start out hunting for the gynsy and
try TO catch her. The child who does
catch her is the mother and the for
mer mother is the gypsy next time.
To play "Here I Bake" one child
stands in the center of a ring form
ed bv the others who Join hands and
try to prevent her from getting out
of the circle. She then goes around
inside of the ring touching all Che
hands. At the first two she says,
"Here I bake" At the second two,
"Here | brew" At the third, "Here
bake my wedding cake" At the
next, "And here ] mean to break
through" With these words she
makes a dash, trying to break thru.
If she succeeds, the child takes her
place. IF not, she must keep on
trying until she does.
For a three pencil game, place
three pencils on the floor in a row,
One of the girls says that she will
leave the room and when she comes
back can tell which pencil has beer
touched. In order to do this she
must have an assistant who is in the
secret to give the necessary tip. The
assistant sits with her hands folded

BEAUTIFUL EYES

Beautiful eyes lose half their
beauty when set in shriveled frame.
Woman who once held the admira-
tion of beholders for their dark mag
netic glances, know what tits to miss
this homage. Younger women with
fresher eyes advance to the spotlight
and carry away the laurels that once
was theirs. Now what is the trou-
BILE? Only this:
The frame has become worn and
wrinkled. Lack of sleep, lack of
proper care and then finally, age,
that insidious monster, has crept into
the stronghold of the tissues and de-
spoiled their setting.
Eyes that have beheld the passing
of many eyes, hold history-mgs-
terry! They are the fascinating eyes,
all things being equal-that is, the
framing.
Now this il the remedy. Skin
food, astringents, rest and sleep, the
eyes regularly, repeatedly and care
fully, will bring back the fair, clear
and smoothe framework of by-gone
years - Try it.
First: do not pub the skin, but
pat in gently and literally, a good
skin food night and morning. Over
this lay a warm. steaming towel. At
ter this has remained on few min
utes pat in a good astringent weak
ened white vinegar, or best of all
a small lump of ice covered with thI
milk. OF you have no skin food ham
DIV, the top of the sweet milk will
do for skin food.) When you are
resting or reading, keep skin food
dabbed thick around the eyes, always
following with an astringent when
you remove it. Keep up this treat
ment and your eyes will regain the
beauty of youth and yet hold the
added magic that is the gift of years.

Birthday Party for 10 Year Old

If the pencil at the side is touched,
one thumb will be crossed over to
that side. IL the middle pencil is
the one, both thumbs are inconspic-
uously placed straight out together.
If the pencil on the other side, then
the other thumb is crossed over in
that direction. The signaling may be
done with the feet instead of the
thumbs. When the player comes into
the room she only need glance cas-
ually at her confederate to observe
the signals and announce which was
the pencil touched.
For a popcorn race, divide the
girls into two groups. At the end
of the room place two bowls, each
containing exactly the same number
of kernels Of popped corn. Beside
each bowl have a needle threaded
with a long, strong linen thread,
or string-the other end of which
is fastened securely in some way at
the end of the room. Each girl is to
run the needle and thread through a
kernel of corn and hurry with it as
fast as she can to the end of the
thread. The side whose bowl is emp
tied first is the winner.

Mrs. M. b. c.: You cannot pre-

The gray may be concealed by the
use of dyes, but unless the dye is
applied by an experienced hand you
do not deceive any one. The dye

months.

Helpful Hints Toward Beauty

Mrs. J. S., Pork is the least de-
sirable of all meat, as it is difficult
to digest. 1t must be thoroughly
cooked. Beef is valuable for its iron
content as we'll as protein. Lamb is
tasty and easily digested. Fowl and
fish are desirable.
Mrs. H.; The only way to restore
color to gray hair is by means of
dyeing it. Go to reliable hair store
and have a henna the shade of your
hair applied. Don't attempt to do It
yourself. You won't be satisfied
with homemade" job, as it is
practically impossible to apply it ev-
emily. Let an experienced hand do
the work if you feel that you must
have it dyed.

northwest, taken last June, produced rather surprising results. For ex- ample, In South Dakota 13.121 voted for Governor Lowden and only 66 for Coolidge; also 4,s41 for Hoover. Both Illinois and Iowa gave twice as many votes for Lowden as for Cool idge. In North Dakota there were D. 2S4 votes for Lowden and only 5S for Coolidge. In Oklahoma there were 5,502 votes for Lowden and only 291 for Coolidge. in Nebraska, $40 for Lowden and 69 for Coolidge. In Mon tana Coolidge had half the votes. the remainder being scattered. In Kansas Coolidge had one-third the votes, while Lowden. Hoover, Dawes and Borah had two-thirds.
 The President in the future in all probability cannot do as we'll in any particular as he has done in the past. If he chooses to step aside 1t may be best for the Republican party to accept the invitation and look elsewhere.

Observations On He Weather

Washington. Aug. 3.-ForecaM for Southern New England: Fair and continued cool tonight. Thurs- day partly cloudy, probably followed by rain in the afternoon or night. Moderate westerly winds shifting to southerly Thursday.
 Forecast for Eastern New York: Partly Cloudy tonight ahd Thursday: probably showers in south portion; slightly warmer tonight in west central portion: moderate northeast and east winds.
 Conditions: Generally fair wealth. CT prevails this morning in the northern states from the north Att lantic coast to the Pacific coast. under the influence of a ridge of high pressure that extends from New England westward to tho northern Rocky mountain districts. This high pressure area is producing considerably cooler weather as far south as a line running from Vir- ginia westward to Utah.
 A relatively low pressure trough extends west soVthwestward to Texas and New Maxico and showery conditions prevail from West Vir- ginia and southern Ohio westward to Kansas.
 Conditions favor for this vicinity fair weather followed by increasing cloudiness and slowly rising tenn perature.

THE COOLIDGE CHOICE NOT TO RUN AGAIN

President Coolidge has uttered the fateful words. but whether they mean all that is implied is still in abeyance. It was the manner in which he clothed his statement at Rapid City that leaves the impress sion he can be induced to be nomin- ated again, although he chooses not to be & candidate. If anything, it means he prefers not to run again, but If the next Republican national convention insists upon it-well, it was former Governor Lowden of Illinois who said the other day that a man never runs away from the presidency.
 The Coolidge statement may clear up the Presidents preference, but 1t does not reflect the attitude of those Republicans who have been insisting Coolidge should be nominated again in 1928. Suppose the politicians re- fuse to accept the statement as final. and suppose the convention again bids him step forward? The Presi- dent can still maintain he chooses to retire to private life but is willing to defer to the wishes Of the party. In short, the Coolidge statement is one that straddles. Had he said 1T will not be candidate' the statement would have been definite. By mere- ly choosing not to be a candidate he gives the impression he might consent to being drafted If the party does not nominate someone else.
 Taking the statement at it's face value. however one is justified in concluding there is sense in his choice to retire. Another four years
