AND CARE
OF SHOES is SUBJECT
OF NEW BULLETIN

Leather shoes have received much
attention from scientists in the United
States Department of Agriculture who
are engaged in a study of leather and
its uses. In studying the suitability
of different feathers for footwear con-
siderable has been learned about the
selection of shoes and the care of
footwear so that it will give the max
imum service. With this information
the department has issued Farmers
Bulletin No. 1523-F, Leather Shoes:
Selection and Care.
An interesting discussion is pre-
sented on the different types of shoes
and their construction. The princi-
pal types of sewed shoes are known
as "Welted", Mckay, or turned,
according to the method of attaching
the soles to the uppers. Those that
are put together by wood or metal
fasteners are called "pegged', mailed"
or "standard-screw" shoes.
The service to which a shoe is to be
footwear. Particular attention is
given in this bulletin to a description
of the different kinds of feathers
used in shoes and their relative value.
To be comfortable, safe, durable,
and attractive, shoes for everyday
wear must conform to the natural
shape of the feet and protect them
says the department. They must also
provide a firm foundation for the
body. The well-known Army shoe
meets these requirements. Proceeding
on the theory that an army is "only
as good as it's feet" the War Depart
ment, after lengthy study, worked
out the type of shoe worn by the
United States soldiers and Army nur-
ses. Civilian shoes made along the
same lines, but of lighter-weight ma
terial and more pleasing appearance
can now be obtained in most parts of
the United States. They are we'll
adapted for everyday wear in city and
country alike.
The proper care of footwear, coupled
with its intelligent selection, means
reduction of from one-quarter to
one-half in shoe bills and at the same
time keeps the feet neatly and ser
viceably shod. Good care includes
prompt repair. 1t is never true econ
omy to wear down-at-the-heel, dilapi-
dated shoes. Such shoes neither pro-
tect the feet nor properly support the
body. What might be saved in leath-
er may be paid eventually to foot
specialists and doctors. If the neces-
sary bit of repairing is put off the
shoe may be so badly worn that it no
longer is worth mending and from So
to SIS will be lost by neglect.
Further suggestions as to the care
of shoes include attention to cleaning
and renovating, drying, oiling and
greasing, and waterproofing. Several
formulas for waterproofing are given
in the bulletin.
A copy Of the bulletin may be OBJ
tanned, as long as the supply lasts, by

ment of Agriculture, Washington, D. C.

CHAPTER IL

Ned woke next morning to the
sound of life and activity below stairs.
His first thought was that he was
back in camp again. Then he remem-
bered. His watch told him it was
seven. Thinking he would surprise
Claude Dabbs by his early rising, Ned
dressed leisurely and went downstairs.
Aunt Lyddy greeted him without
enthusiasm, informing him dryly that
Claude had been up for two hours.
He was at that moment superintend-
ing the unloading of the new Irish
potatoes. -.
The food was delicious, and Aunt
Lyddy waited and watched over him
at the breakfast table, anticipating
his wants as though he were small
boy; yet Ned felt that he was delay
ing the important affairs of the house
hold.
Still with the air that he was COM
pany, Aunt Lyddy informed him:
"Claude said to take the car and sail
around, or do anything you've mind
to do"
Thanks, Aunt Lyddy, but I think
I'll help Uncle Claude in the shop"
Aunt Lyddy's eyes showed surprise
and approval.
Claude Dabbs could do with little
help" she announced. There's q many
leans on Claude, and but few as offers
shoulder themselves occasionally.
Not that Claude needs anything to
lean on, but the fact that a shoulder
is handy kinda keeps man from feel
ing lonely. I'm going to say this-you
don't look as though you needed any
special help to get along in this world.
Maybe you do. amt inquiring. All
I'm saying is that never, since I've
known him, has Claude Dabbs shown
such admiration for any living soul as
I've seen him show for you. Well"
her apron waved, expressing what she
was unable to put into words, 'let me
see you worthy, young man. Let me
see you worthy

MdrqaYet Turnbul1.

Aunt Lyddy returned, announcing
that the room was ready and advised
Ned to turn in early" He followed
her along the hall. The room next
mine" was a big, airy room, overlook
ing the garden at the side Of the
house and far removed from the noises
of the shop. Its deep-seated windows
indicated the age of the house. The
furniture was really old, consequently
good and unobtrusive, and the wall
paper was a deep cream, with little
border Of yellow roses.
The old four-poster looked inviting.
Aunt Lyddy padded heavily away and
Ned leaned out Of the window, con-
sciOus of the soft, sweet, damp smell
of a springtime garden.
AS he left the window he was con-
scious of voices near him. But the
room was empty, so was the hall out
side his door. After a moment he
concluded that the voices came
through an old-fashioned hot-air reg
lister in the floor of his room. He
heard Aunt Lyddy say:
Claude Dabbs, I'm a dear lover of
truth, and the truth I'll have out Of
you if it takes me all night. My usual
hour for bed is s 80 sharp, and here
it is nearly ten, and gifts Of amethyst
brooches, though pretty and tastefully
chosen 1 must say, won't blind me to
my duty. I've ever been kinda
garden for your home since your
Nom died. Who's this young MANI"
"Why, he's young fellow l met up
with in New York. He's been In the
army-just discharged. The very
name of Peace Valley sort of hypno-
-tized him. He can't settle down to
anything yet, so 1 asked him down
here to look around and"
Suffering Saints p Aunt Lyddy's
voice rose to sort of wall, then sank
again. "Where'd you meet him?'
"Well-I was walking on Riverside
drive and"
"You picked him up! A bum! A
park bumv' Aunt Lyddy exclaimed
with conviction. You probably treat
ed him to that there awful swell suit
Ned, his hand on the register wait
ing a fitting opportunity to close 1t
unheard, noted that she refused to
listen to Claude's protests.
81 know you," Aunt Lyddy an
nounced, land nothing you do ought
to surprise me now, but / declare by
Peter and Paul it does at times. Well,
don't say no more, nor fix up any
pleasant kinda half-lies for me. You
don't know nothing about him, and
there were some awful bad characters
got in the army. We're lucky if our
threats amt slit by morning. I'll lock
my room and bolt it, tonight"
Feeling that he had heard enough,
Ned closed the register quietly, sure
that the sound would be unnOticed as
Aunt Lyddy trod heavily out into the
hall.

come. "They CALI it community, and
they call themselves workers, think
ers, writer's, artists, leaders of the
new revolt, and a lot of other names,
Everything except plain American
citizen lives there. But there's no
harm in any Of 'em. They are just
people with money enough not to
work, and yet burning desire to do
something for living that won't ham
per 'em none"
He laughed. Its funny, Ned, how
nowadays people feel they have to
have some excuse besides their money
for living. Money was enough when
I was young. 1t isn't any more"
He chuckled at the thought. "The
way l reason it, is that people who
are just a little off on some one thing
become so much Of a, darned nuisance
that ordinary people either laugh at
them or try to run away. This makes
them band together so as to get an
audience somehow. At Glover Hol-
low they can have meetings and argue
as often as they like: If one man does
all the talking one day, he knows he's
got to listen the next.
Take this house we're coming to
now. It's called cottage, but ii
takes five servants to run it. Profess
sor O'Toole, who lives there, drinks
something a good deal stronger than
tea. He told me that the purity of
his Gaelic depended on diet Of new
potatoes, cream and whisky. Don't
know where he gets his stuff, nor how
he gets 1t past the revenue officers,
but his cellars full. He's against
everything on Gods green earth ex-
cept the Irish republic. / can't help
hoping Ireland never is republic, for
If it is, Professor O'Toole will be
terribly disappointed man. He'll have
nothing left to live for, or talk about.
Course he don't work for his lfv-
ing. His English uncle left him SO
much 'unearned increment that he
just has to use some of it up on De
Valera and that bunch"
He looked at Ned, and added: Jaw
full pleasant fellow, though. You'd
like to talk to him."

SCHOOLS IN HEALTH
POSTER CONTEST

Every school in the state wills re-
ceive an invitation from the Mime
sofa Public Health Association to take
part in its second annual health post
err contest, feature of the CHRIST
MAS SEAL educational work for
1927-192S.
Announcements, listing the 13O
awards, donated to the State Associa-
ton by interested firms, have already
been received by local school heads
Two valuable oil paintings, a play
ground slide and swing, and school
scale, top the list of awards, all OF
which are for school use, and which
were donated by interested persons,
to the Association.
To insure fair competition, schools
have been divided into three groups
each with its own set of awards, DR.
e. A. Meyerding, executive secretary
Of the state association explains. Ru-
raj schools, which form Group 1, will
have preliminary county contests and
the six best from each county will be
entered in the state competition.
The graded school contest is linn
tied to the fifth through the eighth
grades, and consists of two groups
schools having full time art direct
or, and those without regular art
supervision.
Success of the first statewide health
poster contest last year with it's 1,00C
entries and the stimulus given health
instruction throughout the state, has
resulted in repetition of the project
according to DR.. Meyerding. The
present contest will close April End

SILO FILLED BY 5-HORSE
POWER ELECTRIC MOTOR

That a sharp reduction can be made
in the cost of operating electric mo-
tors in filling silos has just been
demonstrated on the farm of w. A.
Cady on the experimental power line
out of Red Wing. Once it was thought
that 20-horse power motor was re-
quired for this purpose. Then further
experiments demonstrated that the
work could be done with Is and even
10-horse power.
But now on the Cady farm big
silo has been filled with power fur
nished by a 5-horse power motor at
cost of only about two cents a ton
for the electricity used in cutting and
elevating the corn. Five to seven and
half tons of corn, depending on it's
quality, were put in the silo in an
average hours run. This means low
cost of filling.
Three things made it possible to
fill the Cady silo with 5-horse power
motor" says E. A. Stewart, University
of Minnesota professor, who is in
charge of the Red Wing line. "They
were the low speed of the cutter,
sharp knives, and proper voltage on
the motor. Only two knives should be
used on the cutter and they should be
sharpened every half day. Preference
is to be given to the 16-inch cutter.
the large size, but it makes no par
ticular difference whether the large
size or small size is used. The large
cutter was driven at the rate of BAT
revolutions minute. Proper voltage
control can be obtained by placing the
transformer in the farm yard and not
by the side of the road as has been
the practice.
81 have advices that results on the
Cady> farm have been duplicated this
fall on several other Minnesota farms
where electric power is available
More than 5000 Minnesota farmers
who have electricity from power COM
[pany lines are in position to make
substantial savings"

Ham Smothered i'm Sweet Potatoes.

Casserole dishes are always popu-
lar with the homemaker. They are
easy to prepare and usually afford an
attractive way to serve a number of
foods from one dish. The Bureau of
Home Economics, U. S. Department
of Agriculture, suggests this method
of combining sweet potatoes and ham
in such dish: 1, slice of smoked
ham cut into slices for serving; cups
raw sliced sweet potatoes; 1 table
spoon butter or ham fryings; table,
spoons sugar; cup hot water Broil
the pieces of ham lightly on both
sides and arrange them to cover the
bottom of the baking dish. Spread
the sliced sweet potatoes over them;
sprinkle with sugar. Add the hot
water and extra fat. Cover the dish
and bake slowly until the ham is
tender, basting the potatoes occasion
ally with the gravy. Brown the top
well.

There is no foundation for the wide
spread notion that fish is particularly
valuable as brain food. The idea
seems to have originally gained head
way because fish was supposed to con-
tain relatively large proportions OF
phosphorus. There is, however, no ex.
perimental evidence to warrant the
assumption that phosphorus is any
more essential to the brain than nj.
trogen, potassium or any other ele-
ment that occurs in its tissues. Var
ious foods furnish higher proportion
Of phosphorus than fish.
