been clearly demonstrated that there
is no prospect of selling all of the
ships of the American fleet to private
owners, and for these reasons he
thinks the time has arrived when this

Will Urge Enactment.
Senator Fletcher announced that he
will urge the enactment of legislation
looking to the permanent operation
and maintenance of the fleet by the
Government. He indicated that the
so-calIed Jones bill, which was ia
vorably reported by the commerce
committee last Winter, with few
minor changes will answer the pur-
pose. He said he realized that the
President frowns upon the proposal
to have the Government spend more
money on a merchant fleet and that
he is favorably inclined to dispoSing of
the ships as soon as possible. but this
will not deter him in his determination
to keep the American fleet in success
full operation.
SeLator Fletcher said he did not
discuss the subject with the President
today but that he expected TO do so
later on. He is inclined to think that.
when the President is fully advised of
the true situation and of the senti-
ment prevailing about the country he
may change his views. He agrees with
the President that it would be pref

Money Back II Emerald Oil Doesn't Do
Away With All Soreness, Swelling and
Distress in "a Hours. One Bottle
Proves IL.

No sensible person will continue to
suffer from those intense agcnizing
throbbing foot pains when every well
stocked drug store has Moone's
Emerald Oil and sells it with an alb
solute guarantee of satisfaction or
money back
Your feet may be so swollen and
inflamed that you think you can't go
another step. Your shoes may feel
as if they are cutting right into the
flesh. You feel sick all over with the
pain and torture and pray for quick
relief. What's to be done?
Two or three applications of
Moone's Emerald Oil and in fifteen
minutes the pain and soreness dis
appears. A few more applications at
regular intervals and the swelling
reduces.
And best of all any offensive odor
is gone for good-It's a wonderful
formula-this combination of essen
tial oils with camphor and other
antiseptics so marvellous that thou
sands of bottles are sold annually for
reducing varicose or swollen veins.

HARRY McCURDY
FIND OF THE YEAR
Manager Ray Schalk Loud
in Praise of Youngster.

American league fans, noting the
marked success Harry McCurdy is hav-
ing behind the bat and with the stick
for the Chicago White Sox, have been
wondering how Branch Hickey ever
let this sterling backstop get away
from him. 1t was the former man.
ager of the Cardinals who found Nc
Curdy at college, got him to sign a
contract and tried him out at st. Louis
under the most unfavorable circum-
stances.
Hickey at that time was sorely
pressed for backstops, not having
very much luck with his maskmen. At
ter seeing McCurdy in action at col
lege, he predicted brilliant future
for him. McCurdy got his chance to
get into the big league with a hop
early, but he looked dismal chasing
foul flies in back of the plate in true
collegiate fashion while the fans
roared and razzed. Hickey took him
out of the game and shipped him to
Houston for seasoning, realizing that
the experience the young player had
at the hands of the st. Louis fans
would make him nervous if he ever
tried to get in the game there again.
McCurdy prospered in Texas and be-
came minor league star, but the
Cards took an option on Wick instead
of McCurdy, as Hickey told friends he
would not have McCurdy humiliated
again by taking him back to st. Louis.
How McCurdy learned to hit and
how the Sox tried their best to send
him back to Texas after Eddie Collins
decided he'd make a better first base
man than a backstOp because he had
Schalk, GrabowSki and Grouse as
maskmen, are interesting phases of
McCurdy's first few years in baseball.
He even went home because he could
not tell whether he was a member of
the Yankees or Sox until Judge Lam
dis shipped him back to Chicago. Colo
mel Rupert had to pay McCurdy a
months wages, and it is certain he's
sorry he does not have to pay him a
yearly salary now.
Most players would hdve lost heart
trying to break in where Schalk, one
of the best receivers the game ever
produced, and Grouse we're stationed,
but McCurdy stuck to it and the be-
lief is that he will not be ousted for
several years to come.

Let Some of Pods Ripen Be-
fore Crop Is Cut.

Vetch is one winter legume that
seeds freely and from which good
supply of seed may be obtained at
p home.
If the vetch is now growing on land
where it is wanted again next year,
all that is necessary is to let some of
the lower seed pods ripen before the
crop is cut or turned under for soil
improvement. An abundant crop will
volunteer next fall.
"But where vetch is growing with
oats or rye they may be cut and
threShed together and sown just as
they come from the thresher,' says
e. O. Blair, extension agronomist for
the North Carolina State College of
Agriculture.
"Small quantities may be beaten out
where threshers are not available.
There is no trouble I'm sowing rye
and vetch together. With oats and
vetch 1t is necessary to keep the mix
ture stirred or the vetch, being heav-
Ter, will settle to the bottom.
"If 1t is desired to separate the
NeICH SeeU ITOIn tne OdtS anu rye, au-
vantage may be taken of the fact that
the vetch seed are round and will roll.
Sling a shovelful of mixed seeds
across a wide floor and the vetch will
roll to the farther edge, while the
grain will stop about half way. A
long porch will be an excellent place
for this work, II boards are set up
to keep the seed from rolling off the
edge.
"The spiral vetch separator makes
use Of this principle. In running
down the spiral trough, the vetch
rolls to the outside edge Of the trough,
and out through a different spout
from the oats or rye. Vetch seed
may also be separated with an ordi-
nary seed cleaner, equipped with suit
able screens"
The ease with which a supply of
yetch seed may be secured at home
should make it possible for increased

Here Is dessert that has all the
merits of festive appearance and un-
usual flavor, and the additional vir-
tue of rejecting very favorably on the

scotch cream pie is one Of those GER
tain-to-be popular desserts that can
be made of simple materials usually
on the pantry shelf.
The recipe below is from the United
States Department of Agriculture. The
chief points about making 1t success
fully are to cook the flour and milk
thoroughly before adding the sweet
ening and to be careful that the melt
ed butter and brown sugar become
just waxy, not caramelized. If you
like individual tarts for 'dress-up"
dinner use the filing in that way in
stead of making whole pie. The fill

Whitewash Is Excellent
for Use on implements

The use of white wash is not COM
monty recognized in connection with
the prevention of rust on implements
and other metal equipment. Prob
ably few farmers have ever tried
whitewashing implements to keep
them from rusting, but some with ex-
perience say coat Of whitewash in
the early winter will be highly effec-
tive for this purpose, and if they are
under cover a simple mixture of lime
and water is sufficient. Then. when
the implements are put into use in
the spring the whitewash quickly
wears off and causes no trouble.
A whitewash for preventing rust is
not the same as oil paint. Oil paint
keeps air and moisture away from
the surface of the implement, but
whitewash on the other hand, being
alkaline in character, serves to neu-
tralize the acid which normally causes
rust, and therefore prevents the rust
forming.

Time to Introduce New
Queen to Bee Colony

1t is an easy matter to decide what
colonies need new queens, because a
new queen bee properly introduced
is nearly always better than the one
she replaces, states Ray Hutson, bee
specialist at the New Jersey agri-
cultural experiment station. This OF
course does not apply to Italian queens
of this years brood.
Good queens from reliable breeders
can be secured for one dollar or less
and will in every case give large
return on the investment, In pride
of ownership, monetary return, and
ease of handling. In commercial bee
yard this last item is the same as
the second, for labor still remains the
largest cost in beekeeping. Freedom
from bee moth depredations and prop
olization, or gluing, is among the
many benefits to be derived from q
new queen.
The best time to get new queen
accepted by q colony Is at the time
a little honey is coming in. In many
localities there is a dearth the latter
part of July and the first part Of
August. If queen Is to be properly
established six weeks before a killing
frost, the first of August is none too
soon to make a start. 1t Is folly,
however, for the average beekeeper
to undertake requeening when there
is no honey flow, without feeding
day or so before, as well as during the
attempt.
There are numbers of methods for
introducing queens and the selection
of the one to be tried must rest with
the beekeeper. Queen breeders almost
invariably send directions for intro
duction on the shipping cage.

English Women Prefer
Lighter Men in Ring

Feminine prize-fight fans in England
are showing a preference for fly
weights and bantams, and on this ac-
count the little fellows are in great
demand.
Fight promoters have learned that
action without too many bruises is
more desired than science by women
spectators. Consequently, the pro-
moters have hit upon the scheme of
providing snappy lighter weight bouts
to stimulate interest in boxing among
the wives. sisters and sweethearts of
their regular patrons.
With women taking more interest
in sport than formerly, the managers
have hopes of reaping increased reve-
nue. by selling two tickets where for
merly they sold one.

The millionth Jersey has been reg
istered by the American Jersey Cattle
club, New York. This incident brings
to light the story of South Carolina
man who placed his faith in dairying
and has been most successful In build
ing up an outstanding pure-bred herd
from a very modest beginning.
The "millionth jersey" st. Sa-
viour's Blue Fox's Bess 739799, is
c., who started a Jersey herd in 1921
with the purchase of one pure-bred
heifer. From this small start he has
built up fine herd which is attract
ing much attention in the South, for
Mr.. Wright has followed along lines
which insure constant improvement in
both production and type. The orig
inal foundation heifer has dropped
three heifers and two bull calves, all
to the service of very good sires.
These three daughters have given Mr..
Wright six calves, while one grand
daughter has given him two calves,
making thirteen animals descended
from the heifer purchased In Novem-
ber, 1921. Inspection of the herd
shows that each generation is supe-
rior to the previous one both in type
and also in milk, producing ability.
Mr.. Wright presented his little
daughter, Sarah, with great-grand-
daughter of the foundation heifer, so
that she might become a member of
the Spartanburg County Jersey Calf
club. The heifer calf won first place
at the South Carolina state fair, and
little Miss Sarah then entered her in
the county calf club show where she
again won first. In the open classes

Using Ground Limestone
to Assist Glover Crop

The use of ground limestone where
clovers do not grow successfully, the
practice of good farm rotation
which includes clover crop, sufficient
natural or artificial drainage and the
thorough working of the soil to con-
troll weeds are essential to profitable
crop production. The response in
crop yields which will attend the ju-
dicious application of manure and
commercial fertilizers will depend to
a large extent upon the attention that
is given to those other essential fac
sors which are also largely under con-
trol of the farmer.

PEARS EASIEST
FRUIT TO CAN
FLAVOR Is Delicate and Are
Good for Salads.

Pears are one of the best and
easiest of fruits to can at home.
Their flavor is so delicate that they
are good seasoned with ginger or
other spices, or canned plain they
never come amiss for salads or for
fruit cup combined with other canned
or fresh fruits. If you have many
pears, put them up in various WAYS.
The general method Of canning is the
same for all.
Pare, core and quarter or halve the
pears, and then cook them from to
8 minutes in boiling medium sirup,
made by using l part of sugar to 2
parts of water. The size of the fruit
will determine the length of time they
should be cooked. This cooking makes
the hard varieties of pears pack bet
ter and enables one to pack the pears
hot into the containers. They are then
filled with boiling sirup. Process con-
tainers of all sizes In the water-bath
Gamer for 20 minutes.
The water-bath method of canning
is recommended by the United States
Department of Agriculture for fruits
and tomatoes. You may use a wash
boiler or any vessel with tight-fitting
cover that Is deep enough to hold the
jars completely immersed in water,
standing on rack or false bottom.
The pressure Gamer at 212 degrees
Fahrenheit may also be used for
pears.
Adjust rubbers, tops, and springs on
the jars, or seal tin cans and place
in the canner. Remove from the boil
ing water at the end of the time, seal
glass jars air tight, invert, and place
out of drafts. Plunge tin cans in cold
water to cool quickly.

The nickels given to children for con-
centrated sweets might better be
thrown away. They ruin appetite, di-
gestion, disposition and good teeth.
That child is fortunate who has been
brought up to enjoy without question
a glass Of milk and simple bread
and-butter sandwich, while the neigh
boris children are eating all-day suck
ers. An apple, an orange, or other
fruit in season, or a glass of cool
fruit juice is especially desirable be-
cause it provides a part of the Vita
mine and mineral content Of the diet
needed for proper growth and good
health. At the same time it does not
take the edge off the appetite in the
way that more concentrated foods do.
For the child who needs a more sub
stantial lunch, chopped raisin sand
wich or glass of dilute cocoa, chilled,
may be a pleasing surprise.

Selection of Foods and
Meal Plans for Fan1il y

Send to the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture for bulletins on
food selection and meal planning. Get
the whole family interested in the re-
lation of food to health and what con-
stitutes well-balanced diet. The
taste of food is no guide to its value
in diet, but a pleasing flavor aids in
getting the properly selected days
foods eaten by everybody. Have
plenty of each kind of food, well sea-
soned and carefully cooked, but not
too many kinds. Point out that on
succeeding days there will be new
combinations Of meat, vegetable, fruit,
dessert, and so on, so that eventually
each preference will be catered to in
turn.
