REDWOOD COUNTY
WOMAN HONORED
Mrs. l.. E. Potter of Springfield
to be HOnOred as Master
Farm Home Maker.

TO five rural women of Minnesota
will come the honor tomorrow night
of being the first Master Farm Home
makers ever named in Minnesota.
The new title will be conferred at
a dinner in st. Paul to be attended by
800 agricultural, business and educa-
tional leaders from over the state.
The five women were chosen for
their unusual ability in the art of
home making to represent thousands
of other successful farm women of
Minnesota, and the honor, while con-
ferred on five, will be in reality an
honor for farm women as a class.
The event will mark the first rec
ognitiOn of farm home making as a
profession. The project is sponsor
ed by The Farmers Wife, national
farm women's magazine of st. Paul,
in cooperation with the home econ
omics extension service of the College
of Agriculture, University of Mime
sofa.
The five women are: Mrs. Eustis
B. Olson, Ivanhoe; Mrs. L. f. Potter,
Springfield; Mrs. Ernest d. Hanke,
Brownsville; Mrs. w. F. Merrill,
Winnebago; and Mrs. H. W. Brodt,
Fairmont.
Any farm woman in the state was
eligible on nomination by five neigh
bors. Each nominee supplied detail
ed information concerning her home
making methods for the consideration
of five judges, chosen by Miss Julia
Newton of the extension service at
the College of Agriculture
In explaining the Master Farm
Home-maker project Dan. A. Wallace,
directing editor of The Farmers
Wife, said that ''the recognition of
successful farm women is long over
due, for, they have always produced
most of the worlds leaders and they
have always guarded our finest FAM
lily traditions. The fate of the ma
tion depends on agriculture, agricul-
ture depends on its farm homes and
these farm homes, in turn, largely
depend on the home-makers."
The Master Farm Home-maker
movement, inaugurated this year, is
already nationwide.

With the mid-year crop of new

squill and 2 ounces of good butter,

FACE POWDER FROM JAVA

A native of Java, being a human
being after all, might be expected to
derive a certain amount of enjoy
ment out of some of our musical
shows, even if he didn't understand
what they were all about. At any
rate, he would never dream of blam-
ing the pretty bits of femininity
that sing and dance before him for
the fact that at home he is unable
to eat his own rice.
Java grows some of the finest rice
in the world. Because of its pure
white color it is extremely valuable
in the manufacture of rice powder,
used so extensively in the theatre,
so that the entire crop of this little
island famous for its coffee is ex-
ported. Yet the native subsists al
most entirely on rice, and perforce
must import an inferior grade from
Indo-China, since his own is too
good for him.
This interesting fact is contained
in an interesting account of life in
the oil fields of Java by Wallace
Graham Corwin, which appears in
the current issue of "The Lamp"
published by the Standard Oil Com
pany. The rice crop there is so val
liable, he says, that unusual precau-
tiOns are taken to safeguard it.
While the crop is yellowing to ripe
ness, little pickaninnies perched in
sentry boxes ON tall bamboo stills
watch over it. Long strings, on
which are hung leaves and bits of
grass, stretch from these boxes to
the corners of the field. When the
watchboy discovers a marauding
ricebird attacking the crop, he
twitches the proper string and
frightens the intruder away.
The oil fields" of Java are very |
often clearings in the teak forests. |
Because of the availability of this
wood, visitors are afforded the un-
usual sight of giant oil derricks
built entirely of teak.
Oddly enough, most of the luxur-
les of civilization and few of the
necessities of everyday life
are obtainable in the little island
south of Indo-China. Yet the Ameri-
can oil man learns to like this far
)ff land of tranquility and jungle
beauty.

chase it from manufacturers who
guarantee it's toxicity. Red squill
can also be used with cereals,
ground meats, or fruits and vege-
tables as bats. 1t is important that
a sufficient number of bats be dis
tributed at one time to provide an
ample supply for all the rats. Bats
should be put around in he evening
so they will be fresh when the rats
are feeding; stale bats are unat-
tractive to rodents; hence bats put
out should be picked up and de-
stroyed the following morning.
