Significant Details


nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ / have followed your column
for long time and have learned
a great deal from it. Your an
swers have enlightened me on 80
many points that / feel bound by
my gratitude to thank you. It
seems to me that it 10 the very
small details which are neglected
BY etiquette books that show uS
in our true colors.
1. Il IL correct to eat cranberry
sauce, or mint jelly, direct from
the small dish in which it II
served?
.. Is It better to transfer q
small amount on the fork TO the
plate and eat It from the plate? .
3. If q lady and gentleman are
dining in a, restaurant, il it good
form for her to wait until both
have been served before she starts
to eat?
4. If a woman acquaintance has
expressed pleasure at meeting one,
should that one reply, Thank
you'' or should she say that she,
too. Is pleased? think It such
an awkward expression that I do
not say 1t unless feel 1t sincerely.
"A. NJ. T.
Thank you 90 much for your
delightfully appreciative words.
what 3. friendly reader you are
you made me very happy by what
you say. And, you are most as
suredly right about those Big Little
Things that are 20 indicative OF
cur manners! Etiquette books are
usually 80 engrossed In discussing
what the butler should do or
should not do. that they pay scant
attention to the significant details
by which we are judged. And
there aren't so many buffers in
the world as there are significant
details Of manners!
/. No.
2. Yes. Not only better, but
II must be done. With the serv-
ing spoon placed for the pur-
pose you serve yourself from
the plate In which the sauce II
served.
3. Yes. or else she registers
too great haste to get at" her
food And this, Of course, gives
an unpleasant impression.
4. agree with your last sem
tence-unreservedly But as q
matter Of fact, usually one II
pleased at meeting another
human being. In acknowledg-
nent Of such q pleasant com.
ment as that the person met IL
rlad to meet US, one should
say a Thank you," and, unless
It really is insincere, add, 81
am very glad to have met you'
too"
May I make one suggestion
that have found helpful and
that you, too, may find win make
this kind Of acknowledgment
easier to say? I discovered that.
to me, 1t is the repetition OF
glad" that makes the diff
Guilty. Let me suggest that you
try "Thank you. I am very,
hapy to have met you, too,
or Thank you. 1t was = great
pleasure to meet you, too"
Dear Mrs. Beecknan:
intend to be- married soon
ana would appreciate it very
much Il you would let me know
whether could wear q flesh
colored dress and veil instead OF
white? LOIS.
Yes, II your wedding is to
be informal. The conventional
white wedding dress ana bridal
veil establish the formaity OF
q wedding.

Artificial silk is now employed
in the manufacture of many fab
rics that formerly could be woven
only from the natural product
according to Popular Mechanics
Magazine, these include taffeta,
crepe de chine. .foulard, and other
materials. Some of the threads
are almost as fine as those Of a
spiderweb, and special methods of
color blending have been devel-
ioped in the dyeiBg processes. One
OF the most successful of the
fabrics is artificial-silk fur. II is

'Hot weather is not the only cause
for reduced egg production during the

other factors are likely to contribute
to the unfavorable showing of the
poultry flock during this season.
"Too often the flock is neglected
during the summer in the pressure of
other work. Careful, regular feeding
and cleanliness are the two items
most often neglected with consequent
unfavorable results.

TWO ACCIDENTS OCCUR ON
OLD NORTHWESTERN PIKE
Four Persons Received Injuries

old Northwestern Turnpike were re-
ported during the past few days, one
of which resulted in painful injuries

other sustained broken toe and the
fourth was bruised on his arm and

Company, States Some Facts Con.
corning Dairying.
To the Editor of The Republican.
Is there any money in the dairy
business?
Answer this question first:
Are you keeping cows, or are they
keeping you?
The amount of milk produced by
each COW in the United States in 1915
was 300 pounds. In 1921 it was
1000 pounds, and in 1927 it was
4,700 pounds.
Four thousand seven hundred lbs
of milk at % cents per gallon will
bring S15275 and the feed cost will
be approximately 500, leaving q
profit above feed of S52.75.
A COW giving 5000 pounds of milk
at the same rate, the product would
be worth S250.00, and at a feed cost
not to exceed S125.00, leaving a profit
of $125.00.
Should the latter COW be purebred
it would be safe to assume that he1
calf would be worth $75 each year
Yet calf from the poorer COW will
be worth but little as we are not max
ing progress toward higher produc-
ton and more profit.
The feed cost is the important one
concerned with profit.
Growing feeds at home and selling
them to the COW make the most profit
Prepare now for just a little more
silage. If you have no silo, build one
Plan for legume hay, either soy beans
cow peas or alfalfa. A little oats and
vetch will make good feed and it will
take 1000 pounds for each COW you
have until hay comes again.
An acre of mangels have been
known to yield so tons. Why not grow
a quarter acre? They will put cash
in the bank.
To maintain the body weight of a
1000 ID. COW it requires months pas
LuIS dJ 90 pei lllOulH, VI olO, JOHS
legume hay at $40 per ton, $40, and to
produce 400 pounds of milk it re-
quires 800 pounds of digestible pro
tien. Using 100 pounds ground oats
100 pounds corn meal and 100 pounds
Farm Bureau 80 per cent dairy spe-
cial, we have feed with II per cent
digestible protein at a cost of $3.50
per hundred pounds.
To get 300 pounds digestible pro-
tein it will require 1900 pounds of
this mixed feed at a cost of $4,000.
For COW giving 5000 pounds OF
milk, the requirements are the same
for maintenance, but the milk re-
quirements is 432 pounds of digesti-
BILE protein or 2,700 pounds of grain
of $3.50 per hundred of S67.50, plus
maintenance, or a total cost OF
$122.5O.
Of course, the individual cow will
make some changes as no two COWS
are of the same disposition and Re.
quire different handling.
Know what each COW is doing.

NEW FRENCH

Resembles American Cur rency-New Crisp
 Greenbacks

PARIS, Aug. 2.-Really substan- tial greenbacks, fresh and crinkly, may make their appearance in France before the end of this year
 Labelled in francs, of course. in- stead of dollars, they will be a part of the Poincare governments reform of the French monetary system.
 For several months the experts of the 'Monnaie," as the French mint is known, have been studying the American system of coinage. Their principal objection to the style of American bills has bean that it does not lend itself suffi- eiently to artistic treatment
 Recent calculations, however, have shown that the life of the present flimsy French notes is less than five years and the econ omy of the heavier silk-fibre parch- ment is being understood Prices have been asked from firms in the United States and Germany, and technical commission for work ing out the details of the reform is to be appointed within few weeks.
 The change will be welcome one for tourists, as it will carry with it the abolishing of the ex- cessiyely large 300 and 1000 franc notes which were instituted when those in the rural districts, unable
 Il most cases to read or wrJte, yanged a bank note by it's size.
