Farm or Train, Texan
Runs Either one Well

Palestine, TeXas.-In addition to O
man-sized job as conductor on crack
passenger train on the Missouri Pa
cifc lines, q. B. Howard personally
supervises his 335-acre farm near
Palestine.
Known for his accuracy and preci-
sion as a ''railroader," Howard EN-.
ploys the same art in the management
of his farm. He is illustrating the
benefits of diversied farming to a
marked degree. OF particular merit is
the fine dairy herd he is developing
Among his live stock Is a brood SOW
that has two filters year. No small
item of income is the annual yield of
mohair from a herd of 81 Angora
goats.
Howard raises the feed for all his
live stock. His field crops this year
were cotton, corn, cowpeas, sorghum
and hegari. A good home orchard is
being developed and much of this land
is in pasture.

College Students Get
Laundry From Postman

Knoxville, Tenn.-Laundry by mail
is a regular custom at the University
of Tennessee. Post office officials say
that some 600 students take advan-
tage of the postal service to have
their laundry done at home.
Each week the parcel post laundry
bags filled with soiled. linen go out
in trucks for widely separated parts
of the country, and the clothes come
back the next week freshly Numbered.
Some send their clothes to homes as
far away as Iowa, Illinois and New
York.
Many, reasons are advanced for the
Lractice. First, it makes the 'home
ties" stronger. Whether the weekly
letters get off regularly or not, there
is always the laundry bag to let par
EMS know that the sender is all right
Economy is another explanation. 1t
not only saves the students budget
that much. but in addition takes care
of many repair bills.

Bug Collector Makes
Hobby Pay for College

Lebanon, Tenn.-J. K. Albright of
Nashville is going through college on
bugs and butterflies.
A senior at Cumberland university
here, Albright spends his leisure time
collecting specimens, selling enough to
pay his expenses and keeping the
others for exhibits.
He has collection of more than
10000 butterflies and moths, including
two white males of the Sulphur va
riety of butterflies, considered ex-
tremely valuable, Albright says, be-
cause the male seldom changes its
color from yellow to white. He has
several specimens of the Cloudless
Sulphur and Monarch varieties. The
Monarchs possess scent glands to
protect them from birds and eject an
odorous fluid when in danger.
Albright is student of chemistry
File says his specimens range in value
from cents to 500 each.

PASS CLOSET FROM
DINING ROOM SIDE

prepared by the United States Department

A glass-doored closet of any sort in
the dining room Is ornamental only
when choice dishes, seldom used, are
attractively displayed in it. Such a
closet is rather like a curo cabinet,
taking up more space than most homes
can spare. Chinaware in constant use
must be in and out of the closet for
every meal, and the shelves where 1t is
stored are intended for service, not for
decorative purposes. When half empty
such shelves are better concealed be-
hind opaque wooden doors than visible
through glass.

HELIUM PLANT TO
RUN FULL BLAST
Government Project in Texas
Near Completion.

Amarillo, Texas.-When the new he.
fun plant of the United States gov.
eminent. under construction near here
is completed and in operation next
January, 1t will be run on 24-hour
seven-days-a-week basis, it is an.
nounced. Railroad tank cars of a
special design are now being built for
transporting the refined helium to the
dirigible airports Of the army and
navy. Each of these cars will con.
sist of three enormous cylinders, one
on top Of two, pyramid-fashion, Sc
cured together and firmly fixed on a
raflroad-car chassis. The drums, or
cylinders. will each be approximately
40 feet in length, with an inside diam
eter of 4S inches and q shell of two
inch thickness.
They will be gas-tight, with suitable
safety valves, and carry their loads
under a pressure Of 1000 pounds a
square inch. Under this pressure "a
car will carry 100000 cubic feet of
helium. Each cylinder is tested to
DOW pOuiuS pIcSSuIS Square luClI.
At this time there are three cars of
this type available. The army has
two and the navy one.
An interesting fact in connection
with these cars, from an engineering
point of view, is that cylinder of
this magnitude can carry load I'M
der such heavy pressure.
The first unit Of the new helium
plant is made up of nine buildings,
together with storage tanks and
equipment. The principal structures
are the separation building where the
helium is recovered and the admins
tration building and shops. AS it
stands the plant represents roughly
one unit of what will ultimately
evolve into project capable Of han
ding 100000 cubic feet of raw gas,
and more, every day. Its present ca
pacity will range between 100000
and 100000 cubic feet daily. This.
however, Is not actual helium recov-
cred but the amount Of raw gas
passed through the compressors in
day.

In spite of the fact that there are
said to be at least fifty different ways
of preparing potatoes, many families
know them only as boiled, mashed,
baked, or creamed. Frying potatoes
in deep fat is not nearly so difficult as
many people believe, and lattice pota-
toes, shoe-string potatoes, French frys,
and potato chips, are all different
forms in which potatoes may be cooked
at home in deep, hot fat. This gives
them the delicate brown color and
crisp texture that makes them so well
come whenever served.
The grooved board, covered with a
piece of tin with cutting edge, for
making lattice potatoes, can be bought
almost anywhere kitchen wares are
sold. 1t is not expensive. Shoe-string
potatoes can also be cut on this board,
or with knife. A knife is generally
used for cutting potatoes into strips
for French frying. A vegetable slicer

TWO FARMERS TRADE
WIVES AND CHILDREN
And Everybody Seems Hap
py Over the Exchange.

New Auburn, Wis.-Two Chippewa
county farms are the scene of 6
strange trade. The deal involved
eleven children, two husbands, two
wives, and untold quantities of house
hold furniture.
Mrs. Lizzie Heidelberger, forty
years old, has packed up her house

moved to the home Of William Brown
| forty.
Mrs. William Brown, forty years
old, also packed her beds and frying
pan, and, taking three of her five chill
dren to Edward Heidelberger, thirty.
nine, announced: "This will be your
new papa"
Families Had Been Friends.
The Heidelbergers and the Browns
hadsbeen intimate friends for years
But Mrs. Heidelberger believed her
husband was just little more cruel
than Mr.. Brown. And Mrs. Brown be-
lieved that Mr.. Heidelberger was an
angel compared to her own husband.
So Mrs. Brown sued her husband
for divorce on grounds of cruel and
inhuman treatment, and Mrs. Heidel-
berger followed suit against her mate,
making the same charges.
One morning Mr.. Brown said to
Mrs. Brown: "Mrs. Heidelberger is
coming to keep house for me and she
is bringing her six children. You can
do as you please, but it would be best
If you went away" Mrs. Brown took
the hint. en- the way out she met
Mr.. Heidelberger.
Said Mr.. Heidelberger: "Well, you
might as we'll come and keep house
for me. Bring the three boys along
to do the chores. It's too bad that
your two grown girls aren't here to
help with the housework."
Other than the numerical disad-
vantage suffered by Mr.. Heidelberger
in the exchange of children-and they
are considered an asset around a
farn-the deal was consummated
amicably enough. The two husbands
helped each other in moving the
heavy furniture and they conversed
in friendly terms.
Even the Engagement Ring.
Mr.. Brown paid Mrs. Brown to re-
linquish the engagement ring which
he gave her 20 years ago and the
circlet now flashes on the hand of
Mrs. Heidelberger. Mrs. Brown
shows no jewelry to designate her
new status, although Mrs. Heidel
berger says she also gave up the ring
which her husband, placed upon her
finger when they were betrothed II
years ago.
Neither husband is contrasting his
wife's divorce suit. Mr.. Brown has
been ordered by court to pay his
wife S25 month for the support OF
the children.
1--WE have never been happier in
our lives, and the children ALSO" the
wives agreed
The six Heidelberger children are
from one to sixteen years old, four
boys and two girls. Charles Brown,
fourteen; Richard, twelve; and Billy,
seven, will have to do most of the
work around the Heidelberger place.
Their sister, Bessie, sixteen, was mar
ried three weeks ago, and Mary, sew
enteen, is attending New Auburn
high school and working.
