NO PRODUCT OF LUCK

When you visit some fine appear
ing town, and observe it's handsome
homes, it's well planned streets and
parks, you may remark that the peo-
pie of that city are fortunate. But
il you mean by fortunate, that they
have been the beneficiaries of good
fortune without effort on their part,
you are mistaken.
1t will always be found in such
places, that a great many people
have toiled and labored unceasing-
ly to create a better community.
They were not satisfied to take the

and chance, but they saw great pos

BIG NAMES IN LITERATURE

The articles which ex-Presldent
Coolidge is writing for several of
the magazines will attract wide at
tention, and it can be foreseen that
Mr.. Coolidge will be able to get
very high prices for any such ar
ticles that he may wish to produce.
There is a great demand for mag
azine articles from people who have
acquired name and fame. The folks
who have made themselves con-
spicuous can get their articles print
ed very easily, and secure high
prices for them.
This situation is discouraging to
literary aspirants who have no
such established reputation. A per-
son might write an article having as
much ability, interest, timeliness,
and Informative value as many of
the articles written by famous peo-
pie. But that person might send that
dTLlCl6 W d nuL1USI VI hdS1AAhCo5
and receive it back with brief note
of declination, perhaps only print
ed rejection slip in some cases. And
if the article was printed, it might
bring only a small price, hardly suf-
ficient to pay competent writer for
the time put into it.
If people want to make living by
writing, most of them will have to
depend for long time on what they
can get from some form of newspa-
per work. They should not be too
proud about the kind of work they
are willing to do for newspapers
either.
They are likely to have to start in
as reporters or local correspond
ents, and be satisfied to cover the
news for a long time. If they have
ability as writer's it will eventually
show itself, but very few people can
ever get the high prices for their |
literary work that are obtained by
people who have made themselves
famous in some field of action. -

THE PERHS OF EXPOSURE

The fatal illness which carried off
Ambassador Herrick in France, is
laid to the fact that he marched
bareheaded for three hours in the
Marshal Foch funeral exercises. 1t
was a graceful act. But when our
leading men pay these tributes of
respect, they sometimes take chan
ces that should not be expected of
them.
This fact might give cause for
thought also to boys and young men
who are going bareheaded in cold
weather. They will say they are
young and strong and able to stand
exposure. But many of them get
severe colds, which have menacing
results. 1t is worth noting that
some leading schools put a stop to
this fad during the past winter. The
boys might well reflect that human
experience has told people to keep
their heads covered in cool weather.

Asparagus should be cooked the
shortest possible time to preserve its
fine flavor and valuable food con-
stituents. 1t may be cooked whole
or cut up in inch pieces. Young, ten
der asparagus, cut up, will cook in
from 10 to Is minutes.
Vary the acid in your French
dressing occasionally, and also the
seasonings. Orange, lemon or grape
fruit juice may be used in place of
plain vinegar, or tarragon or spiced
vinegar from pickles. Crumbled Ro-
quefort cheese, minced green pepper
or pimento, chopped stuffed olives,
chopped mixed pickle, celery seed,
horseradish, or onion juice are other
favors which may be added accord
ing to taste, either separately or in
any preferred combinations.
Sour milk and soda may be sub
stituted for sweet milk and baking
powder in making biscuits, cake, or
cookies, and vice versa. When pro-
portions are given in terms of sweet
milk and baking powder, an equal
quantity of sour milk may be sub
stituted and enough soda used ap-
proximately to neutralize the acid,
or a scant half teaspoonful for each
cup of sour milk. In the case of
thin batters the soda and sour milk
usually furnish enough eavening.

A TESTIMONY TO ADVERTISING
A wonderful testimony to the
power of advertising is given by the
recent announcement that the Wes-
tinghouse Electric and Manufactur-
ing Company will triple its use of
advertising during 1929, as a result
of the demonstration already given
of the effectiveness of advertising in
selling the company's products.
There was unanimous demand for
this forward step by the sales rep
resentatives of the company. They
know how newspaper space works
to boost their sales.
Business concerns that are ambi-
tious to see their sales grow should
learn a lesson therefrom. They can
see in such instances how the big
companies are adding to their busi-
ness. The small and medium sized
concern can get the same proper
tionate results.

chickens successfully early in the

weather, depending on her size.
One of the best temporary pasture
crops for sheep where the soil is
thin is the soy bean. This crop has
the desirable ability to make new
growth after being grazed and can
be pastured from July until the first
frost.
Small-sized eggs mixed with nor
mal-sized eggs detract from the
market value of the package and
should be used at home or sold sep
arately. Neither is it desirable to
include unusually large eggs in a
standard package, as they are very
likely to break.
While the dairy COW should be
given all the salt she needs, she
should not be forced to eat more
than she wants. The best way is to
give only a small quantity with the
feed, not to exceed one per cent of
the grain mixture by weight, and to
place salt in boxes where she can
lick it at will.
Pasture for the farm horse saves
feed and labor, and the green grass
acts as a general tonic and laxative.
For horses at work, however, a light
supplementary grain ration high in
protein and non-laxative in nature is
advisable. When horses that are ac-
customed to heavy grain ration
are turned on pasture for a long
idle period, they should be given a
small amount of grain for few
days; otherwise they may gorge
themselves on the green roughage.
If horses on pasture are laid off
from field work for few days at
time, the grain ration should be re-
dueed to about half the usual
amount. Irregularity in feeding, with |
sudden changes to green feed, is apt |
to result in digestive troubles, and |
turning horses on pasture regularly |
at night keeps their digestive sys-
TENS accustomed to the succulent
green feed. Horses put on pasture
at night should receive only small
quantity of hay with the evening
grain ration before being turned out.

LIMITS OF EFFICIENCY

The famous Gridiron Club, MADE
ND of Washington newspaper cor
RESPONDENTS, entertained President
Hoover recently, and humorously
satirized his fame as a producer OF
efficiency. Perhaps they had in mind
the comment, that while efficiency IS
a marvellous idea, and has reVolu-
tionized modern industry, still there
are sharp limits to the things it can
accomplish.
All over the country business men
are studying the principles OF what
is called efficiency. They are inVes-
tigating their working methods, to
see if their employees perform their
tasks with the least expenditure OF
time and effort. They shift over the
arrangements of their machines and
benches and buildings, trying every
where to reduce wasted motion.
These changes are fine when jul
diciously made, and tend toward
lower cost production. Still there
is a human element there that every
efficiency expert should take note
of.
One can imagine that some fac
tory that was managed by man
who was not very strong on mod
ern efficiency methods, but who had
a genius for .arousing his workpeo-
pie to loyal effort and enthusiasm,
might accomplish a lot, even in his
defective plant. Perhaps he would
get more work done than some men
who are very strong on cutting out
lost motion, but who fail to arouse
the enthusiasm and personal inter-
est of the employees.
The worlds work needs two quail
tiles about equally, and if it lacks
either one of them, the work will not |
go right. These qualities are eff
cheney and enthusiasm. People will |
do lot of work, even with poor
tools, if they are interested in their
Job, and can be made to see that
doing the job well will be to their
personal advantage.
The efficiency expert of the future
here in Milford will not be a man
who merely studies the mechanical
side of his work, but he must be an
expert on personal relations. This
has been brought home to employ
ers of labor, over a series of years.

RURAL WIT

A Boston Herald reporter notes
that Gen. Dawes, who has been
named as ambassador to Great Brit
ain, was recently telling of the wit
ty manner in which Col. John Cool
idge, father of the recent president,
eluded the questions the newspaper
men were putting to him one day
back in 1924.
This happened at President Cool
idge's Vermont home, when Gen.
Dawes visited him for few hours.
Col Coolidge was asked by the
newspaper boys, what the President
and Gen. Dawes talked about.
'I told them my hearing want so
good as it used to be-" Col Coolidge
lived quiet life in a back country
town, but none of the polished diplo-
mats of Washington could have
lodged an embarrassing question
with greater astuteness.
The above might be taken as an
illustration of the bright remarks all
the time being made by the country
people, as we constantly see them
in the localities around the towns
of the Delaware Peninsula-espe-
cially Milford, where we know the
people best.
Some folks who don't know the
country folks think they are slow
thinking, but you rarely find in cit
les peeple who can make such keen
and pointed comments on life.
They do not always have very
much to amuse them in quiet rural
scenes, so that their fun comes
largely from their sense of humor,
which sees all the incongruous as
meets of the world around them. You
can't tell by the looks of these ru-
raj folks just what they are. Some
of them look rustic enough, but
hushv headed farmer from back
road. called "Uncle Reuben" by the
Smart city Alecks, is quite likely to
see through his visitors. They come
ont to make fun of him, but will
usually get the worse end of the
joke.
Country people are often lacking
in power for action and cooperation
which makes things go slow in many
country towns, but no one should
ever think they are dull and stupid.

BloOd-Thirty Fleas-HOw To Kill
Them

The pestiferous flea made himself
unusually troublesome in 1928,
thereby stimulating interest in his
destruction. Because 1eas require
blood to enable them to reproduce,
infestations are usually connected
with the sleeping places of dogs,
cats, hogs, or chickens. Such places
should be sprayed with creosote oil
by means of force pump. If han
died carefully, creosote oil may be
used in Easements and outbuildings,
though it stains considerably. If
f1eas are found breeding under rugs
or in the cracks of floors, the rugs
should be hung up in the sun and
thoroughly beaten, and the floors
wiped up with gasoline. Five pounds
of faxed naphthalene, scattered over
the floor of a closer room and left
for 8 or 10 hours, will kill the f1eas
in it. Infested cats ore dogs should
be busted with powdered derris root
or fresh pyrethrum powder.

Old Hog Lots Dangerous

The parasitic roundworm pursues
a devious route in its travels
Through the pig. In the early stages,
while still too small to be seen with
the naked eye, the worm travels in
the blood stream from the intestine
to the lungs and then back to the in
testine by way of the windpipe and
esophagus. This curious journey
takes about ten days, after which
the worm settles down in the intes-
tine and grows to maturity in about
21s months. If many young worms
take this trip at the same time, it is
"a serious matter, and thumps, pneu-
monia, and death or stunted growth
may result. Young pigs are partic-
ularly susceptible and the only way
to prevent their swallowing round
worm eggs and becoming infected is
to follow the swine-sanitation sys-
tenn. This means clean sows, clean |
farrowing quarters, and keeping the |
pigs away from old hog lots or other
places where they might get infect
ed through the manure from older
hogs. About ten days after farrow-
ing, the sow and pigs should be
hauled to clean pasture.

MONEY AT PRESENT HELD
DEAR. BUT NOT SCARCE

To affect the stock market unfavor-
ably, money must be not only dear but
scarce. The word dear" Is purely
relative. says Barron's Weekly, and
it S much more important to note
that throughout the greatest bull
market in the history of Wall Street
money has not been scarce. Eff
forts to make 1t scarce with view to
curbing speculation and directing finan-
cial assistance into other channels have
failed conspicuously. When pressure
was brought to bear upon the national
banks to curtail their loans in the call
market, private lenders stepped In and
established condition which the banks
could not control.
If the speculative market is in a
sanguine mood, high money rates will
not check its activities, so long as
money can be obtained dependably at
some quotabie prices, Barron's asserts.
