The recent dairy situation may be
dynamite to a great many dairy
herds unless the dairyman himself
has full faith in his, industry.
1t takes about three years to build
a dairy COW and bring her into pro-
duction. The present dairy situation
can be materially changed in a per-
iod of three years and the "in-and-
outer" may find himself scrambling
for good dairy stock at that time.
The wise dairyman is still cOntinu-
ing to save his good heifer calves.
Many folks may be asking them
selves whether there is really going
to be a demand for these calves. We
know that the present situation will
have a tendency to eliminate the in
efficient COW. AS people are learn

CRIMSON CLOVER

One of the most economical le-
gumes for green manuring is Grim
son clover-except in the north
where it will not usually survive the
winters. Crimson clover will grow
on poorer soils than most clovers
and is not particularly dependent on
lime. The most common difficulty
in growing this crop, the killing OF
yound stands by drought, can be pre-
vented by preparing a fine, and firm
ly packed seed bed. August and Sep
tember are the best times for SOW
ing. Seed in the hull is more likely
TO give a good stand than hulled
seed. Combinations of crimson
clover with oats, harry vetch, or
other fall-sown forage crops give
somewhat higher yields and a more
even stand than crimson clover
alone,

HOW TO KEEP COOL

Every one talks about the wealth
er but no one seems to do anything
about it, Mark Twain once said. Al
though we haven't yet been able to
change atmospheric conditions at
will, we have for better facilities for
keeping comfortable than had the
famous American humorist not so
long ago.
Besides ice cream, electric fans,
and the air cooling systems that
make our moving picture theatres
delightful in warm weather, there
is the bath with all its luxurious ac-
cessories. When collars wilt and
disposition become frayed, we need
no longer consume our energies in
plying a palm leaf fan. A twist of
the faucet, a few moments wait un-
til the tub fills up, and we can ease
ourselves. gently into the cool or
tepid depths. ''
After strenuous exercise or a hard
days work, there is new vigOr to be
found under the spray of the shower
bath. Those who dislike sudden
shocks, even in warm weather, can
work up a iather of soap under the
warm water, then let it grow grad
ually cold. Harder souls can take
their cold shower bath straight, al
though lukewarm bath is really
more cooling.
Most Of us don't have to struggle
with the handle of a pump when we
want to freshen our hands and faces
during the day. We don't have to
fetch and carry buckets of water un-
less we are camping. Running wa
ter, piped into our offices and
homes, provides us with a ready
means of keeping clean and cool.
In this age of scientific develop
ment, the time may come when we
will be able to adjust the weather to
suit the whim of the moment. Mean
while, since talking doesn't help, we
are fortunate to have at hand a ready
means of defense against mounting
temperatures.

SUSSEX POST NO. 8

Dear Charlie:
/ was down at RehOboth the other
day and who should see but Post
Commander Hayden, of HenlOpen
Post He had on his bathing suit. |
was told that the water was cold and
when l looked at the size of the ocean
and then his size l didn't think there
was much chance of his warming it
so I stayed out. l saw Comrade
Horn and the way the mosquitoes
were drilling l thought they would
carry him off. Have you noticed
when you go down to RehObOth the
number of people that go into the
huddle? If it would be war times
think they would be arrested as
spies At first l thought they were
football players but l found out they
were politicians.
Well that was a nice meeting we
had in the basement of the M. P.
church. l always like to see Rev.
Hungerford and his wife. There GER
tainly was some excitement just be-
fore meeting time. 1t seems the
cream got sour they were going to
use on the cake. Whose fault was
that Charlie?
Comrade Baer made the coffee
How did it taste to you? thought
it was fair.
They tell me Post Commander
Clendaniel went to the circus and
almost had an accident. He wanted
to ride the elephant but his girl
wouldn't let him.
Did you know that Bess Hudson
forgot to bring sugar for the coffee?
She tried to pass it off by saying she
didn't use it and supposed everyone
else did not use it. Fathom that one.
Comrade Fisher came to the meet
ing in his fireman's uniform and he
was elected sergeant-at-arms on. the
spot.
The Auxiliary won a cup at the
Rehoboth Convention for the great
est increase in membership. Now
that they have it what are they go
ing to do with it?
Comrade Calhoun, Carey and At
fierbach were appointed on the
Armistice Day Committee. There
ought to be something doing on No
vember 18th.
What happened to Comrade Blake?
He said he would be at our last
meeting but didn't see him.
Well, Comrade EdgintOn told me
the way to put kick into a drink was
to put a grasshopper in each bottle.

HISTORIC COURT CUSTOMS

The historic court presentation
custom goes back many centuries
and it is still carried on within tire
palace itself with much of the an
cient pomp and ceremony. However,
the exigencies of modern life have
altered the external character of the
event for both participants and spec
tatOrs alike.
One readily imagines great pal
ace with turrets and spires set
down in the midst of spacious parks
and giving off to lovely vistas. One
sees instead a modern museum-like
building somewhat cramped for
space in the heart of a great and
busy city. One visualiZes perhaps
an old coach and four swinging
through the palace gates to the
flourish of trumpets. But actually
one sees a long line of motor cars
slowly moving through rather bare
courtyard to the tune of droning mo-
tors and shifting gears. Instead of
great ladies dressed in ermine and
dazzling with jewels one finds quite
ordinary-lOOking persons who in an
other setting might be going to an
afternoon reception. The effect to
the casual spectator, at least, is
rather that of a fashionable wedding
at home than what most persons in
America conceive presentation at
court" to be.
The kind of dress to be worn at
these ceremonies is carefully pre-
scribed, and Queen Mary will not
stand for any of the bold modern
necklines, even on the sauciest flap
per. eve wonder what Alice Roose-
welt LongwOrth would do if she were
to be presented!) However, pastel
shades are now permitted along
with the customary white. When
Helen Wills was presented she wore
egg-shell satin. Somewhat shorter
skirts are now permitted but women
so honored must carry feather fans
as of yore and wear the traditional
three plumes of Wales in their head
dress. Every costume has to pass
inspection before it reaches the
throne room.
The ceremony proper begins in the
early hours of the evening and takes
place four times a year. Those who
are to be presented must be in their
station outside the palace gates sew
eral hours in advance. A special
parking place about half mile long
is reserved for their cars on the
curb of the Mall, broad avenue
leading to the palace. The Mall is
one of the main arterial streets in
London and the traffic is especially
dense in the evening hours. The.
court guests are thus in full view of
thousands of passing motorists dur
ing all this time. Being near the
curb they are likewise subjects to
the scrutiny of pedestrians who
crowd the walks.-The Pathfinder.

THE SPECIAL SESSION

The special session of the Senate
is making WashingtOn's heat more
uncomfortable - if that's possible. -.
It seems strange that Mr.. Hoover
can't control the Senate. He has
managed several other calamities so
well! A proverb locally modern
lied is: In time of peace prepare for
Hiram Johnson. President Hoover
probably figured that he would rath-
er sign the tariff bill than read it
About the only advantage of be-
ing President in these hot times is
that no one questions your fish stor-
les.
A not so hot debate at the capital
this summer concerns who owns the
south pole. But the State Depart
ment is not showing much interest.
It is more interested in training fu-
ture diplomats. Part of their course
is how to talk to newspapermen-
undoubtedly specializing in how to
use the word alleged" .... Before
adjournment one congresswoman
was observed wearing a smOck,
which just goes to show that the
Capitol may yet get good House
cleaning.
There hasn't been anything about
Alice Longworth and Dolly Gam in
the papers for so long that we have
reached the conclusion that no one
is inviting them out to dinner any
more. .. The guest of honor at
Willard hotel banquet was a horse,
but no notice was taken of it until
attention was called to its small
ears. o.. Petty thievery must be get
ting worse in Washington. A Piggly
Wiggly ("help-yourself'O store in
one select neighborhood has found
it expedient to put its canned sliced
chicken under the watchful eye of

as well as SHADOW Ranch" the cur
rent Columbia all-talking feature
with Buck Jones which holds the
screen at the New Plaza Theatre
Friday and Saturday, September 19-
20.
1t would be difficult to imagine a
more likeable, wholesome character
than Sim Baldwin, the cow-puacher
who quits his job and rides many
hard miles at the call of friend in
need. Finding his friend murdered,
Sim takes up the task his pal had
left Misunderstanding to save a girls
property from the cOnniving schemes
of scoundrel, thrilling the audience
with a barrage of stunts, fights and
amazing horsemanship.
There is no "hedging" the cow
puncher. He backs up has argu-
ments with both fists and very often
with a "siX-gun."
Then there is the horse "Silver," ,"
one of the most beautiful and intel
Iigent animals to grace the silver
screen. Buck Jones Arabian stall
lion is alone worth going miles to
see.
Columbia pictures have surround
ed the star with a notable cast.
Marguerite De La Motto plays the
feminine leading role with a charm

one of her typical comedy characters
in her inimitable style. Frank Rice,
AL Smith, Bob Mckenzie and the
former serial star, Ben Wilson all

ducts for human food, the demand
for dairy products should continue
to increase.
There are still thousands of boys
and girls in every large city in the
United States that are not obtain
ing the amount of dairy products
which they should have. With more
educational work to carry the mes
sage of the value of dairy produc-
tion for human food, it should soon
create a demand for replacing the
"boarder" cows that will be elm
mated and by the time that the
present calves are grown to prOduc
tion age they will undoubtedly find
plenty of demand.
Even during the rather low prices
in dairy marketing, the real efficient
SOW in the herd has still made
little profit for the feeder There
will always be a demand for this
efficient type of COW and it would
be absolutely wrong to market the
heifer calves from this type of COW.
We are quite confident that there
Will be a real demand for them by
the time they are grown and ready
for production.
Furthermore, the recent dairy sit
uation should arouse and inspire all
dairy extension agencies toward eX-
erting greater efforts to place be-
fore the public more effectively the
true value of their products from
nutrition standpoint.
With the proper concentration of
efforts and the large consuming
centers, the consumption of dairy
products can still be improved ma
terially over present conditions.

FLEA PRECAUTIONS

If your house is full of fieas, they
are probably presents from your dog
or cat, says the U. S. Department OF
Agriculture. To destroy fieas on pet
animals apply derris powder or wash
them in fairly weak solution OF
saponified creosote or kerosene
emulsion. Keep pet animals out Of
the house. Scatter about 5 pounds
of faxed naphthalene over the floor
or each infested room, keep the room
closed for 12 hours, then sweep up
the naphthalene remaining. Keep
animals and poultry from beneath
buildings (where fieas breed, and
clean up trash, in such places. In
tested areas should be sprayed with
creosote oil and the ground where
young feas are growing should be
covered with salt and wet down well.

Dear NQdIllG.
l can't get over the very fine chow
the Auxiliary handed out at our

ceived that kind during the time you
were in the service it wouldn't have

it.
You know Mrs. Hungerford Won

your shop one day last week but
l was so busy l couldn't stop 10
come in but remember me to him
when he comes over again.
saw Past State Commander En-
mis- and he said he was sorry he
couldn't get to tthe last meeting.
Well that meant a bigger piece OF
cake for you and me.
What was the trouble with Frank
Stogdon? He generally attends Post
meetings and l missed him.
Comrade "Chick Townsend" told
me that the other week he went
down to the island he bought bright
and early to paint his cunning
shack and that the mosquitoes were
so bad he was afraid that they
would pick it up and carry it across
the bay. 1 know they are bad but
1 didn't know they could get that
bad.
Say Charlie what do you think l

she had heard of golf widows but
she thought she was Legion wild
