Yard Lights Convenient
When Cold Winds Blow

When cold winds blow and fire.
quent night trips are necessary to
visit the brooder house, farrOwing
or lambing pens, yard lights with
flexible methods of switch control
are greatly appreciated. These are
available to the man with the farm
light plant as we'll as those who re-
ceive electric power from high
lines. Dome refectors may be
mounted on poles or the yards may
be lit from lamps in angle refec.
tors conveniently placed on farm
buildings. These should be wired
with three-way or four-way
switches installed at central posi-
tiOnS.

Buy Good Land

1t pays to buy good land. The
percentage of foreclosures is seven
times as great on farms with till
able land valued at less than $50
an acre as it is on farms with TILED
land valued at $195 or more an
acre. This does not mean that the
way to avoid foreclosures is to
place a high value on your farm.
But it does mean that poor land
tends to be overvalued in relation
to what it will produce. 1t is cheap
er to buy fertility in the form of
good soil than to buy it in bags.

clined to make public indicated
today that the plight of the Polar
submarine Nautilus, off the Irish
coast, while not considered dan
gerous, is far from a comfortable
one.
These adViceS, relating of
rough weather being experienced,
led submarine officers here to be-
IieVe that the wilkins submarine
is "WallOwing" in a sea that is
extremely rough with her engines
stopped and the battleShip WyO-
ming standing by 27O miles from
Queenstown.
The Nautilus was making no

Lady Patricia Ross. Kentucky
beauty who startled Washington
recently when she filed mainte-
nance suit in District Supreme
Court against Sir Charles Ross,
Scottish baronet and inventor of
the Ross rifle, today dismissed
her suit.
The order dimissing the suit
provides for the release of Sir
Charles from the writ on which
he was arrested at the time of the
filing and the discharge of the
100000 bond he posted to insure
his presence here for the suit.
Although the order merely
states that the couple have settled
their differences, it is reported
that the adjustment came through
payment of large sum of money
to Lady Patricia. whose domestic
litigation with her husband has
been in the courts of England,
Mexico, and the United States.

G.N.SO.-Contrary to the ver-
sion given out by Fascist authori-
ties, church and state in Italy
are far from an agreement in
the controversy caused by dis
solution of Catholic youth organi-
cations, Pope Plus XI declared
today. His Holiness declared:
eve are not on the way
to agreement and negotiations
have not yet begun"
The Pope's remarks were
made in addressing several hun
dred members of the congrega-
ton for the propaganda of the
faith at the Vatican.
The Pope's address contained
a bitter condemnation of what
he termed persecution" with re-
gard to Catholic activities in
Italy. He added:
"It seems that prosecutions
are not confined to Mexico and
BOlShevist countries.
'Tt is stated that persecution
here is not directed against the
church.
But it is directed against
the most tender part of our
heart"

OF ETIQUETTE

Question: Should the hostess be
served first?
Answer: This custom originated in
order to prove to the guests that all
food was safe for them to eat. To-
day. il followed. it enables the hos
tess TO test the cooks preparations
ard to correct any mistakes that
may be made in serving.
In foreign countries. where there
are differences in rank, the person
with the highest title is served first
Question: What is meant by the
words Russian" English or
mixed" service?
Answer: These expressions are no
longer in vogue since all modern
dinners are served in the same way
Food is brought in from the pantry
ready for each guest to serve him
self as it is passed. This is what
used to be called the Russian ses~-
ice. English and American services
used to be served with the main
dishes carved and distributed from
the table A so-called mixed sery-

Toast Wins Sciences o. X.
Toast, that breedstuff which is
so popular nowadays from break
fast to midnight lunch. has come
under the experimenter's eye and
some Worthwhile information is
available about it.
We have known for some time
that the heat of toasting acts on
the starch in the bread, changing
ii to sugar or "dextrinizing" it.
and thereby shortening the time
required for body digestion. How
ever. the question recently has
been whether the effect of the
toasting heat might not be so
harmful to the protein content OF
the bread that the good effect en-
the starch might be counteracted.
Tests have shown that the pro-
tein of toasted bread is as COM
pletely digested as the protein OF
