RURAL CLUBS INTERESTED
in KITCHEN PROBLEMS

The biggest problem before the
farm woman today is to make her
kitchen work easier since over 8O%
Of her time is spent in preparing and
clearing away meals. Miss Louise
r. Whitcomb, Home Demonstration
Agen for Kent County, is discussing
that subject this month with her ex-
tension groups and suggesting var
ious ways of saving steps and time.
The biggest single convenience
in the kitchen she says, is running
water and proper waste disposal.
Good ventilation and good light,
both natural and artificial are two
more important items. And work
ing tables and sink of correct height
and grouped closely together save
many a step and backache. Glass
members have been interested in
drawing diagrams of their own kit
chens to see how better grouping of
equipment might be done.
To encourage these changes for
more convenient workshops a con-
test will be started soon. Any one
is eligible to join whether a club
member or not. All interested should
get in touch at once5 with Miss
Whitcomb at the Post Office Build
ing. The first scoring Of these con-
test kitchens will take place during
the first part of August. Mrs. Helen
Mckinley, State Leader of Home
Demonstration Work, will make the
first scoring and final judging. Con-
test will extend over a period of
three months and awards based on
the amount of improvement made.

ing relieved as adiutant general, ex-
ecutive order, Delaware, 1881.
WILLIAM G. EVERSON,
"Chief, Militia Bureau"
The rank of Adjutant General of
the Delaware National Guard is
equivalent to that of lieutenant-col-
Onel at the War Department. We'll
Ter E. Stover, appointed to the Ad-
jutant General post by Governor
Buck, is recognized as major, by the
War Department by virtue of his
position as United States Property
and Disbursing Officer here. Years
ago he was a lieutenant-colonel.
The appointment of Major StoVer
as adjutant general will not raise
him to the rank of Mathematician
ell at Washington unless he formally
applies for the rank. Any such ac-
ton is being held in allegiance, it is
believed, pending the decision of the
State courts as to his authority to
hold the Office of adjutant general

SYMBOLS OF SUMMER

A happy group of boys and girls
left Milford on Tuesday morning.
They were the boys and girls from
New York City, who had been given
two weeks in the fresh air and sun
shine by people in or near town.
What a success our first experience
was! Almost without exception the
children were reluctant to leave
their new home. And without excep-
tion the children were a happy lot,
coming from families who had Civ
en- them all of the advantages of
home training, if some of the other
things in life were not so numerous.
Thirty children were provided for
this year. Next year it is expected
that that number will be doubled.
The credit for a successful Fresh
Air Town" goes to Mrs. Bayard
Wharton and her committee, who
certainly did all they could to make
pleasant arrangements for the tenn
pOrary parents as well as for the
children.

RECKLESS INCORPORATING
HIT BY NEW STATE LAWS

With outboard motors apparently
turning every known variety of
aquatic craft larger than a water
bug into speed boats, three states
have recently passed laws to check
reckless driving on their waters,
says a bulletin of the American
Game Association. New laws in
Michigan and Pennsylvania author
ize officials to silence, slow down
and otherwise regulate mOtOrboats
as being unnecessarily dangerous to
bathers, obnoxious to waterside res
idents and destructive to valuable
aquatic life and fish spawning beds.
The Indiana legislature forbade the
operation of any lsOtor craft on
lakes smaller than 1876 acres be-
tween April l and June 15-when
fish are spawning-and restricted
the speed to ten miles an hour at
other times.
More than 81, 800, 100000 will be spent
On road building this year.

fidence in the ability of his ma
chimes brakes, headlights, ETC., to
adequately perform in an emergen-
cy. Then, too, many owners are to-
tally unaware of the existence of
faulty equipment. This is due large
ly to the lack of periodic inspections
of cars and to the overlooking of
the fact that the automobile is a po-
tential element of danger in most
highway accidents.
Some officials have expressed con-
siderable fear that many motorists
will not avail themselves of the free
inspection campaign and will later
feel incensed when compelled to
submit their cars for inspection in
accordance with the State law prior
to receiving their registrations for
the ensuing year.

Farm Notes

Dahlia plants produce better
blooms if the early buds which de-
velop during hot weather are re-
moved.
The first few seedlings of crimson
clover on a field make better crops
of seed than are produced after clO-
yer has grown ON the field for sew
eral years. This is probably con-
sequence of the accumulation in the
soil of too much nitrogen which re-
suits from turning under the stub
I BILE or the entire crop. Too much MI
trogen causes an OVergrowth OF
stems and leaves at the expense Of
! the seed crop.
Where a spring seeding of sweet
clover has failed or where sweet
clover is desired as a catch crop, try
! planting in late summer. A Nebraska
farmer has obtained good results
with a novel method of seeding in
small-grain stubble. At harvest time
he hooks a double disk, a grain drill
with sweet clover seed in the grass
seeder attachment, and a smoothing
harrow behind the binder and draws
the whole outfit with a tractor. This
outfit harvests the grain and sOws
the sweet cloVr at one operation.
If the canary does not mott at the
right season CASUALLY late in sum-
mer), the owner can sometimes
cause molting by covering the cage
with dark cloth and putting it in a
warm protected place where the
bird will not be disturbed. The can
ary needs no special care during
molting, though it is well to add egg
food or moistened bread to the ra-
tiOn once or twice a week. A little
sulphur added to the egg food, or
weak saffron tea instead of drinking
water, helps birds that are ailing.
A little linseed in the seed supply
gives a gloss and sheen to the new
feathers.
To obtain good tomato seed, Sc
lect one or more plants which have
a high proportion of good fruits,
taking into account size, smooth
ness, solidity, and freedom from
cracking in the fruit, and Vigor,
productiveness, and freedom from
disease in the plant. The whole seed
crop from a plant with uniformly
good fruit will be better than that
from superlative fruit from a plant
with some uneven or inferior fruits.
Tag the selected plants and let the
fruit remain on them until thor
Oughly ripe but not decayed. Toma-
toes intercrOss only slightly and it
is fairly safe to save seed from more
than one variety in the garden.

SENATOR UNDER
FIRE FOR SCORN
TOWARD NEGRO
Caraway Mistakes a White
Correspondent as Black,
and Causes Storm.

~ United Press
NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-Charges
that Senator Thaddeus H. Caraway
Ark. mistaking correspondent for
Negro, CURLY refused to discuss
with him any criticism of his gov
ernmental drought relief policy were
made here today by friends Of o. O..
Halliburton, an independent oil
operator OF TT. Worth, Tex.
Halliburton, who left here for his
home Wednesday, wrote to Senator
Caraway from TT. Worth on Jan.
81. criticising him for taking a sec
tional viewpoint on drought relief.
He advised the senator that sec
tons Of Texas suffered from drought
nearly every year, but the govern
ment never had given any relief.
Caraway is alleged to have re-
piled to this letter on the station
airy Of the senate Feb. 2. Apparently
mistaking Halliburton for a Negro,
he Is said to have written as fol-
lows:
THE first appeal ever made to
bllS government Tor rellef was mace
from drought sufferers in Texas;
and 1t was white people that made
it. But the rest of you, if they had
gotten it, could have been fed also.
1T is strange that a Negro al
ways finds something to complain
about although his immediate wants
are cared for.
II should be very glad indeed if
YOU would confine your correspond
ence to people of your own race"
HaIliburton's reply, written in New
York Feb. Is, characterized the SEN
ator's letter as "undignified, con-
temptible and insulting" and sug-
gested that Caraway's position is
one OF a public servant without dis
tinction Of race, color or previous
condition of seryitude."
Copies of all the letters, the two
of Halliburton and one of Senator
Caraway, have been sent to each
member Of the senate, it was an
nounced.

Il
Konjola is compounded of 80 In
gradients, % of which are the Juices
of medicinal roots and herbs. AS it
has been said by thousands, Konjola
is both medicine and tonic. The
Konjola Man at the Hook Depend
able drug store, Illinois and Wash
ington streets, Indianapolis, is there
to explain Konjola to you--to tell
you what it is and what it has done
for sufferers everywhere. Head the
statement made to the Konjola
Man by Mrs. Carrie Locxhart, 412O
Center Drive, Indianapolis. She said
II suffered with indigestion for
years. I bloatec after meals and
was subject to spells Of nausea. MY
kidneys were weak and panied me
much of the time. Finally rheu-
matism attacked me and my knees
became so swollen and painful
that the pain was almost unbear-
able. Constipation worried me
greatly.
Friends induced me to try Ken
jola. I soon developed an appetite
and the stomach weakness passed
away. My kidneys became normal
and as time went on the pain and
swelling went out of my limbs and
knees. 1t has been several years
since I took this treatment, but am
still in excellent health. Konjola is
all that is claimed for it and more. -
Konjola IS free from alcohol or
harmful drugs. 1t is all pure med
icine. Demand Konjola and get it.:
don't be switched to a substitute.
The Konjola Man is at the Hook
Dependable drug store, Illinois and
