! MilIWOOd viii Have One OF Tht
Four Canning Demonstrations Civ
] en- In Kent County on May
The wise mother has come to real
ize as never before the importance
of having a generous supply of can
ned meats and vegetables in order
to give the family more varied and
healthful diet next winter. Due tC
the planning of the Home Demon
stratiOn Agent, Miss Louise Whit
combe, Kent County is having four
canning demonstrations and one of
them is to be held at MillwOOd Com
munity Hall on the afternoon of
Wednesday, May 6.
These meetings are not for club
members alone, but for everyone
and it is hoped that the housewives
in and around Milford will feel this
of such importance in helping them
with regulating the family meals
that the meeting will he largely at
tended. The State nutrition special
ist Miss Mcdonald will demonstrate
the steam pressure cooker for the
canning Of meats and nOn-acid veg
etables and explain how it may save
time, labor and fuel. The Extension
Clubs of Millwood have had a very
busy month in April. The Home
Demonstration group met on April
l. 1t was very stormy day, but
Miss WhitcOmbe was there and DEM
Onstrated the making and baking of
three hot supper dishes and they
were greatly enjoyed by the few
members who braved the stormy
weather. Stella Warmers group of
Ever-Readys met at the home of
Mrs. Cubbage with Ann Keller, Miss
COmStock, and number of visitors
present. After the program of the
evening was concluded they were in
vited to a beautifully decorated ta-
BILE in the dining room where re-
freshments were served.
The Calf. Club boys celebrated
their third anniversary in the COM
building on the evening of
April 6. In spite of very stormy
evening the room was filled. A
splendid program was given and the |
boys were congratulated on the pro-
sress they have made since they
we're organized.
The interest in All Club work is
becoming more manifest at each
Meeting.
The Calf Club of boys and the
Sewing Club of girls have each
beautiful quilt that they are selling
hances for in order to raise funds
or paying for scholarships to the
Short Course at Newark in June.
Both clubs will greatly appreciate
Inquiries about their quilts.

4-HGUBN NOTES

The DagsbOrO All Clubs met Mon.
day afternoon at 200 o'clock. Al
the business meeting, held by the
girls, they finished selecting the
east to take part in several plays
the proceeds from which are to be
used to send delegates to the State
Short Course.
The boys had arranged an excel
lent program for their meeting. 1t
consisted of a very good talk on
raising white potatoes, a humorous
reading, and several musical selec-
tions. which were unusually well
rendered.
A joint meeting of the Girls and
the Boys Clubs of the Bridgeville
community met Wednesday evening
TO complete plans for q banquet to
beEheld Friday evening. April gath.
III As5Snquet will be held in the Cen
tury Club Building, and from the
reports made by the chairman by the
various committees, it will be a
highly enjoyable occasion.
fThe girls and boys of the Green
wood Community held their annual
supper Saturday evening. This sup
per was planned by the girls and
boys. and carried out by them. with
very little outside assistance.
Florence Hollis, chairman of the
Girls Committee. assisted by Mar
garet Lynch, Virginia Coulter, Flea
nor WTOten and Pearl Outten did a
very fine piece of work, and display
ed administrative ability that is very
unusual in girls still in high school.
These girls are all students of home
economics in the Greenwood High
School, and a large part of their eff
ficiency is undoubtedly due to the
training that they have received
there.
Members of both the girls and the
boys clubs contributed literally to /
the supper, and the interest display
cd by some of the parents and the
assistance that they rendered was
truly inspiring. The proceeds of the
supper will be used to defray the
expenses of delegates to the State
Short Course in June.
The fourteenth meeting of the
boys (FrankfOrd) All Club was
called to order at $40 on Monday
afternoon by President Steve Carey. /

IT WON'T GET Us INTO WAR

A lot of people want to have COM
pulsory military training abolished
in our state schools. The American
Legion boys who saw the serious ef-
fects of lack of training in wartime,
think compulsory training in the
colleges is a good thing. They know
something about the matter, of ad-
iusting a gas mask or digging in to
protect themselves. Compulsory
training in our colleges isn't going
to get us into war.-Allison Tribune.

AUCTION BIDDING:


Rubber game, no score. z dealt and
bid one heart. A bid one spade. y bid
four hearts and D bid four spades.
What should z now bid2
Solution: z should bid five hearts.
The fact that his partner bid four
hearts over one spade shows unusual
assistance in that suit, so z should not
show the club suit. Holding two suits,
one of which has been bid and assisted
by partner, don't show the other suit.
A two-suited hand is the strongest that
can be held and, if you inform oppo-
nents that you hold such hand by
bidding both suits, they will make
every effort to save game by over
bidding. In the present case, Y Z will
probably be allowed to play a FIVE
heart bid, which they should make
easily, but, if z should bid FIVE clubs,
A B will sense the danger of losing
game and rubber and will undoubtedly
bid five spades. 1t is an instructive
hand and well worthy Of closest study.
The bidding at Contract should be the
same.

Should Z pass or bid FIVE hearts?
Solution: z should bid FIVE hearts.
The rubber game is at stake, and there
isno certainty that the four-spade bid
can be defeated. Even if FIVE hearts
cannot be made, it is good insurance
to try toprevent A B from making four

nine of spades, A should win with the
queen and return the six, which Z wins
with the king. Z should then lead the
seven of hearts and A can win only the
ace. Played perfectly on both sides

LYNCH IS ACCIDENTALLY
KILLED AT SCHOOL HOUSE TUESD'Y

William Lynch, As, pioneer.
homesteader and plumber of Plen-
tywood, was killed at the new
school house in this city Tuesday,
morning, November 8. about ii
o'clock.
He was not employed o. the
new building but had been doing
some plumbing work for the school
board on the old structures.
At the time of the accident
Lynch, together with several 9th
ers, was looking over the con-
struction work and started to
leave the building to talk with the
man who has the contract for the
plumbing. He climbed over the
rail around the hole leading to the
boiler room onto a plank that led
to window. He walked across
the plank and as he stopped to
go through the window his head
struck on the end of a plank pro-
truding from the window and was
thrown off his balance and, back
ward, falling to the bottom of the
boiler room, a distance of about
Is feet, striking his head on the
concrete floor, crushing his skull
and breaking his neck.
! Orville Johnson, who was work
ing just above the window where
the accident occurred was just go
ing to warn Lynch of the protrud-
ing plank when the latter struck
his head and fell backward to his
death. Johnson saw the unfortu-
nate man hurtle thru the air and
crumple in a heap on the floor
pause momentarily, then writhe a.
round to nearly the opposite direc-
ton to which he first had fall
en-, then remain still. johnson
called for help and then rushed tC
the boiler room calling for as
sistance as he went. He boosted
the unconscious and bleeding mar
: to his shoulder and with some as
sistance from other workmen car
ried Lynch to the ground level ant
put him in Ole Hippe's waiting
automobile which rushed him tt
the hospital where it was founC
life was extinct.
William Lynch was. born De
cember &c, 1886 at Graceville
MINI. He came to this section
about 20 years ago and home
! steaded south of Plentywood afte
! which he worked around town a
! different jobs and at his trade
! that of plumber.
Deceased is survived by one sis
: ter, Katie, of Plentywood an

In one school in a working class

The dog poisoner resumed ac-

vacation of several months and
several dogs have been relieved of
the necessity of spending the whit

other substantial citizen affirms
there will be two legged dog
taking passage across the Styx if
his canine is killed. This party is

that the culprit will not fare so
