This is the fourth Of series Of arti-
cIes on preparation Of the home for
winter.
By NEA Serrice
WASHINGTON, Sept 30.-After
the house and heating unit has
been inspected and prepared for
cold weather, there are many little
things that can be done around
the house that will save much time
and effort of the tenant when VIM
ter sets in.
Water pipes during severe winters
present a source of trouble that is
both costly and difficult to repair
An ounce of prevention now will be
worth a pound of cure when freez-
ing weather causes poorly protected
pipes to burst.
Vincent B. Phelan of the United
States departme-+ commerce
gives tie Iouowing method of pro-
tecting pipes against freezing.
Water pipes which are exposed
to freezing temperatures should be
covered in some manner, especially
those located out of doors or in
unheated spaces, as under porches
or in outbuildings.
For pipes located in unheated
areas it is we'll to use a commercial
covering made of layer of hair
felt and a layer of wool felt. This
generally comes in lengths of three
feet, split OH one side to slip around
pipes, and is fastened by means of
metal bands. Il exposed to weather
it should be made waterproof.
Home made coverings can be
made by wrapping the pipes first
with tar paper and then with felt,
held in place by jacket of canvas
fastened by paste or wires and
painted with waterproof paint.
Another covering is made by
wrapping the pipe with old cloth,
then with layers of newspaper, and

frantically to hit upon some plan
which will extricate him from his
difficulty.
Loyal to Mayor Reginald H. Sulli-
van and Walter Myers, Speaker of
the 1881 house of representatives,
the Democratic leader does not
know which way to turn.
Sullivan openly has announced
that he again will support Frank
Daley for the nomination for
Governor.
The mayor feels that it is his duty
to do this, not only because Daley
is his friend, but also because the
1928 nominee is a member of his
board of public safety.
True to his resolution not to at
tempt to influence or direct the DO
litical activities of city hall en-
ployes, Sullivan will not issue any
orders as to how they should vote
in the 1882 convention.
But as the word becomes spread
about that he is for Daley, it is
only natural that the city stats will
take an attitude favorable to the
candidate.
Kenworthy will feel utterly obi
gated to support Daley because of
the favorable position he hold at
the city hall.
He has, however, been out over
the state attempting to build up
sentiment for Myers for United
States senator.
His espousal of the Speakers cause
has been perfervid and he is strain
ing every effort in that direction.
Yet he knows well that the con-
vention will not select both the
nominees for senator and Governor
from Marion county. That such a
thing ever could occur is beyond
the boundaries of political posi-
bility.
Under the rules, the senator is
nominated first. Should Kenworthv
throw all his city hall support to
Myers and should he be nominated
and Daley, as result of this. de-
teated, the Ninth ward chairman
would lose all his standing at the
city hall and be branded traitor to
the man who has raised him to an
important position in Marion county
politics.
What IS it going to be, Hendricks
the lady or the tiger?

finishing with strips Of burlap. This
should be four or five inches thick. !"
If pipes do freeze, the proper way
to thaw them out is to apply di-
rect flame to the pipe, working to-
ward the supply end of the pipe
and keeping the faucet. open to
know when the flow starts.
The direct flame can be applied
with a gasoline blowtorch or a light
ed candle.
If neither Of these is available
because of inflammable surround
ings, cloths can be wrapped around
the pipes and boiling water poured
over them, although this does not
work as fast as the direct flame.

FELTON,

This community was shocked on
Wednesday, December %, to learn
of the sudden death of Henry Wise
which occurred through an accident
when he and Norman Connolly were
on their way to Wilkes-Barre, Pa,
with truck loaded with sweet po-
tatoes. When they were about two
miles from Wilkes-Barre the truck
! skidded and struck an abutment,
causing the truck to Overturn and
fall about 35 feet down an embank-
ment, pinning Mr.. Wise under thl9
steering wheel and before help
could be reached he was dead. Mr..
Connolly was hurt and was taken to
hospital and is getting along as
well as can be expected. Mr.. Wise's
remains were brought to FELTON, and
taken in charge by an undertaken.
Mr.. Wise was we'll known here; he
had lived in FELTON, several years
where he bought and operated the
basket factory. He was a good man
and well liked by everybody, and al
ways had kind word for all those
who he CHANGED to meet. He was a
kind and devoted husband and fa-
ther and will be greatly missed in
his home where he was so much
needed. He was 81 years of age and
leaves a widow one son, Jay Wise;
three daughters, Mrs. Spencer
Moore, Mrs. Francis Connolly and
Mrs. Jessie Springer. His funeral
services were held on Saturday. A
short service was held at his home
on East Main street and a service
was held at Denton where the inter
ment was made.
We are being visited by the cold
est weather we have yet had which
has made it feel like real winter
weather.
The many friends here of Mrs.
Frank Dill were sorry to learn of
her death. She was well known
here as they resided here several
years ago on High street and had
gained a large circle of warm
friends. They have resided in Will
mington for the past few years, but
her many friends here remembered
her. She was good woman and al
ways had kind word for all, she
had very sunny disposition which
will long be remembered. They had
been with their daughter at Viola
this year as Mrs. Dill was in poor
health, but she did not regain her
health, daily becoming worse. Her
passing away has left a number of
her loving friends here quite sad.
Her funeral services were held on
at Viola. She leaves a hus-
band and four daughters and ten
sons to mourn their sad loss.
Francis Connolly who has been in !
the Milford Hospital where he un-
derwent an operation for appendi-
citis, has returned to his home and
is getting along nicely.
Norman Connolly who was in a
hospital at Wilkes-BarTe, Pa, due to
an accident, has returned to his
home, and is getting along as we'll
as can be expected.

PLANTS SHOULD BE MOVED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH LAW

Ignorance of the plant-quarantine
laws enforced by State and Federal
officials is no excuse for violating
such laws. Persons who wish to
move plants from one locality to
another should first learn if such
movement is in accordance with
laws enacted and enforced to pre-
vent the spread of plant pests and
diseases. Such information can al
ways be obtained from State agri-
cultural departments or the United
States Department of Agriculture.
In assessing fines aggregating
$500 against six defendants who had

anese beetle quarantine, in trans

United States District Judge G. M.
Borquin sitting at Trenton, N. j.,
refused to permit ignorance of the
law to be admitted as plea.
I'VE are all presumed to know
that law, even the Judge. It's all
right for the beetles to walk on the
highways by themselves, but you
can't give them a lift" Judge Bor-
quin remarked, addressing the de-
PENDANTS at the time the fines were
announced.
Most efforts to evade plant-pest
quarantines are made by persons ig-
norant or Indifferent in respect to
the industries protected by the reg
ulations, department officials say. In
other instances, smuggling is under
taken for definite monetary gain.
