POOR WEATHER MAN

OF all the people hard hit by the
abnormal times the weather man.
has perhaps suffered most and re-
ceived the least sympathy. To get an
idea of his pitiable plight just imag-
inc juggler trying to "do his stuff"
before a keyed-up and expectant au-
dience-and having everything go
wrong. He reaches in his hat for a
white rabbit and brings out only a
wisp of excelsior; an ace of dia-
monds is called for and with great
embarrassment he produces the two
of spades; he gracefully lifts the
cloth to display a bowl of goldfish
and reveals a pink mouse. Calling
the weather is hard enough in nor
NAL times, and the percentage of
hits is relatively small. But when
winter brings warm weather to Du
luth and cold spell to st. Angus
tine; rains in Death Valley and a
drought everywhere else; snow IN
Biloxi and peach blooms at Boston
what can a prognosticatOr do?
And the worst of it is that when a
fellow is having his worst troubles
he is watched more closely than
ever.-The Pathfinder.

THE FLY NUISANCE

The fly problem i'll dairies is Sc
riOus. Flies annoy the cattle and
are likely to contaminate the milk
with disease or filth. Clean prem
ises are essential-but cleanliness
is not enough. The manure in which
the flies breed should be removed
twice a week and scattered thin to
destroy the immature flies. Or pile
the manure in a compact rick and
treat the surface with solution of
pound of borax in 2 gallons of wa
ter. Flytraps help-the conical trap
described in Farmers Bulletin 734-F
is most effective. Blackstrap mo-
lasses diluted with three parts of
water makes a satisfactory bait.
Milk is good-or rotting bananas.
Place traps outside the doors of
dairy buildings where flies are thick
est. Sprays are also helpful, but
sprays alone will not control the
nuisance. One pound of fresh pyre-
thrum flowers soaked for 4S hours
or longer in a gallon of kerosene and
strained through Cheesecloth makes
a good spray which kills both house
flies and horn flies. Pyrethrum is
used in some proprietary sprays,
which may prove fairly economical
for limited spraying. Or, buy con-
centrated pyrethrum extract to mix
with kerosene. Screen the milk
room carefully. Large dairies and
often have screened YES
tibules. Other flies which annoy
livestock are reduced in numbers by
manure disposal and spraying.

b his great financial policy.

all his great financial policy.
1t has been said that Hamilton
was a financial genius, a mental
wiard-that everything that Hamil-
ton touched lived. He touched the
corpse of the national credit. It
sprang into life. Here again, how
ever, he was bitterly opposed by
Thomas Jefferson, for Jefferson
could find no provision in the Con-
stitution for a national bank. And
Jefferson did not believe in theory
of implied power. However, when
he later became President of the
United States and had the oppor-
tunity of annexing the great Louisi-
ana Territory, he changed his policy
for the benefit of the country"
The audience was composed of
those fortunate enough to get awards
of seats from applications which
were said by Randolph Leigh, man
ager of the competition, to have to-
tailed more than II, 900. 1t has been
noted that growing interest is mani
tested each year in these contests,
which are preliminary to an interna-
tional one to be held in the Fall.
That contest, too, will be held in
Washington this year. The one to-
night was the eighth national ora
torical contest.

BIG INSURANCE POLICIES

Life is real! Life is earnest! and
the grave is not its goal! Neverthe-
less the world and his wife are buy
ing insurance. When the Equitable
Life Assurance Society released
their 1880 statement disclosing in
surance in force of over seven bill
lion dollars, and new insurance for
the year of $975,444,397 people be-
gan rubbing their eyes. If this re-
port of one company was augmented
by that of the 319 other old line
companies, Why Well How My
Goodness! It just couldn't be. But it
could be, prOdious, stupendOus and
plenty, with combined assets a half
time larger than the World War
debts owed us by our 20 foreign
debtors. OF our citizens:

EVERGREEN MEETS
NEXT WEDNESDAY

Evergreen Forest No. 40, Tall
Cedars, of lebanon, will meet on
next Wednesday, the 10th, in their
regular June Ceremonial. AS usual
this meeting is dedicated as a me-
mortal to the late Warren G. Hard

The two uniformed units of the
Forest will be presented as they ap-

IRON CLAD ROMANCE

There is a world of romance in
the ordinary things about lis TO
which most of us remain ObliViOus
throughout our lives. Who, for ex-
ample, would suspect it in so COM
mon a product as cast iron pipe =!
Yet it is there in abOunding mea-
sure.
Cast iron pipe brings us that
priceless boOn-water. And it brings
us gas to cook our food and heat
our homes. On account of it un-
canny resistance to rust and dis
integration no better medium has
ever been discovered for transport
ing gas and for bringing water from
its source to our kitchens and bath
rooms and garden hose. 1t does its
work silently and perfectly while
generations of mankind live their
little lives above it and pass on. 1t
Outlasts us by centuries.
Back 267 years ago a French en-
gineer, at kingly command, built
luxurious fountains in the Gardens
of Versailles. To. carry the water
for their enchanting spryas he used
cast iron pipe which now, two and
4 hall centuries later, is still serv-
ing its royal purpose.
In 1901, the city of fathers of
Philadelphia began a fifteen year
study of water supply methods and
materials. AS result they adopted
cast iron pipe and tried it out. The
Quaker City's pipe has been quench-
ing thirsts and bringing cleanliness
now for ITO years. ~.
All over America, in hundreds of
cities, ancient cast iron pipe is car
rying its liquid and gaseous burdens
as efficiently and uncomplainingly
as on the day it was laid, despite the
terrific road shocks of motor trucks
and street railways,
ChattanoOga's cast iron pipe, still
began its useful career dur
ing the agonies of the Civil War in
1868. Some of Richmond's mains are
101 years old. Exactly the same is
true in St. Louis. The utility and
of cast iron pipe mains
are proved by the lengths of time
some of the present installations
have served their communities

THE NASSAU HOME
DEMONSTRATION CLUB

Those who bemoan the passing
of the American home should have
been with the Nassau Home Demon
stration Club at Georgetown ON
Thursday. 1t was there proved be-
yond a per adventure that there is
no lack of home interest in this
meek of the woods"
In spite of a down-pour of rain,
large percentage of the member
ship and many guests assembled at
the Dorman house to see and to
learn ways and means of making
their own homes more attractive.
From graded color scheme of floors,
walls, and ceilings, with harmonic
ing draperies and furniture, to
table linen and kitchen equipment,
no details escaped scrutiny and ap-
probation.
After brief business meeting,
Miss Dodd put on the club program.
Household commodities were ingen-
uously arranged on a table to rep
resent flowers. A time limit, set
upon the guessing of what they pic
tured, called for snappy decisions.

prize in the contest. The club then
adjourned for tour of inspection
of the house. When the members
had again assembled in the big liv-
ing room, Miss Owens, in an in
formal talk, gave a broad outline of
their whole household scheme and
their method of budgeting.
Refreshments were served by the
hostesses of the club. A happy So
cial hour preceded the final ad-
journment.
Who shall say how much of Miss
Gardner, the decorator of the Dor
man house, may not be found in fu-
ture years in the homes of Sussex
county. Truly the club is grateful
to her and to Miss Owens for the
inspiration and hospitality of a
choice day.

A vessel lay becalmed in CLASSY
sea. Not a breath of air filled the
sails. The crew, waiting and watch
ing, all at once noticed that little
pennant far up on the masthead be-
gan to stir and lift. There was not a
ripple over theglassy sea-not the
faintest movement on the deck, But
when they saw the pennant moving
they knew there was a rising wind.
The upper sails were quickly spread
to catch it. Instantly the vessel, un-
der the power of the higher cur
rents, began to move. So it is in the
realm of life. There are the higher
and the lower currents. Too many of
us set our sails to catch only the
breezes along the lower level. There
are strong winds that blow down
from the hills. 1t would be an un-
speakable gain to us if we could al
ways bring our lives under the
magic spell of the upper currents.

EAT PLENTY OF BREAD

So much has been said about the
value of whole wheat bread, some OF
it correct and some exaggerated
that it has been OVerdone by the eX-
tremists and the pendulum is swing
ing back again to wiser variety in
bread, according to Doctor r. f.
Lee, research director of Standard
Brands Incorporated, in a talk be-
fore Canadian bakers.
Periodically" says Doctor Lee,
1.-The agitation for whole wheat bread
breaks out like an epidemic, runs its
course and dies out. No one can
justly attack bread, be it white or
brown. Both have a place in the
diet. Flour is one of the most COM
pletely digestible foods we have. All
varieties of bread are good, but one
would not think so after reading the
articles of those who advocate the
use of only whole wheat bread.
"a diet including too much coarse
bread so stimulates the intestinal
muscles that food materials are not
as completely absorbed as when
they pass through the alimentary
tract at a normal rate. This is why
whole wheat bread is always in
cluded in reducing diets.
Much that is written about white
flour is carelessly applied to white
bread, forgetting that white bread
as made today is a highly supple
mented food, containing salt, fat,
milk, yeast and usually malt ex-
tract.
white bread should have as
prominent place in the diet as any
other, but no single variety of
bread should be exclusively eaten.
The value of variety of breads is
unquestioned. Variety of breads not
only supplies a variety of ingredi-
ents so helpful in supporting main
tenance in normal growth. but it
the appetite. A tired ap-
petite will often result from an un-
balanced diet. Refresh it with va
riety and see it respond!
Everyone should eat plenty of
bread, for it is a splendid aid to the
body, but we should be careful not
to dull our appetite with sameness.
We should discover new delicacies
in the variety of breads in the bake
shop just around the corner"

annual recital of Miss Maria Cau-
sey's piano class on Wednesday eve
ming at the New Century Club. They
were parents and friends of the

1t was evident that each pupil had
been given careful attention in pos
ture and technique, and each num-
Der was so well done as to cause
much applause. From the youngest
member, in point of lessons, to the
more advanced scholars, each one
brought praise to herself and to her
teacher. From the number taking
part, certainly the playing of a piano
will not be a lost art in Milford for
another generation. The program
follows:

FIRE ON THE FARM

During 1880 farmers suffered one
of the greatest fire losses in agricul-
tural history-a total of about $685.
100000, according to the National
Fire Waste Council, as compared
with an average of $100,OO0,0O in
normal" years.
This unusually heavy fire loss was
attributed largely to the drought,
which increased the common farm
hazards such as highly combustible
buildings, isolation from the protec-
tion of adequately equipped fire COM
panies, and general lack of fire
quenching facilities.
Even so, the annual farm fire loss
cannot be justified. Numerous stud
les have been completed and others
are being made OH how to reduce
the waste. Many authoritative book
lets, dealing with every phase of the
agricultural fire problem, are avail
able. The barrier in the way of pre-
vention, of course, is the same on
farms as in cities-the refusal of the
individual to learn the fundamentals
of fire prevention, and his careless
ness in permitting unnecessary haz-
ards to go uncorrected.
1t cannot be questioned that the
annual fire waste has done much to
prevent farm prosperity. Even if
all property were covered by insur-
ance-which it is not-no policy can
compensate for destroyed buildings
and crops, wasted time, devastated
land. Every farmer should take
steps to make his property as fire
proof" as is humanity possible.
