She walked slowly at first, but
hurried when well away in the dark

to the camp in varying stages of
intoxication. Some Of them stopped
her. but the look, dress and name
Of Mother Enslow gave her ample
protection. One of the men walked
with her to the gate of the Ship
man house. He left her and she was
admitted to the mansion. She told
Mrs. Shipman of her failure. They
went to the secret chamber above
stairs. The girl began to change
her garments. She stood almost
naked, telling of her strange adven-
ture in the British camp. She had

New Designs in
Period Furniture
Conservatism Feature of
Home Furnishings of
the Moment.

Modernistic furniture has taken a
turn towards conservatism in that it
no longer stresses the bizarre, the
ultra, the freakish. 1t clings to it's
name because it is said to be based
on no former type of furniture which
has historic background. Hence it
is modern. 1t certainly has few #
any earmarks of the styles developed
by Chippendale, Hepplewhite. Shera-
ton or former master designers,
whatever their names or from what
ever country they came. The early
modernistic furniture harks back
farther than period styles, recalling
the angular lines of primitive furni-
ture experiments.
In its present output it emphasizes
choice and rare woods which reflect
the beauty of former furniture max
ers, while in its designs are retained
it's untraditional and original style in
accord with its origin. This modified
modernistic furniture will appeal to
homemakers rather than startle and
estrange their thoughts from it.
Perhaps the most interesting fea-
ture of the modified modernistic fur
niture is the use of exquisite woods.
In the veneers the angular cutting
will not be so favored as those which
give more flowing lines. In the ear
lier furniture of this type, the quar-
tered veneers which could be fitted
into square alignments best suited
the severity Of outlines Of pieces.
With the subduing of the severity,
the more graceful graining of veneers
Is favored. 1t is not always appreci-
ated by home decorators that We
neers are of the finest parts of the
various woods used. Costly and rare
woods can be introduced without
making furniture so expensive that 1t
is available to only wealthy persons.
It Is not so much for this reason,
which appeals strongly to most of
MS, however. but because of the ex-
quislteness of the graining in woods,
cut as they are for veneering, that
veneered furniture has such rare
beauty of woods. The new type Of
modern furniture will make good
use of woods whether m solid pieces
or in veneers. Charm of wood in
many colors and kinds lends attrac-
tion to new pieces Natural finishes
will be accented, and the soft tones
of dull varnishes, and a refraining
from stains in finishes.
It is seldom in its most pronounced
forms that styles are held in high
est esteem, but rather when they
have a certain illusiveness in which
the articles are reminiscent of beau
ty In preceding models. This is true
of fashions in general. whether they
pertain to frocks or furniture. 1t Is
exemplified in the latest development
Of modernistic furniture. which
blends some of the fine character
istics Of previous periods with It's
own definite style.

Mother Enslow" She was said 10
be a distant relative Of one Of the
American brigadiers, whose influ-
ence had, no doubt, helped her in
the beginning Of her odd enterprise.
She answered every challenge with
her own countersign. 1t was MY
boy. God bless youl" II was sincere
and had become sufficient on both
lines. At first the British took her
to the guard-house. where she was
searched. Later, all suspicion of
any motive, save that of earning a
few shillings, passed and they well
coined her, glad to have her apples
and her blessing.
The girl and Mrs. Shipman went
above stairs with Mother Enslow.
Pat began her negotiations with an
offer of ten pounds to the old wom-
an for her costume and advice. II
was large sum to this poor lonely
creature. but she would not accept
it until the girl had frankly given
her motive for wishing to pass the
lines.
That's honest" said the old
army mother. Love is a caution.

said Mrs. Shipman.
II would have been difficult to
distinguish Pat from the apple
woman when she walked with her
friend to the fish market where
Mother Enslow bought her supplies.
There the girl personated the ap-
pie woman so successfully that her
manner. voice and makeup excited
no suspicion In Mr.. Snoach or his
helpers. Mrs. Shipman laid their
plan before him In a whispered
conference.

Use Sanitary Practice
to Reduce Chick Loss

Poultrymen who put health first
last year in the growing of their
pullets suffered less than Z per cent
loss OF chicks.
d. c. Henderson. poultry exten-
sion specialist of the Pennsylvania
State college, says that 707 coop
orators with the agricultural exten.
sion service In the state last year
reported the growing of 426,542
chicks. The average loss OF chicks
reported was 10.4 per cent, but
poultrymen who used all the sani-
tary practices recommended by the
extension poultry specialists had a
loss of only 6.94 per cent.
The Ave recommended practices
included quality chicks from Wig
orous stock, early Matching, clean
brooder houses, clean feeders and
clean grounds.
Since this plan of growing chicks
was started in the state there has
been a consistent decrease in chick
losses. In 1929 the average loss
among co-operators was Is per
cent, but those who used all the
clean practices lost only 10 per
cent. In 1880 the average loss was
1872 per cent, and those who used
all the sanitary practices lost only
SA per cent. In 1881 the average
was slightly over 10 per cent. and
the loss for those using all the
clean practices was less than Z per
cent.

A Productive Hen

A single comb Rhode Island Red
hen, owned by the North Dakota
Agricultural college, laid 542 eggs
in two years, according to o. A.
Barton. head of the poultry depart
ment. The eggs from this hen sold
for a total of S9.74.
In the records kept, 1t was found
that this hen consumed 200 pounds
of feed at a cost Of $40. leaving a
balance of S7.34 in two years. The
$7.34 is the amount which was re-
ceived for overhead cost and Tabor
income.
Eggs produced by this hen had a
total weight of about 65 pounds, or
more than ten times her body
weight. She produced her eggs on
an average of slightly over four
pounds of feed per dozen, and at a
feed cost of approximately cents
per dozen.-Wallace's Farmer.

BACKYARD FLOCKS
REDUCE FOOD COST
Table Scraps May Be Used
to Feed Poultry.
BY c. F. Parrish. Poultry Extension
Specialist. North Carolina State
College-WNU Service.

Specialist. North Carolina State
College.-WNU Service.
The backyard poultry growing
industry has always been an i'm
portant factor in poultry growing,
and should be expanded during the
present period.
AS a reason for this suggestion,
backyard poultry keeping is affect
ed less by changing economic con-
ditions than any other productive
enterprise. In times of high prices,
great numbers of persons keep
fowls as a means of reducing the
cost of living. In times Of depres-
sion. the backyard flock may play
an important part In the struggle
TO keep going on a reduced income.
Then, too. fowls are most adapt
able and may be kept successfully
under a wide range Of conditions.
1t Is true, when the range Is re-
stricted and methods are intensi-
fed. the feed and labor cost for
each bird is increased. This may
not be a handicap since our eXpe-
rience has shown US that when
farmers produce eggs and poultry
at lowest cost. they do not neces-
sarily make the largest net profit
either on the birds or the labor
used. 1t is cheaper possibly to buy
feed than to buy eggs and chickens,
and much of the table scraps or
surplus green vegetables may be
used to advantage with the back
yard flock.
In keeping poultry in the back
yard. however, houses should be
well ventilated, but not open to
winds and rain. Good dropping
boards, clean nests, plenty of fresh
water in clean containers, and cur
tains for protecting the birds dur
ing bad weather are necessary.
While the houses should have open
fronts, the birds must have ade-
quate protection during cold, rainy
weather.

POULTRY NOTES

Tuberculin testing of poultry is
valuable and accurate for diagnos-
ing tuberculosis.
Plenty Of sunlight and fresh air
In the poultry houses greatly re-
duces disease troubles.
New Zealand expects to export
100000 eggs to Britain this year,
about twice the quantity exported
In 1892.
Eggs supply iron and vitamins In
the dietary, as well as other needed
elements. An egg day is food in
surance.
1t Is no longer considered neces-
sary to wait until the chicks are
foYty-eight hours old before feed
ing them. Chicks are now fed as
soon as they care TO eat.

in S. c. June 1918
Adult Leadership Necessary to
Make Success Importance War
rantS-Kids Anxious

Through the courtesy of Capt.
Scott, chairman of the Sank Valley
District, the National Guard Rifle
Range at Fairy Lake has been OPP
ened to all Scouts in the Sank Val
ley and headquarters districts, (the
latter includes st. Cloud for q
three day pioneer type of camp
Friday, Saturday and Sunday
June 16, II and Is. This will be e
wonderful opportunity for all local
Scouts and Scouters to have a real
outing. It is expected that all
Scouts will want to attend but
troops or patrols will not be al.
lowed to do so without their own
adequate adult leadership, which
means that Scoutmasters and
Scouters will be called upon to help
out. In case a Scoutmaster is UNI
able to attend, some or all of his
Troop committee will fill the bill
acceptably. Several local Scouters
have already announced their inten-
tions of taking in this event but
there will not be too many adults
attending if all the local Scouters
decide to go.
Following is the program sent out
from Scout headquarters at st.
Cloud:
The big camporee that all of
your Scouts have been waiting for
is to be held at the National Guard
Rifle Range a short three miles
out of Sank Centre. A beautiful
location-lots of room - woods
water, etc. An ideal place for a
camp. Ask at the Sank Centre post
office where location is. Get di-
rections there. Good roads.
1t is a three day pioneer type of
Camp for Friday, Saturday, and
Sunday, June 16, II, Is.
There is no charge or extra ex-
pense for participating in this
event.
Troops or Patrols under their
own adequate adult leadership,
bring their own food, cooking equip
ment, tents, beds, etc. Any kind of
a tent will do for this camp. Bor-
row one Cor some. in your commun-
ity for this occasion. Even a tar
paulin or a piece of canvas will serve
the purpose. Certainly Scout homes
can furnish the necessary cooking
equipment. Work out good camp
menu for the length of your stay
Give Scouts a chance to practice
some real camp cookery. Scouts
can "chip in" and buy food, or
bring it from home.
