Mcdonald To Be Feted
President M. G. Gibbs, OF the
Peoples Drug Stores, is tossing a
jamboree at the MayfloWer 1tal-
ian Garden next Thursday night
in honor of Arch Mcdonald, the
general radio announcer for the
pharmaceutical, cigar, cocaine,
cigarette, coffee, crutch and cos
metic concern.
I didn't know Arch Mcdonald
very we'll until the last world
series, probably because those
Southern gentlemen (Chatta-
nooga, Tenn don't have much
truck with we Northern Yankees
at least not until they get a
good chance to size us up.
Leastwise Arch proved to me
during the late and unlamented
world series that he can play a
swell game of stud poker, drink
his liquor straight and bow low
and graciously when a lady
enters a dining salon.
I only hope that he and
doc" Gibbs have plenty of that
rare, good old 15-year-old reserve
on hand Thursday night, few
samples of which Mr.. Mcdonald
was gallant enough to share
with us on the recent seven-day
bicycle races in Detroit and st.
Louis.

A @CURE. FOR GRASS FIRES

What did il matter to the subur-
banite that the wind was blowing
The grass was dry and he wanted
to burn 1t OF. So he lighted the fire
in field next to his property. He
tried to control the flames. but soon
the wind swept them against his
garage. and he was Obliged to sum-
mon the fire department. He thought
he was fortunate when the firemen
put out the fire with but little dam
age-and be was. The next day,
however. he did not feel so lucky
when he received a bill from the
fire department for $25.
This community had been plagued
with emergency calls to the fire de-
partment TO extinguish grass fires.
On the average, four or five such
calls would be received every week.
1t became quite an item of expense,
and always left the way open for
some more serious fire to gain head
way while the apparatus was out
on a grass fire call. Only recently
the fire chief had succeeded in get
ting the towns council to pass an
ordinance imposing a fine of SIS up
on anyone who started a grass fire
and had to call the fire department
10 extinguish il. Almost Immediately
these calls we're reduced to a few
scattered alarms per month. Evil
IDENTIFY the suburbanite referred to,
had not heard of the new ordinance.
Americas fire losses are dis
graceful blot upon the record of a
people. Every fire in
every community should be looked
into, to discover whether some such
cure" as the above ordinance is ad-
visable.

all of the members.
I During the month of March the
Home Demonstration agent will de-
vote her time with the clubs on the
subject of 'meat cookery" 1t is be-
ing realized that perhaps a wiser
distribution and use of home pro-
duced meats might help to meet one
J phase of the economy program, so
demonstrations will be given and
bulletins issued on this important
subject
Canning, including meats as well
as vegetables and fruits, is included
in the years program to help meet
the efficiency and economy budgets
of farm families. Women are enroll
ling this month in the special pro-
ject of gardening and canning to-
gether, with the hope that seasons
will provide conditions for good gar
dens during the spring, summer and
fall. Their plan is to make every
use of possible favorable seasons by
growing, canning and storing foods
for next winter in quantities suffi-
cient to eliminate the necessity of
having to supplement with bought
commercial foods.
There are other phases of home
life, however, that make up a vast
portion of the problem of living.
These, too, contribute to the welfare
of the home and add to the possible
happiness and contentment of the
members of such homes. Matters
pertaining to the management and !
general upkeep of the home both in |
side and outside. So, to meet the |
economy problems of these phases !
of homes. such projects as Cloth
ing" including construction and re-
modelling of clothes in general and

and otherwise useless fat and elimi-
nate the buying of laundry soap;

ing" which will include instruc-
lions on how to remove old finishes
and put on new finishes in such a
.
way as to have a finished product

,ies" which will include suggestions
IN better methods of laundry, as
we'll as other household cleaning fa-
,ilities for clothes and otherwise in
he home and yard improvement"
ire being given a great deal of time
n the years program.
Along with the above serious sub
ect matter demonstrations. the So
ial spirit of the home and COM
nunity will be catered to through ,
