how your own little girls will cud-

On the other hand, picture
your own children if Santa Claus
had passed them by! What a
tragedy for them! How broken
hearted they would be. To your
little ones it would be unthink-

I've seldom seen a debutante

Perhaps such a quality was the
result of the charm of the pretty

of hundreds of gorgeous bouquets
gave the occasion a certain quail

One Lawsuit Has
Lasted ESQ Years

A lawsuit which began in Pol
and about $50 years ago is still in
progress, notes Parsons Weekly.
A cavalry leader in the Polish
army named Colonel Lenk died in
the charge which routed the Tur-
kish army before the gates of Vi
emma, and his estates went to the
Carmelite monks.
Then his family produced a doc
ument written by him cancelling
the legacy, and the suit was begun.
Later it was continued against
the Russian government when Po-
land was absorbed by hat coun-
try.
Now that Poland is an indepen-
dent country, the suit continues:
this time against the Polish gov
eminent.
One of the longest lawsuits or
record extended over five cen.
turtles.
1t was a claim for the stagger-
ing amount of 100000 lb
made by the heirs of an Italian
aristocrat whose possessions were
confiscated by the state.
The claimants declared the con-
fiscation illegal, but ultimately ar
appeal court at Naples decided a.
gainst them.

Farm Questions
Answered AT
STATE COLLEGE

Question:-Can skim-milk or
buttermilk be substituted for any
thing else in the laying mash other
than dried milk.
Answer:-Yes. When as much
as three gallons is fed each day to
100 hens all the drier milk pro-
ducts, one-half the fish meal, and
one4half the meat meal as recon-
mended may be left out of the ra-
ton. The ucc Of these substi-
tutions, however, depend upon the
regular feelings of the skim milk
or buttermilk. Unless there is an
ample supply of these items at all
times no substitutions should be
made, or if only one gallon is avail
able only the dried milk product:
should be removed from the ration
Question:-Should old canes or
raspberry and dewberry fields b.
destroyed?
Answer:-All canes in the rasp.
berry field that have fruited shoule
be cut out and burned as soon a
the harvest is over. This prevents
the spread of any disease to tht
new canes. With dewberries, thu
old canes should be cut off ever
with the ground as soon as thu
picking season is over. Where thu
Lucretia variety of dewberries il
produced commercially, all canes
both old and new, are usually cut
Immediately after harvest. With
the Young variety, it is advisable
to cut only the old fruiting canes
Ouestion:-How can / keep my
cream cool and pure between col
lections
Answer:-After the milk i:
strained and separated the cream
should be placed in a can and the
can submerged in cold water SC
that all the cream is under water
Stir the cream occasionally to hast
en- the cooling. A concrete cool
ing tank placed where the water
from a spring will pass through
the tank is ideal, but where this
cannot be secured, a serviceable
tank may be made from a barrel
Change the water in such a tank
; at least three times a day. Do not
add warm cream to that already
cooled. Cool each separation be-
fore adding to the cold cream and
then stir until the entire batch
presents a uniform smooth body.

fare organizations, consumer edu-
Gators, and government depart
ments have had to rely on a small
study made in 1918 for informa-
ton about standards of living in
this country. The present con-
sumner purchasing study is made
possible by funds from the WPA
