much work" Perhaps a better name
for it is efficiency" In any case, new
methods require new equipment. If you
raise chicks in large numbers you must
provide equipment that will take care
Of the larger numbers with no more
work. If you range your chicks out
in the field away from disease-infeSted
spots, your equipment must change at
the same time, or you will find your
self spending more and more hours
taking care of them.
If you had a large barrel waterer
equipped with faucet and trough, a
trip day would take care of watering
pretty large flock. Feeders are per-
haps even more important, for not only
must they be big enough and numerous
enough to hold at least a days supply
of feed but they must be non-waste in
addition. Among the Indispensable"
in raising chicks far afield is a shade
shelter. Place the feeders and watering
trough in the shade of the shelter and
you will not need to worry about the
chicks running back to the old, con-
taminated range for protection from the
sun. Best Of all, you can be sure they
will keep on eating all the feed that is
necessary for quick growth and early
maturity.

MOTH PREVENTION.

| Again it Is time to wage the annual
battle against moths and the results oil
a study of household pests made by the
entomologists of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture should save homemakers
both time and money in warning on
these pests.
1t was proved that though certain
fumes or vaporS will kill clothes moths
odors do not bother them as often sup
posed. AS for spraying to keep out
moths, that may help if the spray hits
the moth directly, but remember that
moths don't mind the smell of sprays
pleasant or unpleasant. So just per-
Tuning your clothes or closet with spray
will not deter moths.
A good many people have mistakenly
put their faith in the smell of cedar,
suppoSing that the odor given off from
stop moths. The entomologists found
that unless a cedar chest or closet was
made of heavy red cedar heart wood
and built practically alright, it was no
more prevention against moths than
any ordinary chest or closet. The cedar
odor is not proof against moths; the
volatile oil or penetrating vapor which
the cedar heart wood alone gives off
will kill young moth worms, however
Certain fumes or vapors will make
an end to these insects. For household
use, moth balls or crystals or flakes
are still useful and inexpensive sub
stances for casing moths to death.
These should contain napthalene, para
dchliorobenzine or gum camphor all of
which give off heavy vapor as they
evaporate. Enough of this vapor in
closed containers will penetrate clothes
and destroy any moths in them. Use at
least l pound of flake napthalene or
aradichlorobenzine to each 100 cubic
feet of enclosed space.
When the time comes to store away
winter clothes or blankets, you can drive
out all moths by washing, dry cleaning
or by thorough brushing, airing and
summing. Then Immediately pack the
clothes or blankets away in alright
containers Wrap the boxes carefully
in unbroken paper with the edges
sealed tightly against moth attack by
means of gummed paper.
In conclusion, simply rid the clothes
of moths and store them where the
moths can't reach them As a safety
measure, sprinkle moth crystals in the
containers with the clothes before you
seal them.

DraUs Cell Instead of
Coast, Canyon, Forests

st. Cloud-Out of the thousands of
cities, villages, towns and hamlets in
the United States, Henry Waldo, 81, has
chosen the city of st. Cloud, Minnesota,
to break record. Little is known
about Henry's past except that it has
been very well distributed, for Henry,
despite his years, is a hobo-in some
sense, soldier of fortune For the
last 80 years he has roamed about the
United States with the unique record
Of not having stayed in one county
for more than two weeks. But alas,
Henry's record was shattered when he
was given Is days, just one too many,
on vagrancy charge. He now sits in
the county Jail, chin cupped in his
gnarled hands, despondently peering
toward the railroad track as time
creeps on its inevitable march to the
dead-line. Perhaps the judge felt that
a short stretch in Jail might rest Wan
dering Waldo or fatten him up a bit,
but for Henry, who now cools his heels,
there is no peace.

1t has often been said, and in this
column, too, that accidents do not
happen.
The cause of any particular accident
may be attributed to careless driver,
to pedestrian, to a defect in the high
way, to a mechanical defect, to hazard
Gus weather conditions, or to a COM
bination of a number of these factors.
Yearly statistics, as prepared by all
states and bureaus, indicate that the
human element is the outstanding
cause. The driver of the automobile Is
usually the cause of all the trouble.
When the actions of drivers have
been carefully checked according to the
statistics given in recent years, it is
found that two out of every three &C
cidents involve mistakes by drivers.
Excessive speed caused 1920 deaths in
1885. Driving on the wrong side of the
road caused another 1910 deaths, and
so on.
We are to blame-not the machine.

Hubbard Men to Fly
Self-BuiIt Airpldne.

Park Rapids-Among its progressive
citizens Hubbard county has two air
plane builders who have just finished
an air craft that will soon take to the
air. The idea of building plane was
conceived by Ivan Prentice and three
years ago he started on the project.
He cut selected spruce for the frame
work, carefully seasoned it, and fash
Toned the parts. Later he was joined
by his brother, George Prentice, who
assisted in completing the plane. The
air craft has a wing spread of 80 feet,
and the wing surface is five feet wide.
The total length of the plane from stem
to stern is 10 feet. The propeller, a
regulation airplane part, is six feet, four
inches from tip to tip. The wheels are
regular airplane running gear. Pow
cred by Ford A motor, the engine
will develop so horsepower, and will
provide sufficient power to fly the plane
at high speed. The Prentice brothers
have had some experience in flying air
planes, although neither has a pilots
license.

AUXILIARY TO
SELL P0PPIES
Legion Unit Will Distribute
Memorial Flowers Here on
Saturday, May %.

While disabled World War veterans
are completing the millions of peoples
which Americans will wear in memory
of the war dead on Poppy Day this year
American Legion Auxiliary Units in
every part of the country are organ
izing their forces to carry the peoples
to the public. During the whole month
of May efforts of the Auxiliary's 425 O0O
women will be concentrated on men,
orial poppy activities.
More than ten million of the little
red memorial flowers have been made
by disabled veterans this year. Work
ing in government hospitals and in
workrooms maintained by the AuXil-
larry, they have transformed acres of
crepe paper and miles of wire into
realistic replicaS of the peoples which
grew along the battle front in France
and Belgium. Hundreds of men, needy
veterans with little or no government
compensation, have been given employ
ment during the winter and spring.
Auxiliary Units are now perfecting
preparations for the distribution of the
flowers. An army of more than 1O0,-
600 volunteer workers will be modified
for the effort. None of its members
will receive any pay for her services,
all the money contributed for the pop
pies going to the welfare funds of the
American Legion and Auxiliary. Junior
members of the Auxiliary, daughters of
World War veterans, are expected to
take a prominent part in the activity
this year.
BY honoring the war dead by wearing
the peoples, the public will be aiding the
disabled veterans, the widows and
fatherleSs children, explained Mrs.
Thomas Murn, the Auxiliary local
poppy chairman. The vast welfare
program Of the Auxiliary derives its
principal support from the poppy day
contributions
Poppy Day will be observed in Ely on
Saturday, May %, when members of
the Frank LoZar unit of the American
Legion Auxiliary will distribute the
memorial flower throughout the city,
according to Mrs. Murn.

RUTABACAS.

Try rutabagas for Vitamin C. Ruta-
bagas boast an excellent rating OF
Vitamin G if they are used raw. Cut
in narrow strips and served raw with
salt, just as you would serve celery, they
are delicious when the rutabagas are
firm and crisp. Three ounces of ruta-
bagas would have forty units of the
anti-scurvy vitamin, while the same
weight of tomatoes only contain Is
units.
Rutabaga strips could take the place
OF fresh fruit in the lunch basket.
