BETTER HOUSES WANTED:


This cry for better winter homes
to rent to pros pective tourists
has two sides to it and the COM
munity can't get much laugh out
of either-they are too painful.
When prospective residents want
to rent nice homes it seems that
the town is asleep not to furnish
such, but the old saying that q
burnt child breads the fire." is
still applicable. The past decade.
has been an Improbable one for
the average property owner in
Hendersonville, which now enjoys
a more optimistic outlook. Own
ers couldn't rent nice homes.
They were broken into and
plumbing and electrical fixtures
Were stolen. Tenants, regardless
of price, were placed in the prop
critics for their protection. They
enjoyed the luxury of modern APP
pointments at shack prices. The
change was good to the taste and
although rents have been climb
ing, the tenants have done their
best to remain in the homes. And
therefore low rentals are the
principle pains Just NOW, tso

Good Storage

One of the most important factors
in good storage is maintaining the
temperature in which each fruit and
vegetable keeps best. Failure to
provide this temperature shortens
storage life. Proper amount of moist
ure in the air of storage rooms is
also essential. Other causes of spoils
age may have come from storage
diseases such as rots and molds.
Then there are varieties of fruits
and vegetables which are naturally
poor keepers. For winter storage,
potatoes keep best in piles small
enough so that not more than three
feet can be measured from the cen
ter of the pile to the outside. Pota-
toes need air, and they should be
free from loose dirt when placed in
storage. Moist air helps in prevent
ing potatoes from shrinking, espe-
cially if the air temperature is some
what higher than that recommend
ed. Frequent sprinkling of the walls
in the storage room is beneficial.

Finds Cost Varies in
the Production of Milk

The cost of producing milk varies
from month to month; it is highest
in winter months and lowest in sum-
mer months, according to DR.. L. C.
Cunningham of the department of
agricultural economics at Cornell
university.
Based on yearly average costs,
he says, January and February are
the two months when costs are high
est, and June and July months
when they are lowest. During fall
months, the cost builds up toward
winter high; during spring months
it tends to taper toward the sum-
mer low.
At the same time, the farm price
of milk does not change correspond
ingly. More variation occurs in the
cost of producing milk than in the
price received at the farm. In gen.
eral, he points out, the price of
milk does not fall so far below the
yearly average in the summer, nor
rise so high in the winter months.
If the yearly average cost is taken
as 100 per cent, the highest pro-
ducing cost is represented by 1913,
and the lowest by 81, whereas the
farm price of milk is represented
by high of 115 and low of "a.
DR.. Cunningham's figures are
based on a study of 437 dairy farms
in four representative dairy sec
tons of New York state.

the first thing I had to do was to
resign as Aces secretary. Then I
thought I'd have a talk with him
and warn him to lay off Molly. I
didn't go much further than that in
my mind. But had a dim suspi-
cion that if he didn't keep off, de-
spite the disparity in our ages, I
was going to beat the face off him.
'fWas Ace conscious of the
change in your attitude?" Patrick
asked.
"I'n say he was. 1 did my
work, but we never exchanged a

worked for Ace, signed two-thirds
of his letters and nobody ever no
ticed the difference. Several times
when Ace needed money, he had
asked me to make out the check
and sign his name to it. Then I
would beat it down to the bank and
cash it for him. The checks all
went through. Naturally gave
Ace the money. Anyway, one Sat
urday night l gave Ace notice that
I was quitting my job. He said
he was glad that I'd come to that
conclusion because he had several
weeks before come to the same
conclusion. And then to my aston
ishment, he said that I'd got to
leave town if I wanted to keep out
of Jail. Naturally, / asked what
he meant by that. He said that
because he respected my father and
mother so much he would lodge
no complaint against me if I left
Satuit, but if I stayed, he would
have me arrested for forgery-on
the score of those checks. He said
he had a whole sheet of paper on
which / had practiced writing his
name. That was most likely true.
He said that he had taken the
checks had signed to a handwrit-
ing expert, all shuff1ed up with
checks which bore his genuine sig
nature and that the expert had
picked out the forgeries. I said,

THURSDAY i.

Again I spent a troubled night.
It was not so much that I did not
sleep. I slept fitfully; for now ex-
hansted nature was demanding her
toll. 1t was more that dreams
bothered me-broken dreams with
out logic or continuity, great, loom
ing, shadowy scenes which glided
with an incredible ease and rapid
ty, one into the other, blended for
an interval and then by some in
conceivable magic separated and
changed again. Worries! And all
major worries! Walter and Molly!

thoughts always broke here and

confusion.

"How does it happen that you're

demanded.
"Nancy isn't coming over to-
day." Sylvia informed me. "And
I thought I'd stay up here. I think
I'll make a new dress for Dorinda

She was sitting on a little foot
stool beside one of the Gloucester
hammocks. Beside her was her
little work-basket.
Over the customs lay bits of
dress material which I had given
her from time to time; patches of
silk and chiffon; snippets of ribbon;

A GREAT deal is said a d
= written about the importance
of a good posture, both for the
sake of health, and a graceful
carriage. Most of the suggestions
and. aids are applicable to correct
standing and walking, but the i'm
portance of sitting correctly is no
less significant. There are in
stances of what are termed in
durable diseases, being contracted
by sitting repeatedly or continu-
ously in way opposed to natures
requirements, which are a free
and easy functioning of the organs
Of the body.
Correct Pastures.
In sitting the back should be
erect or inclined backward. The
legs from hips to. knees should
be approximately at right angles
to the body, although they may
incline slightly downward. The
position of the legs from knees
to feet is of minor Importance.
The limbs may be perpendicular
or inclined out. Crossing the feet
is sometimes restful to one foot
and then the other. Crossing the
legs may be INDUCED in, although
this does throw the hips out of
position a trife, so it is advisable
to alternate the crossings fire.
quently.
Use of Footrests.
The use of footstool is rest
full, and many times advised by
physicians in order to promote
good circulation. The height of
the footrest is variable, from low,
to as high as the chair seat in
chaise lounge fashion. Always the
body should be erect in sitting, or
inclined backward, for it to be
natural.
Injurious Posture.
This brings us to the especially
Injurious sitting position in which
the body is bent forward, or the
knees inclined up. In either event
there is a slight "Jack knife
position, bringing the knees and
body at an angle less than a right
angle. This position is common
when leaning over a desk and
writing, or when sitting in seat
which is higher along the front

the engagement and that, six
months later, she became engaged

81 remember all that" I said.
81 understand" Walter went on,
''that Satuit has rocked with ru-
mors about that broken engage
ment. Almost every theory has
been advanced to account for it and
almost everything that could be
said has been said. None of them
is true. Oh, I do think that one or
two people conjectured that Ace
Blake deliberately set himself to
the work of breaking our engage
ment. That was true. But how it
was done, nobody but Molly and I
have the renotest idea"
Walter paused and his look hard
ened. I was astonished at the
change that came over him. Sud-
denly he looked, not so much ten
years older, as ten years wiser,
more knowledgeable, I would put

Ace Blake had not been dead,
there would have been hatred in it,

that Ace fell desperately in love
with Molly. I didn't blame him
for that" Here Walters smile
came back. 81 have never blamed
any man for falling in love with
Molly. The wonder to me is that
every man in the world is not at her
feet. I am not naturally a jealous
person and I wasn't and never
have been the least bit jealous of

ment that we became engaged that
Molly loved me and would always
love me. But after a while, I could

Give Hogs Range
When Fattening
Animals Will Produce Meat
of Better Quality When
Not Crowded.
BY H. W. Taylor, Extension Swine Special
list, North Carolina State College.
-WNU Service,

-WNO SeIVlCS.
Contrary to popular belief, a
small, filthy, crowded pen is no
place to fatten hogs. Crowded and
filthy, the hogs cannot be as
healthy and sanitary as they should
to produce good, firm, wholesome
meat. Overfat hogs do not produce
the best pork.
Hogs will gain well and keep
clean if allowed a reasonable
amount of range and given all the
balanced ration they can eat, land
some exercise is needed to keep
them healthy.
Since it is important that pork
be produced as economically as is
reasonably possible, it is good
practice to turn the hogs into a field
where they can CLEAN food that has
been left from various crops.
Fattening hogs should have, in
addition to the field gleanings, all the
corn they can eat and a protein sup
plement should be kept before them
at all times.
Fish meal or tankage, or a mix
ture containing one-half cottonseed
tankage is recommended as good
protein supplement.
Along in the early winter, growers
should begin to think about their
spring farrows, and see that the
necessary equipment is available.
Now is a good time to build a
narrowing house. A plan for such
a house may be obtained from
county farm agents.
