The weeks funny story is that
told by weekly news review column
list when he insinuated that President
Roosevelt's peacemaker role is seen
as campaign strategy. Now so far
everyone knows that the President
has inclined to nothing but peace
Why shucks, he is even so peaceful
that not even the Republicans can get
him riled, and besides he is bending
much of his campaign efforts right
now toward getting the farmer votes.
The President is said to have re-
marked that the naval budget for next
year will be larger. Now, where in
the name of common sense, is he going
next year?
Herbert Hoover says that President
Roosevelt is not leading liberalism,
but instead of bringing the past up
to the present he is bringing the
present back to the past Well, by
golly, you can rest assured that
don't want to be present when they
drag out the past.
Dear readers, did you ever hear OF
the motorist, who absent mindedly
took up his tools after fixing tire
and drove off, forgetting that his wife
had been helping him. After several
miles down the road he noticed that
she did not answer when he addressed
her and it was only then that he dis
covered that he had left her standing
where she helped him fix the tire.

Japanese troops also have been sent
to the territory near Hongkong, a
British crown colony, and it has been
necessary for London and Paris to
remind Tokyo that no Entertainments

will be tolerated. But Japan replies
that if anything untoward happens
there, it will be due to the careless
ness or Indifference of the British
and the French themselves. Japan, an
official announcement says, must re-

sooner had he started for home in a
rage after his failure to catch Mrs.
Gobbler than she had made a wide
circle and hurried back to the Green
Meadows, where she had left her pre-

glistened with pride. Though she

Scientists have combined the
practical with the csthctic in 4
new fungicidc for the control OF
brown patch, disease Of lawn
and golf grasses. The fungle1de
not only controls the disease but
dyes the grass any desired shade
of green.
The United States Golf associa-

cooperated with the department in
the research work, which was un-
der the direction of DR.. John Mon

The base of the fungicide is
malachitc green dye. The first so
lutions-while effective as fun
eivide-were an odd shade Of blue
that did not fit into the color
scheme Of any greensward. The
scientists then found they could
match any grass with the proper
shade of green by adding about
half-and-half of the malachlte
green and quarantine O, yellow
dye. together with about 2 per

HOME WIRING IS
NEW PROBLEM FOR
FAMILY ON FARM
STATION, Raleigh,

COLLEGE STATION Raleigh
Fab 15-The rapidly expanding
network of rural power lines in
Nortb Carolina has brought new
rrob,em to many farm families
that Of wiring their homes.
d f. Jones, rural elcctritica-
tion specialist at State college, de-
cIarcd today that the only way the
nov customer viii get the fullest
benefit from power lines Is to have
his home wired adequately and
He warned against home own
ors attempting to do the job them
selves or allowing "jack-leg' e!ec-
t,icians to do the work. Only
skilled electricians are fitted to do
= wiring lob that will provide sat
jsfaction and safety.
. "The safety factor is highly inn
nortant," Jones said. "fhe differ
ence in price between safe and
unsafe wiring is too small 60 enter
the picture, but the results Of un-
safe wiring are too serious to be
ignored.
Many home-ow have had to
install additional outlets after the
original Job was completed. This
could have been avoided had fu-
ture needs been considered when
the wiring plan for the home was
made.
When wiring plans arc complct-
ed. it is advisable to have more
than one contractor bid on the
lob. The plan submitted wiz en-
able each one to know exactly
what is wanted. When it is not
stated definitely what is desired,
some Of the less responsible con
tractors may plan to use inferior
materials or circuits Of inadequate
capacity, and thus be able to un-
Gcrb.d others.

tanned in Extension Circular No.
