fed farms whether powered from
high lines or by home plants - who
have an electric fatiron. Small Won
der, for you know how little it costs
to own and operate one, how much
time and labor it saves in doing your
weekly laundry and how many years
of satisfaction it gives without atten-
ton of any kind.
But have you modern electric
iron? Like all other devices in this
rapidly-changing world, electric irons
constantly are being improved in de-
sign, operation and efficiency. In
consequence, there is no more COM
parison between an electric iron of
IS, 10 or even S years ago and a
modern one of today, than there is
between an automobile of 1929 and
the streamlined vehicle of 1910.
The modern electric iron is COM
pletely streamlined throughout, with
smooth, rounded points, bevel edges,
more comfortable handles, lighter
weight and safety rest. All these fea-
lures contribute to better, easier and
more rapid work.
Nearly all of today's electric irons
are equipped with adjustable heat
regulators which automatically main
tain the temperature at the point

used (many modern irons require

This gives ample heat where it is

damp fabric) and, as result, gar

finished with less ironing pressure.
Also, the iron comes up to heat more
quickly = an important factor when
one is in hurry.
Other advantages of constant heat
are that the iron always is ready for
immediate use as it never need be
disconnected while ironing, and cur
rent consumption is less because
there is no alternate heating and
cooling. Automatic regulation also
eliminates the fire hazard, it being
impossible for the iron to overhead

a predetermined maximum safe tenn

BEFORE REPEAL
New York State farmers
planted only IS acres
to hops. Two years ago
this acreage had in
creased fifteen fold with
an average return OF
5000 per acre. In order
that the Maryland far
mer may reap the bene-
fit of a local industrial
market, the Experiment
Station at the University
of Maryland is studying
the growth of rye in this
state. Only a small part
of the rye now grown
in Maryland is used in
the manufacture of dis
titled spirits. Yet Mary
land farmers obviously
will profit if they can
produce quantities of
accepta bic rye for
Maryland distillers who
now pay a heavy freight
duty in bringing the
grain from the Middle
West. Corn, wheat and
oats which are grown
in the West are also
produced IN this state SO
why not rye grain as
we'll? That is what the
experiment now being
conducted, through the
assistance of the Asso-
citation, proposes to dis
cover.

In England the Angel wrestled "a

the Angel changed to catch-as-

Standing S feet S and weighing
