Farm EIecfrifc Bureau

THERE are few farmers who enjoy
l. nighttime service that need be
told of the many advantages of an
electric gerator-how, without
attention, it dependably and cheaply
protects the family's health, and
saves food, money and work. A ma
jority of those who do not already
have one are planning its purchase
as soon as finances permit, for its
many benefitS-moSt marked during
the hot days of summer and fall
make it a year-'round necessity.
However, there probably are many
farmers who do not know how to
choose the proper size and type of
electric refrigerator for their partic-
ular needs, or how to operate it at
greatest efficiency and lowest cost.
For them, some hints on those points
should prove helpful.
Whatever you do, do not buy re-
frigerator too small for your mari
mum requirements That is a serious
mistake and one often made either
because the unit is purchased purely
on a price basis or because no allow
ance is made for the possibility of
additional mouths to feed or extra
perishables to store. A good general
rule to follow is to allow two cubic
feet of storage space per family
member but, in no case, should a
farm refrigerator have capacity of
less than six cubic feet.
The type (and also size) of cleo
trio refrigerator you need will de-
pend upon your marketing and buy
ing habits, the kinds of foodstuffS
you raise, buy and sell, and whether
or not you wish to keep supplies of
fresh meats and frozen foods imme-
diately on hand at all times.
Proper management is the most
important factor in keeping the OPP
Grating cost of any good electric re-
frigerator at a minimum. Despite the
excellence of its insulation, it should
be located in as cool place as pos
sible and away from the. range and
other sources of heat. Hot foods
should be allowed to cool to room
temperature before being placed in
the box. The door should be opened
as seldom as possible and kept open
no longer than is absolutely neces-
sary. The temperature inside the re-

VODER WHICH TALKS

AGAIN FEATURE BELL
EXHIBIT AT N. Y. FAIR
"Vaice Mirror" And Hearing
Tests Also Included Among
Attractions

Last year it talked. This year
it talks-and sings like man. at"
is the Voder, that remarkable cleo
trio voice machine which will again
be included among the many at
fractions of the Bell Telephone Ex-
hibit when the New York Worlds
Fair opens on May II.
Considered one Of the three most
popular exhibits at the fair last
year, the Bell System show will
again feature free demonstration
long distance calls to any point in
the United States. Visitors will
also have an opportunity to learn
how their words sound to others
over the telephone by means of the
'voice mirror" and to have their
hearing scientifically tested.
DUR lg the time that the fair
was opened in 1899 total of 1885,
900 persons visited the telephone
exhibit or about 80 per cent of the
total paid attendance. Over 3d.
900 obtained the privilege of MAX
ing long distance demonstration
calls to which 100000 listened.
Some 100000 tests of hearing
were made, 100000 visitors heard
their own telephone voices repeated
by voice mirror apparatus, 100000
were interviewed on the addition
stage and over 100000 listened
to the Voder.

tightly covered or we'll wrapped in
wax paper before being placed in
the electric refrigerator. Milk and
butter also should be covered or
they will absorb odors. The cooling
coils should be defrosted at least
once a week or as soon as the frost
on them is a quarter Of an inch thick.
Should your refrigerator stop, see
if the power is on, if the cord and
plug are in good condition or if any
fuses have blown. If the trouble is
in the compressor, advise the SER
vice department of your nearest
dealer Do not try to fix it yourself
as it requires expert attention. Fol-
low the manufacturers instructions
as to oiling-many units do not need
it.
Do these things and your electric
refrigerator will give you many
years of low-cost trouble-free SER
vice and satisfaction.

EASING TIP

Two brothers. named Wood and
each over the age of 80 years, were
witnesses in certain case. Both
testified so clearly and made such
good witnesses that the Judge asked
them as to their habits One stated
that he had always been temperate,
and the other said that he had used
liquor and tobacco ever since he was
a boy Whereupon the Judge re-
marked, This wood seems to be
equally good whether it is wet or
dry"
Perhaps each of these brothers
thought that his way of living was
the best There are those who main
tain that if man reaches the age
of As or SO without having any or
ganic ailment, he has proven that
his health habits are best for him.
In other words, he need not change
his way of living.
i However, person who reaches
that age must slow down; the time
for moderation has arrived His
exercise must be less violent If
he takes cold baths in the morning
he should take some of the ice from
the water. If he smokes, he should
smoke little less. If he is hearty
eater. accustomed to hot biscuits
and fried chicken for dinner, let
him eat less-leave one of the
wings
At that stage in life also, most
people should be able to slow down
in other respects. Time usually has
a mellowing effect. Maybe we be-
gin to realize that those who dis
agre with us in politics are not all
morons, and that there is chance
of salvation for some of those whose
religious beliefs differ from ours.
! Why can't we have more tolerance
and understanding in everyday re-
lations. more charity and less harsh
ness in our judgments? If we must
go on hating somebody, lets put on
shock absorbers to remove some
of the sting. Yes, we would do
we'll to ease up bit on several

UNITED WE STAND, DISUNITED
WE FALL.

Mr.. and Mrs. American Public of
today are not interested in the polit-
ical aspirations of any Individual or
group of individuals. There is a 1
much more important job for us
than the personal qualification of any
candidate or any ticket and it is
time that the politicians realize this
fact. From reading and observation
we believe America is facing the
greatest menace, to her future, in all
of American history That being
true we have little time for the
mud singing. conceited harangue of
many politicians seeking office by
such methods.
Consumption is the big thing in
the minds of American people, at
the present time There are a few
of us against the measure to linn
tied extent, but this might be at
trlbuted to the fact that we would
like to know more about the why's
and Wherefores of the question We
grow weary of the long Winded ora
tory. name calling and prejudice
that is being shown in our legislative
1iidliio0io ul tliI PiGo0IL illbiliGilt.
If consumption is necessary, then
the country should be for it one
hundred per cent. However, we
are not wholly in sympathy with the
attitude of the group that are. seem
lngly, trying to block the defense
program.
The majority Of American citizens
are vitality interested in this sub
Ject for many have sons who will
be eligible for the draft if the bill
is passed in congress- However, we
would like to know more about the
plans for caring for these new re-
cruits and would like to know and
be sure that no favorites are shown
when the draft is made. We also
would like to know if the wealth of
our country will be drafted the same
as our sons. These are few of the
things we have an inherent right
to know, but are not finding out
on account of the pickering and
political manoeuvering that is stead
lily going on in Washington, D. c.
To our idea, time is a great factor
IN the defense program and certainly
these stalling and political harangues
are not conducive to rapid de-
Tense program. We are vitality in
terested in the necessary preparation
of our country for any emergency
that may arise during the coming
year. We cannot forsee just what
may be in store for us in the months
; ahead, but whatever must be done
should be accomplished in the short
est possible time In order to prop
erly and consistently utilize the
billions of dollars already appropri-
ated for national defense, it would
seem that the conscription of wealth
and manpoWer must follow along
hand in hand.
In view of these facts, we cannot
feel that this measure should be-
come a partisan football, for this
breaks doWn-the strength of a unit
ed front and we can see from the
downfall of France just what might
happen IN our own country if par
tisan politics continue to obstruct
