The Horse And Buggy

An Indiana manufacturer of bug
gies is said to have orders to make
more than 500 of these vehicles.
Difficulty of getting or operating
automobiles in war time is likely
to lead to a big demand for the
good old time buggy, in which
former generation used to go ev-
erywhere.
The horse and buggy of old times
used to travel some six or eight
miles an hour, which the modern
world says is slow. People did not
try to cover great distances in those
times. They were satisfied just to
drive to the nearest market cen
ter for their purchases and sales
and entertainment and community
organizations. According to the ac-
counts of our grandparents, they
had very good time in the horse
and buggy days. ~

Women At The Bench

1t is predicted that next year it
will be necessary to mobilize many
more women to work in factories,
as the men are drawn away by the
draft, and as men find jobs on
munitions production. The ques-
tion is asked, how all the soldiers
can get work after the war, when
they come home and find women
occupying many of the positions
they formerly held.
1t has not proved in the past that
when women were taken into new
lines of work it diminished the
Jobs available for men. Back 100
years ago, few women worked in
factories. The men did most of that
work. AS time went on, women
went into various shop occupations.
Textile production provided en-
ployment for great numbers of
them, but the employment of these
women did not seem to create any
unemployment among men.
At a somewhat later date, wo-
men. went into shoe and clothing
factories in great numbers. That
apparently did not create unem-
ployment for men. But performing
these tasks, the women became able |
to spend money, which created a
demand for many more goods, and |
thus provided work for a greater |
number of men. The more people |
go to work, the more jobs there |
are.
Today women perform countless
tasks of factory work, and have |
been very successful at it. Their
sense of taste helps create attrac-
tive goods. Their fidelity to their
tasks assures good standards of
production. Their advice about the
things that women want has prov
sd q lifs saver ta ts.s countless en-
ployers.
In many defense factories they
will be highly useful. Women are
the creators of life, and it is re-
grettable that they have to be ask
ed to, make material to destroy life.
They love their country, and know
that freedom and the welfare of
women and children are to be pre-
served by protecting our beloved /.
land from its foes.

Ideal Communities

People live under about as near
ideal conditions as they can expect
when they dwell in a good town
like Milford. They get a moderate
cost of living, they have good
churches and good schools and
good community organizations.
There is a good chance to earn a
living. in this neighborhood.
The community is not so big
that the individual person is lost in
the shuttle. Everyone gets a chance
around here to show what he can
do, and have his abilities and
achievements appreciated. The
community is full of fine people,
whose friendship has value, and
from whom one can learn many
useful things. Social life in our
town is very pleasant, and people
can find here that richest of all
treasures, which is friendship.

For the 1912 season two editions
of these orchard spray notes have
been sent out from the Office of
County Agent Russell e. Wilson to
all the fruit growers in Kent coun-

ty, however, who failed to receive
this chart it is suggested that they
contact the county extension Office

In this second edition of spray
notes optional combinations of

peach orchards, with special ref
erence to burning all prunings and
brush and destroying peach num-

miles of the Atlantic Coast.
If we are to have prolonged
blackouts, it is essential that we
prepare for such emergencies.
While we can do without lights in
the house for a few minutes at a
time, we must make other arrange
ments for a blackout lasting sew

only 9,500,000 barrels were trans
ported by pipe line from inland

were so expensive they were never

I'm the past year, however, thou
sands of tank cars have been press

limits have been increased and pipe
line and barge shipments have in
creased to about 100000 barrels.
Tank ship building programs
have been expanded but sinkings
and transfers to the Pacific and
other essential war service have
conspired to create transportation
difficulties behind present ration
ing rules.
''The oil industry is sparing no
effort to modify the situation, which
is almost entirely one of transport
tation. The demand on the industry
for specialized fuels and lubricants
for our armed forces is steadily in
creasing and must be met COM
pletely. In the meantime, it is the
patriotic duty of motor vehicle
owners to conserve. Oil is amuni-
