Timely Hints
Bv RUTH CURRENT

SLdAc hume INSTRUMENTATION agent
When you go shopping, don't
shop at tbs rush hours when all
other shoppers are croWding the
stores. Don't take up the clerks
time ''just looking". Compare
prices by reading your newspa-
pers before you leave home.
Avoid shopping when you are
too tired to use good judgment
and don't take home things you
plan to return. Shop around to
find out where your most con-
sistent best buys are. Buy fruits
and vegetables by weight not by
measure, when possible. See that
the scales are accurate. Check
your purchase slip before leaving
the counter.
Plan your wardrobe in advance
and take advantage of special
sales. Plan your color combina-
tons around basic coat, hat, and
shoe colors. Remember one COM
plete good-looking outfit, in
which you always feel your best,
is better than several of which
you are not certain. Buy becom-
ing and we'll made school clothes,
and put less money into clothes
you don't wear often. Buy sim
pie ''classic" styles; you won't
tire of them. Avoid buying
dresses with trimming that will
not wash or clean we'll.
Keep all your clothes in serv-
ice; give them daily systematic
care; don't lay aside dresses that
need button. a belt, or a press
ing and forget them. Two pairs
of shoes last longer if they are
worn alternately than if first
one pair and then the other is
worn constantly until it wears
out. Try not to get your shoes
wet. Avoid spending your mon
eny on such fads as cheap pins,
necklaces, and scarfs, because a
few well-chosen accessories have
more character than many cheap
ones. Keep a snock to wear
while you are cooking or doing
huseWork.

military and civilian USE"
Bashing his statement on the
fact that there are 100000 farms
in this state, Commissioner Scott
asserted that if one-tenth of these
farms had only ten sheep each,
North Carolina could rank with
any State in the Southeast in
sheep production.
Asked a few days ago why these
sheep are being brought in from
away out West, Scott replied
that at the present time our
sheep production is so low that
breeding ewes are not available
in sufficient numbers to supply
the demand; and second, that
breeding ewes grown in the West
under arid conditions come into
the State largely free from the
stomach worm, which along with
dogs, has been the greatest men
ace to the growing of sheep in
this area.
