no YOU have a laundering to
~ make your home bright for the
holidays? Then gather up the Christ
mas cards you've been finding in
your mail box these December
mornings, for those colorful bits OF
,"Seasons Greetings" have no end
of Christmas decor possibilities.
Especially during the holidays,
"home is where the hearth is" So
here are some suggestions for
"dressing up" your fireplace in an
eye-catching mantle of Christmas
cards. In less time than it takes
to read this, you can line up your
Christmas cards, in not too precise
rows, or hang them in festoons from
the mantel, as illustrated above.
This simple trick could just as
successfully be applied to the top Of
your bookcase. or to a tered table.
But if you're looking for the in
genious, here are some other ideas.
Is it a touch of patriotism that you
want to add to your Christmas
scene? With the assistance of some
scotch tape you can easily arrange
your Christmas cards in 'V'' for
nation over your fireplace. Or per-
haps you feel in the old-fashioned
AMI traditional mood. Then attach
wide red or green ribbons Cor both)
festoon fashion around the mantel
and secure the cards to the ribbon
with paper clips. Or frame your
fireplace by pasting Christmas cards
in a scattered design.
Why not try decorating your
spruce or pine with Christmas
cards? (See the sketch in the upper
left hand cOrnerD You'll find this
novel idea quite as gay as the usual
adornments, ard twice as refresh
ing.
Incidentally, should the thought
full people who sent you the cards
stop in for a holiday visit, you'll be
PLEASANTLY surprised to see how fiat
tered they'll be at finding their re-
membranes so charmingly dis
played.
If you're really a conscientious
conserver, here's another item to
add to your list. Have you always
hesitated to destroy your Christmas
cards because of sentimentality or

the obvious beauty of the cards?
Then you should be pleased TO hear
that there are any number of DIFF
ferent uses to which they can be
put-from adding decorator S
touch to an old Wastepaper basket
to making place cards for kiddie
party. Here are some suggestions
for enlisting your holiday greetings
in a good cause.
Why not have your club pool their
receipt of Christmas cards? Delight,
full scrapEoolls could be made for
the children of servicemen in your
neighbOrhood. Or send the cards to
the children's wards in hospitals.
The young patients enjoy handling

own scrapbooks helps them pass the
weary hours swiftly.

ward to receiving tray faVors made
from used Christmas cards. Ard
the servicemen appreciate the
thought behind the token.
If your club is planning to partici-
pate in a War-relief bazaar, mex
pensive and distinctive novelties can
be made from Christmas cards.
BookCnds, vases, bookmarks, hand
blotters, match books can all look
quite impressive by the simple addi-
ton of a design cut out of Christmas
cards.

Culling Flocks
Pays Dividends

Because of the rise in feed
prices and the decline in egg
prices, North Carolina poultry
growers should thoroughly Gull
their laying flocks and main
tain as high egg production as
possible, says C. F. Parrish, in
charge of Poultry Extension at
N. c. State College.
He suggests that flocks be Gull
led at night, when the birds will
be disturbed as little as possible.
Using a flashlight, the grower
can take the loafers from his
flock and save on feed costs. The
non-laying hens show a pale, dry
comb, which is shrinking up and
scaly. The face has yellow tint.
In the beak and eye-ring, the
yellow color reappears when lay
ing stops.
"Most heavy breeds and all
yellow skinned varieties of poul-
try show these changes in pig
mentation, or bleaching out, ex-
cept such white-skinned varie-
ties as orpingtons", Parrish says.
He points out that the comb of
the laying hen is soft, warm,
waxy and full Of blood. The face
is bright red, and the beak and
eye-ring is bleached out and
white.
I'm culling hens, late molters
should be retained as breededs,
if the grower plans to reproduce
his flock from the present group
of hens, Parrish says. Gull
out but do not sell OUT, was an
other comment.
The non-laying hens or pullets
which are culled from the flock
can be used at home or canned
for future use, or they can be
placed on the market.
Parrish warns that poultry not
fit for food should be killed and
buried deeply, as a disease con-
troll measure.

Chestnut Wood
Is Badly Needed

Old dead chestnut wood today,
if sound, has market the best
for it in many years, and the
reason for this market is the
need of tanning materials to
make leather so that the men in
service can have shoes to wear.
Before the war with Japan, much
of our tanning materials was
made in the East Indies and
Philippine Islands. Japan has
those ports closed against us and
the only materials we have to
use are tan bark and chestnut
wood, and chestnut wood, as we
all know, is almost thing of the
past, the trees being dead, but
can be used yet if sound. The
government has made ceiling
price of $1,000 for 100 cubic feet
delivered to shipping point or
mill.
The Wilkes Extract Works at
North Wilkesboro are now pay
ing that price delivered at their
mill any day except Sunday and
will take any quantity, cash pay
ment soon as delivered, officials
announce.
1t was pointed out that people
who have chestnut wood ought
to take advantage of this oppor-
tunity to get this wood to market
now while they can get this price
for it. Lumber and other timber
products will have a market
years to come after the war is
over, but not so with chestnut
wood The war needs give it

Town And Farm In Wartime
weekly digest prepared by the rural press section
owl News Bureau)

Because of the critical overall
lumber and pulp-wood shortage
which directly effects farmers,
who are large users of lumber
and wood products, Marvin Jones,
War Food administrator, indl-
Gated that farmers should help
by: CD increasing production
from farm woodlands during the
winter and CD providing labor
for forest industries during the
slack winter season on farms.
Lumber used on farms for the
construction and maintenance of
farm buildings requires three and
one-half billion board feet of
lumber annually, Jones said.

Plan Victory Gardens Now

AdH ACCOAy OuAuC 4NO"
Although Victory gardeners
exceeded their goal of Is million
gardens for 1913 by about 10 per-
cent, they are asked for another
10 percent increase in 1914. Ar
rangements should be made now
for the use of vacant land, and
considerable preparatory work
can go on through the winter.
Hard coal ashes can be sifted and
stored on plots. Compost piles
and supplies of manure can be
accumulated, and either turned
under wherever ground is not
frozen or stacked for use in ear
ly spring.
Increase In Apple Prices
Increases in apple prices over
those for 1912 will mean that a
28-ounce jar of apple butter will
cost 3 to 4 cents more at retail,
OPA says. This reflects an in
crease Of approximately soc to
S1.65 a hundredWeight in apple
prices and an increase Of approx
imately 712 cents to Is cents a
pound in apple chops. The meth
cd by which dealers in apples for
home consumption determined
their maximum prices in sales to
retail was changed. With maxi
mum prices for terminal markets
