farm purchace loan provided the
compensation. plus the anticipated
income from the farm, is sufficient

against lending to veterans who are
not qualified for farming by ability

practical farm experience should
have at least one years training on

We're going to do the best We can
to meet the veterans problems.

1t Takes the Right Man

frightful screams coming from a
house. He ran up the steps to in
vestigate, and found that a little
boy who lived there had swal-
lowed quarter, and his mother,
not knowing what to do, was fran

the situation, caught the little fell
low by the heels, and, holding him
up, gave him few shakes, where
upon the coin dropped to the floor.

of relief, "you certainly know how

DEPOSIT IN KETTLE

Question: Can you tell me how
I can get rid of the lime that has
settled on the inside Of my cast
aluminium kettle?
Answer: There are several ways
Of removing that hard water de-
post. Fill the kettle with water
mixed with cider vinegar in the
proportion Of a cupful to a quart.
Bring to boil and allow to stand
overnight. Another way is to mash
three or four raw potatoes in the
kettle with a little water. After
standing for several hours, more wa
ter is added, and the whole is
brought to boil. To prevent scale
from forming, keep an oyster shell
or fiat stone in the kettle.
In hard water sections of the coun-
try, a teakettle with a spout is not
SO practical as an ordinary sauce
pan. (Have you thought of installing
a water softening unit after the
warp The following item was sent
In by one of our readers: 'My moth

Of remaining hot water and set them

STUD SPACES

Question: In my house the spaces
between the studs are open to the
cellar, and run all the way to the
attic. The house is is years old,
and the builder tells me that those
spaces should be closed. What adj
vantage would there be in closing
them?
Answer: With those spaces open
to the cellar and attic there is a
continual draft through them. In
winter this draft tends to chill the
house, and, at all times, it would
suck a cellar fire into the walls.
There Is every advantage in closing
those spaces.

Drier Basket Stuck Fast

Question: We bought a second
hand washing machine. The direc-
tons said to remove the agitator
and drier basket to clean the tub
after each washing is done. The
drier basket evidently is so caked
with soap that it will not bulge.
The manufacturer suggestion was
to force it out with rope, but still
the basket won't bulge. What can
you suggest?
Answer: Try soaking with a hot
solution Of washing soda, about two
pounds to the gallon of water. Al
low to soak for "a hours or SO, then
try to remove the basket. It may
be that the basket is damned on
the shaft. A machine-shop mechan-
ic or your plumber may be able to
remove it for you.

You can't see legume bacteria without
a powerful microscope. If you could,
you wouldn't know whether they were
good bacteria or bad. There is one sure
way to get plenty of effective inocula-
ton -. just ask for NITRAGIN when
you buy. NITRAGIN is the oldest
most widely used inoculant. For IS
years farmers have used it to get bigger
yields of alfalfa, clover, soybeans, and
to build soil fertility. 1t costs only few
cents an acre; but frequently boosts
yields up to 500 and more. 1t pays to
inoculate every planting of legumes.
Get NITRAGIN where you buy your
seed. Look for the yellow can.

Wavy Shingles

Question: What makes a new as
bestos single roof full Of waves, in
stead of lying fat? Is there any
remedy?
Answer: Asbestos shingles are
rigid. You probably have asphalt
shingles on your roof. These, when
put on over wood shingles without
filing in the hollow spaces at the
butts OF the old shingles, will follow
the contour of the roofing under it
when the heat of the sun softens the
asphalt. Bevel or ''feather-edge"
wood strips should have been used to
make level surface for new shin
giles. Nothing can be done to elimi-
nate the waviness except to relay
the shingles.

had rings made of glass or clay.
Ways were known to treat the clay
so it would wear very well and would
have blue or green color.
Many ancient rings were simple
bands. Others had gems in them,
and still others were "signet rings"
In the signet ring, a wide piece of
metal took the place of a gem. Words
were cut on the metal, and 1t was
pressed into wax or moist clay as a
kind of signature"
Many kings wore signet rings. In
stead of signing his name on a let
ter, a king might press the ring on
wax or clay.
Signet rings are not common
nowadays, but they have found some
use in modern times. A modern
signet ring usually has the initials of
the owner, and 1t can be pressed in
wax which is used to seal letter.
The ancient Jews may have been
the first people to wear wedding
rings. At any rate, rings came to
play an important part in Jewish
wedding customs.
Iron rings were the most common
in ancient Rome. For a long time
the Romans used nothing but iron
for rings, but the time came when
gold rings were worn by senators,
judges and other high officers.
After emperors began to rule
Rome, the use of precious metal in
rings grew more common. During
one period all free Roman citizens
were allowed to wear gold rings.
Freedmen could wear silver rings,
but slaves had to be content with

If West had opened his singleton
heart, all would have been easy for
South. East's jack would have been
killed on the first round, and after
drawing trumps South would simply
have given up trick by leading his
deuce to dummy's nine, after which
his hand would have been high.
But West was too wise. He opened
the four of trumps.
After winning this in his own
hand, South laid down the ace of
hearts. Then he saw the only abso-
lute1y sure way to make his con-
tract. He led the deuce of hearts
and gave up a trick Immediately.
Now no play could prevent South
from trumping his heart ten with
the high ten Of spades in dummy,
after which South could draw
trumps and win the remainder with
his high cards.
If South had been greedy enough
to want all the tricks he might
have made the mistake of playing
the heart king after taking his ace.
West would have trumped this and
led another trump. Now South could
trump only one of his losing hearts
in dummy and would have had to
lose the setting trick to East at the
end.
