HOME BEAUTIFUL JUNEAU'S NEWEST
 STORE K OPENED

Home Beautiful" Juneau's new est and possibly loveliest commer- cial establishment, opened yester- day on the ground floor of the Goldstein Building amid a flourish of congratulatory bouquets and a steady stream of first-day visitors and customers.
 Designed by manager Homer Garvin, blueprinted by Foss and Malcolm architects, and built by Walter J. Stutte, the two-floor store well deserves its name, Home Beautiful"
 , Thanked on either side by huge heavy plate mirrors, the main room is filled with a type of shiny new merchandise that in many cases has never before been offered for sale in Alaska.
 PosttCar Stock
 All postwar stock, the new store offers everything from kitchen items to lush-colored Charles of London living room sets for furnishing the home. Many items such as chests of drawers. are made of solid birch. The latest tyre radios, electric clocks, record players, etc, are ar ranged in esthetic complement to the larger items spaced around the store.
 Besides ultra modern furnishings, there are simulated antique pieces with claw feet. A super-structure shelf above the main room is drapsd with richly y-threaded tapes tries and furniture samples.
 One side of the rear of theStore is devoted to a completely stocked music shop" filled with records, record players and radios. This is equipped with two addition rooms, soundproofed and covered exteriorly with Philippine mahogany.
 Special Features
 The entire store has been com pletely carpeted and is decorated with permanent paintings, fixtures and appointments that total more than $l0,000 in cost,
 The upstairs floor is devoted to curtains, draperies, carpets, rugs, blankets and nursery furnishings. The display of curtains is done through an artistic method never before tried in Juneau. Each cur tain sample is mounted on a real window that opens to reveal sur plus stock. Tapestries and drap- cries are arranged on real doors opening into more stock shelves.
 Besides tone-on-t tone rugs, beauty thread rugs, and various solid col cored carpets, the store has com plete line of Numdah, or goat skin, rugs made in British India.
 Household ConUenienceS
 Such war-scarce items as steam irons, electric clocks, mixmasters, and other household conveniences were going like the wind" on the stores opening day. A number of carpets had been sold and the complete stock of one type kitchen tables were gone.
 Although the store has a consid- erable reserve stock of all items, MT. Garvin is hoping for an early settlement of present shipping diff ficulties in Juneau.
 I'm glad everybody likes our stock so we'll" he said, but I'd hate to sell out the whole store the first week and then have ordered supplies fail to land in Juneau

College Extension Service

Bozeman.-With fabrics that
catch fire one of the causes
leading to the loss of $500 lives
annually from farm fires, Lora
V. Hilyard, extension clothing
specialist at Montana State
college, recommends the fire
proofing of children's clothes.
curtains, and other types of
household fabrics to reduce the
fire hazards found in many
farm homes.
The best fireproofing solu-
ton as suggested by the De-
partment of Agriculture bulle-
tin, "Fireproofing Fabrics" con-
tains seven ounces of borax,
three ounces of boric acid and
two quarts of water. When this
solution is applied acidic gases
resulting from the burning of
coal and Illuminating gas will
have but little injurious effects
on the fabrics.
FireprOOfing solutions SuggeS-
ted in the bulletin may be ap-
piled to the fabrics by dipping
or spraying them with a COM
mon garden sprayer. For effec-
tive fir~eproofing, the material
being treated should be thor
oughly saturated with the solu-
ton. Fabrics hard to soak will
be treated best by using soap
flakes or powdered soap in the
solution.
Fireproofed fabrics founo
near open fireplaces, living
room stoves. flues or open fires
will not burn if they are ex-
posed to the flame. When fire
proofed. the fabrics will char.
thus preventing the spread Of
a fire.
Other facts about fireproof-
ING fabrics will be found in the
bulletin which can be obtained
through county extension ag-
entS.

These problems can be over
come by feeding grain to heavy
producers even though they are
on excellent pastures, Tretsven
noted. Where possible, farmers
will find that shade and good
water will keen their COWS pro-
ducing steadily, he added.
BY pasturing herds in a part
of the hay meadow after the
first crop has been removed.
production can also be kept up,
he said. Use of an electric
fence will keep the COWS away
from the other crops. AS extra
feeds, Tretsven said that the
farmers can give their COWS dry
hay or green crops such as
oorn, oats. peas or alfalfa when
the milk flow falls off. Increas-
ing the amount of grain fed as
conditions warrant will also
help.
With good management,
Tretsven concluded that COWS
can produce an average butter
fat output of from $50 to 300
pounds per COW per year in
stead of the ITS to 200 pounds
that results from the later sum-
mer slump.
With an average butterfat
production of 1928 pounds per
COW, the Bitter Root Dairy Herd
Improvement association led all
Montana associations in June,
announced J.. o. Tretsven. ex-
tension dairy specialist at Mon
tana State college.
In second place with 31.9
pounds was Fergus county anc
third was Lake county with 31.5
pounds. Other counties finished
as follows: Gallatin, 29.9
pounds; Yellowstone, 29.o
pounds, and Madison and JET
ferson counties association, 20.o
pounds.
Tretsven said that there are
now 1870 herds with 1890 cows
in dairy herd improvement as
Sociations in the state. During
June he said that dairy farm
ers in the association culled Is
low producing cows from their
herds.

bility. Both yolk color and firm
