City Boys Learn
Cowboy Tasks
At Farm Camp

CURTIS, NEB.-Everything asso-
ciated with the word cowboy
from riding, herding cattle and las
so swinging to the daily chores nee
essary on a ranch which is not a
dude ranch"-is being taught at
summer sessions at Boys Ranch
camp here.
Designed primarily to give city
boys an opportunity to become ia
millar with country life and to un-
derstand how people in rural areas
live and work, Boys Ranch camp is
sponsored by the Nebraska school
of agriculture, a state high school
connected with University of Ne
braska.
The camp uses all the schools
educational and agricultural facili-
ties on 400-acre farm equipped
with modern buildings and animal
herds. Visits are made to nearby
ranches to permit the boys to see
farm work in process but there is
no classroom work. Courses, how
ever, are given in farm mechanics,
motors, aeronautics, stock judg-
ing, butchering, forge, electric wir-
ing and welding. An athletic pro-
gram is supervised by regular
coaches.
At close of the course, the young
cowboys display their skill in han
ding animals by staging a rodeo
and those interested in raising prize
animals compete in a livestock, con.
test.

Odd l2-Foot Alphorn Calls
Cows. Announces Worship

A quaint, deep-toned alphorn, 10
to IL feet in length, is still in use
in certain parts of the Alps for
two purposes-to call the cattle
home at milking time and to an
nounce the evening worship hour.
This peculiar Swiss instrument,
of ancient origin, is mentioned in
chronicles as far back as the
Ninth century. 1t is made of,wood,
bound with bark fiber, and its
wide mouth rests on the ground.
In appearance it is as a huge
smoking pipe.

In remodeling your kitchen it is
a good idea to redesign it as
precautionary measure against
fire. To do this be sure curtains,
doors and wooden cabinets are not
too close to the range.
Poisons like I've, insect sprays
and disinfectants should be kept
on high shelves, out of children's
reach.
Make your own belts. Make
them in various colors to match
your frocks. Put layer of stiff
ening between two layers of rib
bon. Sew through ribbon sell
wedges with tiny machine stitch
ing.
An electric motor mounted on
stand or bench often is quite
noisy, so much so that the vibra-
tions can be felt in nearby rooms.
The cure is sound-deadening
cushion of rubber or felt. Four or
five rubber washers placed under
the base will do the job.
If you'd like to preserve eggs
at home by the flash heat method,
proceed as follows: Dip the eggs
into boiling water for five seconds,
let them cool in the air, then store
them carefully in cartons in cool
moist place.
If you carry stamps in your
purse, fold them and slip waXed
paper dividers between the
gummed surface folds. Divided
this way, stamps will never stick
together.

Mary continued to cry. "I'm not

Private Ditch

VIDOR, TEX.-Herbert r. Hop
son, operator of filling station at
a crossroads hear here, got tired of
motorists running into a nearby
ditch. Hopson generally had to help
them out, and frequently he didn't
get even a simple "thank you" for
his efforts. He solved the problem
by erecting a sign which reads:
"Private ditch; keep out" Not one
car has gone into the ditch since.

Sprinkle cornmeal on your rugs,
let it remain for a short time and
then sweep. This picks up dirt and
particles imbedded in the nap.
You can save many steps by
using a tray TO carry dishes from

WOrn-out electric cords are

Cuba, Canada, England, Germany,
Sweden, India and the Philippine
islands.
Many States Represented.
Also indicative of the wide popu-
larity of the school is the fact that
students are enrolled from ID differ
ent states. Although the majority
of students come from Midwestern
states, New York, New Jersey,
North Carolina, Oregon, Utah and
Montana also are represented.
The blind, including some who
have been sightless all their lives,
comprise the majority of students.
Many, however, lost their sight or
were otherwise disabled in the re-
cent war. All are seeking training
which will enable them to be self
supporting and to carve out their
own careers in the realm of bust
ness.
