coming months. She decided she
would do some knitting, try to
sell her goods, after all, she had
to live!
She thought she would have TO
knit" her way out of the diem
ma. Desperate, she wrote to some
people in Oregon, asked for a
$500 loan.
But luck came once again to her
rescue. The other day she opened
a letter. Her eyes got bigger and
bigger, she felt like crying and
laughing at the same time. Finally
tears rolled down her cheeks. She
smiled, looked as though she had
never been happier in her life.
She was going to get $500 as a
gift.
Members of wOman's club in
Oregon, whom she had become
acquainted with, had heard of her
plight, decided to help her by
giving her some of the clubs
funds.
Sylvia, aided by the grace of
good fortune, is going to continue
her studies at the University of
Washington and some day she will
probably launch a new career in
America.

of heartfelt gratitude, america
and the American people have
been so good to me. How can |

In general, building construc-

In fact it is difficult to find a new

americans are simply too gen.
erOus for words" says Miss Sylvia
Kjeldstad, Norwegian student who
recently enrolled at the University
of Washington.
Whether we really are that
generous is hard to tell, at any
rate, Sylvia has been quite lucky
from the time she decided to go
to America and she has, so to
speak, hurdled over number of
obstacles in U. S. with consider
able ease.
In 1913, when she was a teacher
in an Oslo grade school, she read
an advertisement in a newspaper
to the effect that Norwegian
couple in Chicago wanted a house
maid from the native homeland.
Sylvia, who felt shut up during
the war and wanted to get out
in the world, wrote to the couple,
saying she would do the job and
would like to study on her spare
time. In the meantime, she told
another Oslo teacher about her
plans.
Come home with me- he said
my sister-in-law and brother from
Salem, Oregon, are over here
visiting. They might be able to
help you
How about the red tape?
Sylvia got a lot of help. The
Oregon couple was willing to do
virtually anything to take her
over with them. But, at the time,
they were going to leave for
America in about three weeks
How could Sylvia ever expect to
wade through all that red tape
and get a visa before that time?
She thought she would have To
wait several months.
Luck came to her rescue and
before she really knew it all her
papers were in order and she was
aboard the Batory, heading for
America with her new friends
from Oregon.
SiX-dOIlar lessons
Aboard the boat, she became
acquainted with a professor from
the University of Wisconsin and
through him she met professor
from a New York university. They
were good company and she had a
lot of fun.
The New Yorker was interested
i'm Scandinavia and she gave him
lessons i'm Norwegian, for which
she received six dollars. Sylvia
was low on money and she had
only one pair of shoes with her
when she arrived i'm New York.
SO she bought pair of shoes with
the six dollars.
Luck, luck, luck
Sylvia toured the u. S. with
the Oregon couple and remained
as their guests. when they arrived
iii Salem about this time last year.
But trouble was looming. Because
of visa restrictions she was sup
posed to leave the country last
January. Luckily she got an ex-
tension for three months. At the
end of that period, she faced the
same problem. Luckily. she got
another extension. Now she is sup
posed to leave the country by
November 10 this year. Luckily,
she is now a student and she fig
ures she has a good chance of
being able TO remain here on a
student visa. which she is now
trying to obtain. No doubt, her
good luck will prevail.
This was really a jam
Sylvia experienced ano h 9 r
stroke of good will a few months
ago when a couple living in Wash

Sylvia was facing another tough
problem only the other day. She
found she didn't have enough
money to be able to continue her
studies at the university through

BLUE CROSS
FOR FARMERS
To Stress Advantages During
a Non-Group Enroll
ment Period
COVERS HALF OF STATE

The Delaware Blue Cross Plan
will stress its advantages to farm
ers during a non5group enrolment
period Monday through Saturday
of next week, it was announced
by officials of the Plan recently.
Since Blue Cross was originally
organized to protect employees
through groups in industry and
business, it is felt that agricultural
areas have not been made COM
pletely aware that its residents
also have access to membership, it
was pointed out.
Although over half the states
population now is covered by Blue
Cross contracts for hospital costs
and surgical bills, many farm fam
lilies remain unprotected, the an
nouncement said. Consequently,
Kent and Sussex Counties will be a
focal point for enrolment during
the week beginning Monday, it was
added.
All other Delaware residents
self-employed, working where less
than five are employed, or not en-
ployed will also be eligible to join.
Age limits are from 18 to SIS. All
members of families, however, may
be included in contracts.
The Blue Cross officials reported
that latest enrolment figures of
162,509 are covered by 1000 en-
ployee groups, IA community
groups, and non-group members, in
the State of Delaware.

1. Keep poultry that can use
feed most efficiently. Use breeds
best adapted for the production of
the commodity desired, with heavy
breeds, maintain laying flock of
all pullets, keep only the best birds
of the light breeds for second-year
production, market all two-year-
old hens at the end of the laying
season, and sell all males not
needed as breeders.
2. Prevent feed wastage. Use ef-
ficient types of feeders, fill hoppers
no more than two-thirds full, store
feed in a dry cool place off the
floor, and control rats and mice.
8. Make it easy for hens to eat
feed. Provide at least 80 feet of
feeding space for each 100 hens.
locate feeders in well-ighted place,
adjust reels or wire guards so birds
do not hit head while eating, use
hoppers no more than 6 inches
deep and provide plenty of water
at all times.
4. Provide good grass range for
stock. Get chickens on
grass as soon as practical, provide
range shelters for pullets at 8 to 10
weeks of age if brooder house can
not be moved, keep range clipped
at about 4 inches, move hoppers
and water fountains frequently,
and scatter grain away from shell
ter on grass area.
5. Gull constantly.
6. Market at an early age when
ever profitable to do so.

producing most poultry products,
ways of lowering feed costs be-
come all important, says ]. Frank
Gordy, extension poultryman for
the University of Delaware.
Gordy warns that it is generally
poor economy and wasteful to
think of saving feed costs by using
a lower priced feed, for the true
value of bag of feed is measured
by the results rather than the price
per pound. Use a good quality
feed and full feed it at all times.
Six ways in which poultrymen
can save feed to increase profit are
outlined by Gordy.

Mad Ann and her horse, Liverpool,
| always were welcome at every cabin.
The black horse was almost as well
known and liked as the woman her
self. Ann often gathered the simple
| hearted mountaineers around her and
| related stories of her adventures and
trials, the sadder parts bringing
many tear to rough cheeks.
Swore and Got Drunk
The woman swore like a trooper
and often got pretty drunk. She
could box with the skill Of prize
| fighter, never became sick and had
much intelligence. Mad Ann could
read and write. Nobody ever called
her Mad Ann to her face.
Mad Ann Sergeant Bailey
related that it was too general
custom in England during the early
1700s to kidnap young women ana
| ship them to America where they
were sold for tobacco as settlers
wives. If the girls refused to get
married they were bound out-sold
to work out the cost of their passage
and possibly some profit. So it was
that Ann had bought her freedom

A news story published in the
Gallia Free Press of December 8
1925, at Gallipolis, puts the period
after Mad AIMS long and checkered
career. Here it is, word for word

chinked with straw and rags mixed
with mud and the outside chimney
was of mud and four feet high but
the Fireplace inside would take in
sticks of wood FIVE feet long.
There was no furniture, not even
a bedstead and old accounts relate
that the place looked more like a
pen than a cabin. But it was Mad
Ann Bailey's castle and she lived
there in naughty, sullen and solitary
content.
Mad Ann chewed tobacco, smoked
Va pipe and kept her hide pretty full
of good-and bad-whlsky. She
had coarse voice like man ano
dressed in moccasins, a pettleoa'
with a mans coat over it and wore
a mans hat. She sometimes walked
to Gallipolis after supplies and some.
times came there in canoe. Always
she carried rifle and had her shot
pouch over her shoulder.
Tough as a mule and nearly as
strong, Ann had much sense, was
high spirited and brooked no tritling
Very particular in observance OF the
Sabbath, she would call children into
her shack and with tobacco running
down her chin, teach them their
Sunday lessons. People of the com
munity fairly idolized her and plieo
her with gifts-mostly whisky.
Hated Indians
Old accounts state that Mad Ann
during her life in the Indian country
carried a rifle. powder horn ane
bullet-pouch, tomahawk and sealpint
knife. Blaming them for the deatl
of her first husband, she hated In
dians and was said to have finished
off her share of the savages.
During the Indian wars she Otter
served as messenger and riding
Liverpool, frequently carried dis
patches from the fort at Covingtol
to Point Pleasant. On such occasion
she slept in the woods. 1t was he
custom to turn her horse loose, thel
walk some distance back on his trai
to escape being discovered by tn
