IT'S NOT HARVEY

If you see a tame rabbit hopping
around, don't think it's Easter.
James Ashton, SIG Fulton-st,
notified police Monday that his pet
rabbit had dug its way outof the
pen.

One task that a h0memakel
usually delights in doing is re
decorating her home, or just get
ting some new curtains or drap
cries, or perhaps simply buying q
new lampshade. Something new OF
different for her home will give
her just as much of lift as
would a new hat or dress, and
goodness knows, If you're feminine
you'll get that lift. In decorating
their homes, some ladies have a
knack of getting just exactly the
right kind of curtains, or placing
just the right bit of decor on the
mantel or coffee table, and when
you go into that home, you have
feeling that the rooms are just
waiting for you to sit down and
make yourself comfortable, they
have such welcome air. Just such
a homemaker with this knack is
Mrs. Joe Banchich, of Oak Harbor
She seems to have sense of color
harmony that is outstanding, the
c0l0rs in her home blend so beau
tifully, and it really has finished
look about it. 1t has individuality,
not that "store-bought" appearance.
Dorothy likes to make curtains,
she made her living room curtains
of white muslin with a wide, full
ruffle, she prefers not to tie them
back, says she likes them better
hanging straight. I've done lot of
sewing, but curtains are something
l haven't tried, and think | will
try now, after seeing how nice
Dorothy's look on the windows.
For average width windows, she
uses yard wide material for each
panel, with the ruffle 8 inches
wide. She makes ruffled valance
on a separate rod for the top of
the window. In one of the rooms
she has some green muslin curtains
with dark green ruffle, it sure
gives richness and finished air to
the room.
Each year lot of interested peo-
pie attend the Threshers' Conven-
tion at Montpelier, Ohio, and they
have one grand and gloriuS time.
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Ref, of Gray
town, went to this affair this year,
just as they do every year, and
Minnie tells me that there sure is
a lot going on and a lot to see.
They went on Saturday, and saw
the big parade. Minnie tells me
that there were lot of old thresh
machine engines in the parade,
some of them pulling floats of
every size and description. One Sec
tion of the parade was automobiles,
from the very old ones gradually
building up to the new ones, evi-
IDENTIFY there was model from each
year. One float was particularly en-
joyable, there was a long-table on
a wagon depicting the dinner table,
there was large group of men
setting around the table, presum-
ably eating. On each corner of the
table lady was standing, waiting
on the table, and another girl was
busy waving tree branch over the
table, chasing the flies away.

ories, though? / remember when l

so long ago) how excited we would

THE
FARMERS WIFE
BY GRACE LUEBKE

get when the thresher would pull
into the farm. Someone would
come and tell my grandmother a
couple of houses ahead of time
when they we're expected to ar
rive, and then would begin the
hurried preparations of getting
dinner or supper ready for about
Is or 20 hungry men. Grandma did
her cooking and baking on a coal
or wood stove in the kitchen, and
believe me, sometimes it would be
so hot in the kitchen that you
couldn't have felt any more un-
comfortable if you'd actually crawl
in the oven There would be a big
washtub filled with water on a
chair outside for the men to wash
for dinner, and after they finished
eating it would take us the rest of
the day to get the dishes done.
Sometimes / think that our farm
children nowadays are really miss
ing lot, farmers are so inde-
pendent now, they each have their
own machinery and very seldom
work together Farming is getting
to ibk so technical, what w6tla
modern machinery, weed and in
sect-killing chemicals, etc.
Today's Bit of Nonsense
Driving to town one morning, a
farmer and his wife passed lake.
The wife, conscious of their fire.
quent quarrels and spats, said. Spa,
look over yonder at that goose and
gander a7gliding along the water
so nice and peaceful. Wouldn't it
be wonderful if people could live
so peaceable?"
Long-married Pa drove on in
silence.
Just before sunset, the couple
passed the same lake on their way
home. There, silhouetted by the
setting sun, were goose and gan
der gliding along the water.
"Pa," said the wife, ''look at the
goose and gander, still real peace
able. Wouldn't it be wonderful if
people could live like that?"
"Ma," said the farmer, eff you
look a little closer, you'll notice
that amt the same gander!"

Some homemakers successfully re-
heat macaroni dishes for a second meal,
but most cooks prefer to make only
the amount that will be eaten at one
meal. Ages and activities of family
members are determining factors in
deciding how much of macaroni prod
uct to prepare. A good average for COM
bination dishes such as casseroles is
one ounce macaroni per person Keep
in mind that hungry teen-age boys may
eat as much as twice that amount.

TboAgbts on Life
Vacant Lots
By DR.. JOHN HOLLAND

THE CITY of Chicago is having
trouble over its vacant lots. 1t seems
that when some people have trash and
rubbish to dispose of, they gravitate
to someone's vacant lot and dump it.
In addition the vacant lots accumu-
late each summer a lush growth of UNI
cut weeds which act as catchers of
WIndblown paper and leaves.
There is a city ordinance requiring
the owners of vacant lots to clean them,
cut weeds, etc., but it does not seem
to work. And there you are.
Vacant lots, however, are not the
only things that get cluttered UP with
rubbish. How about the vacant mind?
Down through the centuries in proverbs
OF all peoples that have a literature is
this truth, variously stated: "An idle
brain is the devils workshop
1t is amazing how much trash an
idle mind can accumulate. Unfortu-
nately, I can still dimIy recall some
of the vicious things which were cast
into my mind by evil speaking men.
Then I learned a secret which I hope
you also have discovered: So long as
kept my mind upon something worth
while did not remember what they
said.
| am thinking about one of the funda-
mental laws of nature. You recall that
we learned this in school: 1.-TWO things
cannot occupy the same space at the
same time" Jesus stated this truth
in the moral realm better than anyone
| know. He was talking about the heart.
and said something like this: "a foun-
tain cannot send forth both sweet water
and bitter
Do some Of you remember the VIC
tory gardens we all tried to plant in
World War II? Thousands of old va /
cant lots that had become eyesores to
those who love beauty were p1owed up
and planted to vegetables and flowers.
The New Testament relates an Incl
lent in Jesus life that is rarely men
Toned. Once He cast an evil spirit
rom man. but the man did nothing
about it, leaving his cleansed heart
Empty. What happened? The evil spirit
eturned and finding his heart empty,
rought several other evil spirits with

tate of this man was worse than the
