Roof cement or putty is good for stopping leaks in the roof or chim ney. This material comes in air tight cans and hardens soon after exposure to the air. Clean the opening, then fill it’with the putty, using a large putty knife or small, pointed trowel, and smooth the surface. Do the work in dry weather. This roof putty will cement a composition roof to a brick or stone wall. There is also on the market a new “plastic wood” that is fine for filling small holes and cracks in weatherboard ing. If not stopped up, these holes and cracks will begin to decay when moisture gets in and will let in cold air in winter. tXX A simple remedy for scorch stain is to moisten the stain with water and place in the sun. For more serious cases a piece of cloth moist ened with hydrogen peroxide may over the stain, covered ^Jth a dry cloth, and the spot iron- w *th a medium hot iron. If the hydrogen peroxide soaks through, replace the upper cloth. Be careful to see that the hydrogen peroxide does not touch the iron as it will causue it to rust very rapidly Rinse the garment thus treated before ironing. This method must be used carefully on colored fabrics as the dyes may bleach out.

Cool and fold in the stiffy beaten whites, of two eggs, half cup of cream whipped stiff, a few drops of van illa and a few grains of salt. Put in molds or cups to stiffen. Salted Nuts— To one tablespoon of melted but ter add one-half tablespoon of salt and a cup of blanched almonds or shelled peanuts. Stir together and let stand one hour before brown ing in the oven. Cheese Omelet— Add finely cut cheese to a regu lar omelet mixture. Cook in but ter, stirring the cheese to the bot tom of the pan until it is melted. Then proceed as for ordinary om elet. Fruit Muffins— To your recipe for graham muff ins add a half cup of coarsely flopped English walnuts and pieces of dates and figs broken in pieces about the size of a pea. These muffins are rich enough to be served without butter and re main fresh and moist enough to be used at luncheon or supper the day they are baked. Baked Hominy And Cheese— is made by boiling hominy until tender and then pouring it into a baking-dish and mixing it with white sauce in which a good deal of cheese has been melted. The whole thing should then be baked until light brown. Crumb Omelet— for breakfast is made by adding a cup of soft bread crumbs to a regu lar omelet mixture to which a tablespoon of milk for each egg has been added. Stuffed Baked Tomatoes— are delicious when filled with a variety of vegetables. Diced pota toes make a good foundation, with a thickened tomato sauce. Then add whatever cooked corn is left. If there are any other left-over vegetables, add them too. Every thing is good—beets and peas, beans and celery. Bake slowly, un til the tomatoes are tender and their contents slightly browned on top. Serve plain or with cream or tomato sauce. Toasted Corn Muffins— or indeed any toasted muffins, are good, and form an admirable means of using left-over muffins. Flaked Fish Salad— is made by freeing cold, cooked fish from all bone and skin, adding minced green or red pepper and celery, and serving with well-sea soned French dressing on lettuce leaves. jxt A Retired Pro moter Recalls “I’ve seen Carolina land that I sold for $5 an acre bring $150 or more an acre,” says Joseph A. Brown, “father” of the famed Chadbourne development in Co lumbus County, North Carolina. “There’s lots of land in this section of the Carolinas that is as good buy now as that which I sold to new settlers back in the 90’s and early 1900’s” he declares. “In fact. I know of nothing that I’d put money in quicker than in improv ed farm land now being offered at sacrifice prices. Within another five years there will be a revival of eager demand for land in both North and South Carolina. No body can tell when the revival will be^m. It will come on unex- ectedly, and now is a good time o prepare to benefit from it.” r, was mostly cut-over unimprov ed land that Mr. Brown induced people from as far-away as Iowa and Maine to buy and settle on in tho vicinity of Chadbourne thirty- odd years ago. Those settlers made the locality one of the rich est farming communities in the South. For many years Chad- bourne has been one of the coun try’s foremost strawberry shipping places, 800 to 1000 carloads of the fruit having gone from there of ten in a season. “I’ve seen as much as $500 worth of products taken from a single acre of this land,” says Mr. Brown now living in retirement. “Land that is ready for occup ancy is the kind which, I believe. ing fashion and through all the changes and chances of fashions that have elapsed since the first introduction of sweaters they have managed to survive. Now with the returning of truly feminine fashions they in turn have become more becoming and more pictures que than ever. They reflect the new sleeve fash ions showing melon-shaped fullness at the elbow or a pronounced puff between elbow and shoulder. Most of the new sweaters are made in pullover fashion, though gome of the waist-length or short hip- length models are made with cross over fronts that tie at one side. A new idea is to have your sweater embellished with embroid ered wool flowers. The sketch shows this fashion. The sweater is made with deep ribbed cuffs and hip band, full sleeves and side sur plice closing. The large rose de sign is embroidered in wool on the left side. The new sweaters are made to fit fairly closely at hips and waist but they have consider able fullness through the shoulders and under the arms. x Com Honors Captured By Lexington Clubster DAN BICKLEY TAKES STATE FAIR SWEEPSTAKES FOR THIRD TIME 8 CLEMSON COLLEGE, Oct. 26.— Dan W. Bickley, Lexington county 4-H club boy, won State Fair sweepstakes for 1931 on his out standing ten-ear exhibit of Bel mont corn, according to records of the state boys’ club agent here. Winning first honors in the show ing of corn has become a habit with Dan. In 1927, and again in 1930, after winning sweepstakes at the South Carolina State Fair young Bickley won the handsome cup offered by the Southern Rail way for the best ten ears of corn grown in the south Atlantic states served by the system. He has high hopes of retaining the cup this year. South Carolina 4-H clubsters and others interested in 4-H club work were proud to have on display in the corn booth two handsome cups representing high honors in 4-H achievement: the Moses trophy won by Carroll Brannon of Snar- tanburg county for being the best all-round clubster in the United States, the highest award which can come to a club boy; the South ern Railway trophy representing the crown of the growing, and showing of corn. Over a ten-year period South Carolina 4-H clubsters have aver aged 39 bushels of corn per acre while the state average is only 15 bushels per acre, says Theo Vaug han, assistant state boys’ club agent.

On What Was Cheap Land 20 Years Ago “I bought this place in 1911 be cause it was cheap and it was cheap because it was run down,” says J. P. Ivester. whose place, be tween Anderson and Beltoji, in An derson County, is an impressive ex ample of what can be done with cheap land. The place was ser ried with gullies and much of the soU had been washed away when Mr. Ivester bQUght it. But it is now one of the most attractive small farms in this section. “I’ve made no fortune off it but I have never run behind and don’t expect to,” says the present owner, who has reared seven children. He balances his farming between cot ton and variety products, such as garden truck and fruits. x If the lower part of the kitchen, wall, which receives the hardest wear and gets soiled soonest, is mr ked off four or five feet above thr floor by a wooden strip and pa:nted or stained a different tone' frer^ the rest of the wall, that part, can be cleaned or refinished with out making the uppor wall look shalifcy..'
