Arkansas jpjgjtsBfc cm Phone 430 1210 Caldwell St. IN THE MIDST of a forest there was a shrewd mouse-trap manu facturer who turned out a depend able item. Son Joe worked long hours making steel springs by hand. Mother kept the books and wrote the letters. Dad did the assembly work and finishing. There were no sales problems. Customers already had beaten a path to his door — and formed a waiting line. But there was beefing in the line. Deliveries were slow and service was bad. Finally one day, in a stack of third-class mail, Mom found an advertisement for spring-winding machines. It was very timely because Joe’s work bench was the bottle neck. Nobody else could make springs and he was always rushed to keen up with Dad. So Dad bought Joe a spring-winding machine. Prosperity TURNING out a Acquired better trap than ever, and a lot more, per day, business was fine. Prosper ity came. Dad was flush, de clared Saturday afternoons off and raised pay all the way around. About the time the gen eral good feeling was at its height, Joe married a cute little communistic viewpoint. Then it was that the rodent extermination industry started to undergo com plete reorganization. The little c.v. convinced Joe that he ought to have a half in terest in the business, and there wasn’t much Dad could do about it. After the 50-50 partnershin was formed, the c.v. started tell ing Mom off right regularly, making quips about faked ac counts, and gifts from buyers, to shock the F.T.C. Mom had to keep books with the c.v. looking over her shoulder, eating an apple. Prosperity FINALLY the junior Destroyed partner made bold to demand a spot on the payroll for the c.v., at Mom’s pay, with authority to watch Mom and keep her honest! That was the day the spring-winding machine broke down. Repairing it seemed Quite useless to Dad, what with a shop full of headaches, padded payrolls, no profits, and all de partments working at cross pur poses. He’d just quit! After Dad and Mom left, labor costs increased and Joe missed a few payments on his new spring winding machine but the little c.v. devised a solution: Raise wages avain and boost the price of traps. This brought an unpleasant re action from the customers and the waiting line melted down to a third of its average length. Joe sensed trouble and ran after the customers but didn’t catch many. Early one morning a man came in a truck and took the spring winding machine away, leaving the whole crew wondering where to look for a job. They say the machine was offered to Dad, cheap, but he was not interested. By this time, old crafty Dad was busy with research on an odor less electronic, destined, in due time, to put mouse-traps off the market entirely.

UNIFORM TRADITIONS The braided cross on the caps of officers originated with Marine of ficers in the days of sailing ships when in sea battles vessels were grappled together and crews board ed the enemy’s ships. Marines used to perch in the rigging and snipe at the enemy, and Marine officers, fully appreciating the marksman ship of their men, fixed crosses of rope to their caps so that in the melee after boarding they could be easily distinguished from the foe. The most important, results of producing vegetables on the farm is the improvement which may be ex pected in the health and food habits of the family—not the saving of mon ey spent for those supplies. Medical authorities and food specialists say that to be healthy and strong and ac tive one should eat plenty of fruit and vegetables. Do not allow tomato plant to grow long legged. Transplant them to other boxes or frames and give each plant room to become stout-stemmed and stocky. If well hardened they may be set in the open ten days earlier. In setting tomato plants do not follow the old rule of setting only as deep as they stood in the seed bed. This is not deep enough. A good tomato plant is about eight inches from the root to the top, and about as large as a lead pencil. Set the plants so that half the stem is below the surface of the ground. Plants set in this manner will have roots enough to resist d r outh, be sides roots will come along the part of the stem that is under the ground. Early kinds of vegetables that were planted in February and March, such as beets, cabbage, car rots, cauliflower, kale, lettuce, mus tard, peas, spinach, etc., need to be cultivated frequently and thoroughly, and should be given a side dressing of nitrate of soda. Scatter this be tween the rows without getting' it on the plants. Culivate the ground with wheel hoe. You can kill as many weeds and pulverize as much crust in an hour with a wheel hoe as you can in at least three hours with an old-fash ioned weeding hoe. In order that an unbroken supply may be had make another planting of the vegetables planted during March. Beets from seed may be transplanted when they are too thick and missing places filled or new roots set. Make plantings now of the following vegetables: Bunch beans, pole beans, lima beans, squash, cucumber, okra and corn. Mrs. O. H.
