KEEPERS FINDER
By CHARLES PALMER
The chauffeur pulled the long
black car ovsr to the side of the
dusty road, and the elderly gentle
man in the tonneau leaned forward
to open the door for the two hitch
hikers. The slim, nervous one with
the beady black eyes sat on one
side of the elderly gentleman; the
large, sleepy one on the other.
The elderly gentleman’s hands
were folded benignly in his lap His
friendly, rather vague eyes peered
at first one, then the other. He
broke the silence. “My name is
Vandermoor, gentlemen. And
you?”
The slim, nervous one sat up
sharply. “Any relation to the Van
dermoor bank family?”
“Yes,” said the elderly gentle
man, stroking his gray goatee. “I
have that honor, if
you call it one.”
“Then,” said the
slim one, “this is
your lucky day.
Ain’t it, George?"
The big one took
his hungry gaze
from the passing
orange trees long
enough to grunt agreement, and
turned back to contemplating the
luscious fruit.
The slim one fixed the elderly gen
tleman with a gimlet eye, and
hooked a taut finger confidently in
his lapel.
“Have you ever neglected the
birthday of a loved one, and spent
sleepless nights of regret?” he
probed intensely. “Have you ever
slipped up on remembering an an
niversary and gone to the doghouse
as a result—or failed to congratu
late a friend on a promotion and
gotten the fishy eye the next time
you met? Have you?”
“Well, yes,” apologized the elder
ly gentleman, "I have. I am a trifle
forgetful at times," adding defen
sively, “but then, most people are."
“Ah,” pressed the slim one, giv
ing the lapel an impressive shake,
"my point exactly. Most people are,
like you, forgetful, and they suffer
for it. They suffer because they
know the slight or omission was not
intended and realize too, that the
neglected one is certain to wrongly
interpret it. Maybe a long friend
ship will be strained, or a wife or
daughter hurt.
“But, suppose you were to sudden
ly find yourself in a position where
those slights and omissions never
happened any more! Wouldn’t you
be delighted—especially if it meant
no effort on your part, no strain,
no time; in fact, nothing beyond
the payment of a very small fee?”
The elderly gentleman nodded. “I
Imagine most people would be as
delighted as I."
"My point again!” cried the slim
one. “Now, George and I are at
this moment on our way to Los
Angeles to initiate just such a serv
ice. We plan to call it The Tell-
You-When Co., Inc.
“All you have to do is give us the
names of the people whose anniver
saries you want to remember; with
the dates if you have them, other
wise we will look them up for you.
“Give us too, the names of people
whose promotions, marriages,
births, deaths and so on you want
to mark with a gift or note; and
our clipping service will watch the
papers and other sources of infor
mation. When an item pops up on
the calendar we keep in your name,
we notify you—and for a small ad
ditional fee we will even write an
appropriate note, or purchase and
forward a gift. Now, tell me: Does
that fill a long-felt need?”
The elderly gentleman’s eyes were
bright with interest. "Amazing,
young man! Exactly what I need.
Put me down as your first sub
scriber.”
“You see!” said the slim one.
“You snapped at it. So will others.
Which brings us to the heart of the
matter, doesn’t it, George?” George
turned from the oranges long
enough to grunt a second agree
ment, and turned back to his con
templation. An orange would go
very, very good just now. The slim
one grasped the elderly gentleman’s
lapel again.
“Mr. Vandermoor, I called this
your lucky day. It is. You, being
a Vandermoor, have money which
you are probably willing to treble
on a proposition that can’t miss.
George and I have such a proposi
tion, but no money. Now, why can’t
we get together on this thing?"
“Hmm,” remarked the elderly
gentleman. “How much capital do
you estimate your venture will re
quire?”
covert calculation. “Well, there’i
advertising—office rent, telephones
and help—livings for George and
me—all only until the golden flood
begins to roll in. Say; oh say, five
thousand dollars. That should be
sufficient to launch the business.”
The elderly gentleman drew a
checkbook from his pocket, and un-
limbered his fountain pen. The
beady eyes glistened. The elderly
gentleman turned to the back of a
check and began to figure. The slim
one exhaled sharply, opened his
mouth to speak, but thought better
of it.
In a few moments, the elderly gen
tleman stopped figuring, and looked
out the car window, stroking his
goatee reflectively. He shook his
head slowly.
“No," he said. “1 believe your
calculations to be in error. You
will need at least ten thousand dol
lars to get your proposition under
way.”
The blood slowly flowed back into
the slim one’s cheeks. Mr. Vander
moor turned his checkbook over and
poised his pen.
“I am a man of quick decisions,"
he told the slim one. “I am con
vinced of the worth of your idea,
and of your ability to carry it
through. Your name?” The slim
one supplied it, and the elderly gen
tleman wrote out the check, tore
it from the book, and handed it to
him.
“And now, I see we are almost
home. If you young men will come
in with me, we can draw up some
informal papers to cover the mat
ter, and then I will have my driver
take you on to the city to start your
company.”
The car swung from the highway
and stopped smoothly. A uniformed
attendant hobbled from the gate
house to unlock the ponderous iron
grilles which effectively barred the
driveway.
Suddenly the slim one bent for
ward. His eyes rested on a small
bronze plate set in the stone pillar.
“Sunnyside Home for the Mentally
Diseased,” he read slowly, choking
as the words sunk in. He turned
toward George, flicking a rather
hopeless glance in his direction.
George turned away sadly—to again
appraise the oranges. The slim one’s
eyes dropped to the flourishing sig
nature on the check he still held in
his hands. “Napoleon Vandermoor,”
he quoted.
His lips tightened murderously for
a moment, then he grinned sheep
ishly.
“Okay, Napoleon,” he said. “I bit.
Your name ain’t Vandermoor, but
just to even it up, George and me
ain’t starting any Tell-You-When
Service, either! Because somebody
else beat us to it a year ago, see,
and all we wanted your dough for
was to skip the country before the
dicks caught up to us.” He kissed
the check regretfully, then tore it
into little pieces and tossed them
in the air, watching them flutter
down.
“Come on, George," he said, "or
anges for breakfast.”
“The elderly gentleman watched
them trudge down the road, and
stroked his goatee contemplatively
as the car rolled up the drive. It
stopped in front of a brick building
with barred windows, and he stood
beside the car for a moment.
“Harvey," he said to the waiting
driver, "wait here for me. I’ll be
only a moment”
The chauffeur touched his cap re
spectfully.
“Yes, Doctor Vandermoor,” he
said.
Early Day Painting
In the days when paint recipes
were kept in the family cook book,
our colonial ancestors knew about
making paint out of skimmed milk,
which is basically the same idea as
the modern casein paint of to
day which has a milk base. Colo
nial dames mixed skimmed milk
with salt, boiled rice, coffee and egg-
white when they wanted a batch of
paint for freshening up their
houses. And a painted house was a
matter of social prestige. It was
considered presumptuous for a
tradesman to paint his dwelling.
Gradually, though, as the idea of
equality penetrated, the butcher
and the baker and the candlestick
maker decided they had as much
right to paint their houses as the
doctor, lawyer and ship owner.
The slim one inspected him with

Plans for Your Club
Early in the Season
This luscious combination of
pumpkin and pastry with a prune
and whipped cream topping
makes a good combination that
has plenty of sales appeal.
Perhaps many of you who are of
ficers of clubs already have planned
your programs
for the whole ■
year. Undoubted- I

number of fund ™ JLEgjSjKjjjR

signed to take
care of worthy
causes.
One of the most successful cam
paigns of many groups includes sales
of goods baked by members. In
this, of course, cakes, cookies, et
cetera are donated by the women
and purchased by the club mem
bers, so all profit is clear.
Now that sugar, fats and flour
are back again on a prewar basis in
supply, at least, it’s possible to plan
a bakery goods sale of this type.
In case there’s a problem about
what to include, I’ve lined up sev
eral sure-fire recipes which can
serve as the nucleus of the sale.
Pass them out to those who don’t
know just “what to make.”

If potatoes don’t seem as white as
they should be when you are mash
ing them, beat a small amount of
baking powder into them.
Use a hot blade for slicing fresh
bread, a wet blade for cutting
fresh cake, and a very thin, sharp
blade for slicing cookie dough.
Keep the inside of your coffee pot
clean by boiling a solution of soda
and water in ilyat least once a week.

Phenothiazine Will
Kill Nodular Worms
Common Insect of Hogs
Present on Most Farms
You’ve heard so much about
swine roundworms that you may
think they are the only internal par
asites that cause hog losses. If so,
you’re wrong. You're overlooking
the nodular worm.
The USDA says the nodular worm
is perhaps the most common worm
parasite of swine, and that in some
states, practically all hogs raised
under ordinary conditions may be
infected.
Research workers in animal para
sitology are beginning to suspect
that nodular worm injury to hogs
is far greater than was heretofore
believed. Nodular worm infections
cause considerable losses to the
meat industry because the intes
tines studded with nodules, result
ing from nodular worm injury, are

weak and tear easily, and this de
stroys their value for use as cas
ings. These losses, of course, are
passed along to the hog raiser in
the form of lower prices.
Hogs entertain four species of
nodular worms. The nodular worm
gets to be only about a half inch
long, hence is not as readily seen
as the roundworm, which gets to be
as thick as a lead pencil and more
than a foot long. Hog raisers see
ing roundworms may blame them
for trouble caused by the smaller,
harder-to-see nodular worms.
Phenothiazine is the only effective
remedy for removing nodular
worms. It destroys more than 90
per cent of them. Phenothiazine is
easily given in feed—in fact, that
is the safest way for a hog raiser
to administer it.
Cattle Horn-Fly Trap
Considerable success has been at
tained in Australia using a horn-fly
trap constructed in a gateway or
lane through which the cattle must
pass once or twice a day. The pas
sageway through the trap is 33
inches wide and 100 feet long.
The glass in the roof is coated on
the inside with DDT and protected
from the cattle by coarse screen

wire. The animal passing through
the trap has to brush between and
under two sets of curtains, and eight
weighted strips, brush her legs and
belly, dislodging the flies which rise
to the light and contact the treated
glass.
Rnaplasmosis Gains
Foothold on Range
Anaplasmosis is a febrile, infec
tious disease, transmitted from sick
or carrier cattle or by ticks, horse
flies and other biting insects. Young
animals are seldom affected.
The treatment is still in the ex
perimental stage and is largely a
veterinary problem. Animals af
flicted with the malady should be
kept in the shade, given plenty of
clean water, a little green feed,
and protected against flies. Intro-
venous injection of mercurochrome
has been used with success as well
as a modified sodium-cacodylate
treatment
Remedy for Black Rot
Disease Among Grapes
Use of bordeau mixture 4-4-100
plus one pound of rosin fish oil soap
per 100 gallons of spray mixture is
recommended for those vineyards
where black rot and downy mildew
have been serious. This spray is
applied just before bloom, just after
bloom and two weeks after bloom.
If rainfall is above normal, it may
be necessaary to make a fourth
application two weeks after the third
treatment.
