ATTRACTIVE HOMES WILL KEEP CHILDREN i ON FARMS, IS ADVICE

The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

1 ELDORADO INSTITUTE

HEADS ARE ELECTED

, ' (Special to The Palladium). "WEBSTER, Ind.,' Feb. 10. "Poor .home convenleres and unattractive homes, for which the- women are often more to blame than the men, are reasons so many farm boys and girlB flndUhe bright lights of the city more attractive than they do farm life," said Miss Leila Gaddis, of Purdue, state leader of home economics extension work, addressing the men and women of the township farmers' association at the school building Thursday night.

Miss Gaddis' talk was an appeal for better planning of the ordinary house

hold tasks, modernization and beautl fication of farm homes, and an ex

planation of home economics exten

sion work and its possibilities in helping to eliminate waste of effort and

of money in the farm home. "Farm women handle a great deal" of money, far more than city women, in many cases," said the speaker, "yet they often make no attempt at accounting." - She urged a close ac- . count of home expenses as a Eafeguard against death or sickness of the husband which might throw her on her own resources. Saving of Time Many Indiana farm homes are not equipped with bathrooms, sinks, nor running water, said the speaker, emphasizing the need for more time-saving conveniences. 'A dish drainer would pave an hour .a day; a built-in drawer in the new house, or a box in the old one to keep the aprons, towels and cleaning cloths handy in the kitchen instead of upstairs, would save miles of travel in a year; a built-in ironing board, which can be built against the wall of an old house, though a new house may be planned to include it, would save much walking and lifting every "week." " "Kitchen cabinet manufacturers have discovered that not all women are of standard height,", said Miss , Gaddis, In talking of conveniences In kitchen furniture. "One cabinet is made of an adjustable hight now.

Sinks should always be built for the

height of one who has, to work at

ihem, and placed in the - most convenient spot, even if it means extra

piping.", - - Advises Organizations

The speaker advised township and county organization of women, as an auxiliary to the farm bureau and an

aeencv through which home cconom

ics work can be done.. She mentioned home tours for spreading information

about home conveniences, dress form

making demonstrations, and cooking,

sowlnz and millinery instruction as

possible projects of such an organization. :- "i The speaker also advised more community entertainment as counter attractions to city entertainments, and pleaded for beautiflcation of home grounds,; citing her own house as an example, in which planting of five dollars worth of shrubbery had increased its sale value by $600 within a year. "Every woman is the health commissioner for her own family, and it is her duty to neglect no means to preserve her own and her family's health and happiness," said Mrs. Walter Beeson, who acted as chairman of the women's session, In commenting on the address. Explains House Miss Stella Harman, county leader of home economics instruction, also

gave a talk explaining, the course otj study in sewing and cooking in the county schools. She offered her cooperation in any home economics, work the farm women might care to take up. It was announced that the next sesion of the association will deal with i

"Good Roads" and Earl Crawford, member of the state highway commission, is expected to be present. That session will be followed by another women's program the next month.

What are the tobacco men of Preble ( county, and throughout the Miami val- j ley, to realize on their cigar leaf crops? This is the one great guess, or shall we say problem, confronting the planters, and also one in which the bankers and merchants in the tobacco district are vitally concerned. Where tobacco is the money crop everybody Is interested In the size of the crop, its quality and in the price it brings. Take the tobacco districts of Kentucky and Tennessee, the crop and price means either poverty or comparative riches. During the wartime inflation it meant "riches" and prices beyond all previous experience or expectation.

But while tobacco is "a" money crop in Preble and other Miami valley counties, It Is not "the" money crop on the average farm. But a few acres are planted to tobacco, as a rule, a

ten-acre patch meaning thousands of

plants and a world of work. Of course

there are here and there larger acre

ages, and where that is true tobacco is the money crop and the price is most important. We find a number of two to five acre plot3 in Preble and numerous farms that produce no tobacco whatsoever. Have Not Begun to Buy In our endeavor to arrive at some conclusion as to what the cigar leaf market is likely to "open" at, we have found very few who care to give their views for publication; Indeed, most of them seem to be4of the opinion that prices are likely to run below the farmers' hopes or expectations, particularly when the buying begins, but that competition for the best crops may influence an upward trend in prices later on. Practically no tobacco is moving yet, at any point in the valley. We say "practically" because here and there some speculative buyer has picked up a crop or two at as low as 10 cents, we have been told, and in no case so far reported has better than 12 cents been paid. v i The season Is now getting somewhat

late. Considerable tobacco was contracted for last year before this, dates being set for later delivery at shipping stations, when cars would be set

sold in all parts of the valley at

around this figure this year, in fact he thinks that tobacco will average

around 10 to 11 cents, on this" crop, with a few of the best crops selling up te possibly 15 cents. Nlckle Cigar to Come Back. "The idea of many manufacturers is to get back to a good five-cent cigar, and to thus increase sales," said

Mr. Hoffman. "That's my view of the situation, at any rate," said he. When we spoke of the two-for-15 kind he

reminded us that labor is high, also

the revenue tax and the packages

But he thought the drift was toward

lower costs to the trade, on the cheap

er grades, at least.

Of course Mr. Hoffman, and men in his line, are not viewing the tobacco leaf market from the position taken by the growers. Still, his views are .worthy of presentation. He says the

leaf market is now as dead as a mack- j eral, but that this is no sign that it will stay dead. Buying may begin now at any time also it may not. In

any case very few crop owners are worrying greatly. Wheat $1.25 at Brownsville Mack Wilson, of the Brownsville elevator, says there is still a little wheat on the farms in his district, and that they are now offering the farmers $1.25 to get them to sell it. As to corn, he says that it is nearly all being fed, as hogs are being bought for feeding wherever on sale, and that some have been shipped in for finishing. No oats are on sale, either, he said. Asked as to their coal trade, he said it was good and that they had been moving a lot of it lately. He reports the"' farm membership drive closed some days ago, but had not yei learned the results. Lots of Wood Burners. Perhaps Fred Schlientz was joking when he said a whole lot of folk3 burned wood In his bailiwick, and again, maybe not. He said his coai trade had simmered down on that account. Be this as it may, we do not recall having discovered any impenetrable forests in Preble county. He said he was paying $1.25 for wheat, and 46 cents for 70 pound corn. He has not seen or heard of a tobacco

One Leaf Buyer's Views.

But, after all, the marketing of a tobacco crop is not a matter of a day, or even of a month. Many growers will hold until the next crop is assured, if no tempting price is offered earlier, at least this has been the rule of many years among the stronger holders. Lewisburg, Ohio, Is a busy little tobacco Center in average years. It is a warehouse town and has at least three resident buyers, we are told. S. L. Hoffman, one of these well-known buyers, tells us that he buys for a couple of the best 'i concerns in the country and that, up to this time he has received no orders to buy, or prices at which to buy or to. offer for the different kinds and qualities. I had bought around 1,000 cases by this time last year, mostly for first of

March delivery, said he, "It is reported," he said, "that one small crop was recently picked up in this district, at 10 cents." It is his opinion

that a whole lot of tobacco will be

Mr. Crider Paying $1.27,

E. C. Crider, miller at Lewisburg, reported paying $1.27 for wheat, on Thursday, also 65 cents per cwt. for corn and 35 cents per bushel for oats, and says he is getting in some of each.

He reports flour trade rather quiet. George Richards, of New Paris, say:i there is mighty little wheat left near his town, but that he gets in a few wagon loads now and then. He can pay $1.22 on a shipping basis just now, and is buying corn at 42 cents for 68 pounds. No corn is shipped, however, but is all sold on a small margin to feeders who find it convenient to come to the elevator after it. Mr. Richards said he got a car of coal on Thursday and that it was . in such demand, it would not last over a day or so.

DRESS WARM AND KEEP FEET DRY

Tells Rheumatism Sufferers . to Take Salts and Get Rid of Uric Acid.

Rheumatism is no respecter of age, fex, color or rank. If not the most dangerous of human afflictions it is one of the most painful. Those subject to rheumatism should eat less meat, dress as warmly as possible, avoid any undue exposure and, above all, drink lots of pure water. Rheumatism is cau&ed by uric acid which is generated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine; the pores of he skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly, cold w eather the skin pores are closed thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this uric acid which kepps accumulating and circulating through the system, eventually set

tling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness end pain called rheumatism. " At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoonful in a glass of water and drink before breakfast each morning for a week. This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impurities. Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and is ued with excellent results by thousur.d. of folks who are subject to rheumatism.
