the basis of your <3 P>cnic dinner at home is the V* one sure way to know that everything will go smoothly when the picnic grounds are reached. Sandwiches, salad, punch, coffee in cheese-cloth bags, bacon already sliced, eggs carefully wrapped — these are the things that can be arranged before starting out. Tasty Picnic Treats In making sandwiches it is important to choose a kind that will not be dry tasting and yet will not be too moist. Wrapped carefully m paraffin paper, they should reach the picnic in perfect condition. Well liked foods should be chosen, so as to be sure that no one will go hungry, and then by some new quirk in seasoning they can show their versatility. Some recipes for picnic sandwiches are:

GOOD SOIL IS BASIS OF ATTRACTIVE LAWN “A good soil is just as necescary for a fine lawn as in the production of any crop. The ideal lawn soil is deep, well supplied with fertility and is of the proper texture, composition and texture to hold moisture. Such soil will grow fine sod in sun or shade,” is one o f the statements contained in the leaflet, “How to Make and Maintain a Lawn,” recently reprinted by the Agricultural Extension Department of Purdue University.

LITTER ON BROODER HOUSE FLOOR IMPORTANT FACTOR Some materials used for litter iin the brooder house will keep j the floor in a sanitary condition and be comfortable for chicks, while others have proven to be less desirable. The litter must serve three purposes according to Leon Todd of the Purdue University poultry extension staff. First, it must absorb moisture in order to keep the floor dry. Second, it must be light in weight so that the dropping are easily covered. Third, the soft material will make the floor more comfortable for the chicks. Wood shavings available at the planing mills or sold in bales make a satisfactory litter and are used by many successful Indiana poultry raisers. The shavings will keep the floor smooth, and are easily moved when cleaning, My. Todd pointed out. If straw is used it is best cut into three or four inch lengths for the first four weeks of the brooding period. The cut straw will cover the droppings quickly and be more comfortable. When chaff is used care should be' taken to avoid dust which will interfere with the chick’s breathing. Mold on either straw or chaff will cause serious losses when it gets into the chick’s lungs. Alfalfa or clover leaves are often used. The chicks will eat some of the leaves, which requires frequent cleaning of the litter in order to prevent eating material covered with droppings. When more than one inch of litter is used on the floor for young chicks there is a tendency to allow it to stay in the house longer than is advisable for the most sanitary conditions, stated Mr. Todd. The floor is easier to clean and will be more sanitary when the litter is removed at least once a week. - Q Ihe International Advertising congress tq be held in Berlin next August will be attended by 5,000 delegates from twenty different countries. England will send 300, France 100 and it is expected 3,000 from the United States.

TERRACING OF HILLSIDES CHECKS SOIL WASHING Terracing of farm land which is more or less broken and which washes badly is being started again this year in the state, with demonstrations by the division jof agricultural engineering of | the Purdue University Agricultur a 1 Extension Department. IG. O. Hill, rural engineer, has 1 conducted several of his demonI strations this spring, one re- • cently in Cass county and another the past week m Blackford county. will be held in May near Madison. ’The terraces are used on hillsides which have been cropped and then permitted to remain bare, exposing the loose soil to every rain. As a result, many farms have been ruined or badly damaged by erosion. The terrace is merely the plowing of furrows around a hill in such a manner that the surface water is carried down a hill easy instead of rushing straight down the side, carrying the fertility of the soil with it. During the last several years, terracing demonstrations have been conducted in 23 counties of the state and many farmers have reclaimed worn out or badly washed fields by following the plans laid out by the Purdue men. “The fall of the terrace should in no case exceed six inches in 100 feet,” said Mr. Hill. “The distance between terraces is entirely governed by the steepness of the hillside. Special care should be used in selecting outlets for the terraces. If natural drains cannot be found, it may be necessary to seed the outlets to sod to prevent them from washing. It is always easier to save soil than build it.” Mr. Hill cautions the farmers who build their own terraces always to start at the top of the hill and work toward the bottom, instead of at the bottom and work toward the top as .some of the builders have done. b The trouble with raising children is that you never know exactly how it ought to be done until your own children have grown too big to practice on.

.MAIL CARRIER IN DISTRESS The following article was called to our attention, and we thought someone other than a fellow carrier could help out Mr. Marks with the information he finds himself in need of. His predicament is as follows: Summerville.—l have been, in the service a good many years, but there is one problem I have not been able to solve, so I’m going to put it up to my brother carriers. Surely out of 43,000 some one w-ill send a solution. When the weather warms up, how do you all keep your shirts from bunching up. under your ears? I tried sewing a string fore and aft, tying the ends together where they would do the most good. That kept the shirt down, but I was raw where I’d rather not be. Next time I sewed on an elastic and the blamed thing broke loose at one end just when the strain was the worst and I nearly went through the roof. I then tried a pair of my Wife’s corsets, and aside from peoplestaring at because the bulges were in the wrong place, the contraption chafed me under the arms. I next fastened some elastics from the tail to the tip of my sox, but the first time I went down the street a crowd of small boys started to follow me and I then noticed that one string was loose and was trailing and the boys were trying to step on the loose end. Please hurry your answers; the weather is getting warm, and I hate to refuse a lady a parcel simply because I won’t turn my back to get the parcel from the tonneau. Embarrassingly yours, Harry Marks. _Q AMBASSADOR DAMES Selection of the recent vicepresident, Charles G. Dawes, for Ambassador to Great Britain, promises a new feature in diplomacy. Mr. Dawes is one of those who uses words, not to conceal, but to express thought. Unless he has acquired the art of applying the soft pedal, there will be n o misunderstandings between the two great nations and it is not probable that he will wear knickers except on the golf links. Throughout his public career, Mr. Dawes has shown a faculty for increasing his reputation in every service that he has undertaken and no one fears that he will fall down on, this job.

M ATCH YOUR CHECKS It wil 1 probably startle the average citizen to learn that forgers and check-raisers reaped a harvest of almost $100,000,000 in this country in 1928. Financial experts point out that a great many people who would take the utmost care of a dollar bill, will write a check for any sum and hand it over to a stranger. Often the check is made out in lead pencil, and figures are suppled in a haphazard manner. All a crook needs is an eraser and he can change the figures to his own liking. It may take a minute longer to obtain ink and make out a check as it should be made out, but the time thus expended is, from the standpoint of p r o t e c t i on, worth the effort. Don’t take chances for you never know who may handle your check as it makes its rounds. You have no j means of knowing whether or

QjiTERE’S an eloquent description the housewife’s troubles bet- > fore the advent of commercial canning. Mrs. G. B. Morrison of Lincoln, Neb., said in a recent speech: “Oh! how we all dreaded ‘puttin’ up time.’ The cherries we had to pit—the apples we had to pare—the hours we children had to sit and deprive gooseberries of their heads and tails; the hot little parsonage kitchen, with its roaring cookstove; the pickles to pickle—the jams to jam—and sometimes they wouldn’t. No — those aren’t happy memories . . . Ten Husbands—Eighteen Wives “We hear many beautiful songs and stories of the pioneer mothers,” she continued. “What happened to them? They died. They died young. It took two or three of them to bring up one family. The pioneer

Use a little more care, and thus render your chances for escaping the forger much greater than they will be if you make out and pass out checks in a haphazard manner. o For strawberry shortcake, just make your usual biscuit dough slightly richer than for biscuits, One-third to one-half cup of fat for each three cups of flour is a good proportion. A little sugar may be added if you wish. Brush the under round with butter so they will slip apart easily. Prepare the strawberries at least an hour before they are wanted. Select the most attractive berries for the top, sprinkle with sugar and set aside. Cut up the others, mash a few to make the juice run, sprinkle with sugar and let stand. Butter the shortcake while hot, spread with berries, and add whipped cream, sweetened and flavored with vanilla, just at serving time.
