iinur irriiT rn/rc HOME AGENT GIVES PERTINENT FACTS TO COUNTY WOMEN :,*? ?*? ? ; ? f.>7: ^ (By MISS MYRTLE SWINDELL) Economic Vales of Draw Clothes are what flnaiieiari call "a (rood riak," writes Otsego, county New York, Home Demonstration Agent Elisabeth McMartin. They have self-reliance, poise and the appear ance of success. It certainly is true that we Judge people to some extent by the manner in which they dress. If one feels conscious that one's clothes are not quite up to the stand ard, it is well nigh impossible to ap pear self-reliant and perfectly at ease. There is a certain poise given " by the mere fact of feeling well groomed. Women have been criti ;/- cised for spending too much thought on dress. The criticisms should be that women do not spend sufficient intelligent thought on the subject To understand good dressing shows . wisdom, not vanity. Brings Cloth** Up to Data In order to feel well dreaaed, the line* of garments should accord with the trend of fashion. Renovating or making over garments takes time and thought, but surely pays in the end. Look over last year's wardrobe and freshen up garments by adding an attractive collar and cuff set, or a touch of simple wool or chenille em broidery or beading. See that the line* of the skirt accord with the present styles. Cleaning and press ing play an important part not only in making over of garments, but also in the every day appearance of what we wear. Women's Responsibility Women have a powerful weapon as purchasers. It is not the trade man's office to tell us what we should have; his dirty is to distribute what we de mand. It is our business to see that the demand is intelligent. The trades man should be the apothecary, not the doctor. "The old saying that the human person is composed of three parts? soul, body and clothes? is more than a joke," says William James. Henry Ward Beecher is more moderate in his statements when he says that "clothes do not make the man, but they make him look a whole lot bet ter after he is made." < _____ Wood Ftowon Get wooden button molds of as sorted rfses, enlarge the centers with sharp scissors or pen knife by turn ing the roint round in the hole. Next cover the hole with a close button hole stitch using a darning needle. Then use a steel chochet hook and make a picot of 6 chains into each stitch of the buttonhole edge. The leaves are made by chaining 12, skip 8 and make 3 de, 3 te and 8 ch into the chain. For larger leaves go around again putting one dc into each stitch of previous row. A home and its surrounding must be attractive in order to be the most uplifting to the family, visitors, and passers-by. Farmsteads especially need atten tion in order to secure satisfactory conditions. The farm house and the farm hntfnese are ae eloeely related that the success of the latter is re flected in the appearance of the for mer. ? ' 4?"'??> " ? ' '?* AH the buildings with their immed iate surroundings mast be consider ed. The roads and walks; the home vegetable, fruit, and flower gardens; the lawne; and the ornamental plant ings are also important factors in de termining the plan. Bach building needs ?land about it to give it a proper appear ance and provide the necessary yards or work room, and each should be so located with respect to other build ings as to facilitate the work of the farm. Koads and walks should be limited * to the number necessary to facilitate dally traflk. Vegetable, fruit, and flower gar dens must provide liberally for the family needs. . The lawn should be so located and of such rise M to give n phasing setting for the heme, bat not large enough to make their earn burden some. ja&??-4 Suitable plantings are necessary to unite the parte of a farmstead in to a pleasing, homelike whole. Trass are need for windbreaks, as frames for the buildings or a background to; them, and to giv* shade. Shrubs are needed la abundance to hide par tially the foundation line, of build lags, support their corners, give reason, for tans in drives or walks, and to screen unsightly objects. Na by trial to thrive la the locality are What*s Going: on in Your Town? And what*s going on in your county, tn North Car* , Una; in the United Statoa, and beyond? The first requirement for a keen interest in life-* for happiness, therefore,?is a knowledge of events hi your own world and the world outside. There is one way, and one way only, to get this knowledge. Read The Newspapers! Your own local newspaper first, of oourse, but others too, if y^u can possibly afford them. And remember that when you read newspapers you get not only aews but also the fruit of the world's wisdom. For newspapers record the words and the work of the greatest doctors and lawyers, the greatest scientists, scholars, preachers and philosophers, the greatest bankers, merchants and statesmen.

HE MADE A MISTAKE We made a mistake in last week's issue of the paper. A good subscriber told us about it. The same day there was a letter in our post office box that didn't belong to us. We called for 98 over the phone and got 198. We asked for a spool of No. 80 thred am} got No. 60. The train was reported 80 minutes late. We arrived at the depot 20 minutes after train time and the train had gone. We got our milk bill and there was a mistake of ten cents in our favor. We felt sick and the doctor said we were eating too much moat. We hadn't tasted meat for two months. The garage man said the jitney was missing because it needed a new timer. We cleaned a spark plug and it's run fine ever since. Yes, we made a mistake in the last issue of the paper. ? Morgan County Republican, Brush, Colo.
