Now that Mrs. Felicia M. Pad

has been able to construct, equip
and furnish a model school reading
room and library for $30, it seems
quite likely that every elementary
school can be supplied with its im
portant educational feature. The
demonstration was made at the
Bagely Training School, which is
the teacher training laboratory of
the Northeastern ’ Teachers’ Col

model reading room contains six

Lady's Painful Trouble
Helped By Cardui
Why do so many women take Oar
dul for the relief of functional pains
at monthly times? The answer Is
that they want results such as Mrs.
Herbert W. Hunt, of Hallsville, Texas,
describes. She writes: "My health
wasn’t good. I suffered from cramp
ing. My pain would be so Intense it
would nauseate me. I would just
drag around, so sluggish and 'do
less.’ My mother decided to give me
Cardui. I began to mend. That tired,
sluggish feeling was gone and the
pAins disappeared. I can’t praise
Cardui too highly because I know j
It helped me.” ... If Cardui does not!
help YOU, consult a physician. 1
bookcases and one magazine rack.
The decorations were done largely
by students.

I have read with great interest
of the initiative and progress of
the women of Talladega, Alabama,
who organized the first women’s
Chamber of Commerce in the
United States. Other groups have
followed their lead and are doing
excellent work. The Talladega
women, under the guidance of Mrs.
Ida E. Elliott, president of their
organization, are doing for women
what the men’s organizations are
doing for men. The women stress
building their home city from an
educational, health and artistic
standpoint.

Action is what the women be
hind the peace movement need,
Mrs. Angela Booth says. She was
at the Internatonal Peace. Month
gathering of the National Council
of Women in Australia and sug
gested that women should make
themselves such a power that the
governments would have to listen
to them. She even hinted that a
world-wide demonstration by wo
men for peace would help.

Destroy Cotton Stalks
Before Winter Sets In
Every day that cotton stalks are
left standing in the field after!
picking is completed increases the
possibility of boll weevil infesta
tions next year.
Weevils feed on the stalks, and.

the stronger they become and the
better chance they have of surviv
ing the winter, said C. (H. Brannon,
extension entomologist at State
College.
But if the stalks are cut and
plowed under early, the weevils
will be hungry and emaciated by
the time winter sets in and they
will have but little chance of living
until spring, Brannon continued.
It is especially important that
, stalks be destroyed before the first
! killing frost, at the least. Destroy
j them sooner if possible, Brannon
I urged.
Cotton opened early over most
of the State, and this is an ideal
season for early picking and early
destruction of the stalks.
Brannon emphasized that by de
struction he means cutting a^nd
plowing under. Never burn the
j stalks, as burning destroys plant
rood that should be left in the soil.
He also pointed out that plow
ng under the stalks is a good
farm practice even where there are
io weevils, as thes talks will rot
ander the ground and add organic
matter to the soil.
In view of this fact, plowing
under stalks for boll weevil con
trol is really no extra trouble, as
it should be done anyway by all
good cotton farmers.
To get the best results in weevil
control, he added, whole communi
ties should cooperate. If one grow
er leaves his stalks standing, weev
ils from his fields may infest his
neighbor’s land.
