Secretary of Agriculture Clin

lowing letter this week through
Miss Verna Stanton, assistant
state agent for the State College
Extension Service, in marking the
second annual observance of Na
tional Home Demonstration week,
;
May 4-11.
Addressing his remarks to the
"Women in Home Demonstration
Work.” the Secretary said:
“American womanhood has
long enjoyed a freedom and re
spect accorded to women in no
other part of the world. As in
every other phase of democratic
life, this position of esteem car
ries with it some definite respon
sibilities. It is in the home that
i the pattern of the culture of a
people is established. The cradle
i of democracy is in a nation’s
; homes and families.
“We may be happy that our cul
j ture is one tiiat emphasizes ad

i t. 'if the U. S. Department of j
Ajm jcuttur'- .-•<* both the 'taxd&.l
cloth is used on hot glass, earth
enware, or pottery. A wet cloth
cools the dish suddenly where it
touches, and this is likely to re-1
suit in a crack or break. For the!
same reason, a hot dish of any of J
these materials should never be |
taken from the stove and placed
on a wet table or in a wet sink.
Glass cooking utensils should be
thoroughly dry on the outside
when they are placed on the
stove. Even a few drops of water
on the outside of a glass coffee
maker. for example, may cause
uneven healing and result in
cracking or breaking.
Neglect is the cause of many so
called defects in pianos. To keep
moths from getting into the felt,
place a camphor bag inside the
case. Keep the piano away from
any heating unit and from the di
rect rays of sun. Keep furniture
polish or oils, which discolor
ivory, away from the keys. Clean
them only with soap on a very
slightly damp cloth. All fine
woods need occasional sudsings
to remove accumulated layers of
wax and polish that after a time
give a greyish look. Clean care
fully with warm suds allowing
surface to dry well before re-ap
plying polish.

Price Reduction
—OF—
10 to 25%
Effective Immediately
In compliance with the President’s request and in full cooperation
with the government's effort to cheek inflation and stave off an
other disastrous depression, we are slashing prices on every item
we sell, from the lowest-priced to the highest-priced.
We are glad to give our customers this saving ranging from 10 to
23 per cent. W e believe that their response to this price reduction
policy will mean an increased volume of business for us which will
offset any losses that otherwise would be incurred by the cutting of
prices.
FOR 35 YEARS
We have followed a policy of fair dealing with all our customers,
and have always given them top-duality merchandise at the lowest
prices possible. .
ant Lower Prices—
■And So Do We
The wise buyer will do well to lake advantage of these drastic re
ductions we are offering during the entire mouth of May. Pay us
a visit and see for yourself the excellent values we are offering to
those who want and need good furniture at reasonable prices.
