Answer; The old, hardened paint brush may be reclaimed by soaking it overnight in paint thinned, or if not too hard, in gasoline or turpentine, Bays Howard Ellis, Extension agri cultural engineer. After the old paint is softened, scrape it off with a putty knife or comb it out with a steel comb or brush. Next, wash the brush in warm water with a mild laundry soap. Allow it to .thoroughly dry by wrap ping—not too tightly—in heavy paper or cardboard. Question: Is it possible to stive vegetable seed for next year's Victory Garden?

(1) Don't take less than one pound at a'time to your meat dealer; (2) Don't take your fata tat glass • tainers or paper Hags; (8) Dont allow fats to stand so long that they become rancid, because, if they do, the glyc erine content is reduced; and (4) Don't take your fats to the meat dealer on week-ends when he i ly the busiest. ■ ill Beach, of Ho^wil",' vZ, spent the week end here viflPlr. aad'WM. -W, V.

Their distressed cries bring: other birds in the neighborhood ready to sympathise, if not to join in the attack. Strange to say, squirrels, one of the worst robbei£ of bird's nests, rarely cause an alarm to be sent in. When unusual cries are made by the birds the Bird Club i-eqwgts that in vestigation be made especially dur ing the nesting season, for an en emy, usually a cat, is lurking near. Charles Fitzgerald read an article on the importance of drinking and bathing water for birds, especially during the long droughts when the sufferipg of birds and animals is very severe. Birds should be en couraged to live near homes by pro viding plenty of food and water form the first line of defense against noxi ous insects. If it were not for the constant scouring of the land, trees, the air and the waters for their na tural food, the cost pf insecticides would multiply. Even then it is doubtful if the rising tide of insects can be kept down. Crows, like other birds, make a charge for their ser vices, but all nature says "you cant get something for nothing." privileges:" tax exemption for State and municipal securities, exemption from taxation of 27 % percent of in come from oil wells and mines, and separate income tax returns by married couples. The House Naval affairs Commit tee, after investigating 40,000 con tracts, said "98 percent of the War Contractors are doing an honest 'and effective job and receiving only fair and reasonable profits," the average -being 8 percent. Scrap Salvage Campaigns. President Roosevelt reported the recent scrap rubber collection drive added 454,000 tons to the Govern ment's stockpile—exclusive of rubber in small piles still at service stations and junk dealers. WPB Chairman Nelson asked State and Local Gov ernments to lend their trucks and workers to local salvage committees to help transport scrap material col lections before winter sets in. To keep steel furnaces going at full capacity, more than 760,000 freight cars .will be required to carry scrap iron and steel, most of which must be moved by trucks to rail points. The WPB extended the tin can sal vage program to 104 cities in addition to 36 Metropolitan areas previously announced, because de-tinnin» {riant capacity requirements have been in creased from,250,000 to 400J00Q tons. The Board said the Government will requisition from junk dealers all useless automobiles—those that can not be repaired on a practical ba^is— to maintain the present peak'move ment1 of automobile scrap to mills. On the basis of a questionnaire to 350 firms, the Board estimated 100 million pounds of essential chemicals could be realized in the next 18 months if manufacturers of war equipment began now to recover wasted spray paints. r PARAMOUNT 1 THEATRE 1 FARMVILLE, N.
