FOURTH AND FIFTH GENERATION DESCENDANTS
DF STEEL PLOW PIONEER FOLLOW IN FOOTSTEPS
OMAHA. NED. With celebra
tions in farming communities
throughout the United States this
year honoring the memory of John
Deere who a century ago gave to
the world the steel plow, it is ie
vealed that fourth and fifth genera
tion descendants of the founder of
the far-flung farm machinery or
ganization are serving the agricul
tural community of Nebraska and
adjacent territory.
The descendants are Willard
Deere Hosford, a great grandson
and Willard Deere Hosford. Jr.
When the elder Hosford entered
the employ of the John Deere Plow
Company in Omaha, 31 years ago,
Charles Deere, a son of the founder,
was still at the helm of the entire
organization. Five years later Mr.
Hosford became assistant manager
of the Omaha branch; in 1914 he
was elected vice-president of the
branch and in 1932 he became man
ager. His son is a salesman out
of the same branch.
Both have made intensive studies
of problems of the Omaha branch
area, " hich serves Nebraska, Wy
oming. Western Iowa and portions
of South Dakota.
A firm believer in civic activity.

Although John would not openly
admit that his son's new teeth were
a matter of importance, nevertheless,
he contrived to take Jack with him
at his n-xt appointment with Dr.
Youne. "What do you think of this
fella'?" asked John as he entered Dr.

"Stout fella'," replied tho dentist.
"Pretty healthy young animal. How
old is he? About twelve months?
"Be yourself, doctor," said John.
He's six" months old this week and
he has two teeth. Thought I'd better
bring him up and have you look them
over."
"I'd be glad to look at them." re-
plied the doctor, "but there is little
ii can do for them at his age. Dr.
Hayes, your physician, can do niore
i for his teeth than I can." "
"Is that so?" said John. "I didn't
know physicians fixed babies' teeth."
"They don't." said Dr. Young.
"that is. they don't fix them in the
sense you mean they can fix them.
i however
so we dentists won't have
to tix tnem later on.
"I don't follow you
said John.
"I simply mean.

Dr. Young.

I strong as an ox. He never had a nit
; of trouble cutting thse first teeth;
j no temperature; no diarrhea; no cry
; ing. First thing we knew the teeth
were in.
"Of course." replied the doctor,
"he shouldn't have any trouble cut-
jting teeth."
j "Why," said John. "I thought
teething always made babies sick."
j "Many people have that idea, but
lit is a wrong idea," said Dr. Young.
I "Teething is a natural, normal pro
j codure. Healthy children should not
! have any difficulty in cutting teeth.
I They may have excessive drooling,
! they may fret and bite their little
i jaws together for a day or two be-
cause their gums may b sliehtly ir
Iritated. but they shouldn't be sick.
! "New foods such as cereals and
I vegetables are usually added to a
child's diet about the time his first
'baby teeth ccme in. Sometimes these
I new foods csuse diarrhea and fever.
I Hot weather and colds or other sick-
i ness may cause these conditions, and
j because the baby is cutting teeth at
jtho same time the parents blame fret
I fulness on the teething. However,
i babies that are fed and cared for
properly seldom have much difi'iculty
in cutting teeth."

Blooming Bulbs

Are Cheerful Sight Before Outdoor

Easily Cared lor.
Most brilliant flowers of the year
are the rpring blooming bulbs which
'. we grow indooi-s in pots or window i
i boxes. Their colors are amazi.-.g in j
their brityhtness. a quality which j
I many a summer border can envy.
I Many of us do not fully appreciate!
j these inexpensive house plants. Per-j
haps this is because the outdoor dis-j
'play of tulips and daffodils is but aj
few weeks away, and we are think-j
j ing of pleasurable hours to speud in j
I the garden. "Yet, early flowering
plants are the most welcome, and we i
should have at least a few of them
indoors.
The tulip family is a gay one, and
a pot of these graceful flowers give a
cheerful aspect to any room, and es
pecially a dreary one. or where some
sick person is convalescing. They
come in a myriad of colors ranging
from white and pale pink to a violet
which is almost black.
The hyacinth has almost as many
colors, but because the bloom is larg-
fewer plants are needed for the j "
er
same effect. They have the samel
waxy sheen to them. The daffodil j
completes the triumvirate of most j
popular bulbs, and it is indeed a i
cheerful one.
Fortunately for
dener the bulbs are as hardy and
easily grown in the house as they are !
outside, and they are little bother to
care for. Unlike seed grown plants. !
the bulbs have a store of plant food
