‘M. E. ’ Boosts Paint Roller
By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
My goodness, the middle of
July!
Time to feed the glads again
if they're starting to get flower
spikes. Do that by making a
shallow trench along the side of
the row, about four inches from
the plants and putting in, or
scattering along, half a cupful of
balanced plant food for every 10
feet. Cover with about two inch
es of soil and water down well.
Then when the flowers start to
appear, cut them just as soon as
the first two florets open. That
way, the bouquet opens in the
house and lasts for days and
days.
Now is the time to order iris,
Oriental poppies, lily bulbs that
can be planted in the fall, pe
onies and such bulbs as crocus,
hyacinths, daffodils, tulips of the
many kinds, and such spring
flowering bulbs. Even if it’s only
a dozen, new bulbs, do get in an
order.
Last fall I planted red emper
or, fantasy parrot tulips and
Darwins, and daffodils and we
had an array over several weeks
that was so fascinating and so
beautiful. I think this year’s fan
tasy tulips were the prettiest we
ever had.
This year i ordered Darwins
and blue, yellow, purple and
white large flowered crocus
bulbs, some of the large hya
cinths and some of the double
peony tulips. I intend to put the
crocus around in the lawn. They
peek through so early and it
seems so wonderful to have col
or when it’s still cold!

Yardage Sometimes
Prettiest in Bolt—
Dear Blanche
I am just going to try and put
down on paper a few of the “let
ters” I’ve written you in my
mind. It’s one of those things that
can be put off from one day tc
another, for I always think I
don’t have anything interesting
to write about.
I wonder if many of the read
ers did spring sewing as I did. I
took advantage of the sales go
ing on in the various stores on
yardage. It seems like each year
the beautiful material becomes
S’""""—"—
more appealing. The combination
of colors and such gets better.
I just wish I had a dress of
each piece, so I chose some of
my liking. Sometimes it looks
prettier in the bolt than after
it is made up. Then sometimes
it is the other way around.
When gathering material, with
out putting the attachment on
the sewing machine, lengthen the
stitch a little. Just sew with the
machine and pull up one thread
on each stitching. It will be still
nicer and always stays put.
I keep an iron hot wnen sew
ing and press seams as I go.
While you ladies are making
pretty dresses, aprons and such
for yourself and for the children,
try making shirts for your hus
bands and older sons for every
day.
Just see what a saving you can
make. I would rather make a
shirt than a dress, as there are
not so many different styles, a
sport, short sleeve, or a western
style is about it.
Do you ever make a hot pan
holder on your apron, at each of
the lower comers? I don’t espe
cially care for them, but other
people do.
To make a rag rug that re
sembles a braided rug, take a
wooden crochet hook and chain
the strips and sew in desired
shape as you go. This is faster
than the braided work.
With house cleaning coming
up, use a paint roller to roll on
all your paint jobs. You will be
ever so glad you did. Now, hav
ing taken up your time and
space, I will say clean your spec
tacles with a little rubbing alco
hol and cleansing tissues and
see how they shine.
Wishing you and all the read
ers the best of everything.
“M. E.”
SAYS SANDHILL SAL
One of the easiest ways to beat
the heat is to keep busy. It is
the honest truth that if you have
work to do and are interested in
doing it, you won’t notice the
heat quite as much.
You have to drive for the other
fellow, as well as for yourself.
The life you save may be one
you brought into the world.

Rabid Skunk
Attacks Dog
CREIGHTON—A definite case
of rabies has been reported in a
skunk shot on the John Crab
tree farm southwest of Creigh
ton, Dr. D. T. McGill, veterinar
ian, reports.
The skunk came onto the farm,
bit a couple of dogs and started
chasing Mr. Crabtree, who shot
the animal. The head was sent
to the state laboratory and the
report gave a positive indication
of rabies.
Doctor McGill says other farm
ers in that area have been both
ered by rabid skunks but the
skunks have been shot with no
further action taken.
There is a danger that the
skunks will infect dogs or other
animals who in turn will bite
humans, thus causing a serious
situation, Doctor McGill warns
and advises farmers to be wary
of possible rabid animals.
