The industry ap proves this misspelling for one day because of historical evidence that Abraham Lincoln, as a boy, had difficulty spelling turkey cor recently. Often as not he wrote tirkee, historians say. Peters, Pribils Buy Dailey Land— E. C.

Family Fells Tree for Kicks ®»' BLANCHE SPANN PEASE, Heme making Editor How many of you save the laundry labels from the articles which you purchase? Most reput able articles these days have tags or labels attached, telling exactly how best to wash them. This goes for blankets, sheets, linens of all kinds, dresses, shirts, nylon, orlon and dacron shirts and dresses and various other articles. It pays to follow the directions which come with the article if you want it to retain its beauty, sheen or size. The manufacturers have found out for you the best way of doing these things and you’ll have better results if you do as they say. Have a special place to put these tags, perhaps an empty en velope in your stationery box, or tuck them into an envelope in a cabinet drawer, or somewhere easily available when it comes time to launder them. These directions often tell you where to set your iron for the ironing stint, too, when ironing is necessary and it’s a very good thing to know. if you are putting curtains, slip covers, draperies, chenille spreads and rugs, and blankets m with the regular family wash, you shouldn’t. They deserve to be and should be laundered separately. Usually such things as hose, iaees, loosely woven woolens, knitted woolens, woolen socks and wash able leather gloves should be hand washed. You’ll have better luck, bettor looking clothes and get more wear from them, if you take pains to wash them properly. — tfw — Obermire’s Have ‘Recipe’ for Idle Day— Stuart, Nebr. Dear Friends: What did you do the day after Christmas? No, we didn’t sit around and relax! We are a busy family and our relaxation usual ly consists of being up and doing something different. The day after Christmas being Sunday, we started with mass for everyone, then a christening par ty, at which our first grandchild was baptized. The proud grand father and great-grandmother were her sponsors. Then home to dinner of left over Christmas scraps when the question arose, like any Sunday, “What shall we do this after noon?” Francis sugested for the 10th time, “Cut down that bee tree.” Such a scurrying around to get things located. Dad asked Joe if he wanted to take the power saw. But Joe either felt very ambitious or too lazy to get the saw out of the basement, so they loaded the cne-man crosscut, the axe, and, of course, pail and dish pan in which to put the honey. Next those who wanted to go piled into the picknp and car. Besides Mom and Dad, there were Grandma, Brenda, John, Joe, Francis, Jim and Billie. We ladies stayed in the car, back so the tree wouldn’t hit us and it was like watching a silent movie. First they looked over the situation deciding which way they wanted the tree to fall. Dad grab bed the saw and Jim helped make the first cut and Joe took the axe and how the chips flew from the first cut on the side the tree was to fall! Taking turns at saw and axe until Joe broke the han dle of the axe. John was sawing and pulled the saw out, and Dad smelled the blade to determine if it were hon ey he smelled. Then Jim touched the blade and decided it was sticky. Things were getting interesting and we could scarcely stay in the car. Joe went to get the tractor and down came the tree with a crash. Dad and John got down and looked into the hollow trunk. Out we scrambled to have a look, too. Dad reached in and pulled out a big piece of comb but it was empty. Jim started a fire so we would have smoke for those lively bees. Grandma, Billie and I kept warm piling wood on the fire. No one stood still for very long and there was much waving of arms to chase lively bees, then some one would jerk off a scarf and ask some one to find a bee or bees in their hair. One crawled up Fran cis’ pant leg and stung him, how he did jump around! All the honey couldn’t be reach ed so they decided to cut the trunk again. Then it was decided not to go again with out the pow er saw, energy was running low. The tractor was hooked on, ev eryone suggesting a different j place and the tree rolled over. The larger branches were sawed off, j and Joe pulled them into a blow out with the tractor. The chain broke, sometimes it wasn’t tied right and came loose, so everyone came in for their share of good natured ribbing. The last time the tree was rolled a branch came down on a tractor fender and bent it. The whole tree was in the blowout by the time we left, out of the way for this year’s having. Then came time to put out the fire. Dad carries a very short (both blade and handle) spade in the pickup which I got to put dirt on the coals. John, being in the army, was asked to show how to dig a fox hole. Fire covered, a quart of honey on hand, everyone agreed we had had a barrel of fun. We came home l\ungry to sit down to hot chocolate, sandwiches, jell-o and cake which Nola and Karen had ready for us. MRS. G. L.
