NOTES !
To Stop Washing of Land
Soil i.-rosion is one of the biggest
a.'Tricult i:r.il problems in southeast
ern Xcbra.-ka. Scores of farms that
were about perfect fifteen or twenty
years a.co now have big ditches
washed through them, some of them
impassible. The College Extension
service has begun a series of demon
strations to show what can be done
to cheek ditch-making and to en
courage farmers to save their land;
On one Otoe county farm twenty
nine brush dams were constructed
7." feet apart along a ditch three to
five feet deep. The brush was staked
down and tied with wire. Present
indication.- point to a successful
piece of work, and the owner of the
land has written a letter of appre
ciation to the college. In some places
concrete dams have been constructed
with indications of success.
The college's plan is to make a
practical demonstration on at least
one farm in each county as to what
can be done with brush or other ma
terial to stop the ever-growing
ditches. This work is now being
taken up. in Cass county.
Held Successful Meeting
The first of a series of community
meetings on "Standards to Work for
in Household Exhibits" at the coun
ty fair, was held at Alvo Tuesday
afternoon. The ladies had a very
nice exhibit of household products.
The County Home Agent scored each
product and showed good antl bad
points in each article by way of
comparison. The ladies felt that the
meeting was worth while. We want
to get everyone interested in our
county fair and at the same time give
the women a better idea of what the
judge considers a good product. Ev
erybody get together and boost for
our county fair.
Helping Hand Society
The Helping Hand society of Weep
ing Water held an interesting meet
ing Thursday afternoon at the home
of Mrs. E. A. Worman. About thirty
ladies were present and spent the af
ternoon making quilts. The County
Home Agent was invited to talk to
the ladies about the work of the
home agent. The ladies voted to
hold a meeting on "Standards for
County and State Fair Exhibits' in
the near future. Miss Matilda Peters
was elected project leader for the
cooking exhibits and Miss Phillis AH-
goyer project leader for fancy work.
At the dope of the meeting the hos
tess served dainty refreshments.
Dress Form Demonstration
A dress form demonstration was
iven at the home of Mrs. E. C. Giles
a Nehawka Wednesday afternoon.
About fifteen ladies were present.
After finishing the work, the hostess
rrved delicious watermelon and oat
meal cookies.

THAT'S OUR IDEA in making
CAMELS the Quality Cigarette.
Why, just buy Camels and look at the package!
It's the best packing science has devised to keep
cigarettes fresh and full flavored for your taste.
Heavy paper outside secure foil wrapping inside
and the revenua stamp over tha.end to s eil the pack
age and keep it air-tight.
And note this! There's nothing flashy about tlto
Camel package. No extra wrappings that do not
improve the smoke. Not a cent of needless expense
that must come out of the quality of the tobacco.
Camels wonderful and exclusive Quality wins otf
merit alone.
Because, men smoke Camels who want the
taste and fragrance of the finest tobaccos, expertly
blended. Men smoke Camels for Camels smooth,
refreshing mildness and their freedom from ciga-
retty aftertaste.
Camels are made for men who think for them
selves.

T5EOPL.E who know good

sell euch extra high-nrado paint
as Certain-teed for such reason
able prices.
Very simple! The Certain-teed
business is enormous. Besides
paint and varnish, they make the
well known Certain-teed Roofing
and Linoleums. They are not
wholly dependent on paint profits.
Therefore, they can afford to
make a very small profit on
everything they make.
. ,i
Each color is priced according to
Better paint
for less money
what it cost to make that partic
ular color. This means that all
colors are cheaper than other
high grade paints, and many col
ors very much cheaper.
You can't buy better paint than
Certain-teed. It 13 made only
from the highest grade materials.
The formula is printed on every
can. Vou will find that Certain
teed paint spreads better and
lasts longer than ordinary paints.
We have the right Certain-teed
Paint or Varnish for everything
inside and outside your house.
Sea us before you paint.
