Tailored finishes for pockets. "ff-"-necks,
hems and other finishes of
home-made garments are being stud
ied and practiced on this month by
the ladies who belong to the clubs
taking this project, "Time Savers in
Clothing Construction." Leaders of all
the clubs met with Miss Helen Rocke
on Jan. 19 at Elmwood, and 20th at
Weeping Water for the monthly les
son. Tiicy are now giving the same
lesson to their local clubs.
The tailored finishes will not only
make the garments look attractive,
but they will also save much time of
the linmeraakcrs who are milking
their own clothes. Miss Roche includ
ed in the day's leuson a demonstration
of how to alter patterns and some
suggestions and directions for making
d reKS-m a ke r s hi n d i r. g.
The next lesson will be another
time saver, the use of t-ewing mac

that come in a nice box with her
sewing machine.

the poor hen will do no laying after
July 1st. If you cull her out during
the summer or early fall, you have
more room for your pullets and they
need all the room they can get. it
is best to watch the high market
during the summer and early fall and
cull the old hens. If you are culling
now. you ehould not cull your pullets
because they have not passed one
egg-laying period yet.

THRIFT DEFINED
Thrift should not be confused with
miserliness. Thrift is merely the
valuable quality of being able to
spend money wisely and well, not
foolishly. Wise investments make for
sound business, and greater business.
Wise spending makes for better pro
ducts in all lines, and increased pro
duction. The miser is one who dis
likes spending money no matter how
worthily. He is one of the greatest
enemies of progress.
The amount of money that is hid
den in a sock under the floorboard,
or buried in the backyard Is growing
less. Instead, it is deposited in banks,
and circulating In order to produce
many times its face value.
