Imaginary husband whose widow
she represents herself to be.
Madge Kennedy sparkles from the
beginning of the play until the last
scene. Again she is found in tin
environment which sets her off so
well—that of exclusive iociety—and
her unique beauty is enhanced bj
many smart costumes reflecting tin
styles of tomorrow.
All in all, Madge Kennedy is 8«en

lighting the second big battle of Its
history at the polls In Minnesota to-
day. In the primary election it is
trying to secure political control or
the state.
The league won a similar fight in
North Dakota two years ago. It
claims a membership of 200,000 in
20 states, its chief membership at
present being in North Dakota and
Minnesota.
Many of the league's workers and
officers have been put in Jail by

made for the piquant little star by
America's foremost critics and ex

Many Position# Open for
Women That Are Com-
petent; Examina
nations Soon.
A great number of women are
needed for Government work, aH of
which must come through Civil Ser-
vice. In addition to the usual plac-
es tilled by women, such as stenog-
{ ra[there, clerks, typists, etc.. there
! are many positions open to them to-
day which heretofore have never
been held by women. At the pres-
ent time some sixty examinations
are pending for positions among
which are the following:
Mechanical Draftsman
Copyist Draftsman
Junior Chemist

Standards)
Junior Laboratory Assistant

The United States Employment
Service, which is co-operating with
the Civil Service in obtaining compe-
tent women to fill these positions,
placed approximately 45,000 women
during the months of January, Feb-
ruary. March and April. Each
month shows a steady growth of
placements.
H. W. Lewis, district superintend-
ent of the Eleventh District of the
U. 8. Employment Service, (which
comprises Texas and New Mexico)
with healquarters at* Smlthvllle,
Texas, is using every means possible
to have this unusual opportunity for
service placed before the women of
his district. Any woman desiring
to apply for a position can obtain
full Information and assistance by
getting in touch with the Smlthvllle
or oue of the various U. 8. Employ-
ment Service offices, which have
been established at the following
places:

On account of the vast number of
examinations being held and the
confusion which may arise In giv-
ing out correct application forms, It
l« desirable that applicants be re-
quired to obtain their own blanks
from the local office of the Civil
Service.

A general review of the agricul-
tural conditions in the county shows,
that while the crops are not as
promising as they were several
weeks ago owing to tack of timely
tains, they are stilt much better
than in June of last year.
The Irish potato crop has been
unusually good this season, and al-
though low prices have prevatlel
their value to the community as a
food crop is very great, and heavy
consumption by our home people
has resulted in the saving of many
thousands of dollars to the farmers
and town people alike.
The corn crop will average at
least !5 per cent better than last
year—with a much larger acreage
under cultivation, but any reliable
estimate is at this time impossible,
owing to wide variation of the crop
in different sections of the county
and even on adjoining farms.
As a result of local showers per-
haps lo per cent to 15 per cent of
the crop will make a full yield. As
a result of up-to-date methods of
planting and cultivation another 10
per cent will make a good yield,
while the rest runs from half a nor-
mal crop to almost nothing
Most of our farmers depend on
the generosity of the weather clerk
to make a corn crop. If he gives
them un abundance of timely rains
they make the corn, If he falls to
give them the ralti in quantity,
their corn fails, so there you are
It was reasonable to expect, that
the drought of last year—with its
disastrous resulto to the corn crop
should have taught our farmers to
plant with a view of restating dry
weather conditions, most of them
failed to do this however and plant-
ed In the same old way. vis , on beds
with rows too close together and
plants not sufficiently spaced in the
row, giving to each stalk only six
to eight te« i of surface space, where
twelve feet is required to make a
good ear under average conditions.
It Is encouraging to note however,
that improved methods of corn cul-
ture Is dally gaining converts, and
it Is a safe prediction that the corn
crop of Washiugtou county will next
year be larger than the crop of this
year.
Cotton like corn Is "spotted," but
upon the whole the plant Is smsll
and some ten days later than nor-
mal. Lice were unusually abund-
ant eary In the season, and retarded
the growth of the plant considera-
bly, sIbo Injuring the stand, on san-
dy lsnd especially. Weevil* are plen-
tiful and puncturing the squares
badly in fields adjoining the wood-
lands, but on the prslrle have so far
done but dlttle damage.
The decrease In acreage from last
year will amount to about 16 per
cent. Forage crops are good, with
an Increased acreage, especially of
Soudun grass. Too much cannot he
said in praise of this grass as a hay
plant, and at present price* I* one of
the moat profltsble crops for the
fsrmer of this county.
Meadow grass, while better than
last yesr, Is fsr below normal ow-
ing to injury of the roots by severe
droughts.
The watermelon and canteloupe
crop will not be up to the average
owing to severe Infestation of the
vines by "aphlds," which once they
get well colonised are extremely
hard to eradicate.

Milk is Nulure's cofpiete food tor children. Unfortunately, it is
an Weal food for disease germs, which tt once Introduced Into it,
multiply rapidly, especially if the milk Is not kept cool. During
bottling or transportation, there may be opportunities for the milk to
become coutuminated with the germs of tuberculosis, typhoid fever, ecar-
kt fever, diarrhea, septic sore throat, dysentery or other dlseaees danger-
ous to the health and lives of your children. ,
Whet Y«Hi Hlwnld Know About "Vosr" Dairy.
Do you really know anything about the dairy which supplies milk for
your children? Hsve you visited It? Is It inspected each month by the
City Health Deartmeut? What is it's 'Sanitary Rating t" Does the City
analyse the milk regularly? How many bacteria does It contain? Are
the cows tested each year and found free of Tuberculoids? (This applies
to your cow and your neighbors' cows Just as much as to other oows.)
Are the Milkers examined regularly and found free of all communicable
diseases? Are the milking utensils properly sterilised after every milk-
ing? Is the mtlk cooled immediately, and then bottled, and kept cool
until it Is delivered to you? Don't buy "loose" or "dipped" milk. Pat-
ronise only dairies that use ottles. Unless you are fully satisfied on all
theee points, do not give your children raw milk without some protec-
tion.
How l'asteurlsation l'roteets Health.
The purpose of Pasteurisation Is to destroy possible disease germs.
When csrefully done, it does not Injure the food value of the milk; but
even If It did, that would still he better than taking the chance of con-
tracting disease. Don't trust to luck that the milk Is safe, Pasteurise!
A simple method of Pasteurising a one-quart bottle of milk is as fol-
lows: Boil two quarts of water in a ten pound tin lard pall, Place the
slightly-warmed tulik bottle from the Ice chest In the pall of boiling wa-
ter. Cover the pail with a cloth and set In a warm place At the end of
an hour remove the battle, chill promptly, and protect from possible con-
tamination until used.
