Mrs. Joe Patterson was the hostess at a prettily appointed dinner Sat- udray, honoring Mr. and Mrs. Leslie E. Patterson, whose marriage took place at Grand Rapids Saturday af- ternoon. A color plan of white and blue was charmingly carried out in the decora- tions and in the table appointments, harmonizing prettily with the bride's | gown, which was of white serge with | trimmings of blue.

The ap- proved pattern is made up of two dises, set one above the other, and at slightly different angles. Both are supported onaheavy frame and draw beams amd are manipulated by levers in much the same manmer as a gang plow. The machine will cut a fur- row 10 to 14 inches wide at the will of the operator. It is drawn by four or five horses of good weight. Theo- retically, one would expect the upper tom of the proceding furrow to be covered by the lower and following dise. In practice, however, it will be found that the soi] from both fur- rows is thoroughly mixed. “Opening up a heavy clay soi] and more inches probably increases: the water-holding capacity.

The work is not at all hard, but requires a little attention at fre- quent intervals. Where stumps are green, and dry kindling hard to pro- cure, it is a common practice to ap- ply a liberal amount of kerosene to facilitate burning, The cost of rempving stumps by this method is not an expensive prop- osition. From data gathered from a number of experiments carried on in Washington, the price of stumps, as- sorted sizes runs from 40 cents to $1. It has been determined from theca experiments that the average stump of 40 inches in diameter can be burned out for approximately 70 cents. This is cheaper than any known method. Where conditions are roots will be burned out.

Of the.55,000,000 babies born every year, 15,000,000 of them die before they are a year old, according to the statement of Edward B. Phelps at the International Congress’ on Hygiene and Demography in Washington. This means 40,000 babies die every day, and the United States com ates 1,000. In Sweden and Nor where all babies are breast fed, ¢ mortality is smallest. Dr. William H. Davis of Boston said the deaths of infants would be 60 per cent less if none were fed from 4 bottle. Other speakers said half of the infants mortality is preventable. All nations are just waking to this fact Protection from sudden cold helps baby to live. On the other hand, the baby should be kept cool on hot days. Want Consolidated School.

That’s why Remington-UMC Steel Lined Shells have won 13 out of the 15 Handicaps held in the last three years. The speed that gets that mile-a-minute ‘‘duck’’ with a shorter lead—that’s why it takes over 50,000 dealers to handle the demand for Remington- UMC Steel Lined Shells. The Shooting fraternity are speed wise. They know loose smokeless powder won’t drive shot. They know that the drive depends on the compression. The powder charge in Remington-UMC shells is gripped in steel. This lining is designed to give the exact compression necessary to send the load to the mark quickest. It insures speed—the same speed in every shell. The steel lining is moisture proof—no dampness can get through. Jar proof—no powder can get out. Waste proof—no energy is lost.
