Better sorghum syrup is promised as & result of new processes of manufacture developed by government chemists, which will also enable syrup makers to turn out a more uniformly good product.

The new precess may also increase the “turnover” in the flapjack industry. Saying it with flowers brought its re- ward to Miss Julia Porter of Bolivar, Mo. Por several years she attended every funeral in the town and carried flowers. A local andertaker suggested that she run for city treasurer on a “posy platform,” whieh she did, and was elected as a Demo- erat, although Bolivar is normally Repub- liean. When an indignant taxpayer of Tren- ton, N. 4., complained of finding tadpoles in his bath water, Commissioner Swan sug- gested that the objects complained of might have been pieces of rubber washers.
