A new method keeping cream sweet is being put into use in Scotland. In this process the cream is heated under 'pressure of 235 degrees Fahrenheit and then cooled to 50 or 60 degrees. It is said that the cream will stay sweet from six to ten days depending upon the weather and that it will sweet fer several weeks if kept in a vacuum churn. ° * os * In the May number of "The Journal of the Franklin Institute" there ap- pears an article by R.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT Seven years¢ago a farmer living only a few miles from the city hung his vest on the barnyard fence. A calf chewed up a pocket of the gar- ment in which there was a standard gold watch. A short time ago, the animal, a staid old milch cow, was butchered for beef and the timepiece was found in such a position between the lungs of the cow that the respira- tion--the closing-in and filling of the lungs--kept the stem winder- wound up, and the watch had lost but four minutes in seven years--Lyon News.

Somehow the nickel on its headlights had lost its gleaming rich- ness, and the spokes that had twink- led so merrily at fifty miles per hour were caked with dust and grease. But the motor purred just as satisfactorily as they came down Willow Lane be- cause to its mechanical perfection a few thousand miles meant nothing--or maybe because it shared their joy in getting home. "That's a darned good engine," re- marked Tom, "even though the old 'boat' looks as if it had been through a cyclone." "Did you notice,' he added, "how We passed that spiffy looking Dar- man? Had her up t oeighty, and not a murmur. May not be built for show, but, by golly, she's got the speed and staying power--because she's made right.' "Cars are like people and lots of other things,' he mused. "The've got to be right inside, especially in the little things to stand the gaff." Lost in admiration, he scarcely felt the tug at his sleeve. Not until Sue began laughing did he realize that, instead of closing his mouth on a tasty morsel, he felt a stinging sen- sation when his mouth had hit the glass partiition. He Kept lunging at the minnow for several days until finally he had to quit because he was sore and bruised and he was satisfied with the little food that was dropped in his side of the aquarium. Then the naturalist removed the glass partition. But the bass did not molest the minnow who swam all around him. He was thor- oughly sold on the idea that business was poor. Now far be it from us to compare any merchant to qa fish but there are lots of them that act just like the bass did after the partition was removed. I refer to the ones that believe in the summer slump. They have heard that business is poor in the summer and are so sold on the idea that they do not try to get business but are satis- fied with what little comes their way. Of course business will be poor if you ee do not go after it. It may even be a little harder to get. But the mer- chant who keeps at his advertising, keeps attractive displays in his win- dows, and keeps his salesmen pepped up wil! not notice any slump. He will get the business that the poor fish are letting go right by them. The man who thinks he can't is usually correct. Now is the Time To have your house Painted or your rooms Papered ~C.

It was a wonderful trip with the mountain scenery and all, but (just a trifle wistfully) this is our home, dear, and it's the best place on earth. There's more real happiness here because it's home." Home! What a wealth of feeling in the word! Home--a refuge from the strife and troubles of the world-- @ welcome retreat when all else palls --a sanctuary within whose walls are mankind. Real, true happiness comes from only homes, and those homes that are spiritually, physicaly, and ar- tistically in harmony with the most ennobling sentiments breed joy su- preme. THE POOR FISH It was some time ago since we first heard this story but it will bear re- peating about this time every year. A naturalist built an aquarium and divided it into two sections with a piece of clear glass. In one side he placed a good sized bass and in the other a minnow.
