Bulletin Lightens Load on Housewife's Shoulder; Offers Some Advice Did you ever see a "Farmer's Bulle- tin"? Probably not, being very, very twentieth century in your habits of life. Perhaps you're asking "What's a farmer?" and then remembering to have run across the word in an at- tractive description of "Residence for Town and Country." But the United States government has discovered the American farmer to be of such importance as to war- rant the publication of a monthly magazine, designed to aid in thé work of house and farm and increase the efficiency of the great domestic unit of our complex Americanism. And as usual the town resident and the sub- urban "Hotisekéeper will find an ap- plicable lesson on every leaf. In an out-of-the-way corner of the public library where the "bulletins" are usually filed away, I found one _ which will probably ease the burden for thousands of tired farmer's wives and spread the gospel "House clean- ing made easier" into the kitchens of every farmhouse of the country, and because I knew there would be scores of our readers who are dreading the semi-annual spring "set-to" I copied these general rules for easy cleaning. Mark them well: Keep dirt out of the house by clean- ing the walks. steps, porches and sills regularly and often, by screening windows and doors near the ground, and by insisting on having muddy shoes and coats cleaned or left out- side. Lessen the number of dust-collect- "Ning places, such as unnecessary cup- boards, grooved and carved wood- work, floors with cracks, rough-fin- ished walls, elaborately carved and upholstered furniture, superflous draperies, and bric-a-brac. Remove dirt frequently and sys- tematically. This keeps the house and furnishings in better condition and makes the need of heavy clean- ing less frequent. : Clean by taking the dirt away, not by scattering it to settle again else- where. Do heavy cleaning a little at a time to avoid the hard work and discom- forts of the old-fashioned spring and fall housecleaning. Have a supply of good cleaning tools such as your work calls for and keep them in good order in a con- venient place. Use water and cleaning agents sparingly because otherwise they may spoil finishes and weaken glue, paste, or cement. Be on the lookout for troublesome insects and animals and take prompt measures to get rid of them if they appear. Make all the family help by leav- ing things where they belong and in good condition. The state executive committee of the New York department of the Am- erican Legion has passed a resolu- tion endorsing the sale by the Am- erican and French Children's league of red artificial poppies to be worn on Memorial Day. Proceeds of the sale go to the orphan children of France. An effort is being made to have all stores and homes display the poppy May 30. F. W. Galbraith, Jr., National Com- mander of the American Legion, has just returned from a tour of inspec- tion in the Michigan department of the Legion. He was a speaker at Le- gion gatherings in Detroit and Grand Rapids. AUBURN BEAUTY-SIX 7-R. Continental Motor $1695 F. O. B., FACTORY C. H.

It is with a great deal of pleasure that I make this annuoncement to my friends and the general public, be- cause I have long wished to identify myself with a highly reputable organization selling cars for which no excuses would have to be made. : When this position was offered to me, I accepted it because I knew that in offering the Franklin and Hup- mobile cars I would be offering cars which to my personal knowledge are the best cars in their class. Sales made on these cars will be sales without a come-back. My experience extending over fifteen years in the automobile business and with a knowledge of practically every European and American car has led me to believe that the Franklin car is the wonder car of the age both as to economy in operation and reliability in service.
