Hints On Washing Pillow Feathers Don't try to wash more than one pair of pillows at a time, unless you have lots of space to dry them. this can be done only when the days are long, ' Have a tub with good hot sud- sy water. Put in the feathers loose, and work them well around, Then squeeze them through your hands into another tub of warm ririse water, " Then take a square of cotton like a diaper and put about four hand- Fold it over and put through the wringer. Then take a cotton sheet, fold in half. and baste together on three sides. Put in the feathers and even- ly distribute them about. Use safety pins for. the open end or you may lose feathers when the wind blows. Then put outdoors to dry. Work the feathers around about twice a day. It will take about 3 days,to dry them. The more you beat them and work them about, the fllufher they will be. : Strain the wash water and rinse water through a strainer, or you will lose lots of feathers. With this method your pillows will be soft and fluffy many years, CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS DOWN 1. French verse 1. Weapons form 2. Vegetable 3. Singing volce 4. Portion of a curve 6. Signifies 6.

John 3:3. Nicodemus coming to Jesus by night has been thought by many to indicate: his desire for secrecy, Was he ashamed to have his fel- low rulers know that he had con- ferred with the prophet, Jesus, If such were the case, the interview certainly helped him. Two and a half years yater he suggested to his fellows that they exercise mon justice in their judgement of Jesus. After the crucifixion he sup- plied the myrrh and aloes to put with the linen in which they hound the body. ' Perhaps vicodemus night simply because it conv nient time to 'have a private talk. At any, rate one can't help wishing that Nicodemus had shown less hesitancy about being a disciple. His life-would have been more ef- fective if he had been out-and-out as Paul, who was also a Pharisee. Jesus explained to Nicodemus the only way by which one can enter God's Kingdom. It is not by keep- ing 'a set of rules, or by joining a church, There must be a spiritual rebirth. Whitefield was once asked why he preached so often from- the words, "Ye must be born again, came at _ He replied, "Because ye must be born again." This message needs emphasis to-day. Many wish to avoid the stark necessity of com- pletely yieldin, _themselves to God's will and being made new creatures in Christ * Jesus. They prefer to trust "in their good works, their church, or Mother's prayers. Many who call themselves Christians have only fixed up the outside a bit. But only the way that Jesus taught will meet man's deep neeg. There is no other way into the Kingdom.

To,look at that roast is to laugh as indeed [ did when I bought it from the butcher yesterday! Three dollars--and so help me, you could wrap it up in the dollar bills I handed over to pay for it. Not so very long ago the same amount of money would have bought enough meat for a thiresh- ing. "But," said the man who sery- ed me, "sce what you get now for your cattle when you sell them." "Yes." I answered, "but we sell a cow only once a year--nieat we buy every week." No doubt many people will say-- "Why don't you use your own meat ---put it in a sharp-frecze locker?" gestion--in fact we did just that for ten years. But as our family be- came smaller we found we were 3 further ahead to buy our meat as required and: thus get nore, variety, It takes a long time for 'a family "of two or three to eat a quarter of beef or' half a pig--and how sick and tired you get of it before it is finished!' And yet to have less than that put 'away is: hardly worth bothering with. 'Phen. again we have a family who doesn't like fat-- and there is a cotisiderable amount of fat--and bone=when:meat«comes straight from the carcass, So there you have 'it--and if any of you think the high cost of living doesn't affect the farmer then I wish you «could 'take a peel at our steak roast this morning, 1 calledAt Your weckly roabt"--actually it will .do well if it lasts three days, And "yet, deepite the high cost of Livia, which uffects everyone, LVLL.C, operators can afford to go on strike! "It just doesn't make It gives a better ploture of compara. sense. We had a man in here this morning--an employee of a large delivery company, who, after talk- ing about the transportation strike for awhile said this--"Now the farmers should go on strike--and that would be a strike to end all strikes!" - : "And how would you suggest we go about it?" I asked. "Easy enough--stop selling any- thing at all. A week would do it." This man may be right but I would hate, to see it happen--the untold misery it would cause isn't nice to think about. As in all strikes everyone would suffer--winners and losers alike. Nor is it likely to hap- pen because it would only be pos- sible if all perishable farm produce were dumped out--milk thrown on the fields; eggs and cream des- troyed and fruits and 'vegetables left to rot. No it just won't hap- pen because to wilfully destroy any- thing is absolutely foreign to a farmer's principle, The farmer is an idealist at heart--an idealist who cannot work with nature and then thoughtlessly destroy the products of her bounty. That, probably, is- one reason why a farmer will often go on producing at a loss rather than quit, To.quit is to break faith with the good earth he loves, 1He.is, also afi individualist, which may be one reason why he does not always succeed 'too well rin i coroperative "enterprise, iy And while we are thinking of .the farmer as an individualist let me recommend for your reading a book by A.

What so-called. "prosperity" did to the farms and farm families during the early days of the first World. War is wonderiully well drawn--but it doesn't make for happy reading. : Partner was in the army at that time and so saw little of rural England but I was. living in a farm- ing community and saw a great deal of what was being done--farms taken over by military authorities, men conscripted into the army, and yet I did not realize its significance. Mr. Street also gives a wonderful description of the advantages and disadvantages of mechanized farm- ing--how a farm can be ruined by a too intensive cropping campaign or reclaimed by proper methods. Ac- cording to Mr, Street modern ma- chinery can be a blessing or a curse --depending upon how it is used.
