"11! one wishes to use only a part
of the silage, then change to other
feed coming up, forget the silo. When
it is necessary to use the siUyte a-
Kain, merely slice off the first layer
which was exposed, and you have just
as good feed as ever. Silage eleven
years old was found just as (food as
it ever was by a recent check. In the
older countries, such as Germany
Sweden, etc nearly all the land till-
ers realize the value of them ami
have one in some form or another.
"We cannot stress too much the
fact that they are a blessing to the
farmer anywhere, but especially in
the Western regions where drought,
hail, (grasshoppers and other natural
causes too often leavc the owners of
livestock facing a serious shortage
in feed.

H. D. Club News
Six members of the Home Dem-
onstration Clubs of Stonewall county
returned from the annual short
course held at. College Station, Texas
July 13-14 and 15th. Two mem-
bers paid their own ways while four
had their ways paid by their clubs.
They reported a very interesting and
pleasant trip with much profitable
information to be given, in turn, to
their clubs. A trip to Galveston add-
ed to the joy of the Shor Course.
Two girls were supposed o attend
the Junior Short Course, July 6-7-8,
but only Thelma Boatwright of Pea-
cock attended. The adults going were
Mrs. W. E. Driver of Johnson Chapel,
Mrs. Roy Edwards of Wright, Mrs.
Clyde Grice of Old Glory, and Mrs.
M. L, Bilberry of Geneview. Mrs.
G. C. Tarrance of Swenson went
down on the train, while Mrs. Ruby
Cochran of Johnson Chapel took the
others of the group down in her car.
The annual encampment of the
Jones and Stonewall county Home
Demonstration Clubs will be held
August 2 and 3. Enrollment will be
gin at. 4 o'clock Tuesday. Supper will
be at 6:30. Stunts from each club
will follow, with recreation in the
form of games and songs. After
breakfast the next morning, and the
morning swims fo rthose who wish
them an hour or two will be devoted
to demonstrations, leclures and skits
seen at short course. After dinner a
buisness meeting will be held and
then adjournment for another year.
Last year infantile paralysis prevent-
ed the annual encampment and this
year it is hoped the floods will not
repeat the postponement of the two
county meeting.

effectiveness, therefore, must be de-
•termined, not merely by the beam of
power of the lights, but just as im-

the effectiveness of headlights is cor-

Until major highways and main
city streets, at least, are provded
with really adequate illumination
and are made as modern and safe at
night as they are in the daytime,
there can be but one salvation —
common sense!
When darkness comes slow down!
Be more careful! Use dimmers when
meeting with other cars! Keep head
lights in proper adjustments and
keep them clean — dust and dirt on
lenses or reflectors can cut efficiency
in half.

"Lord, what fools these mortals
be!"
Those are the works of Puck in
"A Midsummer Night's Dream"
written by Shakespeare back in the
days of the horse, the coach and the
litter. And though it is true, the
words bore no relation to problems
of travel, there is a Umpatton to
echo them now every time the con-
stantly mounting statistics of death
on the highway point to the tragedy
of these beautiful summer nighu.

Nevertheless, it is one in which thou-
sands play a part after the curtain
of darkness has falien over the high-
ways and by-way:^ and over the busy
city streets . , , And thousands die!
ft is a paradox of this age of light
that we continue to carry on this
potentially must dangerous activity
of the time in compara tlve darkness
—continue to drive at mile-e-minute
speeds over hghways that are as
lacking in illumination as those over
which the coaches rattled from Bos-
ton to Worcester 200 odd years ago.
Seeing is effected by two malar
factors. The first, reflected light —
light which thrown upon an object,
is reflected back, distinguishing tor
us the detail of that object The *#-
conrt factor is silhouette — or the
lightness or darkness at objedi

NEW YORK—In the World of To-
morrow, there will be no such harsh,
forbidding signs as "Keep off the
Grass!" At least the New York World's
Fair 1939 has already introduced,
on the Fair grounds, signs reading
merely "Please." The young lady in
the picture. Miss Betty Rqfferty, is
regarding the sign with genuine
pleasure.
"I never liked those signs 'Keep oil
the Grass.' It is certainly a happy and
considerate thought to use the one
word 'Please.' Surely the public \yill
both understand the meaning and will
appreciate the friendliness of the re-
quest."
Due to the fact that all the em-
ployees working in the Spur Office
are instructed to attend the Sta'e
Convention of Farm Security Ad-
ministration workers, the Spur offi-
ce will be closed the week August 1
to August 6th, inclusive. The office
will be open again as usual until 12:-
00 Saturday, July 30th. and open *t
8:00 A. M. August 8th.
