The Accent
Nat Ooodwin had an unenviable
reputation among his fellow actors
for—well, shall we call it extreme
parsimony? One day he ap-
proached a table in the Lambs
Club, New York, at which two
other historians were seated, and
remarked that he was thinking of
writing his autobiography.
“With the accent on the ‘buy’?”
asked one of the actors meaningly.
“No,” put in the other quickly,
“with the accent on the ‘ought
Using His Head
Mozart, who was a pupil of
Haydn’s, once made a bet with the
master that he could compose a
piece that Haydn could not play.
Within five minutes Mozart
dashed off a script and handed it
to Haydn.
“What’s this?” he exclaimed
after he had played a few bara.
“Why here is a note to be played
in the middle of the keyboard, *
when the hands are stretched out ^
to both ends of the piano. Nobody
can play such music.”
Smilingly, Mozart took Haydn’*
place at the instrument and when
he came to that note, he leaned
forward and struck it with his 1
nose—a member with which Mo-
zart was amply supplied.
Electronic Purifier
Kills Offensive Odors
Farmers Using Purifier
To Clear Up Farm Odors
The old problem of odors on a
farm, caused by live stock or poul-
try, by dampness or mustiness, can
now be solved. And for less than a
half cent a day.
A powerful air purifier, called
Air-Tron, uses ozones, nature’s own
“air freshener” to create outdoor
freshness in foul-smelling places by
killing odor-producing bacteria in
the air and on the surfaces. Farm-

“Taint Nice’
A young skeptic in the congrega-
tion once interrupted Billy Sunday
with the question:
“Who was Cain’s wife?”
The Evangelist answered in all
seriousness:
“I honor every seeker after
knowledge of the truth. But I have
a word of warning for this ques-
tioner. Don’t risk losing salvation
by too much inquiring after other
men’s wives.”

Two Little Words
A Washington matron once
boasted she could make President
Coolidge talk. Cornering him at a
dinner, she sought to make good
her boast.
“Oh, Mr. President,” she said,
trying to disarm him with frank-
ness, “I have made a bet that I
can make you say at least three
words.”
“You lose,” Coolidge replied.

“Well, Sam, I’ll tell you how it
is. You see, I married a widow,
and this widow had a daughter.
Then my father, being a widower,
married our daughter, so you see
my father is my own son-in-law.”
“Yes, I see.”
“Then again my step-daughter
is my step-mother, ain’t she? Well,
then, her mother is my grand-
mother, ain’t she? I am married
to her, ain’t I? So that makes me
my own grandfather, doesn’t it?”
Single lamp Air-Tron is being
□sed on numerous farms to re-
duce offensive odors.
ers in many areas are reported tak-
ing advantage of the purifier and
are turning their farms into more
pleasant places in which to live and
work.
The Air-Tron is a compact unit
which generates short wave ultra-
violet rays destroying unpleasant
odors electronically. It is produced
by Roy C. Stove and Company of
Chicago.
A single-lamp unit provides air
freshening protection for an area up
to 600 cubic feet—the size of the
average milk house. For areas up to
1,200 cubic feet, the double lamp has
been developed.

Herd Numbers Decrease,
But Milk Supply Grows
In the past two decades, milk
production on United States farms
has increased by 20 billion pounds,
or one-fifth while the number of
milking herds has declined. In some
of the individual dairy states,
changes haye been even more spec-
tacular. In New York, for instance,
one-half more milk is marketed by
15 per cent fewer farmers than in
1929.
Milk is produced on about 4W
million of the six million farms in
the United States. On about two mil-
lion of these, the milk is produced
solely for home use. Most of these
farms have only one or two cows,
but their milk provides an important
part of the food of some nine mil-
lion farm people.
On the other 2% million farms
that have milk cows, some milk,
cream, or farm-churned butter Is
sold. These sales range from a few
pounds of farm-churned butter per
year up to thousands of pounds of
milk per day.

Strawberries Need Good
Protection From Cold
Strawberries need protection
against cold by means of mulching
with straw, leaves or sawdust, fruit
specialists warned farmers.
Wheat straw, oat straw and rye
straw have all been successfully
used as strawberry mulches. Fairly
heavy coverings are suggested in
order to avoid heaving from frost
and consequent root damage. Ordi-
nary leaves give good results on
home plantings.
