FARMERS ARE BUSY
UP IN NEW ENGLAND
Get Tourists’ Money by
Roadside Enterprise.
Portland, Maine.—The New England
farmer, long hiding his gift for ad-
vertising, has kicked over the well-
known bucket and set his light on the
highway. There it shines in fantas-
tic fashion, illuminating a new order
of agriculture.
Its outward garb is an elaborate
system of signs, picturesque placards
and posters, that swamp the road-
weary traveler. They fairly shriek
the excellence of roadside comestibles.
Artistic, grotesque or merely present,
they strive for a common end—as-
siduous harvesting of the tourist crop.
And the avidity with which the
rural Easterner attends to business
attests the efficacy of his art as an
advertiser. From dawn until . long
after dark, hands that once steadied
the plow handle cut eager circles with
the handle of a gas pump. Voices that
once cajoled the sweat-flecked and re-
calcitrant steed now vent their per-
suasive power on the stranger who
seeks rest and refreshment.
Why swelter through a midsummer
day in the hayfield, argues the farmer
with profitable materialism, when the
passing throng clamors to shed ready
cash for buttermilk and watermelons?
Each year finds increasingly large
numbers of farmers branching out
into roadside enterprises. The ingenu-
ity that formerly went into wrestling
with the routine of the Pilgrims now
is called upon to halt and hold the
prospective patron of country cuisine.
So large that those who speed may
read, so ambitious in design, and so
heroic in expression that none pass
unnoticed, the farmers’ “ads” lure the
hungry, the tired and the merely
curious with inescapable appeal.
Japanese Railways Give
Women Employees Vote
Tokyo.—The first step toward the
realization of woman suffrage in
Japan was taken recently by the Im-
perial government railways. The offi-
cials decided to grant all employees,
regardless of sex, who are more than
eighteen years old, the right to vote
for the election of members of the
railway committee on improvement
and treatment of employees.
Although this is limited to those
employed on the railways, suffrage
leaders are of the opinion that it will
have a favorable influence on the
country and that it will not be many
years before nation-wide suffrage has
been achieved.
There are approximately 10,000
women employees of the railways who
will vote for the first time in their
lives. Up to the present only male
employees twenty years old or over
have been privileged to vote in the
committee elections.
Needle Imbedded in Man’s
Heart Is Taken Out
Buffalo, N. Y.—Morgan Downey,
twenty, is recovering in a hospital
here after an operation for removal
of a gold-tipped needle imbedded in
his heart.
In the operation an opening was
cut in the chest wall and the sac
protecting the heart was opened. With
his fingers the doctor was able to
touch the tip of the needle in the
back of the heart when the organ
contracted.
It required 75 minutes to gain a
firm hold and dislodge the needle.
The needle was in the mattress of
Downey’s bed and in some manner
pierced him. Downey attempted to
pry it out but instead forced the
sharp sliver of steel further into his
body.
Subsequent examinations showed
the heart in its contractions had
drawn the needle further into itself
Title for Sale
Montreal. — Leon Gniclinski, who
says he is a Polish count, has adver-
tised his title for sale. The count,
who came to Canada last February,

he needs money to support his wife
and daughter.

Hotel Men Very Much
Law Unto Themselves
The queerest hotel in Britain is now
closed. It was in a village near Bury
St. Edmunds, and though it was fully
licensed no traveler could quench his
thirst, there. Nor could he get food or
any kind of accommodation. The own-
er was a rabid teetotaller who adopted
this method of asserting his principles.
In the end the justices refused to re-
new the license. They came to the
conclusion that the public had no need
of an inn which never opened its
doors.
At a small Devonshire inn the food
and accommodation are good, but the
landlord refuses to allow his clients'
more than three drinks a day. He
declares that three drinks are enough
for anyone, and his plan seems to
work Very well.

Most stylish-looking women are just
“good managers.” They know simple
ways tonnake last season’s things con-
form to this season’s styles.
Thousands of them have learned
how easily they can transform a dress,
or blouse, or coat by the quick magic
of home tinting or dyeing. Anyone can
do this successfully with true, fadeless
Diamond Dyes. The “know-how” is in
the dyes. They don't streak or spot
like inferior dyes. New, fashionable
tints appear like magic right over the
out-of-style or faded colors. Only Dia-
mond Dyes produce perfect results.
Insist on them and save disappoint-
ment.
My new 64-page illustrated book,
‘Color Craft,” gives hundreds of
money-saving hints for renewing
clothes and draperies. It’s Free. Write
for it now', to Mae Martin, Dept. E-143,
Diamond Dyes, Burlington, Vermont.
Not Fond of Change
The record of Jorran W. Coombs, of
•Belfast, Maine, who has lived in the
same house for 80 years, is surpassed
by Leason Martin, of Richmond, N. H.
He was born on December 13, 1840, in
a house that was probably built in
1835 and has lived there ever since—
87% years. He says that it seems
pretty much like home to him now.
Mr. Martin idso has a record of at-
tending 64 consecutive town meetings
in Richmond.

Rat Wore “Corset”
A rat caught at Hastings, Neb., ap-
peared to be wearing a sort of girdle
or corset. Examination showed that
the rat while small had crawled into
a marrow’ bone . and had been unable
to shake it off. The hole in the bone
W’as not much over an inch in diam-
eter, so that as the rat grew’, its
waistline could hot develop. It had
much the appearance of the w’asp
w’aist of the ladies of years ago.

Traffic Officer
If every car owner used
Champion Spark Plugs
there would be fewer
traffic jams due to cars
stalling.
Champion is the better spark plug
because it has an exclusive silli-
manite insulator spe-
cially treated to with-
stand the much higher
temperatures of the
modem high-compres-
sion engine. Also a new
patented solid
gasket-seal that remains
absolutely gas-tight
under high compres-
sion. Special analysis
electrodes which assure
a fixed spark-gap under
all driving conditions.

Dependable for Every Engine
One of the saddest disillusionment^
is to go back and find your homesick-
ness w’asn’t worth w’hile.
MOST people know this absolute
antidote for pain, but are you careful
to say Bayer when you buy it? And
do you always give a glance to see
Bayer on the box—and the word
genuine printed in red? It isn’t the
genuine Bayer Aspirin without it! A
drugstore always has Bayer, with the
proven directions tucked in every box;
Want American Ideas
An association of German architects^
promoting an exhibition under the
name of “The New Kitchen,” has-
asked American producers of kitch-
enettes to use the exhibition to show
Germany some of the latest American
ideas of household efficiency.
This much of the golden rule al-
ways works: Helping a man find
something he’s lost on the street.
Cfyulfass Starch is Sold Svetywhcro,
FAULTLESS STARCH COB
Kansas City,, Missouri.
for Ginghams or Organdies
O better evidence that FAULT-
LESS STARCH is the perfect
starch-yUthat it needs nothing
added—could be required than
it gives perfect results with either
ginghams or organdies.
Like a prepared cake or pancake flour
FAULTLESS STARCH is a complete
product. To add anything to FAULTLESS
STARCH would spoil it.
It has exactly the right con-
sistency, is free from lumps, is
velvety and has no “specks”.
It is a clean starch. Your irons
won’t stick. There will be no
ireezes or blowouts. Your
clothes will be soft and pliable
and have a beautiful gloss.
Clothes starched the FAULT-
LESS WAY look better and
wear longer as Faultless
Starch penetrates every thread
and fibre of the fabrics.
For 40 years in more than a
million homes, housewives have
found that the “Faultless way
is the easiest way”. One trial
will prove to you that it is.
