Davis Cup Stays in America
Nations think twice, nowadays, before embarking upon
a war and then think they will stay out.
' The prune harvest is on in Cove these days and a crop
of possibly 200 tons of fine fruit will bring added fame
to the community for producing choice varieties. It's a
growing industry with new orchards coming into bearing
each year. John Dean is one of the big prune growers and
has some beautiful fruit and a big tonnage in spite of dam
age to about a third of hia crop by hail. Cherries, prunes,
pears, and many diversified interests make up the star to
which Cove's wagon has been hitched for many a year. And
a choice star it is,
WHAT THEY DO AT COVK.
There is nothing quite so interesting nor quite so ap
pealing as the exhibits displayed at a community fair such
as Cove had yesterday. We had the pleasure of visiting
the fair and more people from all over the valley should
have had the experience. For a small tenitory famous
for cherry production Cove certainly can exhibit fine speci
mens of about every other product one's. appetite c;tn imag
ine. And considering that much of the lower land was hit
heavily ftnddisatiounly-by--thc recent hail 'stormthe
worst on record in that community tho entire crop ex
hibit was extremely fine. And the fruits and vegetables
and grains weren't all. One view of the big cakes, the de
licious looking pics and pnstiins, the beautiful j;.ms and
jellies and preserves, is enough to convince you of tho
h'gh art practiced by Cove housewives. And the beautiful
array of fancy woik and embroidery attest the skill of
their needles. Then theic was, in addition to other novel
oxihibits, tho choice calf entries of the school yoiingrteiF
many potential prize winners in the gioup. The idea of
tho Cove fair, of course, is to petfiiit the selection of the
best in each class for showing at the Elgin fair later this
week and it must prove successful in view of the mmA
share of prizes carri d off by the Cove entrants each yo-r.
The chief advantage, however, lies in tho community spirit
that such an exhibition fosters. Everybody in Cove wi s
interested in that fair and it's a community event full
worthy oT that interest.
SIKN1)IN( THE INCOME. v
On first reaction the announcement that the housewife
spends 85 per cent of the income of the average American
family makes the housew ife appear a spondihi il't. Figures
don't lie hut they sometimes leave the wrong impression.
Eighty-five per cent of t ho family income may be spent
by women, but not fur women. The statement assumes
that the average housewife pays fmm her ,s,r, per cent u!l
the bills of the home fnini rent to fund and. fuel leavim:
15 per cent to the huslnud for miscellaneous 0KM.m:cH and
the operation of the IVinily automobile.
The surprising thing in the situation is that the aver
ago home can he pmpeily maintained on S5 per cent of
the family income. The average income is not so mimifi
cent as to obviate management (.ml u.,v iUV valid'
reasons to believe that many men would resign the job'
if given the entile income w ith which to opoiute the house
hod.
Domestic relations courts fronnntly hear impnuiden:
hua'oands complain that their wives .sp i,d every cent they
