(jT) A well de fined s trend of migration from . the city back to the farm has been noted in Kentucky by A. G. Brown, presi dent of the federal land bank here.

CONTINUE SOWING POPPY SEE1S The Diamine: season for poppy seeds In the West Is almost continuous. It begins In the early fall in the lower altitudes, and may continue- through out the winter and - early spring months. The intense. Interest tin poppies Is responsible for hybridists making a special effort to Dring into being new colors and combinations of colors. k . .' Some of the more recent Introduc tions are American Legion, a tall stately poppy of brilliant orange scarlet;- the Tall Double- popples in- sal mon shades; the Double peony hqw ered doddv and those large round sorts commonly referred to as carna- tion-i lowered. Then , there! are. the Eschscholtzias. which we call the California Poppy. These ore In . an., endless .variety of color, including1 the Aurantiaca, which is the true California Poppy; Tangos a (bronzy red; Geisha, orange crim son: Lovely, t rose salmon, and many others. . The seeds of poppies should alwa'ys be sown where the, plants are to re ma,int They are not particular, as to soil and will thrive under ordinary garden cultivation. They are the her alders of spring and make a most col orful Harden.. It. Is well to. mix the seeds of popples with sand before sowing. This gives a greater distri bution. 1 MILCH COWS NOty SELLING ON DOLLAR-A-WEEK PLAN , BEDALE England P) Milch cows are selling on the )dollap down, dollar a- week" plan.

LONDON W) With 20 years of his reign behind him May 6, no mod ern monarch has brought his throne so .unscratched through such, world storms as King George has weathered. Prom the, very .start he has had to deal with times of stress. Barely three years of his reign could be called "normal,", and even while war clouds were still gathering over Europe, the Irish question was pres sing dangerously. ' , In . August, ; 1914. the world war broke with Its appalling fury. UntU Its end the king was outwardly a cuim anu steady took, to .wnicn his people, might 400k for assurance. - - It was the way a king should have acted and, in truth, the only way he could. He came out of the war a monarch very dear to his people as a person. f , Led In Irish Settlement. In 1021 he took the lead in set ling the Irish troubles with a per sonal appeal. In 1926 the general strike, the next big public crisis, found King George making another ' appeal for Indus trial peace which did much to keep the controversy friendly and to avoid; serious riots. Then come his desperate illness,' which n after vmany months left him m'-iftn-rronvroDUst health. - . lib was during this time that the public affection for the king was most spectacularly demonstrated. Thous ands, milled, about Buckingham pal ace While he was sick, waiting to read for themselves the doctors' bulletins. When later he returned to London from his' seaside convnlescnce the route ,was enrongea ior miles. Last year 'the anniversary of his accsslon to the throne was made an opportunity for a nation's thanks for his safe recovory. There was a modest celebration .and thousands of mes sages of congratulations poured Into the palace. : Lost.Yenr nusv. . This; .his twentieth year, has been pocKea witn events important to tno British empire, which has been grad ually changing Its character. Early in the year he opened the naval . conference, which brought about ' a cessution of competitive building. ' ' Later in tho' year at the imperial conference the dominions pulled fur ther away from the Influence of Westminster, but gave the king added Importance as an empire figure. ' Then came the Indian round table conference, which tho king opened personally. Upon the secure settle ment, of this problem many observers believe the future of the empire ihinges.. , ..-.t. ..w There-imay'taG- dissatisfactions- with ON GREENS . : When the salad is served between . the main course and the dessert, it ' should be appetizing, light and tart. ; It should not be too heavy. The ; fresh simple flavors of greens are ' most appropriate. Lettuce, endive, cucumbers? or cold vegetables, such ' as asparagus, Brussels sprouts or string-beans. These salads suggest a tart, stimulating dressing . . . Bachelor Club Dressing, Vinaigr ette Dressing, or French Dressing. To make French Dressing: Six tablespoons of Wesson Oil, one tea spoon of salt, one-fourth teaspoon of pepper, two tablespoons of lemon juice, a dash of paprika, and season to your taste. ON FRUITS - Fruits, fresh or canned, have a more pronounced flavor than the simple greens. They call for a dressing less sharp, with perhaps a dash of sweetness or the tang of cheese, to encourage them to give us back their sunshine and full fresh flavor. The next time you have a fruit salad, try this Cheese Dressing: Cream a three-ounce package of ' cream cheese with two tablespoons of Wesson Oil. Blend teaspoon of salt; one-fourth teaspoon each of white pepper and granulated sugar, two tablespoons Wesson Oil and two of lemon juice. Beat into the cheese until it becomes light and fluffy. Then duSt with paprika. FOR SEAFOOD When salad is the main dish at 1 meal,, as at luncheon let us say, and boasts the full flavor of lobster, crabmeat, or shrimp, the finished salad should be garnished with Lcmonaisc or Tartar Sauce, but the fish should first have been marinated. To marinate: Mix six table-'.- spoons Wesson Oil and two tlblc- -spoons of vinegar. Add a teaspoon of salt, one-eighth teaspoon of pep per. Pour this over seafood and set "' aside "in the refrigerator for scv- cral hours. Serve with Lemonaisc. iauce lor tke Goose hot always Sauce for tke Gander Some things go well together like cranberry with turkey, jelly with duck, mint with lamb. And some things do. not. Nowadays when we make so many different kinds of salad no one salad dressing will, suit every salad. mix a dressing appropriate to the salad For instance on crisp, cool greens, a tart dress ing such as Vinaigrette Dressing. On fruit, try a sweet 'dressing such as Bar-Ie-Duc. Shrimp or fish, cm, the other hand, should always be marinated'J in French Dressing and served with Lemon aise or Tartar Sauce. We tyouLt) like to send you with our compli ments, a little book by Mary B. Murray on appropriate salad dressings a book that not only suggests what dressings go with what salads, but which offers many helpful sugges tions to thff hostess as to correct salad service.

Ife Knows II Ls Jolt: . The .' explanation Is that King George Knows his Job. V ; i .. He has brought the theory that England's kings "rule but do not gov ern" near perfection : Probably this is the result of the long apprenticeship he served- to his father and to Queen Victoria: He was a mature mnn, or wide travel and personal knowledge of tho empire before his coronation. He has seen the empire change to a commonwealth of nations, and Eng land go from conservative to socialist governments. And each time he has been ready to meat tho trend of -public opinion when it reached, him. In other words, - he has hnd ta think a jump ahead of the people. Most kings haven't been able to do that. Russian Heads : , Abolishing Card Ration System MOSCOW, May 13 m Premier Molatov and Coaeph Stalin, head of the communist party, Issued a Joint decree Tuesday abolishing tho card ration system for practically all com modities except food, fuel and certain building materials. i This system has been In operation more than a year. Due to a purport ed scarcity of commodities workers were required to obtain orders from their unions or factories to purchase shoes, clothes and other necessities from government cooperative stores. The scheme was described in the decree as having caused a growth of bureaucracy, an accumulation of large quantities of goods, mal-dlstributton of products and an nrtlficnl shortage. : The decree declares that "the oust ing of the private .traders does not mean that trade will bo abolished but on the contrary that government and cooperative trade must increase." This statement was Interpreted as meaning that light Industry will be greatly increased . and that there is no shortago of goods. Therefore un der the now "khozraschlot" system, for which factories and other organ izations aro made . responsible, the government will make an effort to place Bhops and stores on a basis similar to that existing In capitalist, countries. .a The government's move is visualized as. killing two birds with one stone ! gathering in excess rubiest for pur poses of currency, deflation and pop ularizing the Soviet regime.
