Thrift, Love, Romance
Interwoven in Patchwork
Quilt Maxwell Heirloom
Portland Wheat '
By MAUDE POOL "
In a little cabin of hewn logs a
blaze burned cozlly in a huge fire
place. Nutshells were cracked with
gusto a Father delved Into the mys
teries of a hunting tale. Over by the
spinning wheel In the corner Maggie
was pacing quilt scraps from calico
Such is the story one may read be
tween the stitches of an old, old
paten wcrk quilt made sometime In
the Into 1700 s. This quilt Is the
cherished possession of M. W. Max
well of Ruch, whose . grandmother,
Maggie Wallace, sewed the time hon
ored rtile with deft and loving fing
ers in her girlhood days In North
Carolina some 7.30 years ago.
Its colors still are bright despite
the probable fifty laundorlngs In old
fashioned soft soap. In tie substan
tial homespun, togetner with the ex
cellence of hand stitching common
to those days mare than 40 years be
fore Howe's first sewing machine
came Into use, has been wrought an
article which has withstood the test
of tlms and long use.
Nine blocks of 130 piece pattern
suggojMng the sun's ray constitute
the quilt, which has an Individual
ity all ts own. More than mere cloth
has ben pieced into this pattern.
There is thrift and love and romance,
and visions known to every young
girl of happiness down through the
years in a new home somewhere
with cnlldren in It (there came to
be -eleven children In that home.)
Somewhere In the making of this
old quilt has been caught wisps of
sadness and sorrow, perhaps, as well
as the joys that centered around the
home hearth In simpler days. In the
yellows, greens, reds, and blues rang
ing from the white centers of each
block lay memorials of every mem
ber of the family yellow from little
sister's first school dress blue from
the Lhlrt of a bare foot boy, per
The targe blocks are attractively
set together with strips pieced of
homespun In the man tie) of the old
familiar "rob Peter to pay Paul" de
sign. A six Inch border resembling
the present day cretonne stitched
around the outer edge adds charm
to this quaint piece of work, w.hlch
is finished with yellow hand turn
ed binding. A first glance would mis
take this binding for bias tape, yet
Inspection reveals that It is not cut
cn ths bias, and Its good condition
shows a quality not found In tapes
today.
Sewing scraps to reach a measure
ment of more than 8 feet square
would astound the modern quilt
maker, but Mr. . Maxwell's heirloom
Is of these dimensions and Its mas
sive ness suggests deep, restful slmu
bers upon an enormous wool mat
tress topped with those downy gray
goose feathers, with a big bolster and
fluffy pillows to grace the huge
wooden bedstead of those colonial
days.
Into the Intricacies of the quilt
ing went 1,400 yards of thread (7
spools) And In these delicate stitch
es mnoe by a patient hand of long
ago stands a challenge to those who
would establish a renaissance of
quilts and quilting today from those
other days when the patchwork quilt
was an institution in colonial America.

PneumaWc tire efficiency provided
for tractors last year has now been
extended to farm machinery.
For years farm machines hare jolt
ed slowly over rough fields, limited
in speed by the steel wheel with
which they were equipped; but In
troduction of a new combine har
vester, which cuts and threshes grain
in one operation and designed for use
with Ooodyear tires, forecasts a revo
lution in farm machinery design.
The low pressure tires on which
the combine Is mounted minimize
shocks to such an extent that the old
speed for harvesting machinery Is
stepped up considerably and the
capacity of the machine Is increased,
accord in gto engineers of the Oood
year Tire and Rubber Co. In addi
tion to Increasing the speed of the
machine, use of pneumatic tires play
ed an important part in reducing Its
cost to a figure appreciably lower
than that of larger combines.
"This is an Bge of speed," declared
H. O. Merrltt, manager of the trac
tor division of the Allls-Chalmers
Mfg. Co., producers of the combine.
"There la no reason why the farm
machinery Industry should sit back
and allow developments of present
day engineering to pas it by. We
feel that we should adopt new auto
motive Ideas in farm machinery, es
pecially when they not only reduoe
the cost but also Increase the out
put." Designed for lightness and efflcl
necy, the new combine weighs but
2400 pounds a light load for a trac
tor to pull on pneumatic tires and
is smaller and more compact than
previous large machines. Due to the
speed made possible by the pneu
matic tires, however. It can do as
much work In a given length of time
as larger combines. An Innovation is
Increasing width of the threshing
cylinder to equal that of the cutter
bar. The stalks of grain go directly
into the cylinder head first, and the
width of the straw stream is always
the same as the width of the swath
cut by the sickle an Ideal long
ought by all designers of threshing
machinery In use since the flail.
The smaller size of the combine,
coupled with the decreased amount
of power required to operate the cut
ting, threshing and cleaning mechan
ism, make It possible for any two
plow power take-off tractor to be
used In its operation.
"Air-tired tractors, which have been
In use for some months, and now
the air-tired combine, set a goal In
the new era of farm machinery de
sign, the ultimate purpose of which
la the lowering of crop production
costs and a reduction of the farmer's
Investment In equipment," Merrttt
concluded. ,
The- combine, which will harvest
soy beans as well as wheat, oata and
other grains, has met with wide praise
following demonstrations before farm
ers, department of agriculture offic
ials, university professors and farm
machinery expert.
FRAZlffi STATE
An order In administration of the
estate of Frank D. Prazler. insofar as
It Is located In Jackson oounty, was
filed today In circuit court. Prazler
died in Chicago last June, leaving an
estate worth between $6,000,000 and
$7,000,000. His Jackson county pro
perty Is estimated at $5000. Frazler'a
father In the 90's was one of the
leading grain brokers of the middle
west, and with James D. Patten cor
nered the wheat market.
Prazles was well known to scores
of residents of this city and valley
during the "boom days," and was
one of the lavish spenders of that
era. He owned an orchard tract near
the city. He left here In 1916.
Prazler waa the first resident of
the valley to own two automobiles.

"Porter," according to the authorities
a few days ago departed suddenly
from his mining claim In the Steam

information reaching the state po

with the words: "They want me for
that killing in New Mexico." He left
his tools behind, and gave his mining
claimconsidered better than the
average to fellow miners.
"Porter" had excavated a number
of placer hole's on the land, and had
reached "bedrock." State police have
Inspected the property In search of
clues.
"Porter," the authorities say, told
acquaintances that he waa going to
the head waters of the Chetco river.
In a wild and Inaccessible section of
Curry county.
The state police are checking with
New Mexico authorities, and expect
to locate "Porter" In Curry county,

It's a fact so-called "salad dressings'' contain

Water is cheap, Miss Lombard
and that's why you pay less for
these new "salad dressings."
For even the finest "salad dress

than a cooked-up mixture of water,
vinegar and inexpensive cereal

stirred into a little mayonnaise.
Sow do you wonder that "salad
dressings" can be sold for less
than real mayonnaise? Perhaps,
knowing the facts, you wonder
why they sell for as much as they
do ('5 less than a true mayonnaise
like Best Foods).

Best Foods Mayonnaise always.
There is no substitute for its fine
ingredients the same ingredients
you use in your own kitchen.

But ; ; : if you feel that you can
not possibly afford this supremely
fine mayonnaise : : s then be sure
to serve the finest salad dressing,
