Death Claims Little Boy
Death crept into the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Mike Ceranek, of
South Melville, early Wednesday
morning, May 25th, and silenced
the prattle of one of their little
children, Earnest L., a lovable lad
of six years. The little boy looked
quite natural as he lay in his little
white casket by the open window
overlooking the hills and fields
where Earnest was wont to ramble
and follow in the furrow behind
tne plow. The summer breeze
crept in and gently pushed aside
the curtain of gauze and caressed
the sleeper's face so still! so white!
As we looked upon him thus we
could not refrain from readjusting
the thought of Shakespeare:
"Death lies on him like an un
timely frost
Upon the sweetest flower of all
the field."

Popular from the Start
Then came "Betty." The home
demonstration agents sent out by
the state agricultural colleges, in
cooperation with the United States
Department of Agriculture, intro
duced Betty to thousands of farm
homes, and also to other thousands
in towns and cities. Betty is a
dress fcrm made of strips of
gummed paper tape molded on the
figure over a tight-fitting under
vest. This home-made form is,
naturally, an exact replica of the
figure.
I The idea was instantly popular.
[Every State in the Union now has
Betties by the hundreds, and the
reports received by the Depart
I ment of Agriculture show they
have not only saved money for the
owners but they have caused wo
men and girls to see themselves
as others see them, to straighten
up, to stand with the shoulders
back, to avoid the slouchy atti
tudes too common among human
beings. "Well," exclaimed a large
fat woman in a group, "that's the
first time I ever saw my back as
it really is."

some one's word for it usually, or

were obliged to have several try
ons, and this took time that should
have been used for other things.
