The chart above clearly shows that in the post-war adjustments to higher
costs of material and labour, an outstanding job has been do'ne in main-
taining a low percentage of increase on the retail prices of Massey-Harris
implements made in Canada.
Raw materials are shown at 103.7% and wages of Massey-Harris Canadian
plants 119.1% increase over 1941. Yet Massey-Harris prices of Canadian-
made products were increased only 53% in the same period. This is a very
moderate increase indeed when compared with the index of all commodities
which is up to 83.8%.
Farm implement price indices increased only 53% whereas there was an
increase in the price of farm products of 82.3% and farm wage rates of
134.3%.
The great world demand for combines, tractors, and power machines has
created a volume which permits high operating efficiency in relation to
production and selling costs, making possible the partial absorption of the
increased costs of materials and labour. Massey-Harris will continue to
offer the utmost in up-to-the-minute design, quality of materials and work-
manship, and price value.
Chart shows Inc;ease to October, 1950, bvet October, 1941, except farm wages, which show the increases to August

Hello Homemakers! New ideas in
furnishing or re-furnishing a home
seem to have come to "light" in the
home during this recent houscovan,
Mg period, There is the matter of
drapes all along the wall un either
side of a picture window, shadow-
proof curtains in place of sash cur-
tains aluminum awnings and many
big items. Then look at the change in
decorating a bedroom today where
many plastic accessories make storage
dust-proof and may be had to har-
monize with a variety of color
schemes, The garment bags, shoe poc-
kets, hat boxes and orange crate cov-
ers make the place a source of pride.
Homemakers who possess sturdy-
built, solid pieces of bedroom furni-
ture may always feel their money well
spent, However, a mattress may need

Make Your Own
Hollywood Bed
Why not make you own Hollywood
bed, There is generally an old dis-
carded iron bed in the attic, store-
room or basement. If not, any second-
hand dealer is eager to supply you, he
will even saw them off for you.
Have the head sawed off 2 inches
above the rail-lock, and the foot, dir-
ectly above the rail-lock. Plug the
holes in the iron standards of the foot
with wood and cap them with plastic
coasters, upside-down. These cost five
cents each. Put one nail through cen-
ter of each. This makes a neat finish
and protects bedding from sharp edge
of metal. If the bed is too high from
the floor, the legs may be shortened,

Conservation, a subject which is being given increased attention in
many Ontario schools, is being taught to 44 city-bred boys between the
ages of 12 and 14 at Huntsville, The week-long experiment if it proves
to he a success, may become a part of the public school curriculum for

to be replaced by one of the popular
type of to-day—the inner spring con-
struction. Some of these mattresses
can be purchased of a new
comfortable material known as the
foamed latex as a lining over the
springs. (Pillows made of this sponge
are durable too.) Springs are equally
important. If possible they should be
bought to match the mattress. If
bought separately, the mattress and
springs should be paired to equalize
each other, both for comfort and
for long service. The three types of
bed springs are box, metal coil and
flat springs, and within these classi-
fications there are variations of con-
struction.
Pillows, sheets and blankets may
be selected to suit the purse and needs
of the household. However bedspreads
are chosen to suit the design of the
furniture, and for the purpose of the
occupants of the room. For instance
if the bed is used for seating, then
dark colored corduroy or one of mix-
ed yarns which are strong give better
service than satin or faille. Sometimes
window curtains of the same material
as the spread make an attractive
ensemble.
TAKE A TIP
1. When buying sheets, pillow cases,
blankets and pillows read the at-
tached labels, note the size and
judge the quality wisely.
2. There are two classifications for
sheets and pillow cases—percale and
muslin. And there are degrees of
fineness in both of these grades.
The finest of percales of about 204
thread count are luxuriously soft.
Regular percale have about 16J
thread count. Muslin sheets which
arc woven to take rugged wear, are
othea',ier threads and consequently
a lower thread count.
3. Consider how often blankets have
to be washed and how washed be-
fore you buy them. Also whether
two light blankets may assure more
comfortable sleeping than one heavy
one.
4. Judge a blanket by the depth and
evenness of the nap and by its resil-
lemy, A good blanket has a springy
quality when crushed in the hand.
Beware of blankets that shed when
brushed with the hand,
5. Electric blankets eliminate the
need for extra bedding, as by means
of an automatic control, warmth is
provided to make up for changes
in room temperatures throughout
the night.
6. A quick test for a firm Terry or
Turkigh towel is to hold the towel
to the light. Only tiny pin points
of light will show through a good
towel.
7. Many colored towels will stand
bleaching and strong sunlight. Dark
solid colors sometimes "bleed" in
the first 2 or 3 washings due to
excess dyes and they may be less
absorbent than while or pastel tow-
els.
4.4. All towels shrink somewhat in laun-
dering. check the tension in the.
border, seivedge and main section
ut the to.vvel to see that it is even.

2, Unless very soiled there is no reas-

is wise to soak linens in warm water
with detergent in it for not more
than 1 hour, Twenty minutes is a
good precaution against causing
colors to bleed and soil to set in.
