Interest In Garden Work. I
The garden movement has nec
essarily become mostly an appeal
to the people to raise food for
patriotic reasons. But many
persons who are taking hold with
this feeling of obligations, are
going to find pleasure in it and
will discover that they have found
a new diversion. After the
aches and soreness incident to
using new muscles have passed
off, they will find that it i3 not
all drudgery as they anticipated.
A great many people have al
ways known this, and have kept
up garden work not merely for
reasons of family economy, but
because they found it agreeable
and interesting.
It is like any other form of
conscious skill. The moment
that by reason of intelligent
knowledge you are able to pro
duce a valuable result in spite of
difficulties, it is a pleasure to put
forth the necessary effort
Garden work introduces you to
the personality of the different
food plants and the true enthusi
ast feels a keen interest in all
their ways. He learns that .this
one needs a great-deal of sun
shine and that one a special
amount of moisture. Some are
sensitive to cold and must be
planted late. Others are bold
and hardy and can go in early.
Some are tough creatures of poor
soils, and will hold up their in
dependent heads on almost any
kind of land. Others are more
creatures of luxury, requiring
much coddling with fertilizer
and water before they-produce
their luscious fruit The gar
dener who watches all these dif
ferent habits comes to look on
his plants as a kind of family in
which all must be nursed and
trained according to their indi
vidual temperaments.
When any one acquires this
knowledge, it is with a sense of
triumph that he produces hand
some potatoes and beans and
peas after a struggle with the ad
verse forces of nature, and no
vegetable bought at a grocery
store every begins to taste so
well.
The Cost of Living
I hied me down to the butcher
store, for I felt that I had to eat
and I asked in fear at that
worthy's door the price of a
pound of meat "It is sixty
cents," said the butcher man, as
he mocked at my tears and groans
"and I sell it now on the new
style plan, where you have to
return the bones." So I went
out minus the hamburg chop,
now utterly past my means, and
turned my steps towards the
grocer's shop, in quest of a quart
of beans. "Potatoes?" hinted
the clerk to me: we've some
that are really prime, and today
we're letting them go at three
like these for a single dime. It's
so near cost that it hardly pays
(like everything else, alack!) ; of
course, you know, within sixty
days the skins must be all sent
back." Then I journeyed down
to the baker's place with hurried
and anxious tread, and with fear
writ large on my pallid face,
asked him the price of bread.
"They've doubled the price of my
flour and yeast and labor is
scarce and high, so if on bread
you are bound to feast" the bak
er said in reply, "pay eighteen
cents for a loaf you must that
used to be six before, and at
that you'll have to return the
crust or hand over two cents
more." When I'm thus perplex
ed by the problem grave of buy
ing the simplest grub, I covet
my ancestor's well-stocked cave,
kept filled by his trusty club.

Don't Walk!
Inasmuch as every man be
tween his 21st and 31st birthday
must go to the polling place in
his district next Tuesday and
register; and inasmuch as Borne
of those men will have either to
walk or hire a conveyance, a
number of automobiles owners
have generously offered to trans-
pott without cost any who may
not have a good way to go.
Young men belonging to the
townships of Tod and Ayr who
take advantage of this offer,
should make the fact known to
Leslie W. Seylar no later than
Monday evening. It is suggest
ed that similar arrangements be
made in the various other town
ships in theOounty.
Profits in Cattle Feeding
Six months of feeding of
twenty head of cattle on the
arm of the Pennsylvania depart
ment of agriculture in Delaware
county has resulted in a profit of
$24.48 per head. This shows
that cattle can be fed at a profit
in this state at the present price
of feed.
Agricultural leaders of the
state have been urging more at
tention to livestock on the larms
nnrl th rpstilt obtained on the
state farm as announced by Sec
retary of agriculture Charles E
ration shows tne pront tnai can
be made in this line.
LEFT BROTHER IN THE LURCH
Youngster's Enjoyment of the Play
Caused Him to Forget the Solemn
Agreement Made.
The writer's youth was spent in a
small town on the Ohio river, where
theatergoing to the stock companies
which frequented the place was in
great vogue among the younger Bet
The town was billed for the Black-
ton Stock company in "The French
Spy." This performance was pre
ceded by a lot of pyrotechnic display
and red lights.
After frugal saving for a week
prior to this time, on the night of
the performance our combined fund
only amounted to 15 cents, the price
of one admission to the "chicken
coop."
After a conference we resolved
that my brother should go in, see
one act, get the pass check and hand
it over to me with a synopsis of the
first act. In this way we intended
to alternate until the show was out.
He fulfilled his part of the agreed
ment, and I got the pass and went
in. But when my time to come out
arrived I forgot he was waiting out-
side until the third act was through,
and as my brother had sent up word
what he would do to me when I did
come out, I resolved to get the game
along with the blame and trust to
flcetness of foot to beat him home.
This I did when the show was
over. I did not stop to give him the
synopsis, either. Blaine Gray, in

KINO ALBERT'S WISDOM.
King Albert, as commander in
chief of the Belgian army, has re
cently exercised clemency toward 150
military prisoners incarcerated at
FresncB. After the experiences of
his army at Liege, Namur and Ant
werp, the king was obliged to intro
duce an iron discipline in order to
maintain a high morale among the
troops. The slightest offense was
punished with the greatest seventy,
Men who in ordinary circumstances
would have received a light penalty.
during the days of the battle of the
Yscr were condemned to five or six
years' penal servitude. Today, with
the army again strongly organized
and permeated with' a high spirit.
clemency can be exercised without
danger, and groups of the con
demned are set at liberty from time
to time.

wants me to find out what is the
matter with you. Flease let me look
at your tongue.

- The trench Bond Buyers.
The French people are the
greatest investors in the Govern
ment bonds in the world. At the
close of the Franco-Prussian War
in 1870 Germany demanded and
collected f rom France $1,000, 000,
000 indemnity. The French peo
ple, who were as loyal then in
responding to their country's
need as their soldiers are to-day
hastened to loan this tremendous
sum to their country.
Their patriotism turned a great
misfortune into a great benefit
Their thrift in thus saving their
money and investing it in Gov
ernment bonds not only brought
great prosperity to France but
the bonds rose in value all over
the world and made the French
national credit good wherever
civilization existed. Ten years
after the bonds were issued they
commanded a premium of 25 per
cent
What the American Nation is
called upon to do in lending the
American Government $5,000,
000,000 and taking its bonds
therefor is little compared with
the loan of $1,000,000,000 to
France after the Franco-Prussian
War by the French people. Call
ed upon to do much less than
their present allies, the French,
