The cause of the coolness of winds passing over alfalfa fields is that the plant abserbs much moisture, the evaporation of which reduces the tem- | perature of the air and lessens the summer heat in the adjoining land over which it blows. | The suggestion now is for farmers that wish to profit from the presence‘ and the board money of summer va-| cationists to combine the pryfit and | utility of alfalfa with highér rates| from hot-weather boarders attracted | by the cooluess of the ten-acrg refrig- erator around the house, i Little by little men ave beginning | -to learn how to utilize the means pro- vided by a good Creator for their com- tort/:md well-being. HE HAD LEARNED SOMETHING Christmas - Incident ‘That Shows the Way of a Modern Mald With { Her Vietim, ! He was a very nervous young man, | but he was rather pice, and Elsle | thought he was worth encouraging. She allowed him to take her to tea, she deliberately chucked the slipper in his eye at “Hunt the Slipper,” and she gave him a dance or two. Once or twice she sat down under the mis- fletoe, but he didn't seem to notice that. | At last when they were alone in | a corner of a room, she stood long and insistently under . the mistletoe hanging from a curtain pole of the bay window, Then, very nervously, he pecked-her face. Shenof course, protested mild- 1y; but as they-seated themselves once more, most respectably on:a couple of chairs, she kept the conversation on mistletoe. At length he ventured: “It is—er— a nice Christmas custom, hanglng up mistletoe, but I wonder why they al- ways hang it over doors, windows or ' chandellers?* “Because it's not necessary .to live nhy out on the stairs or in any other dark places,” she murmured softly. ¢ Ecuador. It was one hundred years ago that Ecuador liberated itself from Spanish rule, To commemorate the anniver- sary, Beuador has Issued a serles with nineteen denominations—one centavo to one sucre—each bearing a portrait of some man who won renown in Ecuador's history. The dates 1820 and | 1920 are a part of the design. Greatly ! to the surprise of collectors, no 20-| | centavo denomination appeared as part of the set, for Ecuador’s. sets for forty years have included one of that value. Inquiry brought the disclosure that 62,000 coples of a 20-centavo were printed, but the.. value description, veinte, meaning “twenty,” was through an error spelled viente instead. The postal authorities destroyed the entire lot, .and a.20-centavo- will appear as %oon as a new plate has been made.— Youth's Companion. . Comment “Sarkastic. Now the vacuum subway express has been invented. Working some- what after the fashien of the pneu- matic cash carriers that have long | . been in use in department stores, the trains proceed from one tunnel station to another, according to prospectns, at the rate of 150 miles an hour. This speed Is attained with-slight expendi- ture of power, because the vacuum system removes all alr resistance from the front of the train and applies ex- panding air to the rear.
