Figures on the volume. of employment, and the need of farm hands in the agricultural regions, which have been compiled by the bureau of crop estimates, indicate that the supply is both more plentiful and less expensive. At the same time, it appears that the farmers this spring are getting along with as little hired help as they can. The percentage of normal supply of and demand for hired far mlabor is given by the bureau of crop estimates, beginning with 1918, as follows: Relative Supply 95.2 72.4 Ratio of Supply to Demand 108.8 68.8 Relative Demand 87.6 105.3 84.4 101.8 82.9 72.9 J 101.4 71.9 The survey of the bureau was conducted according to states, and a careful resume made of the conditions that were found to prevail in each state.—The Farmer. . R SRR A I FITTING CEREMONY AND APPROPRIATE PLACE The value to Bemidji of the new armory is rapidly becom- ing apparent. For the first time, Bemidji citizens were able Year 1921 1920 1919 1918 to gather in an appropriate building yesterday and participatei in a community patriotic meeting, and what could be more in- spiring than the audience which gathered yesterday afternoon to take part in the Memorial Day exercises? = With the Stars and Stripes floating over the heads of all assembled and here and there interspersed the uniforms of the soldiers and sailors of our army and navy betokening those who have fought for our country and those who are ready to fight again when the occasion requires, who could listen to the- stirring words of patriotism and noff be touched? It was apparent that all were duly appreciative of the event commemorated and the appropri- ate manner in which it was commemorated. —_———— POLITICS IN THE PULPIT? Politics in the pulpit? No, not politics as such; but if a political party enters into an “entangling alliance” with a moral issue that fact should not close .the mouth of a preacher and prevent the application of the Word to the question at issue. Though it may be lamentable foolishness for one to devote an entire sermon to a politico-ethical issue, that preacher would be decidedly wanting in stamina who cannot pay his respects thereto in a brief but forceful manner.

She ! planned to return on a late afternoon | Interurban car, and burried from store to store. She bought several articles at a department store and was walking rapidly toward the exit thinking where. she would go next. In her haste she dropped one of her packages. * A floor walker recovered it and handing it to her said: “Here is your parcel, madam, Call again, please.” “Thank you, I will,” she replied. “You bring your folks and come over to see us real soon.” { To Brighten Carpets, Rrighten your carpets after the dust has been beatep out of them by scat- tering on them cornmeal mised with salt, and then sweeping them off.

DBl D B Y By Professor A. C. Arny, Ag: ronomist. University Farm, St. Paul. Minn. Green Feeds On farms where the hens have free range they probably secure suffici- ent green miterial without special provisicn being made. However, the hens say by their actions that Blue- grass on the lawn is not as palatable as thq newly growing grain in ¢lose by fields. On a city lot or two, per- manent green ranges are not practi- cal. Here the-available space should be divided into three or four runs. Fach may be successively spaded and! sown, thus providing fresh ground as well as throughout summer. When to turn the hens in, depends on the amount of green feed available. ‘These feeds may be supplied by lawn clippings as they are made, waste let- tuce, beet tops, cabbage leaves and other garden products that hens like. A very small plot of alfalfa will fur- nish -much green feed which may be cut and fed throughout the summer. ‘Where large runs are available, Ken- tucky blue grass and brome grass are probably the best permanent grasses. Unless they are cut frequently, they do not furnish - highly palatable| green feed. Alfalfz is the best leguminous| arop for ranges which are to be left| for several years. It also must be cut frequently in order to keep .ten- der growth available. | | Essentials ‘Where the alfalfa is to stand for| several years, seed of the Grimm va- | riety should ibe used. It is higher hl‘ price than the seed of common alf- alfa. This seed can nct be distin-| guished by looking at it, and there-| fore, should be purchased cnly from | reliable sources.

CALLS FOR STEADY NERVE Duty Devolving on Cook for East African Monarch Can Not Be Called a Sinecure. The Rev, John Roscoe, rector of Ovington Norfolk, kept members of the Royal society wondering for more than an" hour while he lectured on his Jjourney through East Africa, where he went on a tour of investigation on bebalf .of the government and the Royal society. King George was amused by the traveler's description of the royal serv- ants at Bunyoro, one of the places Mr. Roscoe visited. He described their duties in his lecture in London. “The king's chief cook has a very trying job,” sald Mr. Roscoe. *“The custom {is that every morning he brings to the king a pot of speclally prepared meat, with which he must walk all around the royal enclosure. With his face whitened he enters the o presence, and in a dead silence throughout the court, which may not be broken by coughing or.sneezing on pain of instant death, the chief cook puts a piece of meat at the end of a fork into the king's mouth. “He does’ this four times, but if by chance or mervousness he touches the king's teeth with the, metal fork he dies instantly, “These servants find the ordeal so trying that they can only carry it out for a few days, after which they are sent away for a six weeks' holiday. That is all the meat the king is sup- posed to have in a dny and for the ~rest he.lives on milk."—London Daily Mail. .
