It seems| as if that would make the groom feel xather cheap, especially when he reads of some other man being the “best man” at his wedding. If he must be flattered, why not call him |} something else? —A “Good Man”"— _Keep It to Yourself A man we know has peculiar whims, He loves to quote Admiral Sims; Last night he got loud, And atracted a crowd— St. Anthiomy’s with two limbs. —Don’t Get Loud!— Pretty Deep It is reported that it has been so dry in Ontario this summer that the Afarmers living on the shore of a lake found it necessary to ferry their cat- tle across the lake to the other side to be watered. —A la U.

Last year more than 2,000,000 boys and girls in cities, large towns and in- dustrial villages'in the United States cultivated gardens under school direc- tion and supervision and produced many millions of dollars’ worth of veg- etables and small fruits to be con- sumed where produced without cost for transportation and handling and without loss from deterioration on the markets. There were many thousands | of boys and girls who produced more than $50 each in what would other- ise have been idle time, and thou- sands of acres of land that would have fain idle if it had not been cultivated by the boys and girls yielded more than §500 an acre. The educational value to the chil- dren was far greater than the value of the food products. That value in- cluded health, physical vigor, habits of industry, knowledge of plant life and of the phenomena and forces of na~ ture, and the beginning of the under- SELLIN' AT A N\CKEL A €OPVv, ' CONDENSED | his life for the empire at the front | WANY AN AD POT N “HE PAPERw " FOR SALE~-LPRGE DOG, G’ENT\.E, WLL COWS A CAN OF about five thousand of ~'théi, ™ com- memorates a Ballarat boy who gave in France, on the peninsula of Gal- lipoll and In Palestine.

It pays the community to make a battle for tree ‘treasures. It is a fight which should employ many differ- ent tactics and arms. First, perhaps, should be the selection for city plant- ing of trees that are most nearly fmmune to the more dangerous pests. Next is good care, and the foster- ing of birds which" do 50, much to check Insect plagues. Finally comes scraping and spraying to get rid of the enemies which, like the oyster shell scale, have broken through the other lines of defense. A good- tree is-worth flghtlng for. POISON IN RHUBARB LEAVES Their Use as “Greens,” Which Is Some- times Recommended, Is Fraught With Grave Danger. Do not eat the leaves of the rhubarb plant! From time to time one reads or hears advice to economize and also | to freshen and purify the blood by eat- | ing green vegetables. That is all right with certain important limitations, and one of these limitations concerns the | leaves of the rhubarb plant. Green vegetables have a very valuable place in the food schedule, and botled “greens,” such as cabbage, kale, turnip \tops and beet tops aré wholesome. The standing of the fundamental moral principle that every one should gladly contribute to his own support by his own labor, “The Unfted States bureau of edu- | cation will not be able to follow up for several years past,” writes P. P. Claxton, United States commissloner of education, “but I hope the interest | ot children, teachers, superintendents and school boards will not lag and that school-directed home garden work will be recognized as a necessity and an essential part of the education of chil: dren in all cities, towns and industrial villages.” g FOR BOYCOTT OF BILLBOARD Speaker Advocates Strenuous Action Against What Is Generally Recog- nized as a Nuisance. Declaring the automobile has made the billhoard a countrywide problem, E. T. Hartman of Boston, member of the Massachusetts Civie league, ad- | dressing .a meeting of the American Civic association, said that there is no best law or method for dealing with the problem presented hy the de- facement of both the city and the | country by outdoor advertising, The public, he said, can bring reme- dies to bear when it chooses to make | the effort.

The wood of a tree found in Pana- ma, Cavanillesia platanifolia, is even lighter than the celebrated balsa wood. The tree grows to an immense size. The branches and leaves.are at the very top and the trunk is like a huge column. The strength of the trunk is principally in the thick fibrous bark, while the wood is so fragile | that it crushes when the tree falls. - 0Old-Time Methods of Persian Bakers.
