Which of the 21 was dearest to her she herself could not tell, but, when the two eldest boys, Joseph and Louis, went away to war the large Caranek family was cast into shadow. “What else should I do?”*Mrs, Caranek ques- tioned. “They .‘are Americans and their country needs thém. If it i:a duty to raise children, it is right to make them love their country.” But when Joseph and Louis came home— Joseph served overseas with the Rain bow divislon and fought in four big battles, ‘while “Eouis fought' in “and around Camp Beauregard—the little: ‘grocery store could scarce contain the Jjoyful celebration.

The use'of -the word “lot” to des- ignate a field or plot of land, is uni- versal in the United States. It had its origin among the Puritans, and ence_to Biblical custos. Among the early settlers of New England the extensive salt-marshes himself to as much hay as he wished. As. the population increased thls con- ‘| dition could not prevail wich general the .marshes equally among all the i families. lical fashion of lot and the portion which fell to each man was known as “his ‘lot.” In a short time the word came to apply to any piece of land, any great quantity. Cooking for a King. ~ America is Luke Patzcuaro, in [the Aexican state of Michoacan,. which has been called “a crystal gobiet held high in the cool grip of the Sierras.” The town of Patzcuaro was the seat of the old Tarascan kings, and in its plaza women ‘and -boys still sit beside their fires at night, selling vegetables in sacks, ‘say8 the New York Evening Post. Fishermen from the huts that cling to.the steep sides of the lake islets are picturesque figures in the streets. Once when a great king moved from Patzcuaro across the lake to Iguazzio—where now are pyramids and a ruined amphitheater—he left his royal kitchen behind, but ‘not wishing. to change:his diet, he had a train of very fit slaves carry his meals 18 miles around the lake shore from the. ovens at the court. “Acknowledging the Corn.” . The -expression “to acknowledge the corn,” meaning “to confess to a charge or imputation,” had its origin in the misfortunes of a certain up- toufitry ‘gentlenian years ago in New Orleans. This individual arrived in that city with.two flatboats, one laden with corn and.the other:with potatoes. His_first night there he entered ‘into:a disagtrous. 'xambunpfi game - ~during L which-He-lost all s hohey~and finilly put Tup- his two boat-loads - and ‘Jost them: 5 Returning to the wharf after the game he discovered 'that ‘the boat a total loss.

For the production of individunl blossoms of greatest perfection, as well as to secureia succession of bloom, severe pruning of cut-flower roses must be practiced, says the United States PDepartment of Agriculture. Where a large number of blooms of small size is the aim, the pruning is less severe. In the spring, dormant roses which have been. set in the fall should be cut back, leaving only 2 or 8 stems with 4 or 5 eyes on each. This will leave them 6 inches or less in length.'

Third St, Minneapolis e ey 13D Union Pacific System Every Standard Qil Product a Primary Product HE term by-product is susceptible of mis- nterpretation. In the manufacturing activ- ities of the Standard QOil Company (Indiana) there are no by-products. The making of every product is a separate activity. Each is made to conform to a predetermined standard, and is judged strictly on its merits as a primary product. Lubricating oils made by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) conform to a standard fixed by lubricating engineers to meet the needs of various types of machinery. The standard being fixed, it is necessary to obtain crude oil of the particular type best adapted to yield the lubri- cating units which will conform to this standard. There are many kinds of crude petroleum, each differing one from the other. Even between the oils delivered by different wells in the same field a_considerable variance has been noted, One kind of crude oil will yield a maximum of lubri- cating oil of fine quality; another may yield little, or none, of these fractions, but will yield a maximum of gasoline. In selecting crudes for lubricants, for instance, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has been careful to choose those which have the physical characteristics necessary to maintain the correct lubricating body under werking conditions. These crudes are then carefully processed and refined to produce the long line of lubricants manufac- ' tured and sold by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). Their manufacture is a business in itself. From the choice of materials which go into them, down to the last operation of refining, they are of primary consideration. This care in the selection of raw materials; every step of the refining pro- cess, and the fact that products manufactured by this Company are of superior quality is recog- nized é;enerallv. This is evidenced by the.fact that during 1921 nearly 25 million gallons of Polarine, the Perfect Motor Oil, were needed to- supply the demand. Ky So with every product refined by the Standard 0il Company (Indiana). Each is made to perform a certain service, and each goes to the consumer with the unqualified guarantee of this C(‘)mp;mF | that it is exactly as represented and that jt will give a maximum of service, at a price which is fair to all.
