Buckwheat. E MUST be buckwheat cake lovers. We are the third largest buckwheat-produc- ing country in the world. Russia leads and France is second. Can you think of buckwheat cakes without sirup and cold Winter mornings? However, buckwheat is not an im- portant crop in this country, except to the honeybees. For every bushel of buckwheat we grow, there are pro- duced about 200 bushels of corn, 60 of wheat, 100 of oats, 4 of rye and 15 of barley. The Northeastern States grow more than any of the other States, and 60 per cent of the buckwheat crop is pro- duced in Pennsylvania and New York. It is a valuable crop to plant for destroying weeds that love to grow on thin, acid soil. It takes kindly to old and new land alike and is an ex- cellent Summer cover crop to be turned under for the enrichment of the soil. Moist, cool climates are ideal for buckwheat, While it is very sensitive to the cold, it can be grown in very cold climates, because it matures in 10 to 12 weeks. The three varieties grown exten- sively in the United States are the Japanese, the common gray and the silverhull. These are not grown sep- arately, as it is considered best to mix the seeds, half and half. The reason for this plan is that the Japanese va- riety grows into tall and less-branch- ing plants, while the silverhull is a low-growing plant. Thus the ground is fully occupied and, besides. there is a few days’ or even a week's difference in their blooming time. If one crop fails to set seed, the other crop will. Buckwheat is not a cereal, as many think it is, because it has similar uses, but is a grain crop that may be fed to poultry. A grain drill, or sown broadcast and harrowed into the soil, is the usual method of planting. A scythe or cradle is used when harvesting the crop, unless a very large acreage has been planted. when machinery is used. i 3 “Muses,” who were nymphs or god- desses. 'Twas said that there were nine Muses, daughters of Zeus, and that they acted as the rulers of sing- ing, poetry, dancing and other arts. ‘They were supposed to sing in chorus on Olympus, the mountain home of the gods. Apollo, z0d of youth and music (and sometimes called the sun god as well) played a lyre while the Muses sang. There were no Muses in actual fact, and Apollo was just a god of fancy; but there was much singing and other music among the Greeks. Greek boys were trained to sing and play upon the lyre. The olden lyre was not really “a small harp,” but it was something like a harp. It had strings in an open framework, the same as a harp; but the strings were of almost equal length. There is a great difference in the length of a harp’s strings. Stories tell of the old Greek Homer singing about the fall of Troy while he played the lyre. The custom of singing and playing at the same time was widespread; and the one who forful, togs — fashions ingrediert S DIVORCE an evidence of prosperity? When people get money do 'Fa e /O F / riy they buy a divorce as they do a string of pearls or a 16-cylinder car or a yacht? Does divorce belong in the luxury class? N - winter sports Apparently it is so regarded. During the darkest days of the depression divorce fell off almost to the vanishing point. Now that times are better the number of husbands and wives who have discovered that they are incompatible and simply can't stand each other any longer has increased by such leaps and bounds that more than twice as many divorces have been issued this year as last, and this boom in the divorce business is generally attributed to the rise in prosperity. season. ONE would have thought that exactly the opposite would have happened and that at a time when people’s nerves were shot to pieces by having their livelihood suddenly taken away from them and the savings of a lifetime lost and when they were called upon to endure unaccustomed privations, husbands and wives would have found more than the usual amount to quarrel over and that frazzled matrimonial bonds would have snapped like pack threads. But quite the reverse happened. In the face of a great calamity, little disappointments, iittle irritations, little differences were obliterated. Husbands and wives clung together like frightened children in the dark, finding comfort in each other’s nearness and in having some one Who belonged to them, so that they were not alone in an alien world. TROUBLE brought qut the real manhood and womanhood in many a husband and wife, as plenty had not. Many a couple that had been on the verge of divorce found in each other in those dark days such courage, such sportsmanship, such loyalty that they fell in love with each other all over again and wiped Reno forever off their maps. Another reason, of course, why there were fewer separations is that divorce is expensive and that those who had no money to pay the grocery bill Lad still less money to invest in decrees absolute. Also, undoubtedly, the lack of the price is the beginning of virtue, and it cramped the style of the philanderer to have a flat pocketbook. Gold diggers do not waste their time on panning anything that isn't pay dirt, and so poverty removed temptation from the pathway of many & man and woman. 'HAT prosperity does increase divorce is amply proved by the fact that millionaires swap their old husbands and wives almost as often as they do their cars. Not only this, but when a poor man makes money it is mighty apt to be like a dynamite bomb under his doorstep that blows his home to Kingdom Come. The first thing many a man does when he gets rich is to divorce the faithful old wife who has toiled at his side for 30 years, helping him to make his fortune. Human nature is the same in all of us.

How It Started BY JEAN NEWTON. To “Make” Money. ANYBODY who was caught literally making money would soon find himself in jail. Actually, most of us make as much money as we honestly can and, of course, do not go to prison, either. We make the money in the sense that | we _earn it. This connotation for the phrase “making money” dates back many centuries. It was in common circu- lation in the fifteenth century and | by the time of Shakespeare it was appearing frequently in literature. The great bard used it in “Othello” in act I. scene III, where Iago says: “Make all the money thou canst. . . . Thou are sure of me; go, make money . Traverse; go; provide thy money.

The work is done early in the morning. when the buckwheat is damp with dew, so that the seeds will not be lost. Then, after a week or 10 days, stand- ing in shocks to dry out, the buck- wheat is threshed either with a flail or by machinery. Buckwheat flour is used in the United States for the making of griddle cakes. A kind of groats is made by removing the hull and breaking up the inner part of the grain, and is used as a cereal. It is not much in demand The outer hulls, removed in milling, are used as packing material for bulbs and bottled goods. It is also used for fuel and a little of it mixed with stock feeds. ) The middlings, which are obtained in milling, are composed of the por- tion of the grain just under the hull and the inner covering of the grain and the kernel germ. These, well mixed, are considered very valuable as food for cattle and produce a greater flow of milk. Last, but not least, the straw is sometimes needed to feed the stock, as it contains carbohydrates and is rich in minerals. It makes excellent bed- ding material, though it wears out quickly. As a source of honey material it is almost perfect. One thing the plant does is to produce many flowers, and one plant will bloom for a month. Not only many flowers for the bees to get nectar, but each flower has eight nectaries! One acre of buckwheat produces 150 pounds of honey, if the bees have worked the field thoroughly. The honey is dark and has a most distinctive flavor. (Copyright, 1024.) Bride Queries “T)EAR MRS. POST: Iam a widow, and have been living alone with atives, and I have no parents living. I am marrying again, but would like to have just a few friends with me at Could I serve a buffet break- fast of cut-up oranges, scrambled eggs with bacon, hot Parker House rolls and coffee, or is this not enough? May I act as hostess at my own wed- ding and reception, and could my son stand with me and give me away, or would that not be possible, since he is only a boy? Please tell me a little of how this could be arranged.” Answer: Write or telephone your friends that you are to be married on such a morning and that you want them to come. At so small a wed- | ding—and a second one at that—I should, if I were you, greet your guests as you would on any other day. ‘When every one has arrived, the bride- groom and his best man stand at the clergyman’s left (his right from the view of those facing him). You then take your son's right arm and join | the bridegroom in front of the clergy- man. Don't make a procession of this—just cross the room with your left arm through your son’s. It is entirely-proper that your son give you away. Afterward, you receive every one’s best wishes and have breakfast. If you serve the menu you suggest, the marriage should be not later than 10 o'clock in the morning. It would be very suitable for that, or an earlier hour, but it would not do for the mid- day meal—especially if, in your com- munity, it is customary to have mid- day dinner. —_— Sonnysayings BY FANNY Y.

Because they are no longer interested in the same things or don't want to live in the same place. But no poor woman who has to wash and scrub and cook to make a comfortable home for her husband and children and walk six blocks to a cut-rate grocery to save a few pennies is bothering about the state of her affections or whether she and her husband live on the same mental plane or not They have a topic of conversation and a bond of interest that never fails, and that is how to make a living It is the ces that a husband and wife make for each other and the fight Y put up that welds them into one.

SPROWLS. “Yes Men.” ’I‘O SAY that one is a “yes man” is often a partial judgment. Some of the strongest men I have ever met are “yes men.” They will stick to the status quo in spite of all reason and even ultimate profit. This takes cour- age at times. I have known “yes men” with the most liberal of educations, with charming personalities, who might in the shuffie of any set of circumstances stand out as strong indiyiduals. A “yes man” is not weak until he realizes what he is. Sometimes it takes years for him to make that im- portant discovery. Not one in a thou- sand sees himself as others see him. The reason he is a “yes man” is that constitutionally he abhors change and variation, He takes pride in being like the people who are at the head of things. The weakness of the “yes man” goes back, not to some inability to e different from his group, but to a desire to have his group around him at all times. He figures rightly that in union there is strength and safety. He is looking to the day when all the individualists will have died from dif- ferences of opinion. Nie times out of ten, he guesses right. Human na- ture is more pack-minded than most people think it is. Most men would rather be one of the hounds than the hare. In that sense, we are all “yes men,” more or less. Of course, there are differences among “yes men.” Some, for in- stance, make a virtue out of their weakness. Unable to think even with the pack, they take on the carbon- copy face to save themselves. In such cases, the common-sense thing to do is to go ahead and be a “yes man.” This sort is more to be pitied than censured. They suffer from cura- phobia—the desire to avoid respon- sibility.

Of course, he meant the corn shocks. “There are plenty of good loca- in one of these apartments,” said she. “Why not?” demanded Danny in surprise. “For goodness sake, tell me | why not? Everybody else wants to.” “That's the trouble,” said Nanny. “Just what do you mean?” Danny asked. “Just what I said.” squeaked Nanny impatiently. “There are too many Mice round here.” “Nonsense!” exclaimed Danny. ! “There is corn enough here to feed | ten times as many. And a lot of these | apartments are still without tenants. Nonsense.” Nanny shook her head obstinately. “There are too many Mice living too near together,” said she. “Of course, | there is food enough, and, of course, there are plenty of apartments still vacant.

What would become of all these Mice then, with their food gone and their homes destroyed? Then, too, I have been using my eyes.” “What do you mean by that?” de- manded Danny. “I've noticed that there are too many people around here,” replied Nanny. Danny thought this over for a min- ute or two, but he failed to under- stand what Nanny meant. “What other people?” he finally asked. “Black Pussy the Cat for one,” re- plied Nanny promptly. “I have seen her here every day and on one or two nights since we have been here. There hasn't been a night that Reddy Fox and Mrs. Reddy haven'ic been here. Hooty the Horfied Owl and Spooky the Screech Owl are here early every evening and just before daylight every morning. You can peep out almost any time of day and see Blacky the! Crow and his friends somewhere in this field, and you know as well as I do that they like a little fresh meat with their grain.

In this complex chemistry it is not at all unusual that precipitates are in such form as will not permit of their ready elimination. They collect as clinkers, debris, and if this happens to be in the urinary tract. then we get a nucleus on which salts of various kinds are deposited, growing con- stantly larger by accretion till too large to pass the ureters; or, if formed in the bladder, then these masses of salts become too large to pass through ‘Whether the accumulation is in the kidney, its pelvis, the ureter or the bladder, the process of formation is the same. Sur- gical removal will give relief for the time being. but it does not prevent the formation of other and perhaps greater stones in the near future. Oxallate of calcium or oxallate of lime is the basis of most stone forma= tion in the urinary tract. To expect relief from stone formation while con- tinuing to create this waste is to ex- pect the miraculous, and miracles do not have any place in our daily pro- gram of the body. Raise the body alkalinity to the nor- mal by use of much alkaline food, such as cooked vegetables and greens of all sorts, raw vegetable salads of every- thing good in its raw state, plenty of fresh acid fruits, as oranges, lemons, grapefruit, grapes, peaches, pears and apples. Add to these milk or butter- milk, preferably buttermilk, and the body will soon come to a state of much higher alkalinity, and will be- gin at once the disintegration or the involution of masses formerly result- ing from a deficient alkalinity of the | body. This is radical cure, because it is removing the cause. Without a cause, no manifestation continues long to per- sist, for under every manifestation of any kind whatever is a cause, and if we are too dense to see this cause, it proves nothing. Recognizing the cause and removing it is the only radical treatment for any disease of any kind, not less so for stone than for a cold. It has been my experience that stone in whatever location will always disappear when the causes of its cre- ation are removed and kept continu- ally removed. ‘The surgeon will hold up his hands in horror at such a statement. His experience with stone is always only its surgical removal, however, and you can discount his objections to any ;lhebory of self removal by right eating abit.
