"Poppies in the Wheat"
The more children the merrier when
playing "Poppies in the Wheat" for
| there needs to be band each to rep
! resent the grain and the flowers.
The Poppies kneel or sit on the grass
in large circle, with space enough
! between them for a child to pass
| through. The Stalks of Wheat do this,
| repeating at the same time some verses
that picture the poppies and wheat
growing together. The players try to
act out their parts as described in the
F., lines:
''Drowsy little poppies, nodding in the
wheat,
Dream you all the summer there is
naught to do but sleep?"
| cries the Wheat, but the Poppies only
close their eyes and nod their heads
more drowsily. Then, gently swaying
as they move, the Wheat Stalks con-
| tjnue:
In the sun the heat waves, bend
ing to and fro
Anxiousy it's whitening head DER in
| I1oraDtc baIouy.
That there comes harvest surely does
it know"
Indeed; every one at hand can hear
the wind blowing, for the wheat stalks
Immediately make all sorts of whis-
Ting noises with their lips. When the
poppies hear it they shrink and shiver,
but still remain drowsy. Then the
wheat speaks again:
Hear the autumn wind blow, buffet
ing the wheat?
Shivering in slumber, shrink the pop
pies at its feet.
| Across the field a sound comes, click
of knives and steel,
with rising voice)
Ilully, iilllS pOppiSSJ VI llS SIIuS you III
feel.
Goudly calling and shaking the flow
ers)
Waken, poppies, wake and flee, the
| field is ripe to cut"
No sooner is the last word out OF
their mouths than the stalks of wheat
begin to count twelve, as fast as they
can, stepping back so as to make an
other circle just outside that formed
by the poppies. These spring up al
once, for unless they would be caught
and be put out of the game they mus
each one run across the circle anc
pass out between the wheat stalk:
standing directly opposite to them
selves. The stalks between which they
pass must catch them If possible, but
they cannot do so until the count /:
finished OF course, the catchers try
to hasten this process.
II If there are many children playing
and the circle is very large it may b'
necessary to count to fifteen or more
in order to give the poppies a fail
chance to escape. Some of them are
hound to be taken at each round of thu
game in any case When the player
have been reduced to two or three th'
game may be considered ended.

HOW TO RAISE CELERY
BY Pearl PaIIa, Age II Years,
Class c

In the peat lands celery can be
grown in beds and by June the plants
are ready to be set in fields. The plants
are pulled, the tops trimmed to make
the celery more bushy, then the roots
are set in deep burrows. Boys and girls
can help do this work.
Celery is carefully cultivated. AS
the plants grow the dirt is gradually
filled in the burrows. When about
ready for market the dirt is banked
around the celery nearly to the top.
where 1t is left about two weeks TO
bleach. The stalks turn from dark
green to a creamy white.
Then the field is plowed and the roots
are cut with a celery cutter. Men trim
and crate the stalks and then the celery
is sent to market.
The peat lands have been low and
swampy. but when they are drained
and cultivated they are very rich.
Here in California they use peat shoes
on the horses. The shoes are made of
square boards that are fastened OH
horses feet to keep them from sinking
in the damp soil.
The white plume and golden heart
varieties of celery are most generally
raised. The golden heart is a self
bleacher.
A celery field is a beautiful sight, with
it's long, straight rows of green plants.

Dependent Over Brothers. Death,

Death by blowing himself to atoms
With dynamite while soaring in an airship
far above the earth is believed to have
been sought deliberately by j. e. Baldwin,
who persisted while making an ascension
from the county fair grounds in Green
vile, Ohio News of the death of his
brother in abject poverty reached the
aeronaut i snort time before he set out
on his fight. The pathetic circumstances
which attended the death of the brother,
to whom he was devoted, plunged him
into deepest grief Baldwin, who lived
at Losantville, Ind, was blown to otis
by six sticks of dynamite, which he ear
ried in his car. The disaster occurred
in the sight of $4,000 persons assembl led
on the fair grounds. Baldwin's wife
and two children were watching the ex-
hIb!tion. Airship exhibitions had been
given by Baldwin daily during the fair
this week, one of his devices for adding

scarcely could mark the transition, the

smoke A few seconds later crashing
detonation cracked the atmosphere and
drove the crowd into panic. AS the
mass of smoke cleared fragments of the
light material that had constituted the

seen dripping earthward. Pieces of
Baldwin's body were picked up over an
area of several acres.

ELECTRIC PLOW PROMISED.
Trolley System Is to Be Applied to
Breaking Farm Land.

Trolley System Is to Be Applied to
Breaking Farm Land.
A Minneapolis machinery company has
under construction the working parts of
an invention that may prove to be the
working of revolution in the matter of
breaking ground on bonanza farms, of
which there are so many in the North
west and which may be used even on
smaller farms wherever there is an en-
CINE handy that can be put to the use
intended.
The idea is no less than to pillow the
fields by electricity, by the use of an cleo
trio llow. The plow itself is to be OPP
Grated by electric power, and is a large
gang affair which will turn over a wide
piece of earth. \ threshing engine IS to
be used to furnish the electricity, a dyna-
mo to be attached.
The pillow is to be run by trolley. the
wire to be run from the working dynamo
to the fartheSt corner of the field. The
pillow picks up the wire as it runs, and
when it arrives at the far end of the field,
an easy arrangement alters the position
of the feed wire so that the whole field
can be reached in that way.
1t is claimed for the new idea that it
will be a most wonderful labor saver,
and that it will do wonders in the way of
speed, running about four times as rap
idly as horses can pull Il plow of the
same kind. 1t will also be much more
handy than steam, because of the fact
! that steam machines of that kind are so
heavy that they are unwieldy and cut
into the field, especially when the ground
! is soft.
1t is claimed that if the pillow works
reasonably well, the same idea can be put
to use in working harvesters and other
farm machinery. which will do away with
the necessity of having so many horses to
feed all through the year, when less
would be necessary under the trolley sys-

PLAQUES GAIN GROUND.
Cholera, Yellow Fever and Bubonic
Plague Are Making Trouble.

Plaques of three kinds are now
scOurging many parts of the world.
Bubonic plague has just made its ap-
pearance in the isthmus of Panama, and
several laborers are dead at Colon. The
same name, off the southeast coast of
Africa is also infected by the plague.
Cholera has made it's appearance in
Germany and Russia, and many deaths
have been reported. The German i'm
peral health office has made the follow
ing statement concerning the probability
that cholera would reach the United
States from Germany: THE danger of
the migration Of cholera to America
from Germany is remote. Since the expe-
riences of 1923 arrangements have
been perfected to combat the disease
even if its importation cannot be pre-
vented Hamburg and Bremen are the
most dangerous spots and to them the
greatest care has been devoted The
water system of Hamburg, which used
to be fed from the Elbe, has been
changed, so that no drinking water is
taken from the Elbe That was the
cause of the epidemic of 1892"
Yellow fever has been raging for
weeks at New Orleans and in other
parts of the South, coming as far north
as Missouri Deaths in New Orleans
alone have reached 4 total of 293 While
the disease is undoubtedly spreading out
side New Orleans, the health authorities
claim to have the epidemic under control
in the city.
