batch OF grafters who We're getting
fat OF the sale OF dope at dollar a

duce potatoes without vines at cost
of cents a bushel by soaking the seed
in solution made from it. People
who win bite Oh bait OF this kind

natural and easy prey OF sharks and
swlndlers. If they don't get skinned
with one game they are bound to fall
victims of some other just as raw and

the harvest time of Il lifelong cheerful

SHADE ABOUT THE HOME.

AS between "a treeiess,- sun beaten
yard and one covered with surplus of
shade there are few people but
would prefer the latter condition, and
yet from the standpoint of home sani-
tation and individual health the former
Is far the more desirable. 1t Is hut nat
ural that there should be a prejudice
against taking out any of the shade
trees about the home which for years
have furnished nesting places for feath-
cred friends, provided refreshing and
cool retreat from summer sun and
served to break the force OF winter
winds. We come TO look upon these
mute friends with real affection, and
no wonder that as result of such at
tachment formed through long years
OF association we are loath to cut them
out, root and branch They have al
ways served us well, and II is with
real twlnges OF the heart that the day
arrives when it Is necessary to thin
them out and let In the germ destroy
Ing, wholesome sunshine, whose mis-
sion as preserYer and restorer OF
health was never realized In so large
a measure as today. III the house Is
completely wrapped In shade, moss
elings TO the roof and little or no grass
grows beneath the trees the time is
ripe for action. Shade ls good and
pleasant, but from the standpoint OF

Give the other fellows all the rope they
want. but insist on being 1t"
Elf you have a keen rival. give him
FIVE nights in the week if he wants
them, but never take the siding for
him. ASK for but little, but insist upon
getting il, and if you don't get it. jump
the game.
3-Let the girl do most Of the chas-
ing. She likes to do il. ard will like
you all the better if you force her to
tag. Also, you will like her better. II
she won't chase, there's noting doing
for you, anyway.
i-Dont show jealousy of anybody.
Be especially Indifferent to the fellow
who is giving you the hardest race.
Never fora minute assume that any
body can beat you out
5-Don't be hypocrite. Don't give
up anything for the girls sake that
you wouldn't give up for the sake of
your own self-respect.
6-Allow the girl the greatest pos
sible freedom in regard to men friends;
don't Inonopolize her time, and keep
an anchor or two to the windward in
the form of pleasant. friendly init
macies with other girls There'll be
lots of times when you'll need an
anchor.
keep this thought in mind: If you
lose you'll get over it. They all do.
