A story on one of the young society
matrons has just come to light which
is too good to overlook; and while
strenuous efforts have been made TO
keep it quiet it has spread to a sufi-
cient extent to reach some of her dear
est friends-and SO has become public.
in the early autumn she sought a gift
for a bride living on the far eastern
shore, and she selected as appropriate
2 beautiful japanese vase in a local
shop presided over by a careful Orien-
tai. The price was agreed upon and
paid, the matter of packing and ship
ping was left to the Oriental But as
the lover OF beauty turned to leave the
shop she stepped back for one more
look at the lovely vase. By a sad acct
dent she dropped il and broke ii into a
dozen pieces. Consideration was as
nothing to the realization that she could
not afford another gift which she
thought suitable, and so she decided to
send the thing and leave the condition
TO be attributed to breakage in transit
She told her plight TO the wise and
careful Oriental, who promised to ship
the fragments safely She received the
letter of thanks some time ago, and
in it was the inquiry as to why each
piece was wrapped so carefully In tissue
paper and tied with string.

One of the most exciting paStimeS of
the present timefs called counting the
silver" If any household has had the
temerity to retain from the vault any
quantity of silver for the purpose of
supplying guests with implements of
turkey fare. the first amusement pro-
vided after dinner is that referred to.
There has also been a good deal of
close calculation on the part of house
keepers in regard TO how little of the
family silver may be safely retained
on hand.
If those thoughtful and anxious men
could look in at one of the church fairs
and see the liberal patronage bestowed
on the doll booths they would cease to
worry over the advent of the Teddy
bear. The way the home dressed dolls
have disappeared so far is enough to
make one wonder where they go. The
little girl may be fond of the bear
who isn't-but there's nothing quite like
a really truly dressed doll baby

BY c. G. Williams, .n.o Experiment

One of the important things to be
settled re sarding the selection of seed
corn is, when shall this. work. be done?
1t may seem little out of season to
call attention of the corn growers
to this matter at this time Of year,
Many growers do not worry much
about seed corn until a week or two
before plant s, Some,~ however, are
beginning to learn that there Is bet
ter way, that the rail pen, or the mid
die Of the corn crib is not the best
place to look for seed of high quality.
If seed corn be not gathered and so
cared for that it is either thoroughly
dried out before freezing weather ar.
rives, or is kept where the tempera.
ture does not fall much below freez-
ing. the vitality is likely to be greatly
impaired.
For the sake Of higher quality along
other lines than termination. progress

sity for the fall selection Of seed. Ears

he great desirability Of uniformity
8 applied to color. Growers who sell
he bulk of their crop, rather than
eed 1t, will certainly find 1t to their
advantage to avoid the mixing OF
varieties and colors. In districts
where much of the corn is sold farm.
,rs should agree upon a variety ana
all grow. 1t, thus avoiding mixing
through -pollination. ~
Position of Ear.--1n the selection of
mr. her plants the position of the ear
is worthy Of notice. Extreme nay
wei be avoided. Ears borne at too
gr height tend to, pull the plant
ov as maturity approaches. The high
ear also makes husking In standing
corn difficult. 1t is probable that the
continuous selection OF the higher
ears tends to reduce the size Of plant,
shorten the. growing season and de-
crease the yield. A medium height.
to be determined by each grower for
his own locality, is to be desired.
The seed and market condition of
corn is greatly favored If the tip, OF the
ear points downward. thus shedding
water.
The Care o. Seed corn.--While 1t h
beyond the purpose of this short CIR
cular to treat at length Of the care OF
seed corn, few words should be said.
Seed corn as brought in nom the
field has high content Of moisture.
II, in the attempt to dry 1t out quickly
artificial heat ia used, with LITTLE br-nO
attention given to ventilation, the
chances are that the germ will stare
to grow. Artificial heat Is dangerous
at this stage. The important things
are ventilation, a dry atmosphere and
q moderate temperature. Corn snS

time.

Blackfoot Night School

The school has steadily grown un-
til on Monday night there we're thirty
six enrolled.
The pupils are just taking up book
keeping. The arithmetic tablets have
arrived and were distributed. The
problems are taken largely from
Civil Service papers.
No fees are charged for tuition.
DR.. Harrington feels confident that
the remaining seats will soon be filled
He can accommodate only forty-one
pupils. When this number has been
reached no more will be admitted un-
less some one drops out.
Some pupils we're greatly surprised
when they did not have to recite
separately. No one but the teacher
knows how little or how much each
one knows.
