The fellow that elbows his own
horn" is sure to be heard. That is
what he blows it for-to be heard.
He has his reward, as did the other
hypocrites who made long prayers
on the corner of the streets" spoken
of in the Gospels. In both cases
people hear a noise. 1t is wind, an
empty sound.
Agriculturalists are aware of the
fact that potato vines, while they
generally put forth fowers-bloom
there are very few of these blossoms
that produce seed balls. This con-

We are concerned about the
shortness of the summer here anc
