1t is good idea to follow a system

to be about the same size and built
after a good substantial plan. TNe

very successful way Of putting bundles

bundles in the pair should be set out
at the butts TO give good slant when

heads of the two outside pair slant
well to the heads of the center pair.
The end bundles should also slant
sufficiently. Now place three bundles

Using Up Old Ribbons.

Have you a lot of bows, sashes and
hat trimmings that are too faded and
shabby for further use? Rip out all
the stitches, clean off all spots, press
all wrinkles and then put them into
a dye pot with silk dye.
If you select ribbon of nearly the
same color and quality to go in the
pot at one tipe you should have
enough good looking ribbon to make
nice plated frills for the winter petit
coat.
These dyed ribbons can also be util-
ICED as color Innings, facings or In
making a patchwork quilt. For such
permanent work. however. It is better
not to dye as 1t sometimes rots silk.
Wash ribbon carefully and use the
best bits.

Bathlnu Caps and sllppers,

It is said that the prettiest bathing
caps seen on the beaches this season
are those fashioned from gayly printed
English chintz in twisted turban de-
sign. When the slippers match, the
effect Is extremely good. Any girl who
knows how to sew could cover primary
bathing slippers, while the millinery
part of the costume is q very simple
matter. She can wear the turban or the
mob cap style, as considered becoming.
Both are fashinable.

II ones constitution will not permit

THE SUGAR BEET.

"A subscriber, in Adams County,
asks a number Of questions about the
culture Of sugar beets; it is quite
probable that many of our readers
are interested in the subject. In Mich
igan and other States where consid-
cradle attention has been paid to the
industry, the interest seems to be
growing, and the indications are that
growing the beets for the factory is
fairly profitable business for the far
mer. Years ago when experiments
with beets were carried on at Perdue
and in other parts of the State the
sugar per cent. in our beets was found
to be fully equal to that in other
States where trial was made with
them, and where since then large and
prosperous factories for making the
sugar have been maintained. We
have never fully understood why In
diana failed to engage in the beet
sugar industry.
One question asked by our corre-
spondent is How many tons of sugar
,beets can one expect to raise, per
acre, on ground that will produce
from seventy-five to ninety bushels of
corn?"
That would be number one land
and would produce a crop of beets
considerably above the average,
which is from twelve to sixteen tons
per acre. Such land as he describes
ought to be good for twenty tons. The
factories pay from 81 to $3.50 a ton
for the beets, the cost of producing
and harvesting varies from s25 to
$50 an acre, so that a twenty-ton
crop would be quite profitable

PROVES ELECTRICAL FACTS.

the Nobel prize for Professor Albert

PLANTS AND THE SOIL.

There is no soil so poor that 1t can
not be made to grow flowers, vege-
tables, shrubs and trees well, II prop
erly treated. Successful cultivation
demands two things-a good mechan-
zeal condition of the soil and rich
ness. The first is equally as impor-
tant, even more important than the
second. Given a soil in good mechan-
ical condition, it is simply necessary
to work in the proper amount of we'll
decayed manure at planting time.
Never dig fresh manure into the
ground just before planting. If you
have none which is well rotted and
can not get any, then spread the
fresh manure thinly on top Of the
ground between the plants and allow
the rain to wash it in gradually. II
the soil has been cultivated before
and has plenty of decayed vegetable
matter in it, excellent results may be
had with artificial fertilizers bought
from the florist or scotsman.
Bone is good, but it is not COM
plete fertilizer. Wood ashes should
be used with caution, rs the large
amount of lime they contain may do
mischief. The best is what is known
as a complete fertilizer. Ask when
you buy it how to use it and never
use more than directions permit. A
very light sprinkling over the soil
after spading or blowing and then
raked in is best. Chemical fertilizers
are very strong and will kill or in
jure plants if used to excess.-Indian-

FLOWERS IN THE YARD.

LIZ w Ems In lAlL 1NAND'
Besides the shrubs in the yard we
must have flowers. Plant all you
can afford to buy, if you are prepared
to take care of them. If you do not
wish the trouble of caring for them,
do not plant them. Starved, sick,
disconnected flowers cry out for help
to every passerby. Cruelty to flowers
should be made a criminal offense.
It is almost as bad to abuse beauti-
full flower plant as to beat horse.
Don't plant in round beds. Plant
in long beds in front of the shrubbery
where the flowers can have the back
ground of green foliage. Plant the
tall, brilliant-colored flowers at the
back, the cannas, hollyhocks and the
like. Take that big ugly Gamma bed
out of the lawn and string the cannas
out two or three plants deep in the
front of the tall shrubbery way back
in the yard Plant the smaller and
more delicate ones near the front.
Plant some sweet-scented flowers
near the porch and near the windows
of the living room. Plant little tri-
angular beds in the sharp corners Of
the walks. Above all, do not put
clashing colors together.-Indianap'

The proposed change IN the system
oe government may be a matter of
years. Its authors disclaim any con-
nection OF the Ballinger scandal with
it. The change, IL 1t is ever made,
will probably come long after Mr.. Bal
linger has retired. 1t is not advo-
Gated as a means by which a substi-
tute Cabinet officer can be chosen to
supplant MIR. Ballinger.
One Of the reasons urged for the
new department is the Panama Ca
nal. When that enterprise is COM
pleted it will have to be administered
by business men. The War Depart
ment and the Navy Department will
protect it, but when 1t comes TO the
eSactions of ships tolls and other
business matters business men will
be called upon to take charge.
Mr.. Hammond said:
Il believe that a Department OF
Public Works, similar to that which
is maintained by the English Govern
ment, wo aid conduce to a more eco
nomical administration Of the various
interests Of the United States. A de-
partment which would take over the
control of the physical property of the
Government, which would Supervise
and take care Of the expenditures for
buildings and other big improve
ments, such as the Panama CaLal and
other projects, would be the best bust,
ress policy which could be adopted.
The various bureaus and other organ
izaUons which now control these en-
terprises and this enormous wealth
are, by reason Of their variety and in
diylduality, unable to conduct the fis-
cal affairs OF the Government as adj
yantageoLsly and eXpeditiously as

Guile OF air Is IN rapid motion, but we
measured the order of magnitude of
energy of agitation and find It to
agree with the computations based
upon the kinetic theory.
I'm brief the method by which all
these results have been obtained is as
follows: We blow cloud of fine oil
or mercury drop by means OF an
atomizer, and introduce one Of these
drops through a pinhole. into the
space between the plates of a hori-
zontal air condenser. The droplet
there catches one or more of the ions
which normally exist In air or which
have been produced in the space be-
tween the plates by any of the usual
ionizing agents, like radium or X
rays. The time of fall Of this droplet
through n measured distance is OBJ
served when no electrical field exists
between the plates, then a field of
strength between 5000 and 5000 volts
per centimeter Is thrown on and the
time OF rise of the droplet under the
influence OF this field through the
same distance is again measured. This
operation is repeated and the speeds
checked an indefinite number of times
or until the droplet catches a new ion.
when its speed, under the influence of
the field, instantly changes, though
the speed under gravity remains con-
slant. From the sign and magnitude
of the change in speed the sign and
exact value Of the charge carried by
a captured ion is determined. The
air In a single observation need not
exceed one-third of one per cent.
From the values of the speeds OBJ
served all Of the conclusions may be
directly deduced." -.
