BEAUTIFUL CAKE
GIVEN PRESIDENT

Among the multitude Of wedding re-
membranes presented to the President
and Mrs. Taft, there was one which
probably appealed TO them more than the
rest and brought back the happiest recol-
lections Of a day twenty-five years ago.
Like dainty chic bride in her we'd
ding fnery, the wedding cake towsred in
the form Of a three-tier temple built
upon several sets OF icing pillars, was
covered with flowing ven draped from
the smallest cake, under q sugar pearl
coronet binding wreath Of sugar roses.
Through the mazes Of the veil could
be seen small cupids with their bows
and arrows drawn TO send their darts
over beds Of paiest pink snd white sugar

She was a popular girl. owing TO b.
good spirits and amiable disposition, and
she awakened to a consciousness that
she possessed the ignoble feeling Of jeal-
ousy when her beautiful rival swept
swept through the town, dominating
everything and everybody for the time
being.
and honest enough to acknowledge the
unworthiness OF her feeling. and She
was strong enough to determine to over
come It,
She looked for qualities to admire and
to praise in her rival, aside from her
beauty. These qualities were difficult to
discover. for the beauty was the victim
Of selhshnes and overweening vanity.
Ignore Others Faults.
Nevertheless. the other girl praised
every quality in her that was possible to
praise honestly, and resolutely turned
her face away from her faults and fall
ings.
Some years passed by; the two met
again, and 10! what a change,
The beautiful girl had grown into
hard, fretful faced, selfish woman, de-
void Of charm. Her self-centered
thoughts, her petty ideals, had driven
beauty from her eye. from her mouth,
and from her heart.
The wholesome girl, who. had taken
herself in hand at the first indication of
an unworthy sentiment, and who had
driven 1t from her heart, was now the
beautiful woman.
Her features had softened and refined.
Her eyes had grown larger and deeper.
her mouth anglic in its sweetness. and
from her atmosphere there radiated
charm felt by all who approached her.

work In her; so It will do its work for

A most interesting side of the much
debated question is presented by another
reader Of The Washington Herald, who
writes:
THE fact that woman is entirely cap
able to cope with political questions, and
undoubtedly would shine in politics, as
she has in all other fields upon which she
has entered, does not, in my humble
opinion, Justify her having the ballot.

possible to accumulate an equivalent
of half q seasons rainfall for the first

This freezes up in the fall and is

One important reason why q con-
tinuously cropped field does not give
good yields is the scarcity Of available
plant food found in the soil after 9
few seasons cropping. Plants cannot
take their food in a solid state, but it
must be dissolved in soil water and
carried up through the roots to the
tissues. The conditions which make
for the availability of plant food are
heat, air and moisture. Where q crop
is grown continuously, the demand
for moisture is such that little is pres
ent to make plant food available when
there is a sufficient degree of tempera-
ture present.
When the land is summer titled and
the moisture allowed to accumulate,
the condition for plant food activities
is most favorable, and so q lot OF
plant food is brought into an avail
able state. This is held over winter,
