I give the recipe for chop suey which is fine to serve at Halloween feasts. The rice is to be eaten with chop sticks. which are to be retained as souvenirs, each pair being tied with red ribbon.
 One five-pound chicken.
 A pound and a half of tender beef
 One pound of celery.
 Two pounds of bean sprouts
 One ounce of Chinese sauce. known as soi
 One can of mushrooms.
 Salt, thickening
 Cook the chicken and beef together till they are very tender, take out all the bones, add the mushrooms, onions sliced in very thin slices, the celery sliced in thin pieces. and do not cook very long; then add the bean sprouts and the thickening, and last the soi. Enough for ten people
 To obtain the bean sprouts soak beans in water till they absorb 1t all. then keep them damp and in very warm place The sprouts come very quickly, so there is plenty of time to prepare them. Soi may be purchased at a large grocery or at Chinese store; lacking these. use Worcester shire sauce. Serve the chop suey in bowls with rice and the tea in cups without handles For the table cen terpiece have witch's kettle with in cense burning inside

Every little veto has a meaning of it's own.
 A bird in the bag is worth ten in the bush.
 Not even time can change coun- terfeit man.
 A dull pIowshare knocks the bottom out of the oat bin
 To help somebody is the finest thing in the world.
 A bluff won't carry one to the heights of success.
 The successful maR is the one who capitalizes his mistakes.
 Hope may be firm anchor, but it makes mighty poor dinner.
 Agricultural efficiency is the key note of agricultural success.
 Linoleum on the kitchen floor saves many hard hours work.
 Practical cooperation among farm CTS and between neighboring rural communities is needed.
 Resolved. That the middleman and the speculator get the benefit of the high cost of living instead of the farmer
 There is no surer way to friendship than the honest and sincere apprecia- ton of the good qualities and merits of others
 Personal liberty is a grand thing and should be the privilege of every man, until he begins to tread on his neighbors' toes
 When man takes pride in sweep ing his barn floor every day. it shows that he is in love with his calling, and we will bet our old shoes that he is prospering.
 Good thoughts are helpful, almost as much as good deeds, and if we can not help man materially we can do him a mighty good turn by always thinking well of him.
 Every man should so live that he can at all times and in all places say just what he means and mean just what he says without hurting the feelings of others or making himself unduly conspicuous.

The Yarn Charm to Find Partners.

The Yarn Charm to Find Partners.
 One of the oldest stunts for Hallo- we'en was to find ones future mate by the aid of ball of yarn. A maiden was to take ball of yarn and toss it through an open window ana then hold the end in herr hand and walk away If she was to carry. with in the year the ball would be picked up by the man inside, who began to wind up the yarn and thus draw her back to him. young matron should use this method of finding partners for her Halloween supper. which IS to be served at 8:30. Knowing the preference of her guests, she will nave the right man for each maid conceal ed in the garage. One at time the girls will be given a ball of warn. there being one ball for each girl. and she is to go alone through the yard, which is to be lighted only with jacks" in the trees. When the man winds up his maiden. who is instruct ed not to drop her end no matter what happens, they will go out a rear door of the garage and into the house by a side entrance. Then the next man Is slipped into the hiding place and another girl started to meet her fate. There are to be ten couples. so this will add much to the fun and mystery. If the details as given here are not practical, the same scheme may be worked by throwing the ball over a transom or over bannister down stairs.

FARMER IS MOST NEGLECTED
President Barrett of Farmers Union Issues Bulletin on "Conserva-
 ton of Farmer"

On the eve of the Conservation sas City, permit me, as the executive head of more than 100000 Ameri- ran farmers, to say a word in behalf of the conservation of the farmer
 You can go the length and breadth of the land and you will discover that the American farmer is interested in conservation. There is every reason why he should be. The fertility of his farms. the motive-power for his farm-machinery, the rainfall for his acres, are all affected disastrously by deforestation. And he is equally con cerned in other items of the conserva- tion program, insofar as they apply sources of this country in which he has a common heritage.
 But, is he also not worthy of con servation? I am convinced he is know him well. It has been my life work to know him, The government has expended billions in pork barrel projects. in other public improve IltltS anu, ESldllNely, D6uulco lllS farmer.
 In way, he has been left to work out his own salvation unaided l do not discount the efforts of the fed eral or state agricultural department. But I ask frankly. if they have more than scratched the surface of the farmers needs?
 To conserve the farmer. who pays pro rata. the largest share of direct and indirect taxes in this country, 1t is essential to provide means to increase his community facilities. to supply the rural districts with facil ities more nearly resembling urban ter schools, to make his homelife more enjoyable
 We boast of the growing size of our cities To make great cities has been the American dream Is it not time to transfer some of this energy and enthusiasm to the country. to build up rural districts. to make them blossom. to make them more attrac- tive, to make them so attractive and so full of opportunity, in fact, that the denounced drift from farm to city will cease?
 We talk of patriotism. At every crisis in this country's history it has been the patriotism of the farmer that has rescued the nation from an- initiation l tell you on the author ity of certain knowledge that if you pay more attention, more intelligent attention to the farmer. you will make him a better patriot, finer American, more ready to lay down his life, as he has always been ready to lay 1t down. for the good of his country.
 But conservation of the farmer will be intellectual if he is conserved sim ply as a-specimen! He must be conserved as a man. as an Ameri- can. He is this nations best assets. He provides all your necessities, your every comfort. I ask you. Is it not worth willie paying him such close attention that when trouble comes. as pray God! it may never come again he will again be the heartfelt, spon, taneous bulwark of thiS17. .ountry?
 Let us have another slslngan in this country And let us make it, bust ness men and all. intelligent con servation of the farmer!"

PROVIDE ROOM FOR THE BOYS
Any Corner That Will Hold Chair and Bed Is One Reason Why Many
 Lads Prefer the Barn.

(By KATHERINE ATHERTO"
 GRIMES.)
 Too many times the boys room fs the last to be considered. Any corner that will hold a bed and a chair will much anyway and what does he need of anything more?" may be one req son perhaps why he prefers the barn.
 Sisters bright front chamber with It's new curtains, pretty carpet, and dainty furnishings makes quite a con trast to the back bedroom fitted up with the lame-legged tables and de crepit chairs that have been retired from active labors. where Johnny spends his leisure.
 This is manifestly unfair. Sister thinks she owns the parlor too, and that ought to do her. A boy usually feels that the only place in the house where he is free to do as he likes is his own room. Then let it be as bright and attractive and as much to his taste as possible.
 boy likes large room. He may want to swing Indian clubs or even wrestle little in a quiet way on rainy day and he wants plenty of space. ''Flummadiddles," such as girls delight in, are in the way of such recreations and should be omitted.
 But 1t is possible to have tasty. cheery, honey room, without sur plus of rutfied cushions or such fancy trumpery.
 A painted floor with large rug is the ideal arrangement for any room. Any floor covering will do that Is fresh, clean and not dark or dull colored
 The bed should be light and easily movable A substantial iron bed. enameled to correspond with the rug or carpet is best As he is sure to abomlnate "shams' and fancy spreads, plain white slips and Marseilles covers are to be preferred. His initial em- broidered on the slips ia sure to please him.
 The dresser should be 4roomy, but not loaded with trinkets. He will like it best to make his tie and collar boxes himself and then if mother or sister understands typography. they may be finished III dainty way. The use of initials on such articles always suits him best
 He may also make his own book shelves to fit any convenient space. If he does not choose to fit them with glass doors, pretty curtain will do.
 Indian arrow heads and similar relics should always find a place in a boys room.
 A three cornered cabinet that will fit into a corner is easily made and may be finished like the shelves.
 In one boys room an unused win- dow was turned into case for guns and fishing rods. It was backed with thin boards and lined with dark red calico fastened with border of brass tacks. Glass doors were used for closing and it made very pretty ap- peara2ce when filled with the shining implements of sport.
 A good sized writing desk or table, covered shoe box, a closet with books and shelves and plenty of good books and magazines, will finish a room that any boy might be proud of.
 If there is no place for his tools. of which every boy needs supply, neat chest may be added for these
 With such a room for his very own. what boy will want to spend his eve nings away from home? He will be more likely to ask his friends in to help him enjoy it.

NEW NEWS of YESTERDAY

speedily be weather stations all over the country.
 T am sure, too," continued General Myer, that ultimately this service is some day going to give the country perfect weather service. Of course. perfect weather service means that we must know what the weather con- ditions are far out upon the oceans that bound us. but the more I have thought about the matter, the more am persuaded that some day some means will be devised by means of which almost instant communication from midocean with the mainland may be secured. It must be overhead communication. for you cannot tap the ocean cable so as to send reports of weather conditions from the deep. There are atmospheric conditions over the ocean which, am sure. will yet be utilized for the conveyance Of in telligence. and when that discovery IS made we will have taken a long step in the direction of securing a perfect weather service.
 Years later came Marcon1 with his invention by means of which the Hertzian electric waves are utilized for the transmission of intelligence from midocean to land; and l have often thought that General Myer, the creator of our weather bureau system, must have had some diln. prophetic intuition that told him of the coming of this achievement.

General Albert ]. Myer, Discussing That Service In 1871, Seemed to Have Some Intuition of
 Coming of Wireless"

One of the most thrilling events connected with Sherman's struggle for Atlanta in 1864 occurred at Allatoona, Ga, when the small Federal garrison there was doomed apparently to fall into the hands of division of the Confederate army, sent against it by Hood But al the last moment by means of the system of flag signals which he had invented before the war, when he was an assistant surgeon in the regular army, igadier-General Albert J. Myer, then in command of the signal service corps of the Union armies, was able to summon from General Sherman the assistance that saved the garrison. It was during this interchange of signals that Sher- man sent the celebrated message that became the theme of one of the great gospel hymns of the world: Hold the fort; for l am coming"
 The year after the civil war was over General Myer was made chief signal officer of the regular army. Four years after. when congress had S'NNAOl lLNd lltC StCi SIdl Oi wal do provide for the observation and pre- diction of storms-the official begin ming of the Federal weather bureau General Myer was placed in charge of this work. and so became the coun- try's first official weather prophet.
 day or two after the meeting of congress in December. 1871. l met General Myer by appointment in his office in Washington, and told him that had been sent by some citizens of New Haven, Conn.,, to say to him that If it would be possible for him to establish a weather bureau station in New Haven, convenient and other wise suitable home for the bureau would be furnished rent free by the owner of one of the city's largest buildings
 If l had the money I would like to establish weather bureau in every considerable city on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts" replied the general At present. however, I am only author ized to establish twenty-four stations, and l am going to make the money go as far as I can in the establish ment of stations along our Great Lakes. want a sufficient number of stations from Duluth, on Lake Supe- rior. to Clayton, on Lake Ontario

One of the Earliest Examinations Un- der the System in the New York Post. Office Described by
 H. c. Pearson.

Tt was in the New York city post office, in lS-, that the first attempt was made to establish in this country a genuine civil service. The attempt was purely voluntary. in the sense that it was not commanded by law. But we thought that. if civil service could be shown to be entirely feasible in so large an office as that of New York, it would be found feasible in every department of the government, said the late Henry G. Pearson. who was postmaster of New York under Garfield Arthur and Cleveland. MT. Pearson was assistant postmaster at the time Postmaster Thomas l.. James established civil service in the New York post office, and the scope and plan of the system were worked out by Mir Pearson.
 At first, we met with a good many endorsements" MT. Pearson con
