Among the nations of Europe Tur
key is the only one which flies no Red
Cross in time of war; Though a party
to the Geneva convention, Turkey has
steadfastly refused to use the emblem
of that convention. the Greek cross, to
protect its sick and wounded in time
of war, says the Westminster Gazette.
In place Of the cross the Turkish army
medical corps makes use of a red cres-
cent on white ground. but this de-
parture from the recognized interna-
tional emblem has never received the
sanction of the nations signatory to
the Geneva convention. There is lit
tie doubt that Italy will look on the
crescent as equivalent to the red
cross.

THE SCHOOL FOR coURTsHIP.
WIS.

Courtship is an art so fine and sub
tie that the world has gone on for
thousands of years with scarcely a
thought of reducing it to anything like
a definite science to be taught and
learned by rule. The romancers, to be
sure, have woven innumerable tales
from this Garden of Shy Love, and
lately the realists have begun digging
Justify among it's roots andd hidden
tendrils; indeed, the typical novel OF
today is concerned far more with the
physiology than with the sentiment of
courtship. Matrimonial bureaus have
been established, too, and perhaps in
certain desperate cases they have JUS
titled their trade. 1t has beer left,
however, to high school in Los An
geles to lead the way by establishing
a thoroughgoing department for the
art Of getting married-and o stay.
Ing married, says the Atlanta, Journal.
The courses are proving Immensely
popular. There arr five classes in
which the girls are carefully tutored in
matters of department during the vari-
GUS phases Of wooing. They are also
instructed in household management,
home dietetics, dressmaking millinery
and the care of babies. 1t was origin
ally planned that the boys OF Los An
geles should be permitted to take these
courses next year. There is now pre-
vailing opinion, however, that this will
be altogether unnecessary, for when
the girls have mastered their subject
and have sharpened their instructive
skill with special knowledge, what
need, pray, will there be OF any man
knowing anything at all about court
ship? The fact is, the average dam
sell though she should be reared, as
Ferdita was, upon a lonely trouserless
island, can come upon the carpet at IS
ard win as many proposals Is she sets
her head to. o, those wise women of

There are more ways of getting the
most out of the land than adding to
its fertility by blowing in guano or
phosphates. "Seedcorn" Holden has
been lecturing TO the members of the
New York produce exchange and tell
ing them what he told the Iowa farm
ers. that it is worth while to every
farmer to take pains in the selection
of his seed. Planting the best seed is
rewarded when the time comes for
gathering the crop. Observation in
Iowa has shown that fifteen per cent.
of the corn kernels planted a-e dead
before they are sown 1t is not diff
cult to add ten bushels per acre to the
production by simply taking care with
respect to the seed. Ten bushels more
per acre would add nearly billion
bushels to the corn crop. Undoubted-
ly it pays the farmer to take pains in
the selection of seed.
