cashier courteously replies.
And he speaks the truth. Every
centime that dancng-girl can beg,
borrow or earn goes toward the pur-
chase of massive silver jewelry, ank-

in turn is exchanged for gold-pieces

Planting Strawberries.
One of the best methods of planting
is to thrust spade straight into the
ground at the proper place to depth
of five or six inches and then lean it
over to one side. forcing the soil out
of the way and leaving a wedge
shaped hole, one wall Of which Is
straight up and down. The roots of
the plant should be spread out in
fan shape against this wall and the
spade then set in the ground about
six inches farther forward and by
backward movement of the handle
firmly press the dirt against the roots
of the plant. To lend additional firm
ness to the soil, step with one foot
On either side of the plant.
The last hole made by the spade
should have some soil raked into 1t
before leaving. When setting the
plants it is best to have them IN

order that the roots fay be kept

Marconi on the Titanic Disaster.
IF there is one lesson, above al
others. to be drawn from the Htan1c's
loss" says Signor Marconi in the
June Worlds Work. lit is the neces-
sity. or, at least, the desirability, OF
having two wireless operators on
every ship equipped with wireless ap-
paratus-as almost all passenger
ships and many freighters are now
equipped: On board the Carpathia
there was but one operator and 1t was

Another necessity, if wireless teleg'
raphy is to reach it's highest POSSIBLE
tiles of usefulness, is some sort of gov.
ernmental regulation and control OF
amateur experienters. l do not know
how far the United States government
can legally 60 in that direction, but
the system adopted in England and
continental Europe works admirably.
There nobody may erect a wireless
pole or conduct experiments in wire

government.

moving picture man and shows how

of a little moving picture theater in
Tynall S. D.:
Il wish to speak a word for the
much-abused exhibitor. Most of us
are doing the best possible with the
material We have to work with. AS
for the subject, the manufacturer is
the one to praise or blame for the
good, bad, or Indifferent subjects.
