The latest returns Of the Blu
reau Of the census show that
three per cent less of the popul;a-
tioM of the United States were
slliterate III 1910 as compared
with 1900. OF the entire num-
bar Of age or over, only-77.6 per
cent are how unable TO read and
write. The degree of illlteracy
il highest among the negroes
and the recent migrants.
Probably the most encourage
lng result Of the INJURY Of the
census Burea is to to be found in
the decline of illerteracy among
children, between the ages Of ten
and fourteen years. This situa-
tion is clearly Indicative Of the
greater extension and use Of edu-
cational opportunities during re-
cent years. Unfortunately, the
proportion Of native wLite chill
dren il she South Atlantic States
ssnable to read and write is con-
siderably greater thanin the Mid
dls Atlantic and North Central
States, the degree Of illiteracY m
the latter sections being less than
4 per cent, while il the South it
stands slightly above 8 per cent.
About one out Of evisgy fiveiisgro
children in the soigtt between
the ages Of ten AMI fourteen years
is also iIliterate.

SALVATION ARMY'S
SELF-DENIAL WEEK
Funds Raised To Be Used In Doing
Good Work At Home And
Abroad.

The Salvation Army has arranged a
week of self-denial to take place, COM
mencing on Sunday, March 31st to
April 9TH. This effort is an annual
one, and has long ere this become
familiar to all classes and creeds.
During the week there will be special
exercises of the self-denial spirit.
Funds raised by this method help to
develop the work at home and abroad.
May we call attention to the fact that
In our own town we cannot estimate
the influence of the Salvation Army as
a power for good, particularly among
the deserving poor. In addition to
open-air work it's officers spend hours
daily in visiting the sick and in every
sense demonstrating the spirit of
Jesus Christ, who went about doing
good. This missionary spirit and zeal
demonstrated by the Army after years
shows no abatement. Plans are now
under way for the extension of the
Salvation Army operations in new
fields. 1t has just entered Cuba and
other countries, which now number
fifty-six.
There are workers among all ranks,
helping all classes, especially the
needy, irrespective of creed. Dona-
tons in aid Of this work may be sent
to the Captain in charge.

HOW TO GROW MUSHROOMS.
The Method Is Simple, and Financial
Returns Are Good.

The Method ls Simple. and Financial
Returns Are Good.
Mushrooms can be grown outdoors in
summer time, but the ordinary method
is to raise them in pits or cellars. Full
directions can be had where bricks of
spawn are purchased. The beds are
made on benches along the wall or on
the floor and consist of thick layer
of horse manure Overlaid by three or
four inches Of dirt in which the spawn
is planted. Break bricks of spawn up
in small pieces and push these dry into
the earth at distances of foot or so
apart. If insects appear one Of the
commercial insecticides provided for
the purpose is used.
1t is not practicable to make the
spawn, as it would cost more for a
small quantity than the price Of the
prepared bricks. Only large growers
make their own spawn. Twelve or fif-
teen inches is deep enough for back of
bed at any time. 1t should slope down
to two or three inches at the front.
The mushrooms sell ut from % cents
to 81 and sometimes more pound. &C
