nursery one morning when
Mrs. Rawson, who was in full
charge Of him, brought in little girl
of about the same years, saying to him:
Here's little sister for you, Ralph.
Her name is Gladys. Now, don't let

Don't ask questions or I'll send her
away
So Ralph and Gladys proceeded to
enjoy each others company in the
amusements of childhood. AS they
grew older they wondered why they
had been separated till their first meet
ing and had been kept together ever
since. Since no one seemed disposed
to inform them they spent much time
building up hypothesis. Gladys prefer

sence from her brother. she having
been stolen by fairy when she was
a baby. But she had very little remem-

other. No one interfered with their

began to talk about Gladys being his
wife, to which she responded that she
didn't believe brothers and sisters ever
married. And SO as they passed
{ through different stages Of develop
ment there came different kinds Of
feeling till at last they were nearly
grown.
One day when they were fifteen
years old they discovered Mrs. Raw

asked what she was going to do she
told them that Gladys was to be taken

Whore WatermeIons Do Best.

Notwithstanding their name, water
melons thrive best in we'll drained
and comparatively dry soil. The best
soil is sandy loan, and it cannot be
worked up too well. The most sue
cessful growers give the vines plenty
of room. planting hills from eight to
twelve feet apart. Enough seeds are
planted to insure good stand and
lightly covered with about an inch of
light soil. Before the vines begin to
run the hills are thinned out to two
or three Of the most thrifty plants.
The best way Of working is to culti-
vate closely as soon as the plants are
well up. then work them frequently
until the vines are running in the mid
dies. Cultivation should not disturb root

HOME TRADE is A DUTY
No CITIZEN SHOULD SHlRK.
The Place Where q Man Lives . the
Place Where He Should Buy Me-
cessitics Of Life.

a case in point illustrating the bene-
fits Of home trade to the town itself
has been told 1t is a subject that
permits of elaboration. 1t was told
how a town with the home trade spirit
forged away ahead of a lleighboring
town which obtained its merchandise
from the mail order houses, The ad-
vantage of trading at the home shops
was made plain. and now IL word on
the subject of home trade as duty.
AS a matter Of fact it is duty that
every citizen with the welfare of his
particular community at heart owes to
that community. Probably he himself
is obliged to earn his living in that
town. II so no arguments should be
needed to convince him that home
trade Is SO much his duty that il he is
a patron of the mail order houses In
stead he does not deserve livelihood
from the patronage Of his neighbors.
Take the man who earns his bread
and butter in another town or city.
In spite Of that fact It is his duty, too.
to patronize the home stores. They are
doing business where he has establish
ed his home, where he casts his vote
ut election time and where his chill
dren are going to school, He most GER
tainly owes that town something be-
sides his taxes.
OF course fair treatment by the
storekeeper should be expected, and
usually he is shrewd enough to accord
1t. On the other hand. the thousands
who have to their sorrow bought "a pig
in the bag" from mail order house
know that distance lends enchant-
ment"-to the view the mail order.
house takes Of the matter. A home
merchant cannot very we'll go behind
his announcements In the local papers.
while the mail order houses can and do
make all kinds Of offers in their city
papers. knowing full well the best sat
isfactton a defrauded customer In a
remote town can get Is to write a let
ter Of protest which goes into the
wastebasket.
This DEPRESSION from the subject Of
home trade as duty is merely to call
attention to the fact that there are
more spurious bargains advertised by
the mail order houses than genuine
ones.
Home trade as duty ought to be a
town slogan. 1t should be prncticed
and preached by every man and wo-
man identified with the best interests
Of the town they call their home.
