notony. The pupils should study the
developing potato plant; the work of
the potato seed. the formation of the
new tubers, how a new tuber increases
in length by growing like a stem ; the
fact that starch is formed in the green
leaves during the day and disappears
during the night and many other things
of great interest and Importance. In
learning these things, the pupils will
not have to learn technical terms nor
principles of botany-they will merely
observe the obvious things and l have
no doubt they will find enough English
to express their ideas, ever though
somewhat crudely.
In addition to the above. the pupils
should learn some Of the different var
ieties of potatoes, some of the things
necessary for their successful culture,
what tools are used to take care of them
and similar facts. The pupils should
be encouraged to report on potato
growing on the various farms in the
district. These reports should include
methods of cultivation, varieties grown,
acreage planted. the enemies of the
potato and their treatment, the profits
in potato growing and many other
points. If the work is taken up with
any degree of enthusiasm. potato grow
ing contests will naturally be started
and this will lead naturally to potato

CONTINUING NATURE STUDY
INTERESTING POTATO talk

The following is a continuation of
Supt. L. r. Waldron's Mature Study
talk before the institute teachers at the
Dickinson high school building last
week:
"Neture study is not designed to dis
cipline the mind of the child nor is it's
purpose to fill the mind with informal
ton. It's prime object is Il put the
child right with country life. The study
N>need not deal with impractical things.
As a matter of fact nature study can
ally itself with matters quite plain and
prosy. In order to make myself clear
in this matter I will outline in q sug-
eestive way work that could be done
with the common potato.
The work outlined might want to ex-
tend over several days and If the work
led to potato growing contests it might
extend over a large part of the school
year. In regard to the questions judy
ment would have 10 be used and in
many cases several questions would be
needed instead of one to bring out the
points desired.

the teacher will wan to collect some
literature. Several bulletins will be
found available which may be secured
for the asking.
If the work here indicated is carried
out with patience and with reasonable
methods, there is no doubt in my mind
but what it would be successful and l
think also that the work would Gain
momentum as it progressed. The last
quarter of the year will be the most sue
cessful one. And speaking OF success,
the teacher who carries out work some
thing like have suggested, will find
herself quite a different parsonage in
the community than formerly. She will
find herself and the school occupying q
new and a stronger place in the dis
trict. all due to the modest potato or to
some other object, equally modest.

much from the seed of corn or seed of
wheat? What are the differences? How
many sprouts does a kernel of corn pro-
duce? How many may a potato have?
Secure a twig OF branch from a tree
or brush and some kernels of corn or
wheat. (The pupils are already pre-
sumed to have n or more potatoes by
them.) In looking at the branch can
you see any likeness to the potato?
Look for the eyes upon the potato. Are
they arranged hit and miss or are they
in order? Are the buds of the branch
in order or are they hit \and miss?
What comes from a bud on a twig?
What comes from an eye of the potatoY
Does the potato bear more eyes on
one end than upon the other? Can you
find the tip end of the branch? Is there
a tip end to the potato?
Wash q potato and look closely on the
surface for many spots the size of a pin
head OF smaller. Sometimes these look
like an eruption from the inside. Look
for similar spots on the surface of the
twig.
Is the potato alive? Does it contain
life? Do living things have to breathe?
The spots w see on the potato are the
breathing pores of the potato. They
are called lenticels. Potatoes with good
sized lenticels are generally mealy.
Cut across the potato with a sharp
The Dickinson press., 1913-04-12

knife, cutting through n or more of
the lenticels and through one or more
eyes. Is the skin of the potato thick
or thin? Is it possible to make the skin
come off in more than one layet? Do
the lenticels extend into the flesh of
the potato?
Look closely at q cross section of the
potato to find a brownish yellow ring
about one fourth inch from the surface.
Is this ring seer plainest when the po-
tato is new, or when it is 7 or 8 months
old? Are the eyes of the potato connected
with the brownish yellow ring? If the
stalks of the potato plant come from the
eyes and if the eyes are connected with
the ring, is it not likely the ring is
quite important?
Cut across the twig or branch you
have. In a cross section can you find.
the skin of the branch? Inside of the
ring, can you distinguish a ring as in
the potato? In the stem of the shrub OF
tree, are the buds connected with the
inside as in the potato?
From the evidence you have at hand,
which does the potato most closely re-
semble, the branch from the tree or the
kernel Of corn? Name the similarities
of the potato to each. What right have
we to call the potato a seed? Would it
be right also to call. it a branch OF
stem? If it could be called a branch

or stem, what is its essential differ
ence from a stem?
Take a little iodine solution and ap-
ply some to a bit of moist corn starch.
Apply some also to moist laundry
starch. Notice the change of color of
the starch to a dark violet or to an al
most black. We may know that any
substance treated with iodine. turning
this color, is starch. Scrape some of
the potato with a knife and test with
iodine. Do you get a strong starch re-
action?
Can we not now begin to define a po-
tato from the standpoint of a potato?
We commonly define potatoes as food
for man, which is correct as far as it
goes. We have studied the potato and
it has told us many interesting things.
Let US condense that knowledge into a
definition. Who can define a potato?
Both for man and for the potato plant,
the potato does n thing alike. This
one thing is to grow potatoes for an
other year. AS far as Mr.. Potato is con-
cerned. that is about all that potato
tubers are good for.
After the above outline is carried out,
the pupils will have gained only a
slight knowledge of the subject. The
work can be carried out with profit dur

How TO Keep the
Auto Veil Clean

Cleaning adds so much, to the orig
inal cost of any article Of apparel
that it IL often well TO pay a little
more in the beginning to get some
thing that will stand soap and water.
A washable chiffon veil, therefore.
is a real economy. OF course, any
sort OF chiffon veil can be satisfac-
torily cleaned in gasoline, but It is
rather unpleasant to have anything
cleaned in this way come in close
contact With the skin OF the face.
When a washable chiffon veil is
soiled fold # neatly and tack the folds
securely with basting thread Then
wash the veil carefully in soapy wat
er and rinse Il In salt water to set
the color. Press the folded veil be-
tween a couple OF heVvy bath towels
to get the water out and do not wiring
It at all.
When as much water has been
pressed out as II possible to get out
cut the hastings and pull them out.
Lay one edge OF the veil straight on
the ironing board and iron II dry
with a moderately hot iron. Then
iron each OF the other sides dry and
then iron the middle of the veil until
Il too is dry. BY ironing the edges
first the veil can be ironed without
stretching or pulling out of shape.
Lay the veil fiat on a bed for an
hour or two after It IS ironed II #
is ironed in this way II will keep its
shape and will not wrinkle easily.

FINERY FOR HIS
BROKEN HOME
breaches Sermon On "Great
American Vice" In His Answer
To Wife's Divorce Suit.

KANSAS CITY. June IA sermon
on the love of money and flnery was
Andrew Mathers' answer to a suit
brought by his wife in the Circuit
Court here. Mathers is a wealthy con-
tractor. He recites that he began
life as stonemason, working for
day wages, but as success came TO
him he bettered his position in life
until he was able to provide his wife
with diamonds, fine clothes, motor
cars and an expensive home.
Love of Finery Came.
But the vice of American life. the
love of spending money and of fine
things, crept in faster than my in

swer His wife, he alleges, became
spoiled, willful, proud and overload

blamed me for everything that hap
pened. II IT rained when she was
going out she acted as If I had a

belonged to the race of meek and

willed, believing in divorce as cure
for all family ills, believing in it the
more because l opposed this system.
Lost Sight Of Happiness.
The attainment of happiness, Math-
ers says. has been lost sight of COM
pletely by his wife. Blinded by sell
fish ambition, he says, and guided by
self-will and pride. she is throwing
away all domestic peace without car
ing for the future or the wellbeing
Of her children.
Mathers denies the allegations Of
his wife that he drank and abused
her. He admits that he objected
when she locked him out of the house
He asks that her petition for divorce
be denied and that she be admonlshed
TO return to her home and duty.
