The first Christmas under the par eel post system will. put a strain on that service that will test its capaci- ties to the utmost. It is an easy guess that if the millions of extra packages are withheld, from mailing till the last few days before the great gift-gtving holiday, large proportion of them will not. and cannot show up at their destinations until Christmas is pass ed The one way to head off that undesirable happening is to shop early and mail early-'ear9y'' meaning at least a week in advance.

 President. Wilson's avowed intention of emitting the customary New Years reception is accompanied by expIana- tions which will probably prove ac- ceptab1e, except to those who dote more on social functions than on a c1ear-headed transaction of the na- tons business President Wilson takes to himself neither praise nor blame for the tediously long session of congress, but acknowledges 1t has been wearing, and that in order to prepare for more wear of the same sort, he must rest.
 Doubtless it would be a pleasure to thousands of people to shake his hand and wish him well during the new year, but he has properly put business frst-without providing va cations for overworked congressman and senators.

FERTILITY VERSUS
SINGLE CROPPING
Potato Growers May Well Bene-
fit by Experience Of Wheat
RaiSerS of Wisconsin,.

By C. L. FITCH. Colorado Agricultural
College.)
When Illinois and Wisconsin, Min
nesota and Dakota and other western
states were put under the plow, the
chief crop was wheat. After fifteen
or twenty years of wheat growing in
southern Wisconsin the crops dimin-
ished seriously, and about war time
the yields ran so low because of dis
ease that wheat growing was aban-
doned as failure. ..-
After almost generation Of dairy
ing and the exclusive reliance upon
corn, oats, barley and clover, wheat
was tried again, and the yields are
now larger than in the pioneer days.
This offers a parallel to the growing
Of potatoes in southern Maine In the
earlier days, their virtually going out
and now their larger production
again.
After the experience of 1911 and
1912 the potato growers of many re-
gions In the Rocky mountain states
will do we'll to consider il they have
not already reached for the time be-
ing at least the passing Of their crop.
Persistence is good thing, but not
always better than wisdom.

The Pope Remembered.

In that distant time when he was
only a humble priest at Tombolo, Plus
&, then Giuseppe Sarto, dispensed in
charity all the meager emoluments Of
his office. 1t once happened that
when his purse was empty he bor-
rowed from his vicar some sums to
meet a pressing need. Then Giuseppe
Sarto, called suddenly to another
charge, forgot to pay to his vicar
three lires that he owed to him.
Time passed, Giuseppe Sarto was
named pope. He had forgotten his
debt. Recently an old priest came to
kneel at the feet of the holy father.
1t was the old vicar of Tombolo. The
pope recognized his voice, and at the
same moment he remembered the
three lires so obligingly lent him.
The pope then caused to be given to
the old man from his sprivate purse
500 lires. and named him for an i'm
portant curacy. Only sovereign pom
tiffs can pay such interest!-Le Cri
de Paris.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING

Paper bags are useful and should
never be wasted. Put a bag on the
hand which holds the blacking brush,
whether for shoes or the stove. and
prevent soiling the hand. Use bags
to put over the cleaned lamp chin
neys; thon when the lamp Is wanted
the chimney will be bright and shin
ing.
Slip a bag over a bowl or pitcher OF
milk when setting away, or when used
In sick room. A paper bag slipped
over a small bowl when beating
cream, with a place cut at the bot
tom for the handle of the beat
er to come through, will save spatter-
ing yourself and the table.
Put a box of good soil In your cel-
lar so that in the spring you will have
1t ready to plant your seeds.
Never travel without a fax seed in
your handbag. Then II you or your
neighbor gets a cinder In the eye,
moisten one and drop it in. The gel
atinous covering of the seed will
quickly gather up the foreign body
unless it is imbedded in the eyeball.
One of the first things to try with
a strangling child Is to take him by
the legs and shake him. When he
opens his mouth to cry, the foreign
body will fall out. A smart blow on
the back will often help to dislodge
anything in the throat.
If the substance cannot be reached
with the finger and drawn up, never
try to force it down, for the vocal or
gans may thus be injured.
When steaming velvet, put fun
mel into the spout Of the tea kettle.
This will spread the steam over a
larger surface and the work is more
quickly done.
Children may be taught by means
Of their dolls the polite way of intro
duction. How to send and accept in
vitations to teas and dinners, the
proper greetings and adieux and many
of the social customs Of the day. 1t
will be game for them, but the
knowledge will be invaluable all
through life. One may easily tell the
training a child has had by the tone
of voice used in play.

HAVE ENOUGH OF DIVORCE
Couple With Strange Experience Vow
That They Never viii Seek
Another.

Divorced from each other three
times, only to drift back again into
each others company, finally remarry-
ing for the fourth time, is the story
of the Indiana man. and woman who
obtained a license to rewed. The
man is Robert Slate, thirty-nine years
old, of Vevay, Ind. and the woman
Is Mrs. Madge Slate, twenty-nine
years old, at present of this city.
Have you been married before?"
was the question put to them by the
license clerk this afternoon. Both ad-
mitted that they had been married
to each other three times before.
Slate also admitted that he had been
married to two other women and d.
vorced. They said they had signed
an agreement never to seek another
divorce.
Il guess there was little too much
haste on both sides, but this time we
expect the wedding knot to stick"

WHEN COMPANY COMES.

There is an old saying handed down
from some remote ancestor which tells
us that the ornaments of house are
the friends who frequent it." There
are few housekeepers who do not en-
JOY very keenly the entertainment Of
friends, and there are fewer with the
means to entertain as they like, yet
true hospitality does not consist in
the things with which you furnish
your table, better a dinner of herbs
where there is nominees. than an
eight course dinner with the feeling
that it is to be paid for later by hard
skimping.
In this day and age we are looking
for and expecting originality from our
educated women; anybody may copy
the rich neighbor provided ones cred
1t is good, but the woman who serves
her friends with food and entertain
ment within her means is bound to
be respected by all who know her. A
simple meal, dainty and well served.
is so much more acceptable than the
elaborate one which shows 1t Is too
great a strain.
1t is a positive joy to the dinner
goer to be entertained at an old-fash-
ioned dinner table, where each has
share in the serving. Trying to out.
do our neighbor is too common per.
formance. The popular hostess Is she
who starts something original. The
pity is that there are so many who
could entertain shimply, and should
return hospitality, who hesitate for
fear of the expense. Let the enter
tainment be within the means, make
it simple and then go calmly along,
envying nobody, setting wholesome
example which will be followed with
gratitude by the rest Of the sensible
members of society, who are fortunate
enough to have such friend.
Great people have always been in
favor of simple food, and it is usually

FOOLISH TO NEGLECT COLD
Child So Afflicted Should Have I'm.
mediate Care and Proper Medi-
cal Attention.

Those contagious colds. and most
colds are contagious, should be cared
for from the start, says a writer in
Wallace's Farmer. Keep the child on
a light diet for a day or SO; IL he is
weak, keep him in bed, and have him
use antiseptic gauze for a handker-
chief. Burn these handkerchiefs and
avoid the danger OF spreading the dis
ease farther.
Do not let a child with bad cold
sleep with a well child get a bottle
of eucalyptus and put on the pillow
or nightgown to be inhaled through
the night. This is also a good pre-
ventive If used in time. II hand
kerchief strongly scented with eu-
calyptus is held to the mouth and
nose in a crowd where grip germs are
likely to be found, the danger of con-
tagion is greatly lessened. The odor
Is rather pleasing, and some parents
have their children use 1t continually
during the season of colds.
Have the victim of a bad cold use
separate towel; the use OF the antisep-
tic gauze as a towel is an excellent
plan; and teach him to be careful.
The old joke: What is the result of
cough? A coffin" has too, much
truth in 1t to be funny only a cold"
many people say, but the cold is a
Serious matter If neglected. Two
health hints children should be taught
early: To use disinfectant on every
wound, no matter how slight; and to
get rid OF cold as quickly as pos
sible.

them having scaley leg and keep the
skin smooth and we'll colored. This
is a good treatment for the legs of
show birds.
Summer Is the time to plan for a
variety of food for the hens next win
ter. A variety of food you know caus-
es the hens to fill the egg case when
eggs are high. Grow all the different
kinds of food for them that you can.
1t Is a good plan to raise sunflowers
in the poultry yards. They can te
started elsewhere and then transplant
ed into the yard or can be planted in
the yards If the hens can be kept out
until they get started Sunf1owers
make a fine shade for the hens and
little chicks during the hot weather;
they help to keep the ground dry and
pure and then in the fall there is a
good supply Of sunflower seeds to help
add variety to the ration of the laying
hens.
Poultry manure is so strong that it
will injure tender plants if allowed to
lie against them. Remember this when
putting the poultry droppings in the
garden. Put them close around the
plants but not against them and mix
with the earth.
Do not think that your flock of hens
is too small to bother with saving the
droppings. The product from 25 hens
for six months is about 975 pounds.

worth saving to enrich the garden.
