Time to plant sweet corn. Plant
a row or two eve two weeks until
July and have roasting ear all sum
mer.
Sweet potatoes are a warm wealth
er crop and the plants will not do
much growing until the ground Is
thoroughly warmed up.
Cabbage and celery are the best
crops for the lowest ground In the
garden. Corn. beans and peas will
do better on high ground.

To get a good stand OF celer,
plants scatter the seeds on the sur

with Texas and Kansas. the only wes-

From the foregoing figures II VIII
be seer that had the Missouri far
mer planted 2 million acres less OF
corn than he did in 1912 he could
still have harvested more corn than
did the Kansas farmer. Had this
same Missouri farmer planted 2 mil

srown as much corn as did all Texas.
It's the corn In the crib that counts!
It's cultivation that costs'
The cost of growing an acre OF corn
Including rent OF land Is placed az
si2.27 for the United states. So the
Missouri farmer. by being able to save
the cost OF c%ultivating 2 or 3 million
acres and still grow as much corn as
Kansas or Texas, has an advantage
that is worth considering.

advantage: nature II ION his side

And the best promise that that
fight will be successful lay in the
message carried from the Fedora
ton to the foreign-born workers
by William Borek, Federation
organizer.
Borek's message was one of
brotherhood, telling the more
highly paid skilled workers that
they must unite with the slave
driven foreign born workers inn
ported by the trust.

fool. But they will find out.
When it come time to strike, the

poration so bad they won't want
another strike for twenty years"
Borek was the most striking
figure at the meeting, although

John Williams, president of the
Amalgamated Association of
Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, and
John Fitzpatrick, president of
the Chicago Federation of Labor,
also spoke.
Borek is a Pole. He is built
strongly from the ground up. He
looks like a man who would enjoy
every minute of a fight with the
Steel Trust. He is genial, rough,
brusque, smiling, a man who
speaks five languages we'll, who
can talk to the foreign born in
their own tongues, although he
does not speak good the Ameri-
can language"
And his messange rang with
the fighters spirit, softened by
mans dream of universal broth
erhood. There were 400 men
from the mills at the meeting,
most of them union men, mem

citation which has agreements
with the Republic and Interstate
mills of East Chicago, higher

they cheered Borek time and
again.
"The Hunkies are people just

The Methods by Which Their Famous
Fabrics Are Produced.
The lace of Venice has been cele-
brated for many centuries. 1t was
made originally by nuns within the
walls of converts for ecclesiastical
garments. Then. with the fall Of the
Venetian republic, the converts were
closed and the lace industry ceased to
exist for an entire century. In 1870 the
Princess Margherita, afterward queen
Of Italy, took measures to revive it,
especially as a means Of providing en-
ployment for Venetian women. At
present there are several schools sub
sidized by the government in which the
art is taught
The pupils are women of all ages
Each sits on low stool and holds a
plump square cushion in her lap On
this cushion is pinned a strip of paper
marked with the pattern to be follow
ed, and into this pattern the nimble
fingered worker sticks glass headed
pins, about which she twists her
threads.
From twenty to fifty shuttles depend
from all sides of the cushion, and these
are thrown across and back with the
rapidity of typist handling the keys
Of her machine
The process is SO simple that it looks
like play, but the lace produced repre-
sents thousands of dollars The simple
laces grow rapidly under the dexterous
fingers of the women. but the exquisite
rose point and other similar sorts are
evolved much more slowly.-Harper's

This ship,s cat Was savsd

About twenty years ago, when was
resident in north China, the British
squadron. then in far eastern waters,
was steaming out of the port of Che
fu when little black cat fell over
board from 81. M. S. Wanderer. At
once the ship stopped, signaled to her
consorts "Cat overboardI'' and the en-
tire squadron came to standstill A
boat put off from the Wanderer and
rescued puss, who was swimming for
dear life after the ship. The officer
who told me the story said the sailors
would have been furious If the little
cat had not been saved, for not only
was she a great pet, but they firmly
believed that disaster would follow If
black cat was allowed to drown

PICTURE SIGNATURES.
Difficult to Find Sometimes and Not
Always Reliable.

Always Reliable.
Many Of the works of the old mas
tiers are not signed. Experts rarely
rely on signatures alone in determin-
Ing the authenticity of an old work,
but trust rather to their knowledge of
the painters technic
False signatures can be easily de-
tected Spirits of wine or turpentine
will usually remove a name of later
date than the painting. In the course
Of time signatures often become very
difficult to find. Painted originally in
a shade slightly lighter. than the
ground, perhaps, they sink in. darken
and merge into the ground color or
they are almost rubbed away by sue
cessive cleanings. Recognizable one
day in specially favorable light, they
may not be visible again for weeks.
Experts speak Of ''wilI-o'- the-wisp''
signatures, and many collectors have
encountered accidental strokes and
cracks that tantalizingly suggest sig
nature, though it can never be made
definite. On the other hand, there
have been remarkable cases of such
marks after careful study, resolving
themselves into famous name
Sometimes the painters name is
most conspicuous-as. for instance, in

With reference to unsigned paintings
there is told in Germany an amusing
story. Aehenbach, the German artist,
enjoyed vogue about ten years ago.
A certain collector had bought from
an art dealer a marine represented as
a genuine Achenbach Afterward it
was pronounced to be a copy The
buyer brought an action against the
dealer. who turned the tables by de-
claring that his picture was genuine
and the other was copy.
Achenbach himself was summoned
by the court to tell which was which

The amateur craftsman is sometimes
in doubt how he can hatten a board
that has warped. One way is to lay a
thick mass Of wet sawdust or a thickly
folded wet cloth on the concave side
and expose the convex side to gentle
heat or very dry air. The moisture en-.
tiers the fibers Of the wood of the con.
cave side Of the board and causes them
to swell. Heat, on the other hand, OF
very dry air, removes the moisture
from the convex side and causes the
fibers to shrink. In consequence the
board gradually fattens.-Youth's Com
panion.

Then he began to think of the matter

When Kennard reached Bucharest
he learned that a young woman an

gone to Sofia, in Bulgaria, but as to
Miss Burch as a certainty he had lost
the trail. Since he could not find her
in Bucharest there seemed nothing for
him to do but to go to Sofia.

series of letters to farmers wives, has
become a correspondence school. with
courses in How to make a farmers
life and a farmers wife happy"
Secretary Houston is so encouraged
by the interest Of the farm women
that he is thinking of establishing a
rural sanitation section and perhaps a
home economic branch.
The principal plea Of the women
has been for rural sanitation and
piped water in the farmhouses.
Others ask for instruction in the
domestic arts. Loans to raise mort
cages are among other requests, while
cures for deafness, requests for mo
tor trucks and better mechanical
equipment are found here and there
