INCREASING POTATO CROP.
Growers Pay Too Little Attention to
the Seed They Use.

Washington.-The American potato
grower is charged with paying too lit.
tie attention to the selection of seed
potatoes by the department Of agricul-
ture in a statement declaring that by
the use of high grade seed the returns
from the crop would be increased by
many millions Of dollars.
The increase that might be expected
from the use Of high grade seed is CON
servatively estimated at not less than
10 per cent. Such an increase, based
on the average production or the aver
age production of the last five years,
says the statement, would amount to
over 34,000,000 bushels. having an ap-
proximate value of 21,000,0O0.

TRUE SPIRIT OF THE SEASON
Thanksgiving Should Find It's Best
Expression In the Doing Of Some
Kindly Act.

To limit reasons for thankfulness to
mere material abundance. to national
and individual prosperity, as 30 often
implied, is to overlook the greater
causes of gratitude. Every now and
then pathetic instances bring out the
heartfelt expression that III one has
health he has everything" Position
and possessions count for little COM
pared to the simple retention of
health. So, II a man or woman today,
unblessed by possession OF the wealth
or prosperity they think they ought
to have, will ponder upon the bless
ing OF health or upon the preserva-
ton of the lives and health OF those
near and dear to them throughout the
year they must find deeper cause for
thanksgiving than any mere incre-
ment In material things. This is the
true reverence the genuine spirit OF
thanksgiving.
But in expressing this spirit in
Thanksgiving services, in gladness and
feasting, 1t must not be forgotten that
the true thanksgiving must come from
the heart, and will find its fullest ex-
preston in kindly act, In considera-
tion of those less fortunate and in as
sisting to make others equally thank
full The thankfulness that is limited
to self is ungracious and unworthy.
Yet even in temporal affairs the ma
ton as whole has cause for. graft
tude. No country has been more
blessed with abundance Of crops. In
dustrial and commercial conditions
are normal. We have been spared
from any great disasters. AS a ma
ton we are at peace with the world.
The census shows splendid
growth. We face the future not only
with confidence but enthusiasm.

MAKES GEMS MORE BRILLIANT
Five Carat Diamond in Vacuum Has
Been Shown to Give as Much
Light as a Candle.

The jewellers of ancient Egypt knew
more than modern craftsmen about
treating gems so that they would
shine and sparkle, according to the
Independent. Such gems as the emer-
aid, garnet and iacinth were livelier
and more luminous in the days Of the
Ptolemies than they can be made to-
day. It is known that the diamond,
ruby, emerald and kunzite become
phosphorescent or fluorescent under
certain circumstances.
Gems exhibit the liveliest phospho-
rescence in vacuum tubes. Even in
rarehed air some diamonds give out
blue light which is not present in

"Oh, don't be afraid" he assured
her. Il meant exactly what 1 said to
Higgins"
She sighed with real relief.
Il don't mind telling you. Miss Rich
ards, that when came here yesterday
my intention was to sell this business
and get it of my hands at any price
or sacrifice"
The mere statement Of this evidently
past and gone intention was a shock
to her. He noted, and not without
emotion-mind that: Broadway unmis-
takably was touched-that her face
blanched at the thought of that which
he had definitely decided not to do.
The young man was beginning to
think; he was forming some faint
realization of the fact that his own
troubles were but somewhat unimpor-
tant bubbles in a sea made up of
everybody's troubles. The thought
was forming in his mind that, while
he had been severely worried about
ways and means for getting luxuries,
these people, here in Jonesville, who
had lived and probably would die with
out ever having heard the names Of
many of the things his sybaritic soul
had learned to crave, had felt them
selves confronted by the possibility of
loss of the necessities.
Indefinitely, but for the first time in
his life at all. he saw how grim the
struggle for bare existence is with
the majority; how, although they
strain and strive to their limit of abiI-
fly, they never feel quite safe in their
possession Of the means for getting it.
He acknowledged to himself a feeling
of embarrassment as he considered the
undeniable selfishness of his previous
existence.
But he frightened visibly, as he
went on. He had learned his lesson
and had learned it thoroughly.
Carnegie couldn't buy the plant this
morning." he said simply, eff he Of

promised to take his advice, and he's
convinced me that the right thing to
do is to stick right here and put I'D a
fight for these people, the same as my
uncle did"
Her reserve quite vanished; as is
the way of women, she took credit for
an intuition which her previous man
ner had not indicated. Where she had
been suspicious Of reason for sus-
picion, she became enthusiastic over
reason for enthusiasm.
Il knew you would" she cried. 81
knew-I knew you would"
She had not known he would: she
had feared, had half believed that he
would not; but that now made not the
slightest difference with her firm be-
lief that she had known he would. Nor
had the fact that Broadway, a short
minute before, had suspected, with
good reason, that she seriously doubt
ed him. any influence whatever on his
deep pleasure when he discovered that
she did not-did not because she could
not, not because she would not.
Men do not think clear to the bottom
of these things. They take what wom- !

male when he finds that the one fe.
male for whom he has begun, con
sciously or without his knowledge, to
live his life and do his deeds, does not
utterly condemn him when he has
done his level best and that best has
been worthy. Men are the worlds nat
uraI "come-ons," women the worlds
natural vendors Of psychological, sen
timental and often very raw gold
bricks.
So when Josie soulfu1ly declared
that she had known he would, Broad
way did not let 1t pass with an unap-
preciative, "of course you did," but
looked at her with gratitude alight in
his pleased face and humbly queried,
Did you?"
For a moment the fact that she de-
clared that she had known he would be
decent and not villainously selfish SO
completely overwhelmed him (and
please do not forget that she, within a
minute, had admitted that she thought
him capable of basest selfishness) that
he could not find words with which to
proceed conversationally. All men are
that way.
But presently he recovered self-pos-
session and continued:
Now, / don't know anything about
business, and l don't know anything
about money. I never did a days work
in my life for the simple reason that
never had to-"
He looked at her with a shamed
smile, the first evidence that he had
ever shown of anything but pride in
his ability to live idly with enormous
and successful effort.
'The only trial of skill into which
