Boon TO Mankind.

Ignatius Tootle, the renowned au-
thority on floral life, who lives near
the quiet village of Yankee Springs,
is at the present time trying to out
burbank Burbank, the wiz, by grow
ing rectangular watermelon. Mr..
Tootle has noticed for years that ulti-
mate consumers have had much trou-
BILE trying to carry watermelons from
the store, inasmuch as they (the wa
termelons) are of awkward shape and
quite slippery, and after watermelon
has fallen and has hit the cement side
walk its usefulness may be said to be
over. Mr.. Tootle's watermelon will
be long and will have square corners,
one of which corners will fit into the
bent elbow when the melon is carried
on the inside of the arm. Mr.. Tootle
expects to have his new melon grow
ing and on the market by 1927, If moth
ing happens.-Boston Globe.

The American Farmer.

All things recalled, wouldn't 1t be
the part Of craftsmanship to do con-
occasionally for the American farmer?
He's one-fourth of your population,
and the nations best hope. The
American merchant borrows at five
per cent. The American stock gam
bier, producing nothing, accomplish
Ing nothing, merest leech living by
the toll Of others, borrows for even
less. The American farmer, with all
that can be said to his good and solv-
emit advantage. must and does pay S1a
per cent.
And all the time the savings and
postal banks are bullying with billions.
II the government would make two
blades of grass grow where but one
has grown beforehand publicly 1t
would pay-the wide-fiung chance lies
open. Let it model action on French
Or German lines, and place the farmer
on borrowing par with the merchant,
the manufacturer and the stock job
Der. Let it evolve system of farm
loans which shall put those savings
and postal bank billions at per cent
within the farmers borrowing reach.

REAL LIFE IN THE COUNTRY
Fact Is Shown by Mans Eagerness to
Escape From Congestion Of
the Crowded City.

Why is 1t that railway magnates,
presidents of banks and heads of great
enterprises who must perforce do
business In cities, almost all try to
have homes on farms in the country,
where they develop soils, plant crops
and breed animals? 1t is because there
is wearisome monotony in piled up
brick and stone. There is confusion
in crowded streets and changing troll
ley cars and hot smoky railways.
These things man has made, and they
are needful, but they are not life, much
as the farm boy may imagine them to
be.
Life is in the open, country. Life Is
in the growing grass, the waving fields
of wheat, the springing corn. Life is
In the trees and birds, life is in the
developing animals of the farm.
Any man who works with the land,
who feeds a field and watches the re-
suit, gains a real fundamental know
ledge OF the underlying foundation on
which rests all our civilization. 1t
makes him sober man, thoughtful
man, a reverent man, and If he expert
ments wisely hopeful optimist Life
is where things are born and live and
grow. On the farm is real life.-Breed-
er's Gazette.

homework and get along upon the
barest necessities. He had driven his
son away from home and then blamed
him for not returning, humble and
penitent. Most of his time was spent
in his garden. 1t was the only thing
he semed to care for.
Having given his wife orders to
write that they had no place for their
grandchild, the old man took 1t for
granted that the matter was settled
and walked out of the house.
1t was on the second of July that
Jonathan BRADSHAW, who was busy in
his garden, heard the hinges of the
gate sQueaking. He looked up and
saw little boy who had just stepped
inside. No little boy had ever entered
there before. Jonathan Crabshaw's
garden was forbidden territory. Even
his wife was afraid to go into it.
The little boy stood for awhile, look
ing at the hard" old man who was
half leaning upon his hoe
WELL" the old man asked, what do
you want here?"
81 want to come in and help you."
the little boy replied.
Get Quit"
Are you my grandpa?"
Your grandpa? What do you
mean?"
I'm Henry. Grandma told me you
was out here all alone"
Jonathan BRADSHAW dropped his hoe
and began rubbing the dirt from his
hands.
How did you get here?" he asked.
II came all by myself on the train"
the little boy said. my papa put me
in the car and grandma was waiting
for me when got here. My mamma
is very sick"
There was big apple tree in one
corner of the garden, near the gate.
Under it was seat which Jonathan
BRADSHAW had made for himself He
went to 1t and sat down.
Come here" he said.
The little boy went to him and
leaned upon his knee.
The old man had hard" look, but
in spite of that the little boy bore a
strong resemblance to him.
$50 your names Henry, is it?"
Eyes. And your names grandpa
isn't it?"
The hard" look seemed to fade out
Of Jonathan Crabshaw's face.
' "Well," he said with something that
was almost a smile, that amt exactly
my name, but you can call me it.

ITCHING, BURNING ERUPTION

Thomasville, Ala.-"I suffered with
eczema on my hands and feet two or
three years. About eleven years ago ]
became troubled with an itching, burn
ing eruption which came on my hands
and feet in little water blisters and in
about a day or two when would let
the water out or wash 1t out, using my
hands, then the places would tester
and itch to beat the band. ! could not
do any work that was rough on my
hands at all. It caused me great suf-
fering and Inconvenience.
Il tried everything that knew Of
or was told and never was really re-
lieved until ! began using Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. ! would wash the
parts in water with the Cuticura Soap
and then when dried them would ap-
ply the Cuticura Ointment on the sur
face in the daytime, and at night /
would get soft piece of cloth and
apply the Cuticura Ointment on my
hands and let it stay that way all
night. A perfect cure was effected.
No one will ever know how glad was
to get my hands and feet cured"

A rough old hand was laid gently
upon the little boys head.
How would you like it if called
you Jonathan instead Of Henry?"
I'D like 1t. That's what papa al.

that makes him glad"
Jonathan Crabshaw's contribution to
the celebration fund made 1t possible
for Paddington to put 1t all over"
Greenville in the matter of Fourth OF
July fireworks. When the old man
and his wife and their little boy got
home after witnessing the splendid
display Mr.. BRADSHAW eaid:
Mother, / never really knew before
what the Fourth of July was for. Amt
it been glorious day all around?"
Then he kissed the little boy and
after that he put an arm around his
wife and kissed her and said:

PARADISE For THE BIRDS
Providence Seems to Have Provided
Temperate Zone for the Feathered
Friends of Man.

Up in the far country where the
timber fails, the calendar is respect
ed. There is no summer before the
official day set for it. The ground is
held fast by frost until June is we'll
started. There are fiurries of snow,
wild, bitter winds, sky that has no
mercy And then, suddenly, the wind
shifts and comes out of the south. 1t
is summer then with leap.
The interest of the temperate zone
in the northland is that it is there
that have gone a great many of the
migrating birds which paid us few
days visit and passed on. For all its
inhospitality to man, that country in
summer is paradise for birds. It's
marshes are safe refugees from two
and four-footed enemies. There is ex-
haustless material for nests And out
of the pools come myriads Of insects,
food that does not fail until the time
for the southwark bird movement ar
rives.
Some man has said that there is
no God north of latitude SO. He did
not inquire as to what the birds
might have thought of that.-Toledo

how much the people of Greenville are
goin' to spend celebratin'? Let 'em
spend a million IL they can raise it.
They'll only have that much less to
spend for things that might do their
town some good"
"But don't you see," said Thomas
Spurgeon, that we can't afford to let
Greenville get ahead Of Paddington in
this matter? Since the old-fashioned
way Of celebrating the Fourth has
been done away with every town that
amounts to anything has general dis
play which is for the benefit of every
body. BY stopping the sale of danger
GUS explosives and all that sort Of
thing we can have a day of comfort
and safety; but we owe something to
the youngsters, SO we propose to have
a fine exhibition of fireworks in the
evening. 1t will be in charge Of men
who know how to handle such things,
and you can readily see that 1t will be
much bigger and more thrilling than
1t would be II everybody celebrated
in his own way. Besides, there will be
no chance for the boys to lose their
fingers or have their eyes put out.
The people of Greenville have been
boasting that they beat our town in
everything. and we want to show them
for once that they can't do it. Don't

It was on the following day that
Jonathan Crabshaw's wife received
letter from their son in the city.

in from the garden, Williams wife's

That's just like them city women"
he grumbled. They're always goin'
to hospitals. II William had married
