,as she had wept bitterly over the
news of his disappearance. Mothers
weep as they pray for blessings upon
the distant one, and weep when they
come bringing sheaves Of blessings
with them.
We know of that sort Of thing IN
the history of the crop that has just
been harvested. Such anxiety there
has never been over It! So much de-
pended upon what should come back
to us from the seed grain we threw
Into the soil and helplessly left there,
last spring. Whether prosperity or
tribulation should befall our coun-
try hung upon the crop. Wars abroad
and restricted funds at home were
hard to put up with even temporarily,
and all over America thoughtful
men anxiously awaited what every
week brought forth regarding the state
n the growing grain. Hundreds Of
farmers had struggled along through
Encouragement SO far, and their sue
cess or failure seemed to depend just
upon this one years crop.
And then news gradually filtered
through the usual channels Of infor-
nation that plenty was to crown the
plains. A first-rate crop was harvest
ed. Anxiety was turned into joy. A
years success-with the grain means SO
much.
The heaviness which brooded over
us has withered away before the Joy
that came in the morning after the
threshers had done their work, and
the blessing of the months past could
actually be weighed and measured. II

The Te Deum of a Nation

The spirit that the national thanks.
giving stands for will help realize a
very pretty Jewish legend. When the
Creator had finished his work he
asked the angels what they thought
of It. 1t was vast and perfect, thew
said, but one thing was wanting-a
clear harmonious voice that should
fill all quarters necessarily with
sweet songs offering thanksgiving to
its Maker for his goodness. A strain
in that voice is the Te Deum Of q
nation.

MERELY COMMENT
BY the way, has anybody any idea
who is running for U. S. senator in
Illinois?
How many people outside the poll
ticians know or care who is running.
And while we are asking questions,
why is Special Prosecutor Northup
still special prosecuting?
Is he on the job merely for the sake
OF politics, and so each of the old par
ties can have a states attorney and
grand jury?
What is Northup being paid for
anyhow?
He has been on the job about a
year now and hasn't turned up much.
Somebody had better can him, even
if he is good fellow and good pro-
secutor when he has anything to
prosecute.
Do YOU want penny phones, with
a phone in every home?
If you do, why take hand and help
prevent the phone trust from COB
bling the automatic.
We can't imagine why any alder
man should vote for the phone trusts
program unless he does it for cash in
hand.
Certainly he won't help the people
by doing it.
And he won't help himself in the
long run.

ARRANGEMENT OF THE HIVES
When Placed Too Gloss Together
Foul Brood viii Breed Through
Agency Of Young Bees.

It is strange what a difference OF
opinion there Is concerning ~ simple
a matter as the arrangement Of hives.
Some ~beekeepers place them not more
than six inches apart. Our own ex-
perience is that five feet is not too
far. We have repeatedly noticed that
when hives are placed SO close togeth-
or large numbers OF bees r killed
when the returning warm enters, In
considerable numbers, the neighbor-
ing hives, says q writer In Wisconsin
Agriculturist. And then, toe, there
are losses of queens when fertilization
takes place. And last and most i'm
portant of all, If there is foul brood in
the apiary It will spread through the
agency Of the young bees, particularly
on windy days when these youngsters,
which are always accepted. are blown
away from their own to other en-
frances. II you must place hives so
close together, face the first south and
the next to the north. Facing to the
north will, not be injurious to the bees
as SO many imagine. In the above we
have overlooked one thing. viz, that
when hives are placed so close to-
gether, young queens, returning from
their wedding flights, get into the
wrong entrances and are killed. e

OD0RLESS CABBAGE IS HERE
New Vegetable Introduced From
Shantung Province Of China Grown
FL On Experimental Plots.

A new Chinese odorless cabbage, in
troduced into this country from the
Shantung province of China, has been
grown on experimental plots near
Washington. David Fairchild. who IL
in charge Of the governments work in
plan Introduction, and DR.. D. N. Shoe
maker. a horticultural expert in the
bureau of plant industry, have been
doing the work. The odorless cabbage
is rated as a great delicacy by those
who have tasted it. It was discovered
in China by the plant explorers OF the
department OF agriculture. Besides
lacking the cabbage smell. 1t has the
additional advantage of being a very
rapid grower.
The Chinese cabbage is different In
shape from the domestic varieties.
being long and narrow. It also re-
quires a different method Of cultiva-
ton. The needs of the common cab.
bage are planted in the early spring In
a hot bed or cold frame, and the young
plants are set out after the danger OF
frost is past. The seeds Of the new
Chinese cabbage, however, are planted
during the first week of August In b
open ground, and they head up In the
early winter. "
The vegetable is adaptable to prac-
tically all sections Of the country
where the domestic cabbage will grow,
and where the soil is rich enough
SO that the growth Of the plant may be
forced. For men who are engaged IN
Intensive farming. this cabbage is like
" to become popular. A grower can
raise a crop Of spinach and possibly
a crop of snap beans before he plants
the cabbage seeds In August. y,

The first appearance Of the United

canal idea was In 1885, when Henry

senate which resulted in Charles Bid.
die being sent by President Jackson to
visit the various canal routes proposed
and report on their relative feasible
tiles. Biddle reported In the following
year that he had been SO struck BY
the. feasibility of the Panama route
that he had not visited the other pro-
posed routes, the Nicaraguan, Darien
and Tehuantepec projects. E'
Ferdinand de Lesseps, the builder Of
the Suez canal, formed the Interocean-
ic Canal company in Paris in 1877 and
actual work on the canal was started
in the next year. On January 20, 1880,

cup OF piping hot Postum for my morn

what 1t was. I noticed the richness
Of it and remarked that the coffee
tasted fine but my sister did not tell
me I was drinking Postum for fear I
might not take any more.

Ing me Postum instead Of coffee until
I grew stronger, more tireless, got q
better color in my sallow cheeks and
q clearness to my eyes, then she told
me Of the health-giving, nerve

me in place of my morning coffee.
From that time I became a disciple
