II the younger men and women who

reverence for the dead of that great
war which will pass on down the gen

that will insure an observance Of the
beautiful rites on into an indefinite

Youngsters Last Dance at Nine.

Aurora, Ill.-Boys and girls under
eighteen years must 90 home from
public dance halls at o'clock at night

pointed to visit dance halls and note
if questionable steps were being prac-
ticed. The sale OF liquor would be
prohibited if an intoxicated person
was allowed to enter a dance hall. Tho
ordinance is drawn at the behest OF
Ann Forcey, policewoman.

WHOLE SEED MUST BE USED.
Farmers Advised ey Grubb to Plant
Potatoes Whole.

Greeley. -" Whole seed must be
lsed," Eugene Grubb tells Colorado
growers. Never cut a potato for
seed. did not find successful po-
tato grower in Europe who cut seed.
and the most successful crops from
the irrigated West last year were
from whole seed.
whole seed should be planted fif-
teen inches apart in the row. because
larger number of tubers are set per
plant than with cut seed.
For growing seed select a piece Of
ground on which potatoes have not
been grown for five years and that
has been in alfalfa or other grass.
Get potatoes for planting on this
plot that are as free from disease as
possible. and true to the type Of the
variety.
Select potatoes TX to 2h inches In
diameter.
PLANT potatoes in the seed plot

Denver.-Never in the history OF
Denver conventions has the early out
look been SO promising as now marks
the progress of the preparations for
the session of the grand lodge B. P.
o. Elks scheduled for July 1919.
Reservations already have been made
for 1000 visitors. The national gather
ing in July, 1906, brought 10000 per-
sons to Denver. OF this number 49,
900 Elks registered with the local
lodge. This year it is now considered
certainty that the attendance OF

Lesson 10 In Heart Of Youth.

II would be more seemly. perhaps.
II Memorial day could be devoted Who'll
ly to It's designated purpose. but since
youth Is youth and does not willingly
give heed to solemn things. It is not
clear how this single use OF the holi-
day can be brought about. But the
veterans, as they honor the memory
OF their departed comrades, need not
fear that the lesson OF the latter's
deeds and OF their own is lost. That
lesson has its place, and Its power will
be felt whenever need arises.
