MAGGIE'S EFFORT NOT GREAT

Remuneration for Helping
Her Mother.

Now that the washing hung on the
line, Mrs Moran was leaning over the

pathetic Mrs. Regan the problem of

Mrs. Regan considered that Maggie
Moran was born lazy, but Maggie's
mother held that Maggie's case was
not so simple

importance of Manners

Manners are of more Importance
than laws. Upon them, in a great
measure, the laws depend. The law
touches us but here and there, and
now and then. Manners are what vex
or soothe, corrupt or purify, exalt or
debase, barbarize or refine US, by a
constant, steady uniform insensible
operation, like that of the air we
breathe in. They give their whole
form and color to our lives. Accord
ing to their quality, they aid morals;
they supply them or they totally de-
stroy them.-Edmund Burke.

HAD NO USE FOR EDUCATION
Old Gentleman Deeply Resented the
Deception of Which He Had
Been a Victim.

There was q man about forty years
old seated on the fence in front Of
the house and swinging his legs as
he smoked. and as I halted and sa-
luted him and inquired about the road
ahead, he asked:
Stranger, be you what is called an

looked.

"Hev I? Wall, now, you climb up
yere and take a look over that field.
It's bekase of eddecashun that I've
broken my back and hain't got no mo-

I climbed up beside him and saw
that the field had been dug up in a
hundred different places, as if some
one had been digging graves.
That's what I've bin at fur the last

the fence with his heels to prove his
feelings. Eyes, sab, I've put in ten

HUGE SUGAR Industry.

When it is stated that more than
one hundred million dollars is invest
ed in the beet sugar industry in the
United States, it may be understood
that the effect of the war on this in
dustry in Germany is OF considerable
Importance. The first beet sugar fac
tory in America was built in Philadel-
phia in 1880, but it did not prove
success. The first successful factory
was started in 1870 at Alvarado. Cal.
It was in continuous operation until
it was torn down a couple Of years
ago.

the children's aid, permanent improve
ment in the physical condition of the
neighborhood is assured.
Deficient, ungraded children have
found great delight in the garden and
have proved themselves capable Of
understanding how to plant and care
for the crops. To this end, brighter
future has been secured for children,
who, by the benefcent healing of the
great Mother Nature, have found a
little niche they can adequately fill in
the scheme of things, and instead Of
a burden to the community they will
become useful members of society. A

SOME SATISFACTORY BULBS
BY JULIE ADAMS POWELL

BY JULIE ADAMS POWELL,
In planting a perennial flower gar
den one must spare corner, or strip
of ground, for the hardy bulbs which
come up from year to year with very
little care, excepting the general care
which flower lovers all give to their
gardens such as keeping the weeds
down, fertilizing the ground in the
fall, and loosening the earth in the
springtime.
Scilla Siberica is very satisfactory,
it being one of the first oright-blue
flowers to greet US, for it comes in
crocus time. Then there is the Scilla
Campanulata, or Spanish bluebell.
These bulbs, grown in masses with
snowdrops, grape and feathered n.y.
acinths, are charming in effect.
My crocuses are planted in the lawn

seedman, and ask for the best and
freshest. Don't use old seed left over
from last year, but insist on having
it fresh. Insist on a good mixture.
The best time to seed a new lawn
is during the latter part of August or
the early September. At that season,
the heat is over and showers are al
most sure to come, and the young
grass will have several months Of
cool, moist weather in which to grow

Ate Loo Much.

There was a dame in our town
Whose appetite was hearty;
She always made her hostess froWn
When she went to a party.
