here.
II is the root Of the plant about
which the grower is concerned, how
ever. These are curious looking tubers
I'M long strings or necklaces and borne
IN considerable abundance. They are
quite crisp, white in color, and each
segment is deeply corrugated, giving
the appearance Of larvs. They make
excellent vegetables used like potatoes
and have much more dclicacy Of taste.
They should be planted in rows IN
ordinary garden soil al about the end
Of March. the rows about a foot apart
and tho roots si@ inches apart, two
roots at a place Excepting occasional

become dark when exposed to the air.

A Writer Finds That Many Of Our Fore
most Women Believe in Them
selves Only as Agents of God.
In Analyzing the Personalities of Jane
Addams, DR.. Shaw, Kate Barnard,
Etc, Helen Christine Bennett Found
This Evidence to Refute Those Who
See a Lack Of Ideals and Religion
in the Woman Movement.

k(y0NHE prominent women in this
country to-day are working
not for fame nor glory, nor
for the Joy Of personal expression but
because they believe they are direct
agents of God and must minister to
his people"
II is Helen Christine Bennett. writer
of personality sketches, who has ar
rived at this conclusion after an init
mate study Of the work and the per-
sonality of the big women OF our day.
She has just written a book. american
Women in Civic Work." in which she
sets forth the work of the foremost OF
This country, all Of whom, she asserts,
believe themselves selected by a divine
agency for their particular work.
"As am neither a religious nor a
sentimental person, the knowledge OF
this belief, forced upon me after many
interviews and visits with these women,
had 8 profound effect" Miss Bennett,
who Is really Mrs. Maupin. said. "Thc
sense Of power beyond themselves,
impelling them onward. was general. l

at seemed significant TO me at a
time when people were decrying lack
of ideals and religion IN the woman

PRUNING FRUIT TREES

The aim Of every grower, even
if only a few trees are to be had,
should be to produce annual
crops Of high quality fruit. This
is impossible unless systematic
pruning is practiced The work
of pruning cannot be learned IN
a day. in the beginning, one
must exercise little common
sense, and in short while the
art will be acquired. tirst-class
tools are indispensable. Secure
a pruning saw, hand shears, and
a pair of long-handled Ioppets.
Study the individual tree and
decide upon the parts to be re-
moved before beginning to work.
The peach can be pruned Sc
verely each season. This is es-
sentiaI in order to keep the
bearing surface close TO the
ground. An open center tree
is most desirable. Each winter
remove from one-third to two
thirds of the past seasons
growth. The growth of the
peach is always progressive, and
unless kept in bounds the fruit
ing wood viii be far above the
ground, "a brush pile in the air.
Due to the widespread rayagea
of the blight, care should be
exercised in the pruning of the
pear trees and those varieties
of apples that are susceptible.
This disease is exceedingly de-
structiye to tender, succ dent
growth, and since heavy pruning
induces wood growth, it is essen
tial that care be exercised to
remove only q moderate amount
of wood each year. Remove and
destroy all diseased branches,
disinfecting pruning tools and
wounds with a solution of cor
rosive sublimate Il part cJrro-
sive sublimate to 1000 parts of
water) Progressive Farmer.

A WORD TO GRADUATES

A practical committeeman, in
presenting diplomas last June. to
a graduating class spoke as fol-
lows: Girls, in presenting YOU
these diplomas, if. by your signi-
hcance you are led to allow your
mother to do all the work, bake
all the bread, sweep all the
floors because you can read La
tin or demCnatfate theorem in
Geometry, then has your school
been a most unfortunate course.
and in all the teachings you have
ever received at my hands, |
trust there has been no lesson
that has weaned you from the
dish pan. Boys, if from this
graduation you go out into the
world too nice to carry wood and
swili the hogs, il. need be, then
has our school failed in its pur.
pose and sown the wrong seed. +"

HELP FROM THE SOUTH

The South promises to render
the country signal service in the
fight against preparedness. Ma
jority Leader Kitchin has already
taken a strong hand against the
proposed increase in the expen-
ditures of the army and navy.
Other southern congressman and
senators have also announced
their opposition to the program.
The south is democratic, and it
knows that militarism is unde-
mocratic; the south also knows
something Of the horrors of war
and does not want to invite war
by adopting the policy of the
war-like nations.
Here's to the south champion
of peace and Of the policy of
good will.
