WATER PLANTS PLENTlFULLY

When you water plants, soak them
and have done with it. 1t is the little
dabs of water all the time that do the
mischief. Out of doors it doesn't rain
every few minutes, but when it does it
soaks them and then stops.
Morning is the best time to water
the plants. Stand the pots in a tub
of water deep enough to reach almost
to the rim of the pot. When the soil
turns black on top take them out and
drain-L. o. B.

BRYAN RESIGNS.
nents 60.

Last week William Jennings Bryan
rendered his resignation to President
Wilson as secretary of state, which
was very reluctantly accepted by the
president.
Mr.. Bryan gave as his reason for re-
signing that he could not agree with
the president on the note he was send
ing 60 the German government rela-
tive to the sinking of the Lusitania.
When the note came to be given to
the public, the general opinion prevail
ed that Mr.. Bryan haQ been extreme in
his views. Mr.. Bryan wished to fol-
low the course set out in the thirty
other treaties negotiated with foreign
countries, that the questions be discuss
ed for one year before gong to war.
The general opinion prevails that
there will be no war between this
country and Germany over the sinking
of the great passenger vessel.

REPORT ALL BLIND BABIES.
Tennessee Now Cares For Them Frof
the Day They Are Blind.

1t is not generally known that tn
State of Tennessee has passed law
that gives special care. maintenance
and education to the blind of the state
from the day they are blinded.
1t is at last fully realized that a
child blinded In infancy is not likely
to live to what has been considered the
school age, eight years, without becom-
ing crippled both mentally and physic-
ally because of lack of special care
that should be given in the first years
of the child's life. Most of the babies
die before they reach the age of eight
years, and those who manage to exist,
meet with worse fate by becoming
teeble-minded.
Therefore, mothers, take note of this
new step in education that Tennessee
has made, and report your blind babies
to Mrs. Cynthia Westover Alden, Pres
ident General of the International Sum-
shine Society. and Founder of the
Home, SO Fifth avenue, New York
City.
You will receive prompt attention
and booklets and reports on the care of
the baby blind will be sent free to
those who wish them.

HARDSHIPS OF THE DESERT
BY Comparison the Average Man VIII
Think His Lot Cast In Most
Pleasant Places.

We are almost across the desert,
and l am really becoming interested.
The difficulties some folks work under
are enough to make many of us
ashamed. In the very center of the
desert is a little settlement called
Eden Valley. Imagination must have
had heap to do with its name, but
one thing is certain: the serpent
will find the crawling rather bad if
he attempts to enter this Eden, for the
sand Is hot; the alkali and the cactus
are there, so it must be a serpent
less Eden. The settlers have made a
long canal and bring their water many
miles They say the soil is splendid,
and they don't have much stone; but
it is such fiat place! wonder how
they get the water to run when they
irrigate.
We saw many deserted homes.
Hopes skeletons they are, with their
yawning doors and windows like eye
less sockets. Some Of the houses,
which looked as if they were deserted,
held families. We camped near one
such Mrs. O'Shaughnessy and went
up to the house to buy some eggs. A
hopeless-looking woman came to the
door. The hot winds and the alkali
dust had tanned her skin and bleached
her hair; both were gray-brown.
Her eyes were blue, but were so tired
looking that I could hardly see for the
tears.
NO. she said, "we amt got no
eggs. We amt got no chickens, You
see this ground is sandy, and last
year the wind blowed awful hard and
all the grain blowed out SO we didn't
have no chance to raise chickens. We
had no feed and no money to buy feed,
SO we had to kill our chickens to save
their lives. We ct 'em. They would
have starved anyway."-The Woman

Motorcycle on Wall.

Going at speed of from seventy-fve
to eighty-five miles an hour a motor
cyclist succeeded in driving his ma
chine around the perpendicular wall
at the top of motordrome. This Is
a regular amusement park feat for
motor cars, but is seldom attempted
with a motorcycle, since the machine
must be driven at terrific speed and
must stand out almost horizontally
from the wall. 1t is a good example
of the power of centrifugal force, as
we'll as of the skill and nerve of the
driver.-Popular Mechanics Magazine.

FACTOR IN MODERN WARFARE
Commanding Generals Could Not
Handle Present Enormous Armies
Without the Motor.

With millions of men drawn up in
battle array at one and the same time,
to handle them effectively by old-time
methods would have been impossible.
Even before the opposing fronts were
extended to their fullest degree in
France alone, they were officially de-
clared to have attained a length Of
300 miles, and one of 270 miles in the
east-fgures which not only convey
some indication of the stupendous
size of the engaging forces, but even
more emphatically suggest the tre-
mendous responsibilities of the COM
manders in chief.
Nevertheless, although they have to
deal with millions instead of tens of
thousands, the commanders concerned
have never had their forces so COM
pletely under CONTROL in every phase
of the warfare, whether of transport,
attack, defense or supply, the keynote
of the operation has been effectiveness
of the completest kind.
The motor, in short, has "speeded
up" the war in way that could never
have been dreamed Of by former gen.
erations Never have the movements
of troops been so rapid; for, instead
of men having to wait for ammunition
and food supplies, these have been
conveyed by motor wagons which can
travel, if need be, much faster than
the armies Observation-Disclosures l..
