EARL OF STAIR.

One of the most brilliant of the
younger officers. of the British army

Guards He served with great gall
1antry in South Africa, and in 1906
was elected to Parliament from Wig
townshire, the ancestral home of his
family. He held the rank OF major at
the outbreak of the present war. The
Earl is a descendant of John Dali
lreformers, who lived in the sixteenth
century. The first baronet, created In
1864, was a jurist under Cromwell,
Charles II. and William III. The eral-
dom of Stair was created in 1903 and
conferred upon the Sir John Dali
rymp1e who had instituted the Glen
coe massacre. The second earl was

REDUCING THE COST
OF RETAIL TRADE,

There are two main elements Of
the cost in the goods you buy at the
retail storee 1. the price paid the
dealer who sold them to the retailer:
g. the local cost OF sales force. and
overhead charges. including rent,
taxes, Bookkeeping, etc.
The first of these charges can he
reduced only as exceptional skin in
buying is shown by the retail dealer.
But the second Of these elements
OF expense for sales cost and over
head charges can be greatly 1essened
by advertising, which interests a
great many people, draws more GUS
toners to the store, and increases;
sales.
If the sales are doubled, the ex-
pense Of clerks. rents, taxes, book
keeping may be increased little If
any. Consequently the merchant
can AFFORD to sell his goods for much
less, since he has cut these CHARGES
in two. That is why it is cheaper to
buy from merchants who advertise.

ST. BRIDGET.

st. Bridget, who shares with the i'm
mortal st. Patrick the spiritual pa
tronage of the island, was a daugh-
ter of one of the Ulster princes, and
was born at about the time that Ire
land was first converted to Christian
ity. In her youth she was remark
able for her piety, and she was still
q girl when she took the monastic
vow and thus became the first nun in
Ireland. She established her cell un-
der a large oak tree, which had prev
iously been the site of pagan worship,
and around this first Irish nunnery
eventually was built the city Of Kill

many miracles, according to the an

in the act of disposing of q, number
of documents which he at the time
of his detention had taken with him
from the legation. An investigation
of these documents showed that they
were of the most intimate kind, con-
tanning exact information of the
years 1913 and 1914, about the Bel.
gian mobilization plans and about the
defense of Antwerp. Among them
were also found circular DEGREES dt-
rected to the higher Belgian COM
mands, with facsimile signatures of
the Belgian minister of war and of
the Belgian general staff. Further
more, a report of a session of the
commission for the provisions base
| at Antwerp of May 27, 1913, was
| found.
The fact that these documents had
been at the English legation suff1-
| GENTLY proves that the Belgian gov

/ secrets from the English government
| and that those two governments had

| OF special interest is also a hand
| written note which was found with
the papers and for the destruction OF
which the English secretary was very
anxious. It was of the following
tenor:
InfoEmatdons.
4 Cd The French officers have re-
ceived order to rejoin on

ceived order to concentrate

4 Communicated by the brigade de
/ gendarmerie at F'rameries.
Tt is of interest to note that F'eig-
MES is a railway station on the Maui
i beuge- Mons line about two miles
from the F7ranco-Belgian Boundary.
From this note we learn that France
as early as July 9th had taken her
first mobilization measures and that
the English legation received notice
Of this fact immediately from the
| Belgian government.

/ proof of the relations which existed
between England and Belgium the
material found will be q. valuable sup

COJJNTERFEITEBS OUT
WITH FAKE MONEY ORDER

Counterfeiters are flooding the coun-
try with spurious money orders. ac-
eording to a notice received from the
post Office department at Washington.
The fake order is an imitation of
the one issued by the Baltimore post
Office and is such clever piece of
work that only an expert can tell the
difference by ordinary inspection.
Warning is given that business men
should refuse to pay out money on
any order purporting to be issued in
Baltimore until the post office has ex-
amined it and pronounced it all right.
There are several minor variations
from the genuine in the counterfeit.
The paper on which it is printed is
heavier and darker in tone. but to
such a small degree that it would be
hard to tell the difference. The fake
order is one-sixteenth of an inch
shorter than the genuine and several
of. the letters of the printing vary in
size.

When Is Time to Plant the Garden?

VNgtiEN is the roper time for pre-,

The United States Department
of Agriculturals specialist says that In
the Spring as soon as the soil has dried
SO that a handful when grasped in the
hand and gripped by the fingers will
slowly fall apart upon being released, 1t
is in a fit mechanical condition to pre-
pare for planting. Clay or heavy soils
should never be worked while wet, More
injury may be lone by doing this than
can be overcome in several years of care
full culture.
When the soil is found dry, as de-
scribed above, the upper three inches
should be made fine>by the use of the
hoe and steel-tooth rake; all rubbish,
stones and clods should be removed and
the surface made even, somewhat COM
pact, and as level as the countour of the
area will permit. 1t may then be marked
off for planting in conformity to the gem
eral plan of the garden.
Much of the soil in the average back
yard is not only poor in plant food and
deficient in decaying vegetable matter,
but it is hard and unyielding. However,
such is the basis which many a housewife
or child has to use for the making of a
garden. Teachers who plan school gar
lens for their pupils also have similar
conditions to meet. Therefore, in order
to get good results, careful attention
muse be given to the preparation of the
soil.
Testing Soil.
Soils which are naturally moist are
likely to be sour and so not in the best
condition for the crop. Whether sour
or no it will be well to have the pupils
test them, which can be done as follows:
Secure from a drugstore a piece OF
blue litmus paper then take a handful OF
the soil slightly moistened and. place the
paper on it. If sour the paper will turn

red. To correct such a condition lime
should be used. Cover the ground with
a thin coat Of air-slaked lime, which can
probably be secured nearby at small cost,
and work this in well. The use of the
lime, while not a plant food, will correct
the acidity and will improve the physical
condition of the soil.
II the soil is clayey or a stiff clay loan
and the location is ina section where
severe freezing occurs, it will be found a
decided advantage to give the area a
heavy dressing of decomposed manure in
the Autumn, and before freezing weather
sets in spade the land so as to turn the
manure under and leave the soil in a
rough, lumpy condition so as to secure
the benefit of the digestive action of the
Winter freezes in reducing the soils.
This should be repeated annually at
the North. If the soil is light and sandy.
a mulch of manure may be spread over
it in the Fall and the spading delayed
until Spring.
In localities where the soil does not
freeze, the manure may be applied in the
Autumn and the soil repeatedly spaded
during the Winter whenever it is dry
enough to be worked.
The value of freezing at the North can
to an extent be attained by repeated
spadings at the South. The one general
%precaution which should always be OBJ
served is never to stir the soil while it
is wet. 9

Jewelry Making Is a
New Utility Art
(Special to the Farm Magazine.)

~ LIZ 4 u IL
REWELRY-MAKING is a new utility
art at the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege under the direction Of the art
department, and the craft has proved
popular among both students and faculty.
Brass, copper, silver and gold are the
materials used. Native stones-particu-
larly the agate-and stones from Eastern
lapidaries, are used for settings.
The students originate the designs
used and work out their own ideas as TO
stones and colorings, although they may
get their inspiration from any source,
and emphasis is placed upon the design.
The first problem for the student is
that of saving and soldering copper, since
this is the most easily handled, and most
inexpensive material and gives the stu
lent practice in handling teals. Watch
fobs, brooches and hatpins are sorne of
the first articles made.
After a problem in .stonesetting, sheet
silver is used for such problems as the
making of rings, buckles, chains, neck
laces, pendants and bracelets. Ball max
ing, etching casting, repousseant and fill
gree are other problems used in the fash
ioning of such articles as rings, bracelets,
pendants. etc. After some skill is ae-
quired, the student is allowed to work
with gold, which presents its own peculiar
problems.
Work in pounded metal in the making
OF larger articles, such as bowls, a
sticks and ornaments in various mate
rails, will be introduced with the expan-
sion of the. department.
Liver of sulfur and mercuric chloride
besides other agents are used for color
ing silver.
The better the equipment the more
skilled the work will be, but with just
such simple tools as needle. files, NAL
lets, hammers, a small piercing saw No.
O-4, 0-5, and coarser, and saw, frame,
drills, tongs, wise, pliers, blowpipe, alco-
hol lamp or Bunsen gas-burner and a sol
dering outfit, much fine work is done.
The reference books used in the course
are Silver Work and Jewelry," by II.
Wilson; 'Jewelry,' by H. Clifford Smith;
Cooper Work. by Augustus f.. Rose,
and Metal Work and Etching by John
Adams. New books are constantly being
added that afford inspiration for the stu
dents.
Jewelry making is a one-year course,
elective for seniors of the domestic science
course, but is open to other students.
As this craft is being introduced more
and more into the public school 1t is
hoped that jewelry making will be made
a part of the industrial arts course now
taught in the college.
