Frankly Answered.

The teacher in public school was instructing a youthful class in physi- ology, and when the interval of ques- tioning came she turned to bright faced girl at the head of the class.
 Now, then, Mildred" said she, can you tell me what cuticle is?"
 Mildred couldn't. First she stood on one foot, then on the other. inter- spersing the act with many facial con- tortions, but the answer was not forth coming.
 Let me put it to you another way, Mildred" continued the teacher, en- couragingly. What are my face and hands covered with?"
 "Oh, know, Miss Mary" exclaimed Mildred, with a brightening express sion, "Freckles!"

Stony Soils and Orchards.

A stony loam is often recommend ed as a desirable fruit soil, but stones are advantageous only in that they may help a soil that is too heavy or clayey or too impervious, by making it somewhat more previous to water. The fact that a soil is stony does not necessarily imply that it is productive. If apples are to be grown with profit and competition is keen, the soil must be productive or at least be capable of being brought to productive state and so maintained. Much of the curr- ent belief that stony" soils posses some peculiar advantage for orchard fruits has undoubtedly arisin from the success of many orchards located on stoney hills.

NEW WEATHER INFORMATION

The relative humity in the middle of the day will hereafter be included in the weather reports furnished daily by the Weather Bureau to the newspapers At present observations of the relative humidity are taken at 8'o'clock in the morning and o'clock in the evening, but at these times the temperature is likely to be much lower and the relat- i've humity much higher than in the middle of the day. An extra observa- tion of the relative humity will there fore be taken probably at p. m.
 This additional information is ex- pected to be not only of general inter est to the public at large, but of prac- tical value in certain branches of man. ufacturing. The humidity of the at mosphere plays for example, an inn portant part in cotton spining, and in many textile mills it is necessary to increase it by artificial means. An ob- servation of the relative humidity at 2 D. m. will indicate much more cor rectly than figures obtained at the beginging or end of the day.

most farms receive little or no atten- tion, it is sufficient evidence that with good management and the use of se- lected breeds the farmer would be more favorable to poultry if he would make the experiment.
 So long have farmers overlooked poultry that it is surprising how many inquiries come from that class asking information on the methods of man agement; yet these farmers are fami- liar with the care and management required for horses, cattle, sheep and pigs. It is however, creditable to such farmers that they are disposed to learn once more. They will make no mis- take in placing the poultry depart ment of the farm on a plane higher than that now occupied.
 The course to pursue is gradually to increase the flocks every year, and not venture too largely at first, so as to gain experience while learning the business. And in a few years there will be good profit coming in from poultry, the capital invested therein having been created by the fowls dur ing the progress of development of the business. Begin in the poultry busi- ness with determination to succeed in few years, and so secure as much profit as possible with the least out lay for buildings and labor.

In thirty-siX hours the grippe was knocked silly and 1 felt like a new man ever since"

,N OPPORTUNITY FOR THE
 SOUTH.

Al the present time, when many of ,,. commissioners of war materials, u well as big concerns like the Vest .~ahouse Company, the Amercian Tes.omotive s Co.,, and the Baldwin Loc- -otive Co.,, are enlargeing or equipp- m ;ar existing plants or buying or leas- @ :.1 idle plants in order to take care of .he % heavy orders which they have re- ..;ved for war materials, the Chamber # Commerce of Cumberland, Md, in Ao last issue of the Manufactures pocord calls attention to the opportun- ;.v for manufacturers of war materi- ols to secure a large idle factory hnilding already equipped with power plant.
 This suggests that throughout the south there are number of idle n1ants which might possibly be found available for use by concerns which have received such large orders for war materials that an increase of tbeir facilities is needed. Throughout New England especially there is very creat activity in plants which have been producing war materials, and same companies have found it neces- cary to secure additional factories in order to fill their orders.
 Commercial organizations through out the South knowing of plants that might be available for work of this kind might very properly get in touch with those who are placing these war orders. or with the concerns which are securing them, with a view to finding ont whether some of the idle plants in the South could not be thus utiliz- ed
 Moreover, there are many concerns in the South which might by some changes or the enlargement of their equipment be able to handle contracts for various kinds of war material. It is true that some concerns in the South have received orders of this kind, but the South has had small proportion of the great volume of business which has been placed. Rail road officials as well as commercial organizations throughout the South might well look into this situation with view to utilizing the opportu- nity to find work for some of the shops in the South that are now idle or not fully employed and wich could readi- ly be turned to work of this kind.
 The Chamber of Commerce of Cum berland, in the way in which it is endeavoring to interest the manufac- turers of war materials in the oppor- unity at that city, is showing an alertnesS to take advantage of the present situation which might very wisely be followed by many other con- cems.-Manufacturers Record.

MAUI HORSEMAN
EXPLAINS HANDICAP
Louis Won Tempsky Denies Any
DISCRIMINATION Against Own
err Of Welcome Boy

Louis Won Tempsky, chairman Of the
executive committee of the Maui Rae
ing Association, states that there has
been a Misunderstanding about the
trotting and-pacing free-for-all race to
be held at spreckels Park, July 4. He
says that the race will not be a single
heat affair, as was at first advertised,
but that the conditions call for the
best three heats in FIVE. ..l
The handicap condition, states the
veteran Maui sportsman, was provided
on account of no 2:15 class being ca
tered for on the program this year, as
has heretofore been the case. 1t was
felt that there was not enough money
on hand for both classes, and that IL
would be best to eliminate the slow
class and let owners enter their horses
in the free-for-all, the slow division
receiving a time allowance from the
fast horses, with the idea Of making
them contenders with some chance to
win. '.g.....g Asf
Won Tempsky further states that
there has never been any intention %
making Welcome Boy coneede any time
to Denervo, and that the handicap con-
dition will insure the crowd seeing
horse-race, even should one Of the two
cracks meet with an accident during
training. .r
1.-THE Same old honest inducement
for local owners to bring their horses
to the meeting is here as ever" says
Won Tempsky, "and that indictment
is that every entrant will get the same
fair play that he has always received,
and that the winner will get the whole
amonnt of the purse that has Eeen Of
'fened, as has always been done. y j
Won Tempsly prophesies a success.
full meeting.
According 10 the program Published
in the Mani News and sent to local
owners, the seventh race on the card
is quarter of mile ree-for.all, for
which the handsome purse of 1925 is
hung up, $40 to 60 to the winner.
1t is seldom that a two-furlong dash
figures on a local program, and the size
of the purse offered makes the present
instance the more remarkable. -
