MISS TERHUNE HONOREE
 AT INFORMAL DANCE

Miss Kathryn Terhune of New York. who is the attractive guest of Miss Bland Tomlinson, has been the inspiration of a series of entertainments, but none were more thoroughly delightful and enjoy able than the informal dance of last even- inS with Mrs. Frank Nelson as a charm- ing hostess at her beautiful home on Iro- quois street. The guests included the members of the Wednesday Night Bridge club. Mrs. Nelson's home is especially attractive in the spring of the year and the garden is a bower of lovely and frag- rant blossoms. Here the hostess was as- sisted in receiving by Mrs. John Tom hnson, Mrs. Viola Roden-R -Redin, Miss Tcmlinson and Miss Terhune. Miss Ter hume was beautifully gowned in pale pink tafieta and Miss Tomlinson was lovely in dainty lowered costume of the same material.

Dancing was enjoyed by the following young folks: Miss Tcmlinson, Miss Terhune Miss Marguerite Nabers, Miss Margaret Chen oweth, Miss Belle Roberts, Miss Cora Gregg, Miss Mayo Thach, Miss Mary Munger.

To the interested observer. however has modelled his farm. not only for the sake of appearance, but for economical and practical reasons as we'll
 With the advent of spring, man like his little featured friends, which come as the harbinger of the season, turns his thoughts to the hoe and the rake, and the ground, and what he most wants to do of all other things is to plant some- thing.
 A visit to MT. Lusco's truck farm will in- spire this spirit more in him than ever before, because there he sees in symmetri- cal, methodical arrangement, beautifully planned garden, which just time and pa- tience and energy have made possible.
 In talking with MT Lusco about his garden and the various crops that he makes each year-for he can always be depended upon to furnish the seasonable vegetables in large quantities. he said among other things:
 You see, I've been farming now for % years. I came to this country from Pal ermo with an idea that some day I would own big tract of land and have an ideal truck farm. This ground that I now oc- cupy is not mine, much as I would ike to OWu IL, Out dIu Stlil TeHliflS duu llOp ing.
 T have 20 acres under cultivation" he continued, "and that enables me to fur nish all the year round any vegetables that can be grown in this climate. l sell the largest quantities to Alosi at Five Points. ..IIe is a regular customer who buys my vegetables fresh every day ana gives in turn his customers the best ir the mar'Set."
 What are the biggest assets required in making truck farm profitable?' I asked.
 "A man must work all the time" said Mir. Lusco, and always be on the job. [ get up every morning at 4 oclock-some- times don't go to bed before Hand often work at night when the moon is shining. I have three assistants and they are ali good farmers, so among us we manage to operate one of the best truck farms around Birmingham"
 Flow have you distributed the planting of vegetables?" I asked.
 q have under cultivation at present. y was the reply, -four acres in onions, a half acre in mustard greens, two acres m lettuce, two acres in beets two acres in cabbages and two acres in turnips. ~ course we have several acres planted in corn which will be ready for the rarket by June 10 if conditions are favorable. 1 planted my corn on March 15 and my neighbors laughed at me, but I went or

HISTORY TREATED AS A HARMONIOUS, CON- SECUTIVE MARIA TIVE IN LARNED'S HISTORY OF THE
 WORLD

Many histories of the world resemble patchwork of disjointed events and des- pltory descriptions. Not so with Lar ned's superb history. He has perhaps achieved his most notable success in bringing together the important happen ings of history for 70 centuries in such a connected and harmonious manner that the history of each nation in it's world movements reads as smoothly as a con- tinuous, uninterrupted narrative. We trace the story of humanity in its pages from ancient Egypt to modern Mexico. The style is clear, concise, and vigorous and the interest is not allowed to flag. From one event we are led to another in logical sequence. In this way facts are not isolated entities but each stands out as an integral part of the vast scheme of human development. As a means of grasping and understanding the march of mankind from primitive savagery to the ethical ideals of the twentieth century. the work is unequalled. This paper's remarkable coupon offer puts the pos session of this wonderful work in five vol umes in the power of each and every one of its readers. As the supply is limited. no time should be lost in clipping the coupons that appear daily in The Age Herald.

just the same, and as l tell you by the early part of June I will have fine speci- mems of corn on the market It is abou. six inches high now.
 The same way it is with butterbeans, said MT Lusco. .'They are out of the ground now about three inches high, and are good, hearty looking specimens"
 How much do you sell each day of spinach, parsley, lettuce and mustard greens?" I asked.
 Mustard greens lead in quantity" said Mr. Lusco. Twenty dozen punches day is our average. Ten and fifteen dozen on- ions, sometimes as high as 8 dozen q day; 10 dozen of spinach. five dozen of parsley, and five dozen of lettuce covers tn, amount.
 "Outslde of my patronage in the city" MT Lusco said. "I ship great many vegetables away from here and that in- creases my sales very largely am happy and prosperous on my farm and take great pleasure in it and do no. see why any thrifty citizen who wishes to cannot have a model truck farm of his own. provided he is willing to give the time and attention to it that is neces- sary."

Finds Prices Vary

Tn your recipes you often enumerate among other ingredients cents woith of prices in the different stores and towns that such prescription is absolutely worthless. I often buy a gargle anywhere between Chicago and Corpus Christi At my home town in Kansas I have had Il druggist refuse pay for it on the ground that the ingredients did not cost a cent, which l knew was true. At most places l am charged b to 25 cents, sometimes s5 cents, and at Sherman I once paid s0 cents With such difference in prices to specify 10 cents worth of drug is SD inoefnite as to make recipe absolutely of no value. Don't you think so?

HEALTH AND INDEPENDENCE FOUND ON A
 MODEL "TRUCK FARM" AT GREEN SPRINGS
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE

The "back-t the farm movement has attracted the attention of thousands of city dwellers-clerlks, mechanics. business and professional people-within the past few years, and 1t Is astounding to ob- serve how many Of them are hoping that some day. they may locate in the coun- try
 Some merely dream about it; others make their dreams come true.
 Of the latter, some are successful and happy; others return to the city dis gusted and worn out after more or less trying experiences.
 There is no mistake that within the past decade there has been a wonderful re- vival in agricultural matters. which is probably due to a combination of several distinct influences.
 Among these may be mentioned the increased cost of agricultural products; the betterment of social conditions in the country. such as the telephone, the automobile and the rural free delivery all making agriculture come into it's own, and the back-to-the farm movement nc longer a dream. for it now exists. and it is being more and more highly regarded.
 farm values eSpeclally near the center of population are increasing and neg lected farms are being regenerated and converted into profit paying establish ments.
 A model truck farm,'' which it is a pleasure to visit, is at the termination of Eleventh avenue, south-Montgomery street, at Green Springs-on the highway to Shades mountain.
 It is operated successfully by MT. D. Lusco, a thriving, energetic. clever Ital- ian, who lives on the farm-happiiy and contenteoly--worlSing it. making it pay handsomely. and here with his wife and nine children he has found health and in- dependence.
 Situated on slight knoll, just undulat- ing enough to drain well, and get the best exposure is MT. Luscos truck farm," and to the casual observer along the road it represents merely pretty, attractive. appearance, with it's long rows of bright, green lettuce, onions. beets, cabbage, mustard greens and all sorts of other vegetables in season.
