clearing off the debt incurred by the
purchase of stereopticon lanterns

and $50 bouquets. All the flower girls
report that their flowers were quickly
sold, and that there was a demand for
three times as many as were offered
for sale. The appeal for the babies
opened all hearts, and we have many
kind and unknown friends to thank
for their help.
Wishing to make as large a profit

that the hair should be combed out

should be applied after the combing

MARBLES AS A SCHOOL
OF LIFE

To the eyes of the unobservant
the sight of group of boys p aging
marbles may have no particular in
terest. But to the philosophical
this incident of daily life may con.
vey some significance.
In the colder parts of the United
States, the sight of boys playing mar
bles Is accepted as one OF the liked
signs of spring. Boys almost never
play In the autumn. But few
breaths OF spring air bring them out.
This suggests how humorously fix
ed the customs of boys are, and quite
as infexible as the dictates OF fash
ion to grownup men and women.
It is a study Of human nature to
watch a group OF boys playing mar
bles. Four out Of five boys will do
to win. The game is not
formal enough to set up an umpire,
and youngsters Of an aggressive and
type get their own way.
AS these boys are not apt to have
a very active feeling for justice,
might almost always make right In
the marble ring.
Boys with keen sense Of justice
are apt to fare rather hard. This
feeling of equity is apt to go with a
rather sensitive child nature. Boys
u this temperament are much more
lpt to drop out of the ring and re-
use to play, than defend their rights
With their fists.
Thus these little men of a future |
lay get In the marble ring a first |
oretaste of the wrongs of the wide
World. The wise parents encourag
$ his youngsters to stick it out, no
natter to what grievances he may
e subjected. It's fine thing to
in. II Is a still finer thing to SUI
er abuse and to know to resent 1t
18th dignity and force. It's an even
ner thing to suffer wrong and to
eep good natured over 1t, and await
syenge some other day. The mar
lie ring is quite a little school of
fe. Ia

PROPER CARE OF
INCUBATOR

The successful running of an incu.
bator depends not only upon the
machine itself, but also on the place
where 1t is located, according to the
Poultry Department of the Utah Ag.
ricultural College. If the place Is a
cellar, 1t should be dry and we'll ven
tilated. Beginners do not always
realize that the eggs take in oxygen
from the surrounding air and give
off Coz during incubation period.
If the air is too damp, polluted or
filled with bad odors, the eggs alb
sorb it and the chick is killed. The
cause OF many poor matches may be
traced to some of these conditions.
No deoayed vegetation should be left
in the cellar where the ma.hine Is
10 be operated. There should be
window, open little way at least
to admit a change of air in the
place. You may find II worth while
to take out one OF the small win
dows and tack muslin over the space
during the time the machine is run
ming especially il late in the spring.
II you are operating the machine in
an upper room the same factors
should have attention. Fresh air, not
much change in temperature of the
room and free from draughts, are
some of the requirements for the
successful operation OF an incubator.

THE PROFITS OF
GARDENING

The motives that persuade the
householder to start In spring a back
yard garden are perhaps more phil
osophical than mercenary. Many
men have contemplative and pas
toraI liking for Seeing things grow
The culture OF infant beans and pc
fatoes offers something of the same
pleasure that comes from raising ba-
bies or dogs. The battle with pests
and obdurate soils is game of wits.
When the harvest is reached there
is n satisfaction in your good mess
OF garden truck not to be had from
any vegetables bought of the grocer.
The cost of food mas reached
point where the money motive ought
also to tempt a good many people
who possess back to raise garden.
IL is often said that these little home
patches do not pay, that after you
have dedu:ted cost of fertilizer and
seeds and labor hired, that you have
nothing left 1t Is true that hrst
year attempt shows many failures.
Mother Nature is shy sort OF a
customer. 1t takes experience ana |
practice to adapt your beans, peas,
or squashes to her habits. once
you learn the game, the power OF
sun and soil and rain are sure.
Many OF us have become too ayerse
to physical labor. AS boys most OF
us dug and hoed In our fathers gar
dens and thought nothing of 1t. AS
men we hire some superannuated la
borer to work over the land, who
charges us 81 per day for what an
active man could do in half the time.
No wonder there is no credit account
at the end of the season
Any indoors worker will be sur
prised, If he will give four or five
hours week to back yard agricul-
ture. to find how much better muscle,
wind, and digestion he has at the
end of the summer. There may be
10 money profit the first time. An
other summer should give you all of
the fresh vegetables of the season
for practically nothing.
