citizen as he entered a crockery
store the other morning with an anx-
lous look on his face.
Anything within reason. of course"
was the reply.

Thousands, of course"
My wife was telling me this morn

least three bushels of strawberries
this summer, and she'll be around here
to ask the price of fruit jars. l want
you TO tell her that, owing to the war,
they have gone up to SIS a dozen"
"Oh, my!" gasped the crockery man.
81 have got a dealer to lie to her

HAS LUTHER'S WEDDING RING
Precious Relic, Authentic, That Is in
the Possession of New York
Woman.

The wedding ring of Martin Lu-
theirs bride is one of the treasured
possessions of Mrs. Hildegard Pinkert
wife Of Macmillan Pinkert, who has
charge of the German branch of st.
Bartholomew's church, 209 East For
ty-second street, and is also superin-
tendent of the Seamen's institute, in
South street, says a New York dis
patch to the Detroit Free Press.
1t bears the Inscription, I'D. MARITIME
Lutheros-Catherine V. Bora, Den Is.
Juni, 1925"
Doctor Luther met Catherine Won
Bora at the home of the duke of Sax
Ony after the convent of which she
had been a member had been dis
solved. They were married soon aft
erward by Doctor Bugenhagen, Lu-
theirs closest friend.
The ring is quite large and fits the
thumb of an ordinary hand. It is set
with brilliant ruby. 1t had been
Luther's personal ring, given to him
when he was ordained.
For 400 years the ring remained in
possession of the notwithstanding
family of Leipsic, of whose family Lu-
Tiers bride was a member and from
whom Mrs. Pinkert is descended. For
100 years 1t was in possession of that
branch Of the family of which the wife
of Rev. N. c. Walters of ST. Luke's
church, Leipsic, was a member. A
few years ago she gave the ring to
Baroness Won Georgi, her niece
There has been a tradition that the
ring should never be worn except by
the eldest daughter of the direct de-
scendant; also that it should be worn
only on the hand of the daughter who
became the wife of a clergyman. Bar
oness Won Georgi, although the eldest
daughter, gave this ring to her sister,
Mrs. Pinkert, last summer when Doc
tor and Mrs. Pinkert visited the old
home of Waldenburg, near Leipsic.
Doctor Pinkert, desiring to be as
sured of its genuineness, consulted
Carl Jensen of the Leipsic institute
of art, and he gave it as his opinion
that it was genuine.
This ring was referred to by H. Noel
Humphreys, an authority, in an article
in the Observer in February, 1862, in
which an illustration of it appeared.
He described it as the betrothal ring,
but the Pinkerts have always under
stood that it was used at Luthers
marriage. He says:
THE betrothment ring of Luther,
which belonged to a family at Leipsic
as late as 1917, and is doubtless still
preserved with greatest care as a ma
tional relic of great interest, is COM
posed of an intricate device of gold
work, set with a ruby, the emblem of
exalted love. The gold device repre-
sents all the symbols of the passion.
In the center is the crucified Savior,
on one side the spear with which the
side was pierced and the rod of reeds
of the flagellation. On the other is a
leaf of hyssop."

Entertainment Suggestion That Is

TEACHING CALVES TO DRINK
Little Fellows Can Easily Be Taught
to Help Themselves by Giving
Warm Milk in Pail.

Calves should be removed from the
mother within a day or two. Some
advocate never allowing them to suck,
others let them suck once, then re-
move them. Whichever way is done,
the calf can easily be taught to drink
by fastening it in a rigid stanchion and
giving it the warm new milk in
clean pail.
Feed sparingly at first, one and
half to two quarts of milk, morning,
noon and night, for the first week,
then drop the noon feed and increase
others up to four quarts of feed night
and morning.
Change gradually from whole milk
to skim milk. Feed all milk warm
and sweet.
Use dairy thermometer and warw
to 90 or 95 degrees.

In preparing the stand, the exterior
of the basket should be painted with
enamel, selected of color to harmc =
iZe with the other colors that there
may be in the hall A small tin of
enamel will be quite sufficient for this
purpose, and it can be obtained in
any shade of color and is better than
ordinary paint as it soon becomes
dry and is easily washed
The interior of the basket can be
lined with sateen and the material can
be securely fastened in place with
stitches drawn in and out the wicker
work. If basket made of open wick
er-work has been selected, some very
pretty effects can be obtained. For
instance, if the basket has been paint
ed with white enamel, a pale pink
or pale blue lining showing through
the wicker work will look very dainty
and nice
The handles of the basket can be
tied up with ribbons of a color to
match the lining, but in a darker
shade. To complete the stand, tin
or strong common china soup-plate or
a fiat enamel bowl should be fitted
into the bottom of the basket

EMBROIDERY ON WHITE DRESS
Most Effective Decoration for Point
D'Esprit, So Suitable for the
Graduation Frock.

White point d'esprit is a favorite
material for graduation frocks. A
new dress of this material lately ex-
hibited is very attractively embroid-
cred in colors. Wreaths of forget-me-
nots embroidered in pink and blue
decorate the neck line of the dress
and fill in the large scallops which are
cut in three ruff1es of the frock. The
French combination of colors is used
for the sash, the ends of which are
embroidered in black.
Make glad the hearts of your daugh-
tiers who are preparing for commence
ment exercises by adding hand en-
broidery to their graduation frocks.
If you are unable to embroider intri-
cate stitches, follow a simple cross
stitch design. Most effective results
have been gained by the application
Of the cross stitch.

Helps for Peach Growths to Control
Insect Pests.

After a grower has pruned intelli-
gently, titled and fortified his orchard
we'll, and irrigated it if that has been
required, the orchard may be short
lived and the crops financial failures
if he neglects to give proper attention
to the control of the insects and dis
eases which habitually occur in his
region. While it is true that there are
some rather serious peach parasites
which are regional in their occurrence
and some of those which are widely
disseminated remain unknown thus far
in certain districts, it is likewise true
that a considerable number OF both
insect pests and fungous diseases are
to be found pretty nearly everywhere
in the country in which peaches are
grown.

pertinent station in his state, so that
