MISS ElMA VAllETTE'S SUR
PRISE PARTY.

Suppose YOU appeared before your
| friends some fine morning, and they
surrounded YOU and told you in all sin
cerity that you were not looking well:
ed either a doctor or fresh air. but
that you must have one or the other:
and you chose the latter and hied
yourself in desperation to place
where fresh air abOunds, and you
breathed Justify of this invigorating
ozone until YOU were feeling well
enough to appear before your friends
without giving them a nightmare; and
lastly, YOU returned home to show
your friends that you were still
amongst the living: and these friends
would not allow you to come to your
home, but would lead you to the II.
y. G.. c., and there you would find a
whole bevy of pretty faces greeting
you and inviting you to come in and
enjoy yourself-would you not be sur
prised? Well, | should say yes, Well,
this is exactly what happened to
charming Elma Vallette. And so sur
prised was she as she faced her young
friends and realized what they had
done that tears of joy and gratitude
actually rolled down her cheeks. 1t
was a genuine surprise party, and
great credit is due to Miss y. Rey-
nolds and Raymond Curren and Mrs.
j. Reynolds for organizing such an
enjoyable party in such absolute Sc
crecy. After the first moments of sur
prise and when the minds were re-
stored to their normal state, the sway
ing sounds of piano hidden in cor
fner reminded the young people of
their purpose OF the evening. And oh,
didn't they whirl and whirl around, all
happy and giggling, until the too soon

SAVED TRAIN BY SAFETY PIN
New-Fangled Gown Caused Something
of a Confusion at New York
Dance.

One of those new-fangled trains be-
came unswitched at recent dance at
the Claridge, according to the New York
Times, and when the owner discovered
her loss she and the man at the hotel
desk had a-lot of trouble. 1t seems
that the new train is made so that 1t
can be worn or not worn, just as the
owner of the freak to which 1t belongs
fancies. When her friends expressed
their admiration of Mrs. Camille Roe's
new frock, all went merry as a mar
rage bell until one of these friends
became so enthusiastic over the way
Mrs. Roe managed her new train that
the latter drew out of the dance to
explain.

catching at her skirt. She caught in

The train had left the station. After
hurried search about the room, Mrs,
Roe went out to see If the train had
arrived at the desk.

somewhat breathlessly.
The clerk Immediately got out his
train guide. He thought she was a
commuter who had overstayed her

wished to catch a later train.

RISKS OF RED CROSS WORK
Doctors Who Operate on the Field
Under Fire Require Nerves
That Are Steady.

In the fighting area Red Cross work
ers are running greater risks than they
have ever done in past campaigns.
Those who succor the wounded do not
now wait until the end of battle be-
fore they commence their humane
work, neither do they remain in safety
some distance at the rear. The num-
bers of the wounded in modern battle
are too great for that, and assistance
must be given to them on the battle
field itself, with shot and shell whis-
ding around. Surgeons now make
their way along the trenches under
heavy fire, carrying small surgical
cases which contain number of alb
iolutely necessary medicines. These
include pain-killing drugs, such as
morphine, antiseptics and syringes. On
the wounded soldier himself a flrst-aid
outfit can be found, as every military
man carries in his knapsack a little
packet of antiseptic gauze and roll
Of bandages. The surgeon makes his
patient as comfortable as possible and,
If he can, drags him to a point where
the bursting shells are not likely to
njure him. Then, on his hands and
knees; the plucky worker makes his
way along the rows of dead and
wounded, taking as many, if not more,
risks than the "Tommies" themselves.
OF course, working under such try
ing conditions the surgeon caunor do
al he would wish for the wour IGd.
By means of injections from his hypo-
1ermic syringe he temporarily allevi-
ties their pain, and in serious cases
stops bleeding by tightly knotted
bandages placed round the injured
limb, while broken bones he puts In

RAISING DRY LAND POTATOES
Best Soil on Farm Should Be Selected
by Those Who Desire Success
Pillow Deep as Possible.

QBy A. ]. SILCOCK, Oelrichs. s. d.
The man who desires success in
potato raising should select the best
land on his farm for this crop. In the
preparation of the soil, backsetting is
best, If possible. The sod should be
double disked as early as possible in
the spring and narrowed after each
rain as soon as dry enough to handle.
If the weather is favorable, the pc.
tatoes should be planted as soon as
possible after the Goth of April.
Get good, clean, homegrown seed,
free from scab. advise some early
variety; the Early Ohio is good. If
possible, cut the seed potato so as to
have but one eye to a section. When
ready to plant, pillow (at least six
inches) and drop the potatoes into
every fourth furrow. II burrows are
narrower than IL inches, drop seed
into every fifth furrow or so that the
rows are about 'our feet apart Drop
one piece of seed potato in a place
averaging about fifteen to twenty
inches apart.
If one desires extra fine potatoes
the ground should be plowed as deep
as possible, and the potato seed Gov
cred not less than six inches.
AS soon as through planting. the
land should be narrowed, and harrow
ing should not be neglected after rains
until the potatoes are five or six
inches high. narrowing should be
done each time In direction opposite
to the last previous narrowing. After
the potatoes are up six inches, the
harrow should be discarded and the
cultivator used after deep rain until
the plants are in bloom. The first cul
tivation should be deep, but subse
quent civilizations should be as shall
low as possible to give results-that
is, kill the weeds and keep the mulch
Civilizations of the ripening plant
should not be so close to the plant
as In early growth.
The cultivator will always leave
some weeds near the plants, These
should be cut out carefully, but tho
land should never be "hilled up" as
the plants do much better with levelet

SOIL MULCH OF IMPORTANCE
Dry Farmer Must Remember That His
Success Depends Upon Degree to
Which He Prevents Waste.

So vitality important is q permanent
soil mulch for the conservation for
plant use of the water stored in the
soil that many attempts have been
made to devise means for the effective
cultivation of land on which small
grains and grasses are growing. In
many places plants have been grown
in rows so far apart that man with
a hoe could pass between them. SEQ
field has described this method as
practiced successfully in Tunis. Camp
bell and others in America have pro-
posed that drill hole be closed every
three feet to form path wide enough
for horse to travel in and to pull a
large spring-tooth cultivator with
teeth so spaced as to strike between
the rows of wheat. 1t is yet doubtful
whether, under average conditions,
such careful cultivation. at least of
grain crops, is justified by the returns
Under conditions of high aridity or
where the store of soil moisture is low,

tween crop success and failure, and 1t
is not unlikely that methods will be de-
vised which will permit of the cheap
and rapid cultivation between the rows
of growing wheat Meanwhile, the
dry farmer must always remember
that the margin under which he works
is small, and that his success depends
upon the degree to which he prevents
small wastes.
The conservation OF soil-moisture
depends upon the vigorous, unremit.
ting, continuous stirring of the topsoil
Cultivation! cultivation! and more cul
tivation! must be the war cry of the
dry farmer who battles against the
water thieves of an arid climate.

An Institute Of AarIcuIture.

More scientific farming resulting in
lower food prices in cities is the
vowed object of the free institute of
agriculture which has been in prog
ress in New York city throughout 20
weeks of the present year. The in
atitution depends upon cooperation
between the national department Of
agriculture, Columbia university and
the New York state department of
agriculture 1t is intended that per-
sons who intend to go into farming
shall be better prepared for this pur-
pose, while those who are not fitted
for that occupation may be deferred
from attempting it, 1t is also the
hope that abandoned farms near the
city may be subjected to proper de-
velopment.

Our President

The most impressive thing in the
United States during the last few
weeks has been the weight and power
of our public opinion gathering to
back the President in his conduct OF
the nations foreign affairs. without
any sensation or noise, the whole
mind of our people has set into reso-
luton. The protests of those who
are not of us in this matter are like
the squeaks of some field mouse
sounding across glacier There
have been many opinions held in this
country regarding the war and much
Tree expression of those opinions,
but now that diversity of feeling is
over and done with. The situation
concerns not only our rights, but
also the part we hope the United
States is to play in establishing JUS
tice as the basis for conducting re-
latlons between nations and in en-
larging freedom for mankind. When
the sober depths of realization are
sounded. that Is what our country
means to us, and it has been given
to very few men to express the SOU
of nations thought with the clear
ness and force and truth that have
made Wilson's recent messages a
page in history. The future is not
practicable, but it is certain now
that in an important crisis the Presl-
dent has behind him that ultimate
force of free government, the known
will Of the nation.
