this sum sii.2oo.so has gone to the
regular savings banks.
between the time OF his last pre-
vious report and this one Mr.. Noel
sent out twenty.six questions to the
principals OF fifty.four schools - the
schools then using the banks. They
brought answers indicating that the
banks are having a good influence In
the schools. that the children have a
real interest In them. that the MAORI
~ OF children who save do so without
any definite object In view.
Mr.. Noels QUESTIONABLE brought
out the fact that the school banks do
promote n thrifty spirit aside from the
actual money saved. Fifty principals
answered yes to this question:
DO you believe that the bank
serves a good purpose In helping to
form character"
And ilfty.four answered yes to this
one:

standpoint OF the principal and the

Jnpan's Smart, But O,
You Kansas!

Il isn't safe to bet that anything will be done to-
morrow as it was done yesterday.
Take camphor for instance.
The japanese government has just lost one of the
biggest bets in the history of commerce.
Camphor trees grow wild in Formosa-whoe for
ests of them. For thousands of years the accepted
way to produce camphor gum was to cut down the
tree boil the wood and let the gum crystalline in the
still, from the steam. No tree under so years old
was eligible.
An American invented ceuloid. Scratch your
comb knife-handle and sniff at the scratch. Smell
the camphor? just guncotton dissolved in alcohol
and camphor. The japanese began to cut deeper in
to the sFormosa forests.
Then came the movies-celluoid films-thous-
ands of tons of more camphor needed. The native
Formosan savages got peevish and killed tree-chop-
pers who invaded their forest fastness. Japan sent
troops to drive the natives back, strung charged
electric wires to keep them back declared camphor
government monopoly-and boosted the price to
40 cents pound.
For hundred years scientists had been trying to
make camphor. In 1908 German produced it,
from oil of turpentine, and artificial camphor
put on the market. But with camphor at 40 cents
pound owners of scattered camphor groves set out

The small red spring radish and
the longer and later one are the
two best adapted to the back
yard. They can from the first
planting be sown at intervals of
from to 10 days to supply the
table through the summer. For
the later paintings select a cooler
spot in the garden.
The beet can follow some OF
the lighter crops and IL weeds
are kept down we'll while the
plant is young a good crop is as
sured, as this vegetable is one of
the hardest.
For carrots be sure the land
does not bake over the seed.
Carrots also, must be consciously
protected from weeds. Seeds of
early radish can be sown with
them.
Turnips are hardy and seeds
germanite quickly. The product
is large enough for table use
within six to ten weeks after
planting. Rutabagas differ but
slightly.
Parsnips take the full growing
season. Satisfy, which is used
for cooking purposes only, does
also. However, IL the young
plants of the latter are thinned
to or 5 inches apart a hardy
crop that may be left In the
ground during the winter will
result.

mainly for share and ornament-n Ceylon Italy,
Jamaica, Florida, Texas and California, began to
wonder if there wasn't some other and quicker way
to get camphor.
There was. A chemist Of the University Of Kan
sas found it, simultaneously with other chemists in
Ceylon. Both made the startling discovery that you
didn't have to cut down your camphor tree at all!
The dead leaves that fell from fve-year-old tree
yielded in seven years as much camphor as the
whole tree would if chopped down. A crop. every
year-and you could keep your tree
At one stroke the Japanese monopoly and the Ger
man factory went into the discard. Camphor plan
-tations are springng up in every warm climate,
yielding quick returns

BY PROF. SPADE

Root crops are especially pop
ular with the small gardener be-
cause no especial skill is required
to grow them. They are hardy
and require a cool season and a
deep soil and are sown in drills.
The principal root crops are
the radish. beet, carrot, turnip,
rutabaga, parsnip, satisfy and
horse-radish.
The value of the root depends
on its straightness and symmetry.
Thus, 1t is desirable that the
gardener spade deep and loosen
the soil more than on the mere
surface.

War Rids Missouri of Much In
ferior Stock. q

Missouri is getting rid Of its
poor mules and horses, according
to T. B. Blackburn of Fulton, and
at the same time the owners OF
those animals are seeing their
bank accounts swell to figures
that bring big smiles.
Mr.. Blackburn, who arrived in
Joplin yesterday to visit relatives
until today, when he leaves for
Heber Springs, Ark, owns 300
acres of farm land near Fulton,
and he also raises stock. At He
Der Springs he is interested in a
hotel.
"The European war;" said Mr..
Blackburn, lis taking the unde-
sirable mules out Of Missouri, Cal
laway county, of which Fult IN is
the sounty seat, raises thousands
! of horses and mules every year.
Since the war began in Europe the
allies have had ten agents there,
buying stock for shipment to the
front. 1t is figured that the life
of an animal in the cavalry ser
vice, after it reaches the fighting
zone, is from four to eight days.
In the artillery service it is from
three to eight days. So, you see,
it is great slaughter and thous-
ands Of horses and mules die ey-
cry day.
Good prices are paid for Call
away county stock that goes to
Europe. 1t is the poorer stock
that is purchased, 80 Missouri is
not losing its valuable horses and
mules as a result of war orders,
but, on the other hand, the infer
Tor kind are being disposed Of.
Better stock will ultimately result
throughout the state. Z
Mr.. Blackburn said he recently
purchased team Of young mules
at an auction sale for 400. s 4
will make 500 ON the deal, !" he
said, for it will take 1900 to est
them. S.
