HAVE YOU READ THIS B0Ok7
As Described by High School Boy u
Should Be Worth Spending
Some Time On.

Submitted by a second-year high
school boy:
Robinson Carusoe.-This book was
chosen by Depoe. man Of many
qualities and professor at FOrdham
university. II was edited by CHM
X Co, containing 149 pages, costing
G5 cents.
Professor Depoe's selections are very
interesting. He knows where Carusoe
left his wife and went up to To-
summit Of a high mountain with his
gun In hand, accompanied by a dog
While he was there for a short time
darkness cnme upon him and he felt
drowsy, so he put his gun at his side
and fell asleep. Here he slept for
number Of years and when he awoke
he found that he had grown old and
his gun was rusty. Moreover, there
were men playing tenpins and dining
on the mountain. This he, too, soon
partook Of. Finally he thought OF
home, and he began to descend the
mountain. He now found himself in
city. After searching for his home
he was made known to his wife. and
they lived happily ever after.

style and should be In every home."-

STORY TELLERS OF JAPAN
Profession is an Old One, and Its
Members Are Looked Up To BY
All Glasses Of the People.

Quantity recalling the day Of the
wandering minstrel In other lands the
professional story teller of Japan oc-
cupies a unique niche in the life Of
his country, and he has character
and an art all his own. 1t is curl
Gus fact that one Of the most accom-
plished story tellers In Tokyo is an
Engllshman who has lived In Japan
all his life and speaks the language
like a native. What are called the
yose halls Of Japan are probably rel
les Of the oldest known form of pub
lie entertainment. Perhaps the stroll
Ing minstrel who recited or chanted
tales of the heroes was older, for in
Japan he developed into the yose halls
with their hanaskika. From remot-
est times great people In Japan had
their clowns and story tellers, just as
did Europeans; and in time the cities
had their regular places where an au-
dlence might go to hear some national
epic, ballad or comic story told.
In rural Japan there are today still
strolling story tellers who chant their
tales to a roadside audience. These
stories were OF great variety, but they
may be divided into rakugo. or humor-
GUS stories, and kodan, or heroic tales.
The manner in which these are relat-
ed differs widely also; some story
tellers speak in loud and solemn
voices. while others behave much like
clowns. acting out the details OF what
they are telling. Those which resem-
BILE ballads are chhnted to the accom-
paniment of the samisen, a primitive
instrument. These song stories are
not all very old; some are based upon
modern events Of interest. Often the
entertainment is relieved by the per-
sormance OF group OF marionettes
or by a juggling feat or two.

GROWING SUGAR-BEE1 SEED
Outbreak Of European War Has Cut
OF supply From Germany-Farm-
er Must Find New Source.

The greater part OF the sugar-beet
seed sown each year in the United
States has formerly been imported
from Europe. principally from Ger
many and Russia. The outbreak OF
the present war has cut OF this SUP
ply ana now the problem is to lind
new sources for obtaining seed. The
growing OF beet seed has been neg
lected in this country due to a de
creasing sugar content in beets from
native grown seed and also to the
scarcity OF the hand labor necessary
in harvesting the crop. But now It is
up to the American farmer to grow
his own seed.
Although most of the factories have
sufficient seed on hand for the
1916 sowing, yet a considerable acre
age has been set to seed beets. The
beets are set out early in spring in
rows four feet apart. the crown Of
tho beet being just level with the sur
face of the ground.
First a large thick cluster of leaves
grows up to about IS inches in height
and then the seed stalks appear

The beets are cultivated both ways

vent cultivation. When viewed near

MARRIAGE NOT THE WAY OUT

One Of the most serious obstacles

The exaggerated expectations of
girls as to the Improvement Of their
lot when married in the matter of
work is something wonderful. Society
helps to accentuate this belief by
society frowning on woman workers
and insisting that they go to house

Now q woman in ''the lower walks

a woman who is one of family with
an Income less than Will support all

With married life on u small income
the necessity Of work is more pressing
than when single. For married life
presupposes more than one stomach TO

due time, ordinarily, there will be
three, four or five mouths to be feO

women know little about work until
they are married.
So married life Is not an escape
