81 remember the first lesson my
father gave me in guiding your work
by the moons phases. He took me
out and showed me the fence around
our farm, back in Pennsylvania. 1t
was a stake and rider fence. Those
sections which were built during the
light of the moon were shaky and
wobbly, and the action of the frost in
winter forced the posts out of the
ground. The sections built in the dark
of the moon, on the other hand, SEEM
ed more firmly inbedded than when
they first were put together. The
posts seemed to strike down into the
ground like plant going after water.
l have never forgotten that lesson.

seed or set out the plants in the light
of the moon and you'll have the best
results"

{, turned the boss loose, shed his shirt
as he went along so as to travel as
light as possible, and loped off across
the prairie. Jim said that when he
was boy he could outrun anything in
the human line there was in his coun-
try, but he said that all the travelling
he had ever done before was like the
movement of sore footed snail in
comparison to what he did that day.
Ahead of him there was a bunch of
coyotes that was also making for
of his road as they were hindering his
progress. A little further on he
caught up with couple of jackrabbits
which he said was making fair time,
but he looked back and saw that the
fire was still a-gaining some and when
he noticed that he passed both the
jackrabbits. In order that his pro-
gress might not be impeded Jim said
that he kicked off his pants and then
imbered up for the 10-mile run which
was still between him and the river.

scorn, says it is. But the heri
tors of the wisdom of the Penn
sylvania Dutch reply:
"The young men of the Department
of Agriculture do not know. Probably
they have never tried it for them
selves. Anyway, whether you plant il
the light or dark of the moon makes
all the difference in your crops
The ancient theory is this:
Everything which grows under the
ground, like potatoes, should be plant
ed in the dark of the moon.
Everything which grows above the
ground, say lettuce, for instance,
should be sown in the light of the
MOON
Scientists have been trying to break
down the belief in this theory of vege-
tation for these many years, but there
are plenty of people scattered through
the United States who hold to it tena-
ciously.
A certain noted business man
has grown gray in the promotion of
big projects and incidentally has ac-
cumulated competence for himself.
He has managed large corporations
which have gone into mining and in
dustrial centers of the West and made
fortunes for their stockholders. Long
before the efficiency engineer of the
modern business world was dreamed
of this man had the efficiency theories
in practice. He knew how "to cut cor
ners," his associates said, and they at
tributed the profits of their ventures
to the managers ability in every case.
This man believes in the old theory
of the moon affecting crops.
81 ran big alfalfa and corn ranch
out in Kansas in connection with an
other enterprise he said the other
day. "We were drilling for oil, and
where we could not get leases we
bought several quarter sections that
were needed to complete our field. 1t
seemed foolish to let this land, on
which there were only half dozen
oil wells, lie idle, so | decided to farm
it. The corn and alfalfa were by
product of our oil business, in other
words.
"There was no corn and no alfalfa
in that section of the state so good as
ours. OF course we farmed the land
properly. We practiced fall blowing
and deep blowing and we cultivated
the corn and kept it free of weeds.
But some of our neighbors, who had
just as good land, did the same thing
and failed to get the good crops we
did. The difference was planted ac-
cording to the moon theory and they
did not"
This mans parents were Pennsyl-
vania Dutch, and it was from his
father, before he came West, that he
learned not only how the growing of
crops, but other farm operations, were
affected by the moon.
Take the roofing of a house or
barn." he continued "You might not
think the moon has anything to do
with it, but it does.
eff you shingle roof in the light
of the moon the shingles curl up so
that high winds tear them off and your
roof is constant, if short lived,
source of worry to you.
"But single your roof in the dark
of the moon and the shingles will lie
fiat and shed water like a ducks
back and the wind never gets a chance
at them. | have seen roofs where one
side was shingled in the light of the
moon and then stormy weather has de-
layed the shingling of the other side

Even our lead pencil expenses have
increased. 1t is not that pencils cost
more, for to double the prices would
be to cut the sales half in two. 1t is
because the pencil makers figured out
scheme for making two pencils per-
ish where only one had persisted be-
fore. They invented little dingus
for sharpening Fabers. The invention
became very popular as they had
planned. You find one in every store
or office into which you wander. To
save your life you can't resist the inn
pulse to yank out your pencil, shove it
into the slot ana turn the crank until
long, sharp point rewards your eff
forts. This point breaks off right
away and you renew it at the next
stop. Even though it remains intact,
you sharpen your pencil anyway every
time you encounter the aforesaid uten-
sill and the first thing you know you
are in the market for new pencil. |
Some class to that scheme, now isn't
there? If we could invent something
just as clever to make two or more
orders for printed stationery flourish
where we get only one at present or
to make two delinquents come to time
where one tries to postpone payment,
we would be more liberal than the
pencil makers. We'd give the thing
away instead of selling it.

said he saw that there was only one
thing to do, and that was to strike
for the river. He unhitched the team,
mounted the best runner of the two
and lit out, letting the other come
along as best it could. At the end OF
five miles he looked back and saw that
fire was taking two jumps to his
horses one and that it wasn't more
than two miles behind him, and acting
as if it was just splitting on its hands
for a fresh start. He said that he
knew then that it wasn't no use to de-
pend on that boss. So he jumped off,

Most of the families in this city
will have backyard gardens this sea-
son; and in many of them toad or
two will make their homes and come
out in the twilight to sit and blink in
the path or along the sidewalk. You
may think he is idling there, but if
you watch him you will see him give
a quick jump every little while. When
ever he does that he snaps down a
mosquito or bug that is aiming to
deposit a few hundred eggs on the
under side of a vegetable leaf that
will later hatch out into grubs enough
to devour whole garden if unmolest-
ed. A toad is a valuable fellow in
garden; and the man is lucky who has
one, even if it is the cause of warts.
He will devour more plant pests IN one
night than an average man could ma
and destroy in day. So, if you have
toad, treat him kindly and keep him.

With the right kind of colored glass
es almost any political discovery is
possible-such as the wonderful land
slide for Roosevelt in the last few
weeks. Only it is not borne out by
such specific facts as the Michigan
primaries or by the Nebraska pri-
maries. The significant things are
two: the predominating sentiment for
Hughes, and the remarkable vote for
Henry Ford.
