One reason why there is much money in the United States just now is indicated by 8 little item to the effect that Greece has s5OOOOOO cash deposited in New York banks
 That money isn't there to buy supplies with. It's
 salted down. Greece finds herself in precarious pO- sition, with mighty powers fighting all around her and camping in her back yard, and imminent prospect Of
 combat raging over her prosrate form And so Greece isn't taking any chances with her loose change. She sending the safest place in the world - the United States.
 Several other neutral countries said to be doing same thing although little is of the size Of their deposits And many private interests all Ec rope likewise taking advantage of the security offered by American banks and business enterprises.
 If European business firms have money owed them in America and don't need it immediately. they would rather deposit than collect it. with the prospect having it conscated indem mites What little gold into their possession-and there isn't much gold floating in Europe any they are disposed America for the son. such accumuations added great foreign trade balance, keep money supply steadily pilng with little effort on our part We couldn't keep gold out of the country if tried.

 Several cases have come into public notice recently Au tomobsts their lives by letting their engines in closed garages, until the air vitiated The burnt air and gasoline fumes may be actively poison but they death when breahed for any length of time, just do the fumes from in a tightly closed Every person who uses any form of gas engine should recognize this danger
 Most gasoline accidents of different caused by explosions Gasoline liquid will not explode Even gasoline engine is the utilization of this explosive power gerous when combined with air The principle Of the gaoslne engine is the utilization Of this explosive p.wer Of mixed air and gasoline vapor Gasoline evaporate rapidly, very small amount goes long way The Journal Medical Association explains thai gallon eyaporated gasoline may render 21OO cubic feet of air explosive An explosion may result from the absofpon only part of gasoline vapor to 70 parts parts of air And such explosion besides blowing up everything in its vicinity may open gasoline recep- tace aame and starts disastrous fire All that is need ed is lighted match gas flame or a spark to set of the mixture.
 Many res are started too, by people cleaning gloves other articles with gasoline They rub the soied ar tce and the friction heats the gasoline until takes fire Such cleaning should be done cautiously in the open air

A TOUCH
By Tom Carter.

Bertha has little brother
Whom she'd dearly love to smother;
He is such an awful CRATER,
Money he is always after
Wretched kid!
When he catches Bertha kissing,
He shows up from 'mong the missing,
In the very nick Of time
To demand silver dime
That's his bid.
One night Bertha and her lover
Thought the wretch had gone to cover,
Out he popped and Kissed, "I'll holler
If you don't make this dollar
And they did.

or wet Seasons like 1915 and 1916
will be classed as wet seasons and by
the character of the June weather in
each year one could pretty safely fore
cast poor alfalfa seed crop. In such
case the crop should be cut for hay
and no attempt made to secure seed.
If conditions seem favorable for seed
production and then at time of full
Towering very heavy rains come on,
causing many of the flowers to fall
and starting a second growth, then
generally the crop should be cut for
hay even though it is more advanced
than it should be for the best hay re-
suits. L. R. W., N. D. Exp. Sta.

Second Crop Of Alfalfa for Seed

Generally speaking, the second
growth Of alfalfa is to be preferred
for seed production In certain sea-
sons it might be that the first crop
will produce larger amount Of seed,
but the additional value Of the first
growth for hay will quite likely more
than offset the possible increased
amount Of seed secured from the first
growth.
Inasmuch as the amount of the seed
depends upon the amount Of the sea-
sons moisture, it is not always pos
sible to forecast a profitable or I'M
profitable seed crop. Very commonly
