garding loans on cotton, ware

largey fostered by the Confer
ence.

TOMATO SEED FOR
1916 SEASON HERE
Newark Canning Co., now has
seed for The Planting of
1916 Crop---Tomato Culture

We are now ready to furnish
tomato seed of the kind that
we wish to contract for. Don't
fail to get our seed and SOW
your bed in order to get an ear
ly start. Now is the time to be-
gin and get a good crop of tom
atoes off before the dry season
comes on.
How to Construct Warm Beds
These beds should be made
512 feet wide and as long as
one may desire. Use lumber II
inches wild and make the COW
er out of muslin. Drive a stake
about 20 inches in height at the
middle point of each end. Then
draw a wire from the sides
across the end and another
wire through the middle. This
will make vour roof like that
of a house. You can now put
the wires across at a distance of
every eight feet in the same
manner. Thio will hold the COW
er up we'll.
Fasten one side firmly and
secure the "ther side by means
of loops. This device will be
very useful when you wish to
give the plants sunlight. Let
these beds stand three days be-
fore sowing the seed. The beds
should be made as follows:
Excavate either the south or
east end of the bed ~ inch
lower than the other end. This
will allow for drainage. Use 4
inches of fresh stable manur,
and pack it solidly. Then cover
it with 3 inches of good rich
soil. Top dress the bed with 1
inch of very rich soil and work
this we'll into the top of the 9TH
er soil, using a small garden
-s~ls~- cs,ta,. +ha bOd and let it
stand for three or four DAYS.
Then work the soil again. In
sowing the "eed, SOW it l inch
deep, using four seeds to the
inch and putting the rows 6 in
ches apart. BY means of board
press the seed solidly into the
soil. This wi produce even ger
limitation.
In working the plants, use a
little tool made after this fash
ion. Take stick and drivefour
eight penn nails into the end.
This you will find to be the best
tool you can secure forworkinq
the plants.
taking plants out of the bed
never pull them, but first loosen
the soil so that you canliftthem
out, breakine no roots. and with
some of the soil still clinging to
the plant. In case we should
have any lid weather, your
plants will probably need more
protection fran the muslin COW
er. A lantern is not to be used
on account Of the dangerof fire
or smoke. A thin covering of
straw placed over the muslin is
the best protection you can OBJ
tain. The plants should have
plenty of air after they reach
a height of six inches. If YOU
wish to rush them you can do
it by watering them evey dav
and by kea ing them covered
The plant should be eight in
ches tall before you take it out
of the bed 10 set in the field |

She Collects Indian Stories.

In order to learn their fairy tales
Miss Mabel Powers. a writer Of East
Aurora, N. Y, went among the Iro-
quois Indians in 1910 and became to
these Indians on the reservation The
Story Teller" Many evenings she
spent telling stories to make these
people her friends. She found that
the old people really believed firmly
In fairies OF the little people" Ac-
cording to Miss Powers these native
American fairies are delightful, espe
cially the little farmer fairies. In all
Miss Powers has get together 33 fairy
tales from the American Indians. Each
one of the stories from the Iroquois
has fine ethical teaching. Recently
Miss Powers told some of these Indian
fairy tales to several hundred pale

Ereexe. Only In Summer.

At Coudersport, Pa. is the strangest
mine in the world. 1t is an ice mine.
which freezes in summer and thaws
in winter. Charles Arthur Wander
muelen says. in the Scientific Amer.
lean, that it is a pit 40 feet deep
and from 10 to IL feet in diameter,
up which pours a peculiar cold mist
which comes from openings found all
the way from the top to the bottom.
AS soon as warm weather arrives frost
appears on the walls Of the shaft. and
soon tiny icicles form rapidly, until
in the warmest weather huge icicles,
often two feet thick. reach from the
top to the bottom Of the mine. Ge-
ologists can offer no explanation.
The owner built shed over the mine
but had to tear it down because as
soon as the suns rays we're cut off the
ice melted. Its normal thaw sets in

Thouuht Irvina Couldn't Act.

Edwin Booth told one story OF Irving
that revealed a tragedy in that gifted
mans life. Edwin NJ. ROyle writes i'll
Harper's Magazine. One day. as they
were sitting in Booths room in the
theater, the latter WAS handed letter.
Irving casually remarked that he rec
Ognized the Handwriting. Booth offered
II to him and asked him if he cared
to read it. Fortunately the English
man declined. Mr.. Booth opened 1t
and read the following from Mrs. Hen
ry Irving: Dear Mr.. BOOtl.-Can you
spare me box? ] should like to have
my sons see what good acting is" Dur
ing my first season with Booth, quite
by accident found myself in board
ing house in San Francisco kept by q
very sweet, quaint old English lady
who was an aunt of Henry Irving
and she told me that Mrs. Irving had
been known to occupy box at her
husbands performances and ostenta-
tiously read a newspaper during the
performance.

Why Give II AwayT

1t is apparent that Kipling was never
overexalted by the popular craze over
him, or that he took it too seriously. A
story has been related to the point by
Brander Matthews: Once when was
chatting with Rudyard kipling about
the principles of literary art, l chanced
to tell him that had pointed out to a
class of college students the various
masters of story telling on whose foot
steps he had trod. and by whose exam
pies he had obviously profited. He
smiled pleasantly and drawled out:
Why give 1t away? Why not let them
