 PLANTING HOME GARDENS.

This plant too, does away with tho necessity of thinning out the rowA Plant the seeds half an inch deep wherever you want plants to como up-plants every to inches are at the correct intervals-and do not thin out. one ounce of seed will plant 100 feet of row. s
 As for parsnips the soil should bS deeply broken up so the main roots will not split or branch. The plant puts out numerous side roots so that when 1t attains any size 1t becomes firmly fixed in the ground.
 Harvest the roots by trenchinr on both sides of the row and pulling out the plants by their tops Where the ground freezes so hard that digrinr is impossible in winter tho roots should DC put pit and covered with soil. Roots lSft to grow the second season are apt to become w1eda

''I thoroughly respect your feelings about using any of Dicky's money for your own expenses, but you are not living in the Marvin house. It Is simply Dicky's home. which. as his friend commissioned to see after his affairs, am going to keep in readiness for his return, un- less I receive other instructions from hinn.

"IOAN THE WOMAN"
 ATLYCEUM TONIGHT

The principal achievement of Cecil B. DeMjlle as motion picture pro ducer and director is Joan the Wom- an," a massive e1even-reel spectacle photoplay, in which Geraldine Farrar appears as Joan of Arc. It is found- ed on the story of the immortal Maid of Orleans, and at this moment is the most talked about and widely dis cussed amusement and artistic enter tainment in the land. Joan tho Woman" has raised the whole stand ard of motion picture producing. It has taken the sting of childishness from a great art and clothed it with responsibility and power. And back of it all stands the genius of one man. who has learned to use the working tools of motion pictures with uncanny effectiveness. There is only one other photodrama in existence that may equal 1t for perfection. In arrange ment and artistic beauty 1t stands alone The men who cut this film and fitted it to its various scenes is an artist. The credit for this, as we'll as for the wonderful direction, must be given to Cecil B. DeMille. who ranks among the greatest of our pro- ducers and who, by this picture, has proved my contention to be correct. { The average director finds 1t dif1- cult to stage even an ordinary battle scene correctly. These battle scenes are anything but ordinary The least slip or mistake could easily have changed their atmosphere into one of comedy instead of dramatic. The bow and arrow soldiers are so far back in the distant past that in these days of sixteen-inch guns 1t is hard to grasp the fact that their winged shafts were as deadly and almost as accu- rate as bullets. The heavy and un- wieldly swords would seem sadly out of date were 1t, not for the fact that the excellent direction of this picture brings forth their real deadliness in true form.
 The character portrayals are won- derfully carried out. It Is by far the greatest piece of acting that Geraldine Farrar has ever done upon the screen. No one could have filled the place in photo drama of Joan of Arc as this wonderful actress has done. Her every motion is displayed with star tling vividness, and her self-sacrificing spirit is shown through it all. Tn costume as well as manner she lives up to all ideals built around the his- torical character. In her love scenes she Is sublime. Where ske abandons love to duty, she shows without over doing the part just how greatly she is torn by conflicting emotions. And when she dies in the fire one can al- most hear the cracking of the fagota as the names leap up about her.

SIDE TALKS
That's Entirely Different
BY RUTH CAMERON

That subject that is always so close to the surface nowadays,- cruel rise in the price of the necessities of life e-came up the other day.
 We spoke of that atrocious abom- inable practise, the destruction of food in order to keep the prices up. It is almost unbelievable to me that anyone would do that. If the stor- ies are true they make my blood boil and my heart sache. | realize fully that ono must go lightly in laws re- lating to economic conditions, but it does seem to me that it must bc possible to frame some law that will prevent the destruction of food while so many go hungry. If the owner does not want to harvest 1t he should be made to turn 1t over to others.
 She Blamed the Millmian But
 However that is not what I started to talk about. Tn the course of our conversation woman complained bitterly that milk. "a thing babies have to have, too'' had gone up an-> other cent.
 she is sl woman who keeps hens, and had just been telling us that the price of grain had gone up. nhen- tioned this fact to her and asked If that did not justify her milkman.
 She reddened and bridled. ."You don't understand. You never kept hens'. she said. Eggs are entirely differ ent!"
 Even As You and I.
 She was right. never kept hons and don't understand much about the matter. But do know this that anything which touches our self interest is entirely different.
 In my acquaintance is certain fine young man who is open hearted,

sympathetic, generous to fault. He has many progressive ideas about sov- ernmental functions and yet the min. ute the government reached out q hand toward his business Y
 That was entirely different.
 It was a great disappointment to me the first time I discovered how totally different he could be when self interest was touched. Realt.e Now That Expected Too
 Much. a But that was long ago. I realize now that it Is only those who have climbed tp the very pinnacle of the finest kind of altruism who ere able to sec things with, even approximate justice when their town interests are concerned.
 Even wllsn ono has climbed to that height. the clouds of human weak ness and selfishnoss sometimes gather and obscure our vision. 6
 Out of these conditions grow Graft and privilege and all the strength of ancient wrongs and injustices.
 Your case and my case always arc entirely different" and always win be until we really learn tho treat lesson ITO love thy neighbor as thy self and its great oorollarv ''to guard his interests as thine own".

sAEsIF'Y.

f 8AESIFY. / Like parsnips. salsify. or vegetable oyster as the root Is more commonly called, is improved by freezing, and the roots may be left in the garden all winter. It Is an all-season crop which cannot be. followed in the bed by any second crop, says today's bull letin from the National Emergency Food Garden Commission of Wash ington. which is cooperating with this paper in urging the planting of home gardens this year.
 Salsify also Is like parsnip in that it is not adversely affected by hot weather. or even drought, although It's growth is checked at such times. It grows slowly throughout the entire season. and is ready for use late in the fall. From then on until spring It furnishes a steady supply of food. It is a root which deserves wider planting. because most tastes are fond Of the oyster-like flavor of this veg etabie.
 The seeds are large, Ions and hard.

Why Madge Sadly Said 'Never My

Why 1fadge Sadly saiC 'Never My
 Home Again. Fear, Lillian"
 The weeks immediately following Dicky's departure are almost blank to mo. seemed stunned, incapable Of action, even of thinking clearly. His abrupt departure. his inexplicable letter to Lillian Underwood saying that he should never see me again, and that he would put in no defense if I sued him for divorce, was in its effect upon my brain and will power almost like a paralytic stroke.
 If 1t had not been for Lillian. do not know what should have done. she cared for me with infinite tender ness and understanding, she stood be- tween me and the imperative curiosity and bewilderment of my mother-in- law, and, she made all the arrange ments necessary for my taking up my .life au . thing apart from my hus- band.
 | It seemed almost like an inter position of Providence that two days after Dtcky's bombshell his mother received Q letter from her daughter Elizabeth asking her to go to Florida for the rest of the winter. One of the children had been ordered South by the family physician, and Dicky's sister was to accompany her little daughter, while the other children remained at home under the care of their father and his mother. Mother Graham dearly loves to travel, and I know from Lillian's reports and the few giimpses had of my mother-in- law that she was delighted with the prospect before her.
 { How Lillian managed to quiet the elder wofnan's natural worry about Dicky. her lf-formed suspicion that something was wrong. and her con- viction that without her to look after me should not be able to get through the winter, never knew.
 I do not remember seeing my. mothef-in law but once or twice in the interval between the receipt of Dicky's letter and her own departure. The of her goodbye to me, how ever, is very distinct.

Her face was pale, and I noticed listlessly that her eyelids were reddened as if she had been weeping. She bent and kissed me tenderly. and then she put her arms around me and held me tightly. 'I don't know what it Is all about, dear child,", she said. T hope all is as 1t seems outwardly. But remember Margaret, am your friend whatever happens and if it will help you any you may remember that I, too, have had to walk this same sharp paved way" Then she went away. remem- bered that she had said something of the kind once before. giving me to un- derstand that Dicky's father had caused her much unhappiness. Did she believe, too, I wondered, that Dicky was with Grace Draper, that his brief infatuation for the girl had returned when he had seen her again
 For days after that driftedAthere was no other word for it-through the hours of each day. When it was ab- solute1y necessary for Lillian to know some detail, which alone. could give her, she would come to me, rouse me, and. holding me to the subject by the sheer force of her will, obtain the in- forTnation she wished, and then leave mel to myself or rather to Katie again. Katie was my devoted slave. She waited on me hand and foot, and made most admirable nurse when Lillian was compelled to be absent.
 '"T1lcn-You-Know-
 When thought about the matter at all, realized that Lillian was pre- pairing to have me share her apart ment in the city when, I should be strong enough to leave my home. Harry Underwood had gone with my father to South America for a trip which would take many months, so I made no protest. knew also, be- cause of questions she had made mo answer, that she had arranged with the Lotus Study club to have an old teaching comrade of mine-a man who had experience in club lectures- take my place until should be we'll enough to go back to the work.
 In SO far as I could feel anything, the knowledge that I was still to have my club work gratified me. The $20 a week which 1t paid me-. while not large, would preserve my indepen- dence until could gain courage to go back to my teaching. /For one feeling obsessed me, was strong enough to penetrate the le- thargy of mind and body into which Dicky's letter had thrown me.

A new idea in neckwear is to have the edges of the collars and cuffs bound with a ibright-color checked material,
 Collars are of rose color, ivory and blue rather than white, and are fre- auently more becoming than lingerie collars.
 Close fitting bodices cut square at the neck with a pleated and paneled skirt of chiffon give very pleasant Dutch effect. 59ss
