How to Blanch Celery

From Fare and Fireside.
 When the plan of banking with sofi Is used for blanchins celery, the rows must be so wide apart as to waste much valuable land in small garden areas. But by using paper sold in rolls for the purpose. and which is treated to make it tough and moisture proof, much garden space and time may be saved.
 Celery set with tho intention of using paper for blanching need be only far enough between rows to allow con- venient cultivation with wheel hoe, and two rows can be set not over six or eight inches apart, with spaces IS to IS inches on each side of the dou- ble rows. When ready for b1anct ing, the paper can be quickly stretched each side of the double rows. ThA roll Is unwound along one side and back the opposite side of the double rows, thus requiring no cutting of tic roll. While on person stretches theg paper and holds 1t in place. another thrusts the long wire staples, made like mar row croquet arches, over trie double rows to hold the paper snu4gly up fin place.

Why Leather Is High
And Still Higher Prices Almost a Certainty.

And Still Higher Prices Almost Certainty
Should America become involved in war-and it
is almost certanty-the immense amount Of
leather required to equip its armies will be
strain upon the leather supply and leather will 20
up like a skyrocket. IF by some miracle America
is kept from hostities she still must prepare for
every emergency and new leather goods will be
needed in unbounded quantity. Therefore, a rea-
sonablc mind will see that the price all leather
goods and especially Shoes will continue to advance
for months to come
1t takes four times as many shoes for soldier
doing duty in the trenches it does in times of
peace There twenty million in the
trenches and the number is growing. Think Of it
-four times much leather required as it does in
peace Not only for shoes, but for thousand other
things is leather being used in the great European
armies and the need is growing daily. Hence the
continued high price of leather is certain The
market cannot drop for at least one year.
During our Great Mill End Sale you can buy Shoes
and Oxfords from cheaper than old prices.
Our shoe stock is complete with more than $500
worth of staple shoes bought before the last advance
