SWEET CORN.

Sweet corn should be planted at sew
eral different dates from about May 10
to June /. In this way sweet corn for
table use will be supplied over a longer
period of time than if only one planting
is made. The main planting should be
made during the latter part of May.
The. best variety to grow is Golden
Bantam. because of its excellent quail
ity. A variety which is a little earlier
but not nearly as good in quality is
the White Mexican. The Golden Rod
and Golden Cream are two yellow
varieties of high quality with large
ears. They are about a week to ten
days later than Golden Bantam, and
will do quite we'll except in the north
ern part of the state. where the sea-
son may be too short some years.
The early varieties can be planted
in rows as close as feet apart while
the rows of the later varieties should
be at least 3 feet apart. The plants
should be about 10 to IL inches apart
in the row or in hills of 8 or 4 plants
as far apart as the rows are apart.
Each family should plan to produce
at least 500 ears of good sweet corn
for use as fresh corn and for canning
One-half pint of seed will be sufficient
for 100 hills.-North Dakota Expert
ment Station.

YOUNG Men for war.

Boston Transcript: In fixing the min
imum age, at FL, congress has cut on
the three best military and training
years from the young mans life, ana
tower of strength, of zeal, of intrepid
ity 1t is said that the fixing of this
age reflects the influence of the woman
voter in our congressional 1t Is the
tenderness of mothers for their boys,
and their trepidation at the thought OF
possibly sacrificing them before they
are men grown, that has LED to TINS
restriction. Perhaps this Is true. But
1t does not take much thought to per-
ceive that such consideration is but
an exercise of shallow sentiment.
The young soldier is first. of all the
property of the nation, and not of his
parents. Whatever personal or general
risk of sacrifice exists in his case is
the same at 81 as at 1S or 19, and at
of training, of development, of glori-
ously enkindled enthusiasm of service
to country, at period when the mind
and body are wax to receive and mar
BILE to retain, is lost. The minimum
age limit of the universal service bin
is distinctly a mistake.
At the other end of the line 1t is pos
sible that the same feminine sentiment
most subject to this influence, wanted
to fix the maximum age limit at 40.
Speaker Clark, the least sensible man
in the house, said in speech that his
idea would be to fix the age at so. That
indicated the extent of his hostility to
the whole idea of universal service.
The house stood out long and foolishly
for 40, but had to yield at last. The
31st birthday finally agreed upon, is
quite high enough for this service.
We are not after landsturm, but
after legion of the most effective,
most readily disciplinable young men
of the country. Old men for counsel
young men for war. We shall no doubt
do well enough with the 30-year-olds.
Too bad that we cannot have that
splendid phalanx Of American manhood
OF the ages of 10 and 20.

Girls! Use Lemons!
Make a Bleaching,
Beautifying Cream

The juice OF two fresh lemons
strained into a bottle containing three
ounces OF orchard white makes a
whole quarter pint of the most re-
markable lemon skin beautifier at
about the cost one must pay for a
small jar OF the ordinary cold creams.
Care should be taken to strain the
lemon juice through a fine cloth so no
lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion
will keep fresh for months. Every
woman knows that lemon juice is used
to bleach and remove such hlemishes
as freckles, sallowness and tan and is
the ideal skin softener, smoothener
and beautifar.
Just try it! Get three ounces OF
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and
make up a quarter pint OF this sweetly
fragrant lemon lotion and massage II
daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands. It naturally should help to
soften, freshen, bleach and bring out
the roses and beauty of any skim 1t
is simply marvellous to smoother
rough, red hands.

THE MlppLEsEx REGIMENT.

London Sporting Times: 1t was in a
little out Of the way village in France,
and the Highland regiment was swing
ing along the road. Two old French
men, obviously puzzled by their cos
tune, were having a heated argument
on the same.
Said one: icy cannot be men, for
look at re dress and re skirts"
Replied the other: 'Zey cannot be
women, for zey have re moustachios."
"Ah!" replied the first speaker, II
have it. Zey are re famous Middlesex
regiment Of whom I have heard so
mooch!"

cornmeaI muah In memory, once more,
we stand by our mothers side In front
of the Kitchen stove and watch her
stirring q kettle OF cornmeai musha
with a wooden ladIe. We see those
bubbles rise and burst again--a mys-
terry profound as life itself to childish
minds. We snuff that fragrant odor,
sweet as new mown hay. And, finally.
we devour the trimming bowl Of mush
and milk, our little stomachs full 10
bursting. No, not finally, for in the
morning our breakfast table IL made it's
ultimate temperance. TRANSMITTED,
tFanssubstantiated, having suffered "a
sea change into something new and
strange" and wonderful.
Heap high the farmers wintry hoard:
Heap high the golden corn.
No richer gift hath autumn poured
From out her lavish horn.
Be sure TO plant enough and soon
enough. Now IL the accepted time"

SISTERS had LONG
FEARED POISON
Mystery in the Death Of Woman
Ostecpathic Physician at Sanh
Antonio.
(Bv Associated Press. !

yesterday in the investigation to de-
termine the causes leading UP to the
death of DR.. Sarah Francis Herdman,
81, osteopathic physician whose body
was found at her home here Tuesday
morning, lent belief that DR.. Herdman
and her two sisters, Mrs. Margaret
Allen Of Brooklyn, N. z, who also is
an osteopathic physician and Miss
Alice Herdman of San Antonio, but
also formerly Of Brooklyn. long shared
a mutual fear that poison was being
administered to the two sisters in San
Antonio.
The nature of the poison or who
administered 1t, if the fear Of the sis
tiers was justified, remains mystery.
Mrs. Allen and Miss Herdman today
were in custody of an alienist for
observation.

mo water patron pays for more wa

Watkins said this morning, and IL
anything, they pay for less. When a
water meter goes wrong. II always
registers too little. and then the city
is the loser.
Investigations in the majority Of
cases where patrons complain that
they are paying for more water than
they are using, discloses the fact that
there is a wastage of water that can
easily be prevented"

There are very few good male quar-
tets as in the days OF yore. The quartet
today is composed OF q nasal tenor, a
raspy second tenor, a metallic reed
baritone slightly warped, and a weak,
bashful bass. The bass does the least
damage. When the baritone does a
solo with the first tenor obligato,
there is generally difference of opin-
ion as regards the tempo and the har-
mony, that lis akin to assault and
mayhem. And when the tenors tangle
up in intervals of second and sevenths,
the result is arson. manslaughter and
treason.
But the time quartet, when /
was a boy, that sang the same old
airs. whether at weddings or funerals
or barbecues, it was not thus. Billy

hear them still. Not one of that cheer
full and very human quartet, so full of
laughter, song and practical joking
are left. All, all are gone. You should
have heard the soul that Squire Haw-
kins threw into Which is the Proper
est Time to Drink, Saturday, Sunday
or Monday" The Temperance society
did not like it very well, though some
Of them laughed. But when it came
to singing at a wedding, there was no
laughter then. All the members Of the
quartet knew it was the death knell
of the poor bridegroom's soul and feel
ing was put into every note.
No. indeed, the good fashioned
quartet we used to be so proud OF, is
a sweet memory of years gone by.
