| comforts for the lighting men and for
the noble women who are nursing the
wounded. In short, it must do every
thing possible to take some of the
curse out of war.
This work is already well under
way. Our Red Cross is helping all
the stricken people on great scale.
Our Red Cross must not fail down
on the job. You and / are RESPONSE
BILE for the success of the enterprise.
OF course we can't go over there, and
actually build houses and feed
the hungry and clothe the naked and
nurse the sick. But we can back up
the great machine already in the field
and at work.
What can we do-you and I?
Well, first Of all we must be men,
Ders of the Red Cross. At this writ
ing the organization needs millions
more of us on its muster rolls. We
compose the army at home support
ing the army in the field-both peace
full armies. At home here we form
chapters and circles that furnish cloth
ing and hospital supplies for soldiers
and civilians in Europe. We must
provide funds. We must show direct,
intimate, personal interest in what the
Red Cross field organization is doing.
We must knit and sew and save and
give.
Right now the Red Cross is cam
paigning for 100000 members. Eff
teen million members by Christ
mas Eve is the slogan. One years
membership costs one dollar. BY pay
ing an additional dollar the member
gets the Red Cross Magazine for a
year.
Every man, woman and child in this
community ought to be wearing a Red
Cross pin on Christmas Day. Every
father should make each of his chill
dren a Christmas gift of q Red Cross
membership = and explain to the
youngsters the meaning of the present.

Tale of a Gift
That Wasn't Given

~ IFT giving has marked the theat-
Ne rical profession in all times, and
it was interesting to hear on one
occasion an old actor tell with tears in
his eyes of the most beautiful Christ
mas present that he had ever received
"a wig that Edwin Forrest had worn
In "Othello" and that he gave to the
actor, then young, il token of his es-
TEEN, says player.
1t was most fearful scene, this old
man recalling this touching incident Of
the good old times, and we were all
leaving the table, burdened with the
picture and the memories that it eyok-
ed, when Stuart Rogson leaned over
and whispered:
you know Forrest never gave any
one anything, and he didn't wear a
wig in 'Othello.'"

is 1T ANYBODY'S BUSINESS?

Is it anybody's business
If gentleman should choose
To wait upon lady,
If the lady don't refuse,
Or to speak little palmer
That my meaning all may know,
Is it anybody's business
If a lady has beau?
Is it anybody's business
Where the gentleman does call,
Or when he leaves the lady
Or if he leaves at ALL
Or is it necessary
That the curtain should be drawn
To save from further trouble
The outsiders looking on?
is it anybody's business,
But the lady's. if her beau
Rides out with other ladies,
And doesn't let her know,
Is it anybodys business,
But the gentleman's if she
Should accept another escort
Where he doesn't chance to be?
If a person on the sidewalk
Whether great or whether small
Is it anybody's business
Where that person means to CALL
Or if you see person
AS he is calling anywhere
Is it any of your business
What his business may be there?
The substance Of my query
Simply stated. would be this,
Is it anybody's business
What an0ther's business is?
If it is or if it isn't
| would certainly like to know
For I'm certain if it isn't
There are some who make it so.

Some New
Year Customs
I ME sole record of the observance
of the New Year by the pilgrims

TIME sole record of the observance
i of the New Year by the pilgrims
in the new world, named New
England, was most prOsaic, most brief.
"We went to work betimes," said Alice
Morse Earle, the famous investigator
OF old-time American customs. Many
of the good Puritan ministers thought
the celebration or even notice of the
day in any way savored Of improper
and unchristian reverence for the
heathon god Janus. Yet they came
from land where New Year was Sec
ond in Importance and in domestic OBJ
servance only to Christmas. Through
out every English county New Years
eve was always celebrated. In many
it was called by the pretty name Of
Singing Fen, from the custom which
81 tanned of singing the last of the
Christmas carols at that time.
La Scotland the last day of the year
was called by the uglier name Of Hog
manay, a name of unknown and in
explicable derivation, and In Scotland
it was regarded as the most popular
of all the draft days." as the Christ
mas holidays were termed. Scotch
children of the poorer class in small
towns still ask on that day from door
to door at the house Of weather. fami
lies for dole of oat bread, calling out
"Hogmanay" Or some Of the local rimes
which are given in Chambers "Popu
lar Rimes Of Scotland" such as:
Hogmanay,
TrOliOlay.
Give us of your white bread
And none Of your gray!
They also ask for cheese, which they
call "nog money" and Brands "Popu-
lar Antiquities" gives this begging
rhine used by Scotch children:
Get up, guide wife, and binno sweir
Deal cakes and cheese while we are here.
For the time will come when ven be dead
And neither need your cheese nor bread.
AS the children on these f0rayS are
swathed in great sheets formed into a
deep bag or pouch to carry the oat-
cake, they form quite mumming and
fantastic appearance.

TURKEY RANCHING

Turkey ranching is a new in- dustry born of the decreasing production of turkeys on farms, according to an article in the recently published 1916 Year book of the United States De- partment of Agriculture.
 Exclusive turkey ranching is now found practically only in the unsettled foothill regions of California and in certain sec tions of Arizona and other Western States. In these re- gions a few persons are en- gagged in raising a thousand or more turkeys a season. The establishments are located where the range is unlimited and the natural food of the turkey, such as grasshoppers and other insects, green vege- tation, and the seeds of various weeds and grasses, is abundant. Advantage also is taken on these ranches of the turkeys relish for acorns, and where these are plentiful but little grain need be used for fatten- ing in the fall.
 The large flock of turkeys are managed much like herds of sheep, being taken out to the range early in the morning and brought home to roost at night. They are herded during the day by men either on foot or on horseback, and by dogs es- pecially trained for the work.

SORGHUM GROWING

Sown any time from April to the end of July, Club-head and Amber sorghums usually give a heavy yield of fodder. The saccharine sorghums also when planted in rows and cultivated, produce fair quality of syrup. Forage sorghums are quite cas- fly cured in this climate, but are often fed as they stand in the field. The season during which their seed will germinate begins during March and con- tinues until November. Seed does not germinate promptly and the young plants grow thriftily, however, until April of most years. Little is gained before the daily maximum tenn peratures begin to be 85 to 90 degrees and the minimum tenn peratures are over 45. They are uninjured by the warmest weather of summer, ordinarily their growth then. They are all killed when the falls below 30, this us-

WHAT A FEW HENS WILL

w. H. Seaver, IT,, a farmer near Webb, in Cochise county had last year about 225 white Leghorn hens, from which he secured 22,8O7 eggs. MT. Sea- yer kept close record of their performance. After all ex- penses, including labor charges had been deducted, a net prof it of about $1 per hen was shown. This he considers pos sible to excel this year, since last year he had several handi- caps to overcome, including lack of proper feed and high price of feed, and some disease in the flock.
 By keeping records and close study of the business and pro- ducing more feed of his own growing he will eliminate of these handicaps and consequently reap a larger gain. He considers about 300

DIARIES FOR FARM AC-
 COUNTS

A number of ways in which farmers may use diaries in keeping accounts of their farm business are suggested in a new Farmers bulletin, No. 782, pre- pared by the office of Farm Management, United States de- partment of Agriculture. Many successful farmers, it is said, have found that a diary is suf- ficient to enable them to keep track of their affairs without compelling them to devote an undue amount of time to elabo- rate accounts. There are two classes of records in which farmers are particularly inter ested: CD Receipts and ex- penditures; and CD the rec ords of work and production, such as the dates of planting and of harvesting, crop yields, livestock feed, etc. In many cases the diary has been found to be the most convenient means of keeping these rec ords. The new bulletin con- tains a number of blank forms and other information in re- gard to the use of the diary in this connection.
