Have you ever felt the chagrin OF
knowing that you have failed In an en-

Thousands OF men have failed In just
that way. writes Hugo Masters In Ply

Seif-confidence Is factor In success
of such Importance that the man with

The Eskimos. who 1--we In the lee

of settling quarrels which seems. very
strange and amusing to those who live
In land of policemen and courts of
Justice. There. when uuarrels arise.
the man who has n grievance writes n
song In which he tells the wrongs that
have been done him. When this has
been composed TO his satisfaction. he
invites his enemy TO come and hear
him sing IT. This the enemy must do.
and he brings with him all his rela-
tlves and many Of his friends. while
tho singer also has gathered his friends
and relatives for the occasion, which
Is considered something OF a general
entertainment by the people OF the VII
lage In which the men live.
Then. while other men Of the village
pound madly on huge drums. the song

1t is a hot weather plant. there
fore it should not be grown where
the summer season is short. Nor
should il be attempted in poor soil
nor by anyone who is not willing
to give it plenty of attention. 1t re-
quires one or more transplantings.
and if its growth suffers any check
the crop is likely TO be a failure.
Inasmuch as il il not safe 10 set
out eggplant in the garden much
before the middle of June, and be-
cause the plant requires long
growing season. the seeds should
be sOwn indoors, or in an outdoor
hotbed One-third of an ounce of
seed will produce enough plants TO
make a row 100 feet long. These
seeds are usually sown thickly in
rows in the seed boxes and when the
plants are large enough TO handle
they are transplanted to flower pots
filed with rich soil. Some gardeners
however. preferred 10 sow the seed
directly in flower pots and 70 thin
out the seedlings later.
Unless the seeding are trans
planted TO large pots directly from
the seed box. as the plants grow
they should be set in larger pots
Some gardeners make three trans
fers before putting the plants into
the garden. which should not be
done until warm weather is settled
and the plants are to 10 inches
high. Great care should be used MOI
10 disturb the roots in any trans
planting Injury can be avoided by
using old berry boxes instead OF
flower pots for growing the seed
lings. the bottom OF the boxes being
torn OF and then the rest Of the
box set into the garden with the
plant
Plants should set IS inches apart
and the. fruits may be eaten when
they are three inches or more in

A recent investigation has shown
cOnclusively that under the pres
ent conditions hundreds Of cars Of
foodstuffs are frequently sidetrack-
ed in the yards for five to seven days
before they can be unloaded. As "A
result the food has deteriorated
greatly; the producer gets low
price. the middleman charges a high
one. the public growls savagely, and
each blames the trouble on the
other two
1t has been proved by actual
count that 20 different grocery wag-
ons called for orders in one morn
ing in a single New York city block
and called again in the afternoon
to make deliveries. This is a fair
sample Of the overlapping which
takes place all along the line. Natur-
ally, here is a tremendous wastage.
for which the public eventually pays.
In fact. it has been proved that it
costs more TO deliver one pound of
food from the New York terminals
TO its city consumer than il does
to ship that pound from Buffalo TO
the New York terminals.
The only remedy for the situation
is intelligent CO. cooperation by all con-
cerned, with plenty of publicity.
Then there would be no chance for

Will go down. profits will go up, and
the public will eat. drink and be
