GARDENERS SAVE OWN SEEDS
Little Time Spent In Selecting Best

Many gardeners save their owl
seeds, but they are not very careful
about selection, using all the plants

INVESTING MONEY.


NtAa4 One Bank Has TO cay About Real
Estate Mortgages.
The president OF one Of the numerous
savings banks OF New York city re-
gently had occasion TO resort to statts-
tics 10 prove his contention that real
estate mortgage investments made
with intelligence, knowledge Of condi-
tons and conservatism were the safest
form of Investment His request Of
clerks for figures brought forth the
fact that In the last thirty years his
bank had lent upon real estate secu-
rity the enormous sum Of $4,000, 900
and that loss Of but $35, 900 In round
figures was incurred In this manipula-
ton during all these years.
Thus the bank has invested Of depos-
itory funds at the rate Of 100000
Annually, receiving a average Of Per

Modern and cultured persons. / be-

kitchen company or being taught by a
woman like Peggotty. But surely It Is
more important to be educated In a
sense of human dignity and equality
than IN anything else tn the world.
And a child who has once had to re-
spect kind and capable woman of the
lower classes viii respect the lower

The wilderness of mud" as Sir
Douglas Haig called 1t, that bothered
the troops at the battle of the Somme
was not quite SO bad as that which
provoked Napoleon's famous jest that
Poland had revealed mud to him as
new element. 1t is reported that some
Of his guns absolutely disappeared in
the clayey mire, and Marriott says that
several men and horses were actually
drowned in the mud. The utmost that
infantry could cover with infinite labor
was one and a quarter miles an hour,
and double and quadruple teams could
not enable the guns to keep up with
them. When Marriott returned to Sile-
STA with Augereau, both being wounded
their carriage was drawn at walk by
twelve and sometimes sixteen horses.

PAINT FOR FARM BUILDINGS

Do not use any cheap limitations of

VaSSar Girls Make Good

In times past girls went to Vassar college to
acquire class remnants, "high brow" ideas, and
degrees. They devoted their vacations to good
times
Now, it seems they go to accomplish some
thing worth WHILE and their vacations are given
up to better purposes.
For instance-those ~ Vassar girls who spent
last summer on a big farm, doing work hitherto
done by men and doing it fully as well. Thereby
they released men for war service.
These girls, who have just returned to school,
cultivated 800 acres, doing everything from
blowing to harvesting of crops They did more
than farm men usually are content with, for
they canned much Of the crops they grew-16,-
600 quarts Of tomatoes $50 quarts of asparagus,
1000 quarts of Strawberries hundreds of jars
each of beans, peas, corn and other vegetables.
The sum total of their farming efforts meas
ured in grain, vegetables fodder and fruit will
feed 1900 persons all winter and 200 head of live
stock until next years crops are ripe.

lege girls the past summer more worthy of the
