DIG, HOE, PLANT, AND WEED

Dig for your country. Hoe for your country. Plant for your country. Weed for your coun- try. Harvest for your country. War calls for men to fight. It also calls for men to pant. The planting is, this year, as much an act of patriotism as the fight ing. The call is for America to feed Europe. This can not be ac- complished unless every Ameri- can does his duty. Every Amer ican should strive to cultivate every bit of ground that he pos. sibly can, so that the harvest the coming year will be the bumper one in the history of the country.
 What Can Wrangeli Do?
 -
 Up to this time, most every thing that has gone on Wrangell tables has been impo ted from below. This is not because our gardens can not produce every- thing that we need. It is because we have not taken the trouble, to any extent, to plant gardens.
 Our potatoes, turnips. onions, and carrots are the best in the world. Our peas, cabbage and caulif1ower are equal to any. Why not then have gardens, so that food raised in the States need not be sent our way, but can be shipped to Europe where it is so much needed.
 This will incidentally also help Wrangell.
 Would not Wrangell be much better off if the money that is sent away for vegetables, chick ems, eggs, etc., be kept at home. So this is an instance WAefe loyal ty to your town, and patriotism, go hand in hand.
 This year why not let all agree to buy as far as possible only from our local gardeners. Let "Grown in Wrangell" occupy the place of honor on orr tables.

Reasonable Request.

A cool individual was awakened one night by burglars. As he enter cd the dining room, where they were busily engaged ill wrapping up the plate, they promptly GOV cred him with their guns. But this did not seem to pcrturb him.
 "Don't let me disturb you, gen. nemen," he said, Out when you go If it's not troubling you too much would you do me the favor of posting this letter? It must go to- night. It's my burglary insurance" :" New York Times.

TELLING TIME AS you RUN
Nashville (Tenn.) Has Installed Clock
for Those Who Wait Till Last
Minute to Get Anywhere.

If you are In the habit of being late
for work, or are In the habit of wait
ing for the last minute in which to
catch your train, you know how you
scan the corner clocks as you fly by.
Nashville, Tenn, appreciated the
need of an efficient timepiece that
could be seen at considerable distance,
so that instead of having the usual
circular dial with revolving hands, the
time is shown by white figures, %
inches high, mounted on endless flex-
ible bands, which move across the face
of the clock, changing every 60 seconds.
These figures show at greater dis
lance and are read much quicker than
the hands Of an ordinary clock. At
night the figures are Illuminated.
1t is operated by a system Of
weights, aggregating several hundred
pounds, which are automatically wound
up by electrical power. There were
many mechanical difficulties to con-
front and to be solved on original
lines, for this clock as 1t is has had no
predecessor.

WORTH OF A SIMPLE RULE
Value Demonstrated by Novels He
roine Who Believed No Situation
Justified q Wrong Deed.

The heroine of novel Of more than
usual interest, by adheripg persistent
ly to maxim, saves several persons
from the consequences Of their weak
nesses and brings them to her own
point of view in truly astonishing
way. The nub Of her philosophy is
that If you do right, only good will
come of 1t and she proceeds from
the first chapter to work practical
proof of 1t among circle Of people
bent on indulglng their own wills and
wbims rather than doing right.
Some simple rule Of conduct is
convenience for everybody, says the
Pittsburgh Gazette-Times. 1t may
easily become personal motto and
living up to 1t a fetish. That was the
case with the heroine of fiction; do
ing right was almost an obsession with
her, but for all that she was by no
means dull and the opposite Of in
sipid. She believed no situation justi-
fed a wrong deed and. none was so
bad that good one couldn't improve
1t, so she persisted In doing right when
everybody else In the book-save one,
Of course-seemed determined to do
wrong. But she proved the worth Of
a simple rule in governing daily con-
tact with people.

BLACK PEARL OF BRISBANE.
Giant Jewel Seems to Exude an Air
Of Unfathomable Mystery, Writes
a Correspondent.

A certain air Of mystery seems to
attach to black pearl, as much from
its rarity as from any other reason.
"rhere is at present in Brisbane"
writes a correspondent from that
Queensland city, "a very fine specimen
of black pearl, which has been brought
from the noythern pearling grounds of
the state by the owner, who is also
the owner of large pearling fleet. 1t
is spherical in shape and Jet black in
color, and 1t seems to exude an air of
unfathomable mystery. One felt when
looking at 1t that 1t should form the
pivotal point Of some great tragedy, a
thing which should be the basis Of
cycle of weird events, involving, the
lives and happiness Of men and wom-
en-. The notorious Hope diamond must
have inspired somewhat similar feel
ings.
$50 far this black gem has had
very uneventful career since its dis
covery In the shell Of the oyster re-
sponsible for its production. How
ever, 1t has long time ahead Of 1t IL
It is anxious to live in history. The
probability is that 1t will ultimately
find Its way to the collection of some
enthusiast on the lookout for curios of
great value"

When Water BojIs.

The temperature of boiling water
may be varied by circumstances. What
we call boiling is the passage to the
surface of the vapor which forms at
the bottom Of vessel Of water when
1t is heated. The upward passage of
the vapor through the water causes
commotion of bubbling which we call
boiling. But this condition does not
always indicate the same degree of
heat. Water with common salt In 1t
requires more heat to make 1t boil
than pure water because the salt re-
tards the rising Of the vapor. The pres
sure Of the atmosphere affects the
boiling point. At sea level the boiling
point Is 212 degrees, but at consid-
cradle distance above sea level 1t is
less and at distance below sea level 1t
is more than 212 degrees. At the City of
Mexico, 7,471 feet above sea level, wa
ter bolls at 1893 degrees of heat; at
Quito, 9,541 feet high, 1t boils at 1914
degrees, and In the Himalayas, at q
height Of $4,000 feet, 1t boils at $50 de-
grees, or 80 degrees less than at sea
level. It would be difficult to make
water boil at the bottom Of a shaft
several miles deep. In elevated places
many substances cannot. be cooked by
boiling; water will bubble and boil at
a degree Of heat sufficient for
cooking.

NapoIeon's Divorce.

Napoleon's divorce, a civil act Of
the empire, was pronounced before
the grand council held In the Tuileries
on December Is, 1909, and the next
day the senate confirmed 1t. To re-
move all religious scruples, the court
Of the bishop of Paris met and pro-
nounced the marriage with Josephine
null, this action being taken on Janu-
airy IA, 1910. The civil marriage Of
Bonaparte and Maria Louisa of Aus
tria, April 1, 1910, was witnessed by
the college Of cardinals save only two
who were too infirm 70 be brought to
Paris. The attitude of the church was
manifest at the religious marriage.
Not a cardinal was present, although
they said that their absence was an
empty form due only to the circum-
stances that Plus VII had not approved
the divorce.

Stimulating Brain Waves.

Saturday is usually an anxious time
for ministers. To live with them on
this day is not an unmixed blessing,
says the Liverpool Post. They are
fidgety and uneasy, worried over those
little finishing touches which 60 to the
making Of good sermon. 1t is doubt
full, however, If many are so nervous as
one Of the leading provincial divipes
who carefully takes his sermon up to
bed on Saturday night in order that
there may be no fear Of its destruc-
ton by fire. Whether he also fancies
that somebody may steal the precious
document Is another point-one on
which he has never expressed an opin-
ion. He says, however, that on more
than one occasion he has had brain
wave during the night, with the result
that brilliant sentence has been add

FOUND NEW USE FOR PULPIT
Sections Wife Was Greatly Excited
When Parson Arrived unexpect-
eddy to Hold Services.

Canon Shearme, in his 'Lively Rec
elections" tells a good story of a
brother clergyman In a remote parish
who turned up Unexpectedly to hold a
service at one Of two churches he serv-
ed In. Greatly to the reverend
gentleman's surprise, the sections wife,
who acted as caretaker, appeared great
ly troubled at his unexpected advent
on the scene, begging him If he must
hold the service that day at all events
to forego the sermon.
Naturally he inquired the reason
why.
"Thereupon," writes Mr.. Shearme,
"the old woman became more vehe-
ment and excited.
'Passon, passon, dear, II you must
preachy, will you preachy from the
readin' desk?'
"'But whyT asked he. is there any
thing In the pulpitT
"'Aw dairy mel Passon dear, don't

JUST HYPMoTIsM.

In answer to an inquiry writer
in the Kansas City Star gives this
history and information on "hypno-
tism," and it is worth reading:
"Hypnotism is an artificial sleep.
The nervous phenomena exhibited in
hypnptism resemble those induced in
animal magnetism, though they arise
solely from the condition of the
patient and not from any influence
proceeding from others. Mr.. Braid
of Manchester, England, brought this
subject prominently before the public
in 1853, but it has long been known
in India. The actual foundation of
