london, Nov 17.-The British
school boys horse-chestnut harvest IS
on. of the amazing war activities OF
this autumn Some time ago, an ap-
peal was issued to the school boys,
stating that the government could
use unlimited quantities of horse
chcstnuts and acorns in the manufac-
t'lrc of munitions. The quantities
that have been turned in have ex-
c"e ded all expectations, and the har-
vest is only about half in. One small
London school has collected $4,000
pounds. A record is kept of the num-
Der of nuts collected by each boy,
and the best record SO far is 81 ,175.
One school room of twenty boys has
gathered 1l5,700.
Generally the school room is used
FOR collecting and drying the nuts
which must be brown-ripe, dry and
free from husk. If allowed to heat
while in storage, the nuts are useless
for the purpose required. They are
therefore not kept in sacks, but are
srcead out on dry floor space moi
more than a foot thick and urnet

The Modern soliloquy of Mr.. Ham
let Of Fargo.
BY J. e. r.

To plant or not to plant7 That is
the question.
Whether it is better to continue
paying
Three bones a bushel for Pota-
toes, or
To take up spades against the
Fl. G. L.
And by planting, end it9 To dig.
To plant. To hoe.
Aye there's the rub. In the long
hot months of summer
What weeds may come, and bugs,
and other blights,
Must give us pause. There's the
respect,
That makes calamity Of this high
living cost.
For who would pay three bones
for spuds,
Or grunt and sweat under the ex-
tortion
Of the food spectators Who
would stand the gouge,
When he might his own larder
amply fill,
By merely planting seed, but that
the fear
OF long summer evenings spent in
grubbing weeds,
Puzzles the will, and makes us
rather bear those ills we have,
Than fly to others that we know
not of.
Thus inertia doth make slackers
Of us all,
And garden plans of patriotic
merit
With this, regard their current
turn away,
And lose the name of action.

Mr.. Depew's pathway of life has
led along the sunny hiIlsides. It is
not hard to have a cheerful outlook
when fate has been so kind: it is
natural to have keen zest for living
when life contains so much that is
interesting and pleasing as it does
for Mr.. Depew. And yet, perhaps, the
rich colorfuI life that Mr.. Depew has
been permitted to enjoy is as much
the result Of his cheerful outlook as
the cause of it. Who can judge Of
that? At any rate one or two of his
comments are interesting.

that most Of the things you enjoy best

Before l left town, saw the park
way around the home Of one of our
best men in Irish potatoes. Yes, Irish
potatoes instead of the usual grass
and prettily bordeped Gamma beds.
More than that, there were Irish po-
tatoes in the flower beds of that mans
lawn. Also, he had had his back yard
spaded up, and that too, was filed
with potatoes.
The man who was with me was a
Dollar American. If you don't know
what that Is, It's sort of cross be-
tween polecat and a hornets nest.
He said to me as we drove by:
Why, everybody's planting pota-

hope they won't be worth twenty

didn't have to do that, really. AS I
passed him on my way home, late in
the afternoon, he was still down on
his knees to that potato patch-and
therefore serving the Almighty and
the American flag to the utmost of
his ability.
Back in the hills, I saw an old
granny woman and her daughter and
her daughters two half grown daugh-
tiers, all at work in a field that they
had literally wrested from the noun
tain wilderness. On inquiry, I learn
ed that the younger woman's husband
was dead.
A few miles further on, I saw the
wife Of a railroad section foreman
cultivating a part of the railroads
right-of-way. And less than two
miles from that point, I came upon
remarkably pretty 15-year-old girl
blowing off burrows of corn. Now
listen! She didn't have on Star
Spangled- Banner hosiery, and she
didn't have an American flag tied to
her mules head, and she didn't have
a small metal edition Of Old Glory
pinned to her anywhere-but she was
blowing for corn.
