If late variety is planted, the spacing should be greater, say 34 to 36 inches between the rows and 12 to IA inches between the plants in the row. The closeness of planting should be determined first by the variety, and second by the amount of available plant food and moisture in the soil, or that can be applied to it.
 Yield
 Potato yields vary so greatly that only an approximate estimate can be given. If an early variety is grown, it is not too much to expect 12 to IS bushels from plot of ground 50 by 100 feet. Under favorable condi- tions this amount may be very con- siderably exceeded. In the case of a late variety, larger yields may be ex- pected
 Full information regarding the oper- alton of the soil and the cultural re- quirements of potatoes, is given in the following numbered Farmers Bulle- tins: 365, Farm Management in Northern Potato-Growing Sections;' g 407, Potatoes as a Truck Crop; 533, Good Seed Potatoes and How to Pro- cure Them; 544, "Potato-Tuber Dis cases" All these may be obtained free from the.

Appeals for enlisting in the navy, army and National Guard, are being issued by the Federal government and many of the states. The effort to get recruits is not new, and for years the government and the militia have been working for more men. An elaborate system of recruiting offices is maintained. Although men are coming forward much better than they did, they are not being received in the numbers needed.
 The newspapers can elp by setting forth the good reasons why young men should enlist. These arguments are read in cold blood, and men don't always act on logic and argument. They wait until the leaders of their own crowds act and then they come forward with a rush. It takes the en- thusiasm and spirit of a popular movement to bring them on.
 Unmarried young men owe some thing to their country at time like this. They have had the blessings of free and democratic institutions. Life has been made easy for them by pop ular government. Where in other countries they would be set at grind ing toll at a precocious age, enfeeb- ling them physically \and dwarftng | them mentally, in our land they get | the chance to go to school and to I make good in life. These blessings are the result of the sacrifices and heroisms of those that went before. .- Every generation has it's own prob lems to solve and the young men must
 solve them. If there is danger of a | foreign war, the young men must
 stand in the gap as their fathers stood | before them. To do less than that is stacking and shirking.
 The unattached young man who is
 in a position to serve his country, but
 who declines to do so, will not look
 back on his curse with any satisfac-
 tin. He may have avoided some little
 risk, but he may be taking just as
 many chances every day in other
 ways. The fellow who 'does his bit ,
 who takes his turn in one of our mili. | tary organizations has a proud record ] to which he can look back all his life
 and his children after him. It pays

 tale
 Of thee, my love-"
 Famous men have had their TO- mances, which ho not always get into print. Lesser men have their TO- mances, which they keep successfully from their friends, even their kin7folk and tho world at large. When a young mans famfly find that he does not show the least inclination to meet the young women whom they are eager to introduce him to they should not press the matter The girls may be all that is clever, desirable in every way. but he may have the best reason In all the world for not being interested in them another attachment. The average young man drea,ds to tell his family that he has come across the one girl of all others for him. He is quizzed by his father tearrully pleaded with by his mother. His sisters have their say-sos.
 If he is unwise enough to tell where his sweetheart lives, embarrassment for his sweetheart begins at once. His sisters pass up and down the streets at all times, looking out of the cor ners of their eyes at the windows of the house to catch glimpse of the girl who has entangldd the heart of their stubborn brother. The mother takes her turn in anxiously locating theplace. She may drop into the cor ner drug store to inquire casually about the family in her over-anxiety , to learn all she can of them. The mother and sisters confide anxiously to- their dear four hundred friends. Thereafter, Tom and his sweetheart find themselves under the espionage of prying eyes wherever they go. This drives young man to marry when he had intended to wait longer.
 1 If his sweetheart is employed in a store, her position is more embarrass- ing than she ever let's him know. If his folks had picked out a rich girl for him, they could not have done enough to have furthered the match They do not hesitate to hurt the other girls pride. She does we'll to keep his love and her reputation intact amid such discouragements.

Realizing this, how much better for the home

LAW PERMITS HIM TO sNoRE.

Mrs. M writes: ''Is it not punish able if a wife's sensitive ear and tenn perament compel her and her babe to leave snorer's bed and board. as he snores so loudly in peace and comfort? :? I don't mean to snore; cant help it, he retorts. Is he to support us if we part?"
 am of the opinion that the law permits him to snore in his own domf- cile The reason is he may work hard, snoring for tiredne6. You and your baby can take another room if you are disturbed. If parting under these cir cumstances, he need not pay for his wife's support, but must contribute what he can afford, weekly, for the care of his babe.
