SCARCITY OF GARDEN SEEDS
Gardener IL Reminded Of Importance
Of Growing and Saving as Much
as He VIII Require.

The sea- city and high price Of gar.
den seeds. together with the unprece-
dented demand. made II impossible for
many growers to plant ms much rs they
wished. As dealers were out Of the
varieties ordered. substltutions were
common and much disappointment re.
suited. These facts Impress upon every
gardener the wisdom Of growing and
saving as many OF his own seeds rs
possible. u requires only little effort
to do this and the gain Is much more
than represented by the cost Of seeds.
!, IL m easy matter ut this time to
pick out few of the best rndish aud
lettuce plants and allow them to grow
and form seed. Two or three plants
will produce rs much seed as one needs
70 plant IN the home garden. Pick out
the very best plants for shis purpose.
In the same way you can save seed
81 spinach. tomato. peppers. eggplant,
beans, peas aud many other yege-
tables. Where more than one variety

MISSES INFLUENCE ON CHILD
Hard to Exaggerate How important II
Can Be Made in the Training
Of Youth.

6tory-hour has always been the
standby Of youth. sieefuliy nnticipat-
ing the soothing close OF the day. Ev-
cry mother, too. has appreciated these
minutes day after day. as d blessing in
the training and development OF her
child. II Is an indlsputabIe fact that
n child never absorbs more than when
II Is Interested and amused. so dur
Ing the pleasant story hours the child
learns about the Joys, the sorrows, the
disappointments--in short, all the les
aons OF life.
But now some resourceful mother
has discovered how to improve this
ancient Institution. How7 BY setting
It's llbretto TO music by putting into
song all the little tales Of the hour
cheerful tunes for tales OF Joy; low,
soft tunes for sud tales; clamorous
tunes for victories.
Heretofore 20 many children have
grown to manhood and womanhood
without the helpful influence OF music.
probably because the mother has put
forth such feeble excuses as 4 am not
musical; | can only play for my own
amusement Il don't know enough
about music to teach II to my chill
dren." These ideas are oId-fashioned
now, and no longer hold water. Any
little tune. no matter how weakly sung
or played, but fitting in with the mood
Of the tale or action OF the moment,
delights the child, and unconaciousIy
leaves behind an indeIlble influence
and q recollection Of happy days.

RETAIN ALL BREEDING STOCK
Near-sIghtsd Policy Of Farmer to lie,
Animals Co Simply Because
Prices Are High.

Due to the scarcity Of. and demand
for. all kinds Of meat, the price Of live
stock Is at present abnormalIy high.
The farmer naturally wants to sell all
he can at these figures, and It Is not TO
be wondered al that he Is sorely tempt
ed to sell bis old or breeding stock as
well at these figures. II Is true that
they viii bring a good price. yet, UNI
less others as good or better are on
hand to replace them, this procedure
IL bad indeed.
Instead Of selling on breeding stock,
the opposite plan should be followed
wherever possible the Increasing of
breeders. The American I'VE stock HI
dnstry must not only be maintained
but Il must be built up. XIII the ma
ture stock and the industry Is crippled.
With the breeders killed, production Is
cut or and future farm profits from
these animals lost.
The breeding animals Oh the farm
are essential aud must ba considered
rs part Of the permanent Investment
Save these to earn future profits, and
10 preserve and insure our domestic
meat supply.

Especially PernIclous Are the Foolish
Threats That Are Frequently.
Made BY Parents.

Dnk not lie to children. They will
soon learn you are lying; you viii lose
their confidence. and their respect for
Won win be gone. When you tell them
fairy stories, let them understand they
are stories. Enjoyment Of the tales
will not be less. Some try to control
children by telling them they will be
whipped. thrown out Of the window,
that the s'bogy man. win catch them,
that they win be ''scld to the rag
man." or the policeman VIII get them,
and by making many other untrue.
senseless threats. The child soon dis
covers thar mona Of these things &C.
cur. He ceases TO fear the threat and
becomes as disobedient as ever--per-
haps more so. since such threats act
like dares to continue.
One bad threat often made to chill
dren Is that tho policeman win get
them and take them TO jail. Children
should be taught that the policeman is
a friend, not an enemy. They should
be trained to know the policeman is
one TO guard them from harm and to
help them In trouble.
The evil Of lie to a child cannot be
estimated. Il does not correct the
chiid's behavior. One loses the chlld's
respect and ones authority is conse-
quently weakened. A more serious re-
suit, however. Is that the child learns
TO lie. Any lie is an attempt to de-
ceive and must have evil consequences,
both for oneself and the child TO whom
the lie Is told. One should never make
a threat one cannot perform. Threats
are bad at the best. There are other
ways to accomplish ones purpose. II
you would keep your children honest
with you, be honest with them.
