Dear Aunt Molly: What makes
your eye black when anybody hits
you?-Blanche Hiatt.
Dear Blanche: AS l understand
it, when your eye is struck all the
tiny little veins, Tor rather capll-
laries, which form the fine net work
lust beneath the skin and carry the
blood to and from every part of the
epidermis), are so bruised and
broken that all the thread-like
streams of blood ooZe out and
spread around underneath the skin
where they have no chance to get
back into the circulation again.
And so, as the mass of tiny paru-
cles of impure blood settle there,
they turn dark, and that is what
makes your eye look black.-Ed.
Dear Aunt Molly: What makes
the trains go up mountains?-Enid
Parker.
Dear Enid: Since some noun
tains are only few steps too high
to be called hills, an ordinary en-
CINE, with a little extra snorting
and putting, can manage to pull the
train over; but when it comes to
real mountains that have plenty OF
bare rocks up above the timber
line, and snow on top, it not only
takes one of those powerful little
mountain engines, but sometimes
two and cog rail besides, with a
strong fireman to shovel coal and a
clear-headed engineer to stand the
high altitude and lots of brains to
have constructed the railroad, back
of it all, to make the trains go up
| mountains.-Ed.
Dear Editor-How do they meas
ure the earth to tell how big it is?
William I. Campfield.
Dear William Eratosthenes, who
was the first known man to meas
ure the earth did it this way: he
found that on one certain day in
summer the sun shone straight
down into deep wells at one city
while at another city about 500
miles away the shadows made an
angle of IL degrees, which is one
fiftieth of a circle. Therefore he
decided that 500 miles must be
1-50th of the circumference of the
! earth, since all circle whether large
or small have the same number of
degrees in them, and that would
make the whole about $4,000 miles.
And he was very nearly correct be-
| cause the exact number is 24,S72.4
! miles at the equator.-Ed.
Dear Aunt Molly: When you
bump your head real hard why does
it make lump?-Betty Price.
Dear Betty: 1t is something on
the order of when there is a big
wreck why is there such a large
pile Of splintered debris with big
crowd around it. 1t is because the
circulation traffic managers of your
body are not able to carry away the
mass Of broken tissues right at
once, while at the same time, as
soon as the accident happens thou
sands of the policemen of your
blood are rushed to the spot to keep
order and prevent any disease from
breaking out in the general disor-
der. So altogether that makes the
lump.-Ed.
Say, honust Aunt Molly do you
supoz that wen I grow up I'll evur
get to the PRECEDENT of the Unineted
Stats Jimmie G..
Dear Jimmie: There is no tell
ing. If you try hard enough to find
out things, you no doubt will learn
enough to run the government
and if an ability to ask questions
has anything to do with it, with all
my heart and soul, Jimmie, should
certainly pronounce you our Future
George Washington.-Aunt NJ.

a declaration would only be q pre-
sumptuous folly.
Gloria could not read his thoughts,
but she knew that he had suddenly

For some reason which he did not
make plain-largely because his excuse
was artiflcial-Doctor Royce happened

he called and mumbled his reason in

saw her topping over on a carefully
selected soft spot. He ran to her in

There are a few advantages Of farm
life for boys and they go long way
toward making up the difference be-
tween the little weather-beaten' school

more pretentious,b building in town.
All this can be asserted as true
without criticism of the towns or of
town life. 1t is word in appreciation
of the countryside rather, and one
long overdue. We know that the best
things to eat come from the soil. We
should know also that the best men
often come from there and that there
is a reason why.
Take pride in the farm and it's adj

in the long run. Face the frostry
mornings with zest; tackle the hard
job with a sportsman's zeal; go
through each season as though term

training for service.

DOES MOTHER GET HER sALARY9

to keep going the domestic activities
of the average American farm house,
according to estimates made public by
the United States department of agri-
culture. In other words the farm
wife who does her own work earns
about $19 month. whether she gets it

of the average farm is not always
large enough to pay mother, after TAX

pretty much like other folks. EVERY

THE OPPORTUNITY OF THE
TOWN LIES IN THE COUNTRY.

The opportunity of the town lies in
the country. The country can get
along without the town, but no town
ever has or ever will be permanently
prosperous where the land is poor.
The. town is built on farm profits; on
what farmers produce in excess of
their home needs. In fact, towns are
consumers. not real producers. Towns
are the natural evolution and out
growth OF necesSity-places to store
and distribute the worlds surplus
products through the channels Of COM
merce. There is but one road to
permanent city buflding-that road
leads to the farm. Business is SO SYM
pathetic, SO sensitive to crop produc-
ton. that the forecast of a poor wheat
or corn crop affects the markets Of
the world. When the harvest fields
smile, towns wax fat. and factories in
crease the pay roll. Corn, wheat, and
hay, beef, pork and pOultry-thcse are
the soil builders, the hume builders,
the builders of great cities.
The old fashioned Chamber of Com
merce, with its cash bonuses and free
factory sites. is rapidly passing away
Instead or grabbing business from each
other we must realize that our oppor-
j tunities lie hidden in the fertility of
the soil. Towns and cities are begin
ming to look to the country. out to the
fields of growing corn, wheat and cot
ton for their real prosperity. A sue
cessful hay campaign will bring fac
tories to the town. Hay means beef
and pork. which beckon the packing
house and storage plant. More corn
means cereal mills, glucose factories,
starch factories. Flour mills locate
in wheat producing sections Cream
cries follow the dairy cow, and the
. truck patch calls for the canning fac
tory.
Let us, have more Chambers of Com
merce and agriculture. Let us create
wealth from the opportunities at home,
and not substract it from other com
munities
3! We must not forget that every farm
is factory, and that in every State
there are thousands of these factories
which need our best thought and effort
to make them productive.-Prof.P P. G..
Holden.

WHAT ONE CAN Do TO

AS one death in three is from

much that individuals can do OF their

cult, that :. person can do that VIII
count most in maintaining health, put
it's fhe little daily habits and careless
customs that count most, either FOR
or against health. For instance:
One can keep their fingers out o.
their nose and mouth and teach their
children to do the same. When one
coughs, he can always tur nhls head
and use his handkerchief after nav
ing time to reach it. One can WASH
his hands before meals for his own
protection and after meals for the pro-
lection of others. One can aVold

illness in addition to the regular soap
and waite rcleanliness and greatly de-
crease his chances against diseases.
Again. the individual can at least
sleep in fresh air at night and can

that he gets sufficient rest, exercises.

SORE ON THE JOB.

We heard young man say the other
day that he was "sore on his job" and
guessed it was about time for him to
quit. Well, maybe. Sometimes it is
best to quit if you are thoroughly dis
satisfied But the young man, or VIC
man, who is always ready to quit when
the Job gets distasteful Won't accom-
pIish much.
After all jobs are like people. They
have cranky spells, and contrary
spells, and blue spells, and once in
while they seem to get sick. But the
worker who can stick by his job,
through it all, and keep his eyes on
the Ultimate results instead of the I'M

if you stand by them when they are

you will reap a bountiful reward OF
enjoyable, gratifying work.
