He Was Cured.

Once there was a little boy who stole
sugar. SO strong was his craving for
sugar that half his mothers time was
taken up watching the sugar bowl.
One morning, however, she filled a big
tumbler full of sugar and gave it to
the little boy and told him to eat ii all.
The boy o Il spoon II started in.
lie ate about Il third Of it before he
got enough. His mother insisted that
he eat some more-it was all his to
eat. and she'd box his ears if he didn't
eat it. She did box his ears, and he
ate Il little more. but presently he
slipped the tumbler under his chair
and slipped out to play. When he
AIN back. though, the tumbler was
there waiting for him. He ate a little.
but ii wasn't good. He said it was
too sweet Every day for Il month
that tumbler was by his plate at the
table. on a chair by his bedside, in the
closet with his playthings-every-
where he found that tumbler. The
flies swarmed about it. and the ants
came, but still it was too sweet"
That tumbler never was finished up.
The boy is an old man now, and takes
his coffee straight. GooSeberry pie Is
the only kind he likes. All other kinds
are too sWeet.'-Kansas City Star.

GRASS CLIPPINGS FOR HENS
Excellent Green Feed for Chickens
During Summer Months--Give
What They Will Eat.

tFrom the United States Department of
Agricultural
Grass clippings are an excellent
green feed for chickens. The back
yard poultry flock Of a family often
lacks sufficient green feed, with a con
sequent reduction Of egg and meat
production. With the easy available
tty Of lawn clippings the city poultry
man can always have green feed
through the summer for his chickens.
The. flock can be fed daily as much Of
the green clippings as they will eat.
If any continued bowel trouble shows,
the amount should be reduced. The
remainder Of the clippings "a be al
lowed to dry and fed moistened dur
lng the time between lawn cuttings.
Amounts in excess can be dried for
winter use. Dried grass clippings are
4 good green feed for winter. They
can be dried and stored in sacks.
These dried clippings, moistened and
fed to the flock, are q very fair sub
stitute for the succulent green feeds
of summer.

FOUND WAY TO WAKE HER
Minister, Annoyed by Woman Who
Persisted In Sleeping During

The minister Of L is one Of
those quietly humorous characters of
whom there are many in the church.
He has q deal to contend with In
his preaching. and the chief matter he
has to combat Is sleep.
Many of his hearers begin to doZe

minister arranged with the vcrger that
in future he should endeavor to wax
en- slecpers from the pulpit.
He managed this successfully for
some time, but one Sunday he failed
to rouse an old woman. Il Well-knoWn

just as he was about to yield, q bright
plea struck him.
"In waken her this time" he eN-

KILL PLANT LICE OR APHIDS
Application Of Soap Solution Will
Prove Efficient-Must Hit
Insect With Force.

Plant lice or aphids can be killed
on golden glow, sweet peas, rose,
buckthorn, plums or any plant by APP
plications of soap solution. This is
perfectly safe to use, and leaves no
bad odor. and a few applications APP
parently are sufficient tt rid d plant or
its unpleasant parasite.
Dissolve a Scent cake OF white soap
In five or six gallons of hot water, and
apply forcibly With a spray-pump when
lukewarm. The insects must be hit
with force. Occasionally bending over
the twigs and immersing the affected
leaves, shaking them back and forth
in the liquid, is more effective than
spraying. Directing a stream Of wa
ter from a garden hose against plant
lice colonies is of some help, il the
water strikes them with force.

Tons Of Gold Dollars.

The statement that there has just
been counted in New York. at the
United States assay office. the enor-
nous sum of $3.50 100000 in gold may
be visualiZel somewhat when this is
translated into OunceS, pounds and

gold coin and bullion ever acculnulat-
ed in one place. it is well 20 remem-

ments that require him to walk. The
use Of bigger tools and thorough prep
aration Of seed beds will also cut
down the time required for cultivation
Of the corn crop. Cultivation is the
operation which limits the amount of
corn one man can grow. If a good
seed bed is prepared, some time can
be saved in c~ultivating the crop, and
consequently more acres can be
grown.

LABOR IS LIMITING FACTOR

Labor is the limiting factor in crop

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS DEPRESSED
Early Gains Were Materially Reduced
 in the Final Hour.

New York, June 27.-The stock mar ket was governed by highly conflict ing influences today, early gains of fair proportions being materially re- duced or wholly eradicated in the ex- tensive offerings of the final hour. Forenoon advances were attributed mainly to the relaxed money condi- tions resulting from the release C Liberty loan deposits, while the late selling was accompanied by unfavor- able reports affecting rails and war issues.
 Call money opened at the recent high rate of per cent, but soon eased to 1-2 and later fell to two per cent. the minimum for that ac- commodation in more than a fort night Time loans also shaded from 14 to 1-2 per cent. for the shorter maturities.
 Unlike the previous session, rails were a negligible feature of the days operations, though fairly firm until reports of an indefinite suspension of proposed rate increases gained cur rency. Some of the high priced spe- cialties, notably Industrial Alcohol, which reacted points, also contrib uted to the sharp reversal of the final hour.
 Steady liquidation of Studebaker, which fell six points to 70 1-2, exert companied by reports dealing with prospective dividends. Ohio Gas was again under heavy pressure at an ex- treme decline of 1-4 and 122, and Sinclair Oil, which fell 3 points to the low record of 40.
 U. s. Steel, Bethlehem Steel, new stock, I4ackawanna and Crucible, as well as Superior Steel and Colorado Fuel were the strong issues recording gross gains of to points but Ios- ing much of this advantage before the close.
 Coppers, shippings, oils, sugars and the usual semiwar specialties were better at one time by 1 to 8 points, and Pittsburgh Coal led the coalers. Reading was almost the only high grade railway issue to manifest marked strength, but reacted sharply on relatively small dealings Total sales amounted to 1 OPS, 900 shares
