Are You a superior Person?

A professor Of psychology announced
to his class somewhat humerously one
day that he should PROFOUND a prob
lem by means of which each member
could prove to his own satisfaction
whether or not he was a superior per-
son. The average person, he explained,
never works it out; only the person of
superior practical ability succeeds.
Here is the problem, as propounded by
the Youths Companion:
A man has two pals, one of which
holds exactly five quarts and the other
exactly three quarts. He is sent to the
river to bring back exactly seven
quarts Of water, no more, no less. With
only the fve-quart pail and the three
quart pail how can he measure exactly
seven quarts? Can you solve it?

With Yields

You know about what to expect
from your soil under ordinary con-
dtions. You can see from this
table that il would be foolish to
leave enough stalks on the land to
produce % bushels when you know
the land could not grow more than
10. Plant your corn in proportion
TO the fertility Of the soil.
Depth of Planting
DO not plant too deep. One inch
is deep enough early in the season
when there is plenty of moisture.
Later it should be planted deeper.
There must be enough moisture in
contact with the grain to start the
sprout. II is good practice, if the
corn is planted by hand, to step on
every hill as il is dropped. This
insures firm seed bed under the
grain and makes il terminate
quicker.
Hoping these suggestions will help
you to start right, am
Very truly yours,
ROBT. f. SPENCE,
County Agent.

BOYS AGRICULTURAL CLUB

Last Tuesday afternoon County
Agent Spence met all the young
boys of Berea at the Graded School
Chapel and organized an Agricul-
tural Club with 81 members. This
was one of the most interesting
meetings Of its kind ever held in
Berca. Iona C. Fish, our State
champion corn grower, was elected
president without an opposing vote.
Speeches were made by the boys
giving their reasons why Iona
should be elected. The big reasons
were: HE has been a club member
four years and has stuck to it faith
fully He is our State champion,
and we want him at the head of our
club" Many such reasons were
given.
This club will raise all kinds Of
crops, and grow animals Of their
choice. Before May the club will
perhaps reach 60 or more members.
Leila Bowman, the only girl of
the club. was elected Secretary.
She has been secretary for two
years. She. too, was elected with
out opposition.
County Agent Spence will meet
the farmers of Big Hill at Narrow
Gap schoolhouse Tuesday night at
200 O'Clock; Conway school house,
Wednesday night at 700 O'Clock;
and Disputanta church house,
Thursday night at 200 o'clock, and
discuss Farmers Relations to the
War, and also organize a Boys
Club at each place.

Swat the Fly Harder.

Whether the house fly or the stable
ny or any other fly Is the carrier of
the germ of infantile paralysis, there
Is enough evidence against the pest to
urge extra efforts at determination. At
least, 1t Is very plain that conditions
which encourage the multiplication Of
flies also promote and spread the para
iysis. II II were possible 10 indict
communities, those communities which
permit flies to continue the nuisance
TO put II no more strongly-which they
are, would be liable TO criminal care

WIFE AND DOG BEAT BEAR
Save Clarence Narber From Being
Torn to Pieces by Enraged
Animal.

Milton, Pa.-Attacked by a big black
bear at Riverside, pleasure park

old, was being mutilated and torn
when his wife and faithful collie dog
attacked the bear and saved his life,
but he will lose his right arm.
The bear has long been Gagged at the
park, and during the last few days
has been driven to desperation by
hunting dogs passing that way. When
Narber went into the cage to clean up,
fhe bear grabbed his wrist in its mouth
and mt the same time Rugged and
clawed him.
His wife heard his cries and ran to
his aid. Fearlessly she plunged inside
the cage and kicked the animal In the
nose as the dog grabbed and bit 1t on
the ears and head.
Surprised, the bear gave Its atten-
lion to the dog, and Mrs. Narber
dragged her injured husband from the
cnge and slammed the door. Then she
took long iron bar and prOdded the
animal, forcing it back into the corner
and was thus enabled to rescue the
dog, which had broken leg.
