OUR PLAIN DUTY.

Since the days of the Civil in country and
since the days Of the crckets and seagu in Utah. we
have been confronted with such serious question Of
food shortage as at the present time
With wheat selling at two dollars and fifty cents per
bushe potatoes six dollars per hundred onions two for
quarter and bacon at A cents per pound it is high time
that each and everyone of should ask ourselves this
question: How and what can produce this that
will noulish the human body?
To put into practice this question exempifes patriot
ism JUS as truly as the carrying Of an army rifle and
wearing kahki uniform
1t is national duty. Too many people trying
to meet the above question by maintaining that what lit
tie can produce won't help any," Such reasoning is
absurd and such unpatriotc sentiments should not be
tolerated.
In rural sections too many of boys having their
patriotic enthusiasm directed along lines which will not
give the greatest national efficiency The lure of the bat
tie field and romantic tales from the navy many
of to forget that victories in these places depend chief
y upon economic conditions at home. The advice from
the wise of nation to the rural boy is "Stay on
the farm and do your utmost to produce food to feed
country and Europe during this international crisis
In addition to our present troubles such as lateness
of spring high prices for Seed etc. the anticipated yield
of wheat in Kansas and Nebraska considerable below
normal, many dry farm sections in Utah, particularly
Utah. Juab and Tooele countless report much as 60
per cent of the fall wheat winerklled; and considerable
loss is to be expected from the winter of 1861
The following, if put into practice, will assist materi-
ally IN preventing the food shortage next winter:
/. Be as economical as possible.
2. Treat all seed potatoes before planting using
the formaldehyde or bchoride of mercury treat
ment.
3. Plant potato pealngs when fresh if no better
seed can be obtained
A. Take good care of the fruit that is produced
spray and save all surplus fruit; EAT what you
can but what you can't eat can"
5. Watch for the cabbage louise, and use
contact poison
6. Cultivate and weed gardens after each irr
CATION
: 7. Be careful not to use too much water; anna
teurs may do well to use measuring wires.
s. Share surplus seed with neighbors.
9. Cut the ditch banks closer this year; try to
! make $35 hay an impossiblity next spring.
The keynote to the situation is economy on the part
Of every one waste absolutely nothing.

Our Wizard at Seventy.

To-day Thomas A. Edison celebrated
his SEVENTEEN birthday anniversary, re-
views the victories of half aeentury,
and signs for more worlds to conquer
Surely more marvellous period of sci
entifie development, all of which he saw
and part of which he was, never SUBJ
mitted itself for human retrospect. Its
exceeding riches have secured to impress
the wizard" himself, for decade ago
he announced his intention of for saking
the serviceable for the theoretical side of
science. But after the lapse of few
weeks he was back again at the old
tasks, perfecting storage batteries and
devising new filaments for the incandes-
cent lamp. 1t is fairly doubtful wheth-
er an intellect of the Edison type could
ever have eycelled in discovery. a high
degree of abstraction from material ends
is needed for achievements in pure
science. If it had been left to tnls III
novator we should probably know moth
ing yet about X-rays and radilm But
in the field of invention, as a reyealer OF
new ways of combining matter AMI
force, as a transmuter of the total yield
of knowledge into utilities for the serS-
ice of man, Edison has had no superior
and, considering the range of his sue
cesses, few if any rivals. He is pre-emi
nent also in the organizing power on which
invention so much depends. No soone,
has he conceived his idea-of some i'm
provement on the old, some advance 70
the new-than corps of specially COM
missioned workers starts up for its
realization. Chemists, metallurgists, en-
gineers and mechanics aid him in the
work. Craftsmen are called
in TO make plans and elevations; more
than once the university mathematician,
versed in the differential calculus has
been consulted "Edison's staff" says
one of his biographers, "bound to him
by affection and pride as with hooks OF
Steel are the fingers of his hand to
win triumphs which neither he alone nor
his men by themselves could ever accom-
plish." And it is well that in time OF
crisis our scheme of national defense
should have the cooperation of this pa
triotic septuagenarian who once modest
w said of himself: II only 70 little
further than some of the others."-Bos-
ton Herald.

Barre baseball fans, who have watched
the great work of Danny Keefe, the star
twirler on the Goddard seminary pitch
ing staff during the past three years and
for the past two years pitcher at st.
Johnsbury after he completed his work
at Goddard for the year, might be inter
ested to learn of the reputation which
he has already earned around Boston,
and what was said of him by one Of the
Boston Herald's correspondents, as fol-
lows: There are three pitchers in the
freshman class at Tufts who can be de-
pended upon to carry any college team
through a successful season. The most
likely candidate of this trio is Danny
Keefe, who comes to Tufts from Goddard
seminary, after going through season
without losing game. He is big
rangy boy with all kinds of speed, and
a little something on every ball The
fact that the middle finger on his throw
ing hand is missing gives the ball pc
culiar twist that makes it mighty hard
to connect with He had fine control
during the fall workouts last September,
and Coach Slattery looks upon him as
one of the best boxmen, who has ever
entered Tufts"

General Sporting Notes.

Practically every baseball manager
magnate and player in the major leagues
and few from the minor leagues has
given a tribute to Timothy H. Murnane
dean of baseball writers and one of the
most prominent men in baseball from
coast to coast, who died Wednesday
evening, while at the Shubert theatre in
Boston.
Platt Adams, the great all-round jump
er, recently made professional by the
A. A. u, because he is in the sporting
goods business, may succeed Carl An
derson as physical director of the Cen
trail high school in New York City.
There have been more than 900 en-
try blanks sent out to every college,
club, school and athlete of prominence
in the United States to compete in the
national senior indoor track and field
championships to be held at 22d regi
ment armory in New York on March
IL. The championship events on the
card include the 60-yard dash, S00-yard
run, 600-yard run, l,000-yard run, five
mile run, two-mile walk, 70-yard high
hurdles, running high jump, l6-pound
shot, standing high and broad jumps and
medley relay championship for teams
of four men running in the following
order: 440 yards, 220 yards, $50 yards
and one mile.
President Frazee of the Boston Red
Sox baseball club has two more player
contracts signed and tucked away in
his safe for secure keeping. The first
was received from Herb Pennock, the
former star pitcher on Connie Mack
staff, and the other from recruit named
jenkins. bought last fall of the Georgia
league. jenkins is smuggling outiield-
er and is said TO be one of the best pros
poets picked up by the club in many
years. He is right handed thrower ami
a left handed hitter. Jenkins style OF
batting is said to resemble the Sam
Crawford form good deal, as the young
southerner has long swing and slams
the sphere mile.
A few years ago the American Indian i
was considered shining light in base
ball, as there-were several of this ma
tionality, who looked to be the best bets |
in baseball; but to-day there are none
who are at the head of the leagues. The |
Giants had Chief Meyers, a man VINO |
batted for $50 and followed Hans Wag-
ier's trail very closely. The Athletics

men of the game, but he has passed be-
Tond his usefulness. Jim Thorpe looked
rood at one time and he has fallen 10y

How Do You Know When the Right
Man Comes Along?

In the February Woman's Home Com
panion a writer says:
1T seems to me the old-fsshoned
method of telling young people that they
were sure to know when the right man
came along is accountable for a good
many false ideas about love, as we'll as
for vast number of heartaches and un.
happy marriages. Love, when it is re-
ferred to in that way, seems like some
thing magic; something outside of all
reason and reckoning; something in the
order of the supernatural; a gift straight
from heaven. to be bestowed, if heaven
SO chooses, and without any special re-
gard to the fitness or worthiness of
the recipient.
Now when we have a very earnest
desire to understand music or painting
or literature, we take care to go to
the wellinformed, and we study great
models. We do not devote ourselves
TO study of ragtime, or of chromos, or
of dime novels. On the contrary, we
study great music, famous paintings,
well-known books. We know that to
study and understand great models helps
to create in us certain high standards
anu medls, Dy WHICH we may IntU meas
sure our own attainments and by means
of which we can cultivate our abilities.
But when it comes to love, we seem for
the most part to think we can do with
out the best models; and few of us can
be said to really study the matter at
all. This seems all the more strange
when you remember that only COM
paratively few of us aspire to great sue
cess in music, art, literature; but near
ly all of us, mind you, expect or greatly
desire or hope some day TO practice love
and to make great success of it.
'How are you fitting yourselves for
itf What knowledge of the subject have
we? What practicel What experienced
Often enough, none at all. A good many
of us still think of it in the old unintel |
ligent way. We are simply to waken
and find ourselves in love some day; and
then we are to love on in unison with |

degree as ourselves.
