Faith -FactS--and Truth
Written for The Evening Journal
By JAMES T. CRoZIER

want to say I am writing today
On a subject that surely is right
It's the essence of friendship pure and
good.
And is given always with delight.
By mother sister, wife or a
friend.
An expression of duty and love.
And all understand, it is certainly
grand,
Next to blessings that come from above
It's a goodbye. welcome from friends
that we love;
Quite often from some little miss
Now don't be surprised when l tell you
the name.
II is simply a sweet little kiss.
It's enjoyed by all females, and also by
males.
No one can deny that is right.
In the morning when husband shall go
TO his work
Or on his return home at night.
The man who neglects to kiss his dear
wife. y
Who left home and mother for him,
On returning or leaving his home for
the day,
Cannot commit much greater sin.
. How well I remember in my boyhood
days
When I knelt at my dear mothers knee
How happy it made me when. went To
bed
For the kiss that she then gave me.
/ am glad of this custom in our land
today
And J trust that - never shall end.
These anectionate tokens Of love to oul
friends.
From a mother. wife, sister or friend
In the DAYS that's gone by, a. dear wifi,
and /
Lived like that in our pleasant home.
But a long time ago she left me, yoV
know.
Waiting up there for Jimmy to come.

GARDEN PLANNING.
Varieties to Plant and How Placed for
Economy in Labor.

The agricultural extension service o.
the University OF Vermont offers sugges
tions on planning the vegetable garden
When planning garden, economy in
labor is one OF the most important con.
siderations. Where the area is limited
close planting is necessary, but the rows
should be far enough apart to allow the
use of hand wheel hoes. Companion
crops must be used where possible to get
greatest return.
For small garden 25 by 40 feet, the
rows may be IL inches apart and 40 feet
long. The varieties should be chosen
with much care. The following list is
suggestive,

Manager Christensen of the land and
