llaina the Scrub Palmetto.

Once prolific and troublesome waste product throughout Florida, the scrub palmetto is now being developed into an asset of great possibilities. Not only has 1t been discovered that paper of good quality can be made from 1t, but the manufacture of carpets, mat tings, twines, rope and burlap from the plant is already an industry of high standing in the state. Only the green leaf, or fan, Is used. Claim is made that the palmetto leaves when shred- ded and spun are very much tougher than the grass now used for mattings. The green leaves are fed just us they are cut into the shredding and spinning machines, and in three minutes they come out in twine. This avoids the discolorations and losses oceasioned in drying, storing and handling grasses commonly used for mating. Palmetto can be cut every day in the year and immediately made into twine. The skeins of twine when hung up dry rap idly and uniformly. The twine is used as soon afterward as necessary.-Argo. naut

Life of a BattIeship.

We are continually reading i'll the newspapers that various battleships have been completed, launched and for how long they have been commission ed. There are probably few people, however, who know how long a bat tleship lasts. The average life of a modern battleship is about fifteen years. In the old days a battIeship was on active service nearly the whole time of its commission, which was about hundred years.
 The Victory was forty years old when she fought at Trafalgar, and the Royal William, which was built ill 1870, was not "scrapped" until 1813.- London Mail. s

kinderuarten Traininn.

T The increasing growth of kindergar tens in this country has recently been remarked by rhe United States commits sioner of e0ncation, who said: With. in the last SIX or seven years there has been more progress in the establish. ment of kindergartens in cities, towns and industrial villages of this country than in any previous period of equal length. This is especially true ot kindergartens supported by public school funds. This progress has been largely due to the activities of the Ma tiOnal Kindergarten association"
 The kindergarten course secures to the child an extra year of education and as the boys and girls of this coun- try average only little over five years ill school the value of this additiona training cannot be overestimated.

The Sadness of a Wedding.

There is something sad about we'd ding. The young groom is leaving a home in which he always has had his way and is going into one in which he never will have his way. Although his parents do not go through the formal ity of giving him away at the altar, they know we'll enough that in few minutes he will be a son-in-law to an other woman, while to them he is noth- ing but son. There he comes, with another man holding to his arm. It looks as if he might have made an at tempt to escape and that the strong best man captured him and brought him back. He is as happy as he is nervous and so trustful that he has no fear for the future.-Claude Callan in Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

-Pledge blanks are now ready for vol.

Pledge blanks are now ready for vol. unteers in the Connecticut Agricultural army. For the town of Union the Con- necticut committee of food supply has ap- pointed Holcomb R. Howard as local agent, and he has arranged for putting the pledge blanks in places where any and all who will sign them may obtain them without difficulty. Citizens of Con- necticut, your state and country are call ing upon you as never before in their his- tory for active, constructive service in the production and conservation of the food supply. The world must have food to live; America must have food for herself and her allies to win the war; It Is time to act and act promptly. This nations success in this war will depend upon the efforts of every American in that field of service for which he is best suited. The call goes out for those not eligible for military or naval service and not employ ed in any of the other industries vital to the successful conduct of the war to do their part in the great agricultural army. Every home garden every hour of labor on the farm every day spent in canning the products of this summer for next win ter's use, will be a bit of effort contributed to Americas cause. Governor HolcOmb believes that no citizen of Connecticut will turn a deaf ear to this call. The Connecticut committee of food supply, in preparing its plan whereby the crop pro- duct1on of the state is to be increased this summer to hitherto unthought-of proportions, has made the individual towns and cities the units by which it will do it's work. Pledge blanks are to be found iE places where they are available for all who want them. These are to be filled in under any of five sub divisions food production, planting home gardens, labor, home canning and garden supervis- ors, and returned to the town clerk, who will forward them to the state committee headquarters in Hartford.

Suuabs.

A squab grows enormously the first twelve hours and still more rapidly after the third day. Squabs are at first sparsely covered with long fiIaments of down, the root of each tilament in d1cating the point from which each fu- ture feather is to start. The down for awhile still hangs on the tips of some of the feathers during their growth and is thought by some to be finally absorb ed into the shaft of the growing feather.

Worms Build a Great Dike,

The famous Mont St. Michel, off the north coast of France, is rapidly ceas- ing to be an island. The reason, as told to the Academic des Sciences in Paris by Messrs. Houlbert and Ga. laine, is that myriads of urmellids, those little sea worms which incase themselves in stony shells and are so often found upon the shells of oysters. are building a dike across the entrance to the bay, and behind this dike the sand is piling up with every tide.
