that they were Dutch invention and

Trapping Turtles.

In the old days In the south the ne
gro fishermen used to have an ingen-
ious and simple way Of trapping fresh
water turtles. Any boy today can use
the same method with the same effect
Turtles have favorite summing logs.
Beside one Of the logs sink a water
tight box two feet long and a foot and
half wide. The open top Of the box
should stand about an inch above the
water. Nail the box securely against
the log In such q position that 1t will
catch the turtles that fall from the
log. After the trap has been set leave
the pond or lake for a time. On re-
turning approach the log quietly from
the side opposite the box. II there
are any turtles on the log. Brighten
them suddenly. They will pitch OF
hurriedly into the box.-Youth's Com

There is little story about money

Christmas when she first observed
the spice. or'red swamp berries. and
conceived the idea of making wreaths.
She went at once to all the managers
of the principal stores in Newport

orders. As 1t happened. n was a
very original idea in this part of the
country to offer wresths for sale.
For decoration at Christmas time,

had been used. The one or two stores

RICE FIELDS OF JAPAN.
Mostly Tiny Gardens, but They Feed
$4,000. 900 Peopls.

Almost one half of the land capable
Of cultivation in Japan Ii planted in
rice. Handkerchief gardens would
perhaps best describe the little rice
fields, many Of which are no larger
than a tennis court, are equally fat
and are surrounded by rims Of earth
to hold the water when the fields are
flooded. The average rice field in ia
.paan is about one acre and a half In
size; but, large or small, each field
must be leveled. and each must have
Its rim or dixie. Then there must be
a system Of canals to bring water to
the fields and another system Of ditch
es to take 1t away when it Is ne longer
needed.
Ii the land were fairly lesel the
preparation Of the ground, which Is
all done by hand. would not be so
hard nor would 1t require such vast
amounts of human labor, but Japan
is a mountainous country. Terraces
must be cut from the steep hillsides
and so leveled that they will hold the
water at a uniform depth over the
small fields.
1t Is said that there are 1900
square miles of rice land in Japan, the
greater part of which has been pre-
pared with an almost infinite amount
of labor. That area of land cultivat-
ed in rice virtually feeds a nation of
100000 people.
The little fields are usually perma-
nent, and frequently farmer owns
three or four scattered fields. That
further Increases the work Of caring
for his crops. In recent years, how
ever, the government has tried to CON
solidate the holdings OF farmers by a
process of land exchange. - Youths

NO ROOM FOR THE KICKER.

In this great war which we are
waghg. there is no room for the
kicker. The man who stands around
and criticizes the President and Con-
gress, the draft board and the army
management. is driving nail into
his own coffin. and helping the bru-
tai German Kaiser in his efforts to
dominate the civilized world. Uncle
sam realizes this a. he has never
done before, and hence men are plae-
ed behind the bars. A speech which
would be permitted in times Of peace

otherwise construed. there WOULD be

 The Connecticut Committee of Food Supply has accepted an offer of service in the bigger crops' campaign made by Edgar J. Marston of A Broad street, New York, who has volunteered the use of his automobile and his own services three days each week for work in Connecticut under the commit tees direction. Mr. MarstOn made his offer to Governor Marcus H. HolcOmb, declaring that, because of having frac- tured his knee and broken a bone in his foot. he is unable to pass a medical examination for military service, but said he was anxious to serve the state in any capacity ill which he was need ed, suggesting that he would be glad to work in the food supply campaign without compensation. The letter was turned over by the governor to the food supply committee, and Mr. MarstUn was informed that his services could be used to advantage, and his offer was accepted with appreciation.
