Gum PopuIarized by War.

American chewing gum is develop
ing into one of wars blessings. Welsh
men are reported crazy over American
chewing gum. A report of the depart
ment of commerce says that loads
of this jaw exerciser can be sold if
we only go after the market. Rieces
of chewing gum to retail at a penny
each are steadily finding favor among
the old and young alike.
The people of Wales are sending
loads of gum to their men in the
trenches because along certain lines
of the trench the soldiers are not al
lowed to smoke and they have to be
doing something, so they chew gum.
Men and women working in the muni-
ton factories do not dare to smoke,
and consequently another enormous
demand for gum.

candIestick Architecture.

At a certain quaint little restaurant
in Greenwich village, n. Y, there are
some self-made candle decorations
which are oddly interesting. The can
dlesticks started out by being the ord1-
nary slim brass affairs, but the drip
pings of countless candles have been
allowed to accumulate until round the
base of every stick there has formed
an intricately delicate grotto of white
wax. The formation is about ten or
twelve inches in diameter in each case,
the wax has run down and hardened
into tiny caves, craggy precipices and
other features, in miniature, similar
to the great stalactite caves. Streaks
of soft green have been added to the
white by the verdigris forming on the
brass and coloring the wax as it melts.
The wax grottos have grown to such
proportions that the candlesticks are
entirely concealed and the lighted can
dies seem to rise out of the roofs OF
the dainty caves.

PLANTS MILLIONS OF TREES
State of Pennsylvania to Carry Out
Extensive Plans for Reforesting
Operations.

Planting plans for the Pennsylvania
forests, allotting 3,SOOOO0 forest tree
seedlings for this years refOresting op-
erations, have been approved by For
estry Commissioner COnklin, the Phila-
delphia Record states. In addition to
these trees for the state forests about
1,775,OOO trees. will be distributed free
of charge to private individuals and
corporations interested in reforesting.
Almost 100000 will be used by water
companies in reforesting barren wa
tersheds upon which bOroughs and
cities depend for their water supply.
This number, although probably
greater than that to be planted by any
other state in the Union, is almost 3
100000 under the record set by Penn
sylvania last year. The reasons are
shortage of labor and shrinkage OF the
labor appropriation of the department
of forestry to almost microscopic size

"Stump-Jump" PIows.

The fact that practically the entire
surface Of the areas susceptible to
cultivation in western Australia is
heavily wooded and that the dearth
and cost of labor preclude the clearing
of the land of stumps and roots, has
led to the invention of a special type
of plow known as the stump jump
This is so constructed that it will roll
over stumps and other distractions ly-
ing on the ground. The plow was
invented by an Australian and, so far,
has been manufactured only in that
country. In breaking up new lands
preference is given to the stump-jump
disk plow, as it will cut many roots
that moldboard plow would leave un-
touched. As the land becomes clean
er of roots after two or three years.
application of this treatment, the
stump-jump moldboard is preferred be-
cause Of its better soil turning quail

TO MAKE GARDEN PROPERLY
There Is Only One Way to Do 1t Right,
and That Is to Leave II All
to the Missus.

Gardening, so far as man is con-
cerned, is much like hanging pictures.
Man can expect neither to hang the
framed portraits of his wife's relatives,
nor to locate the nasturtiums, the pop
pies and the candytuft, to her satisfac-
ton. We have tried both and have
failed every time, says the Detroit Free
Press.
If we give Grand Aunt Elizabeth
Ann, as she was when seventeen years
of age, done into crayOn from a cab
met photograph and framed in genuine
black walnut, the prominent place over
the mantelpiece, the missus decides
that she should have been placed on
the east wall near the window. If we
give her the east wall she must go
over the mantelpiece. 1t makes no
difference what picture gets the spot
on the south wall, some other should
have had it.
And so it is with the garden seeds.
After we have carefully agreed on
what to plant the trouble begins. We
proceed to the garden, while she re-
mains in the house to get the children
ready for school. At last, weary and
sore, and feeling that we have invited
a return visit from int1ammatory
rheumatism, we announce that the job
is done; the seeds are in.
She comes out to inspect the work
1t won't do at all. 1t is not what she
thought we were going to do; it is not
what she wanted. We have put the
nasturtiums where the mignOnette
should have been.
The pOppies were to have been near
the house and they are by the back
fence. And we have given the zin'
MAS the space she had selected for the
china asters. Nothing is right.
She might have known better than
to have trusted US to do the work. II
will have to be done all over again
Anybody who has ever tried to gather
up mignonette seed after it is once
planted knows how quickly man viii
lose his temper when that proposition
is submitted to him. There is only
one way to plant garden properly
that is to let the missus do it.

FROM PRIVATE TO GENERAL
Steps to Climb Before He
Arrives at the Top.

The private soldier, standing at the
bottom of the army stairs, has nine
steps to climb before he arrives at
the top, a general. His first promo
tiOn is to corporal and the next to
sergeant. He is elevated to these
grades by his regimental commander.
The next step to a commission bear
ing the presidents name was former
ly the most difficult to negotiate, but
thanks to the army's pressing need
of officers it is now fairly easy to
take for men who honestly possess
the qualities necessary to make the
right kind of officers, says Richard
Smith in Leslie's.
After he becomes a second lieuten-
ant time and opportunity will give
the soldier his first lieutenancy and
later captaincy. Next he becomes a
major. Directly above the major
stands the lieutenant colonel, who is
one grade below a colonel. At the
top, for final reward, is a generals
star.
Easy as the ascent seems to the
laymen, a superficial examination OF
the facts will prove it a difficult
climb, but by no means a forlorn hope
Witness the fact that one of the most
caste-controlled armies in the world
the British, has at its head a general
in chief who began as a ranker. Ever
on a peace footing enlisted men Of
ability in our army have been able t.
secure commissions through stud!
and application to duty. On a wal
basis this opportunity is much greater

THE SOY BEAN WILL
SERVE MANY PURPOSES
May De Grown For Money Crop, For
age, and Soil ImproVer-WlIl
Follow Dat Crop.

The soy bean Is a very valuable
crop to grow at any time. 1t may be
utilized as a money CROP where the
seed are harvested and sold to the
oil mills. II thus contributes to the
food supply. Twenty bushels Of seed
per acre is a reasonably good yield.
and at the present price this yield
would bring a fair profit when the low
cost at which the crop may be grown
is considered.
Probably the greatest value Of the
soy bean, on the whole, however, is as
a forage crop When grown for this
purpose it should be planted thick in
the row and cut for hay. 1t makes a
feed almost equal in value to alfalfa
hay. The harvesting period is usual
ly the latter part Of August or the
first Of September, when fair wealth
er usually prevails. Difficulty is fire.
quently experienced in obtaining good
seed for planting, and a poor stand OF
soy beans is common. To guard
against this, the germinative quality
of the seed should be tested before
planting and the planting should be
done with care. Failure will result if
the land for soy beans is poorly pre-.
pared. The land should be we'll plow.
ed and pulyerized, and the seed plant
ed not more than one inch to one and
one-half inches deep, The planting
may be done up to the middle Of July,
and on this account it Is one of the
best crops to follow the oat crop. On
poor land the rows should be from
two to two and One-half feet wide. and
on fertile soil from three to three and
one-half feet. Planting should be done
with a corn or pea planter and about
onehalf bushel Of seed used per acre.
II properly planted no hoeing should
be required by this crop and 1t will
need only two or three cultivations.-
