Potato Pens Prove Dismal
FaiIure-Did Not Produce
Their Seed, Christie Says

Last year people all over the country
were building potato "pens." Sorsf
body, somewhere, II was said, hat
raised enough potatoes to last an or
binary family a whole year In an open,
work box eight feet square. The box
was filled with soil and seed potatoes
In the spring, and that was all there
was TO 1t. The vines grew out through
the cracks all around, and the bin
was full of good tubers In the fall. Fine
business 1t was.
The only trouble with this grand
scheme was that 1t didn't work. Pro.
fessor Christie of Purdue university
says that In Indiana most of these sky.
scraper potato gardeners didn't get
back their seed. OF 40 pens tried In
indianapolis, according to City Garden
Supervisor Osborne. not one succeeded
Experiments By the United States
department Of agriculture were equally
disappointing. In a potato pen al
Washington 10 pounds of SEED were
planted and eight pounds of potatoes
ere hary kted. The barrel plan
was just as bad. The crop from two
barrels weighed less than two pounds.
1t doesn't pay to be a mossback, Of
course, but 1t does pay to stick to APP

TEACH US

Father in heaven, who lowest all,
O help thy children when they call.
That they may build from age to age
An undecided heritage.
Teach US to bear the yoke in youth
With steadfastness and careful truth;
That, In our time. thy grace may give
The truth whereby the nations live.
Teach US to rule ourselves always,
Controlled and clearly night and day;
That we may bring. Ii need arise,
No manned or worthless sacrifice.
Teach US to look In all our ends,
On thee for judge. and not our friends;
Thai we, with thee. may walk uncowed
BY fear or favor Of the crowd.
Teach us the strength that cannot seek
BY deed or thought, to hurt the weak;
That, under thee. we may possess
Mans strength to succor mans distress.
Teach US to delight in simple things,
And mfrth that has no bitter springs:
Forgiveness free of evil done
And love to all men meath the sun.

Last Half Hour Of Day Is
Most lmportant--Time to
Review and Resolve Anew

The most important period of all
your day is the last half hour.
That 'home stretch" that silent time
when the eyes begin to cloud and the
clock must be wound and the cat be
put out doors.
For life is a business and a day is
significant.
Each n of our days is like unto
a certain number In the one great col
m that makes no your life. And
every figure must be added-some
time.
DO you ever stop to consider how
great Is each figure that you add daily
to the great column that is to repre-
sent the sum total of what you are to
be at the very end?
The last half hour! What a time to
think things over. To take invoice. To
review. To resolve anew. To deter
mine-and to will.
And what a time to dismiss all the
little ripples of worry and discomfort.
And to bury every bitter thought, to
resurrect every fine deed done and
every useful effort attempted or ac-
complished.
Start tonight to make a chain of
your last half hours. And as the years
roll on, a new and strange power is
sure to accumulated sort of re-
serve strengthen anchor, maybe, that
shall keep you from drifting as some
unexpected storm sweeps Its way to-
ward your frail craft.
Also. If you wisely use your last
half hour, like as not you may sound
ly sleep as the storm spends its rage
and passes on.-Exchange.
