SET AN EXAMPLE OF HONESTY
Street Car Passenger Left Fare With
Woman Who Took Advantage ct
Opportunity to Be Dishonest

The man in the corner seat looked
worried. At last he spoke.
Madam" he said, will you kindly
take this nickel and give 1t to the con-
ductor when he comes aroundf / have
been trying to catch his eye. but he ap-
parently does not see me. VIII you see
that he gets it7"
The woman sat bewildered In the
presence Of such extraordinary hon
esty. but she good-naturedly accepted
the trust. After the man left the car,
she, too, attempted to establish line
Of communication with the conductor,
but failed. She was nearing her own
destination, but conscience forbade
her leaving the car until her neigh
boris fare had been paid. Before that
feat was accomplished she had been
carried four blocks past her street.
When she finally got home her temper
was slightly damaged.
But you shouldn't have been 50 &C
commodating," said her husband. you
should have got off at your corner"
But how could II" the woman ar

admiringly. women certainly do have
fine notions about these things. But

lndia's Indioo Crop,

The second official estimate Of In
dia's 1918 crop of indigo, published
recently, shows total area so far re-
ported Of q, 191 900 acres sown. This
Is II per cent larger than the estimate
made at this time last year. The in
crease, which is said to be due to the
high prices obtained last year and to
favorable conditions at sowing time, Is
noticeable in all of the provinces so
far heard from with the exception Of
Sind which shows decrease Of IS
per cent. The crop has been adverse
" affected by excessive rain in many
parts of northern, western and central
India, particularly in Gujarat (Bom-
bay), the United Provinces Amer
Merwara, Hyderabad, and in many Of
the central India and Rajputana states.
Elsewhere the present condition and
prospects of the crop are reported to
he generally good.

Ever Sec q Dlnoonek?

The dingonek is a huge, unclassifled
aquatic monster, says the Wide World
Magazine. It resembles In many Of its
characteristics the extinct dinosaur, q
huge reptile Of the Mesozoic period, fos-
sils Of which have been discovered by
Psychologists in the sandstone strata
both of the African and American con-
tinents. 1t lives in Lake Victoria Ny
ANA and its numerous tributaries and
there is no record Of the monster hav-
ing been seen in any other part Of the
world. Whether 1t Is 4 descendant Of
one Of the huge prehistoric saur1ans
that has by q process Of adaptation
living as 1t does In impenetrable re-
gions far away from the entertainments
of civilized man-continued with but
slight notifications through prodigious
ages to the present time, or whether 1t
is an unelassifed reptile or amphibian,
it is equally impossible to say, as no
specimen exists either Of Its bones or
Of its skin. That this monster does ex-
list, hewever, there can be no particle
Of doubt, as the testimony Of authori-
tative eyewitnesses cannot be reason
ably discredited.

HALFWAY WORK DEGRADING
Should Confess Our Poverty or ParsI-
mony, But Not Belle Our Human
Intellect, Gays Writer.

We are, none Of US, wrote Ruskin,
so good architects as to be able to
work habitually beneath our strength /;
and yet there Is not building that l
know of, lately raised, wherein it Is
not sufficiently evident that neither
architect nor builder has done his
best. 1t Is the especial characteristic
OF modern work. All old work nearly
has been hard work. 1t may be the
hard work of children, Of barbarians,
Of rustics; but 1t is always their ut
most. Let US have done with this kind
OF work at once; cast of every temp
tation to 1t; do not let US degrade our
selves voluntarily, and then mutter
and mourn over our shortcomings let
US confess our poverty or our parsi-
mony, but not belle our human intel
lect. 1t is not a question of doing
more, but Of doing better. Do not let
us boss our roofs with wretched, half
worked, blunt-edged rosette9 do not
let us flank our gates with rigid imita-
tons Of medieval statuary. Such
things are mere insults to common
sense, and only unit US for feeling the
nobility OF their prototypes.

Sunlight Distressing.

In addition to the wind there is an
other popularity Of the inland ice
which adds to the difficulties to be
encountered In the Arctic. That is the
extreme intensity of the sunlight,
which can be realized only by those
who have experienced 1t. During the
summer months the sun shines as
brightly there In clear weather as any
where further south, and this contin-
uous brilliancy Is intensified a hun
dredfold by the reflection from endless
fields Of glistening, sparkling snow,
unrelievsd by 4 single object. The
strongest eyes can stand such blind
ing glare only q few hours without
protection. We always wore heavy
smoked glasses, and when in camp
found 1t impossible to sleep without
still further protecting the eyes by
tying a narrow band Of fur about them
to exclude the light. Only when q
storm is brewing does this intense
light become subdued. At such times,
however, the sky and snow take on a
peculiar gray, Opaque light, which is
syen more trying than the sunlight

prepared by the United States Depart

Stumps occupy valuable land; foster
the growth Of weeds, since In order
to keep the land In their vicinity clean
much hard labor Is necessary; mar the
appearance Of otherwise smooth fields,
and hence reduce the selling price Of
farm; furnish shelter for harmful
insects and animals; and prevent the
efficient use of modern machinery.
Stumps may be removed by burning,
by explosives, by mechanical means.
or by a combination of any or all these
three methods. There Is no "best
method" of Kidding land of stumps,
and the selection Of a method for thess
removal should be determined only af-
ter consideration of factors in
volved.
Hardwoods Easier to Remove.
Most hardwoods decay so that they
can easily be removed within ten years
from the time Of logging, provided the
stumps are kept from sprouting. Most
pine and FIR stumps, on the other
hand, are very resistant to decay.
Their main roots will remain sound a
lifetime. The small roots of any
stump will decay In a few years and
with them out Of the way the cost Of
stamping Is reduced.
Often II Is best to stump the field
partially rather than to attempt to get
all the stumps out at one time. For
instance, in field where there are a
few large stumps scattered about and
many smaller ones, 1t might be advis-
able at first to remove only the smaller
ones. Sometimes just by the removal

tiles artificial incubation for cow
peas Is unnecessary and In sections or
the middle West bacteria which thrive
on the roots Of clover and alfalfa are
already present.
Artificial incubation can be accom-
plished by spreading soil from we'll
established field, where the particular
legume which Is to be grown has been
successful, upon the new land to be
planted with that legume, and also by
the use Of pure cultures Of the prop
err bacteria. The United States de-
partment Of agriculture Is prepared to
supply enough of the pure culture to
inOculate one bushel Of seed, and this
culture can be obtained In bottles
which contain complete directions for
use. Application blanks for these Gull
lures may he obtained from the depart
ment at Washington, ID. G. Pure cul-
ture can also be obtained, either free
or at small cost, from the various ex-
pertinent stations.
Too much attention cannot be given
to the preparation of the field for legu-
minous crops. In well-prepared seed
bed the young plants get the best start
and the necessary bacteria will thrive.
Sour soils hinder and often entirely
prevent the development Of the bene-
ficfals0il organisms. To remedy this
condition an application Of lime Is nec-
essary. Any kind Of lime may be used
to advantage, but usually finely ground
limestone Is applied.
When a field Is known to contain the
bacteria suitable for a certain legume
rrop-for example. alfalfa--shown by
the presence Of numerous nodules upon
the roots Of alfalfa plants growing
there. the soil is desirable for the in

Treatment Of Diseased Birds.

The medical treatment Of rOup may
be very successful If properly applied.
The sick birds should be removed from
the flock and put into warm, dry and
well-ventilated room which Is free
from DRIFTS. The affected mucous
membranes should then be treated by
applying antiseptic and healing mix
lures. The best method Is to use a
good spraying apparatus, but, lack
ing this, small syringe, an oilcan, or
even a medicine dropper can be made
to answer the purpose, or the birds
