Tropical Current of Wealth
Swamps Craft Of Happiness
BY WiNoNA WILCOX.

All who go cruising on the Seven
Seas OF Matrimony are determined to
find the warm and cozy current of
Luxury. Once adrift on its bosom.
they can abandon themselves to all the
joys of life and avoid all Of its tolls,
they are sure.
But this tropical current of wealth
ard pleasure has its own dire perils.
1t has swamped many who mistake it
for the only path to the City Of Hap
piness.
Even character will rot in tropical
heat. Wealth wealens the will power.
Ease produces laziness. Elegance is
an enervating disease. Those who
catch 1t do nothing more than dance
and smile and sing and pass the wine
OF life.
They have no worthy purpose in life,
no skill to meet its storms They are
like ships without rudders. They are
caught up in typhoons of jealousy and
selfishness, they swirl helplessly in
naelstroms of indulgence and
sloth.
Ordinary mortals have little reason
" envy the TOIIlafceS OF the ricn. The
deielict ships of society make an ap-
palling list.
Riches divide and scatter the inter-
csts Of husbands and wives. Increas-
Ing interest in each other is the only
secret of the worlds most beautiful
love affairs. If two develop side by
side, grow in love, understanding.

work. they will survive any hurricane
which may ever threaten their domes-
tic happiness.

GARDEN TALKS
BY
w. L. Mecklenburq

Garden seeds should be planted deep
tura. yet shallow enough for the seed
lings to be able to push their way to
the surface. The seed, the SOIL and
the season, are three factors which
determines the depth of planting. In
general large seeds may be planted
deeper than small seeds. owing to their
greater power of forcing their way to
the surface. However the structure OF
the seed Is also a determining factor.
Seeds must be planted deeper in
light, open. or sandy soil than in a
heavy clay soil, in order to insure
sufficient moisture. II is also neces-
sary to plant the seeds shallower in a
heavy clay soil than in light soil so
that the seedlings may reach the sur
face. The more thoroughly prepared
the seed bed, the shallowcr it Is pos
sible to plant the seeds and vet have
them supplied with sufficient moisture
foi termination. This il because cap
Hilary action Is much more perfect in
such seed bed. In n poorly prepared
seed bed the soil Is sometimes so
lumpy that ii is necessary to plant the
seeds SO deep in order to secure mois-
ture that the seed is often unable to
y, netrate to the surface.
Usually seeds may be planted shall
lower in the spring than later IN the
season because intense heat and rapid
evaporation at that time causes the
surface soil to dry out more rapidly.
In general practice, in soils Of mcd-
INN texture. il Is customary TO plant
small seeds like lettuce carrots. pars-
nips radishes and spinach from one
halt. to three quarters of an inch deep
at the normal time Of planting these
crops in the spring. Large seeds like
beans. peas and corn, are planted from
one to three inches deep, depending
upon the amount of moisture in tho
soil and the season of the year.
The common mistake Of most anna
tour gardeners Ii to plant the seeds too
deep. This often causes the Seeding
to perish and invariably makes the
crCp later than necessary. It is inter
esting to note that the depth OF the
root system IL not affected by the
depth which the seed Is planted The
plant automatically adjusts itself to
it's normal habits of growth

SAN FRANCISCO, April 29.-Em- phasis Is being placed on the phys ical side of school work as a result of the disclosures made in the exami- nations of the men for the national war service, wherein an astonishing number of reiections have occurred for more or less serious imperfec, tions.
 The new physical education re- Quirement for elementary schools finds many teachers now in service unprepared to handle the work. In order to prepare such teachers, the state, educational authorities are urg. ing schools having summer sessions to give special attention to physical education.
 The Chico Normal school will em- phasize that work and plans arc being

Germany, on the other hand, need
not figure In such a map for Ameri-

I England, France, the Netherlands

A food map of Europe today shows
not single country In which the fu-
ture does not hold threat OF serious
difficulties and only small part which
is not rapidly approaching the famine
point. With the exception Of the
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies to meet
actual needs until next harvest, and
even In the Ukraine, with stores accu-
mulated on the farms, there is famine
In the large centers of population.
Belgium and northern France, as
well as Serbia, appear on the hunger
map distinct from the rest of Europe
because they stand In different rela-
ton from the other nations to the peo-
pie of the United States. America has

war rations of Belgium and northern
France and is already making special
efforts to care for their increased
after-the-war needs. which, with those

be very fair and nothing but the best
of feeling is existent between the two
The agreement signed between both
parties has proven this. and we are
pleased that after year of struggle
