Thew Walk With God.

Today, why should We seek the hv.
Ing among the dead? Our vanished
loved ones are not In the dust Of our
cemeteries; they walk with God In
white. As shone the angel faces and
the angel robes, so shine their faces
and their white-robed forms In light.
We walk alone for a while. There are
empty places In home and church;
there r empty chairs and empty
arms; but there Is a light still burning
where they were; a light In the mourn
ing mothers arms, a strange, sweet
light in the home: something like a
glory in the very air, as though angels
had swept past on cleaning wings, and
left a train Of light from earth to
heaven. Oh, seek the living among
the livingi Lift up your sad faces to-
ward the light, toward the smiles
which are falling from heaven, and let
this Easter time be full of faith and
hope and praise! "why seek ye the
living among the deadf" "Jesus and
his W are alive for eyermore."-F.

SQUASH.
purpose.

There are two types Of squash-the
bush varieties, which may be planted
5 and @ seeds to the hill in hills
4 or 8 feet apart each way. and
the running varieties which require
considerable more room for their de-
velopment. Squash may properly be
grown in the garden, as three or four
hills will produce all that Is required
for the average family. They require
q rather rich soil, preferably n that
Is well mixed with rotted manure
Squash for summer use should be
planted as soon as the ground Is thor
oughly warmed up, which will be about
one month after the last killing frost.
Such varieties as the Hubbard for fall
and winter use may be planted at any
time during the spring after the
ground is thoroughly warmed up. and
will grow the entire season. They
should be gathered In fall, as soon as
hard frosts occur. They may be kept
In a storage room in the basement, or
In any cool, dry place. It is neces-
sary to handle them carefully to avoid

TURNlPs.

The turnip requires a rich soil and
may be grown either as an early or
late crop. For an early crop, sow the
seeds In drills IL to IS inches apart
as early in the spring as the condition
of the soil will permit. A half-ounce
of seed Is sufficient for a 100-foot row.
After the plants appear thin to about
8 inches apart. The roots will be
ready for use before hot weather.
For late turnips, the seeds are usu.
ally sown broadcast on land from
which some early crop has been re-
moved, and for this reason the turnip
is a good crop to grow for storage
for winter. They are quite hardy,
and the roots need not be gathered
until after the first frosts. They may
be stored In banks Or pits or In the
outdoor cave or cellar, and keep best
when kept rather cool.
The turnip Is a good crop for inter-
planting between rows of late corn or
late beans.

ing plant and cannot be successfully
planted until the ground has become
warm and the weather settled.
The soil best adapted to the egg
plant is a rich, sandy loan. well
drained. The plants should be set In
row 8 feet apart, with the plants 2
feet apart in the rows. Cultivation
should be frequent and thorough.
Fresh manure should not be used on
eggplant, but well-rotted manure may
be applied freely. Q In fact, there is
little danger Of getting the ground
too rich. Elephants may be used as
soon as large enough and cannot be
kept for any length Of time.

to the initiated; that is oil the argu-
ment needed In favor Of growing this
crop.
1t thrives on any good soil, and the
seeds should be sown In rows 4 to 8
feet apart after all danger of frost is
past, or about the same time as tomato
plants are set in the open. The plants
should be thinned until they stand
about 2 feet apart in the rows. The
edible portion of the okra is the pods,
which must be gathered while young.
They are used in soups or as a stewed
vegetable.

SNAP BEANS.

Bush and pole beans are among the
most valuable and dependable crops OF
the garden. "When In doubt what to
plant-plant BEANS"
Beans thrive best in a rather warm
sandy loan, but may be grown on al.
most any kind Of soil. For the best
results the soil should not be too rich
In heterogeneous matter, or the plants
will run to foliage and stems at the
expense of the crop. Beans will not
withstand frost, and the first paintings
In the spring should not be made until
about two weeks after the average
date Of the last killing frost. The soil
should be In good condition and the
rows should be laid out perfectly
straight so as to make cultivation easy.
One pint of the seed OF most varieties
of snap beans is sufficient for a 100
foot row. When the cultivation Is to
be done by horse, the rows should be
from 30 TO SO inches apart. When
hand cultivation Is to be employed, the
rows should be from Is to "a inches
apart. II requires from 40 to 90 days
for snap beans to be ready for use
II the weather conditions are favor
able.
Successive paintings OF string beans
should be made at intervals Of ten
days 10 two weeks throughout the
growing season. By following this
scheme a constant supply Of tender
beans will be assured.

WYNN IRISH POTATOES, D

The culture of the Irish potato is
familiar to almost everyone who has
ever had a garden. In brief, the POI
tatoes should be planted as soon as
the ground a be worked In spring,
two weeks before the average date Of
the last killing frost being one too
early. The tubers should be cut so
that each piece contains from one to
two eyes, and the pieces planted in
rows from "a to 30 inches apart, and
from 10 to Is inches apart in the rows,
depending on the variety. Cultivation
should be frequent and thorough. II
is an excellent idea to work soil up
to the plants as they develop. so that
there will be plenty of soil to cover
the potatoes as they form.
Early potatoes in the central and
southern sections Of the country will
mature in sufficient time for the gar
dener TO grow q crop Of sweet corn,
late cabbage or turnips on the same
ground. II is often possible to plant
the second crop between the potato
rows before the potatoes are dug.
Early potatoes may be used as soon as
large enough, an old rule being to be-
gin using them when they are as large
as a hens egg. The usual method Is
to dig them as needed, leaving the
main part of the crop to develop to
maturity.
In the central portion of the United
States the late crop may be planted
from June is to July /, but In the
northern sections the main crop is
planted earlier than this, no attempt
being made to produce early and late
potatoes, as In many sections the
growing season Is too short for the
production of but one crop. Late
potatoes are allowed to grow until they
mature or until the frost kills the
vines. The cultivation of the late crop
Is similar to that employed In the case
of the early crop.

CROSS IN HISTORY
Proof That 1t Was Mystic En-
bIem Long Before the Time
of Christianity.

TN the Latin Vulgate the prophet
Ezekiel says In Chapter 9:4-6,
that those whom the Lord wished
to save from the sword he caused
the man with the inkhorn to mark on
the forehead with the sign "thau''
which Is the name Of the Hebrew let
ter Of the shape of a cross. In the
English version this is thus trans
lated, the reading being:
"And the Lord said unto him: Go
through the midst OF the city, through
the midst Of Jerusalem, and set a
mark upon the foreheads of the men
that sigh and cry for all the abomina-
lions that be done In the midst there
Of"
Prescott tells us that the Spaniard
found the cross an object Of worship
in many Of the native temples Of
Mexico.
Doctor Brinton In his Myths" de-
clares that the Indians regarded the
sign OF the cross as a mystic emblem,
wen before they yer heard Of Chris
tianity.
The hammer of the god Thor was
of the shape of a cross, a fact of which
Longfellow appears to have been lg-
norant, for at the feast Of King Olaf,
he has represented the two signs as
made in opposition to each other.
The Rev. Barring Gould has said he
found no difficulty In believing that the
sign of the cross was an important

ions.

SWEET POTATOES.

The sweet potato thrives best In the
southern part of the country, as 1t is
a tropical plant. 1t cannot be sue
cessfully grown in the extreme north
ern sections Of the country. The
plants are started In hotbeds by bed
ding potatoes In sand and allowing
them to sprout, The plants are brok-
en- off the parent potato as soon as
they have formed q few leaves and a
root system Of their own, and as soon
as the ground in the open Is well
warmed up. This will be one month
after the date of the last killing frost.
Sweet potatoes are q heat-loving
plant, and cannot Withstand cool
weather. In setting them in the open,
the usual method Is to throw the soil
up In ridges about 4 feet apart. The
plants are set In a row on top of these
ridges some II or IA inches apart.
Sweet potatoes thrive best In a
sandy soil that Is well fertilIzed
throughout. 1t is a good plan to open
burrows where the row is to be. ill
these burrows with manure and turn
the soil back on top of the manure.
This should be thoroughly mixed with
a shovel pillow or cultivator, as too
much manure In n spot under the
hole will produce n large growth Of
vines at the expense Of the potatoes.
Sweet potatoes may be dug at any
time after they become large enough
to use, but improve in quality as they
approach maturity. They should be
dug as soon as the vines are killed
by frost.

Westinghouse is evident that both

very strong fight for control Of the
house of representatives in the cleo
lions this fall, and at the same time
elect as many senator's as possible. It
is quite likely that there will be a close

sIonal committees and possibly the ma
tional committees will have more to do
with the coming campaign than the
congressional committees. Usually In
the of years congressional committees
take full charge Of the campaigns for
the election Of members of the house,
but both parties seem to regard the
contest this year of enough Importance
to induce them to use all the power OF
the national organizations in the cleo

organization on the part of both pnr-
ties and 1t is evident that each conf

The differences between the Mlssis-
slppl senators, who never speak to
each other and cordially detest each
other, often furnishes a nice little by
play In the senate. Not long ago dur
ing the discussion of the shortage OF
farm help Senator Vardaman of Mis-
sissippi suggested that the soldiers
who knew anything about working on
a farm should be furloughed 30 that
they could 20 home and help make a
large crop. In the course Of an hour
or so Senator Williams took the floor
and ridiculed the idea with all OF the
sarcastic ~inyective at his command. al
though he never mentioned Vardaman
or intimated that Vardaman had taken
the other side. Williams told q story
about how old Gov. Joe Brown OF
Georgia wanted the soldiers TO come
home during the war between the
states and work on the farm until they
were wanted to 90 Into battle. and
then they would be sent back again.
The discussion developed that only
about l per cent Of the farm labor had
been taken for service In the war. The
real facts are that farm labor has gone
to the cities and the big towns. where
there l. a great demand for labor with
high prices.
