being unble to be present because of illness in his family, the address of the evening was by Y. M. c. A. Secretary Edwin F. Hill, who took for his sub ject Goals Which We Should Set Be- fore Us. Three points were made in the earnest, practical address: We should be in harmony with. other workers and in the working out of Gods will; second, loyalty to our so- ciety, to our committee. to each other, to our church, to the best interests Of the people about us; third, service.
 We must be of practical use in the world. Every one who attains the first two goals is sure of the third. We should serve God wherever He chooses to place us. There is service to our country in which so many are engaged. God will reveal His love to others through us.
 A rising vote of thanks was given MT. Hill for his inspiring words. In closing, President William G. Park of Hanover spoke most helpfully and ap- preciatively of the get-together ser vice.

In 'Facing the Hindenburg Line"

number Of incidents In which naval

Nobody knows all the stories Of cool.
ness and heroism among the naval
men, says the author. We shall not

here is n that perhaps the censors
will allow to go by. It vas told by q
medical officer who was aboard the
Franconia when she was sunk acting
us a transport.
1--WE had five or six naval officers
aboard. They were sitting in the
smoking room-remember the smoking
lounge in the old Franconia? It was
very long, as long as this dining room
and twice as broad. They had just
ordered whisky sodas. Suddenly there
was an explosion and the steel floor
of the smoking room just buckled up
and burst apart in the middle of the
ship. One Of those officers called the
steward and said:
~ ask you to witness, steward, that
we have paid for these whisky sodas
and have not had time to drink them
"Then the rascals went below, got
on their lifebelts, came back again,
asked the steward for a big sheet Of
foolscap, wrote out a long, we, the
undersigned setting forth that they
had ordered six whisky sodas, for
which they had paid zine shillings,
with a sixpence tip, ana had not been
allowed to drink the,l. Thereupon they
entered a claim against the British
government fer the nine shillings and
sixpence, With accrued interest from
date. Then they walked in a body up
to the bridge and handed 1t to the skip
per. The old man told me afterward
he never was SO grateful to anybody
as to these cool young devils for the
steadying and bucking up influence of
their impudence."

CURRANTS AND GOOSEBERRIES
Necessary to Train Both Plants In
Bush Form to Avoid eorers Of
Root and Stalk.

prepared by the United States Depart.
e Of Agricultpre.)
II ease of cultivation were the only
consideration in pruning currants and
gooseberries, the tree form would GER
tninly be most convenient and econo-
mical. Unfortunately the grower has
no choice In this matter, for in order
to insure his plants against the ravages
Of borers Of the root and stalk 1t is
necessary to train both these plants
in a bush form. When managed In this
way new wood can annually be induced
to spring up from the root to replace
any canes which may be destroyed by
bOrers OF which may for any other
cause become useless to the plant. The
new growth should be stopped when 1t
reaches a convenient height, in order
to induce the formation of side
branches and thus increase the area
Of bearing wood. This is much
important than would at first appear,
because the fruit of these plants Is
borne upon fruiting spurs which de-
velOp from wood two or more years OF
age. On the other hand, the renewal
Of the bush Is not only necessary in
order to maintain 1t against insect
pests, but to insure a supply of fruit
bearing wood to take the place of the
old wood which has become unprofit-
able to maintain.
In general a currant bush should be
composed Of from five to eight stalks,
stopped about is to 20 inches in height.
If the plants are vigorous, shoots
stopped at this height will produce sew
eral lateral branches. thus forming a
compact, broad-headed bush with a
maximum expanse Of bearing wood.
The gooseberry should be treated in
like fashion. but will be found to re-
Quire less h~eading-back, because It's
normal habit is to produce numerous
side shoots rather than strong, upright
ones.

Owner Of Dairy Should Establish

In building up a productive and

intelligent breeding, and skillful man.
agement are necessary. A careful con-
sideration Of these fundamentals is

by the use Of economy and good judg-

Careful selection is the first step In
the building up of a dairy herd, and
naturally begins with the elimination
Of all low producers. Every owner
of dairy cows should establish a def
mite standard, and all cows that do
