You go down to the lunchroom and

Jimmie went on his way.
Soon he returned
Here you are" said the employee,
his mouth watering for chocolate bars
as he reached for the candy.
Instead of chocolate bars. the office
boy placed two sugur-coated peanut
bars In his hands.
II thought told you chocolate
bars" said the employee, slightly
peeved.
"You did" returned the office boy.
But they didn't have any six-cent
bars: they only had tweive-eent bars"

SAME BOTHERS0ME WEEDS
Pests to the Aboriaines Continue to Be
an Annoyance to Farmers Now
Filling the Soil.

When Samuel Champlain earned the
Keeping Journal as he sailed along
the coast from the mouth of the st.
Lawrence to Cape Ann he recorded,
among other things, the appearance
Of the fields which the Indian women
cultivated not far from the site Of the
present town Of Gloucester, Mass. He
described, relates writer, the hoes
Ased by them, made from the shells Of
the horseshoe crab, a creature which
interested him greatly, and he also told
of the weeds which these women
grubbed up with their primitive hoes,
thus saving their corn. beans and
squashes.
I Among the weeds he mentioned es-
pecially the purslane Of which he saw
enough and, II he could come back to-
day and inspect the gardens along the
Massachusetts shore he would find the
same weeds flourishing In the same old
way and holding their own against the
most modern of farm implements.
More than that II would not be sur
prising II he found fields In which the
weeds had gained the upper hand and
had smothered the planted crop,
whether Of beans. squash or corn, and
he could well be pardoned II he won
dered that agriculture. after more than
300 years, was still helpless against
the weeds which. he had fought In his
day.

Save Much Labor.

If the garden is made In straight
rows and in beds Of uniform size and
shape it will not only present more
attractive appearance, thus adding to
the gardeners pride in his work, but
1t will be much easier to cultivate.
This latter fact is an important item
for consideration, as the average city

To insure that the rows Will be per-
fectly straight all that is necessary
Is a length of strong cord sufficient to
reach from end to end Of the gardens
longest dimension. At each end OF
the cord fasten a stout stake about
two feet long and sharpened at one
end so the stakes may easily be
thrust into the soil.
In city and town gardens, where
the space is restricted, II Is best TO

SENSITIvENESS HURTS A MAN

personal criticism, and lose a days
work brooding over 1t. You see me In
conference with some of the other men
and you stab yourself wondering why
you weren't invited and imagine that

about some one who is making more
money than you, and Immediately all
far fields look greener. You're fair

BUILDING PLAN WORTH WHILE
Neighborhood Always Best Where
Proper Attention 10 Paid TO That
Highly important Detail.

The average city allotment Is spoiled
because little or no attention Is paid
to architectural merit by the realtor.
This is true because OF the lack Of
appreciation of good lines in the for
nation OF a building plan and Its de-
tails of elevation. The situation can
and will be saved when h Is an appre-
Nitectural ability raises the standard
without increasing the cost, thus CIV
ing to the investor an asset which Is
dependable and sure OF realization,
both in actual value and deslrabllity.
because OF stability and refinement ex-
pressed In the building.
The neighborhood where street after
street Is sold out without building op.
erations being proceeded with or rigid
enforcement of intelligent approval Of
building plans, Is sure TO be disap-
pointing because of the lack of unity
in the heterogeneous expression Of
ideas much OF which is so often very
bad In execution.
Some one has said that an ideal Is
the framework Of fact. The aver
age person endeavors to express his
ideal In home surroundings, hence II
becomes a business worthy Of careful
study for the builder of houses to
make them really homes.

duties of the household in order that
they may keep to this common WORK
that all their hearts are engaged H.
and in doing which their hearts De-
come acquainted with each other.
When you think Of this, you realize
how the people Of the United States
are being drawn together into great
family, whose heart is being USED
for the service of the soldiers, not
only. but for the service of civilians,
where they suffer and are lost In
maze of distreSSes and INSTRUCTIONS.
And you have then this noble picture
of justice and mercy as the TWO
servants of liberty. For only where
men are free do they think the
thoughts of comradeship; only where
they are free do they think the
thoughts of sympathy; only where
they are free are they mutually help
full; only where they are free 90
they realize their dependence upon
one another and their comradeshlp
in common interest and common
necessity.

some of the touching dispatches
which come through official chan

there come voices of humanity that
are infinitely pathetic; IL you could
catch some of those voices that speak
the utter longing of oppressed and
helpless peoples all over the world,
to hear something like The Battle
Hymn Of the Republic to hear the
feet of the great hosts of liberty
going to set them free, to set their
minds free, set their lives free. set
their children free, you would know
what comes into the heart OF those
who are trying to contribute all the

SUNDAY TRIPS
FOR SERVICE MEN

There is a cry for help going up
from the Mems Reception Committee
of the War Camp Community Service,
of Annapolis. Mr.. Richard Roland
Secretary, F. N. Basil, Chairman.
1t is proposed to give the men of the
service who are in and about Annapo-
lis an afternoons outing on Sunday, as
form of needed recreation. On next
Sunday the committee desires means
of transportation to Bay Ridge, the
privilege of these grounds having been
rendered through Mr.. H. A. Keyes,
manager.
No more beautiful spot for an out
ing can be found anywhere around An
napolis than Bay Ridge, situated as il
is on high bluff overlooking the Bay.
A large shack offers itself as a bath
house for dressing and undressing, and
the spacious grounds and sandy bath
ing beach cannot fail to give the men
pleasure.
But transportation is a grave con-
sideration. The committee wants cars
to convey the men to Bay Ridge. If
you have an automobile and are will
ing to show your patriotism in this
way, call up 176-W or 900 and tell how
many men you can take, so that ar
rangements may be made at once.
Cars will leave in front of the Ar
mory at 2 p. m.
