The greatest of our many pleasures
perhaps, is to write pieces for anu
about children, because they are Tue
only ones who appreciate things tnat
are done for them. GrownupS dOnt
appreciate that sort of thing. They al
ways find something wrong about It,

where everybody else is grown up
Last night we saw the little boy, anu
asked him If he saw the piece. Nc
said yes, his mamma had read 1t "
him. And then he ran up and klcheu
us on the shins. 1t was the first tinio
he ever had flattered us with so huch

parental comment during moments of
strained patience in many homes, so
that altogether the most remarkable
fact to be stated of George Bassett is
that he escaped the consequences as
long as he did.
Strange as it may seem, no actual
violence was done him except upon the
incidental occasion of tar fight, into
which he was drawn by an obvious &C.
eentricity on the part of destiny. Nat
urally, he was not popular with his
comrades; in all games he was pushed
aside, and disregarded, being invaria
bly, the tail-ender in every pastime in
which leaders 'chose Sides" his cOun-
sells were sighted as worse than
weightless, and all his opinions instant
ly hooted. Still, considering the cir
cumstances fairly and thOughtfully, it
is difficult to deny that his boy COM
panions showed creditable moderation
in their treatment of him. That is, they
were moderate up to certain date,
and even then they did not directly at
tack him-there was nothing cold
blOoded about it at all. The thing was
forced upon them, and, though they all
felt pleased and uplifted-while it was
happening did not understand
precisely why. Nothing could more
clearly prove their innocence of heart
than this very ignorance, and yet none
of the grown people who later felt
themselves concerned in the matter
was able TO look at it in that light.
Now, here was characteristic working
of those reactions which produce what
is sometimes called ''the injustice of
life," because the grown people were
responsible for the whole affair and
were really the guilty parties. 1t was
from grown people that Gergie Bassett
learned that he was u boy set apart,

VALUE OF PORP0ISE JAW OIL
Lubricant Responsible for Correct op-
Grafton of Delicate Mechanism Re-
tanning FIuidity at All Times.

In this Fastening age of ours, when
even seconds count in business life, it
may sound paradoxical to say that we
owe our punctuality and time saving to
the playful pOrpoise. And yet such,
indeed, is the fact, says the Scientlhc
American, for watches, clocks and the
still more dignified chronometer would
not run month in and month out with
regularity but for the lubricant OBJ
tanned from it's jaws. =
This Oil has the unique property OF
being able to retain it's f1uidity summer
and winter, and there is an authentic
record of the lubricant doing its work
at temperature of quite 100 degrees
below the freezing point. A variety OF
other oils have been tried for the same
service, but all of them have proved
far less reliable. In a watch or chr0-
nometer the oil must stay where put
it must not "creep" over the mechan-
ism and thus steal away from its pro-
per post of duty. Therefore, it ought
not to run away in the presence OF
considerable heat. Neither should the
oil oxidize, evaporate or grow rancid.
These exacting requirements are met
in their entirety only by pOrpoise Jaw
oil, and it is no wonder that the stun
when refined sells wholesale in the
neighborhood of $25 a gallon. There
are many other mechanisms that are
best cared for by using porpoise ia"
oil, such, for instance, as talking ma
chimes, delicate recording apparatus

"What?" Roddy naturally inquired.

But Maurice Levy was tired of being
no party to such fascinating proceed
ings, and he began to hammer upon
the door.

'Iemme in there! know lots about
'nishiatin' Lemme inr'
The door was flung open, revealing
Roddy Bits blindfolded and bound,
! lying face down upon the floor of the
shack but Maurice had only fugitive
glimpse of this pathetic figure before
he, too was recumbent. -Four boys
flung themselves Indignantly upon him
and bore him to earth.
"Hi!' he squealed. what you dom ?
Haven't you got any sense?"
And, from within the shack, Roddy
added his own protest.
"Let me up, can't you?" he cried. II

'"This is a nice biznuss !" he continued,
deeply aggrieved. "What kind of a
'nishiation do you expect this is, any
how?"
"Well, here's Maurice Levy gone and
seen part of the secrets" said SAM. in
a voice of equal plaintiveness. ''Yes !;
and I bet he was listenin' out here,

'Lemme up" begged Maurice, half
stifled. 81 didn't do any harm to your
old secrets, did I? Anyways, just as

difference will it make if did hear a
little?"
Struck with this idea, which seemed
reasonable, Penrod obtained silence
from every one except Roddy, and it
was decided to allow Maurice to rise
and retire to the front yard. The
brother members then withdrew with
in the shack, elected Maurice to the
fellowship, and completed the initiation
of Mr.. Bits. After that Maurice was
summoned and underwent the ordeal
with fortitude, though the newest
brother-still tingling with his own ex-
periences-helped to make certain
parts of the ritual unprecedentedly Sc
we're.
Once endowed with full membership,
Maurice and ROddy accepted the OBJ
legations and privileges of the order
with enthusiasm. Both interested
themselves Immediately in improve
ments for the shack, and made excur-
sions to their homes to obtain mate
rails. Roddy returned with pair of
Iensless mother-Of-pearl opera glasses,
contribution which led to the crea-
ton of a new office, called the "war-
ner." 1t was his duty to climb upon

Now that American troops are
taking their places in the trench
es, attention is again directed to
an estimate by the secretary of
war, that the losses up to June /,
1917, of the British expeditionarv
forces from deaths in action and
from wounds amounted to but I
per cent of the total of all men
sent to France since the beginning
Of the war.
The ratio of losses of this char
acter today, because Of improved
tactics, is less than 7 to every
100 men.

PLANTING AND CULTIVATION
OF SUGAR CANE.

Sugar cane belongs to the fam,
lily Of large grasses and should
not be planted in climates where
the mean temperature is below %
degrees during the growing sea-
son or where the annual water
supply is much less than sixty
five inches. It is an extravagant
consumer Of both water and plant
food. One ton Of cane, with tops
and leaves burned, removes from
the field 3.4 pounds Of nitrogen,
l.4s pounds Of phosphoric acid
and PIT pounds Of potash, while
one pound of dry matter in sugar
cane eyaporates in its develop
ment from 400 to 500 pounds Of
water.
There are large areas in the
Southern States where the re-
quired temperature is found, and
where the rain together with
capillary water. suffices the need
of Alexander the Greats 'honey
without bees" There is enough
plant food in our soil, if it were
available. to grow crops for gen.
erations. Nature has fortunately
so locked the most of it that
greedy man cannot rob his pro-
geny. If man would get the
most returns from his farm he
must put back into the soil, in an
economic way, its working capital
plant food. Barnyard manure,
unused roughage and leguminuous
plants will not only supply to the
soil a great quantity of plant
food, but by improving its physi-
cal condition and water-holding
capacity, assist it to use at a profit
that plant food which the farmer
must buy. Every farmer should
use the same judgment in the use
of commercial fertilizers that he
would use in buying work ami
NAL or in feeding steer. He
cannot expect any better returns
from a poor fertilizer than he
would from a $50 mule ra tick
covered steer.
An acre of sugar cane which
would produce thirty tons of
cane from plant, twenty-five tons
from frst-year stubble and fifteen
tons from third-vear stubble,
when harvested with the tops and
leaves burned. will remove from
the soil 221 pounds of nitrogen,
96.2 pounds of phosphoric acid
and al pounds of potash. To
replace so much plantfood would
require three thousand pounds OF
commercial fertilizer containing
approximately 80 per cent OF
