Rhode Island Orchardists
Produce First-PriZe Apples.

The winning by Rhode Island grow
crs of first prize for apples at the New
England fruit show in Boston again
emphasizes the fact that the soil and
climate of this state are favorable for
orchards, says the Providence Journal.
Why the industrial cities Of Rhode Is
land depend so largely upon the West
for apples is easily cXplained-the
Western men run their orchards on
modern business principles-they give
is much attention to distribution as
10 production and thus find profitable
markets in distant places.
IN flavor the western fruit is infe-
rior to-~ti1at of New England, md in
appearance eastern apples, V. the
sreCs are given proper care, are equal
to those from the Pacific coast or
lizards. The exhibit Of Rhode Island
apples at the show in Boston leaves
no doubt on these points, and the
oriZeS awarded should encourage the

RemodeIing Old Clothing,
Transforming Worn Garments
Into SerViceahIe New Ones

Change entire style of dress Ii you
have enough material or put some
other kind of material with old mate
rial for wooden and silk is combined
in many of the new winter costumes,
says Hazel Zimmerman, Home Demon
,tration Agent, Agricultural Extension
Service, University of Arizona.
Put a new collar cuffs, and belt on
he old dress This will improve looks
of dress Change length Of skirt. Do
not have skirt too short or too long.
Practical skirts for women are five to
six inches from floor. If garment can
not be made over for owner it should
lie made into clothes for smaller men,
5ers Of family.
Most all garments should be mended
before cleaning or laundrying. Mend
ing tissues helps out wonderfully in
mcnding of wooden clothes. This is
used after garment is cleaned. All
patches should be faded the same color
rs garment before using. Use strong
net in mending stockings. The bars
are easy to follow in making darning
stitch.
Many old garments can be made new
again by changing the color. Always
follow the directions found on pack
age of dye for these are the best. Get
dye to suit kind of material. Never
try to dye cotton material with dye
for wooden material. Always use the
amount of salt called for when dyeing
cotton garments. The salt sets the
dye. Old bingham aprons and dresses
which have faded may be dyed dark
blue. These iron nicely and look like
new. Never try to dye dark material
a light shade for this cannot be ac-
complished with satisfactory results.

BEINGS OUT LATENT TRAITS
War Develops Hidden Qualification
of Many Young Heroes Now
in Governments Service.

at takes all sorts Of things to bring
out latent traits in us all" The speak
er in the club car rolled his cigar to
the other corner of his mouth. The
other occupants sat silently, surmising
that story was coming, recounts q
writer in an exchange.
'Knew a young fellow over East.
Father had lots of money. Son did not
seem inclined to add a great deal to
it by working. but made several dents
in the family purse by his spending.
Not that he was a bad boy at heart
only thoughtless. Sometimes 1 think
the rich father was attempting to
make a business man out of man
never intended for that sort Of life. The
boy did not seem to be able to find his
niche. Said to me one day when he
had gotten confidential: You know,
my only fear is that l am not going to
make something out of myself that Will
make dad proud of me- And the two
surely did love each other. One day
the boy asked the father for several
thousand dollars. 1t was forthcoming.
Then he asked the father to cash q
check for some money left him by his
dead mother. He got that. Then the
boy sort of dropped out of New York
life.
"Next thing 1 knew he was lieu
tenant in the aviation section of the
army. He had bought two airplanes,
taken them down into the country to
one of his fathers farms and learned
to fly. Guess those that knew him
thought it was another of his money
burning ways. But when he thought
himself competent he went to the gov
eminent and simply said: Here am,
ready for any service you may have for
me- and the government took him up
in a hurry. He may be in France. But
you should have seen that fathers face
light up every time he mentioned that
boy. And when he does get back from
France he and his father are going to
be greater pals than ever, If that be
possible.
"Now I am not going to say that
many young men are going to have
about $4,000 at their beck and call to
demonstrate that it only needs the oc-
casion to make men out of them, but
do say that there are scores of young
men doing just as much or more

In Euronean Crowns.

With hardly an exception there are
American pearls among the crown jew
els of every European ruler. In 1889,
at the Worlds Fair in Paris, there was
exhibited a set of seven black pearls
from these Mexican fisheries, valued at
that time at $4,000, today worth more
than 100000. One of the largest
pearls ever found here was sold in
Paris to the emperor of Austria for
$4,000, and the Spanish government
presented Napoleon III. with a black
Mexican pearl valued at $4,000. In
the early eighties three magnificent
olack pearls were found on the La Paz
fisheries, ranging in weight from % to
As carats and worth from $1,000 to
$4,000 each.

German Schooling.

German schooling has proved antag-
onistic to cooperation, although de-
manding unity of action through mass
obedience, Winthrop Talbot writes In
the Century. 1t has failed to foster
real cooperation, for cooperation is a
method by which persons of their own
volition and by no compulsion may
work together tremendously. Only
when training and schooling are the
common privilege of all is that state
of civic development possible which
permits society to become cooperative
n it's action. In other words, a So
cialized society BECOMES more possible
only as all individual members acquire
each the widest vision, and thus the
power to cooperate tremendously.

HANDLING POULTRY
IN WINTER

Many successful men and several
experiment stations are satisfied that
free range the year around, regardless
of snow rain, wind and cold, develops
such hardness in fowls that they lay
better than when kept in confinement,
and that birds become accustomed to
exposure and hardShips, and that wal
lowing about in q foot of snow part Of
the day is just as good exercise as
scratching In dry litter in comfort
able house and results in better profits.
There seems to be no data available
on the method of handling fowls in
winter as compared with close confine-
ment, but poultrymen should adopt
either one system or the other. To al
low the fowls the freedom Of the yard
some days and keep them confined at
other times is not conducive to the
best results in egg production. Hens
are creatures of habit to such an eX-
tent that If q flock of birds is removed
from unsanitary, crowded quarters to
modern, well-equipped, properly ven
tilated house they are more than
likely to fall off in their egg production
for several weeks, not because the
change is not for the better, but be-
cause it is something different.
A frequent change from confinement
TO range and from range to confine-
ment, though it may be for the COM
fort and best interest of the fowls in
the Judgment of the caretaker, will so
disturb the fowls that they will not
know whether they are going out or
staying in, and because of the perver-
sity of hen nature they will want to do
just what they cannot do and their
nervous systems will be sufficiently
disorganized to interfere with the
proper functioning of the egg organs.
To the average person this statement
will undoubtedly seem far-fetched
when applied to an animal of such low
mentality as. is ascribed to the hen,
but practical poultrymen know how
hard it is to encourage their fowls to
lay during the winter and how easily
they quit.
