Ribbons Substituted for iron Crosses.

In Germany iron is so scarce that
enough cannot be spared to make all
the Iron Crosses needed to carry out
the governments policy of wholesale
distribution of war honors. At least,
such condition is strongly indicated
by souvenir from a battlefield that
has been received in this country. 1t
is black and white ribbon which the
sender, a medical officer, asserts is one
of many that have. been awarded in
lieu of crosses. The ribbon was found
on the body of a dead enemy.-Popu-

Motto for Dead Authors.

We are told that once, when Pa
tience Worth was spelling out the end-
less pages of the Sorry Tale" she
came to a sudden stop, then wrote,
This be nuff," and knocked off for the
night. A blessed phrase, and, of a
certainty, her finest inspiration. Would
that all dead authors would adopt 1t as
their motto; and with ouija boards,
and table legs, and automatic pencils,
write as their farewell message to the
world those three short, comedy words,
This be huff. Agnes Repplier. in

Cold. Dry Air lieaithful.

Cold. dry air is generally considered healthfol and stimulating by medical authorities. Metabolic processes are active, and if the body is properly pro- tected against excessive heat loss, sen- sations of well-being are dominant. There Is little exact physiologic esi- dence bearing on this condition. Phy- sicians have shown that respiratory in- lection of rabbits with bacillus bowl septicus (snuffies) is favored by chill ing the animals after they have been accustomed to heat.

 PF6serviso Flowers.

4 method of preserving the natu- raj eolors of flowers consists in dust ing salicgllc acid on the plants as they lie in the press and removing it with a brush when the flowers are quite dry. Red colors in particular are well preserved by this agent. Another meth cd of applying the same preservstive Is to use solution of one part of salieylic in fourteen of alcohol by means of plotting paper or cotton wool soaked in it and placed above and below the flowers. Powdered boracic acid yields nearly as good results.

PREPARE FARM

Now is the time to clean up the
farm for winter. So says the Com
mittee on Agricultural Production Of
the State Council of Defense which
met at the Utah Agricultural College
Monday, November IS. The follow
ing statement was issued by the
committee for the benefit Of Utah
farmers.
While the ground is yet bare or
nearly so. intelligent farmers will
make every effort to put the final
finish on preparing the farm for
winter. With the. harvest complet-
ed. with by-products stored safely
away. and with machinery under
cover. clearing the fence lines, ditch
banks, and odd corners Of weeds and
brush IL most important work to be
done before snow tucks in the farm
for winter. Old weeds and brush
are unsightly. They also shelter in
sects and destructive rodents from
the cold and snow. Let these be
cleared away and the land prepared
for useful planting in the spring.
Let tense wire and poles be fastened
up before 1t is too late.
Tomato vines and cabbage stumps
ought to be burned. These shelter
plant diseases as well as insects.
Tomato growers in particular should
get rid Of all tomato vines lest the
land be infected with disease for
next year or lest animals or farm
implements scatter the vines over
land to infect It.
The committee further calls at
tention to the fact that any neglect.
ed corners or old unbroken sod
should be plowed bebfore winter
sets In. This especially important in
order to make the best use Of all
land and to prevent damage OF next
year from cut-worms and wire
worms. Old ditchss and abandoned
tense lines ought BY al means to be
fall.plcwed. Large roots and sod
viii then decay and loose dirt In the
holes win settle during the winter.
Waste land along fences should be
reduced to a. small an area as pos
sible by blowing close up.
Finally. let the weeds and loose
wood or broken implements be re-
moved from the yards and piled In
one corner. This may save valuable
animals by removing the likelihood Of
their stepping on nails or bruising
their feet or legs on sharp edges.
