THREE MONTHS OF DAYLIGHT
Long Period During Which There is
Practically No Time of Dark
ness In Finland.

During the long winters daylight in
Finland lasts only three or four hours.
On the shortest days it is even less.
Then it is indeed, land of snow and
ice. For three months 1t is so hot
that the wealthy residents seek sum-
mer resorts for comfort During that
time It is practically one long day.
Not a star to be seen, and the appear
.ance of the first star is sign that
summer is past and the time of au-
tumn frosts has arrived.
During my visit the evening twi-
light had scarcely disappeared before
the morning twilight chased the gloom
of night away. One could read out of
doors until after eleven o'clock. These
long days, with scarcely any night,
force vegetation to grow at dollhouse
pace. Land and water have no time
to cool. Summer comes in this
strange land with n sudden burst of
flowers, sunlight and birds.
Finland is a land of pine and fir
clad hills, for only a comparatively
small portion seems to be cleared. The
that it has not the grandeur of the
Scandinavian kingdom. In the cleared
portions stand neat little wooden
cottages, which are usually kept fresh
ly painted red being the favorite color.
Surface drain bitches are made in the
cultivated fields every few rods. and
all seems most carefully tilled.-Nevin

HOW ABOUT A PICTURE
GALLERY OF HEROES

Under the auspices and manage
ment of the local draft board for Car
roll County there is being gathered a
portrait gallery of the gallant sons of
that county who have gone into the
National Army. The portraits are
simply of the ordinary "picture-post-
card" type but report from West
minister are to the effect that the plan
is meeting with general favor and it
has been suggested that some one of
the organizations in Annapolis other
than the draft board take up such a
work for Anne Arundel. To expect
the local draft board, which is already
overworked, to take up the work ehre
would, in the opinion of those best in
formed, be little short of an imposi-

siIk.Makinu Butterflies.

There is a species of butterfly, ma
tive to British East Africa, that builds
communal nests as big as a mans two
fists. These nests, attached TO
branches of the trees on whose leaves
the insects as caterpillars feed, are
made of good quality of silk.
Inside the nest, however, are some
hundreds of individual cocOons. Thus
one might say that the bunch repre-
SCENTS a whole flock of butterflies
But the important point is that the
silk of the cocoons is comparable in
quality to that spun by the silkworm,
and claim is made that it might be
utilized probably for the weaving of
fabrics, the coarser material of the
nests finding Industrial employment as
"fioss.'

WORKING TO HELP
OYSTER SITUATION.
Considerable Local Interest In
The Baltimore Convention Of
Men In Business.

Considerable local interest is being
manifested in the annual convention
of the Oyster Growers and Dealers
Association which is in session this
week in Baltimore, with representa-
tives present from all sections of the
oySter-producing States of the Allan
tic Coast, including many from Mary
land.
The Association is devoting all of
the session to a discussion of ways
and means of preventing the dis
astrous conditions which prevailed
last season.
In his annual report Eugene b. Nc
Carthy pleaded for a cleanup of anti
quated business methods, so that oys-
ters-a cheap food-may become even
more generally consumed. AS one
means of lettering the conditions he
suggested the appointment by the gov
eminent of a marine secretary whose
duty should be to speed up the pro-
duction of other seafoods. He also
urged every member of the Associa-
ton to bring in at least one new
member
Lieut.. William H. Killian, president
of the Association, reviewed the con-
ditions of last year, emphasizing the
difficulties experienced by oyster pack
ers in getting their products handled
by transportation companies, and
pointed out other problems caused by
war conditions Directors for the en-
suing year were elected Immediately
afterwards the convention was thrown
open to a general discussion of the
situation by the delegates.

PECULIAR FACTS ABOUT SIGHT
For One Thing, the Pupil of the Eye
Adjusts Itself to the Light
Surrounding Il.

An observant chauffeur, passing an
automobile with glaring headlights,
noted that objects at the side of the
road which had been distinctly visible
dropped out of sight when the bright
lights were thrown upon them. Since
one can see better in a little light than
in no light, he wondered, why can one
not see better in bright light than In
moderate light?
The answer is, paradoxically, that
the less light there is the better one
sees, for the brighter the object the
less efficient is the eyesight. If, after
we have been in darkness, we sudden
ly turn on bright light and look at
our eyes In the mirror, we can see the
pupil of the eye rapidly growing small
er. If we reduce the light the pupil
dilates again. What happens is the
same as in the camera when we adjust
the shutter to the intensity of the light.
The colored iris of the eye CORE
spends to the shutter. It consists
chiefly of a muscle which, as the light
increases, is stimulated to contract,
thus drawing the curtain and shutting
out some of the superfuous light. 1t
usually takes a few seconds for this
adjustment to take place. Thus when
we emerge from darkness into light we
are blinded until the iris can shut out
some of the light from the eyes.

BIG SWEET POTATO

Townsville, Ca, November TO-
Especial MANY counties around
here are Boosting of sweet potatoes
of unusual size this season, but it
remains for Thomas county to show
one that by actual weight pulls
down the scales at fraction over
IA pounds. This potato is one of
a number grown by H. R. Banister,
one of the commissioners of Thomas
county, but it weighs just little
more than the others and just about
fills a peck measure. 1t is consider
ed the champion potato of Georgia,
and Mr.. Banister is anxious to know
if any other county can measure up
t. it.-Constitution
Cobb County has it. We mention
ed it last week. 1t was raised by
Mr.. w. M. Kemp and weighed 16
pounds 1t is still on exhibit in the
fruit store of Mr.. Beahan and al
though it has been drying out for

pounds. A remarkable coincidence,
however, Mr.. Beahan says the seed
Mr.. Kemp used came from the Arch
bold plantation in Thomas County
last spring.

OF MILITARY TRAINING

Discipline! When you have spoken
that one word you have described
nine-tenths of military training, says
the Cave Scout in November Boys
Life. Maybe / can give you some
idea of how rigid the rules are. A
fellow can get skinned THAT is put
in the guard housel for brushing a
fly off his nose while standing at at
tention, for having tent peg out OF
line at inspection, for stopping to
get a drink before reporting for duty
after receiving an order, for failing
to correct a man when he sees him
doing wrong, for forgetting some
little thing like swapping a flap on
canteen.
Do you think that seems little
unfair? Do you think the officers
ought to make allowance for a little
slip once in awhile? Well, it does
seem hard at times, and / have no
doubt the officers feel that way about
it themselves, but they also know
that it is their duty to enforce dis
cipline to the letter. Why? Here's
the answer. Suppose an officer in
the trenches in France should receive
an order to lead his men over the
top in charge at three minutes af-
ter seven. Then suppose that instead
of leaving his trenches at exactly the
time set he should go out thirty sec
onds late. In all probability that of
ficer and his entire company would be
killed. The same thing would hap
pen if he were careless in setting
his watch and led his men out too
soon.

WHO STOLE THE CHICKENS?

Joe Gooch is the biggest liar in
Plumville, Illinois. When he isn't
working at his regular job of lying,
he does odd jobs of painting and
paper hanging, but he has never been
considered success at either of
those occupations.
One day in October, just after the
first frost, Mrs. Hilliard, poor wild
ow, missed twenty-one of her chick
ems, and Joe Gooch was hauled before
the old Judge Boyle, the police mag
istrate, charged with stealing the
poultry. Pat Bulge, day chief of po-
lice, was Joe's captor and accuser.
"Well, Joe," said the magistrate,
chow do you plead-guilty or not
guilty."
The defendant hung his head,
twirled his rusty hat around his
thumbs, looked out of the window at
a passing cow, and cleared his throat,
"I'm guilty, Jedge," he answered.
"H'm~ said the judge meditative-
ly. He scrutinized the prisoner
closely, and coldly.' Then he turned
to the police chief.
''Pat," he asked the chief, "have
you any evidence against this man?
Did you find any chicken bones, or
feathers, or anytiiing?"
"Nope," answered Bulge. 81 amt
got no evidence-nothin' except his
word that he took the chickens"
"Well, / guess I'll have to let you
go, joe" said the magistrate. 81
can't convict you on any such evil
dence as that. Cartoons Magazine.

THIsDOvvlyLIl0 NM
TENANTS SHOULD BE
BUSINESS PARTNERS
Farms Could Be Run at Greater
Profit for Both If an Under
standing L. Reahced Early


Any attempt to put landowners
and tenants in separate classes and
contend that the interests of the one
are opposed to the interests OF the
other is vicious and dangerous. Land
owners are only human beings, with
all the virtues and frailties of hui
mankind, and the same is absolutely
true of tenants. Moreover, the ten
ant of today is often the landowner
of tomorrow, and, nine times in ten,
the honest, painstaking, Industrious
and thrifty tenant graduates into
landowner who is successful in his
relations with tenants.
Put plainly, the primary object of
any business, farming included, is to
make money or its equivalent; put
the very first lesson any man, land
owner or tenant, should learn is that
making money dishonesty is the
worst kind of business-bad not only
because it is wrong, but bad also be-
cause in the long run it never pays.
Too many landowners and tenants
have vet to learn this lesson. There
are landowners, we regret to say,
who have no scruples against Skin
ming" a tenant, and there are also
tenants who gloat over getting the
best" of the landowner.
To the landowner, we say that the
surest way to make dishonest ten
ant is to be dishonest in your rela-
tions with him. Even the most ig-
norant tenant senses it when he does
not get justice, and he resents it and
the landowners interest invariably
suffers. The landowner, by virtue of
his superior business position, should
set the tenant an example of I'M
questioned business rectitude. His
profits should come out of the land,
not out of the man. 1t will pay him
handsomely to cut out Ubiquitous time
prices and high interest rates and ad-
vance cash at the legal rate of inter
est. The profits from a cheerful
worker, a tenant who knows he is
getting a square deal, will far out
weigh those that come from time
prices and excessive interest charges.
To the tenant, let US say that your
whole business future depends upon
your reputation for honesty and
square dealing. These mean trust
and confidence on the part of men
who can help you, and these, coupled
with industry and economy, lead
straight to home ownership and indie
pendence. However dishonest your
landlord may be, it will be fatal
mistake for you to follow his ex-
ample A better plan will be to leave
him, and leave him as quickly as you
can.
The only right relation between
landowner and tenant is as business
partners, each working for the good
of the firm. Such a relation means
satisfied landowners, prosperous, con-
tented tenants, and farm lands in
creasing in fertility and value. 1t is
simply another case where the Geld
en- Rule is not only good morals, but
good BUSINESS as well.-The Progress
SiVe Farmer.
