A Business Mans Prayer

Teach me that 80 minutes make
an hour, Is ounces make a pound,
and 100 cents make one dollar.
Help me to live so that I can lie
down at night with a clear con-
science, without gun under my
pillow, and unhaunted by the face
of those to whom 1 have brought
pain. Grant that l may earn my
meal ticket on the square, and that
in earning it l may not stick the
gaff where it does not belong.
Deafen me to the jingle of tainted
money and the rustic of unholy
skirts. Blind me to the faults of
the other fellows, but reveal to me
my own. Guide me 80 that each
night when I look across the dinner
table at my wife, who has been a
blessing to me, ] will have nothing
to conceal. Keep me young enough
to laugh with my children.
And when come the smell of
flowers, and the tread of soft steps,
and the crunching of wheels out in
front, make the ceremony short
and the epitaph simple: ''Here
lies man" New England Pilot.

LEAKING BADLY

lump sugar and some fine and
coarse granulated sugar. On one


piece of sugar put about three
fourths of an inch of coarse sugar
and the other the same amount of
fine sugar. The latter should be
packed down to prevent it from
falling off. Take each lump in
your hands and dip them stimuli
taneously in a suitable dish contain
ing some ink and watch the results.
You will notice that the ink at
once will pass to the top on the
lump with the coarse sugar, while
It will take considerable time for
the ink to pass to the top of the
other. Ink is used instead of wa
ter because it will demonstrate the
experiment more clearly. The
same action, which has taken place
in this experiment, also takes
place in the soil. And it should
now be clear to you why you
should keep your corn field free
from weeds. and why it is of great
Importance to have about three
inches of fine mulch on the sur
face till the corn is large enough
to shade completely the surface ex-
posed to the sun, and thus stop all
growth of destructive weeds.
How often to cultivate, depends
upon the nature of the soil, the
dryness of the season, the preva-
lence of weeds, etc. 1t is a local
and personal problem. This much,
however. is certain: cultivate often
enough to keep down weeds, at
least during the early part of the
season. Weeds reduce the yield,
because they choke the young corn
and steal it's water as we'll as it's
food. 1t has been proven that
weeds use as much and sometimes
more water than cultivated corn
plants in proportion to their size
and weight.
There can be no rule as to the
frequency of cultivating for saving
of water except this: cultivate Of
ten enough to keep the surface soil
at least fairly mellow and free
from crust. To do this may take
from FIVE to eight civilizations in
one field, and on an adjoining field.
with soil having greater capacity
to hold water, may give equal re-
suits from half as much tillage.
The reliable guide is the way the
crop grows and the condition of
the soil. When the corn leaves
begin to curl in the heat of the
day the time has come for some
energetic work. The results of a
few extra civilizations, even in a
dry season, will not only convince
you of the increased amount in
your corn bin and of the wisdom
of mulch-tillage, even when weed
tillage is not needed; but it will
also help increase, especially this
year, the vast amount of food sup
ply needed by the country to win
the war.

OUR COUNTRY-OUR FLAG
An Entertaining and Illuminating Paper Read at a
Recent Session of the Prison Chautauqua
Bv Mr.. II. @. N.


world, the American flag is among
the oldest of the worlds national
flags. 1t is much older than the
English union jack" so it is full
worthy of its name The Old
Glory"
On the 14th day of June the
resolution was adopted that the
thirteen states flag shall consist of
13 stripes, red and white, and that
the Union of thirteen states shall
shall be represented by 13 white
stars OD a blue bottom
Our country's flag was baptized
the first time in the battle of
Brandywine, the 18th of Septem-
ber, 1777. And the first time the
American flag was saluted officially
was in February, 1778, when the
American battleship Ranger"
with Old Glory at the top, sailed
into one of the French harbors.
Then for eighteen years the flag
was and remained undisturbed un-
til two states, Kentucky and
Tennessee. were admitted to the
Union, and Congress adopted the
resolution, that on and after May
1st. 1895, the United States flag
shall consist of Is stars. It was
this flag that Francis Scott Key
wrote the immortal Star SpangIed
Banner"
In 1918 when five more states
were joined to the Union. Congress
adopted the law that stands to-day,
that the flag shall consist of 13
stripes, represented by as many
stars as the Union has states; and
further, the law of October 26th,
1912, that the stars shall be in six
rows with eight stars in each row.
The first line or row consists of
the following states:
Delaware, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut,
Massachusetts, Maryland and South
Carolina.
Second row: New Hampshire,
Virginia, New York, North Caro-
lima, Rhode Island, Vermont, Ken
lucky and Tennessee.
Third row: Ohio. Louisiana.
Indiana, Mississippi. Illinois, Ala
bama, Maine and Missouri.
Fourth row: Arkansas, Michi-
gan, Florida, Texas, Iowa, Wis
consin, California and Minnesota.
Fifth row: Oregon. Kansas,
West Virginia, Nevada, Nebraska,
Colorado, North Dakota and South
Dakota.
Sixth row: Montana. Washing
ton, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Okla.
homa, New Mexico and Arizona.
In conclusion I wish to say, is it
any wonder that it fills our hearts
with patriotism every time we see
Old Glory floating over our land.
The land of the free and the brave,
and as we are protected under this
great banner it is our duties as
Americans to protect the same.
Therefore, let no price be too
dear, no sacrifice too high, that our
flag always may stand for liberty,
honor, bravery and duty.
May it's red mingle with the ris-
ing sun, the white with the floating
clouds and the blue and stars till
time gives way to eternity.
And so, America for you and
me; America Gods greatest coun-
try.
The blessed land of freedom,
Beyond the ocean bars.
Where the air is full of sunshine,
And the flag is full of stars.

THE CONDITION OF FRANCE

Varying reports concerning condi-
tons in France have been circulated
in this country. Many of these
which are pessimistic in the extreme, !
are German propaganda. Some have |
come in letters written by Americans
at the front and some are the veriest
gossip utterly without foundation,
and yet frequent and positive enough
to awaken fear and distrust.
France is making a gallant fight,
bat France is exhausted-France is
hled white
Statements such as these are con-
tradicted by NJ Lausanne, editor of
LIE Matin, Paris, who spoke recently
in Boston about conditions in France
France is suffering" he said. eve
suffer very much, but we are ready
to suffer still more. We are ready to
suffer until there are no Frenchmen
| left fer suffering.
life for us is nothing without dig
nifty and without liberty, and we
would prefer to die rather than to
live in a degraded humanity, and hui
mainly would be degraded if Ger
many could be victorious all over this
world.
But, if we suffer, we are not ex-
lhausted. We are not bled white.
And here | should like to give you
some figures In September, 1914,
during the battle of the Marine,
France had in the field an army of
100000 men; and today, after more
than three years of war, France has
: in the field an army of 100000 men
In September 1914, we were manu-
featuring 10000 shells per day, and
J today we are manufacturing 100000
D shells per day. Since the beginning
2 of the war the French Parliament has
2 voted credits for the war amounting
0 to more than $2O,00O,O00,000. OF this

London. Feb. 19.-In many ways
the Boy Scouts have rendered valu-
able national service since the war
started. Now, in response to an ap-
peal from the Food Controller they
are going to help the farmers kill
rabbits.
From the point of view both of
food production and crop protection, I"
says the Food Controller, "the killing
of rabbits at the present time is a ma
tional and public service. Every rab-
bit killed represents roughly two and
half pounds of food for the nation.
and means also one enemy the less
