SEEDS OF FORTUNE.


Thoughtless spending is like eat
ing so much Of this years crop thai
there is insufficient seed left fol
next year. Wise spending and sane
saving are like eating enough of this
years crop to promote the highest
dergee of efficiency and saving
enough for even a better crop next
year.
1t is business to think of the
next crop. The farmer who did not
plan ahead might find, at the time to
plant corn, that he had neither saved
the seed nor prepared the land.
Are you saving the seed that makes
fortunes? A small amount of mon
ey invested in Thrift Stamps each
week will soon grow into War Saw
ings Stamps-and you will not only
have saved the seed for success but
planted it. After that it doesn't need
cultivation, but grows in good sea-
son and bad. And in 1924 your crop
comes in. 'hjfEt{ : l.V'|

Columbia, May 29.-When Gov

N. c., last week to inspect the Uni
versity there he went on up to Raj
eigh and spent a night with Governor
Beckett, and upon his return to Co.
lumbia the newspaper men just could

governor of North Carolina said to
the governor of South: Carolina. i
"Why, he asked me if 1 liked mint

And it was even so. Governor
Beckett had ice tea served that night,
and had some mint to go with it. The
North Carolina executive insisted
that the mint gave delightful flaw

he tried it, and then told his host
that it reminded him of something he
had read about the hand of Esau and
the voice of Jacob. =

THE HUN AND THE JAY BIRD, !

! That Hun Of the f's feathered family,
the common Blue Jay, is familiar to
us all. We all know. its reputation
for malicious vandalism, its propen-
sites for destruction and depreda-
ton. We know that it is selfish,
bigoted and no respector of the
rights of other birds. In other words
it is a good prototype among birds
Of the Hun among humans.
On a certain street in Abbeville
two brown thrush built their nest
some weeks ago. In course of time
family arrived and to Mr.. and Mrs.
Thrush was added the responsibility
of feeding five mouths instead Of two
and incidentally these two faithful
friends of mankind increased mans
obligation to them by catching more
and more bugs that prey on the
gardens.
Sunday two Jays, seeking a home
without the labor of building THEN
own, as is their wont, espied the nest
filled with young, the home of the
thrush family, representing mucf
work and painstaking and loving
care. But this meant nothing to the
! Hun birds, despoiler of homes. Sc
waiting till Mr.. and Mrs. Thrush hae
left their young to seek provendel
the Jays attacked the nest and killed
one of the young, but watchful Mrs
Thrush now arrived on the scene
with all the fury Of the female of the
species aroused for the protection Of
her young. A warning cry brought
Mr.. Thrush also.

THE POTASH slTUATIO N.
(The Baltimore Americah


One Of the newer problems with
which the country will have to deal
will be that presented by the needs
of the nation for potash. The sourc-
es of supply are all of them novel in
respect to the conditions, if not the
production. AS to the latter, the do
mestic sources for supply developed
through war necessities have given
to the country quantities of the fer
tilizer ingredient. So much, in fact,
that the domestic interests have
sought to have the government es-
tablish some form of restraint upon
the entrance of the Alsatian potash
in the future. 3.
The German sources were the only
ones prior to the war; At one time
the United States had to make, strong
representation to the German gov
ernment against the policy that was
being pursued to restrict the exports
under the plea that the potash mines
would become exhausted and that
Germany would thereby suffer- It is
therefore, strange now to he ar of
such abundant domestic supplies that
further importations are deplo red.
Early in the year it was announc-
ed that all the Alsatian potash would
be needed for the resuscitation of
the waste areas in France for the
period of at least two or three years.
Later it has been stated that Alsa-

McARONI BALLADS
A NeV Book Of Charming
Verse by Tom DAILY

The extraordinary wealth of Tom
Days lyric gift has never been more
charmingly exhibited than in his new
book, "McAroni Ballads" As his
title cleverly intimates, the book is
both Irish and italian in flavor; but
it also contains some of the poems on
which Mr.. Days finest reputation is
based, in straight English. In the old
French verse forms of ballade and ron
deau Mr.. DAILY is unexcelled and he
fills these crystal molds with entrancing
wit and fancy. Whether in dialect or
English undetied. whether in mood
of gayety or in the dcener measures of
the poets heart. Mr.. Days skill and
grace never desert him. He is of
the native fiber of Robbie Burns,
singer of original and irresistible en-
chantment. In perplexing days and in
u time when the we'll of the MUSES. is
often muddied by the dabbling of clumsy
and graceless hands. it is true de-
light to return TO Mr.. Days gift Of
lasting pleasure.
The composition of dialect poems is Il
dangerous thing for a poet of Mr..
Days power, for it is SO easy to be-
come known to the public as writer
of dialect verses alone. Also the un-
critical reader is apt to imagine that
poems of this sort are in some way
easier to write than the customary
forms. Mr.. DAILY has happily escaped
this superficial judgment, and we are
glad to find in this new book number
of poems-and particularly the splen
did Lincoln fancy, "The Second Com
ing"-which are of the noblest and
most stirring tradition. In his dialect
pieces, which are deceivingly simple
in appearance, his cunning is unvary-
ing. and his genius for insinuating
pathos and humor in the very simplest
themes is unsurpassed by any American
poet. 1t is good news, indeed, to hear
that a uniform edition of his six vol
umes is soon to be issued by New
York publisher. and no lover of Tom
Days muse will rest content until he
has them complete in this new formal.
Herbert Pullinger has contributed a
charming etching as frontispiece for
McAroni Ballads. picture of Rubicam
Road in Germantown, where Mr.. DAILY
houses quite number of lares and
penates. Philadelphians are said to be
unappreciative of genius that lives in
their midst: we think that on the
Christmas book counters the sale of
McAroni Ballads will refute this libel

ROMAN ROLL4ND'S
ROMANTIC HERO
A Bwgundim Wood Carver
Who Is a Sort of Rural

his jean -Christophe" trilogy, relaxed
himself after it was completed by writ

seventeenth century. 1t was finished
and in type when the war began. Its
until the present season. He calls it
"Colas Brcugnon. Burgundian." Colas
being an abbrcviaton of Nicholas.
The hero, who is fifty years old when
the tale opens, is u sort of rural
Bcnvenuto Cellini, woodcarver and
sculptor who does his own thinking,
who is not afraid of fight, who was
lusty in his youth and has not lost his
admiration for a pretty face and well

happened to him for about Il year en-
llvened with "reminiscences of his youth.
lie suffers bereavement through the
death of his wife, he comes near dying
of the plague. his house is burned down
by the citizens to get rid of the plague

burned. When he tries to rebuild his
house so that he may not be com
PEELED to live on the bounty of his
children he breaks his leg and is forced
to submit to the care of his daughter.
The story is interesting, not so much
for what happens as for the disclosure
of the intensely human personality of
Il seventeenth century Burgundian who
fears neither priest nor king and has
his joke with every one. 1t is novel
for thoughtful men. They will find much
in Colas that touches a chord in their
own being aud makes it sing. The opti-
mists among them will agree with him
when he says: ''In my world every
thing is in its place: God in His hea-
ven, the saints in their chapels out of
doors the fairies, and my good brains
in my head, so it all works smoothly,
to each his proper task with no des-
potic king to rule over u.s."

4 HEROINE or
SUBLIME SACRIFICE
Kathleen Norris Develops I'm.
usual Situation in
Ne,U NoUeL

Kathleen Norris has an excellent
book In "Sisters" and splendid hero
inc in Alix Strickland, u vivid and vital
girl who rises TO heights of self sacri-
flee so lofty that, though we all wish
such woman might be, we neverthe-
less have our doubts about it..
Sisters" is perhaps the most
tcnsely emotional of any of the books
this talented writer has produced. AS
in hey other stories. it is tale of the
West which Miss Norris writes about
as though she loved it, and this she
doubtless does.
The outstanding figures in this most
cnthralling book, which one puts down
with feeling of regret. are Alix
Strickland, her butterfly sister Cherry,
Peter Joyce and Martin Lloyd.
Against the better Judgment of her
delightful old father, who. his wife
having died, does his pathetic best to
be a father and mother in one. Cherry
marrics Martin Lloyd in gust of that
impetuous and unreasoning love which
comes in the teens.
But the crudity of her life in min
ing camp. where Lloyd S profession
takes them, and Lloyd's matter of fact
treatment of this Young wife of his,
open gradually widening gap between
them, and Cherry drifts back to the
love and peaceful shelter of her father S
home.
There, for the first time, she real :
izes the charm of Peter Joyce, a friend
of the family whom she has known
