eral times:
Teach me that 90 minutes make

100 cents one dollar. Help me so
TO live that | can lie down at night
wifi a clear conscience. without a
gun under my pillow and unhaunt-
ed by the faces of those TO whom

may earn my meal ticket on the
square, and that in earning it !
may do unto others as | would have
them do unto me. Deafen me to
the jingle of tainted money and TO
the rustic of unhOly skirts. Blind
me TO the faults of other fellows.
but reveal TO me my own. Guide
me so that whenever look into
the faces Of my friends | will have
nothing to conceal. Keep me young
enough TO laugh with little chill
dren, and sympathetic enough to be
considerate of old age. And when
comes the day Of darkened shades
and the smell of flowers, the tread
of soft footsteps and the crunching
wheels in the yard-make the
ceremony short and the epitaph
simple-'Here lies a man."

Keen Growing

A stunted pig or calf never can

that is held in check by bad wealth
or. never grows as il should later in
the season. Every farmer realizes
that these are facts because he oh
serves them from season to season.
Minds should be kept growing all
the time If they are to be useful
headpieces. The mind that gets
into a rut in thinking and stays
there never can grow into big
strong thinking machine. Frequent
rides over new territory in an auto
mobile. the reading Of farm papers
and an occasional trip to farmers
meetings at Berea, Mt Vernon and
the College Of Agriculture or the
Experiment Station. will keep the
farmers mind out of the rut

feet apart with a row of melons

Meats in Storage"

Every working day of the year
o'oOO.OOO pounds OF meat are required
to supply home and export needs-and
only 10 per cent of this is exported.
These facts must be kept in mind
when considering the u. S. Bureau of
Markets report that on June i, 1919,
there were l,348,OOO.OOO pounds of
meats in cold storage. If the meat in
storage was placed on the market it
would only be 20 days supply.
This meat is not artifcially withheld
from trade channels to maintain or
advance prices.
Meats in storage consist Of
IS per cen, (approxmate) hams, bacon, etc.,
IN process OF curing. 1t takes 80 to 90
days in pickle or salt to complete the
process.
10 per cent Is frozen pork that is to be cured
later in the year.
per cent is lard. This is only four-ffths
OF pound per capita, and much Of il will
have to 90 to supply European needs.
l9 per cent is frozen beef and lamb, part OF
which is owned by the Government and
was intended chiefly for overseas ship
ment. II this were all diverted to domes-
tic trade channels, il would be only
w lbs. per capita-a 3 days supply.
1000
From this it will be seen that meats
in storage" represent merely I'M
finished goods in process of curing and
the working supply necessary to assure
the consumer steady flow of finished
product.

US into intimate touch with some of the

Sedaine, Napoleon. While Laurette is
the best of the three, there is a charming

CPEAKING Of completes and related
~ Freudian frivols, l can conceive of
nothing more interesting or sportsnanhke
If you are a psychological sport-than
trying TO iron out the completes of the
lady missionary to the heather. Here is
rare sport, in the underground Rhines
and Dead Seas of the psyche, for the Ike
Waltous Of psychoanalysis.
Strange fish and curious larve here,
you sons of the psychic rod and reel. If
you swim in this sea you will be bitten
by strange maraudmg insects and deep
sea serpents. The soul of woman has
more completes and inscrutable cor
responsiveness than an income tax blank.
And those that go forth into the depths
of the jungle to save the heather really
go there TO be Saved" A dark epigram
that, and thereby hangs a tale.
1t is from the George Fl. DOran Com
pany, and is called Christina Forsyth of
F'ingoland, by W. p. Livingstone. Mrs.
Forsyth passed thirty years Of her life in
teaching the commonplaces of civilization
to the blessed heather. She found them
the Fmgos and Xolobes-a free people
and she left them in perfect state Of de-
graded responsibility.
There Is q tremendous pathos In the
process of introducing shame and con-
science into the innocent, sin obhvious
skull Of a savage. 1t is like making a
rose blush by an artificial process or
teaching a child the shame Of its frank
ness. Walt Whitman asked whether the
savage had not surpassed and got done
with civilization They have their Shell
leys, Shakespeares, Beethovens and lisa
dora Duncans; the only thing they reject
is the scenery of civilization Joseph
Conrad wrote great short story-In the
Heart Of DarkneSs. A civilized pirate
called a gold trader became IN the course
of time like the aborigines that sur
rounded him. He couldn't stand it
naked nature was too starkly terrible for
that poor diseased manikin of trousers
and conscience. Mrs. Forsyth survived;
but what survivalI We prefer the COM
partnership Of Rider Haggsrd's omslop-
agas, and the super-Jaek johnson whats
his namef) of the UAnnmzio film, to the
heather tanners. Ugh! q
But the complex question. Mrs. For
syth had a romance in her youth. The
romance went to India, and the letters to
Miss Moir (afterward Mrs Forsyth)
were intercepted by two jealous sisters.
The Romance returns to Scotland las you

tween them-not wholly utter, but fngid.
