HOW TO GROW IRISH POTATO
Planting of Late Varieties Should Bt
Zone Late in May-Maintain
Good Cultivation.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture)
A rich, sandy loan is best suited to
the production of Irish potatoes and
the fertilizers employed should con-
tain high percentage of potash. The
main crop of Irish potatoes for family
use should be grown elsewhere, but
q small area of early ones properly
belongs in the home garden. The
preparation of the soil should be the
same as for general garden crops.
Early potatoes should be planted as
soon in the spring as 1t is feasible to
work the land, irrespective of locality.
Late potatoes are extensively grown
in the North, and the planting should
be done late in May or during June.
The rows should be not less than 9
feet apart and the hills u to 10
inches apart in the row. Lay off the
rows with a 1-horse plow or lister

. Another way to avoid the turned-up
corners of rugs is to sew a pocket Of
some cheap material on the underside
of each corner; then slip in piece Of
tin, which you can have cut the ex-
act size at hardware store. The
corners cannot curl.
The Care of Mating.
The broom, even the covered one, is
not good for mating, and neither is
the frequent use of the wet cloth. The
carpet-sweeper, used across the grain,
is better; and the vacuum-cleaner Is,
of course, best of all. But in be-
tween the latter two comes the hearth
brush, which is life-preserver to the
mating and a labor-saver to the
housewOrker. To 60 over a mating
covered room with a dustpan and one
of these brushes is matter of only
8 few minutes. These soft-hair
bw,lshes, thus used, raise little dust;
they keep the mating and the cor
nsrs in proper condition, and they do
not roughen and injure lhe matting's
surface. Another merit is that they
may be washed without iniury If they
are quickly dried.
To Lay Straw Mating Smoothly
This is hard thing to do as the
cheaper grades are likely to get
wrinkled and to wear in ridges.
When you put the mating down, get
it as smooth as possible; then, with
pail of hot water, to which cupful
Of common salt has been added, mop
and wash the mating as. if it were
dirty Use the salt water freely, renew
ing often enough to keep it hot. Wash
with the grain of the mating, and
leave it quite damp. In drying, the
mating will shrink into place. The
salt toughens the straw and prevents
it from breaking.

CHAPTER K.
"Weston! Hey, there I"


Mark, who was sitting at the en-.
trance of the tent which he shared
with five other privates Of the Medical
corps, looked up at the sound Of the
name to which he had grown accus-
toned. At the sight of the corporal
who had hailed him, he flung down the
grooved strip of metal, known as the
soldiers friend" with the aid of
which he had been polishing his but
tons, and hurried Obediently forward.
'The trains in from the base with
the sisters and doctors to meet the
convoy that we're expecting from the
front. Every mans on duty until the
jobs finished. Report to the matron
with Hartley"
Mark nodded, and departed at run
toward the door Of the base hospital,
at which the matron, fidgeting impa-
tiently, was awaiting the assembling
of the orderlies.
1t was war, and the echoes Of the
far distant guns were all about them
daily, though war had never passed
that way.

A new creation that London calls "a
flame gown" is a wonderful draping Of
crepe de chine. The lower part of the
gown is of deep flame pink, which
fades in color to the top of the gown
until it is of the softest pink that is
almost white, just like a flame on

~ uT of this present war there has,
d SO far, resulted nothing more
thrilling, more inspiring, than the
founding-by Bohemia, Morava
Sovakia and part of Siesia-of the
Republic of Czecho-S Sovakia. Only two
things, during ages of suffering and dis
heartenment, kept the Czech and Slav
peoples from losing all racial identity and
becoming Germanized; and these two things
were, first, the passionate loyalty of a cult
ured people to it's own traditions it's own
art and literature and language, it's dream
of freedom from Austria; and second.
the fact that this loyalty, instead of ending
in mere talk and vaporings, afforded
opportunity of expression
In 1862 DR.. Miroslav Tyrs, a Bohemian
patriot, realizing that love Of race must
take form in deeds or it will die; and per-
ceiving too that his people (denied an
army and mi-paralyzed by generations of
oppression) were becoming physically
torpid and fabby, thus rendering them
selves helpless even if their opportunity
for freedom ever came, threw himself into
the task of helping the Czech race to re-
cover and maintain it's former physical
hardihood so that it should not perish from
the earth
Choosing the falcon, or "Sokol"-for it's
keenness, agility and trained energy-as
the name and symbol for system of viii
lage gymnastic societies, Tyrs set about
founding these "Sokol" societies in, Prague.
Bohemia, in 1862 The idea appealed at
once; not only to the Czech race (the b.
hemans), but to all the Slav races as we'll;
since in every Slav tongue the word "Sokol"
meant the falcon: emblem Of alertness and
clean-cut vigor.
