camp. Muriel told him, very decidedly,
they were not. But when the young
officer proposed that they meet on
boulder path at two the following af-
ternoon she agreed to try.
Muriel walked rather slowly and
thoughtfully down the path at the ap-
pointed hour. Quite against her will.
she liked the handsome young officer.
The flush which so often flooded his
tanned cheeks seemed to absolve him
from the vanity of the merely hand
some man.
It had been great fun to keep him
on string" Then. no woman. how
ever young. really enjoys cOnfessing to
more years than appear to be hers.
But the head counselor had decided.
by the time she drew close to the place
designated for the meeting. that she
would do that very thing.
Aikens was sitting on rock when
Muriel came into sight. He arose and
greeted her. "Miss Brown, was
wrong to ask you to meet me here
clandestinely, but there is something
l want to tell you where no one can
overhear."
"Why, this is interesting" said
Muriel; you nave something to tell
me and have confession to make
to you. Let's sit, down. You talk
first"
Ensign Aiken, after a moments hesi-
tation, proceeded. "YOu know Jack
Hart in Akron?"
II certainly do"
"Well. there is where saw your
picture"
The girl seemed about to speak, but
Aikens kept on: 1T was in Jacks
room. One of q row across the man
tel, third from the left. He had q
ouija board there that afternoon try
ing to get some dope on one of the
championship ball games. Jacks a
queer duck"-Aikens smiled-"wanted
me to try it. So asked it the usual
stock question, Whom would marryT
and-I swear hadn't even glanced at
the photographs on the shelf-the
thing spelled out Third girl from left,
on the mantel.' Then, of course, 1
quizzed Jack to find out something
about the girl in the picture, for it
looked mighty good to me. But he
wouldn't give me a hint who she was.
Said it would be test of the powers
of the board, and I was to let him
know if ever met her. I've been look
ing for year. And now when I've
found you I'm not even allowed to
CALI"
Muriel had listened with mixed
emotions. II have no faith whatever
in ouija boards, Mr.. Aikens," she said,
"but you may call. You see, you Ia
bored under a mistake and I-well, I
Just let you. am not one Of the camp
girls, but the head counselor. My SIS
ter and myself run the camp. We
don't take girls over twenty-and I'm
years and years more than that. I'm
twenty-five"
"And Pm twenty-six. Now, don't
tell me I don't look it, for that's the
cross Of my life," returned the ensign.
Muriel arose and moved away. II
must go back to my charges"
"But when may call?" queried En-
sign Richard Aikens, as the girl started
up the path.
Muriel did not answer till she came
to large boulder, around which she
must pass.
ASK the ouija board" she called out
and ran laughing up the path, camp

When the news reached Camp Sc
gatchie that a junior naval reserve
station was to be located near by
Muriel Brown, the head camp coun-
selor, sighed audibly and remarked to
her coworkers: well earn our keep
this year, girls. What chance have
sports and crafts with couple OF hum
dred or more uniformed youths not
two miles away? Every girl will have
one eye on the tennis ball and the 9TH
er wandering into the dim distance
after a potential speck Of white!"
Bertha, Muriel's eldest sister and
the business manager of Sagatchie
Camp for Girls, paused in her task Of
arranging simple furniture In an A
tent. "Cheer up, sis; there will, per-
force, have to be grown-up uniforms in
charge. Perhaps they will give some
dances. Those naval men dance like
dreams, toO."
"M-m-m; maybe so. But l prefer
dreams in my own little hammock,
thank you, after a strenuous days
work in the open." returned Muriel.
There were 80 girls at the camp that
year. ranging from fifteen to eighteen
years old. Clad exactly alike in khaki
bloomer suits with black sailor ties,
the little company set out one morning
for the daily hike. Muriel was walk
ing ahead with Miss Holden, an as
sistant counselor, when, without warn
ing, there appeared over a rise OF
ground squad of white-clad sailor
lads commanded by young officer,

and yellow trefoil grow, it is unneces-.
sary to inoculate for alfalfa.
Soil Should Be Neutral.
The soil should be neutral in order
that the alfalfa bacteria may thrive,
and unless the soil conditions are gen.
orally good it is impossible to grow
alfalfa on a commercial scale.
Quite commonly the farmer secures
his inoculation material from an old
sweet clover or bur clover field, or else
from an old alfalfa sod, applying the
!noculated soil on cloudy day or dur
Ing the evening in order that the al
falfa bacteria may not be injured by
the bright sunlight. Investigations
have shown, however, that there is
less danger Of permanently injuring
the alfalfa bacteria by sunlight than
was formerly supposed, and although
It is not advisable to court trouble by
needlessly exposing incubation mate
rial, this dirt, if necessary, can bear
sunlight for several hours without
severe injury.
NoduIes Are Essential.
It is essential that the soil, if taken
: from old alfalfa fields, should be from
those plots where the alfalfa plants
show numerous nodules upon their
roots. Such soil, we'll dried, pulver-
lied, and sifted through window
screen, is best applied to the new field
through the fertilizer attachment Of
q grain drill, by the use of lime
spreader followed by smoothing har-
row, or by distributing it with the
aid of an end gate sower attached to
a wagon box. Two hundred pounds
or more of sifted field soil will be
sufficient for an acre. It is neces-
sary in obtaining the material to re-
move from the surface 2 or 3 inches
of soil and to obtain the inoculating
material from the underlying 6 or z
inches. Broadcasting the soil by hand
requires a larger quantity and is best
done in the early morning, late eve
ming, or on cloudy days in order to
minimize the damage effected by the
suns rays.
The glue method OF tnocuiatfon was
widely practiced several years ago in
Illinois. 1t consists of moistening the
! alfalfa seed with ordinary furniture
glue and then sprinkling inoculated
soil over it so that the soil will adhere
to the seed and carry the bacteria on
to the new field. Specifically, this
! method consists in dissolving two
handfuls of glue for every gallon of
| boiling water and then allowing the
solution to cool. Then the seed should
be placed in q washtub and enough Of
the solution sprinkled over the seed
to moisten it, but not enough to wet
| the seed, one quart to the bushel usu-
ally being adequate. The soil from
the inoculated field should be dried in
the shade, pulverized into a fine dust
and scattered uniformly over the seed
from one-half to one gallon Of dirt BE-

Red Cross of Many Nations
Confer On Plans for
World Betterment

The governments of the five great
powers represented on the commit
tee now working at Cannes have
been kept fully informed of the
progress of the plan and are in en-
tire sympathy with its aims. As a
majority of the other nations of the
world have Red Cross organizations
or relief societies which function
along Red Cross lines, it is believed
that their governments will follow
the lead of Great Britain, France,
Italy, Japan and the United States.
The international committee of
the Red Cross at Geneva-the
parent of the Red Cross societies
OF the worlds the organization
through which the various Red
Cross bodies will be kept apprised
Of important developments and dis
coveries. A permanent organization,
including staff of the worlds
recognized health experts, is to be
maintained at Geneva following the
world congress.
The international committee Of
the Red Cross of Geneva was or
ganized in 1868, being the realization
of the idea conceived by Henry
Dunant of ministering to wounded
, soldiers on the battlefield. The
splendid work of this committee
during the recent conflict forms one
OF the most inspiring chapters Of the
wars history. The fact that not a
single protest was made by belli-
gerent or neutral testifies to the
high character of the international
committees work. Gustav Ador,
president of Switzerland, has been
at the head of the committee and
one of the most enthusiastic work.
ers for great many years.
Of the Red Cross societies of the
various countries that are expected
to join the great health alliance none
can approach in strength of num-
bers and thoroughness of organiza-
ton the American Red Cross. Be-
cause of it's wonderful achievements
III the world war, the Red Cross So
cieties of other countries have &C.
corded leadership in the world
movement to the organization from
the United States. The selection of
Mr.. Dawson to head the committee
at Cannes was graceful recognition
of the pre-eminence of the Ameri-
can Red Cross in relief work.
