ONE SHOULD PRODUCE
HIS OWN CABBAGE PLANTS

Grow your own cabbage plants, adj
vises Miss Ola OVERLY, garden spe-
cialist, extension division, Louisiana
State University. The old-time meth
cd of purchasing frost-proof plants
from various sources for early spring
heading is dangerous owing to the
introduction of disease called cab
bage yellows." Once the soil is in
fected with this disease, she says, it
is impossible to grow cabbages on the
same land for several years.
"The only safe recourse open to the
cabbage grower is to produce his own
plants" says Miss OVERLY. "The
seeds should be planted in coldframes
in November for the production of
frost-proof plants. In making cold
frame use soil that is free from dis
ease. Plant the seeds in the cold
frames in drills six to eight inches
apart so that cultivation may be Civ
en-. The plants should not grow rap
idly, but steadily. Sufficient protec-
ton from freezing should be given
so as to promote a, normal growth.
The little plants in the coldframe
should have light and air whenever
the weather conditions permit.
with good seeds and proper care
the grower viii be able to produce
hardy plants, free from disease and
ready for outdoor setting as early
as the season permits"

SURGEON GENERAL BLUES
RECENT PROCLAMATION

The following proclamation has
been issued from Washington by
Rupert Blue, surgeon general Of the
United States public health service:
cover 10000 Americans die an
nually from tuberculosis. This is an
appalling waste Of life when we con-
slider that tuberculosis is classed as a
durable, preventable disease; more
over, because this loss Of life occurs
almost entirely in the ranks of the
young adult population, health au-
thorities the world over have come to
consider the control Of tuberculosis
as still the most pressing health prob
lem confronting them.

MAKING CHRISTIANS
BY STEREOPTICON
Missionaries Reach Many Wo-
men of East by Means of
Pictures

The stereopticon and moving pic
ture screen and the wall picture have
been found to be one of the best
means of outstanding the women
of the Orient, according to reports re-
ceived from American foreign mis-
sionaries by the Inter-Church World
Movement, whose national headquar-
tiers are in New York City.
The value of the pictorial feature
of evangelistic work in the Orient
has in the fact that it enables mis-
sionaries to reach women who can not
read or write and 80 per cent of ORR
entail women are said to be illiterate.
Moreover, the best subjects are the
, old Biblical pictures, because they
need little explanation, their settings
and costumes corresponding with the
scenes to which the women of the
East are accustomed. This sense of
familiarity overcomes the feeling that
Christianity is an alien religion, i'm
ported from a country of which she
knows nothing.
The introduction of "stilr' Biblical
pictures in Chinese homes is another
means of reaching the women and is
especially easy because of the bare
ness of the walls of the average Chin
csc house.

can women, headed by Miss Mary l.
Jones, we'll known Baptist mission.

WHEN IS A cowa

When is a painted cow a scrub"
and when is art art? Has the new de-
mand for efficiency in the dairy gone
to the length of censoring our mural
decorators? Americans may be in
the midst of new revolution without
knowing it, involving palette, brush
and the popular judgment on pic
lures.
An artist exhibited at recent fair
at Minneapolis some paintings Of cat
tie, which to the average tutored
mind were acceptable representa-
tions. They were Jerseys, intended
as Jerseys, recognized popularity as
Jerseys. Which should have been
enough.
But along came a dairyman, trained
in the appreciation Of butter-fat, TO
whom cow is a COW, an object Of
profit rather than Of beauty. The
dairyman protested. Those artist
cows, he said, would be condemned
by any self-respecting city-bred in
spector in America. They wouldn't
even pay for their board. No up-to-
date farmer would give them stan
chion space. Scrubs, all scrubs!
Rural opinion, even when it con.
dennis the accepted tenets Of art, car
not be ignored in these days Of cut
numbered producers; so the dairy
mans protest is referred hencefortl
for exhibition at the Minneapolis faii
win have to pass the censorship o
man whose matinl familiarity witt
milk givers best fits them to tell whel
a cows a COW. When arts art ma
be another question, and it may no
be we pass it up.-Cleveland (0hiO

GAME WITH ALUMNI
IS HOTLY CONTESTED
Clash Between Friends School

suits in Victory for Former.

The clash between the Friends School
regulars and the Alumni IN the Friends
gym, was the most fiercely contested
Alumni game in recent years Taylor,
Speakman and Finn were in excellent
condition from college training and Hall
from recent army service For forty
minutes they kept up fast, aggressive
game so that at no time did they appear to
lag from exhaustion, as is usual with the
"has bcens" Their team play, too. was
excellent Speakman and Finn broke
through the varsity defense for sensa-
tional dribbles and difficult shots. Hall
WAS n tower of strength ut defense and
kept Mode, who Is usually hard TO guard,
effectively covered.
The Friends defense WAS considerably
improved For the first eight minutes of
play the Alumni were held scoreless,
while the varsity ran up five points
Then the regulars seemed To get mixed
and excited They failed to cover closely
and Finn netted the first basket, followed
Immediately by dash and shot by Speak
man. A foul point tied the score. The
score then varied back and forward until
at the end Of tho first half the Alumni
held the long end OF 4 | 4 10 - score.
With the beginning Of the second half
the varsity took tho lead and kept q safe
margin Of about four points throughout
the half Near the cloae of the half Mode
netted ono from difficult angle and closed
the scoring, the final result being . to 20
In favor Of Friends
Friends showed lack Of accuracy in
shooting and missed Lackey at the foul
line as they only succeeded in scoring q
out Of II tries Stirling, who took his
place at forward, futnbled frequently.

in the varsity lii q up, shows promise with
practice Of becoming an excellent player.
