VIII Wheat Go To ss.sn2

This is the heading of on article
in the Kansas City Star, written by
a large wheat grower.
He thinks it will bring that price
if held till February 1, 1920. He says
the millers are paying now above the
guarantee price, some going as high
as $1.95, and they would not do this
if they figured they were going to get
it any cheaper within thirty days.
The prices are at terminal points of
course and are for wheat that will
grade No. 2.
He advises that the farmers do not
rush their wheat to market and thus
cause congestion and a consequent
drop in the price.

Christians, while 100000 represent
the nom Christians or so-called wild
tribes. The latter, however, are in
cluded in the population Of which 10
per cent are literate.
The percentage Of literacy in the
Philippines, as shown by the census
just completed, is almost as high as
that of some of the Southern states
Of the union, higher than that Of
Greece, Italy, Portugal, Roumania
and Servia. It is also higher than
that of any Of the new countries
whose independence is being recog-
nized by the allies.
1t is pointed out there is every reas
son for literacy of the Philippines
to be still higher within the next few
years, through the action of the Phil
ippine legislature at its last session
in voting 9SO,OOO,OO0 pesos to ex-
tend the educational system so that
schools will be available for every
chlld and youth IN the Philippines.
Between 1912 and 1918 the total
number of children in school increas-
ed from 100000 to $4,000, a gain
of Sd per cent.
The Philippine legislature, COM
posed entirely of Filipinos, now sup
ports 400 schools, with a teaching
force of 12,303 teachers. All in
struction is in English, and will con-
tinue to be if independence is grant
ed, A large number of additional
American teachers are to be employ
ed and sent to the Philippines with
in the next year. All the expense of
education is being paid by the Phil
ippine Government.

Early Formal Gardening.

In the sixteenth century, formal
gardening was carried to a very high
pitch. In England, many fine new
country houses were being built on
scale unknown before, and gardens,
fit to act as their setting, were being
laid out round them. The importance
Of the place which both domestic
architecture and gardening, or rather
the designing and laying out of gar.
dens, occupied In men's thoughts IL
shown by the fact that such a man
as Lord Bacon wrote an essay on both
subjects. Nor was his essay by any
means an isolated instance. A CEN
fury or so later, John Evelyn devoted
much attention to and wrote great
deal on the same subject, and there
are a host Of lesser writer's on gar.
dens such as Gervase Markham and
some Of his friends.

TrIunDhe Of Youth.

History Ii full Of what youth can
do. David was mere STRIPPING with
rosy cheeks when he slew the great
giant. Alexander was scarcely more
than a boy when he crossed the
Hellespont and fought his way to al
most universal empire. Newton was
only twenty-three when he made dis
coverIeS that have revolutionized sci
ence. Athanasius was young man
when he became the leading advocate
of the Doctrine OF the Divinity Of
Christ at the great council of Nice.
Luther was only twenty-four when he
led In the great attacks of the Ger
man reformation. His years were no
barrier to vision, for he saw the need
of educational freedom which has re-
suited in the modern public school.
So the list might be enlarged adding
an increasing emphasis on the powers
of youth.

Very few BuitOrs had ever passed
up the winding path. There was
something frosty. in the air at the
FenwAys'; something that nipped ro-
nance in the bud. SO Rodney Al
Ian expressed 1t, the first and only
time he ever asked Katherine to mar

"She thinks there's a Fenway with
wings right beside ST. Peter. I'd like
to see the pride taken out Of her, all
right"
But Katherine went serene1y on
through her 'twenties without ap-
parently regretting her position as the
prize maiden lady of the little Maine
town. She had plenty Of money, an
assured position, and all the old doc
tor left her. Life had run in serene
channels until the war fame reached
America. Rodney had organized the
irst volunteer company that went
down the coast. She heard he was
a captain, and his sisters smiled at
her in church in a sort of triumphant
way for having missed such chance.
He was in the hall tonight, decorat-
ed and handsome, with one Of the
Halsey girls beside him. Evelyn, the
prettiest one. Katherine heard some
one say they were engaged, and sud-
denly she realized that all Of. the
girls and friends of her own glrlhood
had some special soldier to welcome
and cling to. Her straight, dark
brows drew together slightly, and
she drew her fur cloak closer around
her. 1t was chilly in the back Of the
hall. She heard a window close two
seats behind her, and glanced back
to see who had noticed her dlscom-
fort.
he was a stranger to her, a. tan,

DIAMONDS FOR THE GIRL

An Investment.

Diamonds, that have for years
been recognized as the proper caper
whe ma betrothal is ODE sealed, and
that have been looked upon as a good
object in which to invest surplus
funds, are advancing in price.
Even in bhghted Germany, says
the st. Louis Star, the demand is ex-
ceeding all bounds, and a leading jew
eler says they must go to 100000 a
karat in the near future.
"Be that as it may" said another
jeweler, ct is going to be hard to
convince every one of the value of
diamonds as an investment. For
popping the question they will always
remain eminently the correct thing.
"But with the United States Gov
eminent offering War Savings Stamp
on the terms it is doing now, and
with the Governments guarantee to
pay four percent compounded quar-
