4 WOMAN IN THE CABINET.

The report that President-eect Harding is likely
to appoint woman to sit in his cabinet, at the
head of a newly, constituted department of educa'
ton, will be shock to that element that always
held that women should stay at home and bake the
bread and mind the children.
But the good politician recognizes women now
have at least 100000 votes. Their point of view
is not precisely the that of men. They have
somewhat different ideals public man who
does not make effort conform to those ideals
so far as he can, is going to run up against abig
handicap.
The bulk of the education work in this country
is being performed by women A woman secretary
of education would know the soul of American
schools quite as well any man. Also she could
throw light the reactions of the woman vote to
the methods of made politics.

Wiggily in the hollow stump bum

said this, the bunny rabbit gentle
man caught up his tall, silk hat
from the chair, and held it over
his pink, twinkling nose,
"Why, whatever is the matter,

looked around and saw nothing to
cause any fright. "Why should

Wiggily. at is getting louder and

Jane, and hold your apron over

NONSENSE" laughed Miss Nurse
Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, and Uncle Wig
gily looked at her in such surprise
that he forgot to twinkle his pink
nose. Those aren't bees--that
hummlng sound isn't made by any
stinging bees said Nurse Jane.
''Who did make the noise then ?"
asked Uncle Wiggily.
"Neddie Stubtail, the bear boy"
answered Nurse Jane. Hes out
in front, spinning his Christmas
top, and it is that top buzzing you
heard. Here, come and look at
Neddie."
Uncle Wiggily peered through
the window and, surely enough,
out in front of the bungalow was
the little Stubtail chap. Really,
with winter at hand, Neddie should
have been taking his long sleep

Yes, you have a very nice top,

it was.
Neddie kept on spinning his top,
and Uncle Wiggily taking his red,

you may help me find one"

Neddie. He stuffed his top inside

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE

Chicago. Dec. 30.--Wheat prices
climbed today to the highest point
reached in the last three weeks.
improved domestic milling demand
was the chief bullish factor The

X c to &c down, oats off nc to "a c
and provisions at a. setback of sc
to 12c.
Notwithstanding some hesitancy
due to adverse industrial develop
ments bulls soon took control of
the wheat market and held sway
until near the end of the 81 sion.
Signs of increased call for milling
interests attracted the lions share
of notice, as opinions were current
that flour stocks were low and that
the bulk of wheat Accommodations at
present in sight are owned by eN-
porters. The advance in wheat
prices, though, brought about at
tempts to realize profits. Late
selling pressure was induced also
by the bearish showing of the Bank
of England weekly statement and
by ten million bushels increase of
the estimated exportable surplus of
wheat in Argentina.
Month-end liquidation weakened
corn and oats after a moderate
upturn had taken place in SYM
patty with the wheat bulge.
Declines in the hog market had
a depressing effect on provisions.

THE CARE OF YOUR PLANTS.


Several of my readers have writ
ten about "aphides'' Cor plant lice),
asking me to write an article upon
getting rid of these little pests, so
the following is in answer to AN
ME FL, "A Constant Reader, y
"Selma," Young Housekeeper"
and m. +. D."
1t calls for eternal vigilance on
the part OF the housekeeper to
keep house plants free from these
parasites. AS is the case with
many things an ounce of proven
ton is worth a pound of cure.
Every new plant should be kept
scrupulously clean and at the first
sign Of infection should be quar-
antined" and treated with an in
sectiCide before the leaves begin
| to curl up and afford protection
to the lice.
The stems of ferns should be
washed frequently with soapsuds;
palms and rubber plants should
a $50 be given this treatment, In
fact, all plants are better for an
occa,iOnal bath OF this sort. Use
ordinary soap and a sponge or
piece Of cotton, and be sure to go
lunder the leaves as that is where
the insects hide.
Among the many remedies used
flor aphides are the tobacco de-
coctions, tobacco dust, Kerosene
emulsion, and whaleoil soap. The
latter is very good and is easily

a spray or in fumigation. The fol-
lowing treatment is excellent;
Tobacco Water-Pour a gallon of
boiling water over pound of to-
bacco stems and let it stand day,
Keeping it warm. Then strain and
use as a spray. After an hour
spray again, and dust with tobacco
dust Ohis can be bought. The
next day give the plant bath of
carbolc soap suds, followed by a
shower of tepid water.
To Use Whale-oil Soap--Dissolve
one pound of the soap in five gal
lions of hot water. Use this as a
spray. after which wash the stems
of the plants. 1t is frequently nee
essary to spray again on the day
following the first spraying, as the
insects sometimes recover from the
first treatment Three or four
sprayings indeed, are often neces-
sary to XIII them. The spray may
be applied with a garden syringe
or with whisk.
Home made soaps and good
laundry soaps are often as effect
i've as whale-oil soap, SO the house
Keeper need not despair If she is
not able to obtain the regular
whale-oil soap for her plants. The
following kerosene emulsion may

THE OLD YEAR.

The Old Years slipping out to sea
To join the years which used to be;
few more hours it has to last
And then with the remembered past
1t takes its place. with thousands more
Just like it which have gone before.
Some of us mourn its passing on
Others may smile when it has gone
And hopefully embrace the new.
Turning to it as humans do
Unto the friend who comes to bring
Them comfort for their Borrowing.
What is the cargo of a Year?
JOY, hope. success and doubt and fear,
Failure and victory and mirth,
The pain of death, the thrill of birth.
And gain and loss, ana each in turn
Some portion of it all shall earn.
Each of u.s. by his strength of will
Shall shape the year for good or i'll;
Save the inevitable blow
Which strikes the dearly loved ones low,
BY all we do and all we are
The year that comes we make or mar.
Within the year tonight that dies
The record of our service lies;
Unchanged through all that shall occur
This year shall tell the men we were;
And learn just what we dared to do.

was just going to nibble Uncle
Wiggily's ears when the boy bear
all of sudden, thought Of his
humming top. In an instant he
had wound it up and set it down
spinning behind the Skeezicks.
Buzz! Humm! Buzz" whined
the top.
Quickly the Skeezicks turned be-
fore he had a chance to nibble I'M
Gle Wiggily's ears. The Skeezicks
listened moment and then he
cried
ooh, the bees are after me! The
buzzing bees are here and they'll
sting me on the end of my soft
and tender nose! This is no place
for me, I'll nibble Uncle Wiggily's
ears some other time!"
And then, thinking Needless top
was q lot of buzzing, humrning bees
away ran the Skeezicks, not hurt
ing the bunny gentleman at all.
"Its good thing you had your
top, Neddie," said Mr.. Longears.
And when they reached the three

bought Neddie a chocolate lolly-
