PERFECTION NOT OFTEN SEEN
Assertion Made That Not Ono Person
In Ten Thousand Is Abso-
Iutely Sane.

Perfect health of mind and body are
both exceedingly rare. Not one "civi-
lized" person out Of ten thousand is
perfectly healthy. Not one civilized
person out Of ten thousand is perfectly
sane. That is to say, absolutely level
headed in all respects, not attaching
undue importance to his own hobby,
and with no prejudices against new
ideas able to appreciate the other side
of the question and to change his
ideas when he is convinced that he is
wrong.
Sanity has been defined as "the abil-
ity to accommodate oneself to ones
environment" Not bad definition.
Those who decry the manners and
customs Of other races or people,
merely becaus e they are different from
their own are not entirely sane.-Los

GARDEN AND TRUCK PATCHES
Most Intenslvely Worked Spots on
Farm and Contribute Greatly to
Farmers Income.

The most intensively-worked field on
the farm, say specialists Of the United
states department Of agriculture, Is
the garden. For convenience it is
usually located close to the dwelling.
Many farmers have, in addition, truck
patches in fields where intertilled
crops, such as corn, are grown. These
patches are conveniently plowed, pre-
pared, and cultivated at the same time
the ground is worked for the regular
crop. In the truck patch potatoes,
sweet corn, cabbage, tomatoes, squash,
and cucumbers are usually raised.
Vegetables constitute only about IL
per cent in value Of all food consumed
by farmers, and ABOUT 80 per, cent OF
the vegetables are furnished by the
farm. In general, Irish potatoes are
easily the most important vegetable
raised, constituting nearly one-half
the value Of all vegetables consumed.
In the South, however, about twice
as many sweet potatoes as Irish pota-
toes are used.

Day for lntrospection.

Americans could not these days do
better than commune with their own
past and make the acquaintance Of
the nations heroes. The memory Of
the boy who died at Shiloh, or at
Chateau Thierry is worth more to the
nation than all the teaching Of all the
cubist social reformers. For those
bows did something, set an example,
and built their lives into the life Of
the country. Unknown their names
may be, but they are immortal. and
their sacrifice Is part of the Inherit
ance Of every American, and should
be precious. We found America in
the environments and on the battlefield,
and not in a dirty Bohemia. Surely,
Memorial day will carry some such
message as this to every loyal heart
and every clear-thinking mind. 1t
ought to be reverently observed, with
a grateful sense of Gods mercies to
this land which has meant, and still
means, so much to the world. 'Thank
God" said Daniel Webster in his
speech on the completion of the
Bunker Hill monument, IL also

QUICKLY PERlSHABLE CROPS
Difficult to Form Any Reliable Judg-
ment for Marketing Berries,
Melons and Peaches.

It is particularly difficult to form
any reliable market judgment for
quickly perishable, short-season crops
like strawberries, peaches, and melons,
says the United States department of
agriculture. Markets in such lines are
irregular, differing widely at the same
time in different cities because the ma
ture of the crop does not admit OF
safe transfer between distant points
and does not allow long keeping in
cold storage. These lines feel quickly
and severely the effect of oversupply,
whether of car lots or from neighbor-
ing sources. As these crops are not
strictly necessities, the demand is
somewhat uncertain, depending large
~ upon the buying power Of the pub
lie, which may vary greatly from sea-
son to season. - SO .. r

Potatoes are important in the diet,
and early potatoes from home gardens
are especially appetizing. 1t may not
pay to crowd out the more intensive
early potatoes, but wherever space
will permit at least one peck Of seed
should be planted. A good plan is to
plant late sugar corn between the po-
tatoes about the time the potato vines
begin to show signs of rlpening. Then
as the potatoes are dug, hoe the soil
around the corn. Late cabbage plants
are often set between the potatoes
and crop Of cabbage is produced
after the potatoes are removed. It al
ways pays to keep the land working.

Notice the fruit trees carefully. See

came to 04 cents for each application.
Farmers have decided that this Is
cheap protection against a very serl-
GUS, disease, and it is believed certain
that spraying will soon be recognized
as a necessary step in good melon
culture.
Spread Of Disease.
Last season favored the spread OF
the disease. Severe rainy weather
was experienced at one time or an
other during the growing season all
over the melon belt, and moist
weather with driving rains made 1t
possible for this disease to spread
through the fields. Cars arrived at
the New York market with 80 to 80
per cent Of the melons affected, the
sunken, decayed spots on the rind be-
ing so numerous that In some in
stances the entire surface Of the
melon was affected.

. IN CHILDISH Love
Flowers Were Laid on Graves of
Soldiers in 1865.
Old Chronicles Credit John Redpath
With Idea That Led to the Pres.
:. ent Beautiful Custom of Me-
mortal Day.

In the early part of April, 1865, a
man named John Redpath was acting
as superintendent Of schools in the
city of Charleston, S. G. John Red
path was newspaper reporter with
the Northern armies during the Civil
war. and had been with General Sher-
man on his march to the sea, sending
out the first newspaper report Of the
surrender of the city Of Charleston.
He was man very much interested
In education; that was why he was
trying to better school conditions,
which, after four years of the Civil
war. were very bad. There was one
school in which he was particularly
interested, which was conducted in an
old church.
As he walked to this school one
morning he went past a place that
had been famous as race course,
but was now used as q cemetery for
the soldiers who had died in battle.
He looked over the fence of the ceme-
terry, and it made his heart sad to see
the way the graves of the brave men
were neglected. He wished that some
thing might be done for them.
When he reached the school he ad-
dressed the children, telling them that
it made him unhappy to see the badly
cared-for graves, and asking them to
try to find time to gather a few wild
flowers for the cemetery.
"We'll gather armfuls Of posies, and
just hide the graves from sight-so
that they'll never look bad again." one
little pupil cried.

And beneath a cloudless heaven
Twinkled a thousand bayonets;
And the swords were thirty-seven.
And Of the thousand bayonets
Two hundred march today;
Hundreds lie in Virginian swamps
And hundreds In Maryland clay;
And other hundreds, less happily, drag
Their shattered limbs around
And envy the Deep calm, blessed sleep
or the battlefields holy ground.
AS for us-one night a week ago
Our remnant, just eleven,
Gathered around a. banquet1ng Doaro
With seats for thirty-seven;
There were two limped in on crutches
And two had each but hand
To pour the wine and raise the cup
AS we toasted "Our Flag and Land!'
And the room seemed filled with whis-
pers
AS we looked at the vacant seats,
And with choking threats we pushed
aside
The rich but untasted meats.
Then in silence we brimmed our glasses
And rose up-just eleven,
And bowed as we drank to the loved and
the dead
Who had made US thirty-seven!
