Why are the states called "sover-

Because they had all the sovereign
power when the federal constitution
was formed, and conferred upon the
federal government all of the power
it has.
How are state laws initiated, by
the governor or legislature?
State laws are initiated by the leg
islature, by either house, and reach
es the governor for ratification or
veto only after having passed through
both houses of the legislature.
How often do state legislatures
meet?
The majority of the state legisla-

odd years, but in six states, includ-
ing Georgia, they meet every year,
and in one state, Alabama, every
four years.

My husband was perverse, that
was plain. | wanted him to make
up our quarrel. 1t was his turn to
do so. I could think of nothing else.
/ expected him to love me so much
that he would break through his own
pride and come to me. Unless he
came because he couldn't stay away
another hour, how could I be sure
that he cared for me-in the way
he had once cared?
1t seemebd to me as we strolled
through the fragrant paths of the
garden that Bob was proceeding as
if we hadn't any quarrel to make up!
I tried to hold my tongue, but in
spite of my resolve, I began the US
ual harangue of the jealous wife
different in detail, in vocabulary,
and intensity, but true to form in
topic since cave-wives first scolded :
81 suppose lot of men are mere
ly nice to silly women just as they
are nice to children-and-and-kit-
tens" l ventured.
"Jane, you're jealous again-and
about nothing-as usual! I'm get
ting pretty tired of it! Pm not
going to explain this time because
there's not a thing to explain"
"Um-m-m! The remark sounds
familiar I ventured.
"You mean I've said it before?"

"Tn never say it again" came in
short tone, We walked in silence
for five minutes.
"Bob, I can live away from you,
in some kind of content, perhaps
But l never can live near you I'M
less there is peace between us" I ex-
claimed desperately.
"Who is destroying our peace, I'd
like to know? Believe me, I'll do
my share to preserve it, Jane, on
condition that we never discuss this
kind of a subject again."
"Definitely, I suppose you mean
that I must not talk about Katherine

too wildly, perhaps, and said I'M

We chatted about her initiation

announced that the auto was ready.
Come on, Janew he said, after
he had helped Katherine into her

in the half hour it would take to
tramp home through the park of his
fathers estate.
But l found Bob didn't intend to

"Let's go around by the lily pool

WHEN grandpa plays with me, he puts
" His horse-leg crost his other foots
And sit on his shoe a-stradde,
Just like thought it a saddle
And then give his leg slap
And grab his hands and say "Giddap!'
And make him gallop, trot and run,
While mama's gettin' dinner done.
And when my grandpa plays with me,
He makes car-seat on his knee
And bumps and shakes and goes "Choo choo!
Just like the and engines do,
And wells out 'Tickets!" loud and plain,
Just like the does the train
And then hug him like bear,
Cause that's the way pay my fare.
When grandpa plays with me-ooh my!
He swings me up so hgh-so high

And it is such funny feel
That just laugh until squeal

LOGGING DOWN RYE uNwIsE
Practice Is UnprofitabIe, According to Pork Production Tests at the
 Ohio Station.

Hogging down rye Is an unprofitable practice, according to tests made in pork production at the Ohio expert ment station. The tests show thnt 1t is generally more profitable to harvest the grain and sell 1t as a cash crop or to feed the grain to hogs after thrash ing rather than to allow the hogs to harvest the grain themselves.
 Specialists point out that the daily increase per pig when hogging down rye is generally less than half pound md that the amount of grain required to produce 100 pounds of gain is much higher than where the grain is fed di- rectly to the hogs. As a rule, about 611 pounds of rye, hogged down, were required to produce 100 pounds of gain, whereas hogs fed on corn with tankage and clover pasture required but 331 pounds of concentrates to pro duce the same amount of gain.
 The unprofitableness of hogging down rye is attributed to the fact that hogs are either unable to secure rye in sufficient quantities or are inclined to eat only slightly more than is re quired for maintenance.

HALL OF FAME FOR TREES
Many Historic Perennial Plants Have Been Nominated for Place Ia
 Institution.

"The great Tree on Boston Common, !" and 'sThe Green Tree Hotel" at Le- Claire. Ta., the most famous tree on the Mississippi river. have been nominated for place in the "haII of fame for big trees," being compiled by the American Forestry association.
 The great tree on Boston Common was blown down in storm February I5, 1918 the centennial of the year in which the colonists gathered around the tree and started for Lexington to give battle to the British.
 The Green Tree hotel at LeClaire is we'll known on the Mississippi river, because to the river men 1t was the waiting place of men out of job and looking for a trip. Therefore they. gave 1t the name of the Green Tree hotel. It Is considered to be 12O years old.
 Other nominations for the hall of fame include the De Soto Oak at Tampa, Fla, from which De Soto start ed for the Mississippi and the West; the octopus tree, in Charles City coun- ty, Virginia, the largest and oldest tree in the state; the two oaks at Marlin town. W. Va, marked in 1751 by Gen. Andrew Lewis; the fullest tree in the Balkans at Podgoritza, nominated by the Red Cross, which had headQuar- ters near 1t during the war.

ToPIARY REvIvEs IN ENGLAND
Trees Shaped as PeaeooIss Are Old curlosltlss, and Many othera
 ArO BeIna Formed.

Travellers on the great hiRhway which leads through StaInes by the belfont church can see two ancient yew trees cunningly trained and clipped to represent peacocks, which stand on either side of the wicket gate.
 They are large trees, ages old, and how many years of care and skill with the pruning knife they stand for none can tell. These are. perhaps, the most familiar examples of the topiarists' art near the metropolis, but in formal gar dens of many stately old country houses their like may be seen in abun- dance. They are accepted as curiosi. ties. survivals of times past when men had more leisure on their hands than today.
 The shaping of living trees into birds and beasts of prey, into spiraIs, pillars. cannon balls, and any other fantasy chosen, still exists as British industry. In the Royal Kew nurseries, close by Richmond town, is the largest collection of topiary in the world nearly 5000 trees. each one of them trimmed to some animal or bird or architectural form. The work has been done in this open studio. and 1t has required exemplary patience. The trou- ble about establishing a formal gar den in years past has been that you do not live to see It. The next gen. eration may enjoy 1t; but with forms that take 40 or 50. even in some cases 80, years to bring to maturity, 1t Is only the grandchildren who can hope to witness their full perfection.-Lon- don Daily Telegraph.

For all practical purpose butter milk has about the same feeding value for hogs as Skim milk, although 1t Is slightly lower in protein, carbOhydrateS ,nd fat than skim milk. Being high in disestible protein and rich in mineral niatter,. especially calcium and ph0sl- phorus. butterrnilk is admirably suited for growing pigs, brood sOws and breeding boars.
