For weeks a crowd of earnest young sters have been working hard to give to Phoenix people another program of real artistic merit. This will be the Enchanted Garden" to be given the 20th of May on the lawn of the Ander- son estate on North Seventh street. The arrangement of the lawn is so ideal that no scenery is needed except the palms and hedges which are already there. furnishing beautiful back ground for the performers,
 To fit into this ideal setting a pro- gram has been worked out-the first part of which is called 'The Enchanted Garden" in which some unique fea lures seldom will be shown. Besides the dancers who will take part, a num- Der of elves and fairies will flot back and forth underneath the trees and peep from behind the big palms. At the entrance of the garden larger fair ies will be stationed to welcome the guests.
 The performance will begin at p. m. The lighting effects will be in the hands of an expert as will also the music. From different parts of the gar den will come now and then sounds of music from unseen performers. Cos tunes simple and artistic will be worn for the classical numbers but for the character numbers-some elaborate things are being made-garments into whose decorations have gone thou sands and thousands of jewels, span gles, beads, etc.
 ''The Ballet De Farandole," the third part of the program, will present pie ture as daring and vivid in color effects and ornaments as ever characterized 9 Bakst ballet. The steps as well as the music are wild and weird. In this sec ton Miss Susan Merle Baldwin. a gifted pupil of Walter Hastings Olney of the xr-.~ queen of a Strolling band of gypsies. She has been chosen especially because of her dash and ability to act as we'll as sing.
 The performance will be given as a benefit for the Orphans home, and the little performers are united in their efforts to bring out as biz crowd as possible.
 The program is under the direction of Yua Sonstegard King, author and di-

cooperation with the Indiana Experi- ment Station. The disease-free seed gave an increased yield of 10 to 30 per cent above its competitor.
 Further results of the test seemed to prove that when corn was planted too thickly in hill or drill row it was more susceptible to disease than when better space was given it. In similar test at Bloomington, H., the disease-free seed gave an in- crease of 23 per cent over the other corn, which was selected for high germination only. At Hoopeston, H., the difference, measured in tons, ranged from 0.01 ton to Is tons in favor of the seed selected both for high germination and freedom from disease.
 The selection was based on the absence of discoloration in the ker- nels and cobs as indicating sound ness. Disease is indicated by brown discoloration at the butts of the ears and at the kernel tips and by decay in the cobs.

Preventing Fall Troubles
 in the Farm Poultry Flock

"
 One of the most common diseases of the farm poultry flock during the autumn is roup. This disease is ire quently found in damp, poorly ven tilated houses and is most often con- tracted by birds that are poorly de- veloped and of low vitality. Fowls of this type frequently get roup and are the means of spreading it throughout the flock. Obviously, prevention should consist of elimin- ating the weddings from the flock and providing a house that will be dry and free from drafts, but well ventilated.
 An additional prevention against this disease is the following: Add as much potassium permanganate as will remain on the surface of a dime to each gallon of drinking water and keep before the fowls. This acts as an antiseptic and will help to keep the birds in good condition. An at tempt to cure the individual of roup is not advisable, for, although in the majority of cases, there may be an apparent cure, the danger of rein lection is great, and frequently such birds cause the disease to spread throughout the flock. The safest policy is immediately to remove such birds from the flock and kill them as soon as they show the first symp- toms, recognized by watery dis charge from the nostrils or eyes.

A man bought a mink-lined overcoat for $500 in 1915. Two years later he sold the mink lining for $1,00O and replaced it with nutria for $15O. He wore it two years and sold the lining for $250, putting in muskrat lining that cost S55. In 1919 he sold this lining for $500, and still has the shell and $845 clear profit.

OUR FARMERS CORNER

i, Good kinds of green feeds for hens in winter, recommended by the Uni ted States Department of Agricul- ture, are sprouted oats, alfalfa meal, chopped alfalfa and clover hay, cab bages, and manget beets. Cabbages may be hung up in the poultry house; the beets are usually split and stuck on a nail on the side wall of the pen about foot above the floor to keep the feed clean. Keep oyster shells, grit, charcoal, and plenty of clean drinking water before the hens all the time.
 Ice harvested from ponds on the farm saves many dollars year to milk producers and provides the wherewithal for many home com forts. The United States Depart ment of Agriculture, in Farmers Bulletin 1O78, which may be had upon request, tells how to build an ice house in the slack fall season and how to store ice economically and securely. One and a half tons of ice properly stored will serve to cool the milk from one COW for a year Iand leave some for family purposes.
 Chestnut orchards which have been practically annihilated by blight of Japanese origin may be restored through efforts of the Uni ted States Department of Agricul- ture. Ten years experimentation has shown that it is possible to cross the chinquapin, a dwarf chestnut, with the Japanese chestnut, which is blight resistant, and that the hy- brid trees thus produced are quite resistant to the disease and yield nuts of good flavor and quality.

Marketing Apples

Information secured from apple market investigations by the United States Department of Agriculture in dicate that relatively low prices in large crop years in the beginning of the season make for quick movement and rapid consumption, with the natural result of better season aver ages; that marketing of inferior grades along with good fruit in large crop years is not profitable; that the effective operation of grade and package laws may be counted upon to aid in stabilizing apple markets.

"Shrinkage" in bulk carloads of potatoes averages per cent, accord ing to a survey of marketing condi- tions made by the United States Department of Agriculture. This amounts to 1,200 pounds per car load. The "shrinkage" is less where potatoes are sacked, as this reduces pilfering and rough handling to the minimum.

SAVE HALF HOUR
OF HEADACHE
Aspironal Elixir Relieves Right
Now-Tablets and Powders
Must Wait To Be Digested-
Absolutely Safe.

The next time you have headache
go to your nearest drug store, hand
the clerk half a dollar for a bottle
of Aspironal and tell him to serve
you two teaspoonsful, in little wa
ter. With your watch in your hand
count off two minutes and call for
your money back, as per manufac-
turers guarantee. If you can't feel
your headache fading away within
the time limit.
Doctors recommend and druggists
guarantee Aspironal because they
know it acts so much quicker, with
out the slightest danger to the heart
and because it removes the cause of
bilious and sick headaches by its gen
tie action on the liver. Aspironal
corrects biliousness and constipation,
thereby preventing the return of
your headache next day. All drug
gist invite and expect you to try
Aspironal, so don't be bashful. Ev-
erybody is doing it. Same guarantee
