Opportunity on the Farm

There was time when the idea
was altogether too common, that the
occupation of farming was a sort of
junk pile where fate threw human
discards who lacked ambition, intelli-
gence, or perseverance enough to sue
eeed in any other calling in life. Then
along In the late nineties there was
a black to the land movement" and
"mossback" and "hayseed" were rele-
gated to the columns of obsolete slang.
The farmer sees life and growth on
every hand. Even in winter, in the
localities where the landscape seems
symbol Of death with snow and ice
holding everything in Its grasp, there
is the hope of renewed life. or resur-

Modern history records other wonder

A shower OF limestone pebbles came
down at Pel-et-Der, France, June 9,

Essay on Geese.

The following composition on geese
was written, according TO Capper's
Weekly, by schoolboy in st. Louis |:
"Geese is heavy-set bird with head
on one side and tail on the other.
His feet is set so far back on his run
ming gear that they nearly miss his
body. Some geese Is ganders and has
a curl in his tail. Gamblers don't lay
or set. They just eat, loaf and go
swimming. If had to be a geese,
would rather be a gander. Geese do
not give milk, but give eggs, but for
me, give me liberty or give me death. -

VESSEL GONE FOR GOOD
For Many Years Efforts Were Made
 to Save Cruiser
By Associated Press

fABSOClhtCu
 New Bedford, Mass, September 2l. The cruiser Yankee, which was wrecked on Hen and Chickens reef in Buzzards Bay twelve years ago and which sank and was refloated, only to go down again after drifting a few miles, has been finally lost to the navy. Wreck CTS who have been trying for several years to remove the hulk of the sunken cruiser as menace to navigation have blown it up, and timbers of the old Yankee are now scattered on the floor of the bay.
 The Yankee, which was formerly the coastwise passenger steamer Ell sud was in transport service during tha Spanish American war and was con tinued on the naval rolls afterward IS cruiser. She went aground on Hen and Chickens during a thick fog on the night of September 23, 1908, and slipped off into the deep.
 The navy's attempt to float her, madi under the direction of Naval Construc. tor Washington L. Capps, failed, and pri- vate bids were called for. As result. the first notable use of compressed air for marine salvage in this country was made by John Arbuckle of New York, a sugar refiner. He bought Peary's Arc. tic ship Roosevelt and made her tho headquarters of his operations After three months work with the compressed air method the Yankee was raised and started in tow for this port
 She ran into storm during the night heavy seas thumped her weakened frame and one of the air ports broke. The Yankee went down again off Dumplins Light and, although the Arbuckle wreck CTS renewed their efforts, and other sal- wage outfits did their best to bring ncs to the top, she stayed there for ten years before she was blown to pieces.

 Any motorist will tell you that 1t ought to come; that it's bound to come. The greatest menace to safe motoring is the pedestrian, the fellow who doesn't know where, or how to cross the street. Well enough to license cars to test motorists knowledge of traffic rules. It is the pedestran's knowledge of how to walk that must be tested If it is sound and suf- ficient, license should be, granted him, to be worn conspicuonsly on his back. like the numerals sported by runners
 in road race. If he be lacking in
 such knowledge, a license should be
 denied him and he should be arrested if
 he tries. unlicensed, to cross the street.
 Something must be done to protect the
 motorist on crowded thoroughfares; this sudden slamming on of the emer-
 gency brake will wreck the mechanism of the best car made if done too often. Any motorist will tell you that be- fore man is licensed to be pedes- trian he should be taken in tow by an examiner of the traffic squad and given a try out The examiner to test him l, says:
 "Don't bother going to the corner. Let's cross here in the middle of the l block"
 And if the man falls in the trap, the officer says: M .Nc license for you my buck! Ga home and read up your pedestrians rule book, and stay in the house until next Tuesday, when I'll call for you again."

Shelled Into Fertility

A. H. Folwell in Leslie's. Out on long Island, which begins at Brooklyn and ends at Montauk Point, there is wiry, brown man with lot of white hair. For some years his ! job has been to do what other folks said he couldn't
 "But you can't raise that here,' sa.i other folks.
 But do." said the wiry, brown man. Look at it.'
 The wiry, brown man with the white hair is Hal B. Fullerton The lana where he persists in raising things, TO the agitation of people who know It can't be done, is the pine parrens oI Long Island.
 It will seem natural to you that the man who had shown Long Island how | to grow real crops on the pine par rens should have been asked to go to France and help restore, agriculturai- | ly. the war-scarred areas of the Somme and the Aisne.
 MT Fullerton files no claim that he l is a wizard of the land. By study and experiment he has become to be on pretty intimate terms with Mother Na- l ture, and he has a lot of faith in her He had an idea she would not faii France any more than she had faileI the pine barrens of Long Island. That was his hopeful state of mind when l the left for France last spring. He was not obliged to revise his guess. It was the experience of the pine barrens of Long Island all over l again.
 1 "Ah, M'sieur nothing will grow here, a French official said to him, pointing
 dispairingly at the havoc of war. l But it is." returned MT. Fullerton. l And 1t was. Tn a trench he had 7, spotted alfalfa. Nearby, a stalk or l oF Nature was
 throwing out some rather broad hints MT. Fullerton saw them because he was looking for them: not man made restoration, but Natures own.
 'This land was never so rich" MT Fullerton declared. "It has been fer tilized by the waste of war Every. where there is proof that its crop yield
 will be big"
 "But the shells the hidden shells
 they said to him. 'There is danger
 M'sieur."
 Whereupon MT. Fullerton took his
 tools in hand and held demonstra-
 ton. He asked for piece of land. as
 war-scarred as any, for test. He pre- pared and planted it-and lived. AS
 for the buried shells. he was of the
 opinion then. and he is of the opinion still that the high explosives, tho chemicals with which the shells were filled, could not stay indefinitely cooped up, but must from their very nature disintegrate their metal cas- ings and eat their way out--to the incalculable benefit of the land. And as for the millions of shells that exploded" he said to visito' who saw him at his Long Islant home, they gave French soil such ' turning over as it had never had, and rurished it. at German expense, witf chemical properties that doubled it' richness"

FORMER COWBOY IS NOW CONDUCTING
 UNIQUE MISSION
John Calvert de Bohun Rounds Out Career on Back Wash
 Street In Buenos Aires
By Associated Press

Buenos Aires August 27.-z-On a street in Buenos Aires which might be called the backwash of the world, judging from the human derelicts cast up from every stream and every land, North American cowpuncher of the old west is conducting a rescue mission where hungry children are fed and tired souls are comforted. He is John Calvert de Bohun, who says he was born on the hurricane deck of a cayuse' in New Mexico.
 Cowboy, jockey, wanderer, and fi- nally ordained minister, Bohun's life has been such as to make him one with i the deadwood that drifts into his mis- sion, as he tells his story and his re- idemption to bodily and spiritual health a parallel to that of some of his peo- pie There was a time, he says, when
