PECAN SEEDLINGS SHOULD BE
BUDDED

Because there are millions of peca,
seedlings in Louisiana which shOul(
be budded to desirable paper shell
varieties, B. Szymoniak, associate horti
culturist, Extension Division, Louisiana
State University, will carry on a ser
les Of demonstrations in budding trees
throughout the northern part of the
State beginning July z. Mr.. Szymoniak
will work in connection with the farm
and parish demonstration agents in
their respective parishes.
"In Madison Parish the work is
we'll under way" says Mr.. Szymoniak.
"a farmer just south of Tallulah, with
the assistance of his agent, T. l. Wat
son, has top-worked some thirty-fve
or forty Seeding trees in his pasture.
having grated these seedlings to
Schley and Stuart varieties. Excel
lent results have been obtained from
this process"
Trees that are budded will come in
to bearing from three to four years
after the buildings is done, wher
it takes from ten to twenty
years for seedlings to bear.

Ideals and Happiness.

Lasting happiness results from
building ideals into concrete struc.
lures that minister to human happi.
ness. The material things of the world
have their worth, but even that de-
pends upon the uses they are put to.
Many a log valuable for furniture
building has been used to fiji swampy
places over which cord-wood was
hauled. And the same Is true OF
ideals. To really count they must be
lifted to good ends. Joy comes from
projecting yourself into the future and
the welfare Of the race.

New York and Other seaports.

AS a result of the great war the pop
ulation of France has decreased per
cent, but the population of some of
the large cities of France has made
a large increase. Lyons, Bordeaux and
Marseilles are of special interest to
American investors, who have paid
many millions of dollars in purchasing
bonds issued by these cities. Their
gain in population has ranged from
10 to &c per cent, the largest being
that of Marseilles, and it is perhaps
significant that MarseilIes is the prin-
cipal port of France on the Mediter-
ranean, remarks the Boston CONNER
cial Bulletin.
AS the great seaport of America,
New York has made enormous growth
in recent years and the population
has become so great that not only is
New York the largest city in the world
but English newspapers now admit
that New York has nearly a million
more inhabitants than London, which
has been for over century the
worlds greatest city.

NEW LINES SEEN ON MOON
British Astronomer Makes Public Re-
cent Observations Of Great ln-
terest to Scientists.

A paper by T. L. Macdonald, read
before the British Astronomical asso-
citation, discusses the appearance of
bright border along the dark limb OF
the young moon. According to Mr..
Macdonald this luminosity, which is
not visible in all lunations, has more
or less linelike appearance, and is de-
cidedly brighter than the ordinary
earthshine, which always Eliminates
the darker part of the young moon.
The bright border varies in length, not
always extending as far as the horns
of the lunar crescent, and certain
nearly circular sweliings of intensi-
fed brightness have beer noted. In
general the border is most sharply de-
fined when the moon is 215 days old,
and it begins to become diffuse the
third day of the lunation. BY the sew
enth day it is barely distinguishable.
Commenting on these observations,
Mr. Harold Thomson stated that he
had observed the bright border with
the naked eye but it disappeared in
the telescope.-Scientific American.

VISITING BY PHONE
Remedies Suggested For The All-Too-
Frequent Lines Busy"

How would you like to be cut on
IN the middle of telephone CONVEX
sation with the information from the
operator that your time is up" and
that you had been using the line as
long as was permissible for any one
message?
You'd probably burn out the fuse,
or the generator. or the lightning rod
Or whatever II is that burns out
telling the operator just what you
think about IL.
That is the remedy, nevertheless,
suggested by one OF the telephone
company's most prominent subscrib-
ers for the overcoming delay and
annoyance of lines busy" 1t
cropped out at meeting of the City
Club in Baltimore, where the tele-
phone service and the company's re-
quest for increased rates were being
discussed.

Bare Biblical Collection.

An interesting collection of Bibles
some of which are rare books. others
of which are valuable on account OF
their former possessors or donors, is
installed in the Mount Holyoke college
library. In one group are found the
ancient versions of the Scriptures; the
original Hebrew and Greek, inciud-
ing a miniature copy of the scroll or
the law, called the Sefer Torah, the
ancient Syriac, the Septuagint and the
Latin Vulgate.
Among the four editions of the
Latin Vulgate is one bearing the date
1868. with Luther's portrait stamped
on the leather cover with a Latin
inscription, of which the translation
is. IF you wish to see the face OF
Luther behold the portrait; if yon
would know his mind, consider the

The Telephone Co. Says The Ladies
GOOD Bless 'Em') Are Among
The Worst Offenders In
Telephone Visiting.

A member of the club told of the
difficulties he had been experiencing
and cited one instance in which he
tried for half an hour to reach his
own Office. Each time the line was
busy. He knew that the stenograph-
er and Office boy were the only ones
there to use the telephone. Finally,
in desperation, he asked the manager
of the telephone company if there
wasn't some way the operator could
break in on the wire and tell his
help that the boss wanted a
chance to say word"
OF course, the telephone people
could not do it. A telephone con-
versation cannot be broken off at the
request of a third person.
The problem of reducing the length
of unimportant calls is serious one,
and one that directly affects the sNrv-
ice given by any telephone company.
An executive of the G. & p. Company
has stated that eleven per cent. of the
calls placed do not reach their des-
tination because the number called is
busy. In Baltimore alone more than
10000 busy reports are given every
day.
Busy lines affect two of the three
parties to every call. To the one
making a call, they are source OF
annoyance, meaning delay and the
bother of calling a second or third
time. To the operator, they mean
extra work. 1t is claimed that ii is
easier for her to make a connection
than to report that the line is busy.
To the person called-well. he's
using his own telephone, which he
has a perfect right to do-that's all
there is to it. And, of course, if you
are on a party line, it is manifestly
unfair to pay a prolonged wire visit
and thus prevent other telephone
users on the line from either making
calls or receiving them.
If every user of the telephone
would remember, say the telephone
officials. that an idle conversation can
keen an important message away
from two telephones; IL they are on
a party line, from larger number Of
telephones; and if every person would
hold talks down TO a reasonable time
limit, there would be considerably
less cause for complaint and real
improvement in telephone service.
Telephone visiting may be cheap. but
that's the best you can say of it.

TAKE HIGH OFFICE MARCH q
That Day Officially Set for Inaugural
ton of the President OF the
United States.

President Washington was lnaug-
urated for his second term, beginning
March 4, 1898, and all the other pres
idents, except four, who were inaug-
urated March 5, because the 4th fell
on Sunday.
The four exceptions were Presidents
Monroe, second term, 1921; Taylor,
1910; Hayes, 1877: and President Will
sons second term, 1917. President
HAYES took the oath March 3. 1877,
and was formally inaugurated on the
following Monday. President wilson
took the oath for his second term on
Sunday, March 4. The usual inaug-
uration parade took place the next
day.
The question as to whether, in the
event of March falling on Sunday
at the beginning of term, there being
an interregnum of one full day in the
office, was first brought by John
Quincy Adams when he was secretary
of state. He applied for dictum OK
the Supreme court to guide the man
ner of inaugurating President Monroe
for his second term. The opinion OF
Chief Justice Marshall does not pro-
hibit the president from taking the
oath and entering his duties imme-
diately after midnight of March 3,
even if March 4 falls on Sunday.

Got There First

There weres several passengers in
the nonsmoking compartment, one of
them fussy old lady who carried a
small dog on her lap.
AT one station man got in and sat
opposite the lady in question. He had
not been there long before he pulled
out blackened old clay pipe and be-
gan TO smoke.
The old lady asked the man to put
it out, and he declined; whereupon
she took the pipe from his mouth and
threw it out of the window.
This angered the man. who. nothing
daunted, TOOK the old lady's dog and
heaved it after his pipe. Matters grew
worse after that, and the situation
did not improve until the train arriv-
ed at its destination, when every
body was surprised to see the dog
running along the platform with the
pine in its mouth.-London Tit Bits.

Tin In The Hehrides

The recent discovery of deposits of
surface tin and traces of other metals
in the Hebrides has aroused consider
able interest in archaeological circles,
the theory having previously obtained
that the tin used in the manufacture
Of Scottish bronze in prehistoric
times had been imported from Corn
wall. In this connection it is noted
that Scottish bronze contains larger
proportion of lead than English
bronze. The Gaelic word for tin IS
ystaoin," which also means pewter
Hebridean tin is said TO have more
ihan the usual proportion of lead.
The discovery also is believed to have
a bearing on the problem of the Cas-
siterides Tin islands,l Of classical
writer's. There are Gaelic TIN place
names in the Hehrides and on the
Mainland.
