but that one has by his rntiring yea
and energy climbed to heights in the
literary work that few young men
ever reach, and not one other of that
famous club has yet attained.
Often do think of the wonderful
changes which have taken place since
then. Almost as many professions
and vocations are represented by
that club, as there were members,
Fifteen long years have come and
gone since then, which makes us feel
! as if we were getting to be old men,
! yet the raven has not changed to
silvery locks, neither are there "silver
threads among the gold"
That reunion did not only revive
memories of scenes enacted on the
ball ground, but memories of that
grand old Athenian literary society
were stirred also. believe with one
exception we were all members of
that beloved society. Although the
voice of the one who penned these
lines was not heard to echo and re-
echo up and down these classic halls
on yonder hill as long and loud, as
did the voice of some of the other
members Of the club, yet there are
memories of those days which l will
always hail with joy. But there are
some thoughts connected with them
which are fraught with sadness. The
sun of our existence has about reach

preaching the west.

enjoy a happy and prosperous life,
and when your heads are bleached by
the frosts of many winters and your
eyes dimmed you may be possessed
of the same buoyancy of spirit as you
are at the MONDAY of your life. And
when the sun of your moral existence
sinks beneath the western horizon it

and faithful servants"

keep Valet to Care for You" Advice
of Lew Cody in Screen Play "The
Beloved Cheater"

Glove all the ladies and keep a
Chinese valet to warm your slippers
and sew on your buttons" is the
motto of Bruce Sands, the leading
character in "The Beloved Cheater"
which will be seen at the Palace
Theatre Monday.
In this Robertson-C special,
Lew Cody, the star, has role with
which he fits in perfectly, that of a
fascinating bachelor, willing to love
and kiss quite often, but keeping
entirely free of the artial moose.
"The Beloved Cheater," which was
produced by mGasnier, tells the story
of Bruce Sands, the "devil among the
ladies" who has a friend, Kingdom
Challoner who is very backward. 1t
happens that Eulalie Morgan, the
young woman to whom Challoner is
engaged, belongs to a progressive
cult which says that nobody should
kiss until married. So Challoner ap-
peals to Sands whom he knows to be
an authority on women and their
fascination, and asks him what to do.
Says All Will Kiss
Sands assures his friend that any
woman will kiss, if rightly handled,
and suggests, Gust take her in your
arms and kiss her." The other man,
on the other hand, says that if Chal-
Toner would consent to "break her
in" he would feel much better. So
the two men agree that Sands shall
kiss Eulalie in the dark, and step out
of the way, so that it will appear,
when the lights come back, that
Challoner is the kisser.
All goes right until the lights come
on, when the young lady holds in her
hand rose which she snatched from
the lapel of the man who kissed her.
The rose is still on the lapel of her
finance. So it was another man
This situation ushers in a series of
swiftly moving and novel episodes,
which make the picture one of the
best of the year. Il

THINGS TO DO ON THE
FARM IN FEBRUARY.

January seems to be the time best
for the farmer to mend broken spots
on his farm, from the house to the fur
therest fence enclosing his land But
| February comes and the real spring
work on the farm is started. The gar
den and orchard need much careful Mt
tentiOn at this time-transplan toma-
toes, egg plant, pepper, ETC., liz the hot
Oed; set out early cabbage and lettuce
that have been hardened in cold
frames. In order to guard against
scale, spray the orchard with lime sui
phur, or soluble oil.
Late in February SOW clovers, and
grasses on wheat. Mix little alfalfa
and alsike clover with red clover: IL
the land Is firm, run the seed thru the
shoe of grain drill at the same time.
After discing the land well, SOW or
chard grass in properly thinned wood
lots
This is the proper time to lay in
what fertilizer will be needed. At pres
ent there is great demand for acid
phosphate, and it would be wise to
place your order early to "avoid the
rush" Buy all fertilizers on the basis
of plant food rather than gross weight.
On lined land use acid phosphate,
while basic Stag is good for unlimed
land since it contains little lime. It
is well to keep a supply of limestone
on hand to spread at odd times.

With housing Accommodations at premium in Washington
during past years not many househoders have followed
the old of closing up their quarters for the summer
Nearly all homes and apartments though vacated for but few
short months, have been sublet to other tenants These
tenants accepted the Accommodations despite the short tenure
merely because any port looked good in the storm of the
housing shortage
The storm has yet cleared The coming of September
finds living conditions Washington congested as they were
in June Thousands of tenants who enjoyed temporary haven
during summer beginning to cast about for more
permanent quarters.
The situation confounds the belief that rents due for
marked decline this fall. The situation merely confirms
the opinion of those who long announced that rents Will
decline until production apace with demand
The really difficult angle of the situation to understand
why builders in the face of such big and such conn-
