REMEMBERED FATE OF BABY
Small Wonder That Winlfred Feared
for the Health Of the Precious
NeIghborhood Newcomer.

When the stork arrived and left
Betty Lou on the doorstep Of the Jones
family, she was at once the wonder
and delight Of the entire neighborhood
OF children.
And why not? She was the first
baby that had happened I'm the com
munity for eight long years Louise,
being the last, and now little old
woman, was among the first to call
and pay her respects to the new baby.
When Betty Lou had reached the
sedate age of three weeks, she was
wont to decline for hours In her brand
new buggy on the front porch Of her
home. This was quite a subject Of
gossip among the children and in some
cases caused quite little comment.
It is needless to say that the children
were never very far away from the
Jones porch, and one day Winifred
and Louise were heard discussing the
matter in whispers and with much ami
nation.
Wlnlfred impaired to Louise In
tones Of great solemnlty the terrible
tale Of how she once knew n teery-
weeny baby that had everything "just
lovely" but when It was only two
weeks old It took ammonia and died
Of too much alr."-IndlanapOlls News.

Growing water lilies for food Is a
new Idea in America, though 1t has
been practiced on large scale for
centuries In the Orient. Scientists
lately have been making n study Of
the food value Of the lotus lily, the
big yellow water lily found in many
lakes, ponds and rivers In the eastern
and middle western United States.
This lily was highly priced as a food
by the American Indians, just as Its
pink cousin, the lotus Of China, India
and Egypt, is favorlte food there.
Peeled and boiled, the American wa
ter lily Is as farinace0us and whole
some as potato and delicious to the
taste.
Propagation of the American lotus
is not difficult, declare scientists, and
there are numerous ponds and lakes
In nearly every state, remarks an ex-
change, whose waters are suited to the
profitable culture Of the lotus lily.

II have found so much happiness here.
1t seems as though the cutting Of that
great window had removed old ilu-
sions that hampered me and kept me
isolated from my nelghbors. Since
I've gone into business I've found that
1t is pleasant to receive favors. The
first day l opened up Mrs. Sawyer
brought me six apple pies, to help
out If you have a rush. as she said,
"but l know why she brought sthem."
Here the bright eyes grew misty with
feeling. "She was afraid l didn't have
enough In the house to prepare If l
had any customers"
"You don't ask me to sit down." he
remarked, looking at the deeply cush-
Toned chair opposite hers. you have
time to chat with almost anyone ex-
cept me, and Pm growing tired Of
being excluded. I used to think you
liked to live In solitary grandeur be-
hind your tall black iron fence, but
now that you've thrown your gates
open to the world and dispensed cheer
through the spout of your fat blue
teapot, feel that should benefit
also"
The Dresden-china pink In the
cheeks of Miss Mary became a swift
crimson. "You like to Joke" she muir
INJURED with little catch In the voice
she essayed to keep firm. 1t seemed
to her that the deepening dusk had
become golden with promise. MAY

youthfulness In his voice, ats taken
me long time to find out that you're
not a recluse at heart; Pansy tells
me that you actually borrowed some
tablecloths from her. I don't want
naughty princess, Mary, but do want
a wife, The gates are open now. Want

Aunt Chloe, approaching with a
question on her friendly lips, stopped
short, looked a moment with joyful
comprehension on her loyal face, then
tiptoed away.

MADE NAME BY ONE SPEECH
Bonar Laws First Essay In ParIia-
mont Established Him as a
Man Of Mark.

It is typical Of Mr. Bonar Law,
whose resignation from the British
government created 80 much regret,
that when he first entered the house
Of commons In 1900, he remained Il
silent and unknown member for some
time. One night, however, he decided
to make his maiden speech. 1t was
a reply, curlously enough, to an at
tack which Mr.. Lloyd George bad
made on the government The speech
gripped the house and In half an
hour Mr.. Bonar Law had made a par
liamentary name for himself
Coupled with a charm and kindli-
ness which have made him popular
with men of all parties, Is a quiet
sense of humor. One Of his fav0rite
stories concerns an election meeting
at which u speaker observed ut Is
wise, and indeed imperative, that
great public questions should be sub
mitted to the sober judgment Of the
people,
"Sober judgment be blowed"

"reminiscences are just now dellgbtlng

the matter good naturally, 80 much 80

Divisions Of Earth,s Interior.

From the evidence available, II. ID.
Oldham traces three divisions In the
earth's interior. The solid outer crust,
with thickness of " to 1 per cent Of
the radius Cor 20 to 40 miles,, has
high permanent rigldlty, but from I'M
known causes has been subject to de-
formations, with dlsplacements Of as
much MS ten miles vertically and 100
horizontally. The next section, about
half the radius In thickness, has high
rlgidity for such streams as tidal ac-
ton, with low rigldlty for long-con-
tlnued stress. The central nucleus has
low rigidlty. The conclusions relat-
ing to the two inner divisions are
drawn from records Of earthquake
waves.

1t may be stated that some few ele-
vator men took a chance when wheat
was selling above present figures and
contracted for a few crops at better
than ruling prices. This, however,
was only an occasional occurrence.
One Center township farmer who
has just completed threshing told the
writer that he was selling from the
machine, simply because he lacked de-
cent and safe storage and not because
he was afraid of losing money by

later on.

The Farm and

Mr.. Presley of the College Corner

date John Stewart, a farmer living
near the Corner" showed up at the
mill with the very first load of 1921
wheat to go over the mill scale. The
Stewart crop was put at about 500
bushels.

on Monday, July IL. 1t is hoped that
some able men will take the course,
as this is to be a real business cam
paign, and in no sense a picnic.
The work to be done is essentially
for the future. The organization Is
not equipped for business this year.
1t may be that it will be in shape
10 handle some grain after Jan. l, but
not in a large way. The idea is 10
be fully ready for the harvest of 1922,
and from then on.
Solicitors will canvass all the grain
states and when in action the Farm
ers' National Grain Marketing com.
pany will handle all the grains the
farmer grows, and not merely his
wheat. The cooperative and usual
run of farmer elevators are expected
to line up without argument and the
carlOt wheat growers also are eX-
pected to sign up freely. The real eff
fort will come when the small grower,
the average farmer" is asked to sign.
So many of these raise only a small
acreage of wheat and feed most all
their corn. These may argue that
they have little grain to sell, that ii
hardly will be worth while to contract
with the national organization
