OH my memory; ! shall never forget
them as long as | live; they meant
too much to us then to ever be tor
gotten ..... .....
But to return to the fatefuI day
when the two boys faced the cup
board which was as bare as ever
Dame Hubbard's dared to be. The
last cent had been expended; they
faced defeat There was one bless
ing left; not. far from the college
campus there was great sulphur
spring. Judging from the spontan-
eous flow of water from under the
big bluff, there was no limit to the
supply.
Breakfast on Water.
DR.. Lowe says: "We went down
to the old sulphur spring that morn
ing and we filled up on water, then
went on to our algebra and other
classes; at neon we had nothing
more to eat than we had at break
fast; but the spring was still run
ming and we went down and filled
up again. But fellows courage
does not hold out long without
bread; after our lunch of spring
water we held consultation, and
my Buddy said:
"It's no use, Titus; we can't go
on this way! We've reached the
end OF our string. Somehow we've
got to sell our trunks and get home
the best way we can"
When the doctor gets this far in
the recounting of those other days,
his voice grows tender, and dif-
ferent light shines in his eyes as he
proceeds: That afternoon while we
were sitting, wondering why the
Junk dealer did not come as he had
promised, the mail man came down
the street and handed me a letter.
When | tore open that envelope a
money order for $40 dropped out on
the table; with it was an encourag-
ing letter from friend that had
not heard from for at least five
wears. Maybe you think we didn't
have a big blowout! We went up
to the restaurant and enjoyed a
feast; it cast us Is cents apiece, but
it was worth it! All, those were
days"
"Well Worth While"
"Dr. Lowe, if you had son, would
you be willing to allow him to un-
dertake the securing of an education
without the necessary funds, If the
money was not available?"
After moments hesitation he de-
clared: II would, yes. ! think there
is no better fitting for the work of
living than just such experiences as
fellow gets while he is working
his way through school. To have a
little money all of the time, and yet
not so much but what it is necessary
for him to keep in touch with life
and work-why, there is nothing bet
ter for man! He must of neces-
sity give up all social activities of
school, if he has no money, and. Of
course, that is bad. But any young
fellow must be in earnest and stick
nightly to his purpose if he under.

When NJ. Very, the proprietor OF

Needless Discomfort Of Cities.

When the dOg-star RACES and the
fierce heats envelop the earth, the
imperfections of the city as dwelling
place become most apparent. Hot
weather Is hot everywhere; but the
baking payements, rejecting furiously
the rays of the sun, add peculiar
discomfort. And, as they retain their
heat long after the sun has gone down,
they play leading part in making the
night cOmfortless.
Here Is where the value of grass
and trees is most conspicuous. Every
little park, every shaded street, is an
asset of enormous value.
1t has come to be realized that even
manufacturing districts need not be
ugly and uncomfortable. The modern
factory is very different sort of af-
fair to the old. Suppose all our cities
had been laid out with tree-lined
streets, abundant open spaces, fire.
quent Fairgrounds and with no hud-
died alleys or dreary stretches of
brick and stone. A good many vital
problems of health and happiness
would have Leen solved in the simplest
way.
But in the building of their cities
men have too often deliberately made
themselves miserable. - Philadelphia

Care Of Rose Bushes.

Climbing roses that are apt to be
badly winter-killed should be carefully
taken down from their supports, the
tops tied together, laid along the
ground next the porch OF wall and
covered with litter. or manure. In
early spring they can be tied up again
to their supports and you will have
the benefit of all the flowers.
Single specimen hybrid roses SIM
ply need manure around the roots. If
they are hardy, do not tie them up
with straw, for If the winter Is moist
and warm they will start to put forth
new growth at the top and when un-
covered In the spring will be so soft
that the slightest frost will do them In
jury.
Tender and ever-blooming roses,
growing In beds, should have the
ground covered six inches In depth
with good stable manure This will
protect them, although they are near
ly always frozen down to the top of
the manure. In the spring take the
manure away from them as soon as
the danger from frost is over and cut
them back to the green wood. They
will be all the better for the pruning.

Young grass, they say, does not stool

not sufficiently aggressive to combat

Of much benefit to young grass, since
1t assists it in making sufficient growth
to pass the first winter In good. condi-
ton. The main point to be observed
in seeding is to SOW the seed evenly

Is. according.t to the common conception
Of q term which implies more than Q

1ority OF new Colonial houses, the Key
note Is almost Invariably rather rigid
fOrmality--and formality is never the
ideal foundation upon which to rear
picturesque superstructure.
The low, rambling, English country
houses, the steep-roofed, turreted
French chateaax. the characteristic
chalets Of Switzerland and the low
rooted homes Of italy have usually
an indeflnabie element Of picturesque
ness. undoubtedly attributable In large
measure to their pronounced infor-
mality OF composition. as well as to
perfect adaptahflity to their respective
locations. Countless American homes

to which the possession Of picturesque
qualities may truthfully be ascribed

foreign prototype. rather than an out
growth Of that Colonial style which

The only apparent reason for this
phenomenon must lie surely in lack
Of courage, on the part Of the archi-
tectural profession, to apply the de-
tails Of Colonial precedent to other

cannot be due to any lack OF inspira-

In the early days Of Pennsylvania,

BACK TO THE LAND

1t will be interesting to follow the
success of the scheme OF the Unem-
ployment Conference to make the
Mayor get everybody a job" Inc
figure of speech employed above, II
used with the proper allowance for
elasticity will convey the idea that
the mayor of each city is supposed to
lead the march of the unemployed
back from idleness to work. There
are over four nillion unemployed In
this country, and President Hard
ing's administration is straining
every endeavor to prevent hunger
and suffering this Winter. The
"soup houses" of the Winter of 1915
left narrowing horrors that will be
stunned if possible, in 1922. The
Conference has quite clearly pointed
out the practicability of ceratin kinds
of construction work, including pub
lie buildings and road work, that can
be carried on with profit to the COM
munities at this time; and it is in
sistent that the mayors of the coun-
try organize their communities and
put these methods of employment in
operation.
In ''the city of conservation "-as
Washington was characterized by
Henry James-the Unemployment
Conference has produced consider
able discussion of the "back to the
lani" question. The Conference, it
self, does not accept the view that
it has any time to deal with prob
lens of settling the land, because it
wants methods that promise quick
action. Strangely enough these
Iowa Secretaries of Agriculture
and that is where most of them seem
to come from ARE arranigned in OPP
position to opening broad new acres
for farming purposes. Secretary
Meredith of tn Wilson cabinet, in
sisted that the thing to do was to
farm the land that has already been
opened and to cultivate it more thor
oughly. Secretary Wallace of the
present cabinet; takes the same point
of view. Both men are from the
corn-stalks of the Hawkeye State,
from which also emerged ''Tama jim"
Wilson, whom history regards as
the dean of wisdom in the agricul-
tural Department. When men and
acres are matched iowa plans"
must be considered, even though
eventually revised.
1t will be remembered that dur
ing the most troublesome times of
the late war Secretary of the Inter
Tor Franklin K Lane developed a
plan to attract the returning soldiers
to take up land and engage in farm
ing. At first everybody appeared
to be for Mr.. Lanes scheme, and
then there followed an agitation to
the effect that farmers were unable
to secure labor, and that in conse-
quence that returning soldiers should
go out and work on the farms that
were already running short-handed.
1t is not so very clear that the young
men followed this lead; but it is
very clear that among the unemploy-
ed there are hundreds of thousands
of ex-service men that might nave
been benefited by Mr.. Lanes plan.
In 1862 the homestead law, as we
have it today, was adopted, and fol-
lowing the Civil War the young men
of the country joined "back to the
land" movement that made for great
prosperity in the nation in succeeding
years. 1t is believed by great

LAWLESSNESS IN CITIES
The wheels of justice in all of the
big cities are choked with criminal
cases, and Washington, D. c., where
most Of the laws are made, is said
to be the most lawless city in the
United States. Bootleggers are doing
so much business in the Capital that
the local courts are crowded with
cases growing out Of the illegay sale
Of liquor, and consequent disorders.
