place. We then went to Chehaiis
to compete for the championship OF
Southwest Washington. We won irst
place which gave us the honor OF
representing all the Southwest at the
State Fair. At Chehalis we had a
wonderful time and saw many fine
exhibits. learned q great many
helpful things in canning, and feel
that we can better our club by what
we learned. At Yakima we had a
wonderful time and everybody treated
us royalty. / think the club leaders
are the most wonderful people In
the world. They're the jolliest people
I have ever met.
We had an exhibit Of twenty -four
varieties of canned goods and they
could not be found and we were much
worried about them, until one day we
found them in the womens building
with i've prizes. We were certainly
surprised and delighted, and then to
win first place in the canning con-
test seemed almost too good to be
true.
might add at the end of this that
my one wish when graduate from

College at Pullman and continue the
club work.

There Is q difference between plant
and animal feeding. Crops, like an
imals, require feeding, but sowing
seed In the soil is unlike placing an
imals In a feed lot. 1t is more like
turning stock into a pasture. The
amount Of supplementary feed Gas
fertilizer) depends on the richness of
the soil. If the soil is sufficiently
fertile the addition OF plant food may
not be necessary, but IL one or more
essential elements are lacking then
it Is wise to fertilize.

ALUMINIUM TO REPLACE WOOD
Increased Production Of the Metal
viii Relieve Drain Upon the coun-
trys Vanishing Forests.

One of the greatest consumers OF
wood is the shipping box. Fer this
purpose no fewer than 100000 cords
were used last year. Viewed from
any standpoint, it is gigantic draft
upon our forest resources.
Unquestionably before long metal
will largely take the place Of wood for
the making of shipping cases. Which
means, of course, aluminium, or an al
10y thereof. Aluminium, relatively
speaking, is cheap metal now, but It
Is destined to be vastly cheaper.
When one considers that aluminium
constitutes more than per cent Of the
entire crust of the earth, it seems alb
surd that there should be lack of it for
any and all purposes useful to man
kind.
The next generation may live in
apartment houses built wholly of alu-
minum and travel in aluminium trains
and steamships. But the matter of
most immediate Importance is the re-
lief which cheap aluminium may give,
to the drain upon our vanishing for
ests.

Eventually they fly away ia parts un

Tonnibel gave gasping sob. They

no longer her home, she began to love
the silent old canal boat, and to wish
with all her soul that Uriah and Edith
would come walking down the cabin

For a long time she sat thinking
looking out over the water, sometimes
with tears flooding her lids, sometimes
dry-eyed with fright After while she
got up, took GuSsie to the lake. where,

COMBINE ART WITH "MoVlEs"
How City Of Toledo, O., Attracts
Children to Its Museum, for
Educational Purposes.

In order to attract the children Of
Toledo to that city's museum Of art
the museum management offers Its lit
tie visitors "story hours" gallery
talks, music hours, classes in pure and
applied design and the educational
the museum was first stimulated
through the medium of an organized
bird club. Thousands Of children
have also been brought to the
museum during the last four years
by means of the annual vegetable and
flower shows in which the children
have participated.
"The Toledo museum was the first
to include motion pictures In its edu-
catlOnal plan when, in the autumn of
1915, the necessary equipment was
presented through the efforts Of II. Y.
Barnes, then assistant to the d.
rector" writes Eula Lee Anderson of
Toledo. This proved not only fur
ther magnet to attract boys and girls
to the museum but a further means
of teaching art. During the first few
years films dealing with travel, crafts
and art were difficult to secure, yet by
dlligent search many fine things were
made available, including the life Of
Palissy, the famous potter, and
beautiful hand-coIOred film showing
the making Of silk.
"The policy Of the museum is not
to amuse by means of the film, but
to educate the child along artistic
lines, using only such productions as
are of a distinctly cultural quality"

Up to now the motor horn has been

REFUSED TO TAKE CHANCES
Fortune TellePs Prediction Caused
Crews Of Two Vessels to Desert
the Boats at Quebec.

From time immemorial superstitions
OF sailors, with few exceptions, have
naturally been associated with things
OF the sea, notably the belief which
marks departure from port on Friday
as a certain omen of bad luck. St
Elmo's fire, the bo'sun fish, whIstling
for the wind in calm, the presence
Of priest on board ship, all these
deal with actual elements of sea life
that played a great part among such
legends. The Flying Dutchman legend
was also born Of the sea; likewise the
ghOstly crew coming from the wreck
Of sunken ship to haunt the crew of
the vessel which caused their loss.
A more annoying variety Of super
stitiOn was revealed the other day by
the action Of the crews of two Amer
lean tugs who deserted their boats at
Quebec. Before these two boats left
Detroit bound for New York fortune
teller predicted the doom of one of
the boats before it finished its vOy-
age. This prophecy so worked on the
sensibilities of the members of the two
crews that they struck on reaching
Quebec. Old salts might sniff at such
a prophecy as this as being of the
fresh-water brand and not worthy to
be enrolled In the ancient and honor
able company of deep-sea superstitions,
but the prophecy worked its evil upon
the tug owners. The loss of their
crews made real thing Of 1t.
