ters prevail a box or barrel set below the surface of the ground and fitted with a movable lid provides suitable storage for such vegetables as beets, carrots, turnips, etc. This type of storage is adapted to sections where the bank or pit is used, or to parts of the country where the ground does not freeze to a depth of more than a few inches. Through the aid of such protective coverings as leaves, straw, or manure placed on the lid of the storage box, it is possible to protect the vegetables from any sudden ex- treme of temperature. On account of poor drainage, some locations are not suited to these underground storage boxes. In any location care must be exercised to select a site where water will not accumulate in the box.
 This type of storage is much clean CT and more accessible than the or dinary bank Or pit, and in most cases it's cost is very small. A num- Der of these boxes can be provided so that part of the vegetables can be taken out without disturbing the re- mainder.

OLD WAYS OF TELLING TIME
Early Methods Were Primitive, but
 Some Sort of Reckoning Always Has Been Kept.

Today when we glance at our watches and ascertain to the second the correct time, we do not stop to think of the first awkward methods used by primitive man. In the earliest days, man divided the time into two periods, the day and the night. The day was then separated into sunrise, monday and sunset, and then the morning and afternoon were further divided by the length and position of the shadows. Our first sundial was a stick set upright in the ground and the time was told by the length and position of the shadows. Nearly all ancient peoples of the world had sun dials and with them the time was told to the hour and the minute. The Chi nese had them, the Romans set up tall shadow columns with officers to watch then and report hourly on the length of the shadows. Even in the Middle ages the sundial was still used by those FOOT people v-h0 could not afo~d su> h !,...'"i~s as water clocks Ur hour glasses.

RED CROSS RESCUED
 6OO,OOO FROM DEATH
Spent $1,20O,OOO for Relief of Famine Sufferers in China
 Last Year.

To help overcome conditions of acute distress in five famine stricken prov inces of Northern China, where mil lions of persons were affe cted by an unprecedented shortage of food, the American Red Cross during the last fiscal year spent more than $1 100000, $1,OOO,OOO of which was contributed di- recty by National Headquarters and the remainder by various groups 'n- terested In the welfare of China.
 Through the wide relief operations thus made possible 1t Is estimated that more than 100000 famine sufferers were saved from starvation.
 To the end that similar prompt re- lief measures by the organization may always be possible the Red Cross Is asking continued support by the Amer ican people by universal renewal of membership at the Annual Red Cross Roll Call, November Il to 24.
 The method of relief employed by the American Red Cross in Its opera tions in China was particularly effec- tive, for in addition to saving hundreds of thousands of lives 1t provided China with more than 900 miles of permanent roads that are sOrely needed to pre- vent a re currence of famine. At one time the Red Cross employed 74,O00 Chinese workmen, paying them in food for themselves and dependents this food being brought in from ManChuria and elsewhere.

Down on the Farm.

4 young man spending a vacation was walking about the country lanes in an endeavor to hide from himself entirely all town life or anything which reminded him of town life.
 Chancing across a country postman, he stopped him and asked what time it was.
 Pulling out his watch, the postman deliberately replied:
 "It's four o'clock in the afternoon by the railway time."
 By railway tlmew ejaculated the young man. "I should say that you country folk, living In the open air, in the heart of the country, as you do would take your time from the sun"
 What for2" asked the rural post :Lan. "Bean't we much closer to the ra!lway--even If 1t be 12 miles-than we be to the sun ?'-Rehoboth Sunday Herald.

Some Egg-Laying Rations

All the following rations have been used with good results at the experi- mental farm at Beltsville, Md, con- ducted by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, but the poul- tryman should choose the ration best adapted to local conditions and prices. Feeds not included here may be added or substituted on the basis of their comparative analysis, pro- vided the meat scrap or animal protein feeds are not replaced by cottonseed meal or other high vege- table-protein feeds. All changes in the feed should be made gradually, as sudden changes may decrease egg production materially.

WORKED BENEATH THE EARTH
Discovery in Jerusalem Solves Much of Mystery Connected With King
 Solomon's Temple.

How often great discoveries spring from trifling incidents The trite re- flection comes to mind naturally on hearing how the quarries of King Sol omon were found. pr. Allen Moore, for IT years a resident of Palestine, tells the curious tale.
 For many many years, says Doctor Moore, travellers and archeologists were puzzled to know where the enor- nous blocks of stOn" still standing In the ruins of Solomon's temple at Jeru- salem were quarrled. One day a lit- tie dog chased a lizard down a hole among the debris. The next instant the dog also disappeared.
 His master coming to the opening, peered down In vain. He called, and to his amazement his voice came back as from great depths. He summoned assistance. and passage was opened into immense subterrancan quarries There were found huEa masses of stone almost ready to be hoisted above ground.
 And don't you remember" asks DOclof MoOre, tlat we dIe Iolu III our Bibles that the temple was built without sound of saw or of hammer7 The fact that the quarryman worked underground partly explains that"
 Upon some of the stones were found inscriptions that perplexed the explor- CTS until one scholar pronounced them Phoenician. The stones were wrought by some of that army of workmen sent by King Hiram of Tyre to aid King Solomon in his task.-Youth's Com DonIon

Chinese Shoes.

Making shoes is the interminaDle task of Chinese women, from youth to old age. Travellers see them busy in every moment, when necessity does not require attention to some other work, plying the threads back ana forth, in and out, in their endless CT fort to keep the men of their house hold supplied with footwear. Where there Is a surplus, the shoes are sold to the shops.
 Only cloth and paper are used. I'll. thickness of the soles, of alternating Iayers of cloth and paper held to- gether by paste, often indicate in varia- lions of from one-half to two inches' the wealth of the wearers. The shoes are noiseless and comfortable, but on rainy days China stays indoors pe- cause the shoes readily absorb water
 The women make their own tiny shoes in the seclusiOn of their quar- ters. even the husband being forbidden to watch their manufacture.

Cleaning Out Hog Houses
 Good Preventive of Lice

Except in accidental cases, hog lice are found only on hogs, and they do not voluntarily leave their natural host, says the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. When separ- ated from the animal they live only two or three days. The lice pass readily from one hog to another when the animals come in close con- tact. Practically all cases of :nfes- tation occur from contact with lousy animals and not from infected prem- ises. Under reasonably good sanitary conditions pens, corrals. and prem ises, which have contained lousy hogs are not source of danger to hogs free from lice.
 As precautionary measure, how ever, and because it is good sanitary practice, all small inclosures which have contained lousy hogs should be cleaned and disinfected before being used for a new lot of hogs. The litter and manure should be removed and the floors cleaned, after which the woodwork and floors should be sprayed with a good disinfectant ! The coal-tar-creosote dips, diluted in accordance with instructions or the container, are suitable for this purpose.

ENGINE OF PUBLIC SERVICE
Newspaper Today Not, as of Old, the Mouthp;ece of Any Individual
 or Party.

Not so many years ago a newspa- per was a printing press surrounded by a group of individuals chiefly con cerned in getting their own private theories or doctrines before their readers.
 Today the newspaper is an engine of public service. Its success tinan- cially and morally Is measured by the degree in which it supports not a party but the people.
 Those today who have a Twentieth century ideal of achievement separate the newspaper from the individual and make 1t first and foremost an organ of public service built by the people for the people. The journal which most nearly fulfills its highest pur- pose Is that which is indistinguish- able in policy from the natural trend of progress and march of liberty and free thought.
 Political prizes were the aims of the oldtlme editor. Ills policies were based on his own party interests and he discussed every public question with a feroclty and partisanship pro- portiOnate to the reward he expected to get out of 1t.
 The establishment of an institution, a living thing, which represents the public interest and nothing else-that should be the ideal of the editor.
 It Is this ideal which has made newspapermen a priesthood and has nF .I politics. For this age is not ma terialistic age-in spite of opinion to the contrary.-VancOuver Sun.
