to the class was full of practical sug-
gestions. He spoke of the new edu-
cation, brought about thru our inter-
nationalism, which includes the
brotherhood of the human race. He
spoke of the selfshness of the young
people in our universities and col
leges, and deplored the fact that
service was not greater part of
their creed.
Lastly, faith is the foundation
stone which real success is built, and
the real success is measured, not by
the plaudits of the crowd, but by the
inward consciousness of work we'll
done.
DR.. Gratiot presented the diplom-

in the schools this year, including
the health work; he struck a popular

ORCHARD AND GARDEN

{. Iris may be divided and reset now to
advantage.
Don't put the spraying machinery
away dirty. Be sure it is thoroughly
cleaned.
Blanch early celery with boards or
paper. Soil is apt to cause the stems
to decay.
Keep the Engelmann Ivy hangers cut
off or hard wind will be apt to tear
the vine from a building.
Flowers often revive better if the
stems are cut under water. This does
not permit them to fill with air ahead
of the water.
Get rid of pocket gophers as soon
as possible. Poisoned potato, apple
or parsnip dropped in their runways as
a rule will thin them fast.
Keep dead leaves and flowers re-
moved from plants if you would length
en- the blooming period.
After raspberries and other cane
fruits are through fruiting, the old
canes should be removed and the plants
thoroughly cultivated.
One Of the best white roses is Frau
Karl Drushki and a good red one is
Gruss an Teplitz. These are both
old sorts, but fine garden varieties

TAKING A SHARE IN HOME
BREAD MAKING

The youthful bread-makers who have
participated in the bread-making con-
tests Of the boys and girls clubs
throughout Minnesota this year are
putin their knowledge of bread-mak-
ing to practical uses. They are making
the bread or helping to make the bread
used in their homes, according to T.. A.
Erickson, state leader of boys and girls
club work at University Farm. Mr..
Erickson gets his information directly
from the youthful bread-makers.
The year has been one Of the best in
the history of such contests. The en-
rollment has been more than 1000 and
a larger percentage than usual carried
the work through to completion. Com
munity and county contests have been
made community events and as a result
many counties are planning bread max
ing team demonstrations for their fairs
