AMBITION SCARED TOO HIGH
Pioneer Grape Grower Unfortunately
Was Not Satisfied With First
Really ExcelIen. Results.

A hundred years ago DR.. c. W.
Grant bought a small, rock-ribbed
island in the Hudson river nearly OPP
posite Peekskill. There was general
laugh at what people declared to b
his folly, as the island was so barren
and worthless that it did not seem pos
sible for anything to grow there. DR..
Grant, however. had ideas of his own.
and he began a growth Of grapes Of
the then new variety, the Delaware.
In a very short time the island was
known to grape growers all over the
country, and Doctor Grant was de-
clared to have done more for grape
culture than any other man in Amer.
lea.
The great business enjoyed by the
physician turned his head, and he be-
gan to work toward a scheme that
would turn the island into a paradise
of growing flowers, especially mag
nolias and rhododendrons, and he
hoped to give seed or cuttings to every
home in America. The result of his
attempts was bankruptcy, and he left
the island. which soon went back to
rock and barren soil.

A woman's fondest hope Il to stay
young. She often resorts to paints,
powders and cosmetics to hide her
years. Some women pay large sums to
so-called "Beauty Doctors" in the be-
Lief that money will buy youth. Others
wear girlish dresses, thinking they can
fool the world about their age. But
no one is deceived. The more you try
70 hide your age, the more it shows.
There is but one thing that holds old
ase back, and that is health. Sickness
and weakness bring old age early in

A ONE.MAN FLAC-THE
PRESIDENTS.

Most folk know of some Of the per-
quisites that will accrue to the next
President Of the United States, such
as a band which is at his disposal-the
Marine band-and the White House
Conservatives which provide the first
lady of the land with flowers, but 1t
is not so generally known that one of
the hOnors bestowed upon the chief
executive is a special flag.
This flag is not seen frequently. 1t
does not float over the White House.
Its use is reserved, for the most part,
for occasions when the President ap-
pears in his ex-officio capacity as COM
mander in chief of the army and the
navy.
The Presidents flag consists of the
coat-of-arns as they appear on the
Presidents seal, against a blue back
ground, and flanked by four stars. Its
history and use are described in the
monograph on Flags Of the World"
of the National Geographic society as
follows:
When the President visits a vessel
Of the United States. the Presidents
flag is broken at the main the mo-
ment he reaches the deck, and is
kept flying as long as he is on board.
If the vessel can do so, national sa-
lutte of 81 guns is fired as soon as
possible after his arrival on board.
Upon departure. another salute of q
guns is fired, the Presidents flag be-
ing lowered with the last gun Of the
salute.
When the President is embarked
in a boat he usually directs that his
flag be displayed from the staff in the
bow of his barge. When he passes
in boat flying his flag, vessels Of
the navy parade the full guard. four
ruffies are given on the drum, four
fiourishes are sounded on the bugle,
the National Anthem is played by the
band, and officers and men salute
When the President is embarked in
ship flying his flag, all saluting ships
on meeting her at sea or elsewhere
and all naval batteries, fire a national
salute on passing.
Previous to the present order
there were two designs displayed or
flags and on colors to be used in thu
presence of the commander in chic
of the army and the navy. The nav!
design was of an earlier date thar
that of the army. and consisted of thu
coat-of-arms of the United States. a
shown in the Great Seal. upon blu
ground. This happened to be almos
identical with the infantry colors. Thu
Presidents colors were designed to b.
! distinctive from the infantry cOlors
and consisted of blue ground witt
large crimson star. outlined heavil
with white. Within the star was I
be seen the coat-of-arms Of the Unite
States, and outside the star within 1t
angles were powdered small star
to the number of states in tn
Union.

Can Can.

All the world before long will be
canning American style, If the present
rate of progress keeps up. Last year
France asked the loan Of some can
ming specialists from the United
States Department of Agriculture to
teach them the purely American art
of home canning. The results were
so gratifying that the same group were
asked to return this year to give
further instruction. They went. and
their work everywhere in France was
attended with gratifying results.
The director general of agriculture
in the little duchy of Luxembourg hear
ing of the method of preserving fruits
and vegetables being taught Il
French. asked if the American canning
experts could be lent to Luxembourg
when they were through in France.
This was arranged. and the first two
weeks In September found the Ameri-
cans teaching in Luxembourg how t.
can and dry garden products and how
to can meat and fish. From Luxembourg
the demonstrators went to Holland
where at Amsterdam and other places
a series of lectures were given. At the
request Of the British Department OF
Agriculture, the canning specialists
then went to England and gave dem
onstrations before the English insti
tute workers. One group is now II

GUATEMALA: LAND OF
uPHEAVALS- AND
PROGRESS.

A condition of upheaval, not neccs-
sarily from political causes, is moth
ing new to the republic Of Guatemala.
This country has wonderfully rich and
fertile soil and it's climate rarely is
equaled.
The city Of Guatemala, which Is now
partially rebuilt, was the scene Of one
of the most violent earthquakes known
in Central American history. This
earthquake extended over several
months during the latter part of 1917
and the early months of 1918. 1t be-
gan November II, 1917. On Christ

beneath full moon in an untroubled
sky, the populace huddled watching
in fear and misery their homes, the
trees, and the earth as well, creep,
writhe and twist.
On the night Of January "a, the
moon again beamed from a clOudless
sky upon these people as they saw
nearly every remaining edifice in their
city tumble in whirlwinds Of dust.
The tremors seemed to center under
the very city itself. and spectators
have said that they feared that the
earth would give away and a volcano
form in the very heart of the city.
Houses and bell towers crumbled. wa
ter mains we're broken. the sewage

Of their collins.
One can take a steamer from New

country, where stately palms wave In
greeting.
Along this seacOast and farther In
land large banana plantations cover
thousands of acres. This one compar'
atively small country raises for its
own and the outside worlds cOnsump.
ton about ten million lunches of ba-
nanas a year. The valley Of the Mo
tagua river is considered one of the
most densely vegetated regions of the
world.
But the most important crop Of the
state is coffee. In 1918 Guatemala
produced about one hundred and ter
million pounds Of coffee. more thar
seventy million pounds Of which were
exported to the United States.
In the mountains of southwestern
Guatemala live pure-blOoded Indian:
who have won admiration Of travel
ers for their physique, cleanliness ant

of trying to buy ring from an In
