The incubator room or cellar should
be large enough to allow the attend
ant to work around the machines con
venlently. Many incubator cellars are
provided with some system Of ventlla-
ton In addition to the windows. This
is not always necessary, however. The
chief point is to keep the air In the
room fresh. Muslin screens on the
windows provide good ventilation with
out draft and at the same time keep
the sun from shining on the machines.
Many incubator cellars have cement
floors, which are easier than dirt floors
to keep clean and neat.

Home vegetable gardens will be lust
as important in stabilizing the food
supply In 1921 as they have been at
any time during the past few years,
say garden specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Urgent need for increased production
of food during the war caused thou
sands Of rural and urban residents to
plant gardens, which resulted In es-
tablishlng the gardening habit. This
year, specialists say, home gardens
will play an important part In thrift
and economy. Thousands of acres of
uncultlvated land in and about many
large cities will be utilized this year
to furnish employment and recreation
to home gardeners who know that by
raising their supply Of vegetables
they can materially reduce their liv-
Ing costs.
Enough for Average Family.
One-tenth of an acre Of fairly good
ground-a square about So feet each
way-win supply the greater part of
h vegetables needed by the average
family, say garden specialists Of the
department. The cost of all seeds
and fertilizers for a garden of this
size should not exceed $15 to SIS, and
may not cost more than IS or $40.
Experience has shown that not more
than 100 hours should be required for
planting and caring for a tenth-acre
garden. This time is so distributed
throughout the season that the work
can be easily done by most persons
working In factories, stores, or offices.
II means an average of about five or
six hours a week for a period of 20
weeks or merely enough time for prop
er outdoor recreation and exercise
necessary for good health. More time
will be required early In the season
while the garden is being prepared
and planted than during the summer,
when not more than two or three
hours a week will be necessary to
keep the garden In good condition.

produce much higher yields than one
which is neglected. The average re-
turn In money value from a tenth-acre
plot of ground usually is about $S5
for a season.
Fresh Vegetable Supply.
Plenty Of fresh vegetables direct

vastly greater Importance than the
money value, the cutting out Of mid

problems. The question of saving and
cost. however. may prove a very i'm
portant factor before the close Of an
other year. Already there is much
unemployment OF labor and the local
or home production OF foods In the gar
den Is the surest way of safeguarding
the family food supply. 1t is said that
the farmers of the country could cut
themselves Off from the rest of the
people and live comfortably for an
Indefinite period, because they can
produce practically everything that
they need. Gardens furnish an i'm
portant part Of the living of families
on farms and the same principle will
apply to people who live In cities,
towns, and villages who have access
TO a small tract Of land on which 10
grow a garden.
There is nothing connected with the
work Of c%ultlvating a garden that has
a tendency to inJure the health unless
o%verexertion Is INDUCED In. Persons
who habitually work indoors should
be rather careful when they first be-
gin working in the direct sunshine.
When the work Is first started the
muscles are stiff and weakened from
inactivity and It is necessary TO go
slowly until they get into play.

FROM THE OCEANS DEPTHS
Whale Shark, Caught on Miami, Fla,
Something Of a Surprise TO
the Scientists.

The first whale shark ever captured
Is on exhibition at the Smithsonian In
stitution at Washington. Capt. Charles
Thompson Of Miami, Fla, who has
some big fish captures to his credit, in
Guiding the largest devilfsh ever lifted
to land, is the captor of this monster.
He caught 1t while cruising on
Knights key. II took 20 men nearly
two days to bring 1t ashore. The net
weight Of the fish Is 10000 pounds, Its
length Is 45 feet and Its circumference
mt the thlckest part is % feet 0 inches.
It's tail measures 10 feet from tip to
tip.
The scientists who looked this fish
over said that he was only an infant
whale shark and that %full-grown ones
are two and one-half times as large.
Il inhabits the ocean at a depth OF l.
500 feet and its hide is of great thick
ness to withstand the enormous water
pressure. A 45-caliber bullet could
not v dent II.
How this baby whale shark hap
pened to come to the surface is con-
lecture. one explanation being that II
was thrown up by a submarine volcanic
disturbance and that In the journey Its
deep-sea diving powers were injured
so that 1t was unable TO sink to Its
natural water levels.
The whale shark has little circular
lidless eyes that are sightless. Its
mouth is so inches wide and 43 inches
deep. It's tongue is 40 inches long.
Hundreds of teeth line the sides Of It's
Jaw. 1t had a speed on the surface OF
As miles an hour and put up a fight be-
fore being captured that lasted two
days and a half.

duty to the children which Gcd has
committed to our care and training.
The text used by Mr.. C0untiss,
"A bsalom, Oh my son Absalom,

brought to the heart of every thought
full parent the query: "Am | giving
that attention to the habits and con-
duct of my children that / should ;
am I not too much absorbed in the
affairs of a busy world to watch the
lives of my children and give them
that counsel and care that God ex-

We think that Mr. Countiss' indict-
ment of the moving picture which
shows the maid and her beau embrac-

tious kiss, and improper sex contact
in general, entirely correct. We also
desire to say that we think the min

Mr.. Countiss' plea for the parents
to know where their children are at
night and his warning that communi-

home, would not, could not, take the
place of the ties made at home, emf
nently correct. :,
Mr.. Countiss must have had special
inspiration in delivering that sermon
and it is our judgment that if we had
more preaching of that kind that
there would be less complaint about
having small congregations. There
never was greater need for plain, un'
adulterated speaking, in our judg'
ment, by the Christian ministry.
Mr.. Countiss performed Christ
