In the 18th district Mr.. Van Dill
lenger has on his farm probably one
of the largest new grounds of any
farm in the district. He has 60
acres that has been cleared in the
last few years being planted to
corn this week. He will seed this
land to red clover after this crop,
being a strong believer that stumpy
land will grow better clover than
old land. In addition to planting
so acres of corn, he will plant 30
acres of cotton and 81 of potatoes.
His son, James Riley, will take up
the pig club business this year.

There is less cotton planted in the
county at this time than is usually
tho case at this season Of the year.
There is not much cotton planting
spirit among the farmers. TINS
with the bad season at planting
time, is probably the cause. Farmers
like to get cotton planted during the
first week in May. This work VIII
be the order of the first days OF next

THE DRAGONS teeth"

THE Dragons Teeth" a vivid
phrase recalling the ancient myth that
the teeth of the dragon when sown
sprang up as armed men, is the title
chosen by DR.. Henry Van Dyke for
his address to be given at the Convo-
cation of Christian Citizens in behalf
of limitation of armament which is to
meet at Washington, D. G.. on Sun
day, October 30th, and is to continue
in session for four days. DR.. Van
Dyke is not only recognized as one OF
Americas foremost poets and authors,
but also as one of its most talented
platform orators. His address on
"The World to Be- created a pro-
found impression at the Third World
Christian Citizenship Conference held
in Pittsburgh two years ago under
the direction of the National Reform
Association, the same organization
which is conducting the coming Con-
vocation at Washington.

to learn the realities of war since he
was Minister of the United States to
the Netherlands for three years dur

CONSIDER THE
FOREST FIRE
By ]. A. Cope, Assistant State
Forester.

The Red Plague which every
year takes such an appalling toll of
our homes, storehouses and fac
tories, is indeed curse that must
be combatted at every turn. Always
it is lowering i'll the background
ready to take instant advantage of
human weakness to wreck a pleas
ant habitation or a thriving factory.
The loss in the genrality of these
cases is i,}dividual. The owner
even when protected by insurance,
sustains a real loss, and perhaps
profits by the lesson, while the rest
of us continue OH in our careless
way.
There is, however, another class
OF havoc wrought by this demon
FIRE in which the loss is general
as well as individual. | refer to
the Forest Fire.
Timber is the great raw product
of the forest, and each year we
consume in these United States,
fifty-one billion board feet. There
is no line of human activity in
which this great raw product does
not come into use, SO that its need
less destruction by fire becomes a
national calamity. In addition to
this financial loss, are the game
less area, the shrunken stream
beds, the desolate sun scorched
stretches once the delight of hunt
ers, fishermen and autoists. Literal
ly and actually:
Everybody Loses When Timber
Burns"
And just as truly as the fires in
the man-made towns result over
half the time from carelessness
and neglect, SO the fire in the Cod
made country are attributable to
the same cause. First, it is a
hunter that leaves his camp fire
uneXtlngulshed, then 1T is an au-
toist who flicks the butt of his
tailor-made cigarette into the dry
leaves along the roadside, or per-
haps a farmer chooses a windy
day to burn over his new ground,
or again saW-1nill engine is run
without a spark arrester. Bit by
bit the items add up till we get
the amazing total of 10000 acres
burned over each year by forest
fires in Maryland alone, causing a
direct financial loss to the prop
erty owners of the State of
$85, 600.
Two thousand years ago the
great apostle wrote Behold what
great matter little fire kind
leth." Today, it gets the same
little start and works the same
big havoc. Have you any little
fires on your conscience?

Protecting The Farm.

The average farm property, ac-
cording to fire insurance men, is
what they call a poor risk. Many
farm houses, barns and other
outbuildings are annually de-
stroyed by fire. In most of the
cases the fires could have been
prevented.
In the old days most farm fires
were attributed to lightning,
spontaneous ignition in the hay
NOW, an accident to the lantern
or to some misanthropic tramp.
But with our varied improve
ments have come new causes of
fires, bringing with them new
clauses in insurance policies and
the necessity for new precautions.

MONUMENT TO FRENCH COOK
strassburs Committee Plans Honor
for inventor of Pate de
Foie Gras.

Paris, France.-A committee has
been formed at Strassburg for the
of the inventor of pate de foie gras
(fatted goose livers) with truffles
His name was Close and he was cook
to the Marshal de Contades. That
some gratitude is due from the ancient
city is shown by the fact that the
liver and truffle delicacy brought 20,-

On the doors of this newly erected
gateway between the United States
and Canada at Blaine, Washington,
are the words "Open for One Hun
dred Years" and May These Doors
Never Be Closed"
That Canada and the United States
have lived together in peace for LOG
years is testimony to the value of
disarmament and the Importance Of
the coming International Conference
on the limitation of armament which
begins its sessions November 18th.
What Uncle Sam and his neighbor
can do, can also be done by other
nations. If the nations of the world
had had the common sense to disarm
as the United States and Canada have
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise., 1921-10-29

done, there would have been no World
War.
AS this arch is a visible token Of
faith in disarmament, so a spiritual
impulse is to be given to this faith
by the Convocation of citizens called
by the National Reform Association
to meet in Washington, d. c., Sabbath
October 30, to November 2. To this
Convocation representatives Of many
national peace and civic associations
are coming. Representatives OF
churches and Bible classes will also
be present, as we'll as many individ'
uals not official delegates from any
organization. No credentials or en-
rollment fee are required. Daily ses'
sions afternoons and evenings will

The foolish man 70ho built

He gave example in folly which anybody
understand
1t isn't easy, however, to sense the mistake
of trying to build the body on foods which lack
essential nourshnent.
Here again, is foundation of sand which
gives way when the test comes.
Many food that tastes good lacks honesty
OF nourshment to equal its taste. Thus it tenpts
the appetite into mistakes that otter are costly.
rape-Nuts is food which helps build bodily
endurance for les stress and storm The full
nourishment of wheat and matted barley together
with the vital mineral salts so necessary to bone
structure and red blood corpusces, with phos-
pilates for the brain is retained in Grape Nuts.
The long baking process by which Grape Nuts is
made gives the food natural sweetness and an
unusual ease of digestibility and assimilation.
Served with or milk, Grape-Nuts is
fully nourishing and whether eaten as a cereal at
breakfast or lunch, or made into pudding for
dinner Grape-Nuts has particular delight for

by CAROLYN IL. ELLIOTr
Springtime and new life and glad
hope this Easter morning will be
evidenced at the Independent Pres
byterian Sunday school when the
happy smiles Of the children greet
Miss MabeF L. Plosser as she tells
in her own winsome way. Oscar
Wilde's wonderful story of The
Selfish Giant"
To meet Miss Plosser as | did a
few days ago is to. welcome in her
presence some of the gladness of
springtime. She is so young, my
lord and true"-so unselfish in the
use of her talent for the happiness
of others.
Choosing for herself business
vocation with dad otherwise
known as L. X. Plosser). as she ex-
planned to me, this young woman
ever cherishes the gift of the
gods cultivated at the School of
Expression in Boston. not to be
commercialized but for her own
pleasure. and for the pleasure her
readings bring to her friends,
Those who have enjoyed the read
ings of the gifted Mrs. w. L.
Brown Neona PIosser), will not be
surprised that her interest in the
art of expression first enlisted that
of her younger sister, Miss Mabel
Plosser, who gave up music for the
sake of devotng more time to the
art that offered stronger appeal
to her talent.
STORIES TO CHILDREN
II like to tell stories to chill
dren." Miss Plosser confided to me,
Their criticisms are so sincere.
And really if one can hold the at
tention of children, sch can hold the
interest of everybody else. Il enjoy
telling some stories over and over,
and oscar Wilde's is one of these,
which | am to give twice to sepa-
rate departments of the Independ
emit Sunday school,"
THE STORY
Because Oscar Wildes story of
The Selfish Giant seems one par
ticularly adapted to the hope of
the season still young. because it
is adapted to the thought of ever
recurring spring and the life that
overcomes death, j am giving the
thought of it here. not as Miss
Plosser. Will tell it in her charming
way this morning, nor yet in the
we'll chosen words and style of
Oscar Wilde. but in the interpre-
tation as a resurrection message it
holds for me, and that it may
therefore hold for some one else
who believes in miracles.
He must have been very ugly
and unattractive-this big, selfish
man of Mr.. Wildes fancy, because
one day he built a high wall
around his beautiful garden to keep
little children out. who were won't
to come in to play. But as the
stone walls were reared, the
