Beauty the Home.

There are so many native shrubs.
vines and flowers to be planted about
the farm homes that their absence IL a
d%eplorable fact. In a recent Crive Of
q thousand miles we saw only four
f~armhcuses where attention hal been
paid to identifying them. Naturally,
they were noticed. Don't dot the lawn
with fantastic flower beds Of annual
flowers. Put hardy shrubs around the
foundation, the taller growing mes
behind. Then in front Of these plant
the perennial flowers such as iris, cro-
Gus, narcissus, peony, sweet william,
phlox, etc. Keep the lawn open. A
few ivy or wild grape vines make a
htdeous clubhouse less noticeable.
Shrubs can be transplanted In Novem-
Der. Get as much soil with them ss
possible and lamp the roots firmly in

PATH OF GOOD CITIZENSHIP
Oath Taken by Residents Of Old
Athens Might Be Revived Today
With Good Results. ,

AS a part of the campaign to 'sell
Indianapolis to it's own citizens, :" those
in charge of arrangements for the con-
vention Of the Associated Advertising
Clubs Of the World have written what
they term a sales contract which will
be distributed among clubs and other
organizations. The contract is q re-
minder of the oath that residents of
Athens took centuries ago. 1t said:
1--WE will never bring disgrace on
this, our city, by an act of dishonesty
or cowardice.
I'VE will fight for the ideals and
sacred things Of the city, both alone
and with many. q
I'VE will revere and obey the city's
laws, and we will do our best to in
cite a. like reverence and respect in
those about us who are prone to an
null them OF set them at naught.
I'VE will strive increasingly to
quicken the public's sense Of civic
duty.
"Thus in all these ways we will
transmit this city, not only not less,
but greater, better and more beautiful
than 1t was transmitted to U.S."

Succeeds in holding BasaIt.

The common volcanic rock known
as basalt cannot be easily shaped with
chisel and hammer, but DR.. Ribbe, a
French e~xperimenter, claims much
success for his method of shaping by
molding after it has been melted at
about 1900 degrees Centigrade. His
first product was a CLASSY substance,
which he has since been able to
change to the crystalline structure Of
the original rock by a devitrffying
process. The rock which has been
melted and nodded is found to be SUI
perior to the natural basalt in resist
ance to scratching and wear, and it
proves to be especially desirable for
such purposes as paving, curbstOnes
and stairs. It can be shaped with
great smoothness and e%xactness. AS
the material is not attacked by acids,
1t is suitable for watts for chemical
use; and it is also an excellent cleo
trical insulator, and a useful sub
stance for firmly fixing metallic posts
or other fittings in place by using as
a hot paste.

HOME GARDEN STILL NEEDED
All Food Thus Raised is a Distinct
Gain, Helping to Overcome
Worlds Shortage. ,

Il has beea proved that vrganiza.
tion Will effect a material increase
IN Inc supply of food products. Dur
Ing the war home gardening was car
r1ed on to an extent that very greatly
relieved the shortage. Many fam.
lilies supplied their tables with vege-
tables entirely out of their own gar
den plots. Every ton Of food thus
raised Is a gain. What is needed now
Is organization, and this should be
erected as a. preliminary step. II the
people will support this movement, in
full recognition of its Importance, u
great acreage will be added to the
productive area of the country. The
farm lands that heretofore have pro-
duced market truck will probably be
devoted to other staples, or possibly
to grazing. There will be no waste
land, but, on the contrary, more land
under cultivation.
The seriousness Of this situation
cannot be too strongly urged. Every
person who is in a position to become
a gardener during the coming season
should do his bit for the relief Of the
country from the food s~tringency.-

Home Always Good Investment.

There are many estimable citizens
who do not own a home, but that
does not disprove the fact that home
owning is a cure for unrest and the
nomadic instincts. With persons Of
small means, the ownership Of a home
implies sacrifice and discipline. The
character of the home builder not
only becomes stronger, but he imbibes
unconsciously the essence Of patriot
ism. He upholds American institu-
tons, because he is a part Of them.
There may be other methods of
turning ones savings to profitable ac-
count besides buying or building a
permanent home. But there is no 9TH
er method that gives more solid re-
turns in confidence for the future, in
family protection, and in Americana
zation Of ideals.-Chicago Journal.

When Sunday Was Abandoned.

The movement to enforce a BLUE
Law" Sunday on the people Of the
United States recalls the fact that only
once since the days of Moses on Mt.
Sinai has Sunday been abandoned by
any nation claiming Jehovah as Gcd.
That once was during and Immediately
after the French revolution. A decree
was drawn up by Goblet, archbishop Of
Paris, that the French should worship
Liberty, Equality and Reason in place
Of God, and, to make sure Of the peo-
pies forgetting Of the church, the
buildings were denuded Of their sacred
ornaments and civic feasts substituted
for the feasts Of saints days, while
Sunday was wiped from the calendar
by creating months Of 80 days each
and giving a holiday every ten days.

Every Man to His Trade,

A devoted couple, married a short
time ago, took up their abode in a
dainty cottage in a suburban quarter.
Everything in the house was the lat
est and gave unmixed satisfaction.
But one evening when the husband
returned he found, to his disgust, that
a water pipe had burst. The rooms
were flooded and the carpets, which
were the husbands special pride, were
in danger Of being spoiled.
SWELL, WELL" said he impatiently to
his wife, "why on earth didn't you
hammer the pipe up! Here, give me
a hammer and I'll do it in a twink
ling"
He got the hammer and pounded
away at a pipe down in the cellar.
When he had finished he paused to
examine the result of his labor. Then,
to his complete chagrin, he heard the
sweetly chiding voice of his wife at
the top Of the stairs.
- Howard! said she, "the gas has
gone out, and the water is still run
ming"
Then he sent for a plumber.-An-

Unfortunate Apology.

A certain editor OF, a country news
paper in Kansas was asked to leave
the community as the result Of a typo
graphical error in his report of the
wedding Of the mayors daughter, re-
lates Pep. After exhausting his sup
ply Of large words about the "blush-
ing BRIDE" he had said: "The large
elaborate bouquets Of roses were
punk" -
The mayor demanded a correction
and apology in the next. weeks issue,
all Of which the editor was glad to
promise. The next issue contained:
"We wish to apologize for the man.
ner in which we disgraced the beauti-
full wedding last week. Through an
error Of the typesetter we were made
to say "the roses were punk What
we wanted to say vas the noses ere

CORRECTNESS OF SEPARATOR
Minnesota Farmer Discovered He Was
Losing 364 Pounds of Butterfat
Every 80 Days.

Defects in the separator will, in the
course Of time, make heavy inroads on
the dairyman's receipts from butterfat.
For instance, the testing Of skim milk
to ascertain how the separator is
working is not regarded important by
some dairymen. But in the ase Of
one herd Of IS cows. In Minnesota,
which. produced 1000 pounds Of but
terfat last June. the skim milk was
tested and found to be carrying of
864 pounds of real butterfat every 30
days. This is vouched for by L. V.
Wilson, agent In dairying for the UNI
ted States Department Of Agriculture
with headquarters at University Farm.
'aThis farmer" ssVs MI. Wilson, "pur-
chased a new separator the next day
after the skim milk was tested. This
incident ought to be a sufficient lesson
for prompting many others to deter
mine the accuracy of their s%eparators."

Dancer in UncIean Dishes.

Just how serious is the danger Of
infection from i~mperfectly washed
dishes in eating places has not been
determined, but the high count Of
bacteria left upon restaurant utensils
suggests unpleasant possibilities. In
the investigation Of Roy s. Dearstyne,
health official of Charlotte, N. c., the
utensils were from six eating houses,
Of which one used a modern electric
dishwasher. The bacteria on hand
washed coffee mugs from different
lunch rooms ranged from 10000 to
100000; on water glasses, $4,000 to
100000; spoons, 3,40O to 10000;
knives, 1900 to 10000; forks, 1900
to 1900. With the Clearly machine
washing, the coffee mugs had $500
bacteria, no other utensils more than
1000.

therefore the community has no right
whatever to give them life sentences
Of imprisonment" A very few Of the
larger animals, he admits, may affect
human life injuriously, but they form
an i~nffnitesimal portion Of the inhabi-
tants of a geological garden. On the
other hand, 1t is argued that we never
thought Of combining those animals be-
Heved to be the most injurious, namely
insects-and therefore it is plain that
"the punishment. does not ft the
crime"
Even If 1t were granted that animals
are happier in captivity than in their
native wilds, this can only be meant
relatively, for though protected and
cared for, animals in captivity are de-
MED the primal joys Of liberty and fit

being their power Of exercising their
suppleness of body or strength Of wing
in graceful movements, and not least
Of all joys, the power Of satisfying
their continual curiosity.
Much has been done for animals, and
much more might be done for the wild
birds. For the eagles, hawks, condors
and vultures the writer feels that
nothing can be done. He quotes from
that great lover Of birds, w. w. Hud-

IMPORTS OF BUTTER
For First Seven Months Of This Year
22,s55,0e0 Pounds Shipped to
United States.

The record for butter imports es-
tablished In 1919, when 9,519.368
pounds Of butter and butter substi-
tutes were brought into the. United
States, was short lived. Following the
recent announcement Of these impor-
tant figures by the United States De-
partmeat Of Agriculture the depart
ment has compiled reports for the
first seven months Of this year which
show that the United States during
that period imported q, s 900 pounds
Of foreign butter, which is more
than ever before. =.
This remarkable increase Is at
tributed by foreign marketing experts
Of the departments bureau Of markets
largely to the foreign exchange stu
alton. With American dollars. COM
manding a premium throughout the
world it is obviously good business for
foreign butter manufacturers to sell
their product in the United States. For
e1gn manufacturers also have the ad-
vantage of low cargo rates. Another
reason for the increased imports is
that whereas England was formerly
Denmark's principal butter outlet,
England can now purchase butter more
cheaply from Australia and Argen-
tina. Ireland also is producing but
ter on a larger scale.
The effect Of the exchange situa-
ton Is also reflected in a decrease of
American butter exports. Thus, 49,

With uncertain footsteps he climbed

his ~anti-catlike tread.
Thinking to brighten him, she COW

In wonder at the spOok.
