 A Foxglove (degitalis), in com- mon with a great number of our gar den flowers and shrubs, is poisonous but you must actually swallow some part of the plant to be injurious.

 A. There is some doubt about the advisability of mulching yucca. Ger | tainly fresh manure should be avoid.
 ed light mulch of leaves would

Cost of Doing Business
 After more than years work the joint congressional commission of agricultural inquiry, aided by an army of statistical experts, has just made its report on the causes of the present condition of agriculture, the relation of prices and the mark et- the country. The report is recorded in four large volumes, cost a lot of money and required enormous labor, but who Is going to read it outside of some students of economy. cer- tafnly not congressmen and senators The farmer, the manufacturer or bus iness man, certainly won't have the time, but if every individual wo,ud study these reports carefully, he would surely begin to understand something about the cost of doi lg business. The vast number of factor s that go to make the enormous total would be more than a revelation to us all.
 Because you know man is char rging you a big profit on what he sells you Is no sign that there Is any net profit left to the seller. The report shows that nearly every com smodity has 6 downward tendency, but tha cost of the whole business IS constantly increasing.
 Death of H. c. l..
 Jf Some of us may have forgotten the term H. c. L., so often used during tho war. meaning. of course, the high cost of living. A publication of nationwide circulation solemnly Announces the death of old H. c. L., Siving as tho cause, the national crop report recently issued. The total value of tho leading staple crops reach the astounding figure of s12.- o00,000.000. The report is con cluded with the announcement that several estimates are unQuestionably too low and c further increase is to be expected. The big item is corn, with yield of S.o00.ooo,ooo bushels; wheat shows up with S05,0o0.Ovo bushels. The list Is not a long one, but each important item Is stagger- ing in its quantity. These food crops will be consumed by some one land 1t would be interesting to know what the ultimate consumer will pay. The assumption, however, that the high cost of living is dead is very much in error. There are SO many things that make living expen- sive that the average person canact and never will be able to account for. The sensible thing to do, if

MINISTER sUsTAINs BURNS

The fire alarm was sounded
on Friday morning, 18th, about
9 o'clock. The truck fastened to
the Methodist parsonage, but
found the fire already put out. 1t
was caused by an oil stove catch
ing fire in the bath room of the
parsonage. Rev. A. L. Ormond
in attempting to extinguish it,
turned the stove over and this
caused the flames to spread. He
and his son, William, finally
showed the stove out, but not be-
fore he was burned on the right
hand and sustained a few bis
tiers on the face. Williams trou-
serS were scorched.
