PETRIFICADO'S NOTE
 BOOK

Army order No. 5287 states that all horses must be removed from Mare Is. land by May 1st. The pre- sumption on the part of the government is that tn e horse-fies will follow th e horses off the island an d thereby rid the island of that abominable pest. Of course all the mares will be left on the island as it is a we'll known fact that horse flies will not bite the mares.
 Wife and 1 went to see Bebe Daniels in the 'Lion's Den" the other night and the play was so fierce that 1 had to wear shock absorb CTS ali evening.
 Yesterday a young gentle man who lives in Larson, a village on the Santa Fe just east of where we are stationed was arrested and brought before Judge Gull liver Martini of Stockton for stealing a blind pig from MT. M.

And because they had each lost feather from their wings and their beautiful woodke blocks of chalce- dony forgotten and left behind, and because their halos slightly bent and very dirty, ther mothers would never let them come out to play any more.
 So thatis why parts of the country are dull and dingy in color and it's because of the little runaway truants from the Jasper Walls that the sunset hues still dye the Painted Desert the canyon walls and the domes and ravines of the Blue Forest and this is why the chacedony logs and blocks lie thick in the fantastic bad
 land country where the big little angels dug holes with their haos and forgot their blocks!

In Your Own Heart

As one of the characters in play, given last week by members of the Chautauqua, said in explaining her unfailing source of happiness and courage:
 'No matter what Pm doing, 1 can be queen in my own heart It don't hurt the queen none and it don't cost me nuthin'."
 There is wonderful source of inspiration in that thought. Our inner dreams tighten many heavy burden we have to bear Dick Swveler and the March oness of one of Dickens stores playing cards by the light of tiny candle for two grimy sixpences laid in a saucer between them, the dingy walls in the base ment belonging cruel old Sally Brass melt into the gleaming tapestries and sconces of palace Imagina tion their escape from the commonplace. Thus they bore the tedum the petty the hunger of that London sum.
 Being bored with things and people fatal not to them indeed but to you It sign of circumscribed view not of the landscape but of human life.
 Riding thru this country on fast train or in speed ing automobile it may be easy enough for many to make the mistake of thinking and sayng--we have heard it often:
 ''How can people live in such place?"
 But let the man of discernment and intuition catch glimpse of the turing beauties of the desert and he half nvitationa distances with the farbeckonng butes until the very heart of the desert itself with it's radiance of shimmerng opaIescent color lies open like book be- fore his gaze
 Happiness is an attitude of mind, beauty is always present if you have the seeing eye "As thinketh in his heart is he maxim that has lived through the centuries is just true today it ever Out ward actions the reexes the mirrors of inner thought So the moral of the play Happiness pretty fine thing
 "l can be queen in my own heart"

A New Story About Some Old Things.Fo Fol
 All Children And Some Grown-Ups

Of course this isn't true story. The best stories never are. Have you noticed that?
 Well, upon time, oh long ago that all this country just level flat monotonous plain one day some of the younger angels got tired of playing round the jasper walls of the Great White City and unnoticed by sleepy old Saint Peter slipped of the great Pearl Gates, and ran away.
 Now, while these were just little young foolish an- gels still you must know that the very smallest of them was much bigger than Woodruff Butte You see they weren't just ordinary children But they liked to do the same things. Oh yes indeed!
 So all together in merry group they sat down on the level plain and commenced to play. And one said 'Lets make play-country" And all the other angels said, "Let's do." So they began.
 Now when they slipped away from the Great White City one or two had been playing with their toys and had careessy brought them along One had beautiful blocks and sticks of purest chalcedony which had been left when the walls raised around the wonder fu city These blocks and sticks with their gorgeous coorings the little big angels played with as they sat there on the sand
 Now two or three of them took off their halos and used them scrapers and really it wonderful what holes they dug and what domes they piled up Another took his finger and made long crooked mark in the sand and clay and said m call this river And they all said;
 What is a river?", and he answered.
 ''l don't really know. Sometimes it will be full of sand and water, and sometimes just sand.---but just the same, people will call it river"
 Then after little while one of the brighest of the little angels, think he grew up to be Israfe said:
 '1 don't like this play country Look how dngy it s It isn't white end shining like Beautiful City,
 ''Now we'll each take feather from our wings and our mothers will never miss just one feather when we go back and we-------.'
 So each one pucked out gstening white plume from his snowy pnions He dipped it in the first pink rays of the morning sun; he plunged it in the ultra m n fho iUht ak hof fllo0 scarlet and orange and gold from the sunset hues and then with the loving of childish fingers he painted the hollows and hills of his own play-country
 But before they were through with their work, cross old Gabriel blew on the great brazen dinner horn and they all scampered back through the Gates of Pearl

ASPARAGUS GROWING

Some of the finest asparagus ever
grown in Delaware is being sent to
northern markets, and while the
prices are not SO high as earlier in
the season, the results show farmers
they can grow asparagus at a decided
profit. Early in the season farmers
were receiving as high as 60 cents a
bunch, but with the price now around
70 and 80 cents the farmer is getting
steady profit and finding a steady
demand.
In the last six years asparagus has
been extensively grown in Delaware
and as high as $1,000 an acre has been
cleared some years. 1t takes consid-
cradle time for an asparagus bed to
reach the good-bearing stage, but
when once started and in bearing
shape, farmers find an acre of good
"grass" is more profitable than a
peach orchard or drove of cattle
Profit is reasonably sure, the "grass"
carries well in shipping and the work
is not difficult.

CAKE SHOULD BE USED IN
SELECTING FERTJ JZEr

In selecting your brands of COM
merclal fertilizer this year, it is a
good idea to have at least two varie-
ties, alternating them. A pulverized
sheep manure or shredded COW man.
ure, with some of the balanced fer
tllizer make an excellent combination,
Application of the same fertilizer
gardeners say, seems to have a ten
dency to turn the soil sour and the
plants get "fed up'' on it. They need
variety of food much as does an
animal.
The continued use of commercial
fertilizer is balanced by the occasional
use of lines, especially if the soil
shows tendency to turn sour. This
is indicated by thick growths of the
common sorrel or sour dock, as it is
sometimes known, and by the forma-
tion of moss in shady, moist spots.
The fertilizers usually bear a series
of numbers that sound like a football
signal. These may be readily inter-
preted when it is known that they
usually represent the proportions of
elements in the fertilizer and in this
order, available nitrogen, phosphoric
acid, potash. For instance, 3-11-2
would indicate three parts of nitro
gen, eleven parts of phosphoric acid
or phosphates, and two parts of pot
ash. 1t is the commercial way of ex-
pressing the chemical formula of the
fertilizer.
The application of commercial fer
tilizer should be invariably a light
one to be hoed in. Light and often is
the motto to observe. 1t wastes the
material to put it on too heavily, as
the plant can use only certain
amount and the rest is lost. AS it is
in concentrated form, it may prove
too strong and induce in some cases
too rank a growth of foliage.
