SPRING WEATHER CONDITIONS.

There has been some disappointment with the
weather of late. Until the last snow came things
were progressing nicely. The winters snow was
nearly all gone; the roads were drying and rapidly
being worn down for traffic, and the fields were dry
ing SO fast that seeding seemed only a few days off.
Then came the snow and changed the aspect of
things very decidedly.
There is no cause for worry. The man who
had got out his car and had to put it in storage
again is naturally not very enthusiastic over the
snow. But there is plenty of time yet for an carly
spring. There is such d thing as having warm
weather too early. Most OF us welcome spring no
matter how early 1t appears. But our weather al
ternates between warm and cold waves, and the
greater the degree of heat, the greater is the reac-
ton likely to be when it comes. Unusually warm
weather in the early spring is likely to be followed
by storms which are followed by a rush of cold air
| from the north, and when that happens before we
are well on our way to establishment, we are pretty
sure to experience frosts which injure all tender veg
citation.
The late spring opening affords the greatest
measure OF security against damage by spring
trosts. Hence it is quite satisfactory from the crop
standpoint to have the opening of spring delayed
not duly shortened.
Ibis is particularly true where fruits arc grown.
Cnseasonably warm weather starts the buds too
early, and then comes a frost and nips them off. A
Minnesota apple grower was threatened with such
a disaster a few years ago. Warm weather had
come very early, and the buds on his apple trees
would have developed long in advance OF the usual
time. File saw visions of a ruined apple crop. Near
him was a little lake. He cut ice, tons and tons OF
it, hauled it and packed it around the bases of his
trees. The sun kept right on doing business, but
the ice held the frost in the ground long enough to
prevent blossolnlng until blossoning was safe.
The present snow will not last long if the
weather becomes warm. 1t will turn rapidly into
water, and the little streams will be swollen for a
time. But inasmuch as there has been some thaw-
ing, the earth will absorb more of this water than of
that from the winter snow. In that respect the
snow will prove an excellent thing, as there is
usually little danger OF. too much water here pro-
vided it is absorbed by the soil.
People are fond of talking about weather and
crop signs A particular kind Of weather in the
winter or spring is often said to presagc a good
crop. 1t is comfortable to have faith in a sign that
promises well, but it is not safe to act ON the sign.
we nave mad good crops and poor crops after all
sorts OF winter weather, and nobody yet has been
able to trace any direct connection. Really the
weather during the growing period is about what
makes the crop SO far as the weather is a determin-
ing influence. Fortunately while everybody knows
OF a few signs, nobody pays much attention to them.

THE PUBLIC DOESN'T KNOW,

Public opinion is. the determining factor in i'll
dustrlal disputes. 1t is true that disputes, of this
character are sometimes determined for the time be-
ing III a manner which is not supported by any we'll
defined public opinion, and it may be that the de-
c1sion is actually contrary to. such opinion as has
been formed. But in those cases the public has not
developed sufficient interest, or has not had means
OF information available on which to. base I, real
conclusion. But where the subject is recognized as
beng OF general interest, and where adequate in
formation is available, the settlements effected, to
pc reasonably permanent, must harmonize will,
public sentiment.
The fuel question is one which affects every
citizen Of The country. A very large proportion OF
our people are directly dependent on the local sup
ply for the heating Of their homes, and all muse reiy
on that factor for the prosecution Of the industries
which directly affect the welfare of all. If the coal
supply is not continuous and ample, and il the prices
are not properly adjusted to the general price level,
all the people suffer.
The coal strike which is to begin on April / will
interrupt the supply of fuel, and will inevitably re-
suit IN the maintenance Of coal prices at a higher
level than ought to prevail. Half a million men are
about to walk Out, and the mines in which they have
been employed will be idle for weeks, perhaps for,
months. There IS 4 dispute between miners md o.

CATS NECESSARY TO

Hayes, Kas.--America can have

1T. Hays normal school told the
Saturday Afternoon club in "a lecture

life.
Cats should be confined at night,
especially during the nesting season.

Prof. Wooster continued. The bounty.

POOLING THE BIRDS.
The story

The story that comes from Cleveland OF the
picture OF a tree painted on a blank wall which was
SO true to life that birds attempting to alight on it
We're dashed to death against the wall will remind
some readers of the ancient story of the rival Gre
cIan painters who engaged in a contest OF artistic
skill. The first painted a cluster of grapes SO realis-
tlcalIy that when it was exposed the birds came and
pecked at it. Elated over this evidence of his sue
cess he asked his rival to withdraw the tapestry
which concealed his picture. Great was his dis
co1ntlture to ind that the tapestry was itself the
picture. The one painter had been able to fool the
birds, but the other had fooled the artist who had
fooled the birds. Hence the second was the greater
artist.

Her skin vas Of the hue and of the
sheen OF creamy silk, and glowed be-
meath its hue. 1t presented an1az-
ing delicacy and yet All exquisite
firmness. Children, playing with her,
and she delighted in playing with
children (but she was childless), often
asked to stroke her lace. They would
stare at her face in that immensely
absorbed way i'll which children stare,
and then ask to touch her face and

not more softly silken. OF her hair
Lady Tybar had said frequently, from
her sirlhood upwards. that it was "a
most sickening nuisance" She bound
It tightly as If to punish and be firm
with the sickening nuisance that it
was to her.
Her Name was Mona.
Out of a hundred people who passed
her BY quite a considerable number
would have denied that she was
beautiful. Her face was round and
saucy rather than oval and classical.

would have said, and did say. oh,
no; pretty, perhaps, in a way, but
that's all.
Hut her face was much more than
beautiful to Sabre.
Greetings had been exchanged; his
apologies for his laundering descent
upon them laughed at. Lord Tybar
was saying, Well. it's a tiger Of a
place, this Garden Home of yours,

Its not mine" said Sabre. "God

"Ah, you've not got the same beau

ANOTHER SHAKEDOWN.

The new Nonpartisan league management pro-
poses a popular subscription Of one dollar each from
all the persons who voted for Frazier~in the recall
election for the purpose Of providing the si1,ews of
war w%herewith to carry on the primary election
campaign: If the members, all come through ON this
basis a tidy sum would be realized, considerably
over 100000. Some question may be raised with
reference to the expenditure Of funds in a political
campaign III excess OF the amount provided i'll. the
law. One reply to that would be that the Nonpar-
t1sa11 league is not a political party-which it is not,
ott1c1ally--and that it may therefore spend all the
money it can raise.
1t is also declared that the post-dated checks
and notes signed by members are to be paid, Also
out Of the dollar a head?
Some OF the leaguers may be reminded Of GER
tam controversies which arose in connection with
the financial management Of the organization prior
to the late election. Members had made contribu-
tons OF various amounts, and had done so on the
assurance that the money was to be devoted to the
financing of the recall campaign. 1t developed that
tine committee in charge, which has just been GUST
cd, has been using up this money for the payment OF
certain obligations incurred earlier, obligations
which most OF the members did not know were in
ex!stcpce:> The charges made in connection with
this matter resulted iii one of the periodical ;ex-
|ploslons which have characterized the operations OF
the league.
1t may be that some of the Members, recalling
these facts, will want to have some assurance as TO
the purpose to which their dollars are to be devoted.

days or whenever the soil has dried out

Young plants grown In this treated

seeds sprout better and the plants
grow much faster than those planted In

TEST THE SEEDS YOU SAVED
Use Small Box in Basement Window
to Try Out Corn or other Seed
to See ii Good.

Experienced agriculturists take no
chances on corn and other seed If
there is any doubt as to whether or
not it will terminate. 1t is just as
important to the small gardener to
know that he has good seed. The best
way TO determine this is to plant small
quantities of the various varieties of
seed that have been saved. IL the
seed sprout up in the window boxes
il Is good test. If the seed dc not
sprout and make reasonable growth
you may be sure that it will be use
less to plant the seed in the open
later when regular planting time
comes. 1t is worth while to know If
the seeds are all right.
