Sunshine Comes to Susy Smith

well, wen see." and the teacher
beamed at Susy. making her feeI
that life was a wonderful thing
after all.
At noon that day a great truck
drove up TO the door Of the district
school. A doctor and nurse
jumped out and revealed 10 the
amazed eyes OF the children that in
side their wagon were all sorts Of
strange paraphernalia. They found
out that this truck was a travelling
clinic sent out by a local tubercu-
loeis association TO bring health to
those who could not come to the
city clinics. Little Susy among 9TH
ers was weighed. measured, her
teeth were examined and her leg
was carefully noted by the doctor
and nurse.
Wen take her back 10 the city
with u.s." said the doctor TO his com
panion. "She needs an expert"
He asked one OF Susy's sisters TO
run home for the mother. Mrs.
Smith upon arrival was told Of the
Doctors suspicion.
"She has bone tuberculosis OF the
knee. Mrs. Smith, I'm quite sure.
But she can be cured I believe" he
told her. IF you will let her come
in to the city we will arrange every
thing"
Little susy was taken TO the clinic
where an orthopedist confirmed the
diagnosis OF the travelling clinic doc
tor. From there she was sent to a
nearby hospital. Here with many
other little girls and boys she re-
ceived sunshine treatment or hell
otherapy. Her body, part by part,
was exposed TO the suns healing
rays and, after several months the
tuberculosis in her knee was cured.
All this was done at small cost 10
the needy farmers family. And so
sunshine brought unexpected health
and hal JiDess TO Susy Smith.

"Dlv0RCE RING" THE LATEST
Fad Recently Adopted by Those Freed
From the Marital Tie by Court
Proceedings.

From time immemorial woman has
worn on the third finger of her left
hand a plain band of gold as a symbol
of her honored position Of wifehoOd.
And when death takes from her the
partner of her life she signifies her
loss and grief by wearing appropriate
garb.
But in what a different manner to-
day the widow Of the present, that is,
the one who by the sanction of the
courts, has resigned her job as wife,
makes known to all the world her re-
newed state Of single blessedness. For
the grass widow Of today has just
adopted the latest of fads, the "di-
vorce ring" This jeweled symbol of
the severance of the marital tie takes
the place of the former gold band. 1t
is made of gold or platinum on which
is mounted broken Cupid's bow at
the end Of which is set a jewel to rep
resent a divorce. Should the wearer
once more embark on the matrimonial
seas and again come to wreck then
another jewel is added to indicate the
second divorce, and so on.

MORTGAGES INCREASE
WITH VALUE OF FARM
Gain During Last Decade Ap-
pears Almost Startling.
Growth Has Been Most Marked In
Sections Which Have Made Great
est Progress-No Cause for
Alarm, Says Bulletin.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
While the increase in farm mort
gage Indebtedness during the last dec
ade appears almost startling, the
increase is not in itself a cause for
alarm, declares the United STATES
Department of Agriculture in De
partment Bulletin 1047, Farm Mort.
gage Loans by Banks, Insurance
Companies, and Other Agencies, a
new publication prepared by V. N.
Valgren and Elmer E. Engelbert and
now ready for distribution. The in
crease, say the writer's is rather a
logical result of increased market
value of farms. The rise in these
values, in turn, reflects better farm
incomes during the decade than pre-
vailed during the preceding years,
these incomes being to a considerable
extent invested in added permanent
improvements in the form of build
ings, fences, silOs, and drainage and
irrigation systems. According to pre-
liminary reports for the census of
1920, mortgage Indebtedness on farms
$4,012,711,213, as against $1,726,172,-
S51 in 1910 The information avail
able concerning the amount and
sources of farm mortgage loans in
the United States is fragmentary, the
bulletin points out.
A very large percentage of farm
mortgages is the result of land trans
fers, the mortgage, like tenancy, form
ing a rung in the agricultural ladder
to farm ownership. The size Of the
mortgage naturally tends to bear a
direct relationship to the purchase
price of the farm. To the extent
that farm mortgages are the result
of investments in productive perma-
nent improvements and equipment by
existing farm owners, they evidence
progress and not repression. In gen
eral, the increase in farm mortgages
during each decade since data were
first gathered by the census has been
most marked in sections which have
made the greatest progress during
that period. Even where improve
ments are paid for out of savings in
stead of with the proceeds of loans,
the increased value and price of a
farm is quite certain to result in a
larger mortgage in case the farm is
transferred to a new owner.

MADE FOR EMPEROR'S TABLE
Massive Silver Set Ordered by Ma.
poleon ! Put on Exhibition at
New York.

The massive silver set of 919 pieces
ordered by Napoleon /, during the
hundred days, delivered after his alb
dication to Louis XVIII, and used by
the French royal family at Tuileries
palace from 1915 to 1880, has been
placed on exhibition in New York.
Two bullet holes in the soup tureen
bear evidence of the revolutions it has
passed through. Each article bears
the Bourbon coat of arms, the fleur
de lis surmOunted with the crown and
is stamped with the official govern
ment mark, the mark Of the chief
craftsman and Of the guild. Napoleon
| ordered this set of silver from Bien-
nais on his return to France from his
first exile on the island of Elba. 1t
was made during the hundred days of
NapoleOn'S second reign, but before it
could be delivered Napoleon was
forced to abdicate and was again ex-
He'd this time to end his days on st.
Helena. Louis XVIII, his successor,
paid Biennais for the silver and had
the Bourbon coat Of arms placed on
it. The set of silver passed finally to
the heirs of the due de Chambord and
through them has come to North
America.

Of the best commercial varieties
grown. They possess, in addition to
wilt resistance, all the good qualities
of their parent varieties. Extensive
field tests have shown them to be well
adapted to all parts of the United
States in which tomato wilt is present.
The work done in connection with the
development of these varieties is de-
Scribed in new department bulletin.
No. 1915, Development of Wilt-Re-
sistant Tomatoes, by F. J. Pritchard,
psychologist, which may be obtained
upon application to the United States
Department of Agriculture, Washing
ton.
Very few commercial varieties of
tomatoes possess appreciate resist
ance to wilt. The Duke of York and
the Buckeye State, apparently one va
riety under two names, are highly re-
sistant, but they produce poorer fruit
than the varieties developed by the
department
Livingston's Globe is somewhat re-
sistant but its fruit, although of good
size and shape, is Objectionable to
Gamers and also to dealers in some
other markets because of it's purple

Obtain Resistant Varieties.
Superior wilt-resistant varieties
may be obtained by selection from
varieties that normally produce
heavy crop Of excellent fruit, and vary
considerably in the degree of wilt re-
sistance possessed by their individual
plants. Even if such varieties are sus-
ceptible to wilt, if they produce occa-
sional resistant plants. they afford
good material for selection but the Sc,
lectiOns have to be carefully tested
on uniformly wilt-infeSted soil for
period of several years in order to OBJ
tain the best strains or varieties-a
process requiring more time. skill and
expense than the average grower can
give to it. Most varieties transmit ap-
proXimately the same degree of wilt
resistance to all their plants and con-
sequently offer little opportunity for
Improvement by selection. Tomato
plants selected for wilt resistance
usually transmit to their immediate
offspring as much resistance as can be
developed from them by subsequent
selection. In few instances increased
resistance has been obtained in the
second selection, but not in later Sc
lectiOnS.

eighteenth day until the chickens are
Matched.
Eggs saved for Matching purposes
should not be subjected to high or low
temperatures.
In cold weather place from 10 to ID
eggs under the hen; in warm weather
from 13 to 10.
Always try the hen on china or nest
eggs before setting good eggs.
Given proper care and attention, the
hen is the most valuable incubator for
the farmer.
Use insect powder freely to eXter-
inmate lice when necessary.
February, March, April, and May
are the best months for Matching, de-
pending on the section of the country.
If several hens are set in one room,
it is desirable to confne them to their
nests.
Straw and hay make good nesting
material.
Broody hens should be moved to the
permanent sitting nest at night
While corn is a good feed for sitting
hens, water, grit, and dust baths
should also be provided.
All eggs should be tested by the
seventh day, which often makes it pos
sibe to reset some of the hens.

Between making or losing money in
raising chickens there is only narrow
margin. Contrary to many persons
ideas, no magic road leads to success
in this work. Care and attention to
detail are what make one man sue

The following suggestions on incuba-
tion are given by poultry specialists
of the United States Department of
Agriculture:
Have everything ready beforehand,
and start your Matching operations
early in the year.
A well-ventilated cellar is the best
place to operate the incubator.
The machine should be operated ac-
cording to the manufacturers direc-
lions.
See that the incubator is running
steadily at the desired temperature
before filling it with eggs. Do not add
eggs to a machine during incubation.
Turn the eggs twice daily after the
second and through the eighteenth
day. Cool the eggs once daily, ac-
cording to the weather, from the sew
enth through the eighteenth day.
Turn the eggs before caring for the
lamp.
Attend to the machine carefully at
regular hours.
Keep the lamp and wick clean.
Test the eggs on the seventh and

FUNGUS LIVES IN THE SOIL
Four Varieties Have Been Developed
Which Will Produce Heavy Crops

prepared by the United States Department

The only successful means of con-
trolling tomato wilt is through the de-
velopment of resistant varieties, says
the United States Department of Agri-
culture. Tomato wilt causes an an
nual loss of more than $4,000 tons of
tomatoes in the Middle Atlantic, Gulf
and lower Mississippi states. The
wilt fungus lives in the soil and in
vades the tomato plant through it's
roots. Spraying the plant has no eff
feet on the disease, and no important
results have been obtained in the con-
troll of the trouble through soil treat
ment.
Varieties Developed.
-Four varieties of tomatoes have
been developed which will produce
heavy crops of excellent fruit on land
so badly infested by wilt that ordinary
tomatoes cannot be grown upon it.

ANCIENT PATTERNS REVIVED

While designers Of fabrics exploit
the ultra-modern ideas OF art in she
many fabrics now planned for sports
wear. 1t Is interesting to note how
they have gone back to grandmoth-
er's day for designs for cotton prints
which are largely used for women
house dresses and aprons.
1t would be interesting 20 know
whether the popular craze for an
tique furniture has anything TO dc
with this revival OF quaint print de-
signs. Certain it Is that a woman
CARRIED in a sprigged muslin or a
demure calico pattern fits into =
background of old mahogany and
hooked rugs far better than one
wearing a batik smock or a Mimi
frock of futurist design.
The printed muslin which used 10
figure in Victorian fiction IS with us
once more. One company famous
for its fine white muslins for half a
century has this spring brought out
a wonderful line OF dainty printed
muslins In designs that must surely
have been taken from somebody's
patchwork quilt. so demurely old
fashioned are they.
These are in very delicate pink,
lavender. green or yellow.
Rickrack, most sturdy and prac-
teal of trimmings. is often used TO
finish print dresses. and seems par
ticularly appropriate on these old
fashioned looking prints.
