RuskIn,s nElower Weddinu.n

There Is a beautiful passage about
the flower in one of Ruskin's letters
You will find" he says, that, in fact,
all plants are composed of essentially
two parasitic leaf and the root-one
loving the light. the other darkness !;
one liking to be clean. the other to
be dirty; one liking to grow for the
most part up, the other for the most
part down, and each having faculties
and purposes of its own.
But the pure one which loves the
light has, above all things. the pur-
pose Of being married TO another leaf.
and having child leaves, and chill
dren's children Of leaves, TO make the
earth fair forever. And when the
leaves marry they put on wedding
robes and are more glorious than Sol
ONION in all his glory, and they have
feasts of honey, and we call them
flowers"

For many centuries down to Febru-

WHERE SPoNGEs ARE FOUND
Chief Source Of Highly important
Article of Commerce Is the islands
of the Mediterranean.

Few people who use spOnges ever
give thought as to how they are OBJ
tanned, says a correspondent In the
London Daily Mail The finest quail
ties and largest quantities Of our
sponges come from the Mediterranean
the chief grounds being off the
Greek and Turkish islands-thence
through the Dardanelles to tie Sea of
Marmora, and so along the coast of
Asiatic Turkey and Syria to Cyprus.
Here the sponges are brought up by
divers, either stripped or attired in
full diving costume. When spOnges
first reach the surface they present a
fieshy-lOoking appearance, the sub
stance being covered with a firm skin,
or membrane, in which apertUes ap-
pear and disappear seemingly at the

is somewhat like raw meat In appear
ance, being intersected by numerous
canals and cavities. The cavities are
filled with a sticky fluid of greyish-
brown color, termed milk"
This is the only living portion Of
the animal, and must needs be re-
moved Immediately; otherwise putre-
faction speedily sets In and destroys
the elastic nature of the sponge. II
this operation is not performed on
board before the vessel reaches shore,
the filled sponge bags are dispatched
with all speed to the gathering
grounds. There the fluid is removed
and various cleaning and bleaching
processes transform the raw" sponge
into beautiful lemon-yellow color.
This done, the sponges pass to other
hands for trimming to shape, and
later they go to the graders, who
sort them according to quality and
size. The next process is that of dry
Ing, after which they are weighed and
packed ready for shipment.

CONTROL, FIRE

Fire is good, but it must SERVE:
Keep it thralled-for it will swerve
Into freedoms open path,
What shall check its maniac wrath?
Where's the tongue that can proclaim
The fearful work of curbless of flame 4?
Darling wide and shooting high,
1t lends horror to the sky;
1t rushes on, to WASTE, to scare,
Accusing terror and despair;
And sinks at last, all spent and dead,
Among the ashes it has spread"
The season for greater use of fire
in buildings is approaching. Is your
whole heating plant such as to keep
the fire in thrall?
Sound stoves, furnaces, boilers,
smokepipes and chimneys are neces-
sary to do this.
All these become heated, sometimes
red-hot, and radiate heat in all direc-
tons, and woodwork in contact or
near is always liable to be ignited.
In installing stoves, furnaces and
boilers provide a clearance Of at least
two feet above and on all sides. If
this clearance is not present, protect
the exposed woodwork with metal
over quarter inch asbestos board;
metal alone is no protection, as it
readily heats through. Cover the
boiler with asbestos plaster, and the
top Of the furnace jacket with sand
or other heat resisting materials.
Never neglect the metal stove board to
protect the floor and to catch coal and
ashes
Keep clear distance of one and
half times the diameter of the smoke
pipe between such pipe and the joists
and all wood or ath-and-plaster
ceilings, and distance equal to, the
diameter of the smokepipe to any
wood work or lath-and- plaster wall or
partition on the side. Where such
clearance is not present, put in as
bestos board and metal protection.
Woodwork in contact with a Zone
brick" chimney spells danger, and
should be cut away and the space fill
ed in with asbestos or other heat re-
sisting materials.
A dirty chimney is always liable to
burn out and set your or your neigh
boris roof on fire.
Provide metal receptacles for ashes
and fire proof ash bins or store ashes
in the open, away from buildings and
fences.
These cautions are simple. Every
intelligent citizen knows these facts;
he only sleep-procrastinates. This
representation costs the state nearly
two million dollars worth of prop
erty year, and is responsible for the
loss of many lives. These dangers
are present day and night and a fire
is quite as liable to occur at night
when the occupants of buildings are
in helpless sleep.

and loss from disease, better business
methods in storing and marketing his
products. Such is the prediction of

petition for necessities of life in
which our products will compete with
those of cheap lands and cheaper la
Dor both in Europe and the Orient
All this, he believes, will mean that
America agriculture must be placed
upon an efficient basis.
Improved Methods Needed
Never were the results of our ex-
pertinent stations more needed than
they will be in these days of readjust-
ment," said Russell, "And never was
| there greater obligation resting up
on them so to order their activities as
to aid most effectively those whom
they were designed to serve"
In the course of his interview Rus
sell points out for generations the adj
vance in agriculture was largely
through experience alone, and such
Improvement was almost wholly by
the individual. Then the government
stepped in and founded experiment
stations for agricultural advance.
The result is that more solid progress
has been made in the past so years
than in centuries before.
Exploiting On The Wane
Russell expressed confidence in the
behalf that the exploitive stage of
American agriculture is about over
for as he said, machine methods will
not control bugs and blights. A
knowledge of cause and effect, intelli-
gently applied, alone will do that"
The farmer Of the future will win
only through an accurate knowledge
of better seed, better stock, better
feeding methods, better control of
waste and loss from disease, better
business methods in storing and
marketing his product.
According to Russell, 80 per cent of
the raw materials of production come
from the farms. Never have the
business interests of America, from
financial circles, through all phases
of manufacturing, to the ultimate
units of labor, realized as keenly as
now the absolute dependence of the
entire commercial structure of the ma
tion on its agriculture. If this de-
clines, food costs rise, raising wages
still higher, and making it that much
more difficult for America to compete
commercially with other industrial
centerS.

Lose Two Out of r.
Three to Cynthiana

Last Thursday the Mt Sterling
Essex journeyed to Cynthiana and
took the Harrison county outfit into
camp in a well-played game of ball
by the score of 5 to 2. Leach was
on the mound for the locals, making
his initial appearance in a Mt Ster-
ling uniform, and did not yield hit
after the first inning. He was ac-
corded gilt-edged support, the Mt.
Sterling team playing their first er-
rorless game of the season.
The game here Saturday resulted
in a win for Cynthiana, the score be-
ing the same as Thursday, except re-
versed. The locals almost duplicated
the game played by Cynthiana on
Thursday and failed to get a hit af-
ter the first inning. A recruit from
Irvine was on the mound for Cynthi-
ana and certainly kept the Mt. Ster-
ling batters "eating out of his hand"
Lefty" Townsend was in the box for
the Essex. but was hit hard and op-
portunely.
On Sunday the locals again cross
ed bats with Cynthiana on the Har-
rison county lot, and suffered defeat
to the tune of TO in a rotten"
game. Seltz essayed 10 do the twirl-
ing for Mt. Sterling and was hit hard
and often from the start-and for
the life of us we cannot see why he
was not "jerked" and the fans at
least given a run for their money
However, the support accorded him
was far from perfect, the first bone
head play being pulled by Pergrem
when he allowed Cynthiana's first
tally with the ball in his hand, ap-
parently not knowing where the run
ner was. When he finally did throw
it to Monk he Immediately turned
and threw it TO center field, allowing
two more runs across the pan. Graef-
fer also did his bit in assisting Gym
triana by making two "opportune"
errors. Then on another occasion
Monk made his second bad throw,
which again counted for score.
These bodies all aided Cynthiana, but
did not count for the game. as they
won on clean hits. Another recruit
started to twirl for Cynthiana. but
after he had yielded three hits and
two scores in the first he was taken
out and Shorty" Long substituted
