There is a saving of about one-half

the improvement in patterns and

Dear Miss Lee: am almost II and in
love with boy of about 10. My mother
does not approve of him. She says he is
not nice. But he treats me like a sister and
never says anything out of the way. l
meet him and mother knows nothing about
it. Is that wrong? NJ. p.
Yes. Tell your mother how the boy
treats you. Perhaps she is judging
him by gossip. ASK her to let him
come to see her.
But don't take this seriously. You
are too young to bother about boys
except as friends

What Do You See

June. the month Of beauty
We all say that glibly enough, but
do we really see this beauty with the
eye Of the mind and Of the soul?
Do you, iding across long
stretches Of rolling country, see the
unfolding Of the elms, like spreading
fountains Of green or in columnar
strength that makes them giants
among their kind?
Do you know that nook where the
white birches and the dark pines
mingle in a way to inspire a poet?
Do you see the red-winged black
bird out there by the old tamarack
swamp, perehed on the gray stem of
a last years cattail, uttering his
CHEEKY cali?
Do you know that down by the
river, Curved like a Bonded bow"
the white and pink blossoms of
Towering trees are falling like snow
flakes in the softencd breeze?
DO you know that on thousand
lakes the lily pads are already form
ing promise Of full glory in
summer
DO you see these things? Do you
know them? And seeing and know
inc, do they not draw you closer to
Wisconsin, DO they not make you
feel kinship with its past and de-
sire to play even a greater part in
its future? DO they not make you
want to preserve the things nature
has given us and develop them, that
the Wisconsin of tomorrow, rs an
ideal vacation land may be even
crcater than the Wisconsin which
has gone? Milwaukee Journal.

Figures do not lie Statisdclans,

says the Insurance World. One Of
them has been sitting up nights and
as a result of his burning the mid

startling conclusion that 225.0OO man
years have been spent, wasted, frit-
tered away during the course Of the
current year through strikes alone.

trary, that he has figured on the basis
Of an eight-hour day. We are now liv-
Ing in the year 1923. Some few Of US
will probably live 10 see the year 2O00
To realize, however, what 225.0O0 years
means Is beyond human cOmprehen-
sion How many hours day are
wasted by men engaged in the insur-
ance business? How many eight-hour
day years have been spent foollshly?
What might have been accomplished
II every insurance man were to devote
eight honest-to-g goodness hours, six
days every week, to development Of
the business3 We are not sufficient Of
a statisticlan to work out the answer
We will not even hazard a guess.

perlence Figure 1t out for yourself

OF the Pan-Hispanic movement little
is known outside a narrow circle IN
North America-we know too little of
our neighbors, writes David Y. Thomas
in the North American Review. If the
Economic Interpretation of history" is
the correct one, then the Pan-Hispanic
movement seems utterly hopeless, for
the economic interests common TO
Spain and her former colonies are
very, very small. But some day we
shall learn that economic determi-
nants are more powerful among some
people than among others. That they
are powerful in the United States is
beyond dispute that they are not
equally powerful in Latin America
seems also beyond dispute. Blood is
thicker than water" Is an expression
with which Americans are familiar.
Some day, perhaps, we shall learn
that spiritual ties of blood and cul-
ture are stronger than bonds forged
Of gold Pan-America has not arrived.
Before II does we may have to change
our attitude on some questions.

How Coffee Is Grown.

TOFFEE usually is spoken of as
~ berry or bean, but that part of
the coffee tree that we use is really
the seed. The trees grow naturally
to a height of from twenty to thirty
feet, but this natural growth is
checked by the growers, who keep
the trees as low as five feet The cut
ting does not injure the tree and it
is far more convenient to gather the
fruit
The coffee tree begins to bear when
1t Is about three years old and 1t
continues for about twenty years. the
singular fact about it being often
noticeable that the fresh blossom and
the ripened fruit will appear on the
same tree at the same time
The fruit of the coffee tree is round
and red and looks like our cherries
and, being sweet to the taste, is eaten
by the natives as we eat cherries
Each berry contains two seeds, the
beans with which we are familiar. in
closed in a skin, with their fiat sides
together. The meat of the fruit is
valueiess. SO when the fruit is gath
cred IT is dried so that the seeds
may be easily removed.
How coffee first came to be used
as drink Is not known, but 1t has
been so used for at least a thousand
years I'm Persia. 1t was introduced
in Europe about 800 years ago.

Get Rid of Mountain.

EoR some time past, it seems. work
men near Bisbee. in Arizona, have
been trying a new venture in copper
mining. Instead of following the pre-
scribed method of following out a
mountain and using shafts and tun-
nels. they dig 1t down with steam
shovels and cart it away. One can
form some idea of the magnitude of
the task when he learns that it will
take more than sixteen years to COM
plete it, that during the process ap-
proximateiy 25,00o,000 tons of copper
ore will be carted away. ana that
from it something like a billion
pounds of copper will be extracted.
During the five years the work has
been carried on five million cubic
yards or more of material have been
taken from the mountain, though that
amount does not represent pure ore.
AS fast as the material is dug 1t ia
hauled over a fifteen-mile railway to
smeiters and mills, where it is treated.
An engineer humorously remarks
that when the huge pile Is gone there
will be room for the town to grow.
