THE BEST BOOK

FTHH soft-tOned clock on the library
\ mantle struck twelve, and the little
boy chasing a butterfly, and who lived
in frame, was just stepping out OF
it to run on the broad shelf below,
when he stopped.
Someone was talking. 1t was the
magic hour, but Little Boy had al
ways been the only one who took adj
vantage of it. He looked about the
room-no one was in sight. He must
have been mistaken.
But no, there it was again! Il tell
you l am the best book to read" said
a voice. Little Boy looked at the books
in the case that reached around the
sides of the room. Yes, it was the
books. They were Quarreling.

than you. am quite new, so OF course
I shall be the most popular"

Il have facts, real true things from
which people can gain knowledge when
they read. l am the most popular
book here, l am sure you will all
agree"
Goodness, hear it talk" said a shrill
voice and another book leaned out so
far 1t tumbled on the floor.
"Ha, ha," laughed the other book,
"you are where you belong, on the
floor. You are full of wise sayings,
but so old no one ever looks at them
these days. Every one knows them
Out from the case leaned red book.
"You seem to forget that people wish
to be amused" it said, "and when
they open my cover they begin to
laugh. am full Of funny sayings and
Jokes, so you all can stop your quar-
reling, for am the most popular book
here"
Little Boy stood listening. He was
afraid the books would all tumble out,
they were so excited, when out from
book jumped a little girl and, bow
ing to all the books, she said, II am
ashamed of you'll The idea Of quar-
reling about which is the most pop
uiar "
Don't you know that there are all
sorts of people in the world and that
they all like different books? If they
didn't, there would be only one book
and then where would you be, for you
must know that grown-ups and chill
dren all love to read about me-"
at is Alice" said the clock In a
soft voice to Little Boy.
Little Boy had never had play
mate he began to smile. "Alice," he
said, "do CONS and play with me. Per-
haps we can catch the butterfly"
Alice turned around. "Oh, can't"
she replied. "Don't you know who
am? / have to be in the story or
there wouldn't be any. l am Alice In
Wonderland Did you never hear the
story?"
mo; tell it to me-" said Little Boy.
~ will have to go back into the
book" said Alice, "but if every one
will be quiet 1 will tell the story"
And all the books in the big case,
knowing Alice told the truth, slid back
into their places The clock licked
very softly while she told Little Boy
her wonderful experiences.
And every night after that at the
magic hour Little Boy left his frame
on the wall to listen to the story OF
"Alice in Wonderland" for, just like
all folks big or little, he is never tired
Of hearing 1t.

Some Will Say It Is Considered Some
what old-Fashioned by the "Flap-
pers" of Today.

AS David Mann, in Charles d.
Stewards "valley Waters" listens to
'Lorena," he visualizes the theme,
thus, Of the old song Of Civil war
times:
1.-THE woman was beautiful. He had
found her to be beautiful in every way.
He had fallen in love with her In her
giI.lhood and had received her love In
return.
"And, having once loved her, he
could no more forget than he could
forget himself.
"What a man experiences has be-
come part of his possessions; 1t must
remain a part of his life.
David could see that the man
would not only continue to love Lor>
ena, but that his love might grow
stronger and finer as time went on.
Having lost her, she would become
d cherished ideal, vision which never
grows old. And as time passed, In
stead Of forgetting her, he would be-
come mure conscious of the lost years
the years that had not been passed
In her company"
That's the way when love is true
and kind. To an age Of 6appers and
tiippancies y It an old eshiCnsd yayl

Peach Growers
Advised to Move
Decayed Fruit

After the picking crews go
through an orchard number Of
peaches are to be found under the
trees where they had fallen dur
ing harvest operations. In most
cases the grover pays no atten-
ton to this fruit, and allows it
to remain indefinitely in the
orchard where it decays and
mummifies. This decayed fruit
, is unquestionably the cause of
much of the brown rot on the
fruit of succeeding peach crops,
and it is very possible that it is
also responsible for quantity of
Of the blossom blight that causes
so many of the blooms to dry up
in the spring without setting
fruit.
1t is indeed a dangerous and
unsanitary orchard practice to
allow peaches to decay and num-
nifty in the orchards where they
have fallen during harvest. Sour
ces of brown rot infection are
theryby created for years to
come. Experiments have proven
that brown rot mummies may be
active in giving off spores for
eight consecutive seasons. Peach
growers are urged TO 20 through
the orchard after every few
pickings and to have all fallen
peaches picked up and destroyed
by burying with quicklime at
least two feet below the soil sur
face. After the harvest of each
variety is completed the trees
should be carefully gone over.
and stripped Of all fruits which
the pickers have missed, in order
: to prevent the formation Of
brown rot cankers on the tWigs,
which will result when peaches
are allowed to rot on the trees.
The Uneeda is especially sus-
gceptible to blossom blight, and
special care should be exercised
/ in Uneeda orchards and orchards
/ of other early varieties to rid
them of all fruits left on the
ground each day after the pick
/ ing has been finished. The
prompt and proper disposition Of
refuse fruit from the peach or
chards in Georgia is a matter
of vital Importance IN safe guard
ing the industry's future, and
peach growers should unite in
their efforts to enforce the pro-
per orchard sanitation.
