This afternoon Puds Simkins and
sid Hunt started to have a argument
wich snored the loudest, Pudses unkle
or SidS father, PudS saying, Enybody
that says they know enybody that can
snore louder than my unkle, wy they
either don't know wat their tawking
about or they must be crazy, either
that or they don't know wat their
taWking about.
Well enybody that says their unkle
or enbody eltses unkle can snore
louder than my father never herd my
father snore, either that or eIts their
jest ornerry ignorent, Sid sed. Wy
one time wen we was out in the
country for the Summer there was a
old sawmill that wasent werkinG eny
more, and my father was snoring next
TO open window to get the air and
the next day it was printed in the
paper that the Sawmill was working
agen, that's how loud my father
snores, he Sed.
Well my unkle snores so loud he's
got a reputation for 1t, one time my
unkle was snoring jest medium and a
pleeceman rang the bell and asked if
enything was a matter so jest magine
wat it would of bin if he was reely
snoring his full strength, Puds sed.
Don't tell me enything about snoring
he sed.
You cant compare a pleeceman to a
sawmill, can you? Puds sed, and Sid
sed, Well ! tell wat III jest do, Ill
jest bet you a thousand dollerS my
father snores louder than your unkle
Ill bet you 10 thousand he don't,
PudS sed.
Neither one of them proberly hav-
ing even D cents, and Sid sed, Well
how are you going to prove it?
How are you? Puds sed.
Neither one not having eny ideer
how, so they got in a game of hop

Petunias and Verbenas.

"Petunias are garden lifesavers,"
remarked. What would a newly
started garden do without them"
Yes" agreed Mr.. Burbank, begin
ners in the art of gardening gener-
ally do and should think first of pc
tunias, and If they are careful about
color combinations there is nothing
more satisfactory
These little plants were started in
the Spring, and are now almost ready
for blooming, but seeds may be sown
now for late blooming. Only the best
plants should be retained, the finer
varieties having good, stocl5y stems,
and the leaves large and set closely
on the stems, while the buds are thick
and compact. At the end of the Sum-
mer some Of the best plants may be
cut back severely, potted and brought
indoors for Winter blooming
Many dislike petunias," / said, be
cause the old varieties generally ran
to magenta, but some of the new ruff
fled and fringed varieties are lovely
enough to convert any one"
You would not think the petunia
belonged to the Solanum family, which
includes so many and varied connec-
tions as the potato, eggplant, Jeru-
salem cherry, jimson weed, tobacco
and tomato.
The history of this large tribe OF
20 families and 800 species would be
very interesting if 1t could be traced
back and we could see just where the
different plants were influenced by
their surroundings, generation after
generation, until a new heredity was
created and each plant became disti-
guished by different traits and char
acteristics.
And then Mr.. Burbank adds to the
problem by producing still more va
rieties," / said.
Mr.. Burbank smiled and shook his
head
THE petunias may be classed
among my interesting failures for,
although my experiments produced
some striking results and illustrated
several points of value in plant breed
ing, these results were not OF practi-
cal value, though the new blue pc
tunia and a few others are fine ex-
ceptions."
What plants were crossed with
brids, which were not of practical
value?"
THE petunia,' explained Mr.. Bur
bank, was crossed with one of the
tobacco plant species. The hybrids
at first resembled the tobacco plant
almost exactly, but later on they de-
veloped varieties in color and a trail
ing habit like the petunia; some
grew tall with large tobacco-like
leaves, but the roots were small and
delicate, more like the petunia.
This lack of vitality made the

He became quite famous Every

Vegetable Stews.

Vegetable stews are truly delicious
and very satisfying. They are made of
mixture of vegetables that can be
varied with the seasons. The vege-
tables must be thoroughly cooked, but
not boiled to pieces. A good combi-
nation at this time of the year is po-
tatoes cut in inch-anda-half cubes,
drained canned corn, canned peas or
fresh string beans, small whole onions,
sliced carrots and tomatoes. The
vegetables should be simmered to-
gether in the canned tomatoes until
they are tender and, moreover, colored
by the tomato. You have no idea how
much more interesting this stew is If
the potato is colored from the tomato
than if it is left white.
You can add beetS sliced thickly,
turnips cooked in separate water and
added at the end. cut-up asparagus
almost any fresh, good vegetable.
And, of course, you can leave out
some of the vegetables without harm
ing the stew. Potatoes, tomatoes and
onions are the foundation.

HOW 1T STARTED
Calling It the Calendar.
BY JEAN NEWTON.

Calendar" the word which desig.
mates the chart by which we reckon
and arrange the divisions of the year
into months, weeks and days, has a
story in its name.
1t comes to us from the Latin 'kal.
enderium," an account book, which
goes back to ''calends" or ''kalends"-
and there we have the story.
The Romans made a threefold divi-
sion of the month into Kalends, Nones
and Ides. The "Ides of March" is fa-
miliar to every reader of Shakespeare S
Julius Caesar" In certain months
the Nones fell on the 7th. the Ides on
the 18th; in other months the Nones
came on the 18th, the Ides on the 18th.
But the kalends came always on the
l1th of the month.
Since the first and most important
division of the year is its charting
into months, each of which began with
the Kaiends. the evolution of the word
calendar" is easily comprehensive.

smartest effects are undoubtedly
gained when the material is used
alone with the aid only of a little silk
piping or facing. Dark backgrounds
with rose designs showing shades of
red are probably the most popular,
though such combinations as green
and red, violet and blue and gray
background with rose and green in
the rose design are chosen by well
dressed women. Usually there is a
scarf of the same material to go with
the frock and sometimes a hat draped
with it likewise.

a good fish salad. Break the cold,

The interesting thing about the sit

that they became a trihe common

Hebron Finishes
Schedule Saturday
Against Kent's Hill
Especial to Kennebec JournaD


Hebron, June 4.-The Kents Hill
game for the championship of the
State, to be played at Kents Hill on
Saturday, closes Hebron's schedule.
Kents Hill, although overwhelming ia
vorites to down the Big Green, tasted
defeat two weeks ago on the Hebron
diamond, when Vic Knowles, the Hill
toppers' strikeout phenom, was touch
ed up for plenty of hits by the Hebron
stickmen. The Hebronites had it over
their opponents on the fielding side of
the ledger, and their opportune hitting
turned the favorites back by to 8
score. Saturdays game is anyones
and Knowles may toss a battling brand
of ball. The Big Green club has hit
him once and are not awed by his rep
utation, as was the case at the begin
ming of the previous encounter.
Scribner will again start against the
Kents Hill crew and, aided by perfect
support, has a good chance to repeat
and thus clinch the championship for
the Big Green. Scribner, former Bruns-
wick High twirler. stepped into the
box and did a good job of 1t, too, when
Hebron lost her only pitcher of reputa-
ton. Coach Dryers comment on this
years club is that Hebron has not had
such perfect box support in years.
There is apparently no weak spot on
the team. Thus far Hebron has been
defeated but twice-once by Exeter in
the opening frame, and by the Univer-
sity of Maine Freshmen. Her victories
include Bridgton, Bates Second, Coburn
twice, Mexico High twice, Abbott
School, General Electric of Lynn,
South Paris A. A. and kents Hill.
