WEEKLY BOOK REVIEW

owls were still trying to sleep in
the darkest corner but all the others
were wide awake, and making uT
as loudly as they could for the hours
they had wasted in silence"
Some Class
And just listen to this by the
authors.
&c. From every cabin came
gettingup noises. Some beasts
rolled slowly on to their feet, shook
themselves, blinked once or twice
and were ready for the day. Others.
like the vain Tigers, who were ter
ribly proud of their shining coats,
went through long business of
lickening, starting with their hind
quarters and ending up with their
front paws and the difficult places
behind their ears.
For the rest, there was a big
bath at the end of the passage. This
was for the use of those who liked
a cold bath before breakfast, and
quite a lot of animals did Soon
arose n great noise of splashing and
snorting and gurgling and snuf1ing,
followed by peals of laughter"
And I judge that there must have
been lot of trouble when Mr.. and
Mrs. Hippopotamus tried to take
their morning plunge at the same
time.
Mr.. Hippo told the others that he
and his good wife, Anna, had always
had their baths together. And, ac-
cording to the authors, the little rats
all scrambled out of the pool as fast
as possible.

the youngsters pass this one up.

The special entertainment numbers
at the lawn fete last Friday night
at the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur

special mention. Miss Louise Wal

charge of this part of the program.
The numbers by Misses Juliet and
Kathleen Miley and Master Charles

indeed, and showed that this young
lady has much talent and ability.
The accompaniment for all these was
played by Miss Laura Campbell. Miss
Thelma Dick, with Miss Dorothy
Watson at the piano, delighted with
her singing of "Toreador Mine" and
"Bye Bye Blaekbird." The affair
lasted from until 10 o'clock.

WILL THE FARMERS HELP.

To combat the ever-going waste by
fire on farms of Our Country, the
Agricultural Committee of the Nat
ional Fire Waste Council was or
ganized July IA.
Farm fire losses aggregate some
S155, 100000 a year, to say nothing
of the vast economic wastage which
is a by-product of these losses. Pro-
fessor g. |. Christie, at whose insti-
cation the Agricultural Committee
was appointed, says:
individual action by farmers is
the chief solution of the fire problem
on our farms and practically the
only solution unless inventions and
developments make fire fighting APP
paratus more useful than they now
are with the sparse settlement and
Emitted water supplies of the coun-
try districts. Farmers should realize
that they are paying an enormous
tax annually through this loss and
that they have it within their power
10 educe the amount of the tax con-
siderably. 1t is important that their
attention be called to methods that
they can use to prevent a large part
of this enormous destruction. Some
good work has already been done
along this line by insurance COM
panies and others, but that the pres
ent work is not adequate is shown
by the fact that the loss goes on in
increasing volume"

THE NEW DOLLAR BILL.

Shortly there will be issued by the
United States government new
dollar bill which will be two-thirds
the size Of the one now in use. 1t
will replace the old dollar bill be-
cause it Is cheaper 10 make. It re-
quires less paper, less ink, smaller
engraving plates and reduces the
cost of distribution. The saving in
paper alone will amount to a million
and half dollars year.
Not so long ago the government at
Washington began to spread propa-
ganda to increase the use Of silver
dollars. The argument was economy
because the life Of silver dollar is
so much longer than the life of a
silver certificate.
The average life Of a dollar bill is
one year. and since there are always
a half billion dollar bills in the peck
cts of the people Of the United
States, it follows that this number
has to be printed annually, to re-
place those worn out. $500. -..-......
The reaction to the government S
dollars was unfavorable and treasury
department officials, seeking a cam
paign for wider use Of silver was TO
overcome the enormous expense Of
printing dollar bills. hit upon sbe
plan of decreasing their size.
Undoubtedly the people do not
want silver dollars. They have dem
onstrated this because the use of one
dollar bills has increased seven times
since 1900 and in the last decade the
number Of dollar bills In circulation
has grown from forty to fifty per
cent of the currency.
Government is to provide for the
wants of the people, and if they wish
less weighty money, it is their right
to have it, because they pay the bills.

THE REASON WE PROSPER

America is on the highest plane Of
living the world has ever known. The
wants Of the people are enormous,
and to supply these wants, industry
and business all around the circle
are active.
The fundamental cause of all our
prosperity has not been the activity
of any one industry or group of in
dustries, but the great increase of
per capita production which has
made it possible for each worker to
share in a larger way in the return
from industry (high wages and
steady employment and thus main
tanned consumption on level equal
even to the higher level of produc.
ing, together with the growing d.
versification of industry, has contrib.
Bted to increased stability and has
made business less susceptible to
shocks at any given point. says the

ORTY-BUSHEL WHEAT ON
WORKOUT LAND.

That it is possible and profitable
to rebuild WORKOUT farm land with
out the use of livestock manure has
been indicated in a number of field
tests but it remained for the Penn
sylvania State College to fully DEM
onstrate the plan on a practical
sized farm. The net result of this
work to date is that a badly depleted
tract of land has very quickly been
brought into a high state Of fertility
as shown by wheat Yields of % to 43
bushels and clover hay yields Of 212
tons per acre.
The plan followed on this farm is
based on the results obtained on the
old fertilizer plots, the oldest in
America, which are now in their 18th
year. Il consists, briefly, in a corn
wheat-clover and timothy rotation
second crop of clover and timothy
plowed under; commercial fertilizers
applied for corn and wheat; lime
used as needed to secure stands of
clover.
The demonstration was started IA
years ago in order to give definite
answer to the question, Can worn
out soil be built-up without manure
The first wheat crop after the in
auguration of the plan made II
bushels. or Just the state average
for Pennsylvania at that time. The
clover and timothy crop seeded in
the wheat made ton crop which
was plowed under. The second error
of wheat made AZ bushels and the
1925 crop Al bushels per acre. Nc
wheat crop, since the first one after
starting the fertilization. has Welded
less than 25 bushels, clover anC
timothy regularly making 2 to 21a
ton yields.
The farm superintendent, Mr.. c. l
Cooling, who has charge of this
farm believes that it demonstrate.
the only way in which thousands OF
depleted fields can ever be made
protitably productive i'm localitie:
where livestock manure is scarce ant
ats cost prohibitive for general farm
crops.
"The root systems of the clover
and timothy furnish a lot of decay
ing organic natter, he says in ans
wering the question how he keeps III
the humus of the soil, And any
how, I'm not farming for humus-
it's Yields I want"
This experience does not lessen il
any way the Importance of livestock
manure where available but it does
show conclus.velv that rundown OF
WORKOUT farm land need not be left
so because Of scarcity or entire lacl
of livestock manure. Lime and fer
tilizer enough to start clover for &
green manure crop and additiona
plant food as needed for the grair
crops will work wonders in REBUILDING
the WORKOUT soils which NAV b.
