CUSTOMS.

Most everybody has wonder ed where the customs of shak- ing hands and lifting the hat originated. The question of or igin has probably been inspir- ed by thoughts of the futility and uselessness of both cust- oms. One theory of the origin of the hand-shaking custom is that prehistoric man proffer- ed his right hand to the passer- by to indicate that he had left his club at home and was bent on some peaceful pursuit. The custom has deteriorated to a ,ess significant salutation.
 The custom of lifting the hat $ supposed to have originated when knighthood was in flow er and armored knights rais- ed the visors of their helmets lpon passing a lady that they might the better see and be seen. But today one is more apt to hear "tip the hat" than lift the hat" Is there any re-

point out that man demands thoroughbred horses, cattle, sheep, dogs and cats and they dream of a Utopia--such as H. c. Wells describes--in which men and women will be thor oughbreds, mentally, morally and physically.
 None will gainsay that most, if not all, of society's ills spring from those who are sub nor mai mentally, morally or phys ically. Normal men and wom- en are not found in the jails, asylums, sanatoriums and poor houses. But doesn't the fact, that only a small portion of civilized. man is deficient mentally, morally or physic- ally indicate that humanity was we'll along on the road to the eugenic's Utopia long be- fore the first eugenic invented a title for himself?
 Man can not apply to himself the same laws of directed propagation he observes in the breeding of horses, for while man is master of the lower animals he is not yet complete master of himself.

HELP OF ALL NEEDED.

Every citizen interested in the future of Hyder dreams of the time when it will be a bigger and better community. He wants it to have more fine homes more industries, more stores and more becoming pub- lie buildings.
 These are commerGable hopes but they accomplish little or nothing unless they inspire eff f.I's aimed at fulfillment. Castles in the air are beauti. ful to dream about but a "dream city" is not what pro- gressive citizens have in mind.
 To make Hyder a bigger and better city its people must do something besides dream about it. The booster must do more than talk about the won- ders of his home town, and others must do more than talk about cooperation.
 A community grows when the great body of it's citizens concentrate their mental and physical efforts and financial resources on this one idea of making it grow in size and prosperity.

THOROUGHBREDS.

Man--through care scientific breeding and training--has made the horse the noblest, most beautiful and most intel ligent of all animals. The thoroughbred is a living monu- ment to the ingenuity of man, upon which man, although it is his own modelling, can not gaze without awe and admir- ation. Why do men and wom- en go to the race track and the circus? Is it to gamble at one and to see the clowns and acrobats at the other? Those are the attractions for many, but vastly more are lured there by desire to see the sleek coats. classic heads and fine proport ions of finely trained and we'll bred horses.
 The thoroughbred horse is a favorite illustration of the pro- ponents of eugenics, which is only scientific breeding ap- piled to the human race. They

Staked Tomatoes
May Lose Money
Except in Wet Weather
Vines Pruned and Tied Do Z
Not Thrive Better.

Many vegetable growers believe that
they can get an earlier crop of better
tomatoes if they prune each plant to
single stem and tie it to a. stake
than if-they allow the plants to grow
naturally on the ground
Sometimes this Is true, but some
times it works the opposite way, say
vegetable growers at the New York
State College of Agriculture at Ithaca,
for experiments which they have CON
Quoted show that the results depend
on the weather during the growing
season.
Early Products Wanted.
Growers who supply the general
market are more interested in an
early product that is uniform and at.
tractive than in high yield. In
wet season, especially when it is
cloudy and wet when the plants bios
som and the fruits set, wines that are
pruned and trained may produce
earlier and yield more. On the other
hand, in normal or dry seasons, vines
that are pruned and trained produce
considerably less marketable tomatoes
and the crop is not much earlier. In
very dry seasons, the fruits have more
sun-scald and more blossom-end rot
If they are pruned ard trained than If
they are unpruned.
Ordinarily the yields of tomatoes
are reduced by increasing the distance
between plants in the row. Pruned
plants set two feet apart in the row
and rows three feet apart produced
more than similar plants set two and
One-half feet apart in the row. and
unpruned plants set three feet apart
In rows four feet apart did better
than those set four feet apart in the
row.
Cost Increases.
Since pruning and stalking greatly
increase the cost of. growing tomatoes.
the returns from each acre and for
each bushel must be considerably
higher. The higher cost of growing
staked tomatoes is due to the larger
number of plants needed for each
acre, for $500 to 1900 more are need
ed; the cost of 5000 to 5000 STAKES:
cost of Irvine for tying; and the cost
of labor required to set the stakes and
to prune and tie the plants to the
stakes.
The additional cost, which usually
exceeds 500 an acre, may be partly
offset by the smaller saving in labor
in preparing the product for market.
Tomatoes grown on unstaked vines
come in contact with the soil and
often must be wiped to remove the
dirt. This, of course, adds to the cost.
but it is small item compared to the
increased cost of growing the crop
by the pruning and stalking method.

CITIES BUILDING
GOOD PAVEMENTS


"A census of city paving, begun jan
uary l, and just completed by the
American City Magazine, shows
total of S39,000,O00 square yards of
paved street in the 1000 leading cities
of the United States.
This yardage is equivalent to $4,000
miles of roadway 18 feet wide
enough TO span the country from coast
to coast % times and accommodate
two continuous lines of motor traffic
moving in opposite directions and
each containing 44,520,O00 vehicles.
The mileage of the paved streets,
as shown by the census, is equal to
one-third the total steam and cleo
trio railroad mileage of the country
and 81 per cent of the total mileage
In the federaI-aid highway system
1t is $4,000 miles more than the
mileage of the latter system thus far
improved with federal-aid funds and
Is equal to one thirtyfifti of the to-
tai road mileage Of the United States.
Results of the census, therefore, in
dictate that street paving in the cities
is more than keeping pace with the i'm
provement of the rural highways,
fact not generally appreciated.
New York city. from 1920 to 1926,
added 100000 yards of pavement to
her streets, thereby raising the total
from 41,375,000 square yards in 1920
to 48,OS2,000 square yards in 1926
Chicago, from 1920 to 1926, showed
gain in paved streets of only 6S9,670
square yards, but in the same period
that city raised the standard of paw
Ing much higher. Chicago's total
paved streets in 1920 were S,430, $50
square yards in area while in 1925 the
total was 39.120,000 square yards.
Philadelphia had conspicuous
gain of 1892, 900 square yards in the
1920 to 1926 period, Philadelphia's
total paved streets in 1920 were o.
609,962 square yards in area, while
in 1926 the total was 25,541,G63
square yards.

ROAD
BUILDING
NAMES OF NOTED
ROADS CHANGED

"There Is no more reason for abol-
ishing the names of our famous high
ways than there would be for abol-
ishing the names of crack trains,
says Charles M. Hayes, president OF
the Chicago Motor club. 1T is right
for the railroads to establish numbers
for their trains. and these numbers
are always used by railroad men; the
= familiar names, however, are used
the travelling p3blic. The Twen-
century, the overland Express,
The Seminole Limited, known only
~ numbers, would lose half their ro-
nance. The same Is true of our
highways.
Calling state and federal high
ways by numbers is the efficient
method, but in using numbers we
should not abolish the historic names
that have attached themselves to
those highways. No routing agency
would wish to go back to the old sys-
TEN of using names only; the combi-
nation of the official number and the
unofficial name Is IDEAL Such names
as the Lincoln, Grant, Dixie, Ap-
palachian, Old Spanish trails, and the
National Old trails have tremen-
dous historical and geographical sig
nificance. Travelling over these roads
Is more of an adventure than II these
famous names were to be discarded
for the highly efficient and highly I'M
personal numbering system.
1.-THE recommendation of the joint
board of the interstate highways at
I Washington to eliminate the names or
highways has met with organized OPP
position all over the country. 1t is
pointed out that at the beginning OF
the good roads movement, men have
been moved to give their funds be-
cause of the inspiration of such names
as Lincoln, Lee and Harding; 1t is
also pointed out that the travelling
public has become so familiar with
these names that much confusion
would result in eliminating them en-
tirely. The Appian and Ostian ways,
known as numbers q and %, would
never have gone down in history.
Let us retain our numbers for eff
cheney, but let us retain our names
for sentiment; in this manner the en-
gineer and the layman will be salts
fed"

Protect New Pastures by
Graduating All Weeds

Cows do not like weeds, and newly
planted pastures, particularly where
the stand of grass and clover is poor,
should be moved to destroy these pas
ture pests.
weeds do considerable harm to
pastures" says S. J. Kirby, extension
agrOnOmiSt at the North Carolina
State college and student of pastures.
"As a rule, we find more weeds In
those pastures where there is poor
stand of grass and clover, but even
where there is a good stand in one
and two-year-old pastures, it is not
uncommon for weeds to give much
trouble. Where the weeds are mown
once or twice after seeding the pas
lures, the sod gets ahead and the
weeds give little or no trouble there
after"

the greatest injury to pastures from
weeds comes from the choking and
