Health and Happiness
in Paint and Vornisi,

Paint and varnish are friends of
children, protecting them when you
are not aware of it. Not now and
then, but all through the year the
cleanup and paint-up idea should be
In vogue. The well-painted home, in
side and out, is, Of course, the SAM
tary house. Cleanliness is not pleas
ant for germs Disease does not lin
ger long in the home where floors are
immaculate and where walls catch
and hold the blessings of sunshine.
There is a wonderfully new Ameri-
can creed, voiced by the mothers and
and fathers of the land: Home shall
be the abiding place for happiness,
content, mutual interest. home shall
be pleasant place to live and in
which to raise children. Flowers shall
bloom and rooms glisten in the sun
light. Nowhere shall neglect, nor the
mood of the sloth be expressed Each
to our appointed task, eager and will
ing to do his share. And because we
unite to commemorate this high ideal,
mothers day and fathers day shall
be every day. dedicated to better cities
and finer homes and therefore to finer
citizenship"

Community Spirit

One of the unfortunate features Of
life In the average large city is the
loss, sooner or later. of community
spirit. In centers Of moderate size 1t Is
easily possible to develop and retain
such a spirit. When anything is to be
done the community or its representa-
tive citizens can get together and dis
cuss the matter. In each case the COM
munity welfare is viewed as whole;
not in fragments In districts or Sec
tions. Students of municipal life and
it's problems are beginning to regard
the disappearance of community con-
seriousness as genuine detrimenr.
The existence of large numbers Of
organizations, civic, commercial and
what not, each with its own set of in
terests, is seen to be possibly more
of an obstacle than help to progress
of the whole center.

In Spring Cut Out and
Bury Raspberry Canes

The way black raspberries propa-
gate is this: Late in the season, Sep
TENDER and October. some of the new
shoots bend over until they touch the
ground and the tips take root, form
ing new plants.
These may be left where they grew
until the following spring, when the
parent cane is cut off just few inches
above the new plant and you have a
new stock Of plants. The old fruiting
plants never sucker, but a sufficient
number of new shoots. later called
canes, come up each year to form a
new bush.
AS soon as the berry season is over
or the following spring, cut out and
burn all canes which have borne fruit.
These are all through, will never bear
again and If not removed will stand as
dead brush. Many growers leave them
until spring to help hold up the new
canes during heavy snow, ice or wind
storms. Not d bad idea. There is no
much more to be said.

Soy Beans One of Easy
Crops to Grow on Farm

Soy beans will grow on all kinds of
soils. Soy bean hay is more nutritious
than cowpea hay and stock like it bet
ter. AS milk-and-butter producer,
they are equal to alfalfa and superior
to cottonseed meal. A bushel of soy
beans is worth more for feed than
two bushels of corn. They can be
hogged down without any harvesting
expense. When cut at the proper
stage of growth, the hay is equal to
alfalfa for dairy cattle. Drought and
excessive rainfall effect them less than
cowpeas.
1t is one of the easiest crops to
grow and harvest. They make fine
hay pasture. They can be grown with
cowpeas to hold the pea vines off the
ground and will improve the quality
of the hay and make it easier to cure.
They increase the yield of the follow
ing crop. They make a rich and nu-
tritious hay and one of the cheapest.
One can always find ready sale for
both beans and hay. They are one
of the most economical of soil i'm
provers. They require no fertilizers
except acid phosphate. Plant more
soy beans.

duclng an average Of 200 bushels per

dent, says William Stuart. potato spe-

Cause of Low Yield
OF the many factors causing a low

poor seed Is one of the most impor-
tant, says Mr.. Stuart The American
potato grower, generally speaking.
pays too little attention to the quality
and quantity Of the seed used. The
California record was due in part to
the use of 40 bushels of seed per acre,
almost twice the quantity generally
used even by the most progressive
growers.
Perhaps the best way for the aver
age grower to be assured of good seed
Is to purchase certified seed" Certi-
fled seed Is being produced by groups

who give special attention to the pro-
duction of seed that will pass state
inspection as to yielding ability, uni
formity, trueness to name, and free
dom from disease.
improved Seed
There is abundant evidence that GER
titled seed is improved seed, and that
1t will yield much more than common
or grocery store" seed. For instance,
the average yield in Michigan last
year was 122 bushels per acre, while
the average production from certified
seed was 256 bushels per acre. This
represents a gain of 1874 bushels on
each acre planted with certified seed.
In comparative tests made last year
by the Tennessee state experiment
station certified seed produced an av-
erage of 1873 bushels to the acre, while
the yield from uncertitied seed was
but 102 bushels per acre.

What Weepah Looks Like.
The camp of Weepah itself is not
large. 1t is situated In the heart of a
barren country where water. grass,
trees. birds and beasts are unknown
The landscape for hundreds of miles
is made up of nothing but mountains,
foothills and great fats or valleys
where stuiGpy sagebrasIi Is the prin-
cipal verdure.
1t Is In country where roads can
be better classified as trails off the
highways.
Traffic, road and rail, goes to Tono-
pah first; that is an established town
capable of taking care of the influx
of fortune hunters and sightseers
Then it pours into Weepah. For that
reason those who make money at their
business or trade and those who have
ground near the strike are the only
ones who are living in Weepah, al
though a number pitch camps there
nightly while on the road.
The town is a squalid little camp
at the base of low hill spreading
out onto the fiat. No townsite has
been staked out yet, and the inhabi-
tants have picked out their locations
for their homes by using the squat
ters rights Most of the inhabitants

the cook shack, store or club room.
Scattered among these outfits are the
city camper, whose tents are always
newer and contain many more con-
veniences than do. those belonging to
the prospector.
Four frame dwellings were already
on hand at the camp, which belonged
to the Gold Electric Mines company.
Since the camp started the majority
of dwellings have been tents During
the last week or so there has been an
influx of building supplies. as all the
available trucks In Tonopah were
brought into service, and now the
frame buildings are becoming more
numerous These buildings spring up
in but few hours after the supplies
arrive in camp.

to beautify cities than any other fac

Garden clubs are of various charac-
tiers ranging from those of distinct So

of small groups of earnest women
who seriously study plant life, garden
design, culture, and who do their own
gardening Other organizations make
their garden efforts part Of city

works such as the planting OF parks,
Fairgrounds, school wards and other
public institutions.

hired help. They must actually SOW

Pouring in and out about the tables

There is always a good group hang
ing around Frank Horton, ST., when
he is In Weepah. and he Is accepted
as being the father of the camp; for
1t is he who has been trying to SELL
that particular section of the country
for long time. Having won and lost
one big fortune he handles his work
now with admirable capability. The
sudden visions of wealth and the Inn
mense quantities of mail offering him
He is always the same jovial man
each day.
Each day Horton takes trip out
to the camp to see that everything
runs smoothly there. He listens to the
tickle praise of those who come to
Weepah, and attends to his duties on
the ground until early evening. Back
in Tonopah at night he smilingly re-
jects more offers to help him, and at
the same time listens gravely to the
plans of others who are eager to show
him how he can make fortune.

Thirteen Sacks of Ore.
Up on the side of the hill where the
cut has exposed the gold ore are 13
sacks of ore. They weigh approx
mately so pounds each and have an
estimated value of somewhere be-
tween $4,000 and 100000. accord
ing to the elder Horton. These are
left for public inspection each day,
and at night they are placed in the
cut once more, covered with an old
wagon top and guarded by man who
sleeps there.
No work is being done on the pocket
or vein of ore for two reasons. One
is that there is possibility of its
petering out, and the other Is that
people are looking at it most of the
time.
Although there Is no established law
In the camp at Weepah, there is a
very trustful attitude among the resi-
dents there. Stories concerning claim
jumpers are sent out occasionally, but
such cases are few and far between.
The average man who has lived in the
desert for any length of time realizes
the value or helping rather than hurt
ing the other fellow, and ne lives by
that rule. His tent is always open to
any one who may need it or anything
In it.
Whether or not Weepah will prove
to be camp great enough to produce
millfonaires in the same manner that
Tonopah, Goldfeid. Virginia City and
other famous Nevada towns did Is at
this stage of the game probematical.
Until enough work can be done In the
field to prove that the district is
really rich one there is always the
doubt that 1t may be just 'iivver."
