Most Convenient Shape
for the Family Garden

The most convenient shape Is rec
~tengular with the rows running the
long way Of the garden. 1t is usually
more desirable TO have the annnai
crops nearer the residence and the
perennial crops on the farther side
with the orchard lying just beyond.
The early maturing vegetables such
as peas, beans, radishes. lettuce, etc.
are preferably located nearer the resi-
dence than squash, potatoes, onions.
corn, etc. Where poultry is kept, IT
is usually more desirable to fence In
the garden rather than the poultry.
II land is available 1t is better to ar
range for horse cultivation, spacing
the rows about 80 inches apart.
Planting tables are very helpful In
planning the garden. They can be
found in state and government bulle-
tins, books on gardening and In many
seed catalogues. They give such in
formation as the time of planting,
depth Of planting, distance apart OF
rows, quantity of seed or number OF
plants for q 100-foot row, time for ma
turity and estimated quantity for each
member of the family.

Varieties of Cdnories

Canaries were known In a domes-
ticated state at the close of the Four.
teenth century, though they may not
have been common, as Gesner, who
wrote in 1855, said that he had new.
er seen one. Variation among them
began early, as partly yellow birds
were known at Nuremberg in 1914
and In 1877 wholly yellow canarles
(also a white Variety were recorded
from Augsburg, in Germany. an early
center for the fancy. The various
forms have had their origin in dis
tinct geographic areas, and though
some are almost extinct at present,
all at n time or another have had
a devoted following Of ~fanciers. Al
present at least IA distinct strains,
with a large number Of varieties, are
known.

Dominant Traits Not
Transmitted by Male

Il is women, and not men. in the
long run, who transmit family traits,
points out Rheta Childe Dorr In an
article In Liberty.
"Highly-bred male lines III out long
before female lines of equal rank"
continues the author. Constant wars
account, In some measure, for this.
In every great war large numbers of
superior males are killed OF, leaving
Inferior types to perpetuate the race.
The superior women, however, are
not killed of, and they not only trans
nit their heritage to future genera
lions, but they educate and train the
children born to the inferior male
types.
Even leaving wars out af the ques-
tion, 1t Is a strange fact that lineal
male lines disappear earlier than the
female lines. Thus women are not
only the physical carriers Of the race,
but carriers also of Its cultural heri-
tage."

Unhappy Those Whose
Hearts Are Wrinkled

A wrinkled face Is often beautiful.
In the old a smoth face looks I'M
natural. Wrinkles can tell life sto-
ries. They have a charm Of their own.
Never mind about wrinkles on the
face" said an old French writer, "but
take care that you have not q wrin-
killed. heart"
That was a striking image, says the
London Chronicle. The meaning Is
plain. We all know people whose
hearts are wrlnkled. They are not
people we like or admire.
There Is old Mr.. Greedy, for ex-
ample, whose heart has a deep fur
row of selfshness across it. He has
always thought Of himself first; has
sought his w advantage and cared
nothing for the welfare Of others.
This Is the result.
The heart of the cruel man is
notched by a series of hOrrid marks,
almost gashes; that Of the lazy man
has little flabby dents on 1t.
"Calais.' Queen Mary said, would
be found ON her heart. On the hearts
Of everyone Of us our thoughts, our
passions. our ideals, u %endeav0rs,
leave marks faint or strong. Let US
beware they do not make ugly marks.
A sorry burden is a wrinkled heart.

Section Hand Falls
Dead on Tracks

iFroid.-Paul Sakireka, a Russian,
who has been working on the Great
Northern section between Froid and
McCabe, dropped dead Wednesday as
he was working on the track. He
vas taken to Bainville where an in
luest was held by the county cor
oner, the verdict of the jury being
that he came to his death from Ell
Their hemmorhage of the lungs or
heart failure. He was apparently a
man of about forty-five years of
age. On his person we're found a
few letters written in Russian. No
thing could be learned of any rela-

Clean Drain Ditch
Gives Best Service
Work Should Be Done as
Soon as Frost Is Out.

With the value Of drainage bitches
depending largely on how clean the
bitches are kept 1t. Is well Tor farm'
ers TO prepare for the annual often
cleaning, suggests E. X. Gross. chief
In rural engineering at the New Jer'
sey State College of Agriculture.
Much of farm field drainage must
be done by opening bitches. Such
bitches do their work properly only
when the sides and bottom are cut
out annually 10 remove the deposit
of clay and silt left there by last years
water. But this Is not the only reason
for cleaning the bitches. The expert
enced men tell us that more water
seeps into a newly cleaned ditch tina
into an old puddled one. They are
right.
Not only Is 1t necessary TO remove
the dirt, weeds, grass and trash which
have been deposited in the ditch; the
hard, puddled surface the water mas
made during the past season must
also be removed. Three things are
therefore accomplished by cleaning
bitches: Removal Of rubbish anu
vegetation, strengthening of the sides
and bottom, and opening of the pores
of the soil so the water may not only
flow freely in the ditch but may also
percolate through the soil to reach
the ditch. Drainage bitches should
be cleaned as soon as the frost leaves
the ground. 1t is well to do this JOB
before field work begins.

Nowhere has the practice Of cheer
ing taken such a place as In America.
1t has no real analogy at English
schools and universities. English
crowds. 1t is said, became familiar
with 1t only about 20 years ago when
the New Zealand football team intro.
duced the cries of the Maoris into
their matches there. The word cheer
in the sense of shout Of encourage
ment or applause is really Of recent
coinage. The meaning does not ap-
pear In johnson, and Defoe speaks Of
1t as a sailors word.

DEVELOPMENT THROUGH AGES
TRACED IN LOCAL BANKS
NEW SERIES.

NEW SERIES.
How important a part the devel-
opment of money has played in the
advancement Of civilization from the
earliest days to the present, is
brought out in interesting fashion in
a new series of unusual illustrated
folders just prepared for distribu-
tion in this community by the Farm
ers and Merchants State Bank of
Plentywood.
Speaking of the series yesterday,
Mr.. Bull, president of the bank, de-
clared that the main purpose of the
material, which will be distributed
free, is to bring about a more gem
eral appreciation of the evolution of
money as a medium of exchange,
the principles that govern its use,
and the part it has played in deter
mining the character of the modern
business and industrial world. That
this important message ear best be
carried by handsomely printed fold
ers, Illustrated in colorS and with at
tractive pen-and-ink sketches by
skilled artists, is the thought of the
banks officers, since there will be
an incentive to save the series not
only because of the pictures but be-
cause of the entertaining manner in
which the text is written. Every fact
is well authenticated.
1t will be impossible to read the
folders without obtaining a clearer
idea about the origin and develop
ment of money, its real nature, what
it does, and what happens when the
fundamental laws concerning its
manufacture and use are disregarded.
Money has always been something
Of a mystery, even to those who are
most successful in accommodating it.
The people of most nations in the
past have relied blindly upon their
rulers or others in authority to pro-
duce it honestly, to protect it from
initiation and to redeem it promptly.
Economists are authority for the
statement that most of the economic
disasters that have come to nations
in the past have been due to mistak-
en- judgments and unwise actions in
the administration Of the financial
policies Of those nations.
To p a~ctically every American the
subject of the development Of money
is vitality interesting, for we all are
concerned with it because of its eff
feet upon our happiness and pros
perity.
Our country has been a laboratory
for experiment. Our forefathers
made mistakes, but through profit
ing by them we have developed a
sound currency and an equally strong,
effective and adaptable banking sys-
tenn. Here is q subject that touches
every one. 1t is full of human inter
est, of amusing episodes and of
dramatic incidents. 1t is just as i'm
p~ortant that we should know our
country's financial history as that
we be familiar with its political his
tory. One concerns us as much as
does the other. One is as interest
ing as the other. Furthermore, nei-
Their can be understood completely
without a knowledge of the other.
A review of the folders in the new
series indicates that they will be re-
tanned for reference by a great many
people. Written clearly and enter
tainingly, they at the anne time EN-
phasize facts that will be new to ev-
en- the best informed.
