There are so many things that children do in fun that have a de- cided bearing on their behavior in later life. One of them goes by the appalling name of ''compulsion."
 We hear e lot about 'obsessions'' and ''complexes' but "compul- sions'' are more or less obscure in the parental vocabulary. Let me try to explain what they are. A compulsion is not indigenous to children. If you go back every time you leave the house to be sure you have locked the door, although you are sure you did so before you left, you have a compulsion. If 1t be- comes a habit of which you cannot break yourself you can call 1t an obsession.
 If, to go on, you know very well that you have put the correct ad- dress on a letter but begin to wor- ry the instant it disappears into the corner box, that, too, is a compul- sion, an obsession if it gets bad enough. Do you worry about every letter you post? You would, per- haps, if you could, go. back and lift every letter, look it over, and reassuring yourself that 1t was all right, go merrily on your way.
 We are all full of these habits. They are more or less symptoms of nervousness but like so many other things we do they have their be- ginnings in childhood. Oh no, not the same habits-children don't bother about addresses on letters or locking doors, but they do other things equally abstracting that lead to complications later, sometimes serious ones.
 Habits Not Outgrown
 Did you ever wet your finger, tap your palm, and pound your fists together for luck when you saw a white horse? To let one pass without the magic sign was bad-oh very bad! If you missed one it was on your conscience and you perhaps ran block to catch up with that horse and give the countersign. Did your code include cracks in the pavement? Back there at the Smiths you knew very well you had to let a toe trespass So back you trotted to do that par ticular pavement over again so that misfortune would not hang onto your coattails all day long. Or there was a pin you failed to pick up Back to search for it.
 We outgrow habits for awhile in fact forget all about them dur ing adolescence and young matur- ity, then the pull of illness or re- sponsibility or worry begins to get in It's work, and the outcroppings of early habit put in an appear ance. We don't realize 1t but we have not grown up after all. Of course it would be foolish to imagine that all children are in- evitably affected by the silly little customs they pick up here and there as they grow and play. But

on charity?" asked Chummy, with a touch of proud revolt. At this Judy flared up.
 eff you call 1t charity when a lot of people adore you, and would do anything in the world to keep you we'll and happy, and simply gloat over every little thing they can do for you! I call 1t something | else"
 A very humble look came into Chummy's proud face. In the years of her mental stagnation she had acquired a certain way of ordering people about and taking things for granted that was not natural to her.
 "Oh, Judy" she whispered. "how wonderful you've all been to me! I'm beginning to understand. must have been quite helpless and like a child. { suppose wasn't mad ?'' she added anxiously.
 "Of course f1ot!" was the em- phatic answer. "What an idea! And now that you're we'll again. everything will be all right. You can work, and we'll all be happy and jolly as the day is l0ng!"
 "Yes," Chuminy said. T believe can work again-now."
 Her eyes rested for moment or Alan Steyne's face. The young man rose to go.
 What about the cafe tonight p Judy asked. I've almost promised to take Chummy there. She hasn't been there since her illness, you know, and the boys are mad to see her again. Chummy"-she looked at the other girl with a touch of anxiety-"do you remem- Der all the boys-Tony Leigh and Michael Stone and Johnny Plar- mel, and all the others?"
 "Yes, remember them, ot course," Chummy replied; "but il seems a very long time ago. Tony Leigh did wonderful caricatures and Michael Stone painted that glorious Venus Quarreling With Adonis' that the Academy turned down and the Paris Salon hung on the 1ine."
 Judy gave a sad little laugh.
 They're all the same in one way Chufnmy-they're failures, every one. of them, according to the world. The only one who did any thing at all was Vincent Stornaway who simply gave up trying and now paints millionaires and theil wives. His women are all satin and diamonds, and, as he says, he manages to make them look just a little bit naughty. He makes ten thousand 8 year, but he hardly ever comes to the cafe.

 Tt will be lovely!" said Chum- my. "I'm simply dying to see them all again."
 "Of course," put in Alan. "Cla- rissa must go and see all her friends. What time shall we meet ?' Judy named the hour. As the young mra left the room, he held out his hand. She had to put hers in it, and she knew from the swift look he gave her that 1t was not because of Chummy that he would be at the Cafe Turc that night.
 Miss Morley. the aunt with whom Chummy had communicated since her recovery, had invited her niece to go across to the Italian Riveria with her. but lChummy had declined. She was quite strong, and, since Alan had come back, she was itching to get to her long-neglected work again. Everybody, Alan included, told her that she coulud paint; and she had the feeling that to get to work would complete the reconstruction of her life.
 Chummy had gone to spend Miss INorley's last day in New York with her at her hotel. and Alan Steyne'

 1T don't understand you," she answered. "Chummy loves you just the same as ever"
 "But I don't love her."
 q hate you when you say that!'' said Judy. How can you help loving such a girl as Chummy? She's not only perfectly lovely but she knows oceans and oceans of things. She belongs to another world than inine."
 "The world you belong to is good enough for me, Judy" said Alan, setting his teeth. You're driving me crazyl"
 "But," she said with transparent simplicity, you must have seen that everybody knows you belong to her. Think of the boys at the cafe! It was just like someone coming home when you came; and only a few of them had really known you.

knowing of it, came to find Judy just before lunch time. She was just about to go to the cafe.
 "Come to lunch witk me, please, " he said. "We'll go somewhere where we can talk"
 This was the second day after the evening at the cafe, where Chum- my had had a reception that might easily have paralyzed a queen used to the adulation of her subjects.
 "Oh!" said Judy, with her pur- pie eyes fixed anxiously on Alan. 1T don't know. What Is 1t you want to talk about?"
 You" he said boldly. He had a very determined look on his face, and she gave in with a sigh.
 You are making it awfully difi- cult" she said. They went to one of the big res taurants, where, as Alan said. they would be lost.
 Judy wanted no food. She played with what Alan ordered, and tapped her little fingers on the table in time to the music of Q noisy orchestra. Her face met his

that many of them do stick to make up rather miserable in later life is also true.
 If you notice your child devei- oping the compulsion habit, insist ing on reading the last letter of every sign, for instance, and fret fully clamoring to go back for af1- other chance if he doesn't do so-- if he must tag his playmate last or feel all upset about it if he fails, or in any of a hundred ways be- coming set in carrying out an un- important impulse, should try to get him out of it. Not by ridiculing him or scolding him, but by show ing him in sensible, friendly fashion that it is not necessary or wise. Later on, then, he will not be a slave to driving habit, Life brings enough big responsibility without the goblins of trailing ob- sessions haunting us.

MOles Are Killed
With Deadly Gases

"Please give information on how
to destroy garden moles." Such Is
the general type Of inquiry coming to
the department Of entomology at the
agricultural college from many points
in North Dakota.
How the moles dig up the ground.
eat roots found in their path of un-
derground travel, and in general do
damage to garden stuff, potatoes,
shrubs and trees. Is mentioned in one
letter from Wilfred Koskela, Devils
Lake.
A method used to exterminate
moles with CyanogAs, either in gar
dens. or fields, Is recommended by
Prof. J. A. Munro, entomologist. This
deadly poisonous gas has been tried
out with success by agricultural COL
lege officials on a five-acre plot
where gophers infested the ground in
large numbers. The five acres looked
like the proverbial deserted village
after the last fumes OF the death
dealing gas had pierced into the
depths Of the underground tunnels.
Rats and all forms Of household pests
as well as moles haye been extermi-
mated with success with this gas.
states Mr.. Munro. Cyanogas with d.
rections how to use should be obtain
able from any leading drug store.

DRY STORED SEEDS
RETAIN VITALITY.
Bromegrass, N. D. A. G. Expert
Says, Almost Only One Which
Is Short-lived

Most seeds II stored dry retain their
vitality well for several years, accord
ing to Prof. O. A. Stevens, seed anal
yst at the pure seed laborary. North
Dakota Agricultural college. Bronze
grass, he states, is almost the only one
of the ordinary field crops which is
short lived. Three years is as long as
it is dependable. A sample Of bronze
grass recently received at the seed
laboratory was said to be six years
old and as expected, 1t was almost en-
tirely dead, Mr.. Stevens found.
ANY seeds which have been broken
or the seed coat scratched. even II It
is only slight, are likely to lose their
vitality in one or two years. This ap-
plies to scarified clover, hulled grass
es. and other cases Of the Sort" says
the seed analyst.
A letter recently received at the
seed laboratory states that . failure
resulted last year in using old timo-
thy seed, and inquiry Is made wheth-
er the seed or the weather was re-
sponsible. Mr.. Stevens suspected that
! the failure was due to dry season.
| but no definite check can be made
unless seed is left at the laboratory
for analysis.
The seed laboratory has been rum
ming annual tests upon several sam
pies Of timothy seeds since 1924. In
some OF the samples most Of the
hulled seed has lost its vitality, but
the unhulled still grows we'll. states

Farmers Interested
In Sweet Grasses

A number of samples Of sweet grass
are coming to the agricultural col
lege for Identification, according to
Prof. o. A. Stevens, seed analyst. This
Is . native grass which is found all
over the state, he points out, and It
usually Is found growing in depres-
sions where the soil is little more
moist than ordinary. It does not ap-
pear to cause much trouble as weed,
though it spreads by rootstocks in the
same manner as QuackgrasS and will
need to be handled by similar meth
DDS II It should prove troublesome.
Sweet grass attracts the attention
at this season of the year as the flow
ering heads begin to appear about
May I, states Mr.. Stevens. The heads
reach q height Of one to one and one
half feet. They are about two inches
long and are branched much like
Kentucky bluegrass. When they first
appear, they are light green in color,
but turn brown upon maturity. The
entire plant has q fragrant odor, es-
pecially when dried, and this is the
origin Of its name. It was used quite
extensively by the Indians for bind
ing material In the manufacture Of
baskets or other articles.

Warns Against Neglect
Of Chickens in Spring

start treating for mites right now
by spraying or painting the roosting
compartment with mixture Of used
crankcase oil and kerosene. Do this
every 10 days or two weeks from now
until fall and mites will not bother.
In case of lice, use Black Leaf 40, blue
ointment, or sodium fluoride."

Renville Farmer Has
Success With Trees

Knute Steen. who farms near
Glenburn in Renville county, has
demonstrated conclusively that trees
will flourish under North Dakota con-
ditions II given proper care, accord
ing to r. Gilbertson, editor Of the
Glenburn Advance.
"Mr. Stems grove was set out In
1927 and 1923 from seedlings and now
he has good-sized trees which have
made very satisfactory growth con-
sidering that 1929 and 1880 were any
thing but favorable for the growth Of
trees" Mr.. Gilbertson says.
Mr.. Steen believes in the cultiva-
ton of trees to make them do their
best. He plants them in rows spaced
far enough apart to permit Of culti-
vation with horses, and he keeps the
weeds and grass down at all times.
He does not cultivate between the
