The Unconscious
Power in a BOy

While Ghandi was in Africa, one
evening as large company of men
and boys were driven like cattle from
the mines at the end of days work,
charged with failure to pay taxes, a
little lad got out of line long enough
to pluck beautiful flower that was
growing by the roadside.
Ghandi and a policeman reached
the boy at the same time. Even at
such moment the power Of the In
dams personality, which was later to
reconcile blood enemies and hold a
nation in thrall, turned aside the
white mans whip. Ghandi looked up
into the policeman's face and then
gathered the small brown outcast into

Baseball

Believe it or not, there are indica-
tions that baseball is losing out as
the popular American game. There
is very certain fact that the people
are turning to some other sort of
sport with a preference.
Football, they say, is drawing big
ger crowds than baseball.
And basket ball, the country over,
has 100 attendants to one that at
tends baseball games.
Perhaps the answer can be found
in the participation idea.
While that would not explain a
preference for football, it does the
basket ball trend.
More people can play basket ball
There are more teams and more
games and they can be played in
doors, and the excitement runs very
much higher.
Participation is the answer in golf
No golfer cares to see another fell
low, no matter how good he is, play
the game He wants to play it him.
self.
That is decidedly American.
People seek sports in which they
themselves, can participate.
But, it's safe to say that baseball
will not die out. It's a wonderful
game. And there are thousands OF
folks who are fans, and will continue
to be.-Leesburg Citizen.

size for an all around garden to give
a reasonable supply is 25 by 20 feet
and from this size up, but mucht can
be done with even smaller space.
There is only one absolute neces-
sity in selecting the garden location
and that is sunlight for at least a
portion of the day; the longer the
garden may have sun the better
However, good gardens are often
seen in city back yards which get
only a few hours Of sun daily. II
the garden can have sun from nine
in the morning until three in the
afternoon, any of the common vege-
tables can be grown successfully.
Many of the standard vegetables can
be grown with even less sun than
this. This has been proved by ac-
tual experimental test. 1t is not an
experiment Of dubious result to try
to grow vegetables on a partially
shaded site.
Ideal soil isn't often found. Take
the soil as you find it and proceed to
build it up. This is no great task.
The one feature to avoid is low
lying position that is always soggy
an din which water is bound to
stand after rains. This is one fea-
ture that bars a site for successful
vegetables until drainage has been
supplied.

New Development

New to the automobile industry on
the 1888 cars is the mechanism which
makes possible starting the motor and
accelerating it with only one pedal OPP
Grafton. This device is known as the
"Starterator' 'on the 1888 Chevrolet,
the first car in the industry to, intro.
duce it. gaa,... =
The new development has a particu-
lar appeal for the feminine driver be-
cause it eliminates one more manual
control to bother with; and it adds
measurably to the safe operation Of
the car because if the engine should
stall in traffic it may be restarted
simply by depressing the accellerator
without removing the foot from the
pedal, the hands from the steering
wheel or the eyes from the road ahead.
The Starterator linkage is so de-
signed that when you press down on
the pedal, the starting motor circuit
is closed. The instant the engine fires,
vacuum is produced in the intake
manifold. This vacuum operated a
diaphragm which disconnects the
starter mechanism, and thereafter the
pedal operates as an accelerator only.
The device is one more step toward
the goal of creating as nearly an auto
matte car as possible, Chevrolet en-
gineers point out.

New Battery For
Raising Chickens

Modern poultry keeping seems des-
lined to become revolutionized by bat
teries for chickens Of all ages and pur-
poses. The latest development III this
connection is the new triple purpose
group battery, destined by the Ohio
Agricultural Experiment Station at
Wooster, which serves for finishing
market broilers, for growing pullets,
and for housing layers and breeders.
This battery is intended to serve
groups of ID to 80 birds to each COM
partment, depending upon their size
and age. In case Of layers this type
of battery would not serve for poul-
trymen primarily concerned with Sc
curing individual egg records. How
ever since the triple purpose group
Battery is designed to serve three diff
ferent and important purposes it Is
anticipated that it will serve useful
purpose for all poultry keepers.
Back in 1924 D. c. Kennard, in
charge of poultry Investigations at the
Ohio, Staten, began tests with wire
cages for layers and continued them
until 1881, when manufactured cages
became available. This permitted try
ing cut the practical and commercial
possibilities of this new method of
managing the layers. The more ex-
tensive tests with various types of bat
teries during the past two years indi-
cate promising possibilities for prac-
tical use of batteries for finishing mar
ket broilers, for growth of pullets,
and for housing layers. However, it
must be emphasized that the battery
method is yet in its pioneering and
experimental stage Of development.
The new triple purpose group bat
terry is simple and economical of con-
struction and can be built by poultry
men who are handy with tools and me-
chanicaliy inclined. These batteries
have belt cleaning device, conven-
lent drinking equipment, and special
nests when employed for layers. Plans
fer construction and information rela-
tive to housing and management of
the batteries can be obtained from the
Ohio Experiment Station at Wooster.

A Good steward

A young man who had recently be-
come Christian found himself with
out an income, his factory being
closed down suddenly. At just that
time, the visitors of the every MEM
Der canvass called and he agreed at
once to make a pledge. His wife
tried to dissuade him reminding him
that he had no job and nothing saved.
He insisted that he would trust in the
Lord. 49,.
"Then make small pledge. said
his wife
"No, l want better job than |
ever had, SO am going to pledge on
the basis of good job"
Finally his wife consented. and he
pledged $3.50, tenth of the salary
he hoped to receive. The next day
from an entirely unexpected direction
a job turned his way which paid him
$1,000 a year.

Then he looked up again at the dazed

his eyes as he said, "You are my

thing for which you stand" From
that moment, Ghandi became one of
the worlds greatest reformers.
