cine like a little man today, or like a
prison full of rioting convicks?
1t ended in compromise, I'll tell you

Everyday Psychology
Going to Sleep.
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

Gong to Sleep.
Now and then you find yourself un-
able to go to sleep There's always. of
course, some physical or mental reason
for insomnia.
Popular notions have it that you
may invite sleep by counting sheep.
There may be some sense to this
method But I have yet to meet the
man who will honestly say that the
sheep method" works.
There is another popular theory that
you may talk yourself to sleep. Say
to yourself, L am going to sleep in
my toes; talk that up a while and
decide that your toes are asleep. You
then proceed until yoL get to the head,
and finally go to sleep. Go to sleep?
Well. perhaps! I can't say much, if
anything, for this self-hypnosis scheme.
Next time you have an attack of in
somnia, get out of bed and go to work
at something. Reading. if nothing
else, You will, I believe, have better
results. Ordinarily you will get the
urge to sleep in about an hour. The
reason for all this is CUTIE natural,
Sleep is habit, the habit Of passing
from activity to inactivity. 1t fol
lows as the night the day" In order
to set the stage for inactivity sleep,
enter through the door of activity
(mental or physical occupation.
If the sheep method" or the self
hypnosis method doesn't work, try the
usual work" method.

If that happened? He might not have

guess it was a mistake. This limb
has been dead as long as 1 can remem-
Der, so it cannot be as strong as 1t
should be for a storm like this. Oh!
OH"
Another limb of that same tree had
just broken off. 1t made a frightful
sound to Hairy and the whole tree
shook worse than before. 1t would
have been bad enough to be forced to
leave that shelter in daylight, but to
do it in the darkness of night was not
even to be thought Of. No. sir, it wasn't
to be thought Of He would be helpless
in such a storm, in the dark. There
was nothing to do but to wait where
he was Tor daylight.
Such a night! Never had he passed
one like it. Never, he hoped, would he
have to pass another like it. One thing
he had to be thankful for and that
IVES that he was warm. 1t was bitter
cold outside, but in there he was pro-
tected, and the day before he had
taken the precaution to stuff himself
with heat-making food. So he was
warm and protected, which was a lot
to be thankful for But he didn't think
of that No. sir, he didn't think of
that. He was too frightened to think
of anything but what might happen
At last wee bit of gray light crept
In at the doorway. Hairy crept up
where he could look cut He could see
nothing but snow. 1t grew lighter.
The tree creaked and groaned more
than ever. Once Hairy started to poke

hurry for that whirling. driving, icy
snow blinded him. What morning!
What a morning!
There came lull in the storm. For
| the space of a few minutes rough
Brother North Wind was almost quiet.
1t was as if he were holding his
breath. Then with shrek and roar
he blew mighty blast Hairy heard
the beginning of a cracking sound that
seemed almost under his feet. Head
long he plunged out into the storm.
Even as he did SO that limb snapped
crash. Hairy had left it just in time,
just in the very nick of time.
Rough Brother North Wind seized
him and Whirled him away in the
snow. Vainly he beat his wings with
all his strength. He could do nothing
but 60 with rough Brother North Wind.
He was dashed in amongst the tossing
branches of hemlock tree that stood
in a little open space SO that its
branches reached nearly to the ground.
One of these he clutched and clung to-
Little by little he worked his way
along it to the trunk. This was big.
He crept to the south side and there
found shelter. Rough Brother North
Wind no longer had him at his mercy.
Hairy clung close to the sheltering
trunk and gasped for breath. He
gasped and gasped until at length he
| could breathe easily. Never in his life
had he felt so helpless.
The great trunk and spreading
branches sheltered him and, flattened
| upright against that trunk, he was
secure and not uncomfortable. He
could stay there all day if necessary.
Things had happened so suddenly that
even yet he did not know just what
hao happened. He had left his home
just in time but he didn't know this.
He didn't know that that limb was

Of the crop and distribution. Virginia
and North Carolina produce more than
half of our present peanut supply.
Florida, Texas. Mississippi, Tennessee,
Georgia and Alabama are giving the
popular nut more and more attention.
There are several varieties. the best
known being the fiat or running, or
Virginia fat and running, the bunch,
Spanish" and North Carolina, also
known as the African"
The nuts form the seeds for planting.
About two bushels are sOWn to the
acre. The crop is put in the latter
part of May or the first of June. and
the green plants show above the earth
IN few weeks. The pods ripen in Sep
tember or October. and sometimes the
harvest lasts into November.
The American trade is partial to a
bright -colored shell. The pod assumes
the color Of the ground in which it
grows. The soil must be light, sandy
loan, and If it lacks this quality, lime
must be added. The white peanut has
a more abundant root system. and when
harvesting the crop, plow must be run
along the sides of the row in order to
dislocate the roots. The red peanut has
a very slight root system. and where the
soil is light, the plants are pulled up by
hand
The plants, left on the ground to dry
after they haze been shaken free Of dirt
usually lie there for four weeks. Then
the stacks are wilted and the nuts re-
moved by hand or machinery. depend
ing upon the size of the crop. The nuts
are sacked into 100-pound lots and sent
to the factory. Here they are cleaned
and sorted for the trade. great fans
blowing away any dirt clinging to the
shells. They are sorted into various
groups and roasted, later distributed TO
the various departments.
There Is valuable by-product that
means much to the trade. The little
germs or hearts sifted out of the peanuts
in the manufacture of peanut butter or
meal makes an excellent poultry food
The roasted hulls are ground into meal
for stock, the red skins are rich in pro-
tein and fats. and even the wilted vines
are valuable to be plowed under In the
field for the next crop.

in America. to which this coat of arms
belongs, were settled in County North
ampton, England. the line beginning
there with Roger sSturges, whose will
was dated 1880. Through him was
descended Philip Sturges or Sturgis,
whose son Edward was the first Amer
ican immigrant of the family.
Edward Sturgis settled first in
Charlestown, Mass, where he lived from
1884 to 1896. Later he located in Var
mouth, where he at once Sfcame an
active townsynan. He served as con-
stable Of the town from 1640 to 1862,
and was deputy to the General Court in
1872. He died in Sandwich, Mass, in
1895. but was buried in Yarmouth.
Edward Sturgls, jr, son of Edward
and Elizabeth Sturgis, was born in Eng
land in 1924, came to America with
his parents and grew to manhood in
Yarmouth. His estate was valued at
5000. large one in those days. He
married Temperance Gorham, the
daughter Of Capt. John and Desire
tHowland) Gorham, both Mayflower
passengers, in 1920
There are today many descendants
Of Edward living in various sections of

- at very small cost However, we
know that we can't, unless We
are alert to the new line Of 1884,
which divides clothes into def
mite types for definite purposes. Further
more, we must realize that materials
have grown in dignity to the point
where they call for classification.
For instance take our frock of today
It is made of soft-surfaced wool so
supple and light that its wearer is
scarcely conscious of its weight.
In making il you may use one of the
new unrecogniZable mohairs, djalap
Jersey or ribbed knit. Kindred types OF
cotton also may be used.
This design has many good points
Among them, its collar is removable
one, which, perhaps, accounts for its
success with clients in the more ex-
elusive dress shops
Its skirt is slim and straight its
waist nipped-in. and the sleeves at the
elbow bag with that casual ease required
for comfort in run-about frock. The
model should prove lucky number
with the student, the business woman
or the woman at home
With this dress may be worn either
a fur neckpiece. one of the straight
three-quarter coats made of tweed OF
the Cumberland type.
The newest colors include brown. deep
green. oxford gray or grayed green If
you like combinations, deep brown is
being used with mahogany, coffee color
with carmel, pale blue with middle blue.
Black costumes are popular, especially
when combined with faint beige, just
off white.
