The fun of silt walking may be in

With steps of this kind, the uprights

along their length. A clear piece Of

sufficiently strong to carry any boy Of

The wood step is made by saving a

l4-inch wagon bolts, sufficiently long
to pass through the step and through

The stocks Of pork in cold storage
at the present time are the lowest in

would keep you out of heaven.
Don't stay away because you do
not need the church; it isn't so. If
you must look at the dirt six days,
take one to examine the clouds.
Don't stay away because the
church does not need you; never
did the church need more and bet
ter men.
Don't stay away because you know
more than the preacher; God has
something to say to you worth hear

Don't stay away because it's hard

Don't stay away because there are
plenty there; there are a thousand
million non-church goers in the
world; you are responsible for one.
Don't stay away because of the
children; the boy and girl who eat

Don't stay away for any reason
except one you can conscientiously
give your maker.
And bring the babies yith you, our

best forms of exercise as well as
supplying variety OF fresh vege-
tables often lacking in the fanny
diet. Vegetables can always be
raised cheaper than they can be
purchased il the ground is suitable
and standard cultural practices are
followed.
Gardens should be plowed the
first day the ground is dry enough
to crumble and break up readily.
However, blowing should be pre-
ceded by general cleaning up Of
the plot. Removal and burning of
all woods and trash will often great
ly reduce insect pests and diseases
as well as permit the ground to be
worked into a finer mulch. Early
blowing insures a firm, compact
seed bed that will provide a strong
base for the root systems of the
plants and conserve the moisture in
the soil.
Helps Weed Control
Weed control is greatly aided by
early blowing or early working OF
the ground if the garden has been
fall-plowed. AS the young woods
sprout, they can be destroyed by
two or three surface CIVILIZATIONS
with a rake or cultivator, leaving
the soil practically free of woods st
the time of planting. BY turning
over the surface several times, most
of the dormant wood seeds are
sprouted and destroyed if the plow-
ing has been done well in advance
of planting time.
Preparation of the seed bed is one
of the most important factors III
successful gardening. The soil
should be thoroughly pulverized to
provide the compactness favorable
to seed termination and root
growth. This is especially import
ant in the planting of the shallow
rooted crops.
Early blowing, cultivation for
weed control and a fine, compact
seed bed will provide ideal condi-
lions for the planting of the early
vegetables.

New Appropriation Is Largest
Sum In History Ever Handled
By One Man

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4 (Auto-
caster)-The biggest chunk Of
money ever appropriated in one
lump, in time of peace, by this or
any other nation, is the $4,000, 000,-
600 which congress is handing to
President Roosevelt to spend as he
sees fit for public works to relieve

history has ever had control of any
such amount of money. None has
ever had the power in his own
hands which control of this huge
sum gives to the president Of the
United States.
There have been larger amounts
appropriated by congress, both In
war and, in the past two years, in
peace, but they have been hedged
about with restrictions and the
specific purposes for which they
were to be spent have been clearly
