TIPS 10
CHOOSE BEANS WISELY

THE gardener should be we'll &C.
= quainted with the many avail
able varieties of stringless beans,
if he is to get the most from his
bean crop.
If earliness is the principal in
terest, the gardener should select
either Bountiful (green-podded) or
Golden Wax (yellow). Bountiful
is excellent for use when small,
in shoe-string size. 1t is also a
good choice for home canning, for
it produces abundantly.
The gardener interested in yield
over a long season should select
both bush bean, and a pole bean.
The pole beans begin producing
when the yield from the bush
beans tapers off.
Kentucky Wonder is one of the
best al-purpose pole beans. It
provides good quality snap beans.
When past the snap stage, the pods
may be cut up, and cooked
southern style. Later, this bean
may be used in the green shell
stage. In the more mature stage
the beans may be used in baking
or in soup.

At Least Stern Parent
Had Sons Rapt attention

Father had decided that he must
administer a strict lecture to his
six-year-old son. The boy had been
naughty, but did not seem to ap-
preciate the fact, and it was with
some reluctance that the parent
undertook a scolding.
He spoke judiciously but severe
ly; he recounted the lads mis-
deeds, and explained the why's and
wherefores of his solemn rebuke.
His wife sat by, duly impressed.
Finally, when the father paused
for breath, and, incidentally to
hear the culprit's acknowledgment
of error, the lad, his face BEAM
ing with admiration, turned to his
mother and said: Mother isn't IA

Into the World

Seldom have classes of students

SC short a step. This generation of
students has been in the world
all the time.
There is a certain tendency
among men of the present mature
generation to apologize because the
world in which today's students
find themselves is less than a per-
feet world. In many ways it is n
maleYolent, a savage world Some
students seem to resent this. Some
older men seem apologize about it.
Yet every generation must make
its own world. The classes which
were being graduated 20 years ago
had not mad their school days in
world which was exactly all beer
and skittleS.
They made a brave effort to do
something about it. Perhaps it is
too broad to say that they largely
failed. Certainly they did not make
a permanent success. They tried,
which is all a person, or a genera
tlon, can do.
There was young man in that
