IN THE KITCHEN: The Knife--I don't like the Sharpener; he is such a grind. The Spoon--Look out. He is edging up to you now. An author burns the midnight oil in a fruitless attempt to enlighten the world. Common sense is the base of all laws, but the foundation is often out of sight. ECZEMA! Hunt's Salve, formerly called Hunt's Cure is especially compounded for the treatment of Excema, Itch, Ring Worm, Tetter, and other itching skin diseases. A.B. Rhicards Medicine Co., Sherman, Texas. SUCCESSION OF VEGETABLES Plant a succession of lettuce, radishes, beets, beans, sweet corn, peas, etc. A planting about every two weeks is just right. DEATH-DEALING FENCES Wire fences that are not grounded cause the death of many animals during thunderstorms. SOY BEAN IN FRONT Soy beans take first place among the annual midsummer forage crops used as emergency hay. GENERAL FARM NOTES Clover seed may be grown on almost any kind of soil. Pasturing high-priced land is profitable if handled right. The high cost of sugar makes honey a very valuable crop. Flax would make a good crop to plant on unused acreage. If it is necessary to supplement the pasture, Sudan grass is satisfactory. Clean seed will not always grow, hence it is necessary to have seed tested for germination. A farmer, who has faith in his calling, even when many problems perplex, is the one who is most likely to succeed. Soil that does not produce a good crop of clover after the land has been well manured with stable manure should be tested for acidity. Clover should follow a cultivated crop such as corn, roots or potatoes, or it should be sown on land which has been thoroughly prepared after harvesting the previous crop. FORD The Universal Car.

SHIFTING STATUE OF LIBERTY Old-timer's Simple Explanation of Mater That Had Greatly Puzzled the Rookie Gob. The destroyer Sharkey, which arrived in new York harbor some days ago, dropped anchor near the Statue of Liberty on the starboard side, but during the night the tide shifted it about to the port side. This transformation was most perplexing to a rookie Gov., who finally confided his problem to a C.P.O. "Well, you see, it's like this," the old-timer informed him. "New York and Brooklyn both claim the statue, so to stop the argument the government lets New York have it one day and then moves it over to the Brooklyn side the next."--- American Legion Weekly.
