PRAISING THE LUSCIOUS PIE Writer With a Subject Worthy of Hie Pen Dilates In a Rhapsody Worth Roedlne. Let us celebrate*the poem of the ago-the pie. Itffr >ces each season, but moat especially Is It dedicated unto midsummer ami the time of berries, black, red and blue. The pie is both friend and foe, comforter and avenger. It is the mightiest. It can mercilessly ■Blay, and it can soothe and assuage the drooping spirit. It is a poem both lyric and elegiac-singing the sheer pleasures of the senses and agalnjperadventure. the pains thereof Deadly is the pie when overeaten, but gracious, yea, end beneficent, when partaken of in due measure and n reverential awe of the lawful gastric processes. “My blessings on the head of him who first invented sleep," sighed Sancho Panza on a memorable occasion. Be oura on the head of him who first invented pie. May he dwell forever on blessed isles of pie among the cherry orchards of Elysium. May his jowls delight in mincemeat, pumpkins, the juicy squash, the tooth-staining blueberry, the pippin apple and oodles of lemon custard. "Something felicitous and fruity between two crusts" —that is pie. Long may it wave! Begin at one corner of the crust and eat judiciously along the outer crust In order that something felicitous and fruity may remain, like wino, the best at the last. . Ixjt us heartily rejoice that it Is our good hap to dwell within the great Now England pie belt, and not a thousand miles from certain justly celebrated pie foundries. Give us liberty, or give us death. But, failing that, give us pie.—Boston Globe. SPLINTERS OF THE FAR PAST Declared by Scientists Who Ought to Know to Be Many Millions of Years Old. The discovery of splinters millions of years old has been made by a professor of paleontology at the University of California. The splinters are neither decayed nor petrified, but retained the grain and distinct markings of the California redwood, and it is even possible to whittle shavings from the larger splinters. The discovery of these splinters was made at Mussel Rock, California, a bank of rock about twenty miles out of San Francisco. This stratum of rock offers an excellent opportunity for the study of rock formations, and it was while on a trip of this kind that the splinters were found embedded In the sandy base of the rock. Furthermore, these splinters were contained in a stratum w hich had sunk under the sea and had been afterward raised and turned over in a different position so that the redwood trees were in a horizontal position instead of vertical. —World’s Advance. Importance of the Corn Crop. Corn is king of all the crops. More than 20 per cent of all the improved farm land In the United States is annually devoted to the growing of com. In 1914 105,000,000 acres were planted to corn in this country, producing 2,700,000,000 bushels, which brought the growers $1,900,000,000. For nearly fifty years the land planted to corn has been equal if not greater than the acreage of all other cereal crops combined. Corn from a standpoint of acreage yield and value exceeds every other crop. Wherever corn is grown, there you find high-priced land and prosperous people. No other crop can replace corn, but corn can readily take the place of any other grain crop. , Com is put to a greater number of uses than any other crop that grows. There are greater possibilities for improvement, yield and quality of com than any other crop.—From a Lecture by P. G. Holden. Motoring in Spain. Motorists in Spain describe the road between Irun and San Sebastian as very beautiful, and the latter even in the rain, looks most attractive to those speeding through. The way runs along the Oria river, a turbulent stream, through Tolosa to the village of Beasain, where the traveler leaves the Oria. By a curious optical illusion, although running steadily uphill all the while, meeting the rushing torrent, the road appears to be a down-hill one. So it is on the reverse though from the running of the car one is obviously going down quite a considerable gradient the road looks level. A Swift Uppercut. “I see you have your arm in a sling,” said the inquisitive passenger. Broken, isn’t it?” “Yes, sir,” responded the other passenger. “Meet with an accident?” “No; broke it while trying to pat myself on the back.” ‘ Great Scott! What for?” For minding my own business’’— Ram’s Hern. Almost Realized. ' Did . you ever dream of being a pirate when you were a boy?” “Oh, yes. Isn’t it queer?
