festival is to the West what the! annual Mardi Gras is to the South.! Local hotels report that many toservations already have been made for the five days of the celebration. Large sections of the grandstands also have been reserv- '■ ed, •chiefly by easterners.

O ; Artichokes Long Popular John Randolph, Jr., writing what has been called the "earliest American book on kitchen gardening," In Virginia about 170.’, (Uscussed the cultivation of artichokes ns If they were ns common ns cabbages. It is noticed that Thoma* Jefferson mentioned them among the vegetables common in the Washington city markets when he was President. o Ancient Sea Warrior* The word "viking” is not n racial term. It Ims a twofold meaning, being both locational and martial. Tile old Norse spelling of this word was "viklngr,” which literally meant "inlet man," the basic word "vik" meaning “Inlet of the sea." “Vik Ingr" was also the Norse synonym of the Anglo-Saxon word "wiring," which was composed of “wl” (war) and "cing” (king) by which was meant a sett warrior. O The Pastor Sa-s: Many heat the call to preach, but few hear tlie call to prepare. . . .

England. This i Was Ids story, and he stuck to It. | and tlie doctor who treated his I burns eventually verified it. The' | cough drops, it seems, contained po I tassinm chlorate. Carried loose in | the pockotfthey had come into tonj tact with the phosphorus match box, whereupon nature took its course. o Ultima Thule Thule is the name given by Pythons of Marseilles to a region or an is'lm d north of Groat Britain. the position of which lias for I 2,000 years been a matter of con | troversy. The Romans frequently I added the word Ultima to tlie des Ignatlon manning Farthest Thule.
