And it will cost more because of the long distances to be traveled to take men and mcteriels there. That’s why we must buy bonds, more than ever. Take double what you planned. O—O Russia seems to be getting all set to go to war with Japan if it becomes necessary. If the Nips should suddenly decide on unconditional surrender, we wonder what would rhappen in Manchuria. The coast isn't clear of war clouds by any means and probably won’t be for eereral years. O—O Clothing and shoes will not be much, if any, more plentiful on the market the next several months according to J. A. Krug, production chief. He says more textiles and leather are needed for the Pacific war th'an we have been using, so we Will have to keep on repairing the old and using as little new as possible.

They finally had to get a heavy hammer to crack the bottle but every one enjoyed it and the crew said the Incident meant good luck. O—O Indiana State Teacher's College at Terra Haute is making preparations for a grand diamond jubilee June 14th to 17th, in observation of the 75th anniversary of the founding of that famous school. Classes started in January. 1870. with an enrollment of thirteen women aud eight men. Now the attendance averages about 1.700 per term. The program includes a number of interesting events wi'h educators of prominence taking part. The four days celebration will conclude Sunday, the 17tb with graduation exercises for the class of '45. O—o Work And Save: Larry Gerson has been a frequent visitor to tropical and semitropical countries where he observed the natives. Those outside the cities are usually healthy people with little to bother them in the way of complicated living. He saw one family with ten children, all smiling and pleasant, and apparently enjoying a completely happy life. These people have no telephones, automobiles, or air-conditioners, but such things may come to them wheu the war is over and the good things of life are universally distributed. The rub is that they will have to work for them, just as we do. Furthermore, those of us in the North will have to work for what we get, as we have done in the past. High incomes won't give us anything unless an ample supply of goods is produced for which money can be exchanged. As Gerson says, if we have a lot of money and produce little, then money will be cheap and it will take a lot to buy the things we produce. That is inflation. The mans of Americans cannot expect to enjoy the many luxuries of modern living without going through the hardships of producing. For those who want a nice simple life with very little to do. he suggests a tropical country where you have only to work hard enough to acquire a shirt and a pair of pants, and enough to eat.—The Imperial Magazine. O—O Two Semesters: Indiana University has announced an academic schedule which combines a return to the pre-war standard of two semesters and retention of all-year courses for the j benefit of returning veterans. The postwar planning committee of the university has been working on this program for several months and it has received tormal approval of] faculty and trustees. This step .conforms to the general trend in inter-collegiate circles. Several of the country’s leading universities already have voted to renew the former schedule. Others which delayed this type of reconversion until the end of the war in Europe are expected to make early announcements of similar decisions. The streamlined schedule was essential during the early part of the war, but the accelerated pace did not promote the best interests of higher education. More to the point as a practical administrative problem has been student opposition to the speed-up program. Universities might be open for business, but without enough civilian summer students to pay the light bill. i.Thf I. U. schools of medicine and dentistry will continue the threesemester plan to .satisfy military requirements. The university also will endeavor to meet reasonable wishes of veteran groups seeking special courses. This pattern prob-

Insect enemies which attack the Victory garden have different weapons, and cannot all be fought with the same methods. - It is necessary, therefore, to identify what lethal means to use against them. The chart which accompanies this article shows the general characteristics of these enemies and brief descriptions, with suggestions for combating them, follow: There are red, black and green aphids, but those on vegetables are usually pale green. They cling to the under-side of leaves, or pn.the growing ends of stems of many vegetables, multiplying with amazing rapidity.

the leaves with small holes. Use rotenone or nicotine dust or spray. The potato bug or Colorado beetle, which may also attack eggplant and tomatoes, is red with black stripes, half inch long. Spray or dust with rotenone or arsenic. Potato leafhoppers are pale green, one-eighth inch long. Also found on beans, swarming on your approach to the plants, on which they cause leaf-curl. Nicotine or rotenone dust or spray will control. Cutworms are caterpillars of various moths which hide by day and at night cut off young plants at the soil surface. Protect the plants with collars of heavy paper or cardboard surrounding the stems, extending an inch below the soil surface and two inches above, when the plants are set out. Squash bugs are reddish brown to black, three-quarter inch long. They lay egg clusters on underside of leaves, and can be controlled by pyrethrum or rotenone spray or dust The Mexican bean beetle is a black sheep of the lady bug family. Coppery brown, 8 black spots on each wing cover; it eats vines and lays yellow egg clusters on under side of leaves, which hatch out into larvae tfith voracious appetites. Plants must be thoroughly sprayed or dusted with rotenone or calcium arsenate but not lead arsenate. Tomato worms are green caterpillars with conspicuous yellow markings, three to four inches long. The worm eats tomato leaves but is easily picked off, or killed by a rotenone or arsenic spray or dust. The corn ear worm is a caterpillar two inches long, striped and marked green and brown, hatched from eggs laid on the young silk. Inject one-quarter teaspoonful of medical mineral oil in the silk channel of each ear soon after polination. Cabbage worms are pale green caterpillars one and one-quarter inch' long, hatched from eggs laid by white butterflies, which are found on cabbage, cauliflower and other members of the cabbage family. Dust with rotenone or calcium arsenate. Grasshoppers may attack all gar- ; den crops and are best controlled 1 by using the poison bait.

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO | PHILIP ARRIVED promptly at 11. He was wearing a new tweed suit, gray with a herringbone stripe. He looked wonderful, Helen thought. Clean, strong, and definitely, as Aggie had put it, “the answer to any maiden’s prayer.” And as she got into the car beside him she wished with all her heart that she could be absolutely and forever certain that she loved him and him alone. “Fetching looking outfit you’ve got on!” said Philip, eyeing her green suit and matching sweater. "Just what I was thinking about you,” Helen said. “Men like you were made for tweeds." "Thank you, ma’am. Girls like you were made for green sports things. You go mighty well with the spring scenery.” "Thank you, sir.” “We do seem to admire each other, don’t we?” Philip grinned. “It would seem that way." “Anywhere in particular you want to go before we drive up in splendor before the Wentworth iomicile?” "Let’s drive out that old dirt road that winds in and out among the pines. Do you mind?” “I’d be tickled pink.” Philip drove out from town and turned toward the low-lying hills. Between the hills and the highway lay a deep forest of long-leaf pines —tall, cool and fragrant “I hope,” said Helen, when they were entering the forest, “they are never cut down.” “So do I,” said Philip. "Darned good thing Miss Minerva uses oak in the factory, otherwise there’dnot be a pine tree left within a radius of 30 miles. She’s practically stripped the country of scrub oaks.” “And a good thing, too,” said Helen. “Scrub oaks are unsightly—and of no earthly good when growing. No shade and no fragrance.” They moved on and on, the auto wheels making a sort of hissing sound as they turned in the deep white sands. Long shafts of sunlight slanted down among the pines, touching patches of pine needles, highlighting dogwood trees that were full of blooms, and making the distant stretches of the forest appear full of shadows that were nearly black. A woodthrush winged by them and sent out a series of throaty soft notes from the branches of a small holly bush. “It’s a little like a huge cathedral, isn’t it?” Helen said. “Yes,” Philip replied. “Or Grand Central Station in New York. Ever notice how the sunlight comes through the high windows?" Helen nodded. “But I’d rather compare the forest to a cathedral,” she said. “St. John’s the Divine, in New York City, for example. I ;wandered around in there one day, and the shafts of light almost took my breath. Some were lavender in color, others green, some blue—slanting down from the huge circular stained glass window above

i the great doors. The high, fluted columns were standing there, like these trees, supporting the vaulted ceiling.” Philip slowed the car down to a mere crawl. He looked up through the pines. “You’d almost think they were supporting the vaulted blue sky, wouldn’t you?” he said. “It does look that way,” said Helen, “when you glance up—trees and sky meeting.” Philip said, gazing off into the quiet depths: “There’s no medicine like the medicine of trees, walking among them, or driving. They quiet the nerves —make one forget troubles for a little while, at least” "And,” said Helen, “make me feel that there is a guiding, understanding and beauty-loving Something far tugger than any human that lives, and breathes, and has his being.” “You appreciate trees more, too,” Philip said, “when you’re away from them. I mean, like living in a city." “Did you ever live In a city?” Helen asked. “Yes—Chicago.” “What were you doing there?” said Helen, realizing again how little she knew of what Philip’s life had been before she knew him. “Worked in a lunchroom while I was taking my engineering course,” he replied. “I wrote a poem, too—about trees.” “No!” "Yes. Didn’t you know that every man living thinks at one time or another he’s a poet?” "Were you trying to compete with Joyce Kilmer’s poem?” Philip shook his head: “I was inspired—if you could call it that — when I saw an old man in a park,” he said. "He was standing very close to an ancient elm, looking up into its branches with a homesick expression on his face.” “May I read the poem some time ?” “I’ll recite it for you,” said Philip. “Only don’t laugh.” “Os course I shan’t laugh.” Philip leaned over, kissed her upon the cheek and then began reciting: “When he was a little lad down in the country lanes, He took all trees for granted, like sunshine and the rains; But now that he’s grown older, and strolls about the park, Those trees come back in memory at the feel of friendly bark. "He recalls that in the springtime they were feathery with green, And that on summer noondays they stood quivery with sheen; That they flaunted splendid colors with the coming of the fall, And that snowflakes in the winter with ermine trimmed them all. i "Now that his years are many, and there aren’t so many trees, He lingers in their shadows, as

"Oka one of these days I’ll write a poe to you, darling,” he said. “Only T afraid there are no words in U English language that will do yo justice.” “You are a poet at heart,” Helt said, “when you can talk like that “And now, getting back to mu dane matters,” said Philip, “wb time are we due at the Wcntwor plantation?” “Zoe said to be there in time f a 1 o’clock dinner,” Helen repliedPhilip looked at his watch.
