Kindly Say, Please!

One of the best stories of Gen. •Smlth-Dorrlen, who is to take the Glbral tar command, is that which he used to tell against himself of an Incident •during the South African war. An orderly arrived at his quarters one day with important dispatches, which he delivered with a verbal message—this in language that was rather unconventional, judged by his rank. Smlth-Dor-rlen read the dispatches and dismissed the man with a reply that he would be ready to move In two hours. “And,” lie added, “say ‘please* the next time you speak to' me.” The orderly delivered Smlth-Dorrien's reply to Kitchener. “What did he say?” he v.'as asked. ■“He said he would be ready to move In -two hours,” the soldier answered, ■“and you would kindly say ‘please’ the next time you speak to him.”

HOME TOWN HELPS

PRACTICAL CLEAN-liP DAY

How the People of an lowa Town Improved the Roads Leading Into the Place. In Farm and Fireside a writer says: “When the town of Mitchellville, la., with a population of 900, decided on a general clean-up; a woman arose in ; meeting and promised the help of the. women in every way possible. She suggested that perhaps about all they could do would be to cook a picnic dinner. „ Whereupon one man arose and gave it as his opinion that inasmuch as lowa was in a fair way to have equal suffrage shortly and the Mitchellville women had been insistent upon It, he, for one, thought the women ought to work alongside the men on clean-up day. And work they did! “While other towns were content, on such occasions, to remove the un-. sightly ash heaps that disfigured back yards and otherwise make more presentable the general municipal appearance, the Mitchellville workers decided there was no reason why every able-bodied man and woman should not put in ten good, solid hours’ work on the roads leading into the town. “Roads, they argued, were a country town’s principal asset, as without them the country trade, which kept the town prosperous, was not forthcoming. What if there were an ash heap left at night, would it not be better to have a few miles of good roadway all completed, so the farmers could come in with produce and go back with their wagons and automobiles, filled with all sorts of store goods? “So men and women alike of Mitchellville worked all day long, though the sun was hot and the work was hard. Today the Mitchellville speedway, six miles long, is a monument to the efforts of the men and women of Mitchellville who decided ‘that a clean-up day should mean something more than just idle talk and newspaper publicity.”

ADDED TO NATION’S WEALTH

Home Gardens Have Been of Great Benefit Both to the Country and to Communities. The campaign so persistently conducted last spring'and summer to enlist families in the home garden movement can be said to have been an extraordinary success. The estimate that $850,000,000 worth of produce has been raised in war gardens in the United States this year and that housewives have canned at least 460,000,000 jars of-vegetables and frvlfaf is Impressive. The figures, of course, cannot be anywhere near exact, but there can be no question that the total amount of foodstuffs produced has been enormous, and they are probably not excessive. All of-it was a clear addition to the wealth and resources of the nation. Thus, labor and land that had formerly gone unused brought practical benefit to the laborer and the nation. The Investment has paid so well that it ought to be repeated on a more extensive scale next year. Hundreds of families who never had a garden before have enjoyed fresh vegetables from their home yards this sumner. Many of them have learned something of the art of gardening and have lecome keenly interested in It. All lave benefited physically from Interesting work in the open air. These need not be advised to plan tor a bigger garden next year. But ‘hose who, through procrastination arid ndolence, failed to realize th© profits >f gardening this year should start naklng plans for next spring now.

Garden Sprinkling Harmful.

Watering a plant or a garden space by sprinkling is usually more harmful than helpful, inasmuch as it Induces the growth, up In the moistened area', of fine feeding rootlets that should be leep in the ground, says Woman’s Home Companion. These, reaching In a network near the surface for the moisture, find themselves exposed to the fierce and baking heat of midsummer whenever the moisture dries out, and dry out it will. They are unable ft bear this scorching, being extremely tender ajuJ. dematitling cool earth around them, and the result is either death to the plant or so weakened and miserable a condition that it might as well die. This surface watering by a hose or hand bears no relation, of course, to a thorough saturation as a system of irrigation makes possible. But unless such a system is installed, I would urge every gardener In the country to pin his faith to the cultivator and his own industry therewith, rather than to any method of watering by hand. Certain things may be “watered in” when transplanting; but otherwise, -eschew the hose and watering can.

Corpus Christi Philosophy.

Do not consider that a town is great because it has mountains, lakes, rivers, trees or blue skies. A town is never great unless it has men and women to stamp it with character and assure It destiny. Th ere is more in a soul than a body, and this is not less true of towns than of persons.—Corpus Christi (Texas) Caller.
