HOW PLANTS ARE "MATED”

Breeders Today Able to Control With Much Definiteness the Character of the Offspring. Plants very commonly depend for their cross-fertilization upon Insects, which carry pollen from flower to flower. But, of course, the matings thus accomplished are purely haphazard. ‘ , The plant breeder to get worth while results must select the destined parents and control the character of the offspring by making sure that a particular flower receives only certain pollen, the latter being the male element He accomplishes this by artificial Impregnation —a matter easy enough, especially In a greenhouse. The pollen may be carried in a watchglass and applied with the tip of a little brush. There are, however, other methods. To make the flower safe against other and accidental pollens, It is inclosed in a tiny bag of cheesecloth. Then the breeder Is sure of his parents, and it remains only to be seen how the offspring will turn out. It may prove a valuable new variety. Suppose that a fruit Is concerned. The latter, to prevent Injury by Insects or birds, may be further protected by a cheesecloth bag big enough to allow for Its full development. Thus it grows to ripe perfection and, when it is ready to be picked, judgment can be given as to its value.

SUNLIGHT IS FOE OF DEATH

The Moro a Man or Woman Can Gat of It, the Healthier and Happier Will They Be.

One time we were tramping the for.ests of North Carolina in search of game. When none came and we wished to return to camp we discovered we were lost—completely “turned around.” Then we recalled reading one time, “Light is life, moss always grows on the north side of the tree trunk—farthest removed from the rays of the sun.” We set about looking for moss, and sure enough it was on the same side of each tree. With this as a guide it didn’t take us long to find our way back to the place whence we came. But the point we wish to make is that the moss would not have been on the north side of the; tree If it hadn’t been Impossible for the sun’s rays to reach It. Moss thrives on death. And death Is always found In the wake of the sunless path. The more sunlight there is In your life the more you live. The freer you are from moss and the things that thrive without light, the better man or woman you are. Get all the sunlight you can Into your sleeping and waking hours.—Milwaukee Journal.

A printing press with .a remarkable history li preserved "by the University jtf Oregon. On it was printed, 73 years ago, the first number of the Oregon Spectator at Oregon City. This was the first: press to be used west of the Rocky mountains, and it was transported to Oregon City by George Abernathy, the first provisional governor of Oregon. The old Washington hand press was in use in Oregon City until the late sixties, when it was removed to Eugene. While being transported up the Willamette river the press was shipwrecked, but after a time it was raised and continued its > journey. For nearly half a century it < was in use at Eugene, where It was presented to the state university. The University of Washington at Seattle 'also has a famous old handpress, which was used in 1847 to print the California Star, the first paper in San Francisco, and later was used in printing the first number of the Portland Oregonian in 1850, and the first paper in Seattle in 1863.

The light of the moon is due entirely to reflection of the light of the sun, and the different phases of the moon to its position in relation to the position of the earth and the sun. When there is a new moon, half of the surface of the moon is illuminated, but the greater portion is turned from the earth and only a delicate crescent appears to us. At the first quarter, half of the Illuminated surface is turned toward us, and at the fifteenth day the moon reaches a point in the heavens directly opposite to that which the sun occupies. She is then in opposition, and the whole of the illuminated surface is turned toward lih, and we have a full moon. From opposition the moon passes on In her orbit, gradually decreasing in size, or rather less and less of the illuminated part being turned toward the earth.

By the‘Constitution of the United States, congress has the sole right to govern the District of Columbia. But congress, for convenience, delegates its powers to three commissioners. Two are appointed from civil life by the president, with the consent of the senate. One must be an engineer officer of the army, of the rank of captain, at least. He is detailed by the president for service as a commissioner, at the president’s pleasure. The other commissioners serve three years. The commissioners have practically supreme power to govern, subject to the laws as interpreted by the court at appeals of the District.

INDIANA SOLDIERS TO AID S. A. DRIVE

Col. Solon J. Carter, 42d F. A., of 14th Division, Directs State Campaign. -*- - - - Home People Ready to Back Up Salvation Army Workers in Gratitude for Services to Boys In ,tha Trenches. Indianapolis, May 15. —Indiana is rapidly getting set for the Salvation Army National Home Service Fund Campaign May 19 to 26. Col. Solon J. Carter, Indiana State Chairman, has already confirmed the appointment of directors of the drive in a majority of counties in the state and In others organization is in process. Col. Carter is the youngest officer of that rank in the American Army, according to the best Information ’ obtainable hero. His promotion came in July, 1918, when he was twentynine years old. Col. Carter was Major of the 150th Field Artillery when- that unit left Indianapolis in September, 1917. April 28th, 1918, he was advanced to LieutenantColonel of the Regiment. ‘Following his appointment as Colonel he was transferred to the 42nd Field Artillery of the 14th Division, locatedat Camp Custer, and he had prepared that unit for overseas service when ’the Armistice was signed. Col. Carter was decorated‘with the Croix de Guerre and palm for his gallant conduct on the Champagne front In the attack July 15th, when he commanded an artillery detachment which. Included six French batteries stationed in front of the town of Sulppes. For seventy-six hours the fiercest possible fighting was endured.

Col. Carter has been prominent in welding together the Indiana organization of World War Veterans and the National Organization of Soldiers, Sailors and Marines, which recently "convened In St. "L6uls. He has accepted the State Chairmanship In the Salvation drive because he has known personally the service which Salvation Army workers gave to the country’s fighting men on the battlefield where they shared with the men in khaki all of the dangers. Practically all of the counties in the state are organized for the. campaign, and chairmen and other executives have been named. Each county is organized as a working unit and will conduct its own drive, under the direction of the local committee. -Organization meetings are now being held In all parts of the state and reports indicate unusual interest. It is stated by county chairmen that no difficulty is anticipated in raising the quotas asked for. The Interest that is being taken by the soldiers is proving a determining factor in the campaign, and the home people are ready to back .up their boys—who went to the front—by assisting the Salvation Army workers who meant so much to the men while they were in the trenches. Thousands of letters from Indiana soldiers came back from "over there" that told of their gratitude to the Salvation AJrmy; And of their deep obligation and now that the opportunity has come to express appreciation in substantial form, the parents and friends of these boys are ready to do their part. President Wilson cabled a personal endorsement to Commander Miss E. Booth. The campaign is attracting widespread attention from returned service men, and hundreds are volunteering their aid to assist in putting over the drive. In fact, one of the remarkable features is the general in-* terest manifested by prominent individuals of all faiths and walks In life, as well as organized bodies. Among the latter are the various lodges of Elks throughout the state, all of which are co-operating. Cardinal Gibbons Is among the high churchmen who have endorsed the movement. There are forty corps and outposts of the Salvation Army in Indiana. Heretofore the money has been raised by small collections 1 made by individual members of the army, but no longer will the Salvation Artny . girls go about with their tambourines collecting pennies. This method has been a bugbear to members and lie alike. The new way will permit the workers, who have devoted more than their time to collections, to give all their time in the future to the work for which they have been trained.

A war worker, who served to the hospitals in France throughout the war, said: “Too much praise cannot be given the Salvation Army workers for their faithful, devoted service. They went right up to the trenches and many a soldier has told me that when the service men in the trenches became desperate they always found a Salvation Army worker at hand to help them bear their sufferings and cheer them up. Many a soldier who has been in the trenches without relief was sought out by a Salvation Army man or woman and given a cup of hot coffee and* food at the very moment that It seemed as if nature 1 could bear no more. That’s why all the soldiers love the Army and why they are solidly behind the drive.”

Young men have been confronted with the necessity of furnishing proof of age and citizenship, and have found proof lacking on account of faulty laws or imperfect enforement of the law. Provisions Birth Registration Laws 'The law requires that the baby’s birth be reported by the physician, the nurse or midwife in attendance, to the health officer, or town clerk, who reports it To the state board of health.

you a blank on which you may record the child’s birth yourself. It is not too late at any time, and may be very important for him ia the years to come. Register Your Child’s Birth Now See that the child is named before the 4th of the month following date of birth. A large per cent of birth records have no Christian name, thus making a worthless record in future years. See to it that the records of Jasper county are complete. The health officer has tried to make these as complete as possible, but is handicapped because parents are careless about naming the child. —Dr. F. H. HEMPHILL, County Health Officer.
