FARM-TO-KITCHEN PLAN WINS California Grangers Declare Their Experiment Has Proved to Be a Success.

Success for their direct marketing oxporimont was claimed hy the grangers of SacraniGnto county, who have heon operating their enterprise under the David Luhin plan of selling farm products direct from the country producer to the city consumer, the Sacramento (Cal.) correspondent of the San Francisco Bulletin writes. They have expressed hope that congress would take some action recognizing the plan. The Sacramento county grangers, headed by Joseph Holmes, master of the California state grange, assumed the burden of the experiment. After the first eight days of operation Holmes said: "There Is no question in my mind about the feasibility of the plan. It presents undoubted possibilities and would bo a great success." During the experiment the parcel post is not being used. Instead, the grange sends a motor car around to gather up and distribute the products. To meet this expense and other expense of operation tags are sold to farmers at a rate that would equal the parcel-post charges as set forth in Lubin's bill, these rates, by the way, to bo special for farmers. Hero's how it works: The farmer mails or sends in tags on which ho designates the products he has for sale and the price at which he holds them. The city housewife mails, telephones or brings in her order to the central office, paying with coupons. The orders are distributed among tho farmers and next day the motor car delivers the products. The farmer receives cash to the amount of the coupons. The grangers assert that their plan saves housewives from two to ten cents a pound on all products. TOWN IS BUILT ON POTASH Thriving Community Grows Up Because of Discovery of Almost Pure Article. Hoflland, Neb., from Mttle railroad siding a year ago, with two or three cars standing on the track, has grown until it has been placed on the railroad map as a full-fledged town, shipping out thirty cars a day. Hoflland prom ises to grow still more, the Omaha World-Herald says. It is all on account of potash and its by-products. The fields at Hoflland are the only ones in the United States where the almost pure article is found. In Utah and southern Califor nia, where tho mineral is taken from kelp beds, the cost of reducing the pure potash from the vegetable matter makes the marketable product expen sive. Here is found an almost pure article that necessitates nothing but pumping, boiling and drying, when it is ready for tho refinery, where it brings the here tofore unknown price of $500 a ton. A Chicago packing company has con tracted for the town's entire output for five years. A Willing Worker. An amusing incident is told which took place in one of the occupied dis tricts of Belgium where the German occupier doles out potatoes to such of the starving people as agree to work for him. One recipient present ed himself before the German authorities and declared himself quite ready in return for a supply of potatoes to work for the Germans and only for them. He seemed quite decided and genuine in his offer of work. "Then you are quite willing to sign the declaration?" asked the German officer. "Yes. quite willing." "And what is your trade?" "I am a grave digger," replied tho Belgian stolidly. She Couldnrt Have It. A small boy who was sitting next to a very haughty woman in a crowded car kept sniffing in a most annoying manner. At last the lady could bear it no longer and turned to the lad. "Boy, have you got a handkerchief?" she demanded. The small boy looked at her for a few seconds, and then, in a dignified tone, came the answer: "Yes. I 'ave, but I don't lend it to strangers." London Chronicle. Asparagus Is Healthful. Asparagus has often been called the "king's vegetable." It was cultivated by the Egyptians, and the ancient Greeks used it as a medicinal com pound. We find it cultivated in Rome in 200 B. C, Cato being one of the first to encourage its national planting. Modern scientists agree that the highly beneficial results obtained from eating asparagus are due to its large content of asparagrin. Physicians rec ommend asparagus in cases of heart, stomach and kidney trouble. Complex Bookkeeping. The one fundamental principle un derlying all successful business is that the cost must be less than the selling price. In the operation of this prin ciple agriculture is no exception. Farming, however, is such a complex business, and the different enterprises making up the farm unit are so intri cately related, that it requires an ex pert bookkeeper to juggle the figures and ascertain whether there has been profit or loss.

HAPPENING

"Jackie" Finds Fishing Good in Hotel Fountain NEW YORK. For almost three hours at dinner time recently the water of the fountain in the fountain room of the Ansonia hotel was quiet. Tho usual inhabitants of the fountain were totally absent and the tinkle of the splashing water against the metal

sides of the tank was missing. It was customary each evening for the diuers as they passed into the fountain room to stop at the fountain, gaze for a moment at the Japanese goldfish swimming about and wish the head waiter a good evening. They stopped and looked, but they saw no goldfish, and in their desire to know why and where they had gone they forgot to wish the head waiter the usual good evening. A hurried investigation, whlsnered conversation between the waiters and Little "Jackie" Williams and his

cently from their home in Bay St. Louis, near New Orleans. "Jackie" who

is eight years old, was one of those who stopped a moment the night before to watch the goldfish. They reminded him of the fish in the 'pool of his

father's garden at his home. The tables were set, but no one was in the

dining room when "Jackie" appeared

end of a string and his father's cane. When one of the bellboys discovered "Jackie" far from the hustle and bustle of the life of a busy city, the Utile fellow was vainly trying to catch

with his hand one. of the finny creatures which had refused to be lured to

the hook. The rest of the gold fish family were wriggling and flapping themselves into a state of coma in several plates which had been placed near by to contain soup. First aid was administered by the bellboy, the fish were watered and "Jackie's" father notified. The result was a bargain and sale of the fish by the hotel management to Mr. Williams so that "Jackie" might not feel homesick. The fountain was stilled so that the last member of the family might be captured, and a new assortment ordered.

sickening to think of how hard is concrete and how soft and mashable is the human organism. A woman turned with a little scared cry. The hearts of strong men stood still. Then a daredevil youth drew close to the building, so close that he was nearly under the swaying scaffold so near that he could distinguish the words of the man 'screaming high above. "What's the matter?" asked a man in a bated voice, as the youth drew nway, starting to leave. "Nothing," said the youth, "only that guy up there wants 'em to send up a 'chew.' "

Bursars Play the Phonograph as They Loot Flat MINNEAPOLIS. Daylight burglars made merry in the home of Mrs. C. Aubrey, on the second floor of 1105 East Lake street, on their recent visit. They played several records on the phonograph. Two of the numbers were dance selections and the visitors

danced. They even moved heavy furniture around to make room for the foxtrotting. Then they served lunch, cleaning up most of the provisions in the larder. The music, the dancing, the moving of furniture and the rattle of plates and silver were heard all through the apartment building. Their boldness apparently saved the burglars from detection, for neighbors thought mem

bers of the Aubrey family were home and were having a party, and gave the matter no further attention until Mrs. Aubrey returned at 6 p. m. and found her fiat ransacked. Two gold watches, $4 in change and some clothing were part of the loot taken. On the first floor of the building were Mrs. Mary Gilbert and her daughter, Louise. Mrs. Gilbert is partially deaf, but even she heard the noise made by the robbers.

Centuries of Bad Luck Await This Unhappy Man NEW YORK. If there is any truth in the superstition regarding seven years of bad luck after wrecking a mirror the case of James Carty is something to consider. He broke three tons of mirrors last night in upper Broadway, and the first indication of the

berg brought him to a stop. The iceberg was an open motor truck filled to a considerable height with mirrors and owned by Morris Armstrong of 792 Amsterdam avenue. The driver, Eugene Morgan, apparently saw everything but the car. They met. The automobile was driven ten feet sideways and finally toppled over, splintering every mirror it contained. Two men on the seat of the automobile, Samuel Cohen and Richard McCrave, who had been assisting the driver, were hurled to the pavement xind Morgan was thrown several feet.

CHECKERS VERY MUCH IN FASHION. Found! A new use for an old game. The man who suggested checkers as a summer resort indoor sport may not have been a genius, but a visit to a popular water front amusement place near Baltimore will prove that it was a happy idea. At this resort the management has installed half a dozen small tables, each with a checker-board top. There the checker "fiend" may get five cents' worth of diversion, or more if his pocketbook can stand it. In addition to the pleasure of the game thpre is the added attraction of an admiring gallery, for there is always a crowd about the tables when games are on. It is possible that checkers are destined to take the place of bowling at tho suburban resorts.

The Effects of Opiates. THAT INFANTS are peculiarly susceptible to opium and ita Tartoa preparations, all of which aro narcotic, is well known. Even in th smallest closes, if continued, these opiates cause changes in the functions and growth of tho cells which aro likely to become permanent, causing imbecility, mental perversion, a craving for alcohol or narcotic in later Ufa. Nervous diseases, such as intractable nervous dyspepsia and lack of gtayinr powers aro a result of dosing with opiates or narcotics to keep children quw In their infancy. The rule among physicians is that children ihould never receive opiates in tho smallest doses for more than a day at a time, and only then if unavoidable. The administration of Anodynes, Drops.

American Silo in Holland. The first American ensilage tower in Holland, which was erected last year on the Johannahoeve farm at Oosterbeek by the Institute for Agricultural Improvement, has given such good results that two other towers are now to be built on the same farm, which will provide sufficient ensilage maize to keep the entire farm stock during next winter. The head of the Johannahoeve project asserts that the American method is preferable to that hitherto In use there. An excellent fodder for all kinds of animals is thus produced, he sajTs, while the losses by fermentation are considerably less. He comes to the conclusion that as many as 44 cows can be maintained on 37 acres by the new method, and that with exclusive stable feeding they might even be maintained on about 22 acres, only an albuminous fodder needing to be added in the winter. Worth Knowing. If vegetables have burned in the kettle put In soda and a little water; boil a while and the kettle Is easily cleaned. Sprinkle soda on the grease spots on the floor, then wash In hikewam. water and the result Is fine. Soda is good to clean the bowls and tubs in the bathroom. Every man has his train of usefulness.
