ISLOXDES AND DRAINS 1 ALKAKNED Judge was recently quoted as announcing from his bench that he would not approve of blonde ladies as members of a Jury which was about to hear a case under Ids Jurisdiction. T.londes are fickle," were the words attributed to the Justice, Intimating that fickleness Is a bar to what the law is supposed to assure the person on trial. A year or so ago a big Western employer In advertising for oflice help announced that hevvouId not receive the applications of blondes, giving as a reason that he had found them Inattentive to work and temperamental in disposition. There has always been a good deal of discussion regarding the relative attractiveness of blondes and brunettes despite the fact that In the long ago when the caveman was the highest type of civilization, we were all blonde, or at least red hair was the darkest tint. The reason why nature covered primeval men and women with blonde or red hair was twofold; that It served the same purposes pf low visibility which Is gained by. the animals whose fur coats blend with the surroundings In which they live and the fact that those colors better protected the skin from the effects of direct sunl!ght. e e We know that these colors of hair prevailed because in the discovery of almost every burial place of people of that time light or reddishly tinged hair has been found. It Is Interesting to note that the 3 ! 1 THE WOODS By DOUGLAS MALLOCH THE SPORT.

Which Is petting Fomc little way dlstr.nt from the contention that blonde women are not fit for jury duty because they lire fickJe. DI(!o, queen of Carthage, of whQm Virgil writes In tin? Aeneld, was not fickle, althouph she' was a blonde. .She stuck to her hero through thick and thin and killed herself with a sword that he furnished. Cleopatra, who had red hair, a shade darker than the real blonde, was not what one might call absolutely constant in her devotions, but in modern society she might not be listed as extremely fickle. Hut the analyzing of society, ancient or modern, according to the color of the hair, would not furnish very substantial basis for judging either women or men, blondes or brunettes. It Is what Is just under their hnlr that establishes the real qualifications for any sort of duty. Rrains are all one color. If the color of hair determined ability what would become of the unfortunates who haven't any hair at all? Never mind about your hair, young lady readers. Don't bother about its color, and don't spend too much time -fixing" it. If you are to be anxious about anything, be anxious about the Inside of your head Instead of the outside. That's the side that counts. (Copyright.)

THE GIRL ON THE JOB E How to Succeed How to Get 5 AheadHow to Make Good I By JESSIE ROBERTS Tlllilll!IIIIIII!!IIIIliI!IUllIll!!Ii!II!!IIII!I!f7 LII3KAKY WOItK LIIJIIAKY work has a great appeal to many women. A girl Is sure of a good deal of liberty in such.work. can add to its value and interest If she 1? so .minded, and can feel fairly certain of permanent employment. Hut the salaries are nnall, very small. Like the teacher, the librarian must struggle to make both ends meet and keep up appearances. She has usually had a thorough education and a special training that has ot money. .Sometimes she begins her work with a debt to pay off. She often injures rer health In the attempt to do this. This is wrong. I tfiow one young woman who Is librarian in a technical library. Everything about the work is attractive and interesting; the girl loves It. But she cculd not afford to keep the position were it not that she has a small private Income to help, and no one dependent upon her. She gets only $1,300 a . year, with a short vacation. Libraries and library positions are to see a great increase in the next fewyears. Clever and well-bred women will be in demand. Hut how can such women afford, with living expenses what they are, to take positions so poorly paid? There must be a change In these things. The community must recognize that positions of this kind, which are an asset to the whole neighborhood, should receive a fair return. A good library cannot le good unless the librarians who work in it are well trained and lirst-class. Such cannot go on forever making sacrifices because they wish to serve the community, and love the labor they do. It is high time to Insist on a proper increase in library salaries. (Copyright.) V THE ROMANCE OF WORDS BUMPER." USED in the sense of a 'bumper" of wine and therefore belonging to the malt, vinous and dead languages this word harks back to the days of the Restoration when the drinking was deep and the shouting long and when, as penance for any slip of the tongue or forgetfulness of manners, the culprit was sentenced to drink a "bumper" without spilling a drop.

DESTRUCTION OF WEEDS ES URGED

Noxious Plants Are With Us Always and Are Often Accepted as Inevitable Evil. CONTROL PROBLEM IS VITAL Even Wild Onicn, So Long Considered Hcpelest, Can Be Destroyed and So Can Others, If Farmer Follow Set Rules. (Prepared by the Unite! States Department of Agriculture.) Weeds have been with us since the day when Adam, doomed to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow, bean scraping with n stick at the plants he did not want In order to give those he did want a chance to grow. In modem days farmers are apt to ignore weeds or to accept them as an inevitable evil. Weed Destruction Paramount. The results of over 200 experiments conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture with various crops strongly indicate that after preparing the seed beu the main object of cultivation is to destroy weeds. If . v.im SHEEP SOkWüL A PA.MCLK d rwir p C Rfct.t 'SMOOTH DOCK r ROO f STOCK : A Knowledge of Weed Characteristics Provides Means of Control. this theory is correct the weed-control problem overshadows all others with which the farmer is confronted. Modern agricultural science has discovered much concerning the control and eradication of these insidious land thieves. The wild onion, for example, was considered a hopeless problem from Massachusetts to Georgia, and as far west as Misoiri and Arkansas until a weed specialist in the Department of Agriculture discovered that the plant produced two kinds of bulbs. One type was soft-coated, and formed the new plants during late summer and fall; the other was hard so that it was unharmed by winter, and ready to form the new plants In the spring. With this to guide them the specialists proved that the wild onion can be controlled by plowing deeply in the late fall to destroy the plants originating from the soft-coated bulbs, and by planting an intertilled crop, such as corn, the following spTing to kill the plants that come up from the hardcoated bulbs. Weedy roadsides are constant sources of trouble for the adjoining farm lands. The seeds are carried miles by automobiles, horses, and passing wagons, so that they become a menace to the whole community. If nothing better can be done with the roadside weeds they can be mowed twice a year. This treatment, if well kept up, will effectively check the trouble. Sometimes a roadside can be converted into a lawn, orlt can be used for crops, to the pride and profit of the farmers whose land it borders. Control Measures. The underlying principles of weed control are shown In these rules by the specialists of the United Stutes Department of Agriculture: Use pure seed. Rotate the farm crops. Utilize pasturing animals, particularly sheep- and goats, In keeping weeds down. Never allow weeds to mature. Mow before the seeds have ripened. " Use intertilled croj-s, and cultivate often. Kill weeds while they are young by means of a harrow or a weeder. Compost manure for two months before using If it contains weed seeds. Practice surface cultivation after the crops have been removed In the falL Use smother crops; buckwheat, soy beans, cowpeas. velvet leans, clover, etc. Chemical poisons often are helpful. Prepare the seed beds thoroughly to give the crop a start over the weeds. Use winter cover crops. Hunt out the scattered weeds, and kill them. Mow dangerous grasses and burn the dry cuttings. Small patches of perennial weeds can be killed by covering for the entire season with building- paper, boards, or other materials to exclude the light. Kill the roots of perennial weeds by keeping the tops cut down. Grow alfalfa, when practicable, on weed-infested land. Soli improvement by the use of lime or green manure will help to control the weeds. Soiling crops prevent the weeds from tvnchlnr mntrritr.

PEPPER PLANTS NEED EXTRA CARE TO GROW

Few Plants Required by the Average Family. Prepare Seed Bed by Forking or Spading to Dspth cf 8 or 9 Inches, Working in Well.Rctted Ma. nufe and Fertilizer. (IVepared by the United States Depart ment Agriculture.) Sweet peppers, sometimes called Chinese peppers and Mammoth peppers, are becoming more and more popular ns a crop for planting in the home garden. Only -a few plants are necessary to supply the family of average size with all the peppers they will vaant, but it takes good land and extra care to produce peppers of high quality, say garden specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. Pepper plants are easily injured by cold and the, plants should be started in the house, in a hotbed, or in a greenhouse. Perhaps the best way is to purchase a dozen or so good plants from some seedsman or plant grower. In preparing the soil for peppers, first spade or fork the hind over to a depth of eight or nine inches. At the same time work in some well-rotted ma nure and a large handful of commercial fertilizer to each square yard of space. This should be done at least a week before the pepper plants are set out. Then loosen the surface thoroughly at the time the plants are set. Frequent cultivation is necessary, and an occasional application of weak liquid manure to the soil around the plants will keep them 'growing vigorously. Large, tender peppers can only be produced on thrifty plants, and in order to keep the plants producing all the peppers should be kept picked oft and none allowed to ripen. Ituby King, Chinese Giant, and Large Veil or Pull Nose are among the leading varieties of the large svcet peppers. Pimento peppers are mild in flavor and are largely grown in the Southern states fornaklng the pimento pickled peppers. The pimento peppers can be used in the same way as the regular sweet peppers, or they may be left on the plants until red ripe,then used for canning. HANDY RACK TO CARRY HOGS Hinged Partitions Particularly Useful in Hauling Animals of Different Sizes. It is in a w is like a very easy matter to haul hogs ell-made rack. The framework that of a hayrack. The floor Rack for Hauling Hogs.is laid level on top of the bolsters. The rack is just a big crate built on a level floor. There are two partitions with hinged i;ates, which make it possible to haul hogs of different sizes and save loss from "piling up'' on the way to market. PREVENT HAY FROM HEATING Department of Agriculture Experts Recommend Use of Ventilators cf Latticework. Hay, especially alfalfa or clover, is likely to suffer damage through heating in the barn. This can be prevented by ventilation. To ventilate a hay barn the United States Department of Agriculture experts recommend the use of lattice ventilators 12 to 15 inches square and as long as convenient. These ventilators, which look somewhat like elongated crates, are made with corners consisting of 2 by 4 scantlings slatted together with narrow boards 12 to 15 inches long. They should be braced to prevent crushing. The ventilators are laid in the hay 10 or 12 feet apart horizontally and far enough apart vertically so that the distance will not be more than S or 10 feet after the hay has settled. The ends should come out to the edge of the hay so as to permit free passage of air. This will permit the carrying off of steam caused by evaporation and will preserve the hay and prevent overheating. The ventilators can be made of various sizes of material, and, if strongly constructed, will last many years. PLACE FOR PUBLIC MARKETS Many Municipal Enterprises Hve Failed Because of Poor Selection of Site In City. Many public municipal markets have failed through being improperly situated, it has been found by the bureau of markets of the United States Department of Agriculture. A retail market should be centrally located In or as near a possible to the main shopping section, where street car facilities are g"odv specialists say. On such a site the public market would b? available to the greatest possible number cf people.
