"CVUIiPOUT, O. This burg has a -V real vivacious lady mayor. She's Dr. Amy Kaukoiien and here's the way she talks for publication: "Charges apalnst the modern plrl an til wrons. Too many of the people of today have too narrow and too exacting standards. Some folks are so narrow there. Isn't room to stick them between the eyes with a pin. "The modern jjirl Is charged with bobbing her hair, shaving her eyebrows, povtfdcring her nose-, rolling her stockings, and discarding her corset. "Why shouldn't a girl bob hor hair If she wants to? Nobody sets up a howl when the men do it, and look at the men you see in the front row of the theater and the back row at

Furthermore, I recommend a close haircut for every married woman, so if hubby comes home all lit up from moonshine whisky and Just Itching for a light, he won't be able to get such a 11 rm grip on wifey's hair when the marital battle begins. "The girl of today is criticised for wearing short skirts. The majority of women wear thorn, not to bo overbold, but simply to be in style. I wear short skirts myself and don't see why a girl should hide her ankles any more than her eJbows. Men are attracted to women by the faults they condemn in them. There isn't a man living who doesn't approve of short skirts on some other man's sweetheart or wife. "As far as the KC2 girl inviting censure by discarding the corset this is sheer puritanical nonsense and prudery. Corsets, ns every physician knows, should have been abolished long ago. "What do I feel about dancing? What Is my attitude regarding modern

jazz music? Well, the crash of the j

cymbals, the moan of the saxophone, and the Joyous melody of the violin always make me feel like moving my feet that's how I feel."

Jack Johnson Outpoints Mary's Lamb

TX7ASIIINGTON, N. H. The most educated dog In the world lives here, lie goes to school every day. He stays throughout the day's session. He has a special seat and desk assigned to him. He has an attendance report card Issued to him every month Just JIke the rest of the pupils and he has a fine attendance record In the school. The name of the knowledge-thirsty dog Is Jack Johnson. And though he's a black dog he wasn't named after the former boxing champion. He's a member of the Johnson family here and his folks named him Jack, hence the name. Now about his education : Jack's the

devoted playmate and protector of his J

little master, Ilalph Johnson, primary school pupil, and Ralph's little sister, who goes to the same school. The two chUdren walk to their country echool every day through a dark, lonet ly stretch of wood, thick with underbrush. They need Jack's protection on the way. So Jack goes along. And, when he gets to school, Jack couldn't very well wait outside till the session's over especially on cold days could he? So the teacher assigned a desk and seat to Jack. And there Jack sits all day. ' He never breaks school rules never barks or whines or distracts the attention of his fcJlow pu

Philip Marcy's the schoolmaster. Normally he's a sea captain In the United States merchant marine, but he's teaching in his spare time while shipping's slack. "Jack Johnson conducts himself In a manner befitting a gentleman and a scholar," the schooJmaster says. "Jack has a deep-rooted love for this school and seems to have an Insatiable appetite for learning." Jack's master, Ralph, is proud of his educated pet. "He always 4goes to school with my sister and me, rain or shine," Ralph says. "If all the kids had as good attendance records as Jack, thls'd be a model school."

"CM'KF.KA, Kan. Due year past the ' century mark and still physically and mentally alert and taking great Interest In politics and current events is George A. Gordon of this tow n. "My grandfather. George Gordon of Cumberland. Fa., was a soldier in the American revolution," related Mr. Gordon. "It was my great uncle, William Armstrong, who captured the six Hessinns and took them into Washington's camp, and said In reply to the general's question as to how he captured them: 'Faith. I surrounded them!' I recall, as a boy, hearing my grandfather tell of this and other incidents of the revolutionary war." Seventy-six years ago .Mr. Gonh!

Rich, Well-Prepared Soil Is Essential and Gocd Seed Should Be Used Parsnips and Salsify Deserve Attention. (Prepared by the United State Department oi Agriculture.) Root crops most commonly grown in home gardens are radishes, bv.ets, carrots, parsnips, salsify, and turnips. Of these beets and carrots stand at the head of the list from the standiolnt of food value from a given area of land, but It would be dillicult to state which of the root crops really is the most important, say garden specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. Radishes are among the first garden crops to be planted in spring, and a very small space is required to produce all that is needed by the average family. The soil should be loose, mellow, and very rich, so the radishes will grow quickly and be crisp and tender. Itndish seeds should be planted In a shallow furrow and covered about onehalf inch deep. Two or three varieties should be planted In order to have it continuous supply. French Ureakfast and Scarlet Globe Turnip are among those which mature in the shortest period, while Long Scarlet Short-Top and Long White Vienna or LadyFinger are good to follow the extra early varieties. Plant Beets Early. Garden beets can be planted almost as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring. Rich soil that is well prepared is essential. Commercial fertilizers and well-rotted manures are best to supply plant food, but should be very thoroughly mixed with the soil. Egyptian and Detroit Dark Red are among the leading varieties. Sow the seed In a shallow drill, 1 ounce of seed to 50 feet of drill, and cover about 1 inch deep. When the plants have become well established thin so they do not crowd. A little later thin a second time, leaving the plants standing 4 to 5 inches apart in the row. Use the thinnings as greens. The round or turnip type of beets mature in CO to 70 days, while the longer ones require 100 to 120 days to complete their growth. It is an old saying. "Carrots for beauty and beets for strength," and while this can not be taken literally It, has a great amount of truth In it.' From the standpoint of health, carrots are very important in the diet, and their culture Is so simple that any gardener can grow them. Rich, well-

MANY WAYS IN WHICH PEANUTS ARE USEFUL

(Prepared by th United State Department oj Agriculture.) Peanuts are a drug on the market just now. That's because they are not eaten largely In cold weather, but with the coming of tLe robin, which Is a harbinger of spring, circuses and the opening of summer resorts, peanut snipers look for increased consumption, which may mean higher prices. In round figures. 000,000,000 pounds of peanuts are grown In the United States every year and 100,000,000 pounds were Imported from Asia last year.

An overland trip to Texas. during which he had typical experiences of the "wild West," such as getting caught in a buffalo stampede and being chased by Indians, improved his health so much that he decided to take up farming. "I attribute my longevity largely to my temperate habits ana active outdoor life," said Mr. Gordon.

Radishes Are Amcng the First Garden Crops to Be Planted. prepared soil is the first essential. Good seed is important, and the seed should always be that which was saved the previous year. Oxheart and Chantenay are the varieties most commonly planted. Space the rows 15 to IS inches apart. One ounce of the seed is suthcient for HH) feet of row. Cover the seeds one-half inch deep and keep the crust slightly broken over the seeds until they come up. Thin twice, tinally leaving the plants three to five inches apart in the row, those pulled during the second thinning being used as "baby" carrots on the talJe. Parsnips and Salsify. Throughout the northern sections parsnips and salsify are important as root crops for the garden. Their culture is very much the same, and they require a deep, rich soil, so the long roots will have a chance to develop. Plant th seed early, so the plants will get well started before the heat of summer comes, and keep them growing the entire season. The rows should be To to IS inches apart and the plants thinned to stand four inches apart in the row. Parsnips and salsify may remain in the ground all winter until wanted for use. Hollow Crown is the leadinc variety of parsnip, while Mammoth Sandwich Island is the best known variety of salsify.

TO PRODUCE QUALITY FRUIT

Soil Must Have Mcst Careful Attention Where Trees Are Planted . Close Together. Close planted trees are going to need every favor possible in the way the soil i handled In order to continue to produce quality fruit. This means, for the most part, that Intercropping is to be discouraged unless the soil is unusually rich or constant application cf the proper fertilizers Is made.

A Good Peanut Plant. marKeting experts of the bureau of markets, United States Department of Agriculture. Few of the fond papas and mammas who buy Johnnie or Mary a bag of peanuts at the circus know that more than 100 different methods of utilizing peanuts, including the making of fancy dyes and wood stains, peanut milk, coffee, and ice cream have been devised, although few of these products are sold commercially. But peanut oil, peanut candy, peanut butter, salted peanuts, peanut cookies, roasted peanuts, and peanuts In a number of other forms run up the annual American per capita consumption to three and one-half pounds. Every time certain soaps are used the consumer is partaking of his three and one-half pounds. Fully half of the peanuts grown In the Southern states are fed to hogs. Lprge quantities of peanuts are exported also, 1,074,007 pounds having; gone out of the country during the month of January alone. Of this quantity, 78 per cent went to Canada, where the peanut enjoys copopularity with the clove. Cuba took 14 per cent, Jamaica 2 per cent, and Bermuda 1 per cent.

FEEDING VALUE OF GARBAGE Affords Hogs Well-Balanced Ration and Supplementary Feeds Are Net Necessary.

.Most garbage is of such variety that it enables a hog to balance its ration so that supplementary feeds are not required. In some cases, however, the animals are finished off on corn, barley, wheat middlings, and similar 'feed just before they are marketed. The feeding value of garbage, however, especially carefully selected garbage, is such that it Is seldom economical to use any additional grain supplement.

However, when grain is low in price,

good results might be obtained by feeding garbage alone during the summer months, when ordinarily there is a large production, and finishing the hogs on grain. Greater gains per day can be made with a grain supplement, but at greater cost than when garbage Is fed alone.

CAUSE OF SORE SHOULDERS

; Sweat and Dirt Chafing Skin, Making

It Tender, Is Reason Trouble !s' Preventable. During the first spring work many horses suffer from sore shoulders. Great care should be taken that these do not get a start. Good collars and good care of them are essential. See that the collars are thoroughly scraped, and then rubbed clean and dustod with talcum powder or powdered borax. Rub the horses shoulders with the hands, and, for the first few days of heavy work, bathe them each evening with cold salt water. Aftervards, bathe once or twice a week- Sore shoulders are first caused by sweat and dirt chafing the skin and making it tender. This Is an instance where an ounce of prevention is worth several pounds of cure.

BEST ORCHARD CULTIVATION If Intercropping Is Practiced It Is Better to Grow Some Crcp Like Strawberries. The orchard should be kept clean. The best practice Is to cultivate, not deep but shallow, In order not to disturb the roots, and not too close to the trees, for the same reason. If intercropping is to be practiced It is far better to grow- some crop like strawberries between the trees, or small bush fruits, and keep the remainder of the ground cultivated, than to permit grass sod or weeds to get a start
