Checkerbsrries | | and Romance By DOUGLAS ROTH (Copyright V LIVK Macfaki.aM) had suceeeiled in eluding e other members of the party with whom she had motored tip the Mohawk frail and into tin* old Vermont town wherein they had decided to spend a few days. She bad stolen out of tier room early in the morning, begged the old cook in the kitchen of the tea-house in which i they were staying for a cup of coffee and a sandwich, an extra bite to ! take in her pocket, and had escaped j across the river alone, on foot, into i New Hampshire. When she had spoken of climbing the great mountain that overhung the river there had been no wild enthusiasm on the part of the others. So siie had decided to climb the hills alone. Snake? were the only things to Ik* feared, in Olive's mind. Enjoying every moment of the morn ing, she had climbed up, up the murow trail and not' encountered a liuman soul. She had sung aloud, she had gathered blueberries, she had sat down on the soft, tufted soil of pine needles. Her every nerve was alive; she was happy—almost. Olive always added, softly to herself, the adverb. For she was not altogether happy when, in her heart was the feeling that a big thing had passed her by. She had not won the love of the man whom she had adored since school days. Now, as she climbed up the mountain trail, supported by the big stick she had picked up on the way, she thought of him. He seemed to be Vividly before her here in the silent places of the hills. At last she 6at down beneath three friendly white birch trees and un wrapped her meager lunch. How oft en, hack in her school days, she had sat beneath birch trees and eaten her midday meal together with the girls in her botany class and —the teacher George Darling had taught botany, among other branches, in the preparatory school in tlie Middle West to which Olive had been sent before entering college. Every girl in the class had fancied herself in love with, the big, handsome, kindly professor, but he had treated them all alike, as little girls, and was interested in teaching them of all the growing things. The girls enjoyed their hours with him more than they would admit to each other. Olive had always been a student of nature, and perhaps in her Georg Darling found a particularly coinpan ionable mind. At least. Olive felt that he liked her, though she dared not believe that be thought of her in any way s>ave as a pupil among the others. Today as she sat dreaming of him — for in perspective tie had grown more truly to be her ideal man —her eye caught a leaf growing near by that seemed to recall memories of him. She reached put to pick the little cluster of shiny green leaves and found the white berries, once so fa miliar to her, growing on the stem. ’ “Checkerberries!” she cried aloud. “I have not gathered any for years." She found a number of the tiny plants and gathered them: ail into a bunch and sat down again.

“1 wonder, if he would remember roe if—if I should, send him a specimen and ask him for a description of it?” ghe soliloquized. It must have been the romance of the mountains that' got into' her blood, for when she descended she was lit orally walking on air, so lightly did she touch the paths. et were the ohm berberries villi their pungent fragrance, recalling those happy schooldays. In her soul wu* a determination to see if these leaves, gathered in this .remote hnt wonderful woods, could spell romance for her. Hhe stopped at the post office on her way back to join the others that (tight and win-re her friends scolded her roundly for having taken the tone ty. trail-alone, she did not heera to mind. It took only time for a return post to reach tier tie fore olive had a letter in a hand once familiar to her. "Dear Olive,” tt ran, ”1 taste not only the wintergreen as 1 bite, into the little 4 cluster of leaves you have sent roe from j our mountains, .

Lilac Always Blossom of Love and Lovers The lilac is an oriental blossom, coming to us originally by way of Turkey and Spain. It is supposed to he the flower >t love arid lovers, mark- | ing the heyday of spring. The iovelore of the "l.ivlock,” to give it an | Old-world name is varied and pleasi ant. A spray of white lilac, buried on the eve of a May moon, is a mid j land charm which maidens practiced, believing that hy the time the lilacdied they would have the heart of the man they desired.' If as many lilac j petals ns composed the name of a lovI er were strung on triple threads of | white silk, and worn in a little hag next to the heart, before next lilac i time eante the lover would be won by j this secret charm. If you have lilac in your garden no gltost can enter your house; if white lilac grows beside your door you will never he without love nnd luck; if you pluck a spray of lilac without your lovers knowledge when walking with him. i put one of it-- petals in his drink; if ! lie swallows it, he is yours forever and i a day. A “luck lilac.” usually found on .white lilac, has live divisions of i the petal instead of four, if you are I in love, look for a luck lilac, swallow | it, and your loved one will be faithi fill for all time! Thus love and lilac j are irrevocably related. Beds of Clay Reveal the Passage of Time Geologists enn follow the tracks of the sun and tell the time, year by year, in geological ages—so ancient that even by millions of years they are hard to count. Not tar from Stockholm there are some remarkable beds of clay, regularly arranged in alternating bands of sand and clay. These turn out to I be the layers deposited by the melting glaciers of the Ice age, each one laid down in the spring and summer when the sun was hottest And as there was a freeze-up each winter and melting each summer, the layers become almost as accurate an index to the antiquity of the Ice age as the annual rings of a tree are to the age of the tree. Moreover, the same system of meas uring geological time has uow been extended over all Scandinavia, and parts of India and South America. Everywhere the layers appear to correspond so closely in the variations ot their thickness, year by year, that there seems no doubt they were laid down in corresponding years.—Baron Gerard de Geer.

Gas From Oil Wells Vapor that rise from oil wells and which has hitherto gone to waste is now being bottled and sold as fuel. This vapor is obtained from wells that are in production or from wells that have been pumped out, and burns with : an odorless gas flame after it has i gone through various processes. It is first refined .and compressed uutil it becomes a low-pressure liquid | that reassumes its gaseous form on being released from the steel bottles in i which it is stored, These bottles are J attached to heating appliances by j pipes and tubes. When the valve of the jet is turned on the pressure of the gas forces it through an air miser similar to that of any gas range. Confucius Great Sage The man whose memory has for 2,000 years aroused signal respect and honor in China was a sage, not a saint nor a, founder of a religious faith. Confucious took the best of i the varioqs Chinese philosophers of libs day and formed a cult of his own. using as a basis five cardinal virtues—righteousness, kniivdedge,. sincerity ' politeness and discrimination of good. The wisdom of the Chinese Solomon so delighted the people that ■temples were built In his honor, his wise say 1 ings were widely quoted and oame to he. taught in the Chinese schools.

DAIRY IMPROVEMENT IN ELKHART COUNTY The Elkhart County Cow-testing : Association recently completed it’s ! fourth year. There have been times 1 during this period when it was difficult to convince 26 men. the number necessary for a full association, that the work had sufficient merit to justify the effort, expense and, worry of keeping up an organization. Events during the last year, however, have proven that cow-testing in Elkhart County is past the experimental stage. Sales of herds with cow-testing association records in this and other counties of Indiana, have proven that there are a large number of farmers who are willing to pay high prices for cows that have demonstrated through accurate records their ability to produce at a good margin of profit. Each year there is an increasing nurhber ot dairymen in the county who see the advantage of accurate information and for this reason are no longer willing to buy cows like "eats* in a bag.” At no place in farm operation can business principles be (applied to better advantages than in ’ the management of the dairy herd, and the best arguments in favor of this contention are the men who have been in the cow testing association long enough to give the whole system a thorough trial. The C. T. A. year in Elkhart County begins May Ist. Last year 16 herds completed records. The average production for the year of these herds was 7744 lbs. of milk and 318.4 lbs. butter fat per,,cow. This average, j when compared with the Indiana State average for all cows of 165 lbs. |of butter fat per cow, shows that real progress in production is being made. In the local association: 2 cows produced over 500 lbs. butterfat; 24 cows produced over 400 lbs. butterfat; 56 cows produced over 350 lbs. butterfat, and 98 cows produced over 300 lbs. butterfat. Thj two cows | producing over 500 lbs. of butterfat are grade Guernseys and are owned by Herbert Kilmer of Baugo Twp. They are also the two high cows in -the association with records as follows: High cow 11763 and 609.7 lbs* butterfat. Second high cow 10520 lbs, milk and 528.3 lbs., butter fat. The honors for the high herd in the association also go to Mr. Kilmer. This is a grade herd of Guernseys with an average production of 8013 lbs. of milk and 386.8 lbs. butter fat per cow. j . * j; Millard Stookey, with a pure bred herd of Holsteins has the second (high herd with an average of 11094 : lbs. milk and 379.3 lbs, butter fat per cow.
