■ :: -:-.:zzzw WHEN WRONG tyAS RIGHT By ANNA MUNDSON U ’ ~a Dick Doting flung the book into the corner where the evening paper already lay. crumpled and despised*. Hopefully he glanced at the clock, bi(t toe hands were still low on the dial. It was not yet 7:30, though it seemed fully an hour since he had last looked up to see the hands at twenty min» «tes past It was too early in the season to hare a Are, too early to have the windows closejd. but the glass was down ud the shades were drawn, and the rain beat j mournfully against the panes. There were times when Doring liked to sit beside the fire with a book and his pipe, apd hear the big drops splash against the sash. But that was when be was comfortable in mind and body, and the suggestion of the discomfort outside heightened the sense, of coziness within. . Tonight he was not comfortable in mind and this conditions was reflected in his physical being. He had dined early because there was nothing else to do. and now he found the paper dull and the books which, in Other times, were his favorites now actually boring him. He did net feel Hkje dressing and going to the theater—all plays were of love; of love : that ended happily, and therefore they ■ were not true to life. Look at own ' -siperiesce! Just because he h.d told | Lena CkWtcn that her nejrest fall i dress made her look ten years older, | there had been a quarrel and for the fifth time fehe had given .back the ring and had burst into tears There was a® longer any novelty in receiving his ring back,; and her tears" were always ua accompaniment to the ; ceremony. Before he had always protested his penitence! befcre the first round tear —

He had slipped the ring into his pcclrot and had told her that if she wanted it again she could . ask lor it, as various unpleasant things would happen to him before he would make any more overtures. So matters had stood for more than three weeks. Dick told himself that Lena would never be the first to speak, and he also tried miserably to convince himself that it would be insane to hu«nr her by abasing himself again. He expfafaed to himself that he was forever apologizing —which was very true —and he neglected to add that always the fault was his —which was equally the truth. Mure than once, despite this new determination, he had been tempted to call up. lie had even taken up the receiver of the telephone to get a connection, but the voice of the operator who served the switchboard of the apartment house had broken the charm, and he had muttered something about having changed his mind and had replaced the receiver on the fecok. Now he rose from his chair and approached the telephone. The shiny black box held interesting possibilities. In five minutes he could gain speech with Lena without going out Into the rain. In five minutes he could set at rest all doubts and worries—or in five minutes he could call Kenny Harmer over to play poker. He knew that Belding was in and they could make it a three-handed I3tne and ignore the rain and lovers’ quarrels. He raised the receiver from the frock and gave Harmer’s number. In ■ moment a feminine voice answered zsd Doring started. He had never retired before how much like Lena Clayton, Lina Harmer, Ben’s sister, spoke. Funny 4hat they should both be named Lena and both ■ .should speak alike. That you. Lena?" he called. “This fit Dick, Dick Doring.” “Dtcky. you darling,” came in ferwjt tones over the wire, nearly causDoring to drop the receiver, ”1 kacw that you would be the first to

“I say! Who is this?" Doring. “It’s Lena, of course,” came the reply. “Lena Clayton, since you seem to know so many Lenas. Whom did you think it was?” "Lina Harmer,” explained Doring promptly. "Her name is Caroline,” cried the one at the wire. “Benny calk her Lina, you know, though you girls call her Carrie." “That’s too thin, Dickie,” came in mocking tones. “The Horners’ number is in the South exchange. This is "Main. You couldn’t have made such a mistake, neither could central. You called me up and' youi" nerve failed you.” “It’s no such thing,” declared Doring hotly. “1 called Benny up to invite him over to play poker. I gave the number distinctly. Anyway,” he added triumphantly, “you spoke first.” “What a fibber!” came in shocked tones. "Why, you called me up.” “But you spoke first,” he insisted. “You said ‘Hello.’ ” “Os course I did,” admitted Lena, “but you spoke first when you called my number.” “I didn’t call your number,” insisted Doring. “I tell you I was trying to get Benny Harmer over to play poker.” ■ “And so you called me up,” she retorted. “Did you decide to change ' the game to —hearts?” “It is a pretty good game on a lone- ; some night like this,” said Doring. “If you’ll admit that you spoke first I’ll come over.” “Iwon’t do any such thing. How do you know that I want to have you over here?” "Don’t you?” pleadingly. “That’s telling,” teased Lena. “Why don’t you ask if you can come and find out?” “Because I said I was going to wait and make you speak first,” he explained. “Os course, now that you did speak first, I don’t mind telling you that I saw' you yesterday in the new dress and you look stunning.” “Do you really think so?” asked the girl. “It’s an awfully pretty dress and it makes me look five years younger.” “An error of fifteen years all told,” declared Doring; “but you haven’t asked me over yet.” "You haven't asked to come, and you can’t come until you admit that you called up and that’s speaking first.” ‘.’Let’s call it a tie.” he suggested. “I didn’t call you, you didn’t call, so w r e neither of us spoke first.” “If you didn't call me, then ring off, ■ and you can get the wire you wanted. , I’ll hang up the receiver.” “Don't do that.” pleaded Doring. “I i guess—well, I didn’t call up, but I’ll ; say I did. I guess I wanted to and — . well —I spoke first. Now may I come I over please?” “If you will be a very good and po- ■ lite little boy, perhaps I’ll let you come ! and —and make up.” “What was that pause between the ! ‘ands?’” demanded Doring. “Was it kiss and make up?” “Suppose you come over and find out,” came the tormenting suggestion “I’ll be right over,” promised Doring as he hung up the receiver, and rushed over to the closet where his storm coat hung. The boy on duty at the switch board ’coked up as Doring pased before the desk. “What was that number I called a little while ago?” he asked. "You called 1126 South, but I guess I done give you that number in main you always calls up,” announced the youth, “I’m sorry I made a mistake, Mr. Doring. “I'm not,” announced Doling as he passed over a bill. “You got the right number, even if it was wrong.” Twins Made Difficulty. . ■ In the early days of the reign ol the late King Leopold of Belgium, a seventh son Was born to a Brussels woman, and when the king heard of it and was told that the boy was the seventh successive one, and that nc girl had ocme to the family, he asked j to be the baby’s godfather.. Ever since then every seventh son born in Brussels has had the same honor, and the mothers have received gifts in keeping with their station in life. King Albert, in carrying out the old usage a short time ago, had some difficulty because the seventh son was, twins He could not stand for both boys, be cause that would give the family twe Alberts. The remedy was found by Queen Elizabeth, who suggested that her little son. the Duke of Brabant be the godfather of the eighth boy, who consequently received the name of Leopold. Child in Forgotten Grave. A touching little incident occurred at Santa Barbara, Cal., the other day when laborers excavating in an avenue uncovered the forgotten grave of a little child. Three feet under the public highway-, unmarked by headstone cr monument, a tiny coffin, bearing a silver name plate with this inscription: “Our Darling," stopped the picks and shovels of men digging a trench for a gas main. There was nothing to indicate the identity of the dead child. The condition of casket and body indicates that it has been in the grave for at least fifteen years.

Care of the Dairy Sire By P. H. CRANE, Dairy Department, Purdue Experiment Station Purdue University Agricultural Extension

/ I *\ I tag?*? ■: 11111 ITMt nnmWMMjR I ■■; =>> ' ■■■ '[ Bull Pen and Shed, Purdue Dairy Herd.

The care of the dairy sire is one that has received considerable attention, but in spite of this fact, the half of the herd embodied in the herd bull, is very frequently given too little or improper care. ; t - In many herds will be found bulls that are kept continually in a box stall, where they receive but little exercise, see ether members of the herd but seldom, and too often receive feed and water very Irregularly. Such conditions are not conductive to health and good service. Animals under such conditions often become over fat, slow in service, and frequently cress. The herd bull must be cared for in a manner that will keep him in good health, and make him a sure and quick breeder. The question that should be considered, after knowing what is desired, is, how can these conditions be brought about with least expense and labor? There are a great number of different methods of caring for bulls that give verj’ good results, such as keeping the bull tied in a stall along with the remainder of the herd, giving him a chance for exercise every day either

Free Seed Testing for Indiana Farmers and Seed Growers By G. M. FRIER Agricultural Extension Department Alfalfa seed should be not less than 98 per cent. pure. Not less than 97 per cent, of the seed should be viable. Seed, however, which is 98 per cent, pure may contain hundreds of noxious weed seeds per pound of alfalfa, or, the other two per cent, may be mainly inert matter of which practically all seed carries a greater or less amount. Dodder is a common Impurity in alfalfa seed. Alfalfa containing Dodder should not be used. There are a score or more of other noxious weed seed impurities which if scattered over the land in alfalfa or other crop seed mean disappointment and loss instead of a good stand Good Seed of Alfalfa. and a large crop. Several other factors contribute toward success or failure in alfalfa growing, but the matter of securing a high class seed is one of the most important. Very close examination of seed with a small Demonstration Orchards. The demonstration orchards of the horticultural department are proving more than a success. The work has been carried on in seven different representative orchards ranging in size from four to forty acres. All operation in these orchards are personally superintended, by the department, so that exact data are kept on all spraying, pruning, fertilizing, cultivating and harvesting operations. In every cft-chard one row trees is left uncared for, so that comparisons may be drawn/ When the fruit is ripe in the fall a meeting is advertised and the farmers ar.d fruit growers of the vicinity meet in the orchard and hear a discussion of the methods of handling, and see 'he results of the work. The demonstrations have shown that the value of the average orchard will fie increased from 85 to 95 per cent. wh'‘ , a handled as well as possible under average farm conditions, and that this Increase may be realized at a cost of fifteen or twenty cents per tree. Good Strawberry Crcp. The horticultural department has just finished harvesting the strawberry crop. There are 124 varieties of berries in the variety test experiments that have produced a very good crop despite the dry weather. The crop is much better than that reported by commercial growers in the ricinity, because of the more carefui cultivation given.

in a lot alone, with other bulls, or by snapping a rope from his ring to a ring on a wire a few feet above him. Another good method is to have a box stall built so that the bull can see the other animals of the herd and in addition to such quarters, it is well that he have opportunity for more tx ercise than is possible in a box stall All of these methods require a little more work than is always necessary. An excellent method is one now used in connection with the Purdu< experiment station herd. This methou allows all the bulls to run together in a bull pen connected with a shed that is tight on three sides and open on the south. It should be dry and have stalls, in order that the bulls may be shut up when the cows art taken into the pen to be bred. The above illustration shows a view or the pen and shed where the bulls of the Purdue Dairy Herd stay the year around. A water tank in the pen sup plies the water and the bulls receive their feed through small doors in the north side of the shed. Under these conditions the bulls are kept in good breeding condition and are quick and sure in service.

magnifying glass together with the making of germination tests before buying are indispensable if one would be sure of getting good seed. The United States Department oi Agriculture in conjunction with the Agricultural Extension Department of Purdue university maintains a seed Impcrted Screenings Sold as Alfalfa Seed. testing laboratory for Indiana farm ers and seed dealers. Before pur chasing your supply of seed, procure samples representative of the seed offered. A sample should consist of two or three tablespoonfuls of seed. Place distinguishing marks such as a number or a letter on each sample and send in to the laboratory. Reports as to per eent. pure seed, per cent, .of inert matter, common names and amount of each weed seed impurity as well as the per cent, of seed that will germinate will be promptly furnished. , Many failures in attempts to. establish alfalfa fields are due wholly or largely to poor seed. Alfalfa seed sold in Indiana Varies much in quality. Why not send samAs to the seed laboratory to be tested before buying. Address all samples, Branch Seed Laboratory, Purdue University, LaFayette, Ind. Scoring Tested Cows. Prof. O. C. Cunningham of the dairy department of Ohio State university, scored the tested cows of the Purdue experiment station. He scored Purdue’s Evening Primrose at 87; Purdue’s Golden Day at 86%, and Ida’s Morn 2d at 84. Their sire, Gorgeous Boy, was also given a score of 89. Work Bearing Fruit. Manufacturers of spray pumps and spray materials report that their Indiana business is greater than ever before. The increase is due largely to the success of the horticultural department in the orchard demonstration work over the state. Feature of County Fairs. The Purdue county fair exhibit will be one of the features of more than 20 Indiana county fairs during the late summer and fall. The exhibit is educational throughout, and is worthy of the closest study and attention. Plants Eaten by Sheep. Nearly all plants at some period of their growth seem palatable and are freely eaten by sheep. No domestic or wild animal is capable of subsisting on more kinds of food. Butter Greatly Improved. The Purdue creamery is now grad Ing its cream on the basis of quality. As a result of this grading the qual ity of Purdue butter has been greatly imoroved.

AH 0 DDENDDWMENT Philanthropist Gives Kansas College a Cemetery In Time This Unique Gift Is Expected to Net Mor r e Than One Million Dollars to Beneficiaries. Topeka, Kan.—Nearly all colleges have large endowments of money, securities and real estate given by friends and by people interested in the cause of education. The funds are all invested in bonds, stocks and real estate, which do exceptionally well if they return more than five or six pei cent, on the investment. Many re ligious organizations have similar endowments. But Washburn college ol Topeka and the Topeka Young Men’s and Young Women’s Christian as* sociations have one of the most novel endowments in the country. It is a cemetery and as far as known this is the only college in the United States which numbers among Its chief assets a share in the profits of a cemetery. Many churches have cemeteries, but the Topeka Y. W. C. A. ahd Y. M. C. A. are believed to be the only nonsectarian religious organizations with an endowment of this kind. A. B. Whiting, a Topeka merchant, decided to leave a permanent endowment to the two Topeka institutions. He selected $25,000 as the beginning of his endowment and then began casting about for some plan of investment which would actually net the greatest income to the three institutions to which he desired to contribuate. He investigated all kinds of business ventures, bond and stock returns and real estate investments and finally decided upon a cemetery as the best possible investment for the college and Christian associations. His investment of the modest endowment is expected to return to the college and the two young people’s associations considerably more than a million dollars before the sources of revenue from the sale of lots in the cemetery are cut off. Mr. Whiting bought the Mount Hope cemetery grounds, 160 acres, one and one-half miles west of Topeka. The land alone cost |16,000 and left $9,000 j [O i J|HlI I I o Wri? Cemetery Entrance and Donor. to begin the improvement work. This was four years ago and the permanent Improvement work of the cemetery has been going on ever since and wnl continue forever. The property has been deeded to a board of trustees, of which Mr. Whiting is president and also general superintendent of the cemetery. This board has been incorporated for 1,000 years and it is bound to maintain the cemetery forever. No grave can ever be neglected, as under the terms of the charter the board is compelled to set aside a certain part of its revenue to go into a perpetual care fund, the interest on this fund being sufficient to care for the property. The college and the Christian associations receive tw'o-thirds of the entire sum obtained from the sale., nf lots in the cemetery, and they chn use the money for any purpose they decide. No one except the actual workers in the. cemetery receive a salary and no dividends except to the college and Christian associations are declared. The college receives about one half of the total amount received from the sale of lots. The Young Women’s Christian association receives the next largest share and the Y. M. C. A. the next division. AU the rest of the money from/the sale of lots and the amount received for opening graves and caring for lots goes Into the perpetual care fund of the cemetery. Dog Saves Boy From Cow. Rushville. Ind. —A shepherd dog that has been for several years the companion of John McKibben’s son saved the life of the boy by holding a cow that had attacked him until McKibben went to the rescue. The cow had knocked the ,boy down several times and was stamping him with its front feet when the dog interfered, grabbing the cow by the nose and holding it. Elbert Hubbard Loses Locks.

50,000 NEEDED TO HARVEST WESTERN CANADA’S CROP Will Take 160,000 Altogether to Take Care of Yield of Prairie Provinces. One hundred and sixty-two thousand j farm hands will be required this year ' to harvest the grain crops of ManiI toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Os > this number the local help, will proI vide about 112,000, which will leave : about 50.000 extra farm hands. There . Is, therefore, a great demand for this : class of laborers in all parts of West--1 ern Canada. In order to meet the re--1 quirements it has been arranged to grant very low railway rates from all boundary points reached by Canadian railways. In order to secure these rates it will be necessary for you to i call on one of the following authorized I agents of the Canadian government: | M. V. Mclnnes, 176 Jefferson Avenue, i Detroit, Michigan; C. A. Laurier, Mari quette, Michigan; J. S. Crawford, [Syracuse, N. Y.; Thos. Hetherington, Room 202, 73 Tremont Street, Boston, Mass.; 11. M. Williams, 413 Gardner Bldg., Toledo, Ohio; Geo. Aird, 216 Traction-Terminal Bldg., Indianapolis, : Indiana; C. J. Broughton, Room 412 I Merchants’ Loan & Trust Bldg., Chi- ' cage, Ill.; Geo. A. Hall, 2nd Floor, 125 | Second Street, Milwaukee, Wis.; E. i T. Holmes, 315 Jackson Street, St. ; Paul, Minn.; Chas. Pilling, Clifford Block. Grand Forks, N. D.; J. M. Maci Lachlan, Box 197, Watertown, S. D.; i W. V. Bennett, Room 4, Bee Bldg., ' Omaha, Neb.; W. H. Rogers, 125 West I 9th Street, Kansas <City, Mo.; Benj. Davies, Room 6, Durin Block, Great Falls, Montana; J. B. Carbonneau, Jr., 217 Main Street, Biddeford, Me.; J. N. Grieve, Auditorium Building, Spokane, Wash. This will give to intending harvest laborers a splendid opportunity to look over the magnificent wheat fields of Western Canada and will give them the best evidence that can be secured of the splendid character of that country from the farmer’s standpoint. There will be at least 200.000,000 bushels of wheat harvested within the area of the three provinces above named this year and it is expected that the yield will run from 15 to 25 bushels per acre. Many farmers, this : year, will net, as a result of their , labors, as much as $8 to $lO per acre and many of them will deposit as profits as much as SB,OOO to SIO,OOO. The wide publicity that has been given to the excellent crop that is being raised iji central Alberta and southern Alberta, central Saskatchewan and southern Saskatchewan, and also in Manitoba, will increase the price of lands in these three provinces from S 3 to $5 per acre ar.d the man who was fortunate enough to secure lands at from sl2 to S2O per acre will have reason for gratification that he exercised sufficient forethought to invests while the man who was fortunate enough to secure a homestead of 160 acres free will also have a greater reason to feel pleased. Notwithstanding the great addition to .-the acreage this year over last and ffie large crop that will be ready for i harvest there is no reason to become alarmed that the harvest will not be reaped successfully. There will be a great demand for these low rates dur- ! ing the next couple of months; be ■ sure to make your application to any . of the agents above mentioned that J may be in your territory at as earlv i a date as possible. Harvesting will ■ commence about the 25th of July and ‘ continue for five or six weeks, when ■ threshing will begin and there will be : plenty of work until November. Too Dangerous. In the struggling days at Tuskegee, Booker T. Washington found that he would have to use an old chicken house tor a schoolroom. • “Uncle,” he said to an old colored man, “1 want you to come down at nine o’clock tomorrow morning and help me clean out a henhouse.” “Law now; Mr. Washington,” the old man expostulated, “jA()u-aIl don’t want to begin cleanin’ out no henhouse roun’ yere in de day time.” — Success Magazine. Relief for the Laundress. Under old-fashioned methods launi dry work was a severe burden. Rub, rub, rub and scrub, scrub, scrub on a wash-board till the back ached, the limbs were weary and the hands became red and rough. There is no need of going thrpugh this ordeal today, because Hewitt’s Easy Task soap lightens this work fully one-half and makes it much less disagreeable. Just buy two cakes for ten cents, and if the first is not satisfactory return the other and get your full money back. Grandfather’s Fault.
