wr ?. - ‘ 1 HoweAbout®r ED HOWE : 11 <9«pyri«ht by The Bell Syndicate. Inc.i Ever since learnlng’rio read. I nave regularly encountered the name of Charles Lamb. Ido not like anything he has written, or any Incident th his history; probably my dislike of the man Is a result of seeing him exploited so much. ... I do not recall hearing anyone mention Charles Lamb In conversation; newspapffir writers usually let him alone, but the maga—xines are forever exhibiting him. Boston Is as famous for Charles Lamb as It is for baked beans; both bats dishes. Probably you have observed that jrou tire of the gossip of your town. Where I live we have gossip five and ten years old. and I have become so tired of It that 1 almost scream when the subject comes up. Probably women are more Interested In it than men. and better satisfied with its trifling det a, la. I was lately sitting on a porch with four women, ami their prattle was more tiresome than silence would have been. Why are there so many. Impudent idle, dishonest, worthless, disturbing jMH»ple? IWause they get away with lt J Sv easily. . You make a mistake If you do ijot promptly "call down'* the dead beat, the loafer, the liar, the impolite, the dishonest To firmly rebuke all such is the most effective way an honest private citizen bus' of preaching. ' ■ ; ♦? . There Is a new trouble In the world: Complailit Is made that there are more educated^. people than can be supported. The preliminary wall comes from Bulgaria, and no doubt will spread. ■ • In a great majority <£f cases the desire to be educated Is a desire to escajw work. The educated wish tn l»e professors, politicians, preachers, lawyers, doctors. entertainers, and exploit rhe workers In Bulgaria there Is such a rush for education that too few are left to 'cultivate the fields and work In factories. ’frhe plain people are complaining and may revolt. are lately almost as many patent practitioners as there are patent medicines. Every school, every college. Is turning out some kind of new preifeesor to collect another unnecessary tax. and further sarlly harden teal workers. There Is a gent in nearly every public school teaching athletics, learned as a part of his education. Another gent or madam teaches music, which becomes Jazz rendered on mandolins and saxophones. A g- k! many tn this country are also of ths- opinion thut there Is too much education: If a Bulgarian rebel will retire to this country with his doctrine, he will gatn quite r a follow-. Ing. • H — George Bernard Shaw once wrote: “If you only knew al) the things I think and dare not say-T . . , Friederich Neitische dared write them. This man thought nothing he didn't write, and whatever he wrote was cast in as mean and vicious form as bls terribly clever brain could suggest. Angry and drunken men are said to speak the truth. Nettzscha •poke, the truth when as good-natured and sober ns he ever Nsame. Anyone mar read him and find out what Is behlhd the veneer of civilization. And th|s terrible old savage was educated. He liver! all his life tn the university atmosphere; none of ths professors had more learning, and «none knew as much about human nature. With it all he had ability to write so clearly, forcefully and wittily that bls enemies could not peacefully laugh at him, as so many writers are treated; they rushed for their ink 'horns and goose quills, and smote him so lustily that he became one of the most famous of men. * > ~....., It Is not surpris-ng that ya woman hates the men. From the time she is a little girt, the subject is discussed before‘her: not only by women, but man* themselves are always issuing warnings figfetnat each other. Likewise ahe hears nothing but compliments for women: h«»w they are imposed on by men; bo* they are patient, and have ideal* the men never fulfill; bow men eat like pigs, smoke too much, run around too much, sleep too late, idle too touch, and are stingy with their money- ... The wonder la that a girl, after reaching seventeen or eighteen, will associate with men. . . If she ever learns that women. too, have faults, she must learn it for herself: from the meanness of other women-—the men never say anything kb° at (t - •—- A man I know was made 'a fool of In a courthouse, and greatly wronged. He was sued for damages, on ftiuwy pretext, and a lawyer who was to get half tn case of recovery, was very unfair and insulting in examining the defendant. boldly making charges against him not in the evidence. The suit was thrown out of court, and now the defendant says he will sue the offending lawyer for damages, 1 think such an action might hold, as the lawyer acted outrageously. I even believe some Judges might Be Impeached for actions cm the bench. Many judges become old grandmothers. almost believe they own the courthouse, and act in outrageous fashion.

Much Harm Done to Winter Wheat Losses Nearly as Heavy as Caused by All Other Diseases. (Prepares W ths Untted State* nreartmwrt of Aartcuiture. > Winter Injury to wheat causes near-, ly as heavy losses to that crop, as do all wheat .diseases combined, says the United States Department of Agriculture. The acreage of winter wheat annually abandoned, largely because of winter-kililngt averaged l>9 percent during the 23-year period from 1901 to 1922, inclusive, according to Department Circular No. 378. “Compara tive Hardiness of Winter-Wheat Y ari eties.” just issued by the department During the 14-year period from 1905 to 1922, Inclusive, frosts or freezing caused an average loss of 3.5 pe> cent of the wheat crop and plant diseases 3.9 per cent, according to croj correspondents of , the department. With a view to developing winter wheat varieties of greater hardiness. Investigations were conducted ,at -»* experiment stations in the United States and Canada during one or more as the six years from 1920 to 1925. inclusive. In the experiments 45 winter wheat varieties and strains were grown in uniform nurseries. Data as to comparative hardiness thow That the varieties Mlnhardl. Buffum No. 17. Mlnturkl and Odessa are considerably more cold resistant thsin the standard used as a check Padui. Turkey (Minn. No 1488), and ileiooi.oja are somewhat more hardy than Kharkof. Kanred and Nebraska No. CO are probably slightly hardier than Kharkoff. Nebraska No. 28 and Blackhull are much . less winter hardy than Kharkof. The results obtained In these experiments are being used as a basis for breeding wheats to combine winter hardiness with other good qualities. A copy of the circular may be obtained free, as long as the supply lasts, by writing to the United States Department of Agriculture. Washington. D. C. One Work Horse Needed to Care for 35 Acres How many acres will one horse take care of and how many horses are needed on a 320-acre fannl Those are questions which are now being studied by economists at the Kansas State Agricultural college, re ports I; N. Chapman. “We have generally believed." Chapman says, "that one work horse is required for each 25 to 83 crop' acres where 'no tractor Is treed, but that on farms having a tractor one work horse is needed for 43 to 55 crop acres. Farmer re-operatora working in conjunction with the department of economics at the college have reported from various counties the number of horses used per farm and the number of crop acres per work horse. In Lincoln county 14 farmer coojre.rr.tora reported one work horse to 34 crop acres Six of the- farmers own tractors. In Dickinson county eight re-opera tors reports one work horse for every 33 acres and five of the farmers own tractors. Washington county with 30 farmers reported showing an average of M' crop acres per work horse and only four tractors. Morris county with 32 farmers reporting shows an average of 24 crop acres per work horse with three farm ere using tractors. Chicks Offer Splendid Market for Extra Milk Baby chicks offer a splendid market for milk. They make a more steady growth and keep to better condition on milk than on any other drink. It Is better tn give the milk sour. The Ise tic add of the milk la a foe to white diarrhea.; it is tonic in Its effects Altax the chicks like It better than the eweet. separated' milk. The sweet milk has the disadvantage also of gtu Ing the eyes shut if the chicks dk 1 in too deep. The breeders who dtp each tiny beak in eour milk as they take the chicks from the Incubator are not offertog feed so much as introducing tactic acid, and sweet milk dueanT an swerjhis purpose Applying Spray The delayed dormant spray Is prltnartiy a control for scale insects, but aphids or plant lice are also con trolled If gpplted at the proper time. OU sprays have come into wide WM In. delayed dormant spray because oil Is especially effective in controlling scale and Is pleasant to apply. OU sprays can be prepared successfully by growers, but unless the grower has S considerable number of fruit trees he will probably find prepared oil sprays now on the market a great convenience. Raising Orphan Lamb If the orphan lamb cannot be given to another ewe. it can generally be raised satisfactorily on a bottle. Os course It is better to get another ewe to adopt the lamb if possible. When necessary to raise' a iamb on a bottle. It will need to be fed several times a day at first. The number of feedings can be reduced until, by the time the lamb Is six weeks old, three or four times a day will be sufficient.' A iamb creep should be provided where some ground grain can be kept for the lambs. They will soon learn, to eat grain and this will help a great deal In getting faster growth. Pullets for Breeders Ait|>ough ‘ reeding from pullets Is not generally recommended, frequently very good chicks can be obtained from them. On an average old hens will probably give thriftier chicks but pullets which bare not been greatly forced for egg production should also give very satisfactory results. If pullets are used, only the best matured laying good-abed eggs should b< - '

BotanUtg Are Unable to Classify Shamrock The shamrock, popularly accepted as the* national emblem of Ireland, and worn the world over on St. Patrick's day, will probably always remain a mystery and a puzzle to botanists. It cannot properly be called Ireland's national flower, because only the leaf is used as the symbol, and it Is not certain which of several flowers the leaf belongs to. The commonest statement Is that the shamrock is identical with ordinary white clover, but that it grows more luxuriantly in Ireland because of the moist and equable climate of the island and its generally favorable •oil. Another claim is made in favor of a yellow-flowered clover known outside of Ireland as the “n’onesuch,” A third plant that bears the old Irish name of “seamrog" is the wood sorrel or oxalls. This species is more nearly related to the violets than it is to the clover, but its leaves, like those of the clovers, are three-parted. At least one of the medieval Irish herbals, or books of medicinal plants, ascribes great curative virtues to the plant, which, unfortunately, are quite imaginary. The shamrock is not the only plant famous Ln antiquity whose modern , classification is in doubt. Ancient and medlneHt~rt>ee»inists identified their nHtnts and reckoned their relationships largely by meads of their leaves, so ■ that to the learned men of old times tn Ireland any tri-follate plant was a “seamrog” or shamrock. Modern botany .broke up this ancient classification by arranging plants according to their leaves, so that now we have several clover “shamrocks” an-t at lAast one oxalls "shamrock.” Just which of these it was whose leaf St. Patrick plucked in his fatuous theological dispute will probably never be known. Moonshine and Dishonesty Vodka and samogon. the peasants - ' moonshlne. are the chief cause of embezzlements, according to extensive data which a Novosibirsk correspondent says cover all Slt»eria. Gambling, chiefly lotto, comes next, and women who like presents are jhird. The re port covers 1,500 cases. State under takings were the losers in W per cent of the cases, co-operatives in 40 per cent, trade unions id 7 per cent and other organizations in 13 e per cent. The death benaity, which is provided for embezzlement, is frequently enforced, especially if a government Employee Is convicted. A new interpre tation of the code provides that the seriousness of the crime be in proper tlon to the organization's capital, a small peculation from a stnall concern evoking the extreme penalty. Communists are held more rigidly to account than are non-party members. Preferred to Die "A successful politician.'’ said Senator Guff, “has the persistency of Joe Blackburn. “When Joe was a rising young man he chanced to attend an execution. “The sheriff asked the condemned man If he had anything to say. “‘No.’ said the fellow. ‘No, I don't believe there's any remarks that— ’ “But here Joe Blackburn shouted: “ ‘Say, Jake. If you aia’t got nothing special to say. I wish you'd give me about fifteen minutes of your time, old man, so as to let me tell these good friends gathered here that I’m a candidate for their suffrage and to lay before them some reasons why—* “ ‘Wait!' said the < ondemned mMn. •Is that Blackburn's voice?’ “‘Yes, sure,' shouted the crowd. “1 thought so. Well, he can have my time. But go ahead and hang me first and let Joe talk afterward.’" Famous Letters Sold Letters written by Robert Burns, Charles Dlekens an<l Lord Byron werx among the autographed collection of the late Col. James H. Manning m Albany. N. recently sold at auction. However, none of the letters brought over SSOO. Byron’s letter was to Lady Blessington thanking* her for praise. The one from Coleridge complained of his Dickens* letter was to a theater manager about a Christmas story he believed had dramatic possibilities. The Burns letter, was to a friend introducing the bearer. It concluded: “I am tn a hurry, a d'run’d hurry; so take this •crawl. Why don’t you return me my collection of songs?” Game Farms There are IS2 game farms in opera tlon in New York state under license, from the conservation commission. Deer, pheasants, geese, ducks, quail and Hungarian partridge are among the species produced. AU game raised on these farms, when killed, is tagged for Identification under rules and regulations prescribed by the commission. A charge of 5 cents is made tor each tag used. The price of a license to operate a farm is 85 a year, and JLHO realised from sale of these Uceneas last year.
