After examining it they found it

It has many uses as medicine.
Stomach ache, fever, gout, dropsy
and headache were relieved by the
Peony prescription.
Peony root is good for food. The
seed were used for pepper by the
poor people.
Plant peonies now. They require
lots of cultivation.
For a Thanksgiving thought we
need nothing any better than one
of our old Hymns to inspire us. It
is one of gratitude.

THE EARTH
For the beauty of the earth. For
the glory of the skies.

For the beauty of each hour of the
day and of the night.
Hill and vale, and tree and
flower, sun and moon, and star
and light;
Lord of all to Thee we raise this
our hymn of grateful praise.
For the joy of ear and eye, for the
heart and mind’s delight;
For the mystic harmony
linking sense to sound and
sight;
Lord of all, to 'Thee we raise this
our hymn of grateful praise.
For the joy of human love, brother,
sister, parent and child.
Friends on earth, and friends
above; for all gentle thoughts
and mild;
Lord of «dl, to Thee we raise this
our hymn of grateful praise^,,
Amen.
REALISMI
Ogden, Utah — Demonstrating
how to make a fire by friction, two
science teachers, George Jackson
and Robert Prout, tAvirled a stick
inside a can containing cedar bark.
The pungent smoke that resulted
was a little too much for students
in a class at the junior high school.
They turned in a fire alarm, and
the experiment was moved outside.

There is no riddle to surpass
the mystery of growing grass,
which bravely thrusts its tender
stalk through tiny cracks along
the walk; and thrives in crannies
of the wall and in the flower beds
grows tall; and grows and grows
’til summer’s gone, in everything
except the lawn (Curtis Heath).
How true, but I do not intend
to give up, neither should you. If
you are fortunate enough to have
a nice winter lawn in the making,
keep the leaves raked off sd that
Oie tender grass will not be smoth
ered.
I raked my lawn yesterday as
clean as the kitchen drain board.
But today? You guessed it. Rain
and wind last night plastered ev
erything again, so I will be back
with the leaf' broo-m as soon as
the sun dries things out a bit.
“I have several ‘black heart’
cherry trees which have never
borne fruit. Can you tell me what
I can do to make them bear?” The
black heart is a sweet cherry and
all sweet cherry varieties which
have been tested, are self-unfruit
ful. That is, they will not set a
crop of fruit with their own pol
len.
We also have varieties which
produce viable pollen (pollen
grains that will germinate and
grow), but are cross-unfruitful, or
cross-incompatible.
So you see that the sex life of
the sweet cherry is quite compli
cated. There are many other, in
teresting phases of this problem,
but perhaps I have confused you
already and should give this fel
low a possible solution.
I would recommend that he plant
either the Black R^ublican or the
Deacon variety with his “black
heart” trees. Both of these varie
ties have proved to be good pollen-
izers. Had he kpown about this, he
could have made provisions for
cross pollination when his trees
were planted. As it is, he will have
to wait until the pollenizers bloom.
In the mountains, where sweet
cherries are found in abundance,
it is rare to find a imn-fruitful
combination. The man who wrote
lives in a section of the state
where sweet cherries are not com
monly grown.

Even though David Walters is a
composer and has written a text
book, in addition to being the
director of the New Bern High
school band, he has to take a back
seat musically when his three year
old son, Timothy, is around.
We didn’t have occasion to know
David during ins diaper days, but
we rather suspect that he ^dn’t
show half the aptitude that Timo
thy is displaying at this tender
age.
While other moppets are playing
with toys or listening with rapt in
terest to simple nursery rhymes,
the youngest member of the Wal
ters household spends his waking
hours listening to Hi-Fi.
This kid loves everything tune
ful, ahd, belive it or not, hums thp
Triumphal March from Aida with
out missing a single notp. Right
now he is intrigued by one of the
:mnier songs of the day— “Sevpn
Little Girls”—but for regular en
joyment he prefers something
from “My Fair Lady.”
He never has cared particularly
for fairy tales and nursery
rhymes, although his parents have
made it a point to read them to
him in keeping with the usual
routine mapped out for children.
Naturally, David and bis charm
ing wife are tickled pink over
Timothy’s great love fpr music.
They haven’t pushed him in this
respect, but you can rest assured
that they’ve given him the green
light and permitted him to go full
speed ahead.
Timothy’s eight year old brother,
Jo, likes to sing, but has exhibited
little interest in music other than
that. He may develop the phobia
later on, of course, but up until
now he can take the stuff or leave
it.
Marda, their six-year-old sister,
isn’t a Hi-Fi enthusiast either,
However, she picks out tunes on
the piaqo quite easily and may
turn out to be actually more talent
ed than Timothy. Joe probably
won’t, since he has already dis
carded the’ cornet his father
bought him.
