©he Zrbuhm ißernrh VOLUME XIII C. B. Hodl* THIS, THAT AND THE OTHER BV MRS. THEO. & DAVIS One night last week I had a great time looking over two new seed catalogs. But after a while it seemed that something was wrong with them and I sat and studied over it until I realized that neither offers mustard seed. You see, they are Northern firms and probably don’t know how good mustard is for Bpring greens. Those misguided Yankees eat spinach instead. Just any day now it will be all right for us to go out and begin pruning the fruit trees. Only it might be well to choose a day when our neighbor doesn’t want to use his shears himself. Plum trees are not bad except for thorns. About all you have to do to them is to clip off the water sprouts and see that no limbs are left so that they rub together when the wind blows and skin each other —or themselves. And most plum trees shape up nicely, though dam sons do at times get crooked no tions and act accordingly. But when it comes to pruning ap ple trees I’m willing to stand back and watch the men work, though I do give them the benefit of a good deal of advice without waiting to be asked. This appears to supply them extra vigor for sawing and snipping. Queer how hard it Is for two to agree exactly as to how much pruning should be done to a tree. When my husband starts out with energy and enthusiasm the longhandled pruning shears I tremble for any tree that stands in his course, and fear he may leave only a stump, while he feels that I don’t know one thing about it and that woman’s place right then is in the home—with shades down. And it doesn’t do one bit of good for me to recite: “Woodman, spare that tree.” I can’t protect it. His eyes get a wild, fanatic gleam and he saws wood and says things. Peach trees are so short-lived these times that I fear they may be turning to annuals. Why, I can re members when a peach tre was looked upon as a permanent posses sion. What has gotten into them’ Maybe they get tired of being prun ed so severely in our efforts to se cure finer fruit. And can. anyone tell me how to keep a cat from sharpening her claws on a young tree? We have a nice young peach tree that has been damaged ir this way until it has begun to exude that sticky gum that means disease. I believe I’ll try putting ftne-meshed wire around it, not too close to its trunk. We’ve not been able to do any thing here with any cherries ex cept the sour kinds. The others get some kind of root sickness that al ways ends in a slow death, though they start out beautifully at first. Prom some sourse I gathered the opinion that cherry trees have roots that go specially deep Into the ground and that they must not strike water if they are to thrive. That may be the reason for their doing best in the mountains or hills Another disappointing experi ment here was with the currants that northern catalogs praise so highly. Climate again.

People Believe In Advertising “It pays to advertise.” An advertising specialist, Chas. A. Stech, has made a canvass of 5,000 persons in 21 states and 122 occupations. Here is what he ' found: Eighty-five per cent believe 1 newspaper advertisements are more reliable than men elected to public office. Eightv-eight per cent said they believed the statements in news papers more reliable than those of salesmen. The salesmen themselves agreed that this was true. When asked if they were misled In their beliefs and purchases by such advertisements, 59 per cent said “no”, 11 per cent said “rarely” 26 per cent said “occasionally” and 4 per cent said “frequently”. Eightv-five per cent said they believed a concern that spent mon ey to advertise would keep its pro duct more nearly up to standard, and 60 per cent said advertisements made newspapers more interesting.

Verbatim. A BIRTHDAY PARTY (By David Sink, the hostess’s papa in The Lexington Dispatch,)- Last Wednesday afternoon little Jane Kirksey Sink celebrated her second birthday by inviting a num ber of friends to a party at her home on Martin Street. The little hostess, dressed in A charming rump-length Singer crea tion of yellow cotton from beneath which peeped a pair of ruffled panties, met each little guest at the door with a graceful < gfcre of dis- ' dain and an aloof air of hostility:•' After considerable persuasion, sbe- ! was moved to admit them, but, it appeared, in deep doubt of their moral turpitude. The guests reluctantly presented attractive birthday present* which were joyfully snatched and re snatched. Tears on the part of the givers and the recipient were as suaged by promises of spankings or candy. There followed a delightful hour of play, during which Miss Sink charmingly collected one toy after another, despite wails of protest. She at times appeared distrssacd as her short and chubby arms would be filled yet there remained other toys with which her guests might play. However, her delightful personality asserted itself and she determinedly “carried on”, as the phrase goes. Following the social hour, mothers and nurses felt that it was time to “eat and drink for tomorrow we may die” and some of them hoping they would, agreed that refresh ment would be welcomed; to be perfectly truthful, were even neces sary. 1 The hostess’ mother then invited the guests into the dining room where on the table had been placed a beautiful birthday eake holding two lighted candles in a depression in the center of the cake. The de pression was occasioned when the hostess had scooped out a handful during the icing process in the making of the cake. On her sixth attemp, Miss Sink was successful in extinguishing the flame of the second candle. Some of the tsoeWe may have been that she used the ‘in” method as well a* the “obt” in expelling her breath. The cake and the ice cream were consumed amid as tending harmony as spoons were applied with great rapidity. There was, perhaps, a mHe of sus picion that each aspired to finish his or hers first in order to dip into another’s, but this eaepfcioa is doubtless unfounded. As the hour for departure ap proached, each guest collected the gift he or she had brought under the impression that K had been only a loan. The disHhisionasent process was somewhat painful brt very thorough. Several thought K would be nice to spend the week end or at least the night, and hem again they came upon the hard school of experience. Before departing, however, ell joined in singing “Happy Birthday to Tea” in which tile Bttie hosts- Wl| mil 711 pRInC ul 101 l Ilf MMVK jd
