’ The question is frequently asked
“How long can you let the same straw-
berry patch bear?” This question can
properly be answered only in an in-
direct way as it will depend entirely
upon conditions and the caret espec-
ially following harvest period
j in the first place on account of lack
of cutivation the ' strawberry patch
(very frequently dies out entirely in
k two or three years on account of
growth of grass and weeds and the
escape Jf the necessary moisture
Where the patch is merely culti-
vated after harvest without respect
to getting rid of the old plants and
leaving the new ones the patch us-
ually iplays out in two to three years
s There are two methods of renewing
a strawberry patch after harvest
The first and as a rule the most
commonly practiced is to bar off the
row mats after harvest that is to
cut the mat down to about six or
eight inches broad This may be
done with a turning plow disc culti-
vator or some other tool with a rolling
cutter After the row is bared off
the mat is hoed out removing the
grass and weeds and at the same time
cutting out the old and woody plants
Immediately after the hoeing the row
is cultivated and the dirt is thrown
back to the plants The subsequent
care consists of surface cultivation in
order to keep down grass and weeds
and at the same time conserve the
moisture This cultivation should he
continued until the fall rains begin
The second method consists of
barring off on one side so as to in-
clude the old plants in the middle
This will leave only the young plants
on one side In this way the plants
which arc left are new ones and on
new soil
Do not overlook renewing vour
strawberry patch if you have not al-
ready done so — D C Mooring Ex-

Thera are hundreds of thoueands ef this type of young men In the Philippines
They are to be the fAture rulers of the destinies of the island
' The Filipino has been much misrep-
resented In the United States This Is
largely because the Sunday supple-
ments have made a specialty of por-
traying the seml-naked non-Chrlstlan
hill tribes as “typical" Filipinos which
Is far from the truth
The total population of the Philip-
pines Is 10350640 of Which 9405272
are Christians and civilized and have
been so for 300 years possessing a cul-
ture and refinement that will compare
favorably with tbit of other countries
'The number of non-Chrlstlans Is 855-
3CS und only a small percentage of
them are uncivilized They are fast
becoming educated and will ultimate-
ly muke good citizens
Seventy per rent of the Inhabitants
of the Philippines over ten years of
age according to the last census are
literate This ip a higher percentage
of literncy than that of any Soutb
American country higher than that of
Spain and higher than that of any
of the New Republics of Europe whose
independence Is being guaranteed by
the Allies

NO ROOM FOR CRITICISM
Summer Goods at McGonville’s
In the city of London there are
hundreds of people unemployed — ive
million of them in Great Britain
Empty stomachs arc as numerous
as the leaves upon the trees
One section of London s gaunt am!
filled with misery Tncre is no work
no money and but liulc bread
In another section— the center of
aristocracy and fashion— gayety reigns
supreme Immense sums of money
are spent on the pleasures of a single
night It flows continually in the
production of social excitement
There is no want no hunger no
lack of bread there
But are we Americans in a position
to criticise England’s aristocracy for
its frivolity in the face of unemploy-
ment and misery ?
We arc not
Millions of people arc out of em-
oloymcnt in this country Our cities
warm with homes where the larders
art empty and little stomachs a-e
more so
Vet in Atlantic City a prize fight
is to he pulled off between an Amer-
ican and a Frenchman— between Car-
pentier and Dempsey
Men will journey tnvn every state
in the union to see that fight They
will pay from $lo to Iooo a scat to
see two men beat each other up
A broken nose smeared with blood
will elicit no feeling cf pity or con-
cern — only renewed howh of joy or
chagrin
There will be no empty stomachs
at that fight No little children cry-
ing for 'bread will witness that gory
contest of brutality
The money spent foi the privilege
of seeing that fight would furnish a
royal feast for all of the people in
the United States who now hunger
for bread
Instead it will not allay the suf-
ferings of one
No we are in position to criticise
the English or any other nation of
people so far as squandering our sub-
stance and neglect of our unemployed
are concerned

SHAPE THE MIND
Have you a child in your homer
Naturally its daily welfare is among
your first thoughts
But daily welfare is not sufficient
There is a tomorrow— a future — that
must be considered
The child of today will not always
be a child Some day it will be a
man or woman carrying the burdens
( that maturity entails
Children should be prepared for the
morrow before the morrow is here
i The mind that knows only the
things of today soon reverts to those
of yesterday
It has no future
It exists upon the present and
I dwells upon the past
' Its vision is limited to the things
it has seen and those that are set be-
fore it
It is capable of functioning but not
of progressing
It is the mind of the person who is
content to take life as it comes with
i little opportunity fori imjJrovetnent
'and less effort toward advancement
The daily welfare of a child is one
of great concern hut the shaping of
the mind for the future is one of in-
finitely more importance

THE SHAME OF IT
Unlimited sums for pleasure!
Nothing for humanity I
Thousands of rich men will pay
great sums for theprivilcge of seeing
the fight between Carpenticr and
I Dempsey
Hordes of people who can ill afford
the price of admission will also view
the battle of the pugilistic giants
But there are thousands of others
who will not see the “mill” — who could
not if they would They are men who
have fought in a greater battle with
ncfoler impulses and for a more wor-
thy cause They are the sick and the
crippled veterans of the world war-
young men who crossedthe seas and
gave of their blood and their man-
hood in the cause of home and coun-
try These helpless heroes are herded
in over crowded hospitals or farmej
out to other institutions where neither
the comfort or the food is what it
should be
Will these battered and emaciated
service men think of the coming fight
in their isolation and neglect? - ’
They will I
They will wonder why millions of
dollars can be spent on a single prize
fight by men who sidestep the ex-
penditure of a few dimes on those
who fought in a nobler cause
They have reason to wonder
