No, you hare to hang the thing on a wall never Intended In-tended for pictures anyhow, because be-cause that Is the only place where there Is room for It The closets naturally are filled with folding bridge tables, old magazines, cameras, cam-eras, score cards, empty suitcases, clothes and shoes. There certainly Is no room for anything on the tables or mantelpiece, except for those ash trays picked op In various vari-ous parts of the world, the bronze and Ivory elephants, crystal balls with figures In them and snow flakes which fly when the globes are shaken, cigarette boxes, and the few little . knlcknacks brought by friends from China, Japan, Paris, London, Mexico, Sweden and Atlantic Atlan-tic City, together with the cute little lit-tle carvings of the wounded lion we purchased In Lucerne, and the book ends from Florence. There Is also, to be sure, the iron gondola match safe from Venice, and the paperweight paper-weight from the Empire State tower. tow-er. And there they stay. There Is no attic to which they can progress. You could give those things away except for the fact that no charitable charit-able association would take them and you don't like to give them to anyone you know; what is the use of making enemies. You might, If you were In the country, pile them in some meadow, but there you would hare an attic, which would be the natural receptable. If you tried to pile them outside In the city, they probably would arrest you for littering the street, conspiracy conspir-acy against the street cleaners, disorderly dis-orderly conduct, obstructing traffic, and driving without a license. I can well remember once exploring explor-ing In the attic of my childhood and finding a bow and some arrows. It was no Indian bow, but a relic of the Interest In archery of some modern. mod-ern. And would that bow shoot I Even in my Inexperienced hands, It drove an arrow right through the board wall of a cowshed belonging to a neighbor. I certainly had no thought that a cow could be leaning against the inside of that wall I never could quite decide which carried car-ried on worse, the cow or the neighbor. , (, 1131, Bell Syndlc&U.)

Indorsement Given Legume From Japan Kudzu Makes Good Pasture Pas-ture and Holds Soil. (PIM.r1 b" th Pnlttd Btitt Dprt. ment of Agriculture.) WNU Ssrvlc. Kudzu, a perennial legume introduced intro-duced into this country from Japan, Is finding a plnce In the lower lands of the southeast Atlantic states because be-cause It thrives on soils too acid for alfalfa or clover, and still makes good hay and pasture, says Leaflet 91-L, "Kudzu, a Forage Crop for the Southeast," published by the United States Department of Agriculture. Not only does kudzu, which Is a vine, thrive on acid soils, but It helps prevent soli erosion. Planted on steep slopes, it develops a heavy growth and holds the soil Kudzu must be managed somewhat some-what more carefully than ordinary legumes. It should not be overgrazed,, over-grazed,, nor should it be cut too often. The usual way to start kud-iu kud-iu is by setting out small, two-year-old plants. As these grow the vines spread and make new roots where they come In contact with the soIL Later these new plants may be set out The leaflet emphasizes the important impor-tant steps In planting kudzu, and tells how to handle the crop for grazing and for hay. There Is no place for kudzu where alfalfa, clover or lespedeza can be grown profit ably, but In regions In the South west where these crops do not do well, kudzu offers a good substitute, both for hay and grazing.

VILLAGE HAS HAD ITS DAY OF GLORY Old Tadoussac Now Quiet Summer Resort ' The oldest white settlement In America, and once the center of the American fur trade, the Quaint little French Canadian village of Tadoussac, Tadous-sac, on the lower St Lawrence river, riv-er, is today a quiet Canadian summer sum-mer resort Nestling among the foothills of the blue-capped Laurentlan mountains at the Junction of the St Lawrence and Saguena rivers, the village itself la still living In the past the nat ural beauty of its surroundings and the qualntness of Its people attract ing each summer a large number of holidayers who are seeking to leave behind the rush and bustle of mod ern life. Woven around Tadoussac Is a long and romantic history. Here Jacques Cartier, the first explorer of New France, landed In the summer of 1533, and there are numerous tales of visits by those fierce sea rovers, the Vikings, at a much earlier date. Tadoussac, with its natural protected harbor, was long used as a whaling station by the Basques and Bretons, who were the first to form a settlement settle-ment there, and It was In 1599 that the first house In Canada was built At the opening of the century, Tadoussac became the center of the fur trading Industry, which extended as far as Labrador and Hudson bay.

Let Live Stock Help "Let your live stock do the worry ing about weed control," is the sug gestion of 0. H. Nelson, who farm? near Kempton, N. D. From solh' patches of sow thistle in the 193 sweet clover field to a clean, weed free stand of wheat last year is thf short story of one field on this farm Sheep, horses and cattle bring protable returns on Nelson's land by grazing on rotated pastures, uur ing the drought in that section In 1929 the stock grazed the sweet clo ver pasture closer than usual Late In the fall the land was plowed and after that followed only the usual spring seedbed preparation. Nelson has had other similar ex periences in weed control, and be lleves that with the live stock system sys-tem of farming, keeping down sow thistle is not Buch a serious prob lem. Successful Farming. Clean Ground for Pigs "I wanted to see whether there was anything to this clean-ground system of raising hogs," said Axel Bergsten of Riley county, Kansas, In Successful Farming. "So a year ago I separated my brood sows Into two bunches. One nair i lert in the lot where I have raised hogs every year and the other half moved down In the alfalfa field. "I fixed up an automatic waterer, but it didn't work very well, so bad to carry water, but lt was worth while. The pigs out on the clean ground grew right away from those farrowed in the old lots and at five months of age were from W to 7D pounds heavier. Next year every now I have will farrow on clean ground, as I am fully convinced t,t !t is the only way to raise hogs." Control Animal Parasites Parasites that are particularly harmful to young animals can be controlled by proper sanitation and mitpatlon. One of the best ways of controlling parasites Is to rotate pastures. Horses, cattle and swine can be rotated on the same ground. Pastures used for sheep can be used subsequently for horses and swine, but should not be used for cattle as gome of the same parasites attack ! that attack sheep and goats. To date no known method will de-Btroy de-Btroy all kinds of parasites, but these can be kept in control through careful management of flocks. Prairie Farmer, The first trading post of the Hudson Bay company, that great company of gentlemen adventurers, was erect ed on the site where the modern Hotel Ho-tel Tadoussac now stands. In 1003, Champlaln landed at Tadoussac Ta-doussac and made his disastrous treaty with the Algonqulns, thus Incurring In-curring the enmity of the warlike Iroquois, and In the same year the oldest church In America, the Tadoussac Ta-doussac Indian chapel, was erected. On the site of the first church a tiny chapel still stands and the bell which three centuries ago called the converted Indians to mass, still rings out from the chapel belfry. In 10C1, the Iroquois sacked the village, leaving standing only the church, which their superstition prompted them to leave unmolested and for a tlne Tadoussac was a de serted village, In the meantime, explorers had pressed onward and In the search for new worlds this beauty spot on the lower river was neglected. Great cities sprang up throughout the Dominion Do-minion and Tadoussac remained a tiny village important today only for Its historical Interest and Its sum mer resort fame, Once the scene of great historical events, peaceful and warlike, Tadoussac today submits each summer to a peaceful Invasion as visitors arrive by steamer and by car to rest and play in this oldest settlement on the continent Deceive Themselves Many people who think they are hard boiled only have thick skulls. Exchange. Woman's Chief Charms Not to Be Purchased The mouth Is a photograph of the disposition. Someone has said that we are not responsible for the disposition dispo-sition we are born with, but we an responsible for the one that we die with. It Is the same with the mouth. The sweetness and klssableness and dearness of a baby's mouth are not dependent on the shape or size. Baby's mouth is sweet because his soul Is sweet No brand of lipstick, nor any artist in Its usti, can camouflage camou-flage a sour mouth and make even a casual observer believe lt Is sweet Then there is the eye, which the contents of the vanity case cannot change. 'The eye la the window of the soul." You can buy something that will lengthen the fringe on the curtains to your soul-windows, yon can change the cut of the lamorei quins above, but you can't keep people peo-ple from looking in sometimes, unless un-less you pull the shades down altogether alto-gether and put yourself in darkness. No vanity case, not even a whole drug store or beauty shop, can make attractive the windows out of which, looks a quarrelsome, envlcus soul. Keep sweet within, if yon want to! get full value from your vanity case. Nellie S. Russell In the Farm Journal ... , J Unbelievers Challenged It Is said that a woman's voice can be heard by a man In a balloon at a height of two miles, while he cannot can-not hear a male voice above one mile. Care to test It T London Tit-Bits, t the side of protection. In general, say biologists of the United States Department of Agriculture, harmless hawks have broad wings and wide, fan-shaped tails, and the harmful ones have relatively long tails and rounded wings. Study of the ap pearance and habits of the hawks in any section . should enable farmers and sportsmen to tell which are like ly to visit the chicken yard and which will confine themselves largely to feeding on Injurious animals, and thus be useful Governor Sterling' Joke Gov.

Why do you suppose that Goodyear Tires lead all others in public preference prefer-ence by better than two to one? Why do you suppose that more people ride on Goodyear Tires than on any other kind and have for 17 years? These tires must be first-choice because they're better. They must outsell all other tires in the world because they outrun them on the road. On a straight quality basis, then, it certainly looks like common sense to buy first-choice tires. Which brings up the question, "how about price?" OIEATIST Most of the best things on the market naturally cost more than the second-raters. second-raters.
