Triumph Over Selfishness: The toughest nut any man ever tried to crack is a selfish heart It takes a giant hammer, swung by superhuman power to do that. But once the shell is broken, the sweetest meat ever tasted drops out. - L.t J&iTZRor i HAT Is to be the fate of the house of Habsburg (or Hapsburg) ? Nine centuries ago the house of Habsburg had its beginning in Switzerland. When the great war n began it was the empire. Now the head of the house of Hapsburg Is back in Switzerland an exile. In these days of the League of Nations, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance, probably the future of the house of Habsburg is of small moment politically. But historically it is a most fascinating question. For the history of Austria is unique In history in that it is the history of a family and not the history of a state; It is the history of a dynastic and not of a national power. It is unique also for many other things. Territorially the name Austria was attached from about 1000 to 1806 to an inconsiderable archduchy on the Danube. Dynastically it became connected In the thirteenth century with the house of Habsburg, then Insignificant, and its history since is simply the history of that house. There is no Austrian nation, strictly speakThere Is no Austrian laning. guage. Historically there never was an emperor of Austria. In the zone of perpetual conflict in Europe were born the two states which in turn were to dominate Germany is Austria and Prussia. Austria simply the Latin form of Oestereich the "Eastern Mark of the German kingdom, established by Charlemagne on the Danube, as its defense against the Magyar invader. ' The importance of the house of Habsburg and of Austria begins with Rudolph of Habsburg Emperor Rudolph I of the Holy Roman empire. Gun-traTo go back a few generations: the Rich was a count of Alsace who flourished in the tenth century. Warner, a grandson of Guntram, became bishop of Strassburg and on an eminence above Windiseh, on the banks of the Aar, in the Swiss canton of Aargau, built Schloss Habsburg the castle of vu(Habichtsburg, ltures). This castle is still standing; the picture shows it to he an unpretentious affair. Werner L nephew of the builder, was the first count of Habsburg. Albert III, son of Werner II, inherited extensive estates in Upper Alsace and acquired' several Swiss districts about Zurich and The house of Habsburg began to grow at once. Rudolph IH, son of Albert IV, was elected emperor of the Holy Roman empire in 1273 and thus figures in history as Rudolph I, Holy Roman emperor. The Holy Roman empire, it has been said, was neither holy, Its original Roman, nor an empire. basis was sort of a loose union of the crowns of Germany and Italy. Whoever was accepted' as king by Germany was regarded as the potential emperor and assumed the imperial' title when crowned by the pope at Rome. By the sixteenth century it was an anachronism ; yet it persisted at least In form and title until the nineteenth century. Rudolph T was elected' emperor because his possessions were smalt' and It was supposed he would be an amiable figure-heaHe fooled' the electors by reviving and' increasing of the imperial office. Moreover, he used' tlie powers for the aggrandizement of the house of HabsOttocar, king of Bohemia, reburg. fused to acknowledge him and was defeated and slain: Rudolph thereupon appropriated for his sons a part of the dominions which the Bohemian king had acquired; including Austria (then a duchy). The house of Habsburg thus became the house of Austria, and its history from this time on is the history of Austria. By marriage, by diplomacy,, nnd by pressure the house of Habsburg plucked one by one the coronets of Tyrol and' Carlnthia (1636) ; Franche-ComtFlanders and the Low Countries (1477), the crowns of Spain, Naples, Sicily and Sardinia (1516) ; Bohemia, including Moravia, and HunThese many crowns gary (1526). were never welded into one, but were carefully distinguished as emblems of separate sovereignties, united' in no Austro-Hungaria- Ln-cer- mineral salts. Cheese and bread Is a very popular form of food in England and it Is eaten by ail classes. Being an economical food, it is eaten to a larger extent by the laboring classes, who, owing to the sort of work they do, require a good tissue builder at a moderate price. It is well to remember that part of the health of the English race is due to the fact that the English life Is an outdoor life, and it is a very good thing for us to profit by this and cultivate at all times, in ourselves and in our children, the habit of getting outdoors as much as possible.

In modern times the Slavic peoples are predominant in numbers and the Germans are of the whole ; only about yet until recent years the Austrian power in European politics figured chiefly as a German power and took leadership in Germany itself. At last Prussia rose up to proclnim a German nationality. Then Austria was thrown out from the Germanic circle nnd found her true level in the In 1866 the headpolitics of Europe. ship of Germany was settled between Austria and Prussia on the field of a, one-fourt- h Sadowa. This brought about the establishment of the dual monarchy of Austria-HungarInasmuch as the Austrian emperors power could no longer he based on the theory of Austrias ascendancy in Germany Francis Joseph ) had to submit to a reI arrangement of the relations of Austria and Hungary. So Francis Joseph was crowned in 1867 emperor of Austria and king of Hungary at Budapest the ruler of two sovereign states, each with its own constitution, legislative bodies and system of administration, but having a joint or common ministry. Here is why the title of emperor of Austria was an empty title, even before the great war. Archduke was the real title of the sovereign of Austria ; he always kept it, though he When Nahimself emperor. poleon became supreme in western Europe and a dictator in Germany, it was preposterous for an Austrian archduke to bear trtles which purported to carry with them the rule of the world'. In 1804 Francis II, head of the house of Habsburg, was emperor of the Holy Roman empire. He ceased to be king of Germany and he formally renounced his elective office of emperor of the Holy Roman empire. But he consoled himself by assuming the ti- (1830-1916- nlso-calle- ham dress, with hair arranged most becomingly down over her ears, stood In Partnership MLS.

Formally and historically, the historians say, the taking of this title was a sheer and shameless imposture. Is there a curse on the house of Habsburg? During the reign of Francis Joseph the world talked much of such a curse, and many believed that it was being fulfilled. Certainly the private life of Francis Joseph was the most tragic. Though he reigned 68 years nnd died of natural causes, the hand of fate was heavy on the house. Francis Joseph married in 1854, after a romantic courtship. Elizabeth, daughter of Maximilian, Duke of Three (laughters and one son were born to them. In 1S07 his brother Maximilian, emperor of Mexico, In 1SS9 the crown was executed. prince Rudolph committed suicide or was assassinated at Meyerling. The same year the Empress Elizabeth was assassinated by an Italian anarchist. And then came the assassination on June 28, 1914, at Sarajevo in Bosnia, of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand, the heir apparent, and his wife. It was this assassination which formed the for plunging the whole pretext world into the great war. Charles, the present head of the House of Habsburg. was born in 1S87. He married Princess Zita of the Bour-bo-n house of Parma and has two sons.

But after the corn is up, each succeeding cultivation should be shallower than the last. Methods of cultivation in one section of the country differ greatly from Farmers those in another section. should not cease trying to learn better methods because of these differences. The most valuable information can be obtained from unprejudiced observant corn growers of many years experience. Purposes of Cultivation. The main purposes of cultivation are to prevent weed growth, surface run off and the loss of moisture by evaporation. Proper cultivation should secure these results regardless of the specific means used. Some of the most successful com growers practice frequent early cultivation. Early cultivations will stimulate the growth of the young corn plants by aerating and warming the soil. They will also check Injury from worms, insects and moles. Harrows or weeders should be used before the corn is up or while It is small enough to permit their use. While the plants are small, narrow shovels that do not throw much soil, or disk cultivators set to throw the soil from the corn should be used. Fenders are desirable to prevent covering or injuring the small plants. Many tests of deep and shallow cul After the corn is two or three feet high, the soil even in the middle of the rows should not be cultivated deeper LABOR SITUATION IS the three weeks mentioned 2 per cent of tlie men discharged and who were not farming when they entered the army intended to take up farming. Of the 1.8 per cent of the soldiers who had been on farms previous to entering tlie army, and who did not intend to return, tlie reason given by 1 per cent was that the men were disabled and therefore unable to do heavy farm work. At least half of this number are taking up vocational courses in agriculture which will fit them for a class of farm work which does not require hard physical effort. the entire remaining Practically eight-tenth- s per cent had been farming with their parents or were tenants and considered It too late to farm this year, as other help had been secured. A similar report from the farm help specialist in charge of the work at Camp Gordon, Ga., shows that during 4 weeks In April 3,291 farmers were discharged from that camp. Of that number 83 were directed to situations on the farms in Georgia, while 2,342 said they were returning to their jobs or homes on the farms, and the remaining 866 did not desire to go hack to farm work. At another camp 30 farmers were personally interviewed and 29 stated that they were going back to the farm immediately on receipt of their discharges. HELPED BY SOLDIERS Returning From Overseas Are Going Back to Farms. Men Department of Agriculture Makes Careful Survey in Army Camps Shows That Majority of Farmers Will Resume Work. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The majority of soldiers who entered the army from the farms are returning to them immediately after receiving their discharges from military duty. This furnishes the brightest spot in a situation that is not yet entirely satisfactory, but that promises steady improvement, although there is still no indication of a decided movement back to the farm by men who were attracted from work by high wais in industrial pursuits. Careful surveys made In army camps by the departments farm help specialists of the department of agriculture furnish ample proof to refute statements that have appeared In the press that from 75 per cent to 90 per cent of the men who were called by the army from the farms are not returning to them. In a Virginia camp the specialists found that during the first three weeks in April 98.2 per cent of such men discharged actually returned to the farms. During the week ending April 5 the specialists interviewed 2,021 men at this camp. It was found that 933 were from farms and all but 15 of that number Intended to return. During the following week 2,108 men were Interviewed. It was found that 691 were from farms and all but 14 The next week intended to return. 716 men were interviewed. Of this number 364 had formerly been employed on farms, and all but 5. Intended to return. These figures are the actual result of personal interviews with each man. It was found also that a number of those who had previously been engaged In other occupations expressed ft desire to take up farming. During than four inches, and usually a shallower cultivation will prove better. Maintain a loose soil mulch two or three inches thick. This prevents the escape of moisture already in the soil and soaks up the rainfall rather than letting it run off. Proper Cultivation. Cultivate often enough to keep down weeds and to maintain constantly a loose soil mulch until the corn has reached its growth. More cultivations will be needed if rains are frequent. The crust which forms after every rain must lie broken and pulverized or excessive run-of- f or evaporation will soon rob the soil of its moisture. It is a mistake to think that the longer the dry spell the more frequent should be the cultivations. After the mulch lias been produced, its frequent stirring is not necessary unless weeds become troublesome. Many crops are cut short hy stopping cultivation because the corn is too tall to use a double cultivator without breaking down the stalks. If conditions demand it, continue shallow cultivation even though the com is tasseling. It is sometimes profitable to remove weeds even by the costly process of hand labor at as late a date as the silking of the corn. Under some conditions six or eight cultivations are advisable, while under other conditions three may be sufficient. The maximum yield is not obtained hy the number of cultivations, but by keeping the soil in the proper condition. Make spray while the sun shines. A small garden well cared for is far better than a large garden neglected. Manure should if possible be spread early, but when crops nre to be planted late it may be advisable to apply manure. Tomatoes trained to stakes fio not yield quite as much as In bush form, but the fruit is better colored and larger. All cereals should be kept in dry, d storerooms. Damp, dark cellars should never be used or storing foods. well-lighte- 1 |
