Show THE UINTAH BASIN FARMER To Keep Friendships Outdoor Cellar in Constant Repair Death and absence are not the only ways of losing friends. We grow away from people, and often this is sadder than going away from them. There are friends who pass .and friends who remain. Few come with us all the way, Marie Stuart comments sadly In the Continental Edition of the London Daily Mail. With some we travel to the crossroad, and then, whether the farewell be conscious or unconscious, we turn in different directions. This does not prove disloyalty or failure on either side. We and they are in the grip of different tendencies, circumstances, social and spiritual laws. The currents of destiny bear us east and west. We outgrow friendships as we outgrow clothes. Doctor Johnson said: If a man does not make new acquaintances as he advances through life he will soon find himself left alone. A man, sir, should keep his friendships in constant repair. If one or two have grown with us and the years have welded us we are blessed indeed. "If we find but one to whom we can speak out our heart freely, with whom we can walk in love and simplicity, without dissimulation, we have no ground of quarrel with the world or God. One sueb friend in a to lifetime, journey with us all the a what treasure beyond comway pare! I think that friendship between man and woman can only last when each brings to it fine qualities of mind and of heart. Friendship which is a mere cover for flirtation or an avenue providing a convenient approach to a proposal is only a pretense. Men do not always want to make love to women. Many a man honestly wants a woman comrade someone to talk to someone, also, with a more understanding ear, and with more paAnd tience, than his brother man. what a luxury It Is to be ourselves, quite naturally, with just one human being! I love the schoolboy definition of a friend one who knows all about you, and likes you just the same." To be admitted to the friendship of a man or woman of true culture, largeness of vision and kindliness is the greatest privilege on earth. Radio in Japan In Japan the outlook for the radio the cities Is not bright. The situation in the smaller towns is more promising. The pinch of depression Is being felt by radio dealers and importers. Not a few have failed in the last two or thrt? months. Most of these concerns were profiteering In the earlier days, and instead of proceeding conservatively, they speculated. Of the more than 2,000 dealers in radio receiving sets and accessories in Japan 50 per cent are In Tokyo. Import houses number about thirty. Japanese-made radio outfits are numerous, but those imported from America predominate. In Tokyo, it is estimated, In for Vegetables Site for Structure Should Be Convenient, Preferably a Hillside. (Drepart C bi ti.e United Staten Department of Agriculture.) permanent outdoor cellar for storing surplus vegetables may be built of concrete in most localities at a moderate cost, by using concrete it is possible to make the roof thus lessening the cost of construction. The site for the structure should be a convenient, location, preferably a hillside, into which the cellar may be built. The excavation should be just large enough for the dirt walls to serve as the outside form for the concrete. For that portion of the wall which is above the Surface of the ground an outer and Inner board form must he used.

Temporary supports should he placed across the top to awry the form, so that it will he of the size and shape desired. Walls and Rocf. The side walls and roof should he so constructed that there will he no joints to weaken the structure. The form for the ceiling may he slightly arched by setting a temporary line of posts through the middle of the excavation. A plate placed on these posts a few inches higher than the height of the side walls will allow the form boards to he laid crosswise of the cellar, springing the ends down and securing them to the forms for the inside of the walls. An arch a few inches high makes a strong roof and helps in ventilating the cedar. The roof and the walls should he respectively 10 Inches and 8 inches thick. Roth roof and inch walls should he reinforced with iron rods. In the colder sections of the country, the exposed portions of the structure, with the exception of the door located at the outside end, should be covered with a two or three-foo- t layer of earth to prevent freezing. A supplementary covering of straw, fodder or manure will afford additional protection from the cold. An earth floor is desirable, as ttds permits good moisture conditions for the storage of A well-draine- d -- many vegetables. A framework of slats or removable slat flooring on which to set containers holding vegetables should he placed on the dirt floor, as such an arrangement affords a better circulation of air in the bottom of the cellar. As a means of admitting cool air from the outside, a pipe or duct of suitable size should be run just- - below the level of the floor from a point outside the cellar to the center of the floor. A ventilating flue for the escape of warm air should be placed in the roof. During extremely cold weather both ventilator and air inlet s lould he closed to prevent freezing of the vegetables. The outside end of the air duct should he covered with wire screen to prevent the entrance of small animals. Capacity of Cellar.

Before the pullets are put in the laying pens, the house should be given a thorough cleaning. Spray the interior of the house with a good disinfectant.
