How to be Happy Though Hot. On nearly every farm and in nearly every country home is a great deal that can be done and ought to be done to increase human comfort in summer. Here are a few sug gestions: I. Work early and late but take a good rest and a nap in the middle of the day. This is the custom in nearly all countries to the south of us, and ought to be followed more generally by farmers in our sec tion. The writer was talking re ceDtly with ex-President Taft, who emphasized this wise adaptation to conditions in the Philippines as one of the most striking features of life in those islands. 2. Screen the house to keep out flies and mosquitoes. 3. Provide comfortable ham mocks, rocking chairs, and rustic seats for the porch and lawn. Ham mocks and rocking chairs don't cost much, and after doing a hard day's work, the tired farmer and his wife are certainly entitled to the extra comfort these conveniences offer. 4. Give the boys Saturday after noons off for baseball or the swim ming pool, except when the work of crop cultivating is most pressing. Mr. Farmer should also |have the same time "off" for attending his farmer's meetings and Mrs. Far mer for attending the meetings of her farm women's club. Arrange a picnic, too, after crops are laid by. 5. Have plenty of big, red, juicy watermelons together with an abun dance of cantaloupes, grapes, figs, apples, pears and peaches. Then don't stop with eating these fruits raw or in pies, but get the good wife to learn the forty other ways of serving and cooking them, each one with a new and keen appeal to the hungry palate, the very sight of each producing what Charles Lamb calls "a premonitory moistening of the nether lip." (If you haven't provided these things this year, you can at least resolve now that you will not let another fall go by with out planting abundant fruit trees nor another spring without planting a big enough melon patch.) 6. Keep a great variety of vege tables in the garden. Many far mers have plenty of vegetables in early summer, but a scarcity toward fall. Let's see if every Progres sive Farmer reader this year can't have growing clean up to the last of October all the good things Mrs. Lindsay Patterson had growing up to that time last year-corn, peas, okra, lima beans, beets, tur nips, cabbage, lettuce, radishes, snap beans, sweet and Irish pota toes, carrots, pumpkins, salsify, parsnips, tomatoes and onions. Don't let a foolish fancy keep you from enjoying certain vegeta bles, but try a little while and you will learn to like all of them.-The Progressive Farmer. They Shall Return. They shall return when the wars are over, When battles are memories dim and far; Where guns now stand shall be corn and clover, Flowers shall bloom where the blood drops are. They shall return with laughing faces, Limbs that are lithe and hearts new born; Yea. we shall see them in old home places, Lovelier yet in the light of morn. Dream not they die, tho their bodies perish; Spirits like theirs, so free and brave, Go on to conquer and vitally flourish Spite of the sword and grasping grave. They shall return when the wars are over, When the battles are memories dim and far; Where guns now stand shall be corn and clover, Flowers shall bloom where the blood-drops are They shall return! -J.

The engine of your motor car weighs from 500 to 1,200 pounds, or more. It will average from 20 to 30 horsepower et the lowest, says a writer in Collier's. The new airplan* engines run less than three pounds per horsepower and the finest of them two pounds or less. Airplanes have been built with air-cooled engines for short distance, fast scouting whose en gines weigh less than a pound and three-quarters per horsepower. They must be quite literally, as an old ad vertisement used to say, "built like a watch." At present a high-powered airplane engine of the best type-say 120 to 150 horsepower-cannot be purchased for much less than $3,000. And the whole airplane, a big one, may readily cost $10,000 to $20,000. You ?an read ily see why the construction of only 15,000 airplanes, as in England's pro gram, would easily equal, for a total expenditure for men and camps and hangars and repairs and wastage, more than half a billion dollars. A fast modern airplane has an aver age life of only about two or three hundred hours of active service-say two months at the outside. This means that to keep 10.000 airplanes on a battle line you have to be able to build 5,000 per month or more. The ,cost would be almost unthinkable. That is why warfare in the air for any length of time would bankrupt the world. And that, In turn, is why war fare In the air means the end of all warfare. SHIPS NEED OF AUSTRALIA Grain of Little Value Without Trans portation, as Little of lt 1* Used at Home. "Australia's food production this year will average normal ; it is neither unusually heavy nor light, but there is going to be considerable difficulty, in handling the trops, because there are no facilities for transportation," said H. W. Stephens, a merchant of Melbourne, who was visiting the Unit ed States. "The greatest need of Aus tralia today is transportation. Until ship tonnage is provided it ls almost useless for the farmers to complete their harvesting, as lt requires only a small percentage of the crops to sup* ply the domestic needs. Heretofore great quantities of grain have been shipped to England and it is still going overseas, but in not sufficient quantity, for En?Iand needs wheat now as never before. But without ships it IA impos sible for us to send our wheat abroad. - . .? . ...?? "The wheat crop of Australia was damaged to some extent by mice, and until the farmers learned how to com bat this pest lt threatened to become a serious menace. The farmers used poison, water, gas and other means, and finally got rid of them." Pray at Old Shrine. Fifteen years ago the supreme court of the United States evicted 300 In dians from their old home on Warner's ranch, in California. Some time later the Sequoia league induced President Roosevelt to name a commission to find a new tract for the Indians. This resulted In the government buying the Pala valley, where the Indians found homes much better than those they were evicted from. But Warner's ranch was the old domicile, where Fa ther Ubach of San Diego held services once a year, at which time ail mar riages, baptisms and funerals were held. The present priest is Father George G. Doyle, and he has rehabili tated the chapel "for memory's sake." On a recent Sunday the old chapel was rededicated, and the Indians from the ^ala valley were happy In praying at ?he old shrine.
