THE SPRINGFIELD NEWS PAGE THREE SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT THE JOB AND THE MAN By P. A. FAITH AVOUNO woman, at least her linn J writing evidence youth, hi a follow: "1 have lout faith In everything. Write something to Iii-Iii inn to regain It." You are mistaken my dear young woman. You have not lout faith. You only think you have. You could not llvo for a day with out faith. Faith la the twin altir of hop, and lioth are absolutely necessary to Lu man existence. Stop for a moment and see l'w much you depend upon faith. You orten your eyes In the morn ing and the first thought la of (be day and Its duties, and you have faith Hint you will be able to perforin thorn. You have faith that you will I re through, the day; that you will have food to sustain you, shelter to protect you. You atnrt for your placo of work and you have fulth In the man who oprm tea the conveyance that takes you there that he will see (hat you arrive safely. , Aa you go up In the elevator you have fulth In the machinery t'jat hauls you from the crown! up Into the nlr elm you could not risk y-ur llf on the strength of those slenJer cables. You co (o work and for six dys you Intior with faith Hint nt the end of the week your employer will pay you the money you have earned. All through the dny'a work you have faith; i ii I ill that your fellow laborers will treiit you honestly and kindly; faith that you will bo able to fairly accomplish your tank unJ go home to well-earned rest. You have fnlth In nature, In to morrow's sunrlHe and tonight's fair stars; lit the coming of the spring time, and the springing gross and flowers. You have fulth that tie planted seed will bring forth fruit and that nil logical results will fob low right cuukv. How could you go to sleep without faith that you will awaken or eat Without f-ilth thut the food will nour ish and strengtl.cn you? Older nixl wiser peoplo than you have thougt-t that they hove lost faith and then found that It wns cot fnlth but Judgment that had fled from them. Voltaire, a wIno man In tunny things, said and wrote much that was fiol Ixh. lie mild that "Fnlth consists In believing things because they tiro im possible." Of course there Is not an atom of truth In thut statement.

She wag supposed to be a freak, to put It clearly, and It was only freaks who would go to her for treutment. It Is still n surprise when you hear a college girl say that she Is studying medicine. It will become less and less so ns prejudice fades and as more and more women cuter the Held. There are nowhere near enough good doctors and In the constantly extend ing work of preventive medicine wom en will find the fullest opportunity. It Is there, more even than with chil dren and with women, that woman will do her greatest medical labor. Pre ventive medicine Is only In Its Infancy. Those who know say that It wlU soon see mi Immense extension. The les sons of tho war have been of tremen dous value In teaching what may be expected, and even these ure but fore shadowing. Tho woman who has a taste for medicine and who can give tho neces sary time to Its study Is preparing a fine future for herself. The day Is over when the Intellectual woman went into teaching as tho one most Interesting profession open ,to her. Tho woman doctor Is olready on her way. In n few years she will be known ns commonly as her brother, and ns favorably. No woman who feels drawn to the work should hesi tate to follow It, If ho cun by any means accomplish tho training re quired (Copyright.) WALKER. life und your dully life proves its falsehood. The apostle I'aul, writing to the Hebrews, set down this truth, "Now faith Is the substance of things hoped for." Koine translators of the orlglr al have put the word "assurance" In the place of the word "substance." "Substance" seems to me the bet ter word because from Its derivation It menus literally "to stand under," and that means foundation. In other words, Faith la the foundation of things hoped for. Since the present moment Is all we have and all that we are assured of the future must be altogether a matter of hope, and hope depends entirely on faith. Faith Is not credulity. The man who hopes for the Im possible cannot have faith In bis hopes. Genuine faith Is based on truth which Is unchangeable and everlasting. 8o long as there la life there la faith as well as hope. Perhaps sometimes our faith may lessen be cause experience shows It to have been wrongly placed. Hut lose faith we cannot, and our effort always should be to strengthen and sustain It. Faith and hope are our mental crutches and the lamer we are the more we need them. How foolish It would be for us. who are at best, in ourselves, so feeble and helpless, to throw away the things SCHOOL 111 lf y -' k" in, tnnte I rp N - Shower Half the world is on the wrong scant In the pursuit of happiness.

A LITTLE church through dusty trees liaised up Its wooden spire, One tit religion's purities Amid our mortsl mire, And one there came to open door Made timid by his sin, Made timid by the mark he wore. And dared not enter In. The while he paused he heard a whir Beside him trembled down Another outcast wanderer, The swallow of the town. It fluttered through the open place. It mounted to the choir, Within the simple bouse of grace Toured forth Its notea of fire. And be who lonely lingered heard And something fell away; He followed after singing Llrd Where sinners kneel to pray. Yea, there the old remembrance died And there the new began; For soon they worshiped side by side The swallow and the man.

EVERY STEP CLEARLY GIVEN Gravelly or Sandy Loam Soils, Wall Drained, Are Generally Consid ered Well Adapted to Pro. ductlon of Potatoes. (Prepared by the United States Depart' ment of Agriculture.) When a boy or girl In a potato growing club succeeds In raising tub ers at the rate of 300 to 000 bushels per acre, as many of them have done, it Is a source of Inspiration to other members of the club who are less for tunate, and, what. Is perhaps of greater Importance, an object-lesson to their elders as to what can be accomplished when the crop Is given proper atten tion. To guide boy and girl club mem bers, as well as their elders, In pro- tit t 3 Garden Club Boy in Hi Patch of Potatoes. duclng bigger potato yields, the United States Department of Agriculture has recently published Farmers' Bulletin 1190, "How to Grow an Acre of Pota toes." It is prepared especially for use In boys' and girls' club work, and every step from the selection of the potato soil to the harvesting, grading, and storing of the crop Is discussed. Best Potato Soils. Gravelly or sandy loam soils are gen erally considered especially well adapted to the production of large crops of potatoes, provided tbey are well drained and well supplied with plant food, says the bulletin. A very light sandy soil or a stiff clay soil should be avoided. The Ideal soil is one that does not run together with rains, that works easily, is well sup plied with humus, and, while well drained, is naturally supplied with inols ure. Clover and alfalfa ard re garded as the best preparatory crops for potatoes. Prepare the Land Thoroughly. Potato soils should be plowed as deeply as possible, but always remem ber not to turn up more than an Inch of the subsoil. Tbe fall is the best season to plow. When the land Is plowed at this time it should be disked and harrowed as early In the spring as possible to conserve the moisture ond to prevent weed growth. Spring plowed land should be disked Immedi ately, In order to prevent the possible packing of the newly turned soil. In preparing the seed bed spare no pains to put it In good condition. If the crop Is planted on land that is poorly prepared, no amount of subsequent cultivation will entirely remedy the defeat. Select the variety that Is known to FREEZING FRUIT TO HELP PRESERVATION Method Has Passed Experi mental Stage in West. practice la to Be Recommended ln Sections Where There Is Surplus and Sufficient Cold-Storage Space Available. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment c( Agriculture.) . Preserving fresh fruit by freezing has passed the experimental stage lu the Middle Western and Pacific states. The office of preservation of fruits ami vegetables, bureau of markets, has been Investigating the new meth od for several years and the Inves tigators report thut such fruits as strawberries, raspberries, logon ber ries, blueberries, currants and cher ries are now being frozen and held in commercial lots. So far as the process is concerned, 7, if' f.- be adapted to the section. Use the best seed obtainable, and, If possible, msk sure that It has been produced from strong, healthy plants that have developed a goodly number of tubers of even, marketable slr.e and uniform shape. Before planting, the seed should be disinfected with formalin solution to prevent potato scab. Better yields are obtained by the use of from 15 to 18 bushels of seed per acre, though the average for the United States Is 8.0 bushels. Cut blocky seed pieces, weighing from one to two ounces each. After planting, itp the surface of the ground loose until the plants ap pear, then deep cultivation should be gin, but as the crop develops shallow tillage Is recommended. Insects and diseases should never be allowed to get established, but should be con trolled by suitable fungicides and In secticides such as are described In tbe bulletin. When the crop Is being har vested, a systematic effort .should be made to select desirable tubers for next year's seed. TREATMENT OF BROODY HEM Large and Unnecessary Less in Sum mer Production of Farm Flock . (fan Be Prevented. There often Is a large and altogether unnecessary loss In the summer pro duction of tbe farm flock, due to tbe Coop for Broody Hens. Idleness of numbers of broody hens which are permitted to remain on the nests indefinitely and so are unpro ductive for many weeks. If such hens are removed from the nest as soon as broodiness develops, are placed In a comfortable coop, and well fed and wa tered, they usually can be broken up promptly. There Is nothing better than the coop shown here. It Is made of pine boards. Tbe floor should be about a foot from the ground. Tbe sides and floor are made of slats spaced one-half to three-quarters of an Inch apart. ' CERTIFICATES HELP GROWER Food Products Inspectors Make Ex amination of Shipments at Cer- ' tain Market Centers. The gTower who ships ' perishable food products to large market centers no longer needs to depend entirely on the statement of a commission dealer or other receiver as to the quality and condition of the shipment on its ar rival at market Food products in spectors of the United States Depart-' ment of Agriculture, upon application. Inspect shipments of perishables at certain market centers and issue cer- -tificates stating the quality and condi tion of the shipment on Its arrival These certificates are accepted as prima facie evidence in all courts of the United States in any legal action, that might result In case of dispute between Interested parties. A nominal charge for the inspection is made by the food products Inspection service, depending upon tbe amount of produce Inspected. Prevent Chicks Chilling. Chicks are frequently chilled at the time they are taken out of the Incu bator and often when being trans ferred to the brooders. Great care must be taken to prevent this. this method of preservation has all the merits of simplicity. The fruit Is frozen In the same crates in which it Is marketed. The temperature re quired Is about 10 degrees l though soft fruit is usually subjected to a lower temperature than that of better-quality. So long as the tempera- , ture Is maintained the fruit can be kept in storage. The frozen product must be used aa soon as it Is thawed, however, as thawing breaks down, the tissues and allows the fruit to decay rapidly. Iu Ice cream, or when made Into pies and preserves, the frozen fruit Is iu every way comparable to the fresh product. In preparing their report the representatives of the United States Department of Agriculture state that the practice Is to be recommended In sections where there Is a surplus of production and sufficient cold-storage space available to accommodate the fruit. Qnly fresh, sound fruit should be frozen. Freezing does not do away with mold, though mold will not de velop as long as the fruit remains at the temperatures employed.
