We poor people here In Gibraltar, we hare so little to think about, even such small details of news" "Ah, yes. Quite so." Woodhouse tapped back a yawn. "lour Journey here from your station on the Nile it was without incident?" Aimer eyed his guest closely. The latter permitted his eyes to rest on Aimer's for a minute before replying.

"Quite." Woodhouse threw his cigarette In the fireplace aud started for the stairs. "Ah, most unusual such a long Journey, without incident of any kind in this time of universalwar, with all Europe gone mad." Aimer was twiddling the combination of a small safe Bet In the wall by fireplace, and his chatter seemed only incidental to the absorbing work he had at hand. "How will the madness end, Captain Woodhouse? What will be the boundary lines of Europe's nations in, say, Aimer rose' as he said this and turned to look aquarely into the other's face.

Any community which secures a Red path-Horner Chaptauqua is especially fortunate.

The people should get behind this great Chautauqua movement, for ll through the United States its influence for good is being felt, and is the one big movement which is endorsed by all people, "The most distinctively American thing in America," says Theodore Roosevelt "If any foreigner wants to see what a real, genuine, dyed-in-the-wool United Stateser is, let him attend a Chautauqua," says Dr. Frank Crane. An editoral in "The American Lumberman" says, "The I'bautau-qua provides just that conbination of dueation, entertainment re-creatian and inspiration that is in-dispedsable to the building up of a rural community. Hence, the community that secures it will move forward in tin march of progress, and the one that does not organize a Chautauqua has neglected one of the most effective means of working out its salvation." The circuit chautauqua was or-ganiztd to make possible a winning fight for preservation of the "home towns" of the country. It recognizes the need of the hour, and its programs are built for a definite purpose.

I for next season's vegetable garden will be high in price anH the supply of some of the best verities may not be equal the demand, believes the Kansas council of defense. The sale of vegetable seed this year has greatly exceeded that of any previous year, and indications are that the large area now devoted to gardening will be extended next spring. In view of this situation, it is thought that it will be to the advantage of many gardeners to save seed from their own crop. Among the garden crops from which seed may be easily and profitably saved are Bweet corn, beans, peas, tomatoes cucumbers, melons, and spinach. In selecting seed only that 'from the strongest and best developed plants, true to the variety tppe, should be taken.

The saving of seed in large quantities is a specialized business, but on a small scale involves little expense Mrs Swartzel and daughter of Wellington visised friends Rock, captain.
