We frequently read the details of a wedding ceremony and it is quite common to find some man or other Referred to as the "best man." Why is it that the bride always picks out some other guy to marry instead of picking out the best man. It seems as if that would make the groom feel xather cheap, especially when he reads of some other man being the "best man" at his wedding. If he must be flattered, why not call him something else?

Last year more than 2,000,000 boys and girls in cities, large towns and in dustrial villages'in the United States culthated gaulens under school direc tion and supervision and produced many millions of dollars' worth of veg etables and small fruits to be con sumed where produced without cost for transportation and handling and Mtliout ioss from deterioration on the markets. There were many thousands of bojs and girls who produced more than $50 each in what would other wise ha\e been idle time, and thou sands of acres of land that would have lain Idle if it lvid not been cultivated by the bojs and girls jielded more than $300 an acie. The educational value to the chil dren was far gieater than the value of the food products. That value in truded health, physical vigor, habits of industry, knowledge of plant life and of the phenomena and forces of na ture, and the beginning of the under standing of the fundamental moral principle that every one should gladly contribute to his own support by his own labor. "The Unfted States bureau of edu cation will not be able to follow up this work this year as fully as it has for several years past," writes P. P. Claxton, United States commissioner of education, "but I hope the interest of childieu, teachers, superintendents and school boards will not lag and that the Mine will soon come when this school directed home garden work will be recognized as a necessity and an essential part of the education of chll dien in all cities, towns and industrial villages."

It pays the community to make a battle for tree treasures. It is a fight which should employ many differ ent tactlCB and arms. First, perhaps, should be the selection for city plant ing of trees that are most nearly immune to the more dangerous pests. Next is good care, and the foster ing of birds which do so much to check insect plagues. Finallj comes scraping and spraying to get rid of the enemies which, like the oyster shell scale, have broken through the other lines of defense. A good trqe Is worth fighting for. POISON IN RHUBARB LEAVES Their Use as "Greens," Which Is Some times Recommended, Is Fraught With Grave Danger. Do not eat the leaves of the rhubarb plant I From time to time one reads or hears advice to economize and also to freshen and purify the blood by eat ing green vegetables. That is all right with certain important limitations, and one of these limitations concerns the leaves of the rhubarb plant Green vegetables have a very valuable place in the food schedule, and boiled "greens," such as cabbage, kale, turnip tops and beet tops are' wholesome. The eating of turnip tops nnd beet tops has led to the assumption that rhubarb tops are good. That is not the fact. There is a dan ger sign on them. Men have been ppi soned by eating them. They contain oxalic add and death lurks in that acid. A fatal case of poisoning by ruhbarb leaves was reported some time again the New York Medical Journal. The red and rosy stalk of the rhu barb has been proved by generations of cooks and generations of men and women at table to be a wholesome and palatable food. It is good as sauce and as filling for pie. But the green foli age of the xlan should not be used SA "greens." Wood Lighter Than Balsa. The wood of a tree found in Pana ma, Cavanillesla platanifolia, Is even lighter than the celebrated balsa wood. The tree grows to an immense size. The branches and leaves are at the very top and the trunk is like a 'huge column. The strength of the trunk is principally in the thick fibrous bark, while the wood is so fragile that it crushes when the tree falls. Old-Tlme Methods of Persian Bakers. The Persian native bread today Is little different from that used 1,000 years ago. The Persian oven is built of smooth masonry work in the ground and is usually about the size of a bar rel. Many ovens have been used for century. The dough is formed into thin sheets about a foot long and two feet wide and slapped against the side of the oven. It bakes in a few min utes.

THE BEMIDJI WEEKLY PIONEER By Charles Sughxoe Watan Nmptpcr Union Down in Misslssip'. Irvin S. Cobb, the humorous lectur er, on a recent southern tour stopped for dinner at a tiny railway restaurant In a Mississippi village. "Well, uncle, what's the bill-of- fare?" he asked the aged colored man who came from the kitchen to look ufter him. -'De bill-o'-fare," said the old man, "am ham, eggs, cohn bread and cof- fee." "Then I'll have bam, eggs, corn bread and coffee, 'uncle," said Mr. Cobb. The old waiter bowedx and shuffled out But a moment later he put his head through the doorway again.
