One Reason D isorders '‘OUR doctor can tell you, that nervous disorders are very com­ mon among Americans. One reason for, this is found in the fact that they are great coffee drinkers. Coffee contains caffeine, a drug, prescribed by doctors as an emergency stimulant for the heart and nervous system. It has a tendency to increase blood pressure, develop heart irreg­ ularities and cause digestive dis­ turbances. If you1 feel that coffee is not good for you, serve Postuin as your meal­ time drink. Postum is a pure cereal beverage that refreshes and satisfies. It is ab­ solutely free from caffeine or any other irritating drug. - Try a cup of Postum with your dinner or supper tonight.

It is no credit.to an individual to live in a dead community. It is a reflection'upon-, his own ability. Every man should make it his busi­ ness to help promote the spirit of progress, for only in that way is it pissibly to have prosperity. A community is simply a gro-ip of people—and ilie. activities of these !people control and govern the ac- tivities of the community. A hew enterprise never comes into a community until someone mikes a move to help bring it there And when a nian helps to promote the interest of his neighbors, he .is also helping to boost himself.

Industry makes prosperity.; : ,Ca Hundreds of-'IarminglConimuni ties have jumped ahead with more money in their stoies by starting Co-operative Butter Factories and thereby getting the full profit- from their cream: A Co-operative' But­ ter Factory means a big saving'for the; farmer and it means steady casli coming into the community, which, of course' means ' more business transactions of every kind and less credit extensions. A Cooperative Butter Factory will help ancom m unity—it will protect the farmer and will mean a saving for him as well as putting more money into circulation. ,ReaipDi Why bar Conunuiiity Shou’d Hsvea Co-operative Butler Factory.

It means'bigger savings accounts-and it also means more cash .trading and less credit extensions because the farmer gets his cream money just like a factory worker gets his wages. 9 . A Co-operative Butter Factory is the finishing touch to farm equip­ ment. ‘ It enables-the. farmer to finish the work he starts and get the tiill benefits therefrom.

Wlnton saw the situation, 'as he thought, precisely. If his claim had actually proved valuable, De Witt, who had unloaded the shares upon the un­ suspecting Archie, must be kicking himself savagely at that moment. He resolved to be very cautlpus and to say nothing to anybody about, his. business. He learned the .location of the coach offlce from the station agent, and strolled across the market square to­ ward it, stepping among the recumbent oxen.- Now he began to perceive signs of prodigious activity In Taungs. The market square was filling up. Auction­ eers were putting'up thin, miserable donkeys and broken carts, which brought Incredible prices., Indian ped­ dlers, old clothes men, hawkers of “Ice- cold” drinks poured out from canvas bottles, suspended In the sun, to lose heat by evaporation, swarmed among Ihe crowd of bidders. Occasionally a man on horseback, 111 flannel shirt and wlde-brlmmed bat of felt,,his worldly goods packed Iqi his saddle-bags, and thumping at his -steed’s flanks, came loping by, tiding toward the west. Many of the ox wagons were already upon their way, making ,their first march before the heat of noon. Winton pushed his way through the throngs nnd found the coach offlce, near the northeastern' comer Of the square, surrounded by a crowd of ap­ plicants, among them bis traveling companions of, the two days and nights spent In the train. The coacb, a huge affair, containing seats for sixteen, with an immense leather boot at the back for baggage, stood at the side of the office ; In the rear a half-dozen mules, which had been led from their stables, were tak­ ing their last roll in the dust and scat­ tering clouds upon the bystanders. Winton heard a passenger offer twen­ ty pounds for a ticket to a little one- eyed man, who rejected his proposal scornfully. The fare was ten pound's; the little man had bought some seats on speculation, and was receiving of­ fers with astonishing disdain and ar­ rogance. “Twenty pounds!” he rep’eated sar­ castically, spitting into the dust. “Cemmen here offers twenty pounds for a seat as far a's Malopo. Come, gem- men, shame him'! Only one stage a day, and all the- seats booked weeks ahead.. Whc- says fifty?” ‘Fifty!” cried a stalwart old pros­ pector at Winton’s side. “Sixty!” shouted another. “Sixty! Who’ll raise sixty? Seven­ ty? Th.ank you, sir. Eighty? Seventy- five?” He was holding out the ticket to Winton, who shook his head Indig­ nantly. . Just then his. eyes lit upon a pair who attracted and'arrested his atten­ tion Immediately. One was an old man, apparently In his late sixties,-with his occupation as prospector stamped all over him, In the hungry eyes, sun- wrinkled and staring, his calloused hands; the other was a girl, dark­ haired, about three-and-twenty, and of singular and rather exotic beauty, who stood beside, him, her. arm drawn through his own. It was not so much the contrast be-' tween the two that struck Winton as the reversal of their natural roles, In that , the girl seemed to be the leading spirit. ‘There was something indica­ tive of protectiveness In her finely modeled face, her gesture. The man, on the other hand, looked like one broken by misfortune.; his hands shook, as with a palsy, md he glanced up into- the face of his taller daughter from time to time with appealing helpless- ness.“It’s fortunate that I got a ticket for you, father,, when I left Malopo,” said the girl. ■ ■ She had -evidently come into Taungs to meet bar father. Winton wondered who she was, and what , she was doing alone In Malopo, unless her father Uved; there habitually. ' “Eighty I”, shouted the tlcket-holder. “Eighty-five?” Winton re'alized that the man was' addressing him again.,- He had declined to- pay seventy-five with indignatidn. But now, before he quite realized w taf he was doing,- he nodded. All the while he was watching the girl and the old man. “I’m bhl' eighty-five. Who says ninety? Eighty-seven ten, ^m - For- the last. time, gemmen! Going at elehtv-rive, which - is a . sin and a scan- Hai-SOlng--Folng-gonel It’s yours. So Winton found himself the pos­ sessor of a ticket ito Malopo, for which he had paid the equivalent of fouulJulb, dred dollars and. a. trifle more out of his swlftlv diminishing capital of tenAnd he found ^ s e l f w<£ dering why the.-slghtoftheoldm an and the girl had caused him to Changq M^mlnd end fall; into the speculator’s t ' ; '■ He discovered that the coach would not start for nearly an hour, and, sus­ pecting that Malopo prices. woujd be considerably In advance: of' thSie'. In Taungs, hurried, into: the first store-he saw which did not seem to !have a na­ tive clientele. There he threw himself upon the mercy of the. proprietor .who equipped him with a sensible 8utSt con­ sisting of a small; tin trunk—the white ants would eat through his .leather sult-case In one night, Winton was told; —and a correct up-country costume,' Winton sent, for bis baggage, which the proprietor obligingly agreed to stpre for him, and presently strolled in sensi­ ble khaki, with a'wide-brimmed felt hat rising into a peak, and high boots. .He, took his seat among the miscellaneous' crowd of passengers, and, while the mob outside cried fantastic offers for seats through the window, the mules, now ten In number, started. ' On the box sat the Hottentot driver, cracking his twenty-foot whip of hip­ popotamus hide, and flicking the slack­ est mules with a . dexterity'that was never at fault. On rolled the coach' through the infested L streets, into the clean desert,- making In the direction of a ridge of pale-blue mountains west­ ward. -, ■ - It swayed and creaked upon Its way, the baggage thumping In the boot, the. mules dancing over the sand, the pas­ sengers good-humoredly Jostling, one another at every movement. It began to pass the travelers of the morning— men riding thirsty Basuto ponies, carts with thin donkeys, crawling at a snail's pace between heaven and sand; daring and resolute pedestrians walking be, side donkeys, tlielr only friends, laden with baggage and water-bags.. Winton turned his- attention to bis fellow passengers. Besides the old man and the girl there were a number of prospectors and, mining men, evi­ dently old residents of the country; to judge from their tanned faces and the brick-red arms disclosed under the up- rolled shirt sleeves. There were two or. three clerks or‘storekeepers, and one man seated in a corner, with his hat over his eyes, whose' insolent demeanor and flashy clothes arrested Wlnton’s attention. Winton sat rather uncomfortably against the strap that ran across the width of the coach in the center, di- Trfding it into two portions, and fur­ nishing an inconvenient, swinging sup­ port for two rows of passengers, back to back. There was another row at either end of the' coach; thus there were four lines of seats, the occupants of the first, and second, and those of the third and fourth facing each other; Opposite Winton sat the girl and her father. -Thc bld-man,'who had taken several pulls at a flask in his pocket, was lying back half asleep, As Win­ ton watched him, he saw his eyes open, travel from face to face, and suddenly fix themselves upon some occupant of the farthest row with a look- of terror and abasement. Involuntarily Winton turned, to per­ ceive that the man with his hat over his eyes had pushed it up and was watching the older one with a smile of amusement. Winton thought his face, was one of the most sinister that he had ever seen. He was about—forty years of. age, and not ill-looking; but the smile on his countenance was a wolfish snarl.

He went over to the girl. Be' side her was an inoffensive little clerk. Hejerkedhim bythearm.' , “I’ll change/places with you,” he said peremptorily. The little clerk rose obediently and made his way across the strap, the other passengers, who had not dared to resent the first disturbance, remon­ strating vehemently as they dislodged themselves to allow him passage, ■ “Well, Sheila, ihy dear,!’ said the newcomer, grinning Into the girl’s face, “glad to see you.

He- bad an introduction to De Wttt In his pocket, but now he' hardly felt like presenting it.. De Wltt sat down beside the girl. There was nothing In the'mani’s words that need be especially offensive. In a free-and-easy community, but the; fa­ miliarity of the cogrse tones, which made the girl , wince, stung Winton to fury. : “Well, who’d have thought to see you here, Daddy Seaton?” the man con­ tinued. “Come to try your luck on the, fields? It’s never too late to strike It rich. You and,I have been Old friends, daddy, since those days down at Sand Elver." . ‘ . ... The old man, who, had been watching the other like a fascinated rabbit, put. out one hand with an involuntary ges­ ture which seemed to he Warding off, a. blow. v -( “I—didn’t know you. were here, Mr. -De Witt,” -he gulped. . / ■: - ' “Or you would have given Malopo a- wide berth, eh?” laughed the other. “Well* never-, mind, daddy. - Friends, like you and me stand, together through thick and thin'—eh.

But he ‘restrained'hlmseif, There was nothing he could do; he had no knowledge' as- to, the relationship, if ; any,,’existing between: the glrl and; He Wltf- And While he was trying to keep his anger under' control, the coach stopped at the first post ' The passengers their Jega after the ten-miledrlve.

The whirling -dust found Its Way through thejcrevlces of the window-panes apd coated the in­ terior of thecoach with wkite, plaster­ ing the sweat-stained faces ;bf the travelers. Daddy Seaton still crouched In bis corner, watching De Witt In fas­ cinated terror.-' De Witt’s mood ap­ peared to have; changed when he re­ sumed his' seat, beside Sheila. With hardly a word to her he settled him­ self to : sleep, as did the majority of the passengers. Hls bodyi swayIngwith the- swaying Coach, gravitated now toward her and now toward the man next .to him, who was himself asleep, his head resting against the glass of the window.; finally, howeveri De Witt’s' head fell sideways upon the girl’s shoulder, and the. man lay with his shoulders supported against her body. Winton saw the-same appealing look In her eyes. And this time he was about to intervene, when Sheila ven­ tured to protest by a slight-movement which sent De Witt’s head back gently against the padded back of the coach. ■ De JVitt • opened - his eyesr looked round, grinned, and settled himself again deliberately In the same posi­ tion. Next moment Winton was stand­ ing In front of him, white with pos- slon. “Have the goodness to take your head off- that lady’s shoulder!” he demanded. He was aware of a slight1 commotion among the other passengers, such as Is described in- published - accounts of speeches by the parenthetical word “sensation.” But the effect -of his K E E P H E N S IN D O O R S IN S E V E R E W E A T H E R If you: want winter .eggs, - the hens should not be allowed :to run outdoors at all. They will do! much; better con­ fined In the hduse mil the time thaS they would out under the old binder or sitting In the' same stall .at the bam all' day. The main reason for keeping hens In the house is to force , them to eat what , is necessary to make them lay out of season. They must have a good; well-balanced dry mash In hoppers so they may eat at any time. Tbis dry inash must ' be eaten - slowly - so the hens have to spend-a - good deal of tltne at the hoppers to get their fill. They must also. .have a grain ration and greens bf some kind; There are a number of grain rations that can be used, In fact most any grain that the hens like and Is generally grown on the farm Is all right It can be balance'd by the addition of ; other grains in the dry .mash. I prefer a grain ration of cracked corn, whole oats, and wheat. Kafir is fine In the mixture and kafir and oats alone m^ke a good again ration, says a writer In Successml Farming. One of the most important things In the winter Care of hens Is a good litter of straw or some litter material on the floor. This litter should be six or eight inches deep and all the grain must be scattered In it so the hens will have to scratch and work for. their feed The heaviest feed of grain should be given at night, so all the hens will go to roost with their crops full. Many poultry houses are arranged; so the droppings fall In tlie litter on the floor. This can be remedied by Installing a dropping board .under the rodsts. The .roosts can be placed across the back of the house on a level with each other and the. plat­ form for the dropping board- built un­ der them. Then the.droppings can be cleaned out every day or two and the litter on the floor will not-have to be changed so often. ' The green feed can be supplied either by sprouting oats or by using beets or cabbage' that have been stored for the purpose. The best method of feeding, I find, Is to give the hens a light grain feed In the early morning. This can be scattered the night before if desired. The green feed is put out at noon and the heavy feed of grain In the evening before the hens go to roost. Doctors yffltiim atim , SpratiiMi >. CftfflqfjivjEfc.

B e ttn th m a m m ta r ip ta tte i Geologists Say Tilting .of Soil Will Change Flow of Water. New York.—On the very spot where Buffalo’s great factories now turn out their giant air liners, our ancestors used to stand and gasp In awe at the thunder of the greatest cataract In the world—Niagara falls. Over this falls, 2,000 years ago 220,000 cubic feet of water plunged every second. Tourists came from all over the world to gaze at'this natural wonder, and the thunder of tire waters could be beard- for miles away. Su cli is what the school children of 3924 will read In their histories and geographies if the prediction of Prof. Ulysses S. Grant, head of the depart­ ment of geology at Northwestern uni­ versity, in Chicago, is correct. F ct, according to Professor Grant, Niagara will cease to flow In 3924, leaving Lake Ontario stranded and the wonderful scenic beauty of Niagara gorge and the hills a thing of the past, River May Dry Up. Possibly Michigan’s two peninsulas may be Joined, and it Is also entirely possible that the Detroit river may dry up. ' ' Here is what Professor Grant has found: Gradually the east end of Lake Mich­ igan is being raised above the level of the west end. As water will seek its own level, it is obvious ‘the lake surface'will change. Tilting of the_ earth’s surface causes this change in the lake’s level,. The difference-In levels between the east- end and-tile west end is now only eight feet By measuring the change in levels' in the ■past, and by carefully Observingj and recording the lake levels, scientists now are able to estimate approximately when the' levels will be equal. And when they are equal ihe flow will ceaise', other conditions being un­ changed. LakeyMichigan is now tilting south­ ward six inches per 100 years. ’ The Canadian border is being raised by tilting of the earth. The shore line, of Lake Michigan Is continually advancing postward. Care­ ful measurements over a long period of tine.show how much the lake is tilting, westward. - ’ Thus, through a careful study of these conditions, Professor Grant an­ nounces his belief that there will be no Ntigara 2,000 years Trom now. If this be true and Lake Michigan' tilts southward, this would.serve to dry up the straits and would join,the two peninsulas, of Michigan, providing, of course that there was a similar tilt to the earth’ strata In the eastern part of Michigan and Canada. The rising of thi Canadian side would tend to make Windsor a hillside suburb' of Detroit, with tiie river disappearing and De- tnit's drbam of alakes-to-the-sea route s h a t t e r e d . ✓ MustControlLakeLeveL, , Still, 2,000-years/is a long time ahead and, if 'science progresses as much In tie next 20 centuries as it has In the -last, oceansroutes will become a thing o: \tlie past, scientists predict, giant liacrs of the air carrying the world’s ciimnierce at -a speed never even dreamed of. Associated with Professor Jrant In his researches has been Prof. John B. F.ayford, director of the School of En­ gineering at Northwestern university. F or the past 10. years, Professor Hay-; f ard has studied the lakes with the view of finding out how much is lost by evaporation. As a result, he'has concluded that some method.of eoh* trolling the lake level mudf “be- ad-; t anced. This regulation Is possible; tr®. 'fessor Hayford 'pointed out in a vol­ uminous report, by a series of movable dams—a plan recommended by offi­ cials of the sanitary districfT of Chi­ cago.- The dams would be built In the St. Lawrence river, near Lake Ontario, and In the Niagara river opposite Buf­ falo. This would make it.possible to raise or to lower the Iakev levels as necessity calls. ; The significance and importance of this is marked in the handling of com­ merce on the lakes. Professor Hay- ford now jym estimate1 in a day the level of the lake at any given , point. Formerly this required ti week. In­ crease of the level of one-tenth of a foot makes it possible for the typleally: large lake vessels to carry, 76 more tons of freight with very little addi­ tional expense.

A study of the .efforts during the Nineteenth century to learn the- age of Niagara fails brings up some inter­ esting facts. in connection with a state­ ment that Niagara will cease in 3924 A. D. • Geologists, say that when the gla­ ciers drew back, the Great Lakes were revealed. Water then was discharged down the Illinois river, Lake Huron’s level was lowered. Lake Huron, Lake Superior and Lake Michigan flowed out through the Ottawa valley, leaving Erie and Ontario to discharge down Niagara. J ■ Between LaJtes Erie and Ontarlo are layers .of hard stone. In 23,000 years Lake Erie-cut the gorge back four miles. : The land tilted upward. The upper lakes were turned down into Lake Erie once more and Niagara plunged :on and tore out more rock. Nature Is still working away at it and other condl'- tions are bringing the condition when the flow will be turned back again and Niagara will not get water, 35,000 Years Work.

Professor Hali In 1842 mad.e a very careful trigonometric survey of foe Horseshoe fall, erecting marks at points where the angles were taken, so that i the rate of recession could-be deter­ mined Jn the future.

Pyramid of Cheops Is Still in Good Condition Save for one surviving pyramid, the seven wonders of the ancient’ world have passed on.

Dutch Kids Tutors for Former Crown Prince WIeringen, Holland.—Children of the-, fishermen of the island of WierIngen were the chief companions of ex-Crown Prmce William of Germany during his stay here after the revolution. When the former prince was not making horseshoes, one of his favorite forms of exercise, or reading, he was strolling about: -the fields or along the wharfs with his pais, the youngsters. It was from foe children, chiefly, that William learned, to epeak Dutch fluently. "My best helpers in picking up the language were the children of the fish­ ermen,’’ the' ex-prince said just before, his departure to join his family at his castle at OeIs, Silesia.: “The children were not shy like the old foiks. some -of whom often .were awe'd by my pres­ ence. and just as natural as could be.

A. number of the commanding gen­ erals were killed during the crossing of the river subsequent to the storm­ ing of “Death’s Balcony,” as the sol­ diers call, the rebel trenches, accord­ ing to special dispatches from Ocotlan. After crossing the river the federal forces successfully attacked the rebel positions a,t Cu tzeo, forcing the main rebel column to hoist the.white flag and sound bugl ss, calling for a parley, the dispatches tay. The following dispatch was sent early to General Arnolfo Gomez, mili­ tary commandant in Mexico City, by President Obregon. . "I am pleased to report that our loyal soldiers have given the highest example that can be demanded in bravery and loyalty while crossing the Lerma river, where the rebels have organized defenses, aided by the nat­ ural advantages offered in that region. “The. battle lasted 11 hours with­ out any truce, beginning at 7 o’clock (Saturday) in the morning and end­ ing at 6 o'clock In the evening. It is impossible to give an estimate of the losses suffered by the enemy, because the fighting er.de dat nightfall over a very extensive: area. “Our troops suffered 300 casual­ ties, more or less, in dead or wound­ ed, because the crossing of the river over an improvisbed bridge. and the subsequent assault bad to be done under rebel fire. “I feel highly proud of the manner in which our soldiers scorned death in the action, which was an honor to tbe national army.” Jpanese Loan Will' Be~ Offered. New York.—Public offering of a Japanese government loan totaling be­ tween $260,00),OOO and $300,000,000 will be made by an international bank­ ing syndicate headed by J. P. Morgan and Company!, it was announced here. The bonds, which will yield about seven per cert, will be offered simul­ taneously in New York, London and on the continent. The major part of tbe loan will be offered it this' country and the American syndicate will be composed of leading bankers of the United States. It is understood that tbe pro­ ceeds will be used for reconstruction purposes and also for refunding opera­ tions. The British share of the issue will be offered in pounds sterling and the continental quota in ,dollars.. So far as is known, bankers said, this is tbe first time a large international loan has been offered on the continent in American currency. Jput to Death By Lethal Gas. Qarson City.—Lethal gas as a form of capital punishment was used for the first time when Gee Jon, Chinese, convicted of killing a Tival Tong man, was put to death. . Physicians and scientists who at­ tended the execution were unanimous in pronouncing a swift, painless meth­ od. Several of them said they con­ sidered it the most merciful form yet devised, less gruesome than bang­ ing, entailing, less suffering than shooting or beheading or any of the other traditional ways of execution. Capital Church Pays Tribute to Wilson. Washington.—Tribute .jvas paid to the memory of Woodrow Wilson in the Cfentral Presbyterian church here, where he had worshipped in his vig­ orous days. President and Mrs. Coolidge and many high government officials were present to hear tbe Rev. Dr. James H. Taylor deliver his sermon. “A Great Man Has Fallen,” and to listen to those hymns the dead President loved. They sat near Mr. Wilson’s flag 'raped pew, which is, to be in mourning for .30 days. Intimate glimpses into the life of the war President were'given by Dr. Taylor. Bergdoll Seeking Huge Sum For Hurts Berlin.—Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, draft dodger, wants $160,000 damages for injuries he received during the attempt to kidnap him, by a party, headed by Lieutenant Corliss Hooven Griffis, of Ohio. . Griffis recently was released from ■a. German prison, where he served a sentence for the attempted kidnap­ ping. Bergdoll also seeks $10,000 damages •tor the proprietor of the hotel In Baden where: he was stopping: at the time tor the attemtped Kidnapping. Pays to Keep Up- Testing of Cows In W e ll-M a n a g e d A sso c ia ­ tio n s T h ere Is G a in in A v e r a g e Y e a r ly Y ie ld . (Prepared by th* United State# Department ot Agriculture.) , As a result of the study of records of cow-testing associations in all parts of the country, the- United States De­ partment of Agriculture has. shown tbat In well-managed associations there is a gain In the average yearly production of cows from year to year. In other words, even though the poor cows are culled out at first, it. pays to keep everlastingly at it, as there is always an opportunity for profitable improvement. Averages Show Increase. To illustrate this, figures of butter- fat production for three associations, one each in Michigan, Ohio, and Penn­ sylvania, show that for the first year the average per cow was 237 pounds, I Ji Boys Learning to Make Babcock Test for Butterfat in Milk. for the second year it was 255 pounds, for the third year 278, for the fourth 292, and for the fifth year 305 pounds. The last year In the series showed an average production of 68 more pounds of fat than the first year. At 40 cents a pound this amounts to $27.20 a bead, and for a herd of 20 cows'the increased value would be $544 a year. Pure Breds Excel. Production records of- 17,405 pure­ bred, grade, and scrub cows showed that In milk production the pure breds and grades excelled the scrubs by 12.42 per cent, and In butterfat pro­ duction by 17.86 per cent. P r o te in s in S o u r M ilk A s s is t E g g P ro d u c tio n Some of the poultry departments at the agricultural colleges have been making experiments to find out why sour milk increase? egg production. A study of the analysis of sour skim milk showed it to contain 90.77 per cent water, 0.10 per cent fat, 3.93 per cent mlik sugar (lactose), 0.56 per cent lactic acid, 3.65 per cent protein and C.79 per cent milk ash or salts. It was assumed that water alone was not the stimulating factor. The fat content seemed too low, and the distribution of carbohydrates did not point to milk, sugar as a possible source of the problem. A comparison Was made of rations containing lactic acid, milk salts, pro­ tein-free sour skim milk and sour skim milk. The results’showed conclusively that lactic acid In tbe same solution as in sour skim' milk is valueless for egg production. Besides both milk salts and ash entirely failed to stimu­ late increased egg production. The results all seem to indicate that it Is’ the proteins or milk curd that is the valuable part of sour skim milk. ■For two years,, the protein-free sour sldm milk has not given as satisfac­ tory production as the sour skim milk. S ila g e in R a tio n W ill M a k e B ig M o n e y S a v in g It has been conclusively proved that SfJage In the ration makes a saving of considerable money. With dairy animals the feeding of siiage saves from 8 to 15- cents on 'the cost of producing a pound1 of butter and from 80 to 50 emits on producing ioo potois of milk. For beef production or the dstfening of .animals, the sav­ ing produced by silage is about $1 per 100 pounds gain, though several experiments show three and four times this figure. The average of $1 is therefore low ond conservative, when we consider the growing ■' of young stock, the feeding of dry cows and heifers, the wintering of work horses and mules. F arm A n im a ls L ik e R y e M ix e d W ith ' O th er F e e d Farm animkls are not fond of rye, but take lt wfllingly when mixed with other feeds.- Fed alone or in large amounts it is apt to cause digestive troubles. Fed in large amount to. dairy cows it produces a hard, dry. butter A limited amount gives good results Rye is not a palatable horse feed, but may be safely fed in small amounts with oats. It should be rolled' or coarsely ground. It resembles wheat In composition, but is of lower feed­ ing value than wheat or corn. Ground rye is worth about 94 per cent as much per ton as ground corn. C reosote W ill M a ke Posts M o re D u ra b le E sp e c ia lly T ru e o f S e v e ra l S o fte r V a r ie tie s o f W o o d . With wood becoming scarce and la­ bor more expensive farmers are find­ ing it necessary to use some, means of making their fence posts last longer. Experiments have shown that creosote will solve the problem. Prof. E. B. Gross of the New Jersey State College of Agriculture states that fence posts treated In creosote will last three to five times as long as untreated posts. This is especially true of the softer varieties such as willow, ash, elm, soft maple, white cedar and cottonwood.. Many consider it inadvisable to creosote the harder woods such as oak, red cedar and chestngt. It is . better to use round posts for creosotlng rather than split posts, as the penetration will be more uniform. AU bark must be stripped off and the timber well seasoned before creosot- ing. Creosote eight to ten Inches above the depth to which the post is to be set, since m ost' rotting takes place at or just below the ground line. Posts three or four inches in diameter at the top give best results as they are strong enough for most purposes and usually last as long as larger posts. It is Important to gfet thorough und deep penetration of the creosote. A good vat is made of 'an old steel bar­ rel set over a roughly constructed furnace. The creosote is kept at the boiling point and each, batch of posts is left In the vat about two hours, de­ pending on the rapidity of penetra­ tion. Gne inch penetration should be obtained. In order to determine thlr a post- may be split or sawed in twct. The tops of the posts are either dipped or painted., with hot creosote. A farmer having a woodlot may well spend a few days this winter catting posts. Next winter these post? will be properly' seasoned for creosotlng. A g r o n o m ist T e lls H o w to C o n stru ct P it S ilo . “The Pit Silo” is the title of bulle­ tin No. 288 Issued by the Colorado ex­ periment station and ready for free distribution. ItJs by John W. Sjogren, associate agronomist of Colorado Agri­ cultural college. Advantages of the pit silo are enumerated as follows: pit silos cost less to construct; there Is no trouble from feeding frozen ensilage; less power Is required In operating the ensilage cutter because It is not neces­ sary to raise the ensilage to any con­ siderable height. -Disadvantages are pointed out ap follows: The pit sfio cannot be economically constructed in regions where the soil has- a tendency to cave in. If the soil will not remain in an upright position, it will be necessary to construct a heavy retaining wall, and this will re­ quire almost as much material as building a silo, above ground. The en­ silage is more difficult to remove from the pit silo than from the -above­ ground type. This objection can be largely overcome by: constructing a good hoisting derrick. Another objec­ tion is the danger of the formation of a poisonous gas called carbon dioxide on the surface of the ensilage at filling time. R a te o f C rop Y ie ld a n d R e a l C o st o f P r o d u c tio n That a definite relation exists be­ tween the rate'of crop yield and cost of production is an established though perhaps not a generally ( appreciated fact. How definite that relation and the factors entering Into if are is an Interesting subject of investigation. . The Cornell (N. Y.) experiment sta­ tion has published the results of work done to obtain information regarding the production and costs of the princi­ pal canning crops of that state. The report contains'inforpiatldn on several crops, including tomatoes. While it Is not easy to ascribe credit properly to the various yield-increasing factors, be-' cause of the relatively great influence exerted by weather conditions, the ef­ fect of yield upon financial returns is quite apparent." On 47 farms that averaged from 8 to 11 tons of tomatoes , per acre, the money return -,was $65.00 per acre greater than on 55 farms averaging less than 8 tons per acre. ,-Moreover, on 31 farms averaging over 11 tons per acre, tbe increased return advanced to $146,00 per acre. The growers in the three groups made average labor incomes of 62, 20 and 91 cents per hour.

Farmers will do well to think- a- Ioiig the line of their own best in terests and especially, is this true oFfarmer* «1 IJorth Carolina who plant cotton. Tlie Fayetteville Ob­ server in a recent issue said ^hai the outlook iri that section was. fot au unusually large acreage the coming .season and that , pr.epara-- t ions' were ieingjm ade -for the purchase of I?eayy_ supplies of fer , tilizer. ' Following, this' statement the Observer said, “ Will it be wise to increase the acreage and buy heavily of fertlizei? Would it.nol be better 7;o rather decrease the a mount of. land planted to cotton while special effort is made to in­ crease the feed and 'food crops? The boll \Veevil menace is still to reckoned with, and it is not pro­ bable that weather cpriditiojas- which were unfavorable to .the grow.h of the-pest last year will be the same .his year.” Continuing ils remarks concerning the ' cotton crop situation the Observer says: The cooperative farm -niaketing plan, so far has been the lever which has kept up the prices of cotton, and it has kept up the price of cotton, and it is fair to presume that it wil do so in the . future. Should it 7 rove effectual, it would be fortune: for the farmers, as it is a noticeable fact that they cannot stand prosperity. If they do well one year, :hey rush, headlong into increased .icreage ,next year, with­ out stopping to consider all the pros and com of the situation Ca op«'ative iacketing-«:pj^reitoy>fr their salvation, and ‘ whether they should increase or decrease the. acreage, t iey should by all means depend 0 0 the cooperative system to put'them through. -This sU einent from the Fayette­ ville Observer is stronger than the facts would authorize ^Cooperative .arm marketing is-tlie solution of the troubles of the farmers insofar as the tro.ible of disposing of their products is concerned and every man who grows cotton or tobacco tliis year should depend upon the cooperative system for the market- iag of-his :rop. The Cottbri Grow­ er agrees with the Obierver in a further statemeiiU "Viewed from the proper angle, it should be .tne farmer’s aim to make his laud pro­ duce as heavily as possible-. -When he plants a field to:cottori, be should cultivate intensively, so- that a heavy yieid per acre may be the iesult.

HardtoKeepUp Stand oi Clover R e d u c tio n o f H u m u s a n d P la n t F o o d in S o il In ­ c r e a se s D ifficu lty . The mo»t serious problem at pres­ ent confronting the American' farmer In many of the clover ,sections Is the Increasing difficulty of successfully maintaining stands of clover, says the .United States Department of Agricul­ ture. With continuous cropping and the consequent reduction of the humus and plant food In the soil the difficulty of growing red clover Is greatly In­ creased. This condition must be met and solved;, since the loss of clover or Its equivalent from the rotation leads rapidly to a rundown farm and un-. profitable crop yields. Suggestions to r red clover culture based on many .years of observation study, and experimental work are pre­ sented In the new Farmers’ Bulletin 1339, Ked Clover Culture, Just issued by the United States Department of Agriculture. The method adopted In any locality for growing clover, says the bulletin, must depend on the ro­ tations followed and the labor and weather conditions .fn each .place. It may be emphasized, however, that to get a good stand the clover must have a fair chance. As usually seeded, too little attention Is paid to the weak­ ness of the young clover plant and Its needs. In the clover belt clover Is im­ portant en ough to warrant special care In selecting the seedlng 'mediod best suited to the special soil and to the other conditions prevailing. Eitsentials for Clover. Clover must have lime, phosphorus and potash, and if the soil is poor in ai^y of these It must be supplied be­ fore clover can be expected to do well. A deep well-drained soil is desirable, as on a poorly drained soil red clover will not thrive; tetter sow alsike clover on such soils If the drainage cannot be Improved to a suitable state for red clover. The questions of lime and fertilizers are largely local ones. The soils In the clover belt vary wide­ ly, and the various fields on the same farm may need different treatments. The most suitable treatment for each farm or Beld Is best determined by test, and this can be made without a great deal of'trouble. A diagram In ‘the bulletin illustrates how this 16 done by treating a series of experimen­ tal plats with the various .fertilizers. A Berles of plats, eight In number, is laid out In the field to be tested on, land as nearly representative of the entire field as Is possible to determine from observation beforehand. The first plat Is left untreated for a check and Is also th3 last In the row. Llme alone Is put on the second, lime and phos­ phate on Uie third, lime and manure on the fourth, manure alone on the fifth, manure and phosphate on the sixth anc phosphate alone on the sev­ enth. 'Tlie eighth plat Is left untreat­ ed, for a check. Find Best Fertilizer. This arrangement allows the appli­ cation of all the lime and all the ma­ nure to one continuous area. The phosphate alone must be appiled to separate areas, and phosphate is the easiest to apply. Potash plats can be Inserted If desired, but over most of the .cloviir area scarcity of phosphate Is much more common than’ scarcity of potas fi, and by following the outline presented the farmer Is likely to find which ftTtillzer Is best’ to use. A ton of ground iimestone and 250 to 30Q pounds of 16 per cent acid phosphate per acre is suggested unless the land Is known to be very .poor In lime, when tv7o tons of limestone may be applied. . A copy of this bulletin may be se­ cured, an long as the supply lasts, from the United States Department of Ag- rlcttturi!, Washington. F a rm M a c h in e r y R e c e iv e s A n y th in g b u t G o o d C are Farm machinery represents a large Investment on the part of American farmers, but still It represents- the one thing which gets the least care on the farm. The automobile, ieven the cheap little flivver, Is built, to withstand the ravages of the elements much better than Is the farm machine. Still, In nearly uvery instance, we find the little $400. flivver under the roof of a $300 Firage while the $1,000 tractor'or the $1,200- thresher stands out In the lot for the winter. There’s ,nothing logical, economical nor sound about the whole business and until we adopt some policy which embraces the better care of our tools of production on the farm, we can expect to be burdened down b£ our own overhead costs. The rem­ edy Is niowly being applied, but there's still lots of room for improvement and plenty of room for a. good Implement shed oa every farm. p o ta s h a n d P h o sp h o r ic A c id N e e d s o f T o m a to e s • Tomatoes require a relatively low percentage, of nitrogen as compared with phosphoric acid and potash, both of which, however, are essential In fruit development Commercial fer­ tilizer should be appiled In the drill, 600 to 1,000-pounds per acre, and thor­ o u g h l y m ixed with-the soil, before the plants are set, Nitrate of soda is rec­ ommended as a side dressing and should be applied atth e rafc> <*75 to tOO p o u n d s per acre. , Very heavy ap­ plication of stable manure,Is not ad- /lsed, as It majr prove harmful to ffntt tormaiion and ,development and often^ encourages rot. ---------- Ice. Cold Water Will Decrease Milk Flow G o o d fo r C o o lin g P ro d u ct, b u t R e ta rd s P ro d u ctio n . "Ice water ls excellent for cooling milk, but It Is no good for producing It,” says E. J. Perry, dairy specialist at the New Jersey State College of Agriculture. "A cow producing 40 pounds of milk per day requires approximately 120 pounds of water, and will drop off sev­ eral pounds In production if compelled to drink ice water. The effect upon digestion and milk secretion Is'always detrimental. "For a few dollars an .oil tank heat-' er can be purchased at most .hardware 'stores. 'Such a heater when correctly used will keep water at a proper tem­ perature, so that the cows will .drink a sufficient amount to enable them to make milk to the limit of their ability, assuming that the grain and roughage are sufficient In quantity and quality.’ It Is well for the temperature of the water to run from 50 to 60 degrees. A producing herd should be watered twice each day. It is difficult for a heavy-milking cow to drink enough water at one time to tal^e proper care of her dally milk and maintenance re­ quirements. This is especially true In winter. Mllk is 87 per cent water and frequency In drinking best insures heavy consumption in dairy cows. “Today the Individual drinking cups found In many up-to-date dairy barns greatly simplify the problem of water­ ing. Theae1 by enabling cows to drink small quantities qt water frequently, make the warming of the water un­ necessary. No part of the dairy barn equipment yields bigger returns on the. cost price than properly Installed drinking cups.” W O M E N ! W A R N IN G ! D O N T B E F O O L E D Beware!

The judge stands behind Mr. De WItt In every­ thing.” “Who is Jndge Davis?” “The president of the Diamond Fields Syndicate. And the landdrost.” “What’s that?" Winton asked. “The resident magistrate and, judge. Ton see, Malopo is really a native pro­ tectorate, and there Isn’t any legisla­ ture or law, so Judge DavIs can do anything he pleases. You are a stran­ ger, aren’t you? But you don’t speak like an Englishman.” 'Tm an American, and I know noth­ ing of tills country,” answeredgWlnton, “I. only landed a week-ago. • I came out- to"—he checked himself—“to take up a claim In Malopo.” They were bending -close toward each other. The creaking of the coach made their words inaudible to the others, who, having discussed the amazing incident to their satisfaction, had settled down to sleep through the glare and heat and dust. Winton cast a glance toward Daddy Seaton. The old man. having assuaged his thirst with plentiful gulps of whisky, was fast asleep In his comer. “You have made a terrible blunder," said the girl earnestly.- “You had bet­ ter take the next coach back. Beally, you had better, because nobody can fight the judge, and Mr. De Witt Is his right-hand man.” “We’li see,” said Winton grimly. “In the-mean time, won’t you tell me why —why he thinks he can'insult you?” She smiled wearily. “In a frontier settlement women do not expect cour­ tesies,” she answered. “On the contrary,” answered Winton. “I don’t believe these men”—be looked 'round the coach—“would not protect you in an emergency, unless—” He hesitated. Hb was getting Into deep water. The question was too personal. And Winton was beginning to. suspect ■ that the same fate which, had broken old Seaton had somehow changed the course of the girl’s life, though she was not spiritless like her father. There was about her an indefinable air of aloofness,-as if she had been driven In upon herself, as if some tragedy had robbed her of her right to happiness. And she had submitted, to De .Witt's lgrossness as If it had been Inevitable. The girl bent forward earnestly. • “I see you don't understand," she said. “In our frontier towns there are only two classes of women, those that , are ladles and those- that are—not. I antr- not These men could tell you—" OOKTtIGHT S r WG-CiiAPMAN “If De Witt, thinks he has any. hold over your*£ather—’’ Winton. began. The girL placed her hand on his sleeve. ’• “My father’s life is In his hands,” she said solemnly. “He killed a man.” She looked at him In fear, and then, as if resolving to trust him, continued : “He comes of a good English family, and—you’ll hardly believe it—he was onie an officer In the army. He got Into trouble and was dismissed. Then he settled down In the Colony. And then—this happened, and It broke him and ruined his life. When I can first remember Mm, we were wanderers all over the country. Father never stayed anywhere for more than six months.- He had no lriends of his own class. He became coarse in his speech like an uneducated man. And In time I dis­ covered that he lived In terror of Mr. De Witt. - “Five yeiirs ago we weVe living In Johannesbu rg. Father is an expert na­ tive linguist, and he was compound manager of. a mine'there. We had a little home, and we were happy, and I thought jfur troubles were at an end. Then &fr. De Witt met father and forced him tOj do some crooked work for him In connection with some of his mining interests. After that we started on our travels again. “We went to Malopo with the first ■ush of prospectors and stayed there a r. Then Judge Davis was ap­ pointed landdrost by the government, and went tliere to form the syndicate. We had known that Mr. De Wltt was connected with him, and he appeared soon after. Fnther urged me to Jeave. But I was tired of wandering, I had a position In a. hotel, and I thought father was safe after so long a time. Father went away without telling me; and afterward I got a letter from him in Rhodesia: Then Mr. De Wltt went to the United States, and I ‘wrote to father to return. “For a- Icng time he would not, but at last he* JelIeved that Mr. Db Witt was gone for good, and he arranged to come back to Malopo. • Then, three weeks ago, Mr. De Witt returned. He knew me, aid he—took a fancy to me. He promised me father should not be molested. I: went to Taungs yesterday to meet father, and—you know the rest." She shivered at the remembrances that came crowding In upon her, .Win­ ton remained silent for a few moments. But an instinct made him turn his head, and, looking across-the coach, he saw De Witt watching him and Sheila; and the hare and rage upon his face showed hlmi that, the fight of that day bad been only the first round In their conflict. f “I thank you very much for your confidence," he said to Shelia. “I hope to be your friend In Malopo.” She shook her head In warning, and, Ieuhing back, closed her. eyes. And they traveled on through the heat and dust, stopping only at the coach-stables, and eating indifferent meals of canned foods at wayside. stores. AU day the coach rolled through the desert toward the distant hills that never seemed any* nearer: Winton-slept by-snatches through a night that seemed unending, awakening at every bump and stop-' ping, until they came Into Malopo In the cold da an.. two stories, and here and there was a business building of three or even, four. Beyond the market square Winton cpuld see a little, new suburb ,of neat cottages, with the beginning- of gar­ dens, beside a rivulet, dry now,- but converted Into a torrent during the short rainy season,-- Large cisterns, holding and storing the single month’s rainfall during' tfte-remainder of the year, squatted upon the roofs. Beyond-this suburb ■ appeared a ris­ ing patch of desolate ground, rocky and scarred, out of which projected a suc­ cession of wooden superstructures, re­ sembling the scaffolding of innumerable small houses that were destined never to be completed. This was the dia­ mond ground. And' Malopo ended as unconventionally as It began.. It sat like an excrescence upon the desert, which came up to its doors. On one side of the great square Win­ ton .perceived the sign. “Continental Hotel” hanging from the. upper story of a fairly substantial building. He re­ solved to make this place his head; quarters for the time being, and,!dis­ covering that he could have a room and board for a pound a day, he or­ dered his trunk sent there. He did not sign his name In the* ink- stained register, and the clerk seemed Indifferent whether he did or i)ot. This was an act of common prudence, In his opinion, although he had nothing on which to base suspicions against any one,- except the' single. fact . that. De W ltt1 had given his own name to the diamond. But Winton had discovered, during his single week In South Africa, that human nature was pretty much the same as among the flotsam of American mushroom towns. ' His room was one of a long row at the back of the hotel, the brick floor innocent of covering, and the. bed of sheets. But it was a refuge, and, after bis trunk had arrived, Winton put some Important papers. In his pocket, got rid of the stains of his journey, and went out on the porch, or stoep. He found the place packed with men who ’were eagerly discussing what Winton soon gathered to be a diamond- theft. Hearing De Witt’s name men­ tioned, he unobtrusively joined the nearest of the groups. “It’s just some damned trick of the judge’s,” a man was. saying, “Him and De Witt are thicker than thieves— which they are, God knows! The De WItt stone never was stolen.” ' ” “Where is It, then? It was on ex­ hibit at the Syndicate bank, and It ain’t there now.” “Locked away In the safe, Scotty.” . “I tell " you It’s stolen. And they won't say nothing nor admit nothing at the bank. Just let you draw your con- "To be denied the right to'iinatle on the pavement is hatd.'$ir" ; CHAPTER 111 Ned Burns—Watchman. Tlie coacli deposited its half-frozen passengers In front of the office In the market square. “Miss Seaton, I’m going1-to help you and your father with your baggage," said Winton. “And I hope to be of service In any way that is possible.” He handed hef his card. Then he became aware that De Witt was stand­ ing close a; his side and looking over his shoulder.-. -He. turned angrily, .and the man moved away. Hnd he read the.name on.it?. It.did not matter; but Winton would have preferred t) maintain the advantage of being unknown, in view of the situa­ tion. He arranged to have his trunk held until he had found lodgings, and then, returning, found that Sheila and her father had .quietly disappeared. The busy day had begun. The slant­ ing beams at the rising sun -struck like shafts of gold upon the post office, across the square, In which the en; camped transport riders-were .prepar­ ing breakfast at numerous fires built in the tiny spaces. betweeD the wagons, with their spans of longhorns. Dust whirls were dancing everywhere, break­ ing against the buildings and envelop­ ing- those vrho happened to be passing. Tlie storeti were opened, carts were, driving back from the market, hawkers and peddlers- w-ere afoot with their wares. — Malopo was7 about as large as Taungs,. but, "being a boom town, and not a railroad one, had a cleaner, and 'more prosperous aspect, though -the old-dothes shops were almost as plenti­ ful. Many of the-brick houses-were. of elusions. Now, If it was a trick, wliy shouldn’t the* bank be spreading the story faT and wide?” _ ; “Why should De Witt want people to- think his, stone- was'stolen, If It ain’t?” “God itnowBi Some scheme of the old judge’s.’’ , . , .^. “But the judge ' don’t own the Btg- Malopo claim!” He will,” said a pock-marked man with a quiet emphasis. “Ever know the syndicate to go after anything and not get It?” “Who In thunder does own Big Ma­ lopo?" “American firm, ain’t it?” “I heard De Wltt unloaded his shares on some bunch -of fools In New York before the big stone was found, and now he’s kicking himself.” The advent of a negro man, carrying a sheaf of copies of the local paper, just from the press' checked the dis­ cussion. A staring head-line announced the; robbery/of the big diamond. , . “Now,-, now, i gentlemen, there are copies enough for all,” remonstrated the negro; and Winton, reaching for a paper, took In his appearance with a glance of amusement.- Hd was a young negro-man, appar­ ently In nis early twenties. He was dressed with a scrupulous attention that put the clothes of the hotel visit­ ors to blush. A soft felt hat of daz­ zling whiteness sat upon his crisp locks. His wrists -showed two ex­ panses of snow-white,cuffs that rivaled the brilliancy of his Immaculate collar. A black tail-poat and. waistcoat, gray: trousers, pressed to . the compresslon- limlt of the cloth- and patent-leather, shoes completed his attire. . But'his accent puzzled Winton; The tones that emanated from the young man’s throat were exactly those of the stlffest and most precise of gentlemen reared1 In the sacred atmosphere of an English university..- - . “Is this news straight; ASam?’-* In­ quired one, o f. the-flcluster, who were busy reading the account-of the rob­ bery. - , “The Chronicle Is. very strong on veracity, Mr. Elfridge/’ replied the ,negro; hitching , up his trousers at the k n e e s before stooping.Qk search of a* elusive • coin. - . “I bet Van Vorsp1Is at the bottom of this,” remarked one of .the group.. Winton scanned his copy hastily. It waB a four-page edition, In which Beuter cable dispatches, telegraphed and local news Jostled advertisements promiscuously. ■ The front page, which was devoted entirely to the account of the robbery; stated that the De Witt diamond had disappeared from the safe of the* Syndicate bank at some time during the preceding night. The rob­ ber, who had probably worked with a confederate, had somehow learned the combination of the lock, had opened the safe, taken the stone, and walked away With ’ it.' No - suspicion -rested upon any of the bank employees, In spite of the discovery of the comblna-. tlon, and the robber was undoubtedly one of the number of strangers In Malopo. -Fortunately his ’ discovery could be only a matter of a short time, iiinpp -the police were - carefully scruti­ nizing the outgoing coaches and -wagons. Winton folded up the sheet. “A story like that wouldn’t pass muster anywhere- else,” he reflected. “I be­ lieve ItJs a trick, unless De WItt or one of the heads of the' bank Is re­ sponsible. And it’s my diamond—four; fifths of It I” The Irony of the situation made him smile; and then he"became aware of a smiling black ,face In close proximity to pis own; ’ “I don’t believe I received my ttckey, sir,” said Sain. ‘Your what?” asked Winton. ., “Three pence, sir.” Winton, remembering the colloquial name of the unit of currency In the up- country regions, produced a three­ penny bit from his pocket and handed it to the ‘‘boy,” who Ihankedi him'cour­ teously. “You: are an American, sir?” he in­ quired. ■ ' y “I am," said Winton. “And you, if I may Inquire?” “Barbados bred, sir, Where they speak the-purest English, sir. We are an altogether superior class to your, own colored population, sir.” ... > “Well, Fve known some, pretty de­ cent colored people In my own coun try,” said Winton in amusement. “Possibly, sir. But you must recog­ nize that our ancestors obtained their emancipation a generation before yours, sir, JVe have rid ourselves of our primal instincts, sir.” ‘Tm glad to hear that,”- said Winton. -By the way, where Is this Big Malopo claim?” “Three miles out, sir. I shall be very pleased to show you the way If you plan to go there.” ‘TH 'be obliged, Sam. ' You’re not busy?” v “No, sir. My literary labors begin at three this, afternoon. We are a morning-. newspaper, . This was ■ an extra, and I have completed my round.” They strolled across- the market square toward the suburb. Winton, amused and interested ip his com­ panion, drew him out further. “Your literary labors; I take it, Sam, consist in selling the copies of the Chronicle?” Be asked. “No, sir. I am subeditor. Indeed, if I may say so without offense, the style, not to say spelling, of ^ur paper would be considerably ‘off,’: as they saylt- with­ out my services.” . , ' ' " ‘And part of your-duty-consists In selling copies?” ' “Outside the office, sir, I am simply a negro,” said Sam, without any trace of bitterness. “/ -Sm a Stoic, and I recognize conditions. And yet it Is hard. I emigrated to this country, sir, with the idea of being of social service among*" men of' my race. I found myself a pariah. Perhaps, yon do not know, sir,- that the chief justice of Trinidad was a colored man?” “No,” said Winton. “But I’m glad to hear it. What do they do to you, Sam?”. ‘They are unable to discriminate be­ tween the colored aboriginal population and the negro of culture," said Sam. •“I; realize;that In this imperfect- world - certain prejudices as" to color exist. I accept them. But for a British sub­ ject from a civilized land to be denied the right to waik on the pavement Is hard, sir.” - “But there Is no pavement,” said Winton, bewildered. “Not at present, sir. But if there were a pavement, I should still be sub­ ject to the disability imposed upon these raw savages. In the same way the sale of.alcoholic liquors Is-forbid­ den to me, sir;” ' . . *-. “Oh, cheer up!” said Winton en­ couragingly. “Anybody can get a drink anywhere.” “I am a teetotaler, sir,” responded- Sam. “I was taking exception to the principle, not to its application. As a colored British subject, I should not be subjected to laws passed for the dis­ ciplining of savages.” . “They ought to bo more discriminat­ ing,” admitted Winton. , ,"Thank you, sir” said Sam warmly. “I hold that, when a man has shed his primal instincts, that fact should be recognized.” • “You have no primal Instincts?” “None,' sir, that are peculiar to the Bantu race. I am a man like you, but not a savage.’.’ VNot especially fond .of chicken, Sam?” asked Winton; and then he re­ gretted his speech, afraid that he had hurt his companion’s feelings. But Sam took the words wlch his cus­ tomary smile. ‘They’re golqg to wind up and turn the Big Malopo over to the syndicate.” (TO BB CONTINUED.)

Compulsory shaving and the close- rropping of hair were signs of degra­ dation. This, is borne out by Assyrian sculptures, wbicl) always show kings with beards and long haid and slaves with close-cropped hair and clean­ shaven faces. TIie Egyptians, however, had differ­ ent ideas. They considered that hair was a source of dirt and shnved both face and head.' Their slaves and serv­ ants were compelled to do the same. The early Greeks and Romans shaved off their'beards'because they gave the enemy a good hold in hand-to- hand fighting! It is recorded that Al­ exander the Great ordered his soldiers to shave for this reason. It was the custom among Romans to shave off the beard at the agd of twenty-one nnd present it as an offer­ ing to the household gods. A beard was grown after that age only as a sign of mourning.—London Tlt-Bits.

MORGAN TURNS OVER FA­ THER’S VAST COLLECTION OF i bo o k s; BIFT TO. BE k MEMOniAL Believed GreatestPrivate Collection in Existence; Makes $1,500,000 Endowment New York.—J. P. Morgan announced that as a memorial to his father,, the late J. Pierpoht Morgan, he had turn­ ed over his magnificent library, its valuable contents, and the ground .up­ on which it stands, to a board of trus­ tees who are entrusted with its main­ tenance in perpetuity for tffe use of scholars from all parts of the world. The collection, believed to be Ae best in private hatfds in existence, was estimated by. Mr. Morgan to be worth in the vicinity'.of $7,000,000.. With it he gave an endowment of $1,500,000. In addition he waived all personal and legal rights . to : the ,property. The library, which is to be desig­ nated “The Pierpont Morgan Library,” was first assembled by the late J. Pierpont Morgan In 1905 and housed In a building opened the following year on a tract of land extending from East 36thto East 37th streets, between Madison and Park avenues. With the additions which have been made by Mr. Morgan since the death of his father in 1913, it contains 25,- 000 books .and manuscripts of which 10,000 are rare or unique. ■ “My father's intense interest and satisfaction in the library which , he left me,” said Mr. Morgan, “makes it a peculiar fitting memorial to him. It is- • a memorial which keeps alive the momory of his love of rare books and manuscripts and hi? belief in the educational value of- the collection which he had gathered.” Dispose of 119 Prohibition Cases Daily.

From facts which had come to the department of justice, he said, it was apparent Aat his office was getting larger cases; that it was trying them more promptly and that it was secur­ ing much heavier penalties. • Expressing amazement at the vol­ ume of business which the federal courts have'been able to handle, the attorney general explained that more- Aan 155,000 cases had been concluded, of which 92411 or about 80 per cent resulted in convictions and fines ag­ gregating $15,726,593.

Sparrow of tie cruiser Tacoma, wreck­ ed at Vera Cruz,-lost his life while endeavoring to aid men of his crew who had been imperiled with him in the destruction of the ship’s ' radio house in the great storm that made a complete loss of the cruiser. Full details of the ' second storm, which struck the cruiser after she had been driven aground by the first north-, er encountered, have not reached the navy department. A naval board- of inquiry is new in session at-Charles­ ton, S. C., going into all the clrcue- stances surrounding the wreck. A partial account of what happened aboaTd the Tacoma January 16, when the second norther struck the strand­ ed craft, became available at the navy department, however, and shows that Captain Sparrow and another of­ ficer and. four radio operators were in the radio room endeavoring to main­ tain communication with shore. “While so employed," the memoran­ dum said, "tbe continual pounding of the heavy seas which were breaking aver the vessel finally destroyed the tadio house and threw the occupants out amongst the wreckage on deck. Captain Sparrow and the others man- aged with great difficulty to obtain temporary shelter in the hammock nettings, where they were '.almost drowned by the continual wash of the seas. ‘ "Captain Sparrow, believing that the men. were less protected than he was, went to their rescue, 'which prov­ ed to be the beginning of his own end. When he left his temporary shelter he was badly knocked about by the heavy seas and finally became uncon­ scious. Two attempts were made by others to rescue him and these men in turn were either lost or seriously in­ jured so that of tbe six orginally in the radio house Captain Sparrow and three radio men were killed and the others very seriously injured ’’ Export Figures Reflect a Gain.

AWAIT ACTION OF CONGRESS Officials Doubtful That They Can Get Sanction of Congress In Time to Make Flight This Year. Washington. — President Coolidge.. ordered preparation for the naval- north pole expedition suspended. By direction of the President Secre­ tary Denby sent out orders bringing all preparations for the flight of the Shenandoah to an abrupt stop pend­ ing-some form of congressional ap-' proval of the project. A white house spokesman intimated that if such.approval was forthcoming, preparations would be resumed im­ mediately. Nayal officials were frank­ ly doubtful, however, that they could obtain congressional sanction in time to carry out the flight this year: The decision of the President was announced In the following statement issued by Secretary Denby: “Orders to cease preparations for the polar expedition were issued by the secretary of the navy. The Presi­ dent, having been informed that con­ siderable opposition existed to the re­ quired expenditure of $350,000, in­ structed the department not to pro­ ceed with the expedition at this time nor until' the naval bills have been considered and Congress given an op­ portunity, if it desires, to express its views upon the polar expedition.” Mr. Denby would not amplify. the statement. At the white house, it was Baid that the President, in view of opposition io.-the flight that had Ie- veloped in Congress, believed it wise to await action by that body .to show its approval of the expenditures nec­ essary to carry out the plans. The white house explanation sug­ gested that a request had been sub­ mitted for authority to, spend $400,- 000 on the polar1 expedition. The pending naval bill, now in the house, contains no item of this character, however, nor was it clear, to what specific authorization the white house spokesman had reference. ' ; . U. S.

EILDED MUMMY CASE FODND LID OF STONE CASKET IS, RAISED AND NOTABLE FIND IS * DISCLOSED. Egyptian Officials- May Call Ceremony to Pay Ancient Riiler Honor. Luxor, Egypt.—The lid of Tut-Ankh- Amen’s saerophagus has been raised. It is understood the body of the king was found within. When the lid was raised there was revealed’ the most splendid gilded mummy case ever found in Egypt. It is about three metres long. The mummy case bears an effigy in relife of the king wearing the “nems,’’ or sacred head dress like that of the Sphinx, decorated with the head of a.hawk and a serpent in pure gold set with lapis lazuli. The hands are crossed, one ,bearing a crook sceprre and the other a flail. A pathetic touch is given the.effigy by a little crown of Withered natural flowers set about the gold head dress. The royal mummy case has not yet been opened. Apaprentl ythe decision that the opening of the sarcophagus would be strictly private was changed during the morning. Shortly before 3 o’clock a distinguished company of some twenty persons assembled in the well of the tomb. It was 3.05 o’clock when, escorted by Mr. Carter, the party entered the tomb and soon there came to the ears of the watch­ ers, Who sat on the parapet in a.blaz­ ing sun, the clank of pulleys and the souhd of ropes slipping, through the blocks. At 4.15 the. party emerged from- the .tomb.— ' • .......Y . .--s Experts characterized the disclosure of the mummy case as the greatest discovery in the history of Egyptology, or possibly in all archeology. The lid of the great pink stone coffin was raised about two incheas, during a test of' the hoisting machin­ ery, which has. been erected- in the mortuary chamber by Howard Car­ ter, and his assistants, but no attempt was made to disern the contents, as it had been agreed to have Egyptian government representatives at - the opening.

Memphis- Tenn.—Inauguration of a plan proposing reclaimation of George Washington university by the Bapitist church and discussions of foreign and home mission work, stressing the act­ ivities of the laymen, were the out­ standing features of the ■ closing ses­ sion o f the southwide' conference of Baptist laymen here.' The plan to reclaim George, Wash­ ington university took definite shape ■when the conference named- a com­ mittee to confer with a similar com­ mittee to be appointed by the' South­ ern Baptist convention when it meets in Atlanta in May. The'two commit* tees will be instructed to ,consider- the proposition and formulate* a definite plan by which the church may regain control of the Washington institution. The layment’s committee is composed of Congressman B. G. Lowrey,. of Mis- sissippi; Congressman W. D. !Upshaw, of Georgia, and J. H. Anderson off Knoxville, Tenn. •- The discussion of the missionary work conducted by the church in home and foreign fields covered a wide range. Dr. J. T. Love, secretary of the church’s foreign mission' board Btated that the Baptists were conduct- ing misslon work in 16 countries. Ex- tension of the activity into seven hew fields, he said, had been made possible by the response to the $75,000,000 campaign inaugurated four years ago. More intensive evangelization of the south in order that the church might take care of their _ work at home and at the. same time,’provide the neces­ sary support for the work ■ abroad, was urged by D. B. Gray, of Atlanta, secretary of the Mission board. Dr*. Gray declared that more than $21,000,. 000 would be expended by less than 500 Baptist congregations of the south this year for new churches and addi­ tions to present buildings. Mission churches': will spend even more, he said, explaining that such expeditures will be' independent of the $75,000,000 campaign through which the church proposes to raise $27,000,000 this year.

Will Fight For Fair Freight Rates; Announces Eleven Policies and. Principles; Does Not Overlook the Machine. To the DemocrJtLic Voters of North Carolina: I shall be a candidate In the pri­ mary, June 7, 1924. tor the nomina­ tion of the Democratic party for Rovernor of Norbn Carolina. The office of Governor is a post of service, not a personal prize. It would bq better nut to aspire to It than to obtain i t . by means other than the voluntary motion-of tho peo­ ple, m the interest of the common good. I ask them carefully to con­ sider and conscientiously to vote, and I shall have no cqjnplaint to make of any one s ^decision. A candidate lit a primary must rely upon the impression he has. made and the cause he represents. He cannot recommend himself. I have.been act­ ive In public affairs for 30 years, have all my life been interested in public questions, have always been a Demo­ crat, .and since 1908 have had the honor to be one. of the party's speaks ers in every campaign. This fact im­ poses no obligation. I mention it as evidence- of my interest in the party and in our Commonwealth. If the ser­ vice was rendered in expectation of office, it was unworthy. But there has been no such expectation. I am now a candidates because I believe -there IB a service to be rendered— a cause to represent. ^ I have not been thrust forward as the candidate of any group or faction. I hope that one consequence of my candidacy will be to put an end to fac­ tional sway in the Demooratic party and to reveal the power of the voters themselves in the primary. The primary, rather than the elec­ tion. determines the State’s, policy. So far as I am concerned, we shall have a contest not- for a personal honor or reward, but a contest for public causes. It is my intention that my candidacy shall represent the-fol­ lowing policies and principles. Policies and Principles 1. The demand of justice and the common welfare, that land shall be relieved of the unjust share of the burden of taxation now imposed upon it. This mav be done, and must be done. LancL ought to bear its fair share of taxation, and no more. The burden now upon our farms and small homes is greater than can be borne. 2. To foster all that makes for real progress—roads, both State and-coun­ ty, free schools, educational and chari­ table institutions, departments, hedlth service,.etc.; and, while fully apprais­ ing the value of our Industrial and material development, also to lay a necessary emphasis upon those moral and spiritual factors without which there can-be no real progress or pros­ perity. The primary offers to the Commonwealth its best opportunity to draw upon the moral i and spiritual force resident in the people; and, therefore, not only presents the people with a vital opoprtunlty, hut imposes upon them a great duty. 3. To preach and practice a sound economy—to spend where spending is jrequired; to save where saving is !practicable; and to strive to get a .dollar’s worth- of public service for levery dqllar of taxes paid, to the end Ithat the burden of taxation may be {made as light as possible without Im- jpairlng the State’s magnificent prog­ ress. There ought-to be a reduction !Of taxes. In one aspect the State is ja business institution, and its business 'ought to -be conducted upon sound 'business principles. : -4. To put an end to special favors land special privileges; to treat the !powerful justly, to be sure, Dut like ;wise to see to; it that the weak are treated also with justice. For -ex­ ample, to grapple with the common carriers and to exact of them a square deal in the matter of freight rates. For another example, to assure the humb­ lest worker of-a Commonwealth's sym­ pathy in his struggle to do better by himself and . Oiis loved ones, and in that sympathy to match- its power against all the powers - that would crowd him down. For anoEher, to IIlna pf an agricultural situation that Str rectnly involves hjaIf our population, and Indirectly, but .none the -less vit­ ally, affectii every; one.*.The- next great public step In this StatevwUl be that of esbvblishing our farmers In a system of lust and sure .rewards for honest toil; of encouraging ,land-own- ership; of making rural life, attrac­ tive. This is the most practical of all our possibilities of progress. It is in­ dispensable to progress; ^ 7. -To establish election and pri­ mary laws that will put and end to the power of money In politics, that/Will prevent coe-cion,-and-ensure fair play. It'is of the essence of freedom, that elections shall be free, and every vote counted. Our political standards are 60 years behind the"material, moral,.and spirit­ ual progresu of the State. With all our progress, lot us now'progress a little politically. 8, To set the'trend In North Caro- in the direction of Local Self- Government: to alter the tendency to concentrate power at Raleigh; to give to our counties the largest practicable control in the conduct of affairs. - 9 The Democratic party is the ac­ cented mean s of expressing the will of the niajontj - of"!"our people. It has made thedfe IO years a great Tecord of service. In order that it may con­ tinue to serve, it must ever renew ita spirit by direct contact with- Us con­ stituents. It must, In order to main­ tain its hold upon -the confidence of the people, encourage full disclosure of the facts, free discussion of public, policies, and honest criticism of offi­ cial conduct. The patty is the people’s institution, tie-vehicle of their will. It belongs to no faction or group. “The Machine.” 10 Tb*asi.ert m - the Democratic oarty the 'control of its constituents and- therefore, to break down, a politi­ cal machine that seeks power-only to serve -itself, and that arrogantly and 'gnorantly boasts the power to kill md make alive—in manifest hope of impressing the timid. Responsibility in free government must always be to the people, and only to. the people. Lmblic servanis selected by bosses and machines are selected to serve bosses and, machines. I need not call attention to the fact that the self confessed political ma- -Iiine in this State has for months spread it abroad that I would not be a candidate m tae'face of its opposition, save for the purpose of remarking that this announcement is an acceptance of that challenge. To be sure, it is much more than that. So-far as I hnow, the only active op­ position to my candidacy is. that of the political machine. I am ready to reckon with this opposition. A poltical machine is an organiza­ tion of politicians holding office and controlling patronage, who seek to maintain themselves in power by or­ ganization anc patronage, rather than by the freely-expressed will of the people. The existence Of a political machine is a challenge to free men and women. It exists upon the theory that the people are incapable of self-govern­ ment. . . We do not have to prove the exist­ ence. «i the politcai machine in this State. It.is self-confessed. Its.mem­ bers speak of themselves as “the Ma­ chine.” Only by direct political action may free peoples maintain their rights and obtain justice. • The Way. ' v 11. The way to public economy, Just freight rates, justice in taxation, and agricultural relief lies- m unrelenting assertion of the will of the people. If shippers and consumers - .want fair freight rates, they will assert them­ selves in the primary, and 'choose their-own servants, in 'the present crisis. If our farmers want a square deal, let them; assert themselves in the primary. - If Labor seeks to ad­ vance the cause,of the workers, let them know thi.t the primary is their opportunity.- It the people desire to govern themselves and not be govern­ ed by a machine, the primary is the battle-field upon which their- power must be manifested. Stay in the Party and fight for the right In the nrimary. ^Jhen is only one day In any two years, in which, the people rule— that day now approaches, it will come and go June 7, 1924. I have-set out the foregoing eleven statements as of the essence of my candidacy. Th sy are necessarily, con­ densed. I havu prepared a full state­ ment touching many subjects, to be subntitted later. -1 shall, of course, readily disclose such views as I may have upon any matter of public policy. . .There - BhouId be no question as to the manner o:.’ -campaign we' shall have. It ought to make for intelligent decision upon 'he questions involved. It should bear fruit'not so much In the nomination: of a candidate as In the determination of 'public policy. There should be more of light than heat. The object ever to be kept in view - is the will of -the people for the welfare of the Commonwealth—4 that is; of all.

St. Petersburg, Fla.—Charged with wiping out the four members of his family, two by two, on dates exactly one year apart, Frank McDowell, 19 years old is confined in the Pinel­ las county jai.'. at Clearwater to await •trial in cfne of the most amazing murder cases In southern criminal records. The youth signed a confession ad­ mitting that he shot and killed Mr. and Mrs. J. M!. McDowell, his parents, and that he caused the fire in which Marion, 18, and Willemage, 16, his two sisters, perished at Decatur, Ga., February 19, 1923. In the storr which he repeated three times to- Chief of Police George M. Coslick and Chief ot Detectives John Trotter, Frank said his mind became "hazy” at times and that dur­ ing these spells he was obsessed with the hallucination that the members of his family were, followers of the anti- Christ. Tracink the origin of these “hazy” spells, Frank said that, when he was 12 years old lie blasphemed the "Holy Ghost” and that since that time he has been trying to expiate his sin, but he did not explain of what this “blas­ phemy” consisted. This “blasphemy” occurred on a February 19, he said. Every year since when the anniver­ sary of this “blasphemy” approached, Frank said, Iiis mind became erratic and he believed his family to be allied with the anti-Christ. These delusions continued annually until one year ago he felt that he must kill his sisters in order to atone for his "blasphe­ mous” sin. After he had started the fire in which his sisters perished, Frank said his mind returned to rationality and he was appalled at the crime he had committed, but did not reveal it to anyone. Wlien February 19 of this year came near, he felt that the death of his parents was a sacrifice demand­ ed as penance for the killing .of his sisters, he said. Explaining the Decatur, Ga., fire, Frank said that he crept into the room occupied by his sisters, saturate ed the bed. clothing with gasoline, fired the inflammable mass with coals carried from" the family hearth, and fled from the house when the blaze flared up, locking all exits behind him. Although the house did not burn to the ground, the room in which the ,two girls slapt was destroyed. Frank sail he went to sleep on his couch in a room adjoining' that of his parents without any definite thought of violence to Mr. and Mrs. McDowell. He dreamed, he said, that he was commanded to accomplish the destruction of his father -and. mother. He said the dream was so compelling that when t.e awoke he arose from his bed, went into the next room and fired five shots tit Mr. and Mrs. McDowell. k f mm I— . ■ III Marlon Star Files Slander Suit.

Coolldge Delivers Address By Radio. Washington.—rPresident Coolidge1 in a radio address delivered from the White' House, combined with a tribute to Washington an appeal to the Ameri­ can people to accept the responsibil­ ities and continue the sacrifices neces­ sary, to make enduring the institutions which Washington founded. Mr. Coolidge described the part played by Washington in the founding of the American government and de­ clared he accomplished the results “by accepting great responsibilities and making great sacrifices.” “If we are to maintain the institu­ tions which he founded, if we are to improve what he created, we must continue to accept responsibilities, we must continue to/ make sacrifices," the President said. “Under all the laws ot God and man there is no other way.” The address was delivered by the President in his study in. the White House and was made by invitation of Rotary International, members of which recently asked that the Presi­ dent deliver an address in observance of the anniversary of the founding of Rotary. Eincpln, Neb.—William M. Morn­ ing, 56, veteran district judge, was shot and killed in his courtroom by, Wallace G .'Wallick, who in turn shot and killed himself.

A Gain Entrance to Tut Tomb. Luxor, EgyiJt. — After remaining closed nine days the tomb of Tut- Ankh-Amen. was forcibzly opened by •the Egyptian government. A guard of soldiers was drawn up and many tourists were present The minister of works ordered Pierre Lacau, of the Egyptian anti­ quities department, to open the tomb and great excitement prevailed at Luxor, It was known to every one that Howard Carter, representing the Carnarvon expedition, would not sur­ render the keys to the* locks which secured the doors of the tomb, and that the government officers must cut the locks to gain entrance. Mr. Carter not having replied to the ultimatum o f, the government within the 48 hours specified, inviting him to opend the tomb and resume work under certain conditions, the Cabinet cancelled'.the license originally grant­ ed to Lord Carnarvon and ordered the re-opening of the tomb immediately, as it was feared great damage might result through the ropes breaking and allow ing-the'heavy granite lid sus­ pended over the sarcophagus, to fall and perhaps irreparable damage the magnificent gold-covered coffin within. Son’s Victims Laid to Rest. Acworth, Ga.—Bodies of Mr. and Mrs. John M. McDowell, parents of the boy slayer, Frank McDowell, who he confessed he- murdered Tuesday night as they slept in the McDowell home, at St. Petersburg, Fla., arrived here. . They were interred in a.single^grave and laid to rest in the same burial plot in the little cemetery one pile from town, where exactly one . year ago, the. bodies -of their .two-dSu.^itters —slain as they, slept by their bother Frank—were buried. ' ; ;' Louisville, Ky.—Six ‘men, - two of them suspected automobile bandits and alleged escaped convicts ,and four city - policemen, “nursed bullet wounds as a result of a desperate bid for free­ dom by the gunmen which included a running pistol fight through traffic- thronged streets' in the heart of the downtown district here. The- pistol battle was initiated by Lee Wallace, 23, Franklin, Ind., and Rex Stacey, alias Harry MiIlerj 23, St. Louis, Mo., when tliey suddenly drew weapons, wounded four policemen who were guarding them, leaped: from an automobile Satrol as the machine approached police headquarters, and darted away. Police and detectives joined in pursuit and hundreds ot per­ sons, pedestrains, occupants- of street cars and - automobiles and workers in office buildings, attracted by the sound of firing, witnessed the spectacular chase. Flight of the gunmen was cut- short by bullets from the service pictol of Detective W. J. Diehl, who was par­ ticipating in a liquor raid when he heard shots and saw the two men running In his direction. Neither Wallace or any one of the policemen was wounded seriously. Hospital reports, however, were that Stacey’s condition was critical'. His most dangerous wound was caused 'by a ' bullet that pierced his back and lodged in his stomach. The men had been arrested at garage a short distance from police headquarters when they -called for an automobile police said was stolen from Indianapolis, Wallace, officers said, told them he and Stacy escap ed from the State reformatory at Pen­ dleton, Ind., last month. Washington.—Under an award ot the German-American mixed claims commission involving only part of the ■claims arising from the sinking of the British liner Lusitania, the German government must pay approximately $1,000,000 reparation for losses susta -i- ed by Americans through death, in­ jury, property damage, or otherwise, in that disaster. The decision was handed down by Judge Edwin B. Par­ ker, umpire of the commission, in- 57 cases, - representing only the firsf group of Lusitania claims. Eighty-eight separate awards were made, the amounts in the cases in­ volving property damage or destruc­ tion, carrying 5 per cent interest a year, dating from May 7, 1915, when the Lusitania was sunk, to the date of payment, and those in the deatb eases the same Interest dating troth November I, 1923, when the commis­ sion handed down its opinion in the cases determining the measure ot dam­ ages. Forty claims were denied. In handing down his decision, Judge Parker made a brief statement of the facts in each case and applied them to the rules laid down in the Lusita­ nia opinion of November I. The cases came to him for decision be­ cause of disagreement between the American commissioner, Charles P. Anderson, and the German commis­ sioner, Wilhelm Kiesselbach. / In the death cases, according to the opinion, the basis of damages was not the value of a life lost or the loss sustained by the estate of the dece­ dent, but the losses to claimants re­ sulting from the death, “in so far as such losses are susceptible of being measured by pecuniary standards.” The largest award made total was in the case of Mrs. May Davies Hop­ kins Gilmer and May Davies Hopkins, who were allowed claims totalling $130,000. Mrs. Gilmer at the time of the Lusitania disaster, was the wife of the president of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock company. Mr. Hopkins, her husband, was 44 years old when he went down with 127 other American on the big liner. She has since remarried. t csfag Mustang LIniffieot > for rtmfly ailments, and for Uvastodc aad poultry. Lron Mfp. Co., 42 Booth FiftbSt.,Brook* &O.N.Y.

Paris.—The expert committeemen examining Germany’s resources have reached a general agreement on their report to the reparation commission according to information from author­ itative quarters. They have decided it is stated, that instead of the ’formid­ able Iqan to be. placed on the inter­ national market previously suggested, a m’ortgage of approximately ten bil lion gold marks on the German rail­ way system and other sources of rev­ enue of the German g6vernment shall form the basis of a plan by which tSe allied countries, especially France, will derive regular payments of inter­ est. ' ~- The mortgage -bonds to be issued would be a first lien on the railways and be divided among Germany’s cred­ itors on the basis of the percentage adopted at" the Spa conference in_J920 .—France, 52 per cent; Great Britain, 26; Italy, ten; Belgium, eight, with the remaining four per cent divided among the other allies. A relatively small international loan will also be recommended to help Ger­ many set up the proposed national gold issue bauk. In this loan Ameri can financiers will be asked to invest. Its amount remains to be fixed but it will probably not exceed $500,000,000. If (he plan is accepted by the Allied governments part of this loan will be offered in the American market. Co-Operatives Announce Payment. Richmond/ Va.—Directors of the Tobacco Growers Co-operative asoscia- tion meeting here, authorized a sec­ ond payment—which will amount to $900,000 or more—to Sojith Carolina gfowers who have delivered tobacco to'the association this year, Oliver J.

I eat chicken," he acknowledged. “But I am certainly not what might be termed remarkably at­ tached to chicken.” They ptssed between the rows of little cottages, crossed the dry river course, which was unspanned by any bridge, and saw the diamond fields in front of them. The appearance of the district was striking. Beneath the red sand, which had been piled up into long ridges, the bases propped up with boarding, were bright patches of yel­ lowish clay, the diamond-bearing stratum, and under this, it was hoped, would be found the famous blue ground indicative of the volcanic funnels, in which diamonds are formed of carbon under terrific pressure. ' No blue ground, had yet been struck; its existence was, however, almost a certainty, since the yellow clay is mere­ ly the blue ground decomposed. The yellow patches, extended on either side as far as the eye could reach. All along this depression in the ridge build- tags were under construction. Here and there, where more substantial progress hud been made, pits yawned, bridged by plank roads, and endless windlasses, from which buckets were lowered to bring up the diamond-bear­ ing soli, stood ranged In disorderly array. The ropes from these wind­ lasses, extending into the pits in every direction, gave their sides the appear­ ance of dills covered with huge spider webs. . On daims more recently taken up men were bard at work with picks, or washing tl.e clay In cradles. Nobody paid the least attention to the way­ farers. Wlnton’s 'companion led him along the road that ran the length of the claims. Here and there were to be seen native gangs herded within the barbed wire tangles of their com­ pounds. At length the desert reap­ peared. Sam stopped. “This is the Big Malopo, sir,” he said. -Winton looked in front of him. He saw a small shack, a patch of yellow ground, and many coils of bathed wire that had not yet been set up. There, .was nothing more. , “The Dc Wltt diamond was picked up right here, sir,” said Sam. lHow fur does the claim extend?” asked Wlr.ton. “What are those men doing there?- Aretbey the BlgMalopo men?” “No; sir. That is another claim.: The claims are not extensive, sir. TheBlg Malopo Is a large One. It measures two hundred feet by seventy-five. You will find Mr. Burns, the watchman, In that building, sir, If you wish to see him. But he will not answer questions. He is a misanthropical man, sir. You are interested In the Big Malopo, sir?” “Yes. I own It,” answered Winton. 'At least, four-fifths of it. I am Win- ton Garrett” Before the words bad slipped from his mouth he regretted the rashness of his self-betrayal. . But the effect upon the negro was extraordinary, He stared aEd gaped, edged, away, and then broke Into a quick run, and never Btopped us long ,as he was within; sight. _ t Winton stood looking after him in as- jtonlslimer.t until he had disappeared In the distance; tlien, after a moment of hesitation, he. stepped up to the shack and tappe d at the door. An elderly man appeared instantly. He had a. white beard .and a shock of white halt. - He was In his shirt sleeves, and he ca rried a shotgun In his hands. From bis appearance Winton inferred- that he would not be chary of using it. “Another of ’em !” he cried angrily, ,leveling the gun. 'cYou make tracks be­ fore I get my eye In, young feller. There ain't nothing to see.” : - “I cams to see Mr. De Witt,” said Winton. “He’s j.-one out of town, and Won’t be back dll to-morrOw afternoon, and If you want a job. there ain’t nothing.” "I believe you are the watchhiah?'’ Winton ajiked. “What’s your, name?” “ My-name's Ned Bums,” shodted the- old man. “What’s yours?" “My hi ime’s Garrett, at -.-K- '-Y " W " ' i!S B y VICTOR ROUSSEAU Coprrisht by W. G. Chapman good block of shares In the Big Ma­ lopo,” answered Winton recklessly. The old man stared incredulously at him. Then he turned into the shack, beckoning mysteriously to Winton to' follow. “What’s-the game?” he asked bitter­ ly.' “You ain't lying fof fun?” /■' “Bead that,” Said Winton, pulling Archie’s Iptter of introduction to Be Witt out 'of his pocket. He had de­ cided impulsively, but, as.be was con­ vince!!, rightly, to trust Ntd Burns.. Parenthetically, he had been recon­ ciled to Archie before he left New York. It was Impossible to bear ill- feeling against Archie, and after all, Archie had done his best He was simply incapable. ' But was be incapable, or, had his luck held true?' Ned Burns took a pair of heavy, sil­ ver-rimmed spectacles from a little table In the shack, drew the letter out of the envelope with shaking fingers, and read it He handed it back with­ out a word, searching Winton's eyes, though, keenly,1 with his own. Then, opening, a drawer in the table, he ItO-Ok out an ancient and much worn Bible. “Lay your hand here,” he said, open­ ing the book at random. “Now swear you’ve told the truth.” "That’s going a little further than I have a mind to, Mr. Burns,” said Win- Intii Y “Aye, aye!” muttered the old man. “Maybe you’re right there. But we’ll soon put your words to tbe proof of the Book-that never lies.” He took up the Bible and began read­ ing from the page at which he had opened it: “And after him Abdon the son of Hillel judged Israel.' And he had'forty sons and thirty sons’ sons, that rode on threescore and ten ass colts; and he judged Israel eight years.” 'He snapped- the Bible shut, “ifan, you’ve told me the truth!” he cried. “I believe so,” . answered Winton. !‘But how do you get that sense from the passage you have'been reading?” ■ “Man. it’s easy. AU things are easy' to them that know how to search the Scriptures. Abdon’3 Mr. Davis. Mr. Davis is the'Judge, ain’t he? And Israel’s Malopo. And the forty sons and thirty sons’ sons are the men who work for the Diamond Fields Syndi­ cate. And the threescore and ten ass colts are the same poor, fools them­ selves, that, work for those swindlers, and. are asses without knowing it., And the eight years Is me, who’ve worked for Judge Davis and Mr. De Witt these eight years past, here and In Kimberley,' and am discharged at the end of the month because Mr. De Witt has promised the job to some­ body. else.” ” "Steady, Mr. Bums,” said Winton. “,There isn’t' going to be any discharg­ ing until I've had my say.” Ned Biiriis grunted incredulously, and Winton .suddenly ,felt his heart full of flaming anger. “And what the devil has Mr. De Witt got to. do with the Big Malopo, anyway?” he asked. Ned Burns laid a hand on his shoul­ der. “Mr. Garrett, my lad,” he an­ swered, "tt ain’t insulting a man-to tell him to his face he’s green.” “Not if he.is green.” “You’re green, boy. Listen to' me! I don’t love those thieves in the syndi­ cate, and when Mr. De Witt discharged me at the end of the month he knew, didn’t he, that there ain’t no job for men of my age in Malopo, and that no­ body would hire a man. who’d grown too old to hold his own against the niggers, when they break lpose In the compounds? . That’s me, Ned Burns, who’ve given Mr. De W itt eight years, and as strong'as ever, except my arm’s; stiff from rheumatics. And me,' set here like an old hen' over that dia­ mond patch, with millions to be picked np, and Mr. De Wltt knows he can trust me not to take a smell of the ground. Not but he knows any man’d be a fool to steal when It’s seven-years’ hard' labor even to buy diamonds in this country.” Ned Bums. seemed possessed by' his grievances'to the exclusion of all else And Winton had a knack, somehow, of striking a man’s moods: at the aright moment; It “ as a quick impulse, a swift decision, and the. exact action. He took the old fellow’s hands In his. ‘!Mr. Burns, I guess we need each other,” he said. “I’m green. You’re discharged. Post me on the situation and you can rely on me that you’re'not discharged. I only landed a week ago,” he added ingenuously, “and I haven’t begun to understand the first thing about this country. I thought all I would have to .,do Would be to prove my. identity and step into the busi­ ness.” . t “Oh; Lord!”, said' Ned Burns. “Sit • down here, M r.. Garrett.1 Yes, you’re green, sir, but the same good ;fortune: that brought; you. to me will see yojr through your difficulties. Sit down.” He .pushed a packing case toward Winton, who took his seat beside the' watchman. “You don't know nothing about the situation here?”: asked Ned. “Just bought the shares and come out to run things?” v : ■ -!.'''Sv “Something like that. My .trustee bought, the shares Yor me,’’ Winton an­ swered. .. Ned nodded,. “Here it is,” herald.mWIimv th& flwo*- th o ld a You see, the stones Is at the bottom of the yellow ground, and when they’d dug and dug and didn’t get enough out of It to pay their, board people got tired and moved away. But a few of the far-sighted ones stayed. -The syn­ dicate had gobbled up a quarter of the claims, and it stayed. The Diamond Fields Amalgamated', owned another quarter—that’s Van" Beer’s concern— and" it stayed., That Wuglit to _ have Malopo. showed people there W^S something In "But, anyway, they thought the . claims was good for nothing, and set out to unload the rotten shares wher­ ever they could. Thkt’s how you got your, shares, M r.. Garrett. Then, last week, a kid Tottie'girl coming into- town with a basket io buy flour picked up a big pebble , right there In that hole. That was the De Witt Stone. Ninety-five carats, they estimate it will weigh, when it’s been cut. She showed it to me. I gave her five pounds for it, and Mr. De Witt called me a fool, and swore when he paid me back. That’s Mr. De Witt, but I don’t know he’s-any meaner than that old hypo­ crite. Judge Davis. “Somehow the news got into the papers down-country. Forty-eight hours the first rush of prospectors from Taungs took to get up here, and they couldn’t understand why people In Malopo was ignorant of what had hap­ pened. Next day a hundred came from the Transvaal. Next day comes the colony rush. And today the popula­ tion of Malopo looks like doubling every week. You may have, passed some of them on the. roads?” ' 1 “Yes, the road’s alive with them.” “It’s one of the big rushes, Mr. Gar­ rett, like in the old Kimberley days, and you can guess how De Witt’s crowd Is kicking itself for not having gobbled up the Big Malopo. They’re finding stones everywhere as they get down toward the bottom of the yellow ground. And De W itt let the property go down when he could have gobbled It for a song.” “I seem to have walked into the situ­ ation at the most Interesting moment,” suggested Winton. . “You certainly have, Mr. Garrett. Not but what I was expecting some­ thing to turn up. I was lying awake last night, puzzling-and,worrying, and I thought I’d'find what the book had to say. So I opened it in the dark and struck a light, and the first woyds my ,eyes.fell upon was that passage where David danced before the Ark -and-his wife nagged; him. for making |a show of himself. And he’d took off his clothes In his frenzy, As , you’ll no doubt remember. Now, sir, I put It to you, could there have been .anything more like a sign?” “But what was' your interpretation?” Inquired Winton. • - “Why, it’s perfectly simple, sir, to them, that’s got the gift to understand.. David’s Judge Davis, of course, and his wife’s ■ De' Wltt;'. who’s always1 girding- at him to be crookeder than God made hlin naturally. And the clothes he took off is his smug Pharisee face that's going to be unmasked. . And the Ark—well, I thought that was Malopo. But now I. see it’s you. He’s going to dance before you, sir, and you're going to be the piper;” . - • “I hope so, Mr. Burns,” said Winton. NedBurns laid a hand on Wintonis arm. “ Tell me one thing,” he said. “How many people know you are In Malopo?” “Two,” answered Winton. “ ‘Your­ self and' a colored -man.” Ned Burns stared at him. “I don’t quite make that out,” he said. “ You’ve kept your business to yourself-mostly, but you’ve told a nigger?” !•The man Sam from the Chronicle.” “Sain Simpson?” cried :Ned: ; ‘!Then you might as. well have gone straight to Mr. De W ltt and his crowd. Sam’s the: whole Chronicle and the Chron­ icle’s Judge D avls-T he Chronicle couldn|t run without Sam. There ain’t anybodyxhere with the education to run it but Sam, for all his play about' being a, newsboy.' TJiat’s just one of Judge -Davis’ trlcksl How' did you, come to telf Sam Simpson?” Y' “ - “I met him; selling, papers, he showed me the way here, and we got into con­ versation,” Said Winton, feeling un­ commonly foolish. “No doubt that ex­ plains why he left me rather sudden- Uy,” he added; V ;. “No ' doubt,” . answered Ned dryly. “He just run baCk as hard as he could go to tell; the Judge. Now, Mr. Garrett, I’ll come to-the point. You’ve got-a big game to play, and you’ve just come In time to play it. There’s to be a meeting of the shareholders of the,Hig Malopq In the Chamber ^of Commerce building tomorrow morning at ten, ffhat means Mr. De Witt, - Judge Davis, 'and maybe' two or three, more—and you. And they’re going to'wind up, and turn the Big Malopo over to the 'syn­ dicate;” ' ■' I, 'T don’t think so,” said Wintonl ; , “I'm glad to hear you say that,” an­ swered; Ned earnestly. . “But De Witt and Judge Davis won’t stop at nothing to get hold of the Blg Malopo. , You see, Mr. Garrett; there’s diamonds all through this yellpw ground; but the big diamonds comes out of the blue pipe, and ,the blue pipe’s on . our claim That's'pretty ,well known because we’re •the center of the diamond groujnd,” : . ,; He- Went bn briefly to explain bow tbe;,diamonds; 'formed in the] volcanic pipds Jandei’ pressure; were forced Upi ward and distributed through the sur- a certain radius about the pipe’s mouth. The pipe Itself undoubtedly, lay to the Malopo claim, probably hnmedlately beneath the place where the De Witt stone had -been discovered, , "You asked me just now what Mr* De Witt had to do with us,” said Ned, “using words for which I hope ypu may be forgiven. -There’S your answer, sir. Tomorrow the syndicate^ gets hold of the Big. Malopo unless you’re on hand in the Chamber of Commerce building at ten to . stop It.” "I’ll be there,” answered Winton. 1 "Remember, tneyll stop you If they can, and by now they know that you’re In Malopo. It may be they’re making their ‘plans while we sit talking here Go home, Mr. GarretUand stay there, keep among the crowd. Don’t obey no messages, nor go 'to meet nobody. Where is ,it?” "The ContinentaL” . “The best place. Stay there all the evening. See your window’s fastened.. Put something against your door. Keep your revolver handy—” “I’ve never owned a revolver in my life;” said Winton. Ned Burns, made a clucking sound and. opening the drawer, pulled out a small automatic. “Take this, Mr. Gar­ rett ” he said; “ You may need lt' It's loaded. That’ll be all. Except, re­ member not to talk alone to "strangers.” “No; there’s something more,” said Winton.. ‘'I came away without my breakfast. Can you give me a bite, Mr. Burns?” Ned iBurns shook his head as If he thought Winton uncommonly green. But he took some bread and bacon from a closet, and, going to the door, began to build a little fire of sticks In. front of the shack; Soon Winton was eating with more relish than he had felt since he had landed. “I’ll do what you say; Mr. Bums,” he said, when the ineal'Was ended.’; “And don’t worry about your job. We stand together. It seems like Providence; my turning; Up; at this time”’ "It- is Providence,” answered Bums. “Half a minute, Mr. Garrett. We’ll see what the book has to say about It." ' He brought the Bible out of the shack, opened It, and began to read I “One young bullock, one ram, one he- Iamb of the first year, for a burnt offer­ ing; one male of the goats for a sin offering; this was the oblation of Ahira.. the son of Enan.” He closed the Book. “We win, Mr„ Garrett,”, he'said In a tremulous voice. .j'We win.” "How do you make that out?” asked Winton. •' ‘jit’s as plain as a pikestaff,.sir. The young bullock is the Big Malopo. The ram’s Judge’ Davis. , The he-lamb of the first year is yourself; The male of the goats for a sin offering is Mr. De Witt, who’s to be punished for his sins.’” “ “And Ahira,.the son of Enan?” asked Winton. . - “That's the big diamond,” responded Ned. . 1 It was evident that the watchman had not yet learned of the supposed robbery, .and. Winton did not think . It necessary to enlighten hilm. H e'bade him good-by and turned toward Malopo. But his mind was In a whtfl, and, feel­ ing the need of being alone In order, to think, Winton retraced his steps after he had gone some dlstanbe, crossed the diamond fields by. means of a succes­ sion of plank paths, and made his way into the desert. Winton tramped on, turning over In his mind all that Ned Bums had told .him. His coming had certainly been providential. Doubtless De W itt and Davis, believing-that thCy would never be troubled by him, had felt secure In their scheme. The Big Malopo was to be wound up' and reconstructed, prob­ ably a trifling sum would be sent to Archie, and Judge Davis would be the ruler of the diamond fields. ' He meant to stop that game. But- the (bought' of Sheila kept lntrading ,into Qiel Situation, and of Seaton, under De Witt’s thumb. '■ '. The sun was low In the, west, and the cool of the afternoon'was refresh­ ing as he made his way baCk toward '. Malopo. He crossed the fields, passed 'through the new suburb, and found himself among the street crowds again.' A few minutes later he was ascending the steps that led up to the stoep of the Continental, where' a group was stili discussing the absorbing topic of the robbery. . Winton, lingering.among the men for a few moments, drew , the-conclusion1 that no progress had been.made so far in the solution of the mystery. - He might have waited,: but .as he stood there he saw a IltQe man with a heavy mustache standing a little­ way beyond the throng and regarding him attentively, ■' Winton did ,not like the litae man’s . face, and he suddenly remembered Ned’s injuncQons; He knew 'that if hejrem alned the .little man would accost him ..

COUGH DROPS 2SS3 S&Bmoias-SinM 1847 ^ Oat Smut Caused by Minute Plant Enters Developing Kernels and Turns Them Into Powdery Masses. . Oat smut is caused by a very mi­ nute plant which • lives . parasiticaily w ithin, the tissues of the oat plant.1' It gains entrance in the- ’seedling stage, about the. time th e ’plant is emerging from the soil. When once Inside it grows upward through the tissues of the stem, . giving little ,or no external evidence of its presence until the heads are produced. At this time it enters the developing kernels and destroys them by forming black powdery masses in their places. Important Parasite. The black powdery substance is found to be made of millions of small, spherical, dark bodies called “spores.” Spores represent the reproductive phase of the parasite and are im­ portant In that they are the means by which the smut is spread. They are of very light weight and easily carried by air currents for long distances. They find lodgment upon, or under­ neath, the chaff of healthy grains and remain there until the grain is sown. Under favorable conditions the spores germinate’soon after germination of the grain itself. They produce a tiny transparent infection thread which soon penetrates the- young tis­ sues of the growing seedling and thereafter keeps pace with the upward growth of the stalk. Produce Dark Spores. By the time the plants arrive at ma­ turity the original infection threads have grown so extensively that they enter the developing kernels and pro­ duce the characteristic large'm asses of dark spores. This simple life cyclb of the smut fungus is completed but once during the growing season, and, unless it is checked by means of effec­ tive seed-treatment, m ay continue Im definitely in succeeding crops.—Exten­ sion Service, Colorado Agricultural- College. Top-Dressing Alfalfa Is Proper Thing for Spring /The practice of top-dressing alfalfa with manure during the winter is not recommended by the Ohio experiment station. It frequently results in in­ jury to the stand and is not a - sure preventive of winterkilling.' Top dress­ ing in the spring with a moderate application of acid phosphate is to be preferred. If from very late cutting In the fall of other cause, the stand is. too thin In the spring for a- good crop, a full bar. vest of hay may be secured, by drilling in oats In March or' early April with a disc drill,- at the rate of three or four pecks per acre. The mixture of oats and alfalfa will make a hay of good quality. If an early variety of oats, sucli- as Fulghum, Sixty Day, Kherson, or Surt Is sown, the mixture m aybe cut when the alfalfa is coming into bloom and will make a hay of good quality. The second cutting will be almost pure alfalfa. A mixture # of three pounds of timothy seed and two of alslke per acre may be seeded with the oats. This will gradually fill the spaces between, the Scattered alfalfa plants.. Breedinjg Cows and Sows Like Sweet Alfalfa Hay. The man who has some nice, sweet alfalfa hay stored away need not have much trouble with his breeding stock, if, he, will make liberal use of it. Cows fed on good legume hay will drop strong calves. Sows will farrow strong, vig­ orous Utters If they are fed plenty of alfalfa and oats or barley, and sparing­ ly, of com. Breeding cows or sows should hot run With nOr be fed with the fattening stock. Some breeders al­ low their sows to run with the general drove up to within two or three weeks of farrowing time. Ifs a mistake, and small Utters with cross mother? are the outcome. ■ Alfalfa hay is a .good conditioner, and it’s a good bone builder; you can’t find anything better, and: the good, careful live stock feeder will see that bis stock has plenty of it during the next two or three months. Digging in Now to Help Digging Out in Summer Thereqre many.things that a farm­ er can just as well do now as to wait till summer time is here. Puttihgthe farm tools in shape is one of the first of these. . Doing this work now -gives us ,time to get repairs and to do the repairing as It should be done. An­ other is getting the manure out of the yards and onto the fields. Draw it out as fast as it accumulates. Thus handled the manure is of more value to the fields, keeps yards in better shape and next summer will be less of the fly nuisance about'the-premises. A third duty, for the cold months is the putting of the fences in order, z This wilt save much annoyance and waste of time by' keeping .the live stock In place. . . i- Good as Rat Eradieator One of the most effective, of all rat eradlcators is a combination- of eqnal parts of commeal and plaster of parts applied In spoonful amounts In the fields- and ditches, about the farm buildings, and In and-around the bur- fows. themselves. It is- superior to poison bait-and: the safest combination to use- on the farm. Diversified Farming Is Winning Friends Find Stock Profitable Side Line in the West. (Prepared by the United States Department o f Agriculture.) - The effective farm trio—the cow, the hog, and the hen—have recently won many friends in a wheat-growing coun­ ty of the West, Douglas county, Wash. This dry-Iand section’ -had been plant­ ing -wheat and buying most, of its but­ ter and eggs and using much canned milk and cream. For the last three or four years the county agricultural ex­ tension agent, leading farmers, and business men of the county have been endeavoring to bring about the gradual ! addition of enough live- stock on the’ wheat farms to help feed the family': and- make, a^good. contribution -toward running expenses. Most of the Douglas county men have made the chaoge In their farming systems by degrees, be­ ginning with only a few animals, gen­ erally three or four cows, two brood sows, and about 50 chickens. As the j growing of feed crops permits and skill ; In - handling live stock develops, the ! flock and herds usually are built up to the amount of live stock the farm should carry. ' - How generally this diversified farm­ ing plan has been developed :n the county is shown by the fact that in­ stead of importing butter, eggs, and - cream, as was the case three years . ago, there was shipped out of the county'during the year ending Mayi I, 1923, according to reports to the-Unit­ ed States Department of Agriculture, a surplus of over 6,000 cases of eggs, 13,000 {pounds of butter, and 46,00d gal­ lons of cream.

Plowing Up Bam Lots Is I Beneficial to Animals Hog raisers may accoriipllslrtwo de- slrable results by plowing up the barn lots at least once-a year. In the first- place, hogs need good succulent pas­ ture as much of the time as possible, and in the second place, they need pro- tectlon against internal parasites, such as round worms, the eggs of which re­ main In the soil. Turning the soil In ' the lots helps to get rid of the pests and the crop, of forage makes it a , profitable operation, writes Jack L. Eaker in the Indiana Farmer’s Guide. I In,addition to providing cheap protein feed, pasture crops aid as a laxative and require the hogs to take a certain amount of exercise which is necessary to. breeding animals and growing pigs. , Bye is probably the best,crop to use for-winter and spring pasture for hogs. By -putting In successive plantings from two to four weeks apart It is pos­ sible'to have fresh'-pasture all the time.: Seeding for pasture should be mud) heavier than for grain crop; from three to four bushels per acre on a good soil is best. Pasturing can be­ gin six weeks after seeding, and may be continued if the rye is not cov­ ered with snow, until the following April. ' Cultivate Acquaintance With Trees in Woodlot Cnltivate an acquaintance with your trees. In nearly every planting of any age ,there is need for some thinning. Exercise-your best judgment as to the most desirable trees to be" left perma­ nently, space them as uniformly as possible and remove the superfluous trees; Most towns have a large num­ ber of trees-that should be removed In order that the remaining ones may be developed symmetrically true to the best type of their species) Remember that. Isolated trees must protect them­ selves and the branches must shade the trunk. Sunscaldisnearly always followed-by an attack of borers and many ttees are lost by improper prun­ ing. An attempt to grow trees with too small trunks is likely to be fatal to many of them. The woodlot should be carefully In­ spected, leaving the trees that prom­ ise to be of the most value in coming years. • .Cuticura Soap for the Complexion.

Washington.—Effective action of the federal government in five years has “brought America from ignorance to prominence in the nitrogen fixation in­ dustry.” .Br. Harrison E. Howe, editor of the official journal of- Ihe American Chemical society, declares In. a- plea for further development in the interest of the farmer and national -prepared­ ness. He asserts that the plan at Muscle Shoals is an entire success from the technical standpoint. The fixed nitrjgen research laboratory at Washington has been a' powerful stim­ ulus to both large and smgfl. scale operations:. It Is imperative; he says, that government activity continue be­ cause Muscle Shoals constitutes only one part Cf the nitrogen'problem. Few people recognized the far-sightedness of congress in’ assuring sin adequate na­ tional supply of nitrogen, according to Doctor Ec we, who adds: 1Nltrogim is necessary to maintain the fertility of tlie soil. In many sec­ tions of the country crops are depleting the soil of its nitrogen, and this is not being replaced. In time of war nitro­ gen Is an. absolute necessity In the manufacture of explosives. There are three sources from which nitrogen is obtained—the natural deposits . of nitrates in Chile, by-products of coke ovens; and the air. An 'Infant industry. ' The industry which is based, upon the recovery of nitrogen from the air is an Infant industry In the Uuited States. The domestic demand for nitrogen materials cannot be .met by; the by-product of our coke ovens. The supply from this source has remained almost constant over a period of years In spite ot an increasing demand for nitrogen fertilizers. At the present time we tire importing more than half the nitrogen we ' use from far-away Chile, and obtaining less than 2 per cent from the air which is immediately around u t. . 1Due to the national importance of. an adequate supply of nitrogen, the responsibility for fostering the infant air nitrogen industry has rested with the government. What has ike gov­ ernment done toward meeting this re­ sponsibility? ’First, congress passed the National Defense act' in I ill 8 authorizing the President to make sucli investigation as he deemed necessary to determine the best, cheapest and most available means of producing^ nitrates.•’ On the basis of the information thus obtained the government Imilt the nitrate plants ai: Muscle Sboals and Sheffield, Ala. 1Xhe fixed nitrogen research laboratory now of the Department of Agriculture was established at Wash­ ington,.!). C., to determine the. possible peace-time utilization of the product from the Muscle Shoals plant in case it were Jperated; to supply such tech­ nical information as would assure a successful, operation of the Sheffield plant; waich information was not avail­ able at the time of its construction; to study new 'metbodA of nitrogen fixa­ tion with the aha of reducing the cost of nitrogen In fertilizers; to supply the newly deveV ped nitrogen industry In the United States with the informa­ tion which could be obtained only by intensive research and involving finan­ cial consideration beyond the scope of individual concerns. Commission Appointed. “A commission was uppointed through tlie Deinutment of Commerce In 1923 to ascertain the present economic sit-, nation In the-nitrogen industry*- Con­ gress Is considering the peace-time utilization of the Muscle Shonls prop­ erties, is is evidenced by,, its recent debutes and subsequent discussions. “I he -results' of these activities' of. the . government have been effective and far-reaching.- In the brief, time of five yei xs -Amerlca has emerged froth a . state of total ignorance of many of the more important features of the nitrogen fixation industry to a position of prominence among those nations which have been fostering- the air nitrogen industry for a much longer period. While it is true that we have no large production at -the present time, yet in case of emergency the country can now proceed w ith, confi­ dence to erect large plants which would have an enormous output. “The plant at Muscle Shoals proves to be an entire success from tlie tech­ nical standpoint. It has, -during a six weeks’ test, produced fixed nitrogen from the air in the amount for .which it was designed and could resume equally satisfactory operations -at any time. While it Is. true that the total capacity is 40,000 tons of nitrogen per year, this output is but a small’frac­ tion of the nitrogen consumed yearly in this country. “A further source of fixed nitrogen is In sight from, the numerous ,smaller private plants which are being planiied or are actually under construction. These enterprises are securing co-op­ eration and valuable technical infor­ mation and advice from - the fixed nitrogen research laboratory, which is an Important activity In the govern­ ment’s nitrogen program, Consistent Work. “Tlie laboratory’s -staff of experts, which has been working consistently and with marked success for a period of four years, has- placed America ini the forefront In the matter Oftechnicaii and practical knowledge concerning at­ mospheric nitrogen fixation. Not oniy. have improvements on the common methods been made, but certain new -and undeveloped methods Jiave been investigated. 1 “As a further result of this work- the Sheffield plant can now be rede­ signed . and operated successfully. Moreover, the laboratory has deter? mined how best to convert the war­ time product-of the Muscle Shoals plant Into fertilizer materials. 1The laboratory! has also been a powerful stimulus to the small scale developments In this industry. The' concerns financing these- developments find here the results of- scientific tests which they cannot afford to make for themselves, .together with advice on technical and construction details which are not available- cispwhoi-a in the country, and without which they O U STE D FROM ALBIO N John W.'Laird resigned'as president of Albion .college, Albion, Mich-, at the request of .the board of trustees, after the students, had made many charges against him and bad hissed and booed him • at, chapel services; Elephant Stops Train by Pulling Brake Cord Wilmington, Del.—One of two elephants on a Pennsylvania railroad train on the way from Philadelphia to the winter quar­ ters of a circus at Havre de Grace, Md., brought the train to a sudden stop about two miles I north of Newark when it wrapped its trunk around the emergency airbrake and gave A hard pull. The elephants wete in what is known as an automobile car at­ tached to an accommodation train. It was some time before the trainmen could discover the cause of the stop, but finally It was'' learned from the keeper that an elephant had pulled the cord controlling the emergency brakes. ' . ) could not proceed. Through this agency ■ the government is thus con­ tributing materially to its plan for tlije. building up of a nitrogen industry in the United States which will make us independent in time of war-and secure in time of peace. . “To such enterprises the govern­ ment owes the same generous treat­ ment'which will benefit any private company .or Individual' that may. ac­ quire Muscle Shoals. Out of smaller plants to which reference Is made there may grow future large develop­ ments and new centers of teelinical experience always important, for they involve the development of trained personnel. “Since the assistance of the govern­ ment, which Is principally research and advice, Is necessary in the estab­ lishment of a nitrogen industry,; It should -be effectively applied to the- whole industry. Therefore, following the ultimate disposition, of Muscle Shoals,_ihe lehst the government may effectively do will be to continue the research program to which It is al­ ready committed, for which funds have been appropriated, and the results of which will benefit all alike.” Abandoned House Cats -Are Killing Chjckens Suffern, N. Y-.—Wild house cats are roaming the Ramapo hills In search (f food, killing game and chickens and even -attacking dogs and men. Larry Dea, night watchman at dam No. IU,' Palisades Interstate park, caught one In a skunk trap, it weighed seventeen pounds and measured thirty-six inches from tip to tip. The cats are the offspring of tame cats abandoned by summer residents. In summer they feed on youfig birds, squirrels; rabbits and chipmunks and make their homes In - hollow tree trunks. They look like house cats, but grow larger and their fur becomes twice as heavy. They will fight furi­ ously and scratch and claw like, true wildcats when cornered.

The citizen who stands on the street corner, with fcis hands stuffed down in his pockets, his shoulders stooped and a sneer on his face, isof no'-vaiue to any cdinmuriitv. He is the fellow Who says "the fire depart­ ment doesn’t known how to fight, a fire, and tells how it ouRht to be done But he never lends a hand. He isthefellow who complains - boot the ruts in the streets, but he hasn’t'paid any taxes for years and ofxourse doesn’t help keep them in condition. H eisthe fellow who finds fault with the public schools and the teach- ersfj but never did, anything in his Iifg to improve the schools. fee is the fellow who condemns ev­ erything and sees no good in any­ thing. You all know him and his type The sootier he leaves us, the soont r we'will be able'to move forward, Qontrast him with the citizen who i3 a booster and may be counted on toihelp every worthy cause. This type of citizen pays his debts and his taxes, stands for everythin? that is 'fo r the betterment - of the place Where he lives and never allows his’enthusiasm for his home town to lag-.", fee i# an asset to any community Itism en of his class who are-re spononsible for all the improvements that are made Ae owe it to him that we have as good streets as we do. that our school system is as modern as it is and that we can boast of to our friends. Classify yourself and see which class you belong to, which type .you match. If you belong to the former it’s time for rejuvenation If you belong to the latter, more power to you. Some time ago we solicited -an advertisement from a gentleman who had just opened up a busiuess in Sevierville; He informed us that he couldn’t stay in business and advertise with us. .- Perhaps he was right. That has been less than six mouths ago and he is not in business in SeviervillerIiow. • Some other strongfirms who were in busi­ ness when this gentleman was. a pup and who have advertised with - us regularly are doing a good bust , ness in Serviervilleand it now looks like they will continue.

He doesn’t w antto know how far. it in minutes or hours. “It is thirty minutes from the corner r f Main and State Streets” tells the story. "If is seven mites” may mean seventy minutes if cheToad is poor, where as "thirty, minutes” is definite man ha3 only so'much, time to spend. He cannotadd to the num­ ber of minutes in a day, or the num­ ber of days in his,, life. Therefore, he wants to use a few of his minutes in non-productive, unnecessary, and unprofitable efforts as possible. - It is for this reason he wants to know the distance from his new borne and his office or bdsiness. in terms of time. And it is for this reason he wants to locate on a good road, for only the good road can cut down his time without increasing his cost! The railroad can serve only a limited number of suburban towns on any one line, and its trains can run only so often. He must waste time waiting for them going to and from them at both ends, suit his con­ vent ence to the schedule. With' the good road be schedule, often beats the train as tb speed, as always beats it in convenience in leaving home, getting into his con-ence, and get­ ting out at or close to his place of business. The good road . . . plus the mot­ or . . . is translated in terms of time, and not distance, because it is time we have to spend, and time in which we h9ve to live;, it is only the amount of time consumed which counts, and not the mere number of feet or miles traveled in that time.
