NUMBER 5' Hark Back to Drouth of 1881. “ Mind about the drouth of ’81?” ^ ‘‘It was drier than in 191 rand a lot drier than this year,” said an older citizen this morning. “There was no corn made on upland at all and cotton was less than half a crop.” Not recalling the dry summer of 1881 the writer referred to the files of The Landmark of that year and learned that there was not enough rain to lay the dust from April 26 to July, j5. a total of 80 days, be ginning with I he planting season. Therew asabigstorm July 15th, breakiug the drouth, and auother one Sunday, (the folks must have prayed) August 7, when condit ion severe agaiu critical. There were other rains early in Septem ber and a Uood the fatter part of the mouth when the Catawba river overflowed its bauks from hill Io hill, being 15 feeT above low water mark. It was hot that summer as it is this—99 to 105 frequently. J. M. AlexaudeT1 Esq., hauled up his wheat and accideutahy covered up a uest full of eggs in the barn. Seven days later the eggs hatched biddies without a mother. Cotton was about half a crop and was unusuallv early. H. C. Sum mers, Esq., of Shiloh, giuued the first bale Siptember 3rd. Corn, according to reports in Tbe Laudmark that year from all counties in this section, would not make over a bushel to the acre on upland. Bottom corn was better, Owuers of distilleiies, owing to the :^hpctagie;^vQ^>JHrere'P^Qic.'$ttick-, eu. They saw ~ Ujinfacnig-^them' and were debating how long they oould remain in business. While-the weather was dry, the folks were wet in sentimenr. A prohibition election was held _i,n August. Iredell citizens cast -I,- 291 votes for prohibition to 2,358 against. In North Carolina as a whole the vote was 48,061 for to 164,138 against. Statesville was already dry after a fashion (as it is now), while Charlotte was still wet. Later 011 iu the fall of that year the folks brought iu more optomis- Iic reports. Corn improved with the coming of rains aud the citi zens managed to live, though they were kicking-about the tax rate be ing raised. Turnitig.to the drouth of this summer, Statesville continues to be the ceuter of the, dry era. There has not been enough rain to muddy the streams hereabouts since May 11 and the deficiency iu rainfall is now well up toward 12 inches. Mr. Meacham, optimistic prophet that he is, has lost hope aud is not prom ising any relief. But nature is ex pected to eveu tliiugs up some, of these days.—Statesville Daily. [There is a section of Davie coun ty lying between Hunting creek jiud the South Yadkin river, 111 the point, that is known as "Egypt.” If we mistake not this name w e-s given that section iu 188 r. Farm ers from various parts of Davie and adjoining counties were forced to go to "Egvpt” to purchase a little corn to feed their .families. That section made a pretty fair crop con sidering the drouth, According to a copy of The Davie 'Times which we have on file iu this office, the price of corn was 65 to 70 cents per bushel IUgi§81. .Flour was' $3.25 per loolbsj eggs 8c per dozen; cof- fet 15c. per lb.; sugar 12C..5 ,shoul der. meat 7c. ; potatoes-,' Irish .

V a p o R u bOttrJTMiBlMJart lfnirtitriy Thoughtless Town. (By Frank H Wagoner) Do you know the story and where it is? Have you ever lived then? It used to be a splendid town with its broad, shared streets and well kepted homes, its stores that flanked Main Street.' its lumber yard its flour mill. Once on a time every tie rail was filled. Then the autos began to ap pear uni il the horse drawn vehiclts becames as unusual a sitftit as the autos autosJiad betn at first. In those days the stores carried all that the community riquired and it was content Ttienthehire of the city came aud with it the things that make up iis life, and Main Street paled in the glare of Broadway. Back from'the city came the city’s merchandise, not to the stores, but to the homes of the residents, and the to*-M paid tiibute to the city with the money that was its merch ants.’ Into the town, hidden iu the mail bag: and from a|| eyes save those of the carriers, came catalogs from distant house= res pendent in color and prodieal in siz=, spreading out on their printed pages the mercb- dise garh^ie ) from home ami'be yond Ilie Seven Seas And order blanks as q iietly went .back pinned to cliecKs "ii the home bank, and the town paid tribute to the alien firms with the money that was its merchants.’ Unobti iisively, es one making a friendly eail, s-tianger folk, some will) aud some without what might be mistaken for suitcases or hand luggage, rang (he door bells .of the home and entered. They were Hs they announced themselves,- ambas sadors and ministers plenipotentiary from the court of tbe great roanu- faeU^rS',pre8eiiiing"tljeir'credVn‘ tials to those who had been selected as worthy of the high honor of be ing privileged to buy direct and a- void the tribute 10 wholesaler and retail as well, and who were to en joy the advantage of making their seclusion of their own homes. And one of these strangers, being the ambassador of a manufacturer of shoes, took orders away from the local shoe stores and the town paid tribute to that alien manufacturer with the m-ney that was,its merch ants.’ - And another, ambassador of 'a manufacturer of clothing, took orders away frotn the local clothiers, and the town paid tribute again with the tnouey that was its mer chants.’ And still another, ambassador of a hosiery manufacturer, took oiders away from the loc.al drygoods stores arid once more the town paid tribute with the money that was its'merch ants ’ And so they came aud sold and took tribute in every line. Ere long the stock of the local merchants were reduced to tbe ex tent of the goods bought elsewhere The tax burden laid a heavier hand because the tribute money bore no share of the town’s upkeep. Civic improvements lauguish for tiie lack of funds. The town bad become a vassal. . _ • Seeking Out The Friendless. Governor Bickett made it his business to search out the friend less in the slate prison, to find those who were without influence, with no one. to say a word for them, and wheti he found one of these deser ving he exercise clemency. It is a pleasure to note that Governor McLean and the pardon comUiis sioner are giviug atteutiou to this class. One result has been the par don of the Davie county uian, sent enced to 25 years’ imprisonment for second degree burglary at the age of 16, and has served 14 vears. That was a terrible penalty to pay for theft, in which the stolen pro perty was ; returned. Murderers wbo escape the death penalty aren’t so severely punished on the aver age But tlje Davie prisoner^was among the forgotten ones, no doubt The most deserving in many in stances are ' probably among that class.—Greensboro News.

Such Is the man who will draw on his years of experience (o manage the Chicago Koundnp and World’s Championship Uodeo to be held for nine days, beginning August 15. “King of the Rodeo” is the title Austin has won. Born in the great state for which he was named, he was raised in the atmosphere of the range. He participated in Ilie thrilling deeds of the famous contests of the Far West and then became a ranchman himself. Wherever the roundups have been staged, Ausiin-.; name has become synonymous with the cowboy sport. In the eflort to perpetuate the spirit of the West, he managed and directed number less rodeos in the West, also giving the East its first thrills from cowboy contests. Then, spreading the fame of Uncle Sam further, he put on the great international rodeo at Wembloyt England, snder the auspices of tho Briilsh government. RIDELm COWBOY * . - r V ..C — . 5». S- -e-'4*?:.''?: (Copyright by R. R. Doubleday.) An animated tornado on four legs, 1,200 pounds of living dynamite—such is the "outlaw” bronk, scores of which will provide the chief thrills of the - Cliicago Roundup and World’s Championship Rodeo, to be held fctr nine days, ■ beginning August 35. Wiry and daring, coolest when facing almost certain ; Injury—such is the buckaroo, standard type of the men who will fight it out • with the “bad” horses in the Chicago contests. Broncho busting calls forth all the courage that is traditional on the ' western ranges and a great part of the $30,000 in prizes appropriated by the i Chicago Association of Commerce, under whose auspices the rodeo will be presented, will go to the men who will fight to stay for a few seconds on the hurricane decks of the “sunfishing,” “skyseraplng,” squealing, fighting cayuses. AVhen the courage of the buckaroo clashes with the lawless spirit of the broncho, the ride is always - to a sensational finish. Tex Austin, famous : through his many successful rodeos and who will manage the Chicago spec tacle, already has contracted for the top bronks from the - three greatest strings of bucking horses in the West.

Is one of the features of the Chicago Roundup, which will be-held under the anspices at the Chicago Association of Commerce' for nine days. The .competitions are under the direction, of Tex Austin, who has managed the largest and most successful of rodeos’. More than '$30,000 in cash prizes wiil go to the winners of the events,-together with the world’s championship titles. I So Weak Couldn’t: Stand “My wife's health broke down and for years she was just a physical wreck,” says Mr. Thomas Glynn, of Gib son, La. “We did everything we knew, yet she seemed to get worse and- worse. She was so weak till she couldn’t stand, and had to- be carried like a baby. It looked like nothing would save her that had been done. For Female Troubles “I began looking around. I knew that Cardui was for wo men. I decided to try it for her as all else had failed. She couldn’t eat, she couldn't sleep, and I was desperate. “After taking a few doses of Cardui, we were so glad to note that she wanted some thing to eat, and with each bit of nourishment, and each day’s doses of Cardui, she grew stronger and got up out of bed. She is now able to cook, and stronger than in a long time.” • Cardui has been in success ful use for nearly 50 years in the treatment of many com mon female troubles.

New York.—The 2,000 ton steamship Augusta was captured by customs offi cers in the Hudson river off Dyckman street after the ship had run the gauntlet of the rum blockade and her crew unloaded and disposed of a car go of liquor worth $2*0,000, at bootleg prices, leaving only 15 bottles aboard. The crew of 24 men was arrested and the captain admitted having turned the liquor cargo over to “retailers” for distribution. This is the first known case since the coast guard blockade started that a ship of such size successfully has eluded the rum chasers and slipped into harbor. As the ship was being towed to the barge office, Assistant Solicitor Bar nes, of the local division of the cus toms service, held a preliminary hear ing aboard the vessel, examining Char les Wilson, acting captain and others of the crew. Customs officials said the opera tions of the Augusta were the most daring ,in the history of the customs and prohibition laws. None of the officers had a license .,it was charged no log was kept and there were no ship’s articles giving the names of the crew. < The seizure of the Augusta came after customs officials had ,received a tip that liquor was to be unloaded from it. Officials boarded the freight er, buf found that of its cargo of 2,000 cases of champaigne, cordials and whiskeys, only 15 bottles remained secreted in the quarters of the officers. Captain Wilson admitted that before dawn Sunday morning the liquor was transferred to 3 lighter. . Tally slips found on him confirmed his story. Assistant Solicitor Barnes was un able to learn the names of the own ers of the Augusta, but a contract found among Wilson’s papers indicat ed that she had been chartered by a New York man from a resident of Miami, Fla. Washington.—President Palmer, of the Emergency Fleet corporation, recommended to the shipping board that it accept an offer submitted by the Carolina company, of Charleston, S. C., for the purchase of the Ameri can Palmetto line, which it is operat ing for the board from south Atlantic ports—Jacksonville to -Wilmington, in clusive—to London, Liverpool, Brq- men, Hamburg, Antwerp and Rotter dam. The Carolina company, if the board approves the recommendation, will pay $5,755 per deadweight ton for the six vessels it operates, each of which is 7,380 deadweight tons or about $276,000 for the line. It guarantees to maintain the service for at least five years and otherwise meets the re quirements of the fleet corporation and the m ediant marine act. Admiral Palmer, pointed out in making the announcement that this is the first sale of a cargo, line to the managing operator, and indicated his pleasure that a southern company was the first to' come forward with a definite, clear-cut offer to take over the government ships and maintain existing service. Some of the north Atlantic operators have been talking about coming in with definite offers, British Strengthens Fleet. London.—After much mention in de- i bate of the United States and Japan, i the House of Commons has approved ; a cruiser-building program involving ■an expenditure of 53,000,000' pounds I sterling. j The former Labor premier, Ramsay MacDonald, made strenuous efforts to i secure passage of an amendment eon- I demning the. program but the govem- (ment's stand was approved when his •plan was rejected by a vote of 276 to 1140. He made the plea that it was I unnecessary to inflict an additional i expenditure of 58,000,000 pounds on already overburdened country, to this ; the argument that there was absolute- I Iy nothing to indicate a war for many years. He depreciated any suggestion that the United States and Japan were possible .enemies. Speakers also refer red to this phase of the question. Rear Admiral Sueter. superintendent of air construction, said that there might be friction between Japan and the United States and that “we might be dragged in. in the same way as America was dragged ito the great war.” Coolidge Pays Bryan Tribute. Swampscott, Mass.—President Cool- idge sent the following letter of con dolence to the widow of William Jen nings Bryan: “My dear Mrs. Bryan: “The sudden death of Mr. Bryan brought a sense of personal loss to Mrs. Coolidge and myself. It was only the other day that he had been our guest at the white house. We wish to extend to you and your fam ily our most heartfelt sympathy. “Mr. Bryan lias been a prominent figure in public affairs for a third of a century. He has been a leader In the advocacy of many moral Teforms and was representative of the effort for purity in our political life. He was endowed with the great gift of eloquence. T he, sincerity of his mo tives was beyond dispute. He was three times chosen head of a great political party and held the exalted office of secretary of state. His ca reer was another example of what American opportunity-affords to those who have the will industriously to ap ply themselves. It would be difficult to find among his contemporaries any one lvith so large a circle of friends and acquaintances who had so gen erously bestowed upon him their es teem and confidence. “I trust that you may be given great consolation in remembering all his worth and in the abiding faith that a divine providence has ordered all things well.” Rail Development Forecast. Washington.—The Muscle Shoals, Birmingham and Pensacola Railroad company asked the Interstate Com merce commission to approve an issue of $2,500,000 in common stock. The securities will be turned in payment for the property of a railroad with a similar name which the new company intends to operate. Severe Storm Hits Virginia.

Eleven Chinese Strikers Killed. London.—An agency dispatch from Hong Kong says that eleven Chinese strikers were killed at Canton by the bodygaurd ,of an official before whose house a mob had gaftierjul demanding a daily cash strike allowance. The dispatch refers to “an influx of Rus sians from Valdivostolt at Canton" and says two Russian, ships have arrived at Whampoa, an outport twenty-seven miles from Canton. (The character of these Russian ships is not indicated. There are large numbers of “white” Russians in var ious parts of China, where they fled from the Bolshevik regime in their own country. There are also “Red” Russians in China. The dispatch does not indicate whether the “influx” at Canton is by “Reds" or “Whites.”) Business Better In Fifth Zone. Richmond.—Business In the fifth federal reserve district was relatively better In June than In May, although some seasonal decreases in certain lines of trade were noted, it is stated, in the monthly review 0# business and agricultural conditions in the fifth dis trict made public by the Richmond federal reserve bank. The volume of business done in June was “distinctly above that of June, 1924, says the review and cor respondents in practically all lines are optimistic on prospects for the second half of the year. Although depression in the textile industry continues, it is less marked than in June, 1924. The agricultural outlook is better than last year. The Carolinas appear to have fine tobacco crops and cotton is also more promis ing than a year ago in both Carolinas. S. A. L. Will Build 32 Miles.

S. D M T AMBASSADOR BANCROFT SUD DENLY SUCCOMBS IN JAPAN. Washington,—Death of Ambassador Edgar A. Bancroft at Karuizawa, Ja pan, as reported to the state depart ment by the Tokyo embassy, was caused by sudden hemorrhoidal or duodenum ulcer. The brief cablegram added merely that the end came peace fully. News of Mr. Bancroft’s death im mediately was telegraphed by Secre tary Kellogg to relatives in the United States and steps were taken to ascer tain what arrangements the depart ment might make to bring the body from Japan. Mr. Kellogg also express* ed regrets that the government through the untimely death, had lost the services of a highly efficient cap able official. The death of the ambassador came at time when he was in the midst of working out through informal conver sations in Tokyo certain important as pects of the Chinese situation, at pres ent the most difficult of the interna tional questions before the Washing ton government. The recent presentation here by Ambassador Matsudaira of the mem orandum voicing Japanese agreement with American proposals that the com mitments of the Washington confer ence relating to China be brought into play to solve the Chinese problem, was an outcome, in part at least, of the work Mr. Bancroft was doing in-Tokyo. The ambassador’s death makes it necessary for Edwin L. Neville, acting charge of the Tokyo embassy, to as sume for the time being the conduct ance of the Chinese negotiations. Two Killed, Two Shot in Richmond. Richmond, V a .-H. ,G. Carter, prop rietor of a restaurant, and Miss Vivian Tomlin, a waitress, were shot to death in Carter's establishment here. J. Harvey Burke; a headquarters detec tive, lies at a hospital probably fatally wounded and Willis Britt suffered bul let wounds in th e . leg. Police, have arrested Rudolph 0. Diesse, 18, and charged him with the shooting. Wants Cotton Estimates Curtailed. Washington.—Agreement was reach ed at a conference here between cot ton growers and manufacturers and of ficials of the department of agricul ture, to issue staple standards for American cotton of uniform quality In stead of .mixed quality as the present standards provide. Present copies of standards will be recalled and replaced by the new sets, which will be made up from this year’s crop and will be placed in use In August, 1926. Declaring that the government crop reports were only guesses. Ward Thorton, of the AiVwright club, Boston, told the conference that Congress and the secretary of agriculture will be petitioned to suppress part of the re ports. “Guesses on the size of the crop have almost made it (impossible for us to manufacture any cloth,” he assert ed. “People are afraid to buy goods on account of the speculation which immediately springs up when the crop guesses come out. Up to September 15 no one is able to make a reason able guess. “We have reached the point now when we are prepared to petition Congress and the secretary of agricul ture to suppress these reports, at least the first four until the crop gets far .enough along to get a rational view of the situation.” Officer of Firm Burned to Death. Memphis, Tenn.—J. Cham Norfleet, vice president of the firm of Sledge and Norfleet, cotton exporters,, was burned to death in a fire which destroyed the interior of the west wing of the Nor fleet home on Overton Park avenue here. \ The fire ,discovered by a passerby, had gained such headway rescuers were unable to enter the apartment until the flames were subdued. Mr. Norfleet’s ,body was found, badly burned, near a window. The cause of the fire has not been determined. HOTEL BMDITS SEIZE M O THREE PERSONS KILLED IN SPEC TACULAR DAYLIGHT HOLD UP. Chicago.—Four masked robbers who attempted to hold up the Brake hotel, exclusive Lake Shore Drive hostelry, during the afternoon tea hour, pre cipitated a battle between the robbers, hotel detectives and policemen that re sulted In the death of two of the rob bers and the hotel cashier. Another of the hold-up men was captured after a terrific battle in the hotel kitchen and a fourth escaped in an automobile with $10,000 of the hotels money- snatched from -the. safe and till, while bullets whizzed about his head. The robbery, one of the most daring of many years was perpetrated by men under the influence of narcotics, the police said after examining the cap tured robber and questioning hotel employes. The latter described ’ the holdup men as "either drunk or dopey.” One of the robbers was shot several miles from the hotel after he had commandeered a taxicab forced a wo man from the car, and commanded the driver, at the point of a pistol, -to speed away with him. The taxi driver wrecked his machine deliberately to allow pursuing policemen to overtake him. The man captured gave his name as Jack Holmes and -said lie recently came here from New York. The rob ber killed in the taxicab chase is said to be Eric Nelson, a former employe of the hotel and the man shot in front of the hostelry was Tex Corts of Tex as. The hotel cashier and head clerk, Frank Rodke, was shot in the abdomen and died later. The four robbers entered the hotel, ascended to the mezzine floor where the cashier’s cage is located and after stationing themselves at strategic points, suddenly donned masks and drew pistols on 25 employes, mostly women. Two robbers guarded the em ployes, herded together, while two others ransacked the cashier's cage. Several Dry Directors Selected. Washington.—Striding forward with the construction of the treasury’s new prohibition enforcement machine. As sistant Secretary Andrews definitely has decided on seven or eight of the men to fill the posts of prohibition administrators under the reorganiza tion. Their names were withheld, . but it was said that they were regarded by the treasury as among the best avail able, and that each had agreed at a considerable personal sacrifice to join with Mr. Andrews in his effort to carry out the terms of the Volstead act. While the selection of the men for the posts of administrators has proved most difficult, Mr. Andrews has net permitted that to delay his considera tion of other features of the reorgani zation.

Navy Gunmen Prove Ability. Washington. — Recent anti aircraft firing tests conducted by the dirigible Shenandoah and the battleship Texas were described at the navy department as the most successful of this charac ter ever held. Hundreds of hits were made on the target towed by the bfg airship during the firing from the Texas off the Vir ginia Capes, and it was indicated that the Shenandoah might be available for similar tests with army gunners at Fort Tilden, L. I., about August 12. A report made public by Rear Ad miral C. F. Hughes, director of fleet training, who witnessed the tests, de clared the experiments were import ant because the sleeve target towed by the Sirship was much larger than ever used before, being visible to the gun pointers and yet much smaller than any aircraft.

Lackawaxen, Pa.—William Bennett casually sat down on a bench In the jail yard where Julia M. Webster wait ed with some Impatience to bid her late host, the jailer of Wayne county, good-by. The Jailer was perfectly will ing to speed the parting guest, but cer tain formalities had to be complied with. Julia had been "in residence" 60 days, having entered a plea of guilty to a minor-offense. Bennett never had seen the girl be fore in his life. He was merely avls- Itor looking around to see what sort of an old jail it was, anyway. The girl is buxom, and she is bright. She smiled on the man, who is shy one arm, but really one arm is all that a quick thinker and a fast worker needs once a girl has smiled on him. Before the discharge papers had been made out the man had proposed, and before they had been delivered to her he had been accepted. They made tracks for the prothono- tary’s office, where Julia answered all customary questions In a rapid man ner. She said she was bom at Muske gon, Wis., twenty-one years ago. Bennett gave his age as forty-one and said his occupation was that of salesman. After the necessary papers were filled out the couple went to the Presbyterian manse, where they were united. FatheFs Debt Upsets Daughter's Romance Manila.—Rufina Aldales, sixteen years old, and Candido Binas, seven teen, recently approached the justice of the peace of Albany to be married.

Then another diffi culty arose. The elder sister, who was to be traded, refused her father’s wishes on the ground that she bad been previously engaged to marry a Chinese merchant. The father is still trying to persuade his elder daughter to break her en gagement with the Chinese fiance In order to settle his dcbL Drug Clerk Uses Both Hands tor All Work Council Bluffs, Iowa.—“Bud” Arnold, a drug clerk here, although he can write as well as any one, has never been able to decide which “handed” he Is. Arnold picks up his pen with which ever 'hand is nearest to It, and he writes with either left or right hand. He does about as well with one-as the other. If he ts In a hurry, he can pick up two pens, one with each hand, and write two different things at the same time. He can also write,, singly or doubly, blindfolded. Arnold finds it handy to be ambidex trous. One hand- does not have to know what the other Is doing, he says, and he lets them tend to their own business. One hand might be mixing a prescription while the other is writ ing the label for the bottle bn a type writer. The ability to use both hands came natural to Arnold, he says.

( Moose Calf’s Bellow Sqoes CanoeisFs Life • Fort William.—The cry of a young moose calf saved Nels Nordahl, Upsal township, from death when the mother of the calf was making a serious at tack on him. The man was paddling around Jack- fish lake in a canoe when he spied a cow moose and two calves on the shore a few yards away. Nordahl emitted a shout to see the animals run away. However, the cow moose dashed into the*lake straight for the canoe. The impetus of her charge.upset the canoe.and when Nor dahl fell out, he managed to keep the canoe as a protection while tbe moose charged and charged again. Then one of the calves, evidently thinking it was being abandoned by the mother, emitted a cry and the moose turned away from Nordalil to answer, the call of her young. Nordahl made his escape. m 0102010001235348000101 r TTTTTl DAVIE RECORD, M OCKSVILLE, N. C.

Koelz1 fisli and bird expert, who is with the MacllIlIan Arctic expedition, to make studies and collect specimens of Arctic land and water-fauna for the National JJeographic society. Is one of the leading specialists of the world on the whiteflsh. Doctor KoeIz was born In Waterloo, Mich., and after elementary ■ school ing there and preparatory work InJ:he neighboring town of Chelsea, attend ed the University of Michigan where he took bachelor’s, master’s and doc tor’s degrees. He taught zoology at the University of Michigan until 1917, when, joining the staff of the United States bureau of fisheries, he began for tliat organization a detailed study of the whiteflsli, the most Important commercial fish of the Great Lakes. When Doctor Koelz began his In vestigations little was known of the whiteflsh. Since the days of Linnaeus this family of fishes has constituted a stubborn problem In classification. As a result of Doctor. Koelz’s seven years of work 'witli the fishing fleets In the commercial fishing ports of the United States and Canada and in the labora tory, science now for the first tltiie has practically complete data in re gard to the American whitefi^h. Doctor Koelz has described the ten species and scores of races of this fam ily In American waters and has col lected and prepared 30.000 individual flsh, the largest collection of white flsh In the world. Tills collection Is In the museum of the University of Mich igan at Ann Arbor. “Filing System” for Fish. In the course of his work Doctor Koelz has discovered and 'described several .entirely new species, one of which was found to be confined to Lakes NIpignon and Winnipeg In Can ada. This discovery was of consider able Importance since it supports the theories of gla'ciologists In regard to” the hypothetical ancient body of wa ter, called Lake Agassiz. So complex did the classification of white fish prove to be, due to the bewildering slight differences In Individuals, that Doctor Koelz found It necessary to in vent a hew method of differentiation, a ratio based on nose length, upper jaw length, fin length and head depth. The fish of his huge collection have their relationship indicated, therefore, by decimals, somewhat like those on the filing tags of books In 'a great li brary. * When not on the Great Lakes with his nets' on the trail of fish. Doctor Koelz has spent many hours with trap and gun obtaining specimens of birds. He has gotten together, and owns per sonally, one of the finest collections of hawks and waders in North Amer ica. Going off to the Arctic to collect flsh. birds-and mammals is not like an aft ernoon’s Jaunt near home with gun or rod and little else. Hundreds of pounds of special supplies and equipment had to be taken along and problems of packing and transportation Involved In getting the specimens safely back to the United States, had to be worked out. Doctpr Koelz took aboard the Peary, one of the MacMillan expedi tion ships, the, following formidable supplies: 15 gsillons of formaldehyde, 20 gallons of alcohol, 100 pounds of salt, 2,000 feet. of gill nets made of linen thread, tnframel nets, dozens of thermometers, automatic water sam pling bottles, silk bolting cloth to seine up the almost mlscroscoplc'food of the flsh, dredges for creatures liv ing on the sea bottom, Insect nets, plant presses and a number of copper tanks for use in preserving flsh. Because space is at a high premium on the BowdoIn and Peary, there will be much ImprovisIon.- When his flsh have been “pickled” In alcohol and formaldehyde, Doctor Koelz plans to commandeer empty gasoline drums In which to bring the specimens back to the United States. The flsh are pre served whole, and will eventually re pose in glass jars of alcohol. The preservation of bird specimens up can is simple. The skins are split and slipped off with the feathers still In place. Tlie neck Is then severed so that the head and skin remain. These are generously salted, and after dry ing are packed away. Because they can be packed fiat the bird skins take little space. Hundreds of them be stowed away In an ordinary wooden packing case. Back home these skins will be softened by the washing out of the salt, will be stuffed with excelsior and mounted. The skins of land "animals will be removed and dressed and numerous photographs of the animals will be brought back to aid taxidermists In giving them a lifelike mounting. “Static” Figures in |W»nV House-Hunting „ ' Spokane, Wash.—Frank Stoop § recently purclia^d a residence here, which he has pronounced "the ideal radio home.” Mr. Stoop passed several weeks In his search for a good radio location. After Inspecting a house by daylight, If he found, it otherwise acceptable, he ' would return at night with his radio set and “tune in.” -If the reception w as'poor, his search was continued next day. “I found one house that sure did take my eye,” he said. “I wanted to buy that house, but the static was so thick that I couldn't think of carrying the deal through. I tested out- more than a dozen neighborhoods by radio before I found the right place. But, oh boy, I get it pretty now.” Spain Has New Type of Airplane * * 'Jt. ■ . a u r a WHY= ^ C o n stan tin o p le Today |s 'n g City One of the IritgviIic t .

ANCIENT COURT MAY SIT AGAIN Oxford University Urged Reopen Tribunal. to Oxford, England.—An Oxford under graduate is to be tried In the ordinary courts of assize on a charge of man slaughter arising out of a motor acci dent. The frequency of motor smashes In which undergraduates are concerned has led a famous law don to sugges' that the court of the lord high steward should try and punish the offenders. This university court has been In ex istence, since 1404, and although it has no+ tried a cas% .n hundra’s of yea-s belief still prevails that It still has jurisdiction to try members of the university on charges of treason, felony or mayhem. Its powers are not original, as a true bill must be found against the ac cused by the ordinary grand jury. When this court is sitting at least Its jury must be composed of half mem bers of the university. Apparently, the chancellor has power to make towns men members for this purpose, as is done in the case of the so-called “Holy Pokers,” who are matriculated to serve on the jury of the university coroner. The university possesses two other courts as well. The court of the chan cellor, founded In 1331, Is familiar to all thriftless undergraduates as_ the strong ann protecting Oxford trades men. Wlren a bad debt Is reported to Six Divide $12,000,000 Detroit, Mich.—Six men, who were practically “broke” in 1909, sat around a dinner table recently at the Detroit Golf club and divided $12,000,000. The dinner was In celebration of the Eureka Vacuum Cleaner company, which Fred Wardell founded In 1909. The money divided represented ac cumulated profits of the'company Wild Ass That Is Worth Big Sum I this court, a notice is sent out to the debtor ordering him to pay at once or lose his degree and bis bedroom furni ture. The vice chancellor's court is formed by the vice chancellor of the univer sity assuming the privileges of his posi tion as a justice of the city of Oxford 'and the counties of Oxford and Berk shire. As the powers of a justice sit ting alone are very limited, it Is the custom to make several heads of col leges justices in order tliat they may sit with the vice-chancellor and in crease his. powers.

It was not long before Bud Tarko appeared. “Not guilty, your honor,” came the voice of the tail, bedraggled joung mail, and with that Bart wtht forward. “If you please, your honor, Mr. Tarko’s attorney is on the way here from Cheyenne,” he announced, “and, simply as a citizen, I would like to ask permission of the court to have this case set for at least a mouth from to day, as Mr. Tiirko’s attorney will have to familiarize himself with all the' de tails.” The district attorney nodded. “It’s agreeable with me, your honor.” The date of trial was set. Bart again faced the court. “I am ready, your honor, to furnish a casli bond.” Fifteen minutes later, the-dilapidated Tarko beside him, Bart again was on the road to Bellaine. A mile and he turned to Iiis companion. “Bud. I’m going to let you out at the discovery well. I want you to visit every camp and outfit and find every American Legion man in the oil dis trict. W hat's more, I want you to argue with that man until he gives you his ^solemn promise to meet at the Hlkali flat, just west of town, at nine OiClock tonight. Do you get me?’’ "Oo I? It’s memorized. What’ll J tell ’em is doing?” “Action—and plenty of it.” Accordingly -Bart let Tarko off at the oil fields and went on. At the en trance to the main street ho leaned over the wheel suddenly at the sight of a crowd on the corner. A second more and he had swerved the machine to the curb, shut off the engine and was rushing forward. He had heard .the jeering tones of a man—then the frightened cry of a girl—the voice of Anita Fninniston. In a doorway lounged “Bull” Fran- niston, plainly drunk, while, at the curbing. Anita was struggling vainly to evade the caresses of a man—the gambler Bart had arrested the day be fore. He too was drunk—almost as drunk as the shouting, roaring “Bull,” VVIlio egged him bn from the doorway. Old Jim, begging piteously with his drunken brnte of a master for some evidence of liuinan commiseration, was unheeded. About them the crowd laughed and jeered as the gambler continued his lurching efforts to force the lips of Anita Franniston to liis. And with that, Bart Rogers swept for ward. H e ' tore tlie gambler away from Anita. 1 “Let go of' that girl!” It was “Bull” Franniston, weaving forward now, his right hand fumbling in tlie direction of a hip pocket. “B art!” It was a screaming voice from one side, where Old Jiin was scrambling forward. “Bart! Look out! He’s got a gun!” But half-way to his pocket Frannis- ton's hand halted, and he whirled in frenzied fashion as the thin, suddenly superstrong Old Jim lunged toward him, with both thin hands, grasping his heavy wrist. A great list drew back, and the black eyes of the hulking j beast seemed to pull together in a I spasm of anger. I “Let go there!” he ordered, and struck wildly at the dodging, twisting . fdrm of the old man. “Let go there!” I “I’ll not let go!” Old Jim was screaming now, with a sort of Herce terror, “I’ll not! It’s my flesh and blood, ‘Bull,’ and I ain’t going to stand it any longer ! You ain’t going to hurt her and you ain’t going to hurt him! Drop that gun! Drop that gun, I say!” ' “Let go!!” The big voice thundered the command and again the heavy, free fist of the man swished through the air, to catch the older man on the side of the head, to stun him momen tarily and to send him staggering, while th e -gnnlrfind again swung up- ■ ward. I Then a shot tore its way into the ! sidewalk as Old Jim once more leaped , to the attack and grasped the wrist of ; the larger man. --A third shot, a fourth j —and then a shriek I j The teeth of Old Jim clamped on the wrist, and the hlood began to splatter on the sidewalk. The gun had dropped from the dehdened-grasp of “Bujl” Franniston, while Jim leaped and sete°d it, then, whirling, swung it high and brought the butt crashing down upon the forehead of the being he hated and feared. . A lurching second—then “Bull” dropped, while the crowd, frightened now, milled for safety. - «vve done it— n catne in a strange, droning voice, “tt'e done it—lie’ll get me now. But I - I can’t help it.” He looked toward Bart Rogers, who had turned, after assisting the weakened Anita Into the car, and in his eyes was. the look of a man facing something far worse than death. “I ve done it, Bart—the thing I’ve always been, afraid o t I knew he’d make me— I knew he’d go so far some day that it'd all have to come out. Now hell get me—and she’ll-sh e’ll have to suf fer, 'cause she ain't his daughter, Bart—she's mine!” '••Yours?” Bart asked the question hurriedly as he pushed .the frightened old man Into the car. “Tliere-don t talk about It now. Come on-w e ve got to set away from here.-’ 7 By Conrtney Ryiey Cooper s> Ey the Bell Syndicate, Inc. WNU Service ! “Take care of Anita,” he called over his shoulder, jammed his foot on the starter, and with the first roar of the engine sent the car skidding around the corner on the beginning of a cir cuitous journey to the home of the mayor. A half-block and lie out distanced tlie few persons who had sought. to pursue. A few moments more and he swerved into the Jordan driveway. Then, with Anita, struggling grimly 'for self-possession, and the chattering Jiin beside him, he faced Mayor Jordan. “I hate to impose on you, Mr. Jor dan,” he began, “but—” “Come in !’’ The genial old official bad thrown wide tlie door. “Who’s this? Oli—” and his expression changed—“Miss Franniston.” “l'es, I’ll explain to you later,” Bart answered. “In the meanwhile, could you allow me to have a room where JXiss Franniston and Oid Jim could sort of sit down and compose them selves—?” “Surest thing.” Tom Jordan asked no more questions, but simply led the way to the top of the stairs, where his wife awaited him. “There’s been some more trouble, Mary,” be an nounced quietly. “Take care of these folks, will you?”- Then he turned with Bart to the living room, where Rogers gave liis ac counting, and tolcl the story of “Bull” Franniston. Tlie mayor’s face lost its geniality. "That looks bad,” he responded grim ly. “I .wonder if you’d mind attending a meeting with me about- nine o'clock J” Bart asked. i? “Tonight? Where?” “Out on the alkali flat Some of the men who are working around here and who belong to the American Legion are going to get together for a few minutes. Will you be there? I'll need you.” “Meet me hefe at S :30.” It was said quietly and terselj'. “If I am a few minutes late, don't worry. I’ll be here.” Still with the grin on his features, Tom Jordan went out tlie door, while Bart Rogers looked after him in al most worshipful fashion. For Bart had learned that one thing he had feared was untrue. OM Tom Jordan had a geniai face. He had a soft, easy manner. He had a penchant for following the easiest way. But now, Bart saw, when Tom Jordan camei to the barrier, he could prove him self a thoroughbred! He stretched himself on the lounge. ‘!It's just going to be a bit of a nap,” lie said to himself. “Only a few minutes—” But when be turned at last, to a tugging at a shoulder, the light with out had faded. Tom Jordan was grin ning down at him. “Have to step lively, youngster,” caitie his cheery greeting. “Let jou sleep ’till the last minute. Hurry out there in the kitchen and get the grub my wife's Used for j-ou. It’s half past eight!” Bart obeyed hurriedly, then joined the mayor, who was waiting in the machine. A mile past the center of town they veered their course, and, leaving tlie road, started straight across the prairie 'toward the alkali flat. Now Bart was leaning anxiously forward, straining for tlie sight of men—and at last to be rewarded. “They're there I” came bis enthusi astic announcement, “Fully a hundred of them. See! There by the campfire I” Five minutes later^they drew up at the flat, and Bart alighted, to find the enlongated Tarko striding toward him. “Ain’t I a good man?” he asked as he jabbed forth a disfigured hand. “May be a little mussed up—but a good man’s a good man any ole time. Look ’em over, Cap'n. There they are —a hundred and forty of ’em.” Bart introduced the mayor, and Bud Tarko grinned as the former went to call the meeting to order. He waved toward Bart Rogers, and the marshal stepped a short distance forward. “Fellows,” he began quietly, “I know that every one of you have some place that you call home, and that you like to think about it as a place where there’s law and decency, and where your mother or your sister or your sweetheart can walk along the street in safety, or where your young broth er will not be face to face with a thou sand temptations that should be re moved from his path. Is that right?” There was a slight murmur—Bart knew it was one of approval. He con tinued. “I thought so. Now: the man.beside die is the new mayor of Bellaine.; He’s not a politician, and he has no ax to grind. I think he will tell you that on the streets of Bellaine in the last week women have been Insulted, men fleeced of their-every'cent, youths lured into dance hails and worse—and all because there isn’t sufficient police power to stop it. Mayor, is that right?” .' Tom Jordan rubbed his hands. “I had just thirty letters yesterday from people who really lived ip Bel laine asking me what I intended do ing about cleaning up this town,” was bis reply. “All that I could tell, them was that I would do my best, but that my bands were tied.” Again Bart Rogers -took the initia tive. "The reason for it Is, fellows, simply, the fact that Bud Tarko and myself are the police department. We’re sot a very husky army to combat what we’re up against. We get no help from the sheriff—instead, todaj; he arrest ed my deputy because he had shown the effrontery to use firearms to pre vent a jail delivery of a gambler. Now, I’ve promised to make it short, sweet and snappy. You’re Legion men. You stand for certain things, for honesty, for decency, for clean Americanism, .and for law and order. This little town didn’t give sInany soldiers dur ing tlie war. because it had ,but few to give. But it did give of what wealth it possessed, what hopes It had, what energy it could summon. In all things it gave to the limit, and It asked no return. Tonight I am beg ging for it, I, a member of the Ameri can Legion, am asking you, as my buddies of the greatest organization In the world, to jump In and help me make this an American town again. I need 2D men whom I can deputize and who will not be afraid to shoot. You’ll receive no money; you may receive injuries; are there 25 men wIiiy want to lielp me?” C H A P T E R I X T h e S t o c k a d e “He.v, keep them hands down!” Bud Tarko was yelling at the top of his lungs. “What d’ you think I am—a adding machine? Now, first row! Them that wants to go In on this jamboree, stick up your mitts! U— U—” lie turned suddenly to Bart— “how in blazes do you say unanimous? Second row—same thing! Third, fourth, fifth—bull, it looks like every body’s coming to tlie party.” “Good!” exclaimed Bart smiling. Then he turned to Tom Jordan. “Mayor, I may need. $1,000 to carry this thing through. Are you willing to advance it, knowing that you’ll get it back from the city when the fines begin coming in?” “It’s advanced whether I ever get if back or not.” Tom Jordan was chewing at a cigar, somewhat viciously. Very well. You’ve got a charge ac count at the Royal Hardware company, haven't you? Take Bud Tarko and .these men up. there and get suflicient 'barbed wire, staples, posts and every thing else that’s necessary to build a fence six feet high around the place where the City hall stood. Get that, Tarko?” “Do I?” The long deputy swung his arms. “Oh, baby I A stockade!” ‘T hat’s it. I want it built by to morrow afternoon at six o’clock. In the meanwhile I want twenty men who can scarg/ up rifles and revolvers, to walk post, ten to stand duty tonight and ten to relieve them at eight in the morning, to keep everybody away and to answer no questions. Do I get ’em?” “Stop your crowdin’, will you giiys? They’s plenty o f work left!” Bud lIvas pushing back the volunteers.” Bart Rogers went on. “The rest of you report at the may or’s home at ten, o’clock tomorrow night with what side-arms you can scare up. In the meanwhile I want one or two men who are well known to the state adjutant of the Ameri can Legion of Wyoming to go to Chey enne with me tonight. Who’s on?” Two hours later, in the light of spluttering torches, Bart Rogers stepped to one side as a roaming, bel lowing person strode past him. “Aw—right!” sounded the howling voice. “Make 'er snappy! Le’s get some action here! Post carriers— over this way! Barbed wire men, stand by f shove,off!” It was Bud Tarko, shouting the lingo of the sea and the'jabber of the army that makes the language of the United States marine. For all of it, ‘there was not the slightest necessity—every where were aien, stripped to the waist, and working as they had not worked in months. Post-hole diggers were biting their way into the ground, rolls of barbed wire being trundled into poslti.on, hammers were clanging, and shadowy form s' clustered about a hastily procured truck as they re lieved it of its first load of supplies. A form moved to Bart Rogers’ side, and a rather fat hand mopped at a perspiring forehead. “Here are the commissions for all the men at work here tonight,” came the announcement of the puffing Tom Jordan. “I guess Tarko’d better pass them out They’ve all been sworn.” “Listen, cap’n, it ain’t any of my. business, but that train’s going to be whistlin’ in about ten minutes.” Fif teen minutes later they were leaving the glaring, noisy, blatant boom town behind on their way to Chej-enne.

MOCKSVILLE, N. 0 . , Shape of Egg Is No Index to Sex Poultry Breeder Must Rely Solely on Mother Nature for Square Deal. (PKparoa by the United StntestDepartment of Agriculture.) If you nre oue of the many who be lieve that the long, slim, heavy hen eggs are the ones which hatch out the male chicks? anil that the smaller eggs are the ones which give birth to the future layers of the flock, you need to revise your opinion on the matter, says the United States De partment of Agriculture. You may as well leave your tape measure, scales, calipers, and other units at home when, you go forth to purchase a "setting of eggs” from your poultry lireeder, and rely solely on Mother !Nature to give yon a flfty-fifty deal in the matter of sex. Can’t Determine Sex. In answer to the continuous stream of inquiries pouring into the depart- ,IiItent ofiice relative to determining the sex of the chick In the' shell by the size, shape, or weight of the egg, the department says “it just isn’t being done.” That is, not In a practical way. at least. The scientist Is able to identify the sex of a cliick in the stiell after seven or eight days of In cubation, however. Ilecause of- the important Iiearing on the practical aspects of the poultry industry which the ability to select hatching eggs according to the sex de sired would have, if sucli were pos sible, a number of investigators have made studies concerning the sex-ratlo situation in the domestic fowl. Re cently Dr. M. A. Jull, poultry husband man of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, completed some observations in which he concludes that there is no correlation between1 the length, shape. Cl’ weight of the egg and the sex of the chick Iiatched from it. He has also made studies to determine whether or not there is a correlation between the weight of the egg yolk and the sex of the chick, or between the yolk water-content and sex ratio, with the same negnfive re sult. Number of Eggs Counts. rt hns been determined, however, says Doctor Jull, that the greater the number of eggs which a hen lays be fore being put into the breeding pen. the larger will be the proportion of females and the smaller the propor tion of males produced by her eggs Tiie practical poultryman may be able to take advantage of this fact to some extent by making his selection of eggs for hatching with reference to the ben’s period of production. Grain for Mature Bull Depends Upon His Size The grain a mature bull should be fed depends, of course, upon his size and the amount of work lip is doing. If he is getting aMund 12 ojr15 pounds of good clover or alfalfa hay and some silage, grain may not be necessary SIany men prefer to feed some grain and either eliminate the silage or feed it in small amounts. There is some question as to the ad visability of silage in a bull’s ration. Fed in amounts not In exces of 15 pounds for a large animal, there is very little danger of his becoming too paunchy for service. On the other hand, there is no particular reason why a bull should receive silage If his other feeds are right. The amount of grain allowed roust vary with conditions and service. Usu ally from four to eight pounds is fed. A good mixture of corn meal, three parts; ground oats, three parts; wheat bran, three parts, and oilmeal, one part. A reasonably accurate guide is to feed a bull the same as a cow la full milk. Commercial Fertilizer EncouragesBigYields The continued use of commercial fertilizer over a series of years will encourage the production of large yields and it may be at the end of such a period it will be found impossible to .raise as good a crop without the use of fertilizer. However, this-is not due to any Injurious effect of the fer tilizer itself, but rather to the fact that the fertilizer has stimulated the crop, and caused It to remove from the soil even more plant-food elements than are supplied by the fertilizer. But if either large or small amounts of fer tilizer are used In connection with- a good system of cropping, and every care is taken to return all the manure to the land, there will be no reduction of yield due to soil depletion. The fact is, commercial fertilizers have a very definite value, more especially when proper use depends on such factors as crops, soils, rotation systems, etc. Sweet Clover Cause of Serious Cattle Trouble The Minnesota experiment station has discovered that when sweet clo ver hay is fed In large quantities to cattle, it occasionally causes' serious trouble. In fact, when two yearling heifers were fed on an exclusive diet of sweet clover Ifay both of them died in a little over a month. Death ap peared to be caused by internal bleed ing. It seems, however, when sweet clover hay is fed In connection with other roughages, that it is safe. Sweet clover pasture seems to be perfectly safe, except for occasional bloating of the same sort that bothers with clover and alfalfa. Soy Beans Furnish Protein for Stock Are Superior to Cottonseed Cake for Daiiy Cattle. The past few years has seen a marked Increase in the acreage and interest in the growing of soy beans. A national association of growers of soy beans has been organized and they are very actively engaged in popularizing the soy bean In the Unit ed States. The seed of the soy bean plant Is the richest in crude protein of all the seeds used in live stock feeding. The percentages of crude protein In soy beans is 30.5 per cent and every 100 pounds of soy beans fed yields 33.2 pounds of digestible crude pro tein. The soy bean seed is also rich In oil, as it contains 1C.1 pounds of digestible fat In each 100 pounds of soy beans fed. Compared to linseeci oil meal, soy beans contain 2.9 per cent more digestible crude protein and 9.4 per cent more digestible fat. Soy beans for dairy cattle are slight ly superior to cottonseed cake. Care must be exercised In feeding soy beans to dairy cattle, as excessive amounts cause soft butter. Cattle have been successfully fat tened upon soy beans, and, when com pared to cottonseed cake, the, soy beans proved just slightly Inferior fo the cottonseed cake. In swine feeding, the composition of soy beans, as given above, should be carefully considered. The protein con tent indicates that it can be used as a protein supplement to carbonaceous grains. Due to its high oil content, soft pork is apt to result, if soy beans are fed to any great extent. Soy beans should be ground for horses and cattle, but it is' not necessary In feeding sheep and pigs.—B. \V. Fairbanks, Extension Service, Colo rado Agricultural College. TUCKAWAY” HATS POPULAR; LAST WORD IN SWEATERDOM LIFE Is just one hat after another In the career of the up-to-date young woman. Her collection of head* wear, if exhibited altogether, would serve as a millinery calendar, besides reflecting occupations and pastimes. Here is a group of small hats that spell vacations, journeys, visits and motor tours. The mode commends them and calls them “luggage hats” or “tuckaway bats,” and they are labeled sweater no longer as a single Item In her wardrobe, but rather In terms Of a collection which shall Include a knitted blouse for every occasion. Outstanding style attributes which bespeak the last word In sweaterdom mail be itemized as follows: Long sleeves, smart necklines, novelty stitch, color diversity. Especially do -the newer sweaters emphasize the long sleeve as evidence of being “the latest.” Foreign Clover Seed Is Found to Be Worthless During the last five years approx imately twelve and one-quarter mil lion pounds of Italian red clover seed has entered the United States from Italian ports. This seed is classed by the United States Department of Agri culture and the state experiment sta tions which have thoroughly tested it as “no good,”. It is not adapted to the production of clover In this coun try. Reports coming from experiment stations In Iowa, Minnesota, Wiscon sin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Tennes see, Pennsylvania, Maryland. Virginia.' New York and several other states, present a body of information which leads to several Important conclusions. These are that Italian red clover seed is worthless except in Idaho and Washington, where the climate is mild; that' Bohemian red clover is not much better, and that native American clover s.eed is the best of all to- withstand the winter weather and the attacks of mildew and anthracnose. Strain of Early Tomato Propagated at Michigan A new strain of early tomato is be ing propagated at Michigan State col lege under the direction of George E. Starr, assistant professor of horticul ture. “The experiment," says Mr. Starr, “is being carried out with the inten tion of producing a tomato that the Michigan gardener can get on to the market in time to get the benefit of the high prices that prevail a week to ten days before the usual crop is ready for sale. The experiment includes se lecting and breeding primarily for earliness. • However, size, color and quality have not been neglected and a choice, attractive, as well as early fruit is expected to result. Mr. Starr is at present experimenting on a seed less tomato.

Nearly all these soft, collapsible, hats are made of silks and many of. them are machine stitched—the ma chine stitching done in several bright colors. Velvet pipings and facings, braid embroidery and ribbons embel lish them, or trimming is made of the silk or satin used in the h at Their crowns are made in four or more sec tions and sometimes velvet and silk, or satin, are alternated In these sec tions, but the dust-resisting qualities of silk or satin make them very prac tical.

Similar hats, in white1 silk or white and color combinations, nre pop ular for sports wear, but they will’ vanish with the passing of warm Indeed, according to the revised b?. laws of the mode, a knitted slipoa or jumper must be sleeved wrist length to be right. As to necklines the choice is be tween turtle or V-neck, or convertible dollar. As the autumn days approach, the turtle neck, with its high swathing manner, will be more and more appre ciated. At present moment favor is divided between the informal cool- looking open V-necks and the high wrinkled effects, which carry lots of style, if not of comfort. When one considers the novelty- stltch feature, there is much to think about. Shell, ripple, blister and ribbed stitch each contribute their best to the knitting of the modern sweater.

DISHES TO TEMPT AND REFRESH An apple soup Is not very common, but is well liked by those who have tried i t . Green Apple Soup.—Chop ten apples without coring or paring and cook in two quarts of water until p u lp y . Strain, return to the kettle and thicken with four ta blespoonfuls of arrowroot stirred to a paste with four tablespoonfuls of wa ter, and then added to one-half cup of the apple soup, the whole poured Into the kettle and stirred until the soup boils. Add a dash of white pepper, and two tablespoonfuls of sugar. Just before serving add the juice of half a lemon and garnish with green lettuce leaves cut in rounds like confetti, scattered over the soup. Fried Cucumber Rings.—Pare and slice cucumbers and cut out the center and seeds with a small vegetable cutter and put them in ice w ater for an hour; then dry and fry In deep fat like saratogn potatoes. Southern Summer Squash. — Cut squash in halves and let simmer in water ten minutes. Scrape out the center, leaving the shells thick enough to handle without- breaking. Remove the seeds and press all the moisture from the pulp and add to it the fol lowing: To enough squash to serve six persons put one cupful of bread or cracker crumbs, one onion, one to mato, minc.ed’ fine, a little chopped parsley and two cupfuls of cooked chopped ham ; add two tablespoon fuls of butter, mix well, season with salt and pepper and add one beaten egg. Cook this mixture ten minutes, stirring constantly; arrange the shells in a baking pan, fill each, sprinkle with crumbs well mixed with melted butter and bake until brown. Serve hot. Orange Sherbet.—Take one egg, one pint of cream, one quart of milk, the ! juice and rind of three oranges, the juice and rind of one iemon, and two I and one-half cupfuls of sugar. Beat the ! egg. add the milk and cook until the egg is cooked, add the cream and the I fruit juices which have been added I to the sugar and combine both mix tures. Freeze as usual. ' Household Helps. Oiled or paraffin, papers which wrap foods or line boxes should be saved.. as they are use ful for wrapping sandwiches, and other foods when packing the pic nic or the lunch basket. . Eggs should be kept in a cool dry place as the shells, being porous,1 will absorb odors. When boxes or small baskets of fruit come from the market, pour them out on a large dish. They keep much better and any that are decayed will be seen and at once thrown aw ay.. Any leftover corn on the cob added to a potato salad improves it greatly as to flavor and food value. A busy housewife may, when pre paring custard for the family, reserve enough for salad dressing before add ing the sugar and flavoring. Add mus tard, salt, pepper and vinegar to part of the cooked custard, with sugar and flavoring for the dessert, one cooking making two dishes. One of tiie old-fashioned wire tea pot I stands makes the best kind of a trivet to place in a kettle when boil ing puddings in a cloth, as it is sufficiently high to keep the pudding from touching the bottom of the ket tle. Add a little salad dressing to cot tage cheese; serve on lettuce. Spiced beef Is a .dish especially’ en joyed in hot weather. Add a Iialf cupful of shredded blanched almonds to the potato salad. It will make it more nourishing and tasty. In cooking such succulent vegetables as peas, spinach or greens of any kind, salt should not be a&ded until the cooking is over, a good rule to remember Is all “top the ground vegetables, should not be salted until cooked. vrdiL Custard is Good Standby Milk, eggs, and sugar are practices Iy always on hand In the well-stocked pantry. These materials, with differ ent flavorings, may be depended upon as the basis of lnniynerable whole some,- easily-made custard desserts, which have the additional merit of contributing Important elements to the day’s food. The United States Department of Agslculture points o u t that much-needed lime Is supplied by milk, Iron is found In egg-yolks, and both foods are good sources of vitamins; Custards may be served alone or ais sauces for fruits, cakes, or puddings. They may be thickened with eggs only, or part of the thickening may be supplied' by bread crumbs, cake, rice, tapioca, sweet potato, pumpkin, flour, cornstarch or gelatin.

They took their seats near the bunch of girls and not a bit enibar- rasted hy their finery and airs. The old lady reached into the pocket of her dre.-s aud pulled out her snuff box. t hi took a bjg “dip,” raised the wiudow to be able to spit con veniently atid settled herself to en joy the ride aud view the scenery aloaff the Yadkin river. She soon became interested, however, in - the conversation and maneuvers of Ibe girls. Every little bit she would remark to herself ' 1VVal I declar,’ "nevei in my life,” "W ho’d a lhot it!" etc., expressing suprise, in credulity and amazement iu turn. Like all girls who can’t ride but a few miles on a train before they begin to open up their vanity cases preparatory to squinliug a t. them selves iu the little glass, putting their hair iu place, and powdering their noses, these girls did likewise. Alter watching them., for. some little lime, the old lady turniug to t!ie little girl, said. "I hope I’ll never, live to see you acting like them “flipper gals." This amused the girls, aud one more daring and mischievous than the other decided to shock her still further. Going to the front of the car for a drink she catne back and sat dowu facing the old lady. Very indifferently she crossed her knees showing the rjlled "rolled stockiug” aud about two inches of her kuee with a "painted butterfly” on it, and looked out of the window.

Since the Supreme court decided that county loans to the State Highway commission are legal the loans are going in with ‘ a rush. Nunierouscounties are borrowing inouey io loan to the State coin, mission, the commission to use the loan building roads iu the county making the loan. Thus, the next Legislature is being-committed, 18 monilis before it meets, atiji more th.tu a year before its membelship i’ chosen, to another bond issue for roads to reuay county loans. The loaniug counties will hive suflicieut strength in the body to force the State to issue bonds to repay the loans, regardless of credit condi tions aud the bond market at the time. The practice can’t be com mended as good busiuess, but the seiHi mint for good business, but the sentiment for roads is carrying aIl before it. We’re going to have paved roads, tegardless.—States vtlle Daily. Wijl Not Tinker Tariff. It is announced on authority that President Coolidge will not sanction an attempt to revise the tariff act at the coming sission of congress in December. Mr. Cool- idge also believes that practically the same trade and business con ditions now exist between this country and foreign nations as pre vailed when the present act was created. Imports are increasing and exports are continuing along satisfactory lines and he feels it will be wise to see how the law works out. The President particularly is a- verse to reopening the whole tar iff system at this time because of the etfect he fears it would have on Dusiuess by bringing about a situa tion of uncertainty. • It was stated at the summer White House, at Swampscott, Mass., the past week, that no se rious proposals for revising the taiiff have been received and it was emphasized that the President would make no such- recommenda- t:ons to congress. The flexible provisions of the pie^ent act permitting a revision of duties up to 50.per ceut gives the President opportunity to sauctiou such changes as he feels are neces sary. The changes under this pro vision must be made upon the rec ommendation of the tariff commis sion. Three of the six members of the commission have been ap pointed by Mr. Coolidge. Despite lack of agreement and virtual deadlock in the former commission, tariff duties in several instances have been revised The executive’s ultimatum a- gainst tariff legislation leaves the way opeu for the next cougress to center its attention on the matter of reveuue work and tax reduction The President has proposed _a cut iu taxes aud Chairmati Green of the house ways aud means com mittee has called the committee to assemble in October to frame .a tax bill. While no deGnite reduction plan has yet beeu proposed, Mr. Cool idge does not feel that a scheme should be formulated with a view to obtaiu funds for a tax cut throu a prospective surplus which might be available as a result of re-orga nization of the government depart ments:: Senator Curtis, of Kansas, the Republican leader, who con. ferred the Fa5t week with the Pre sident, estimated that $200,000,000 additional would be available for tax reduction if the reorganization of the government deparments was brought about. Tne President is of the opinion that this amount is perhaps excessive, although he is without definite figures as to the sum which might be saved through the elimination of duplication by enactmeut of the reorganization plan.—Ex. pose of Style Shows.

Keep Contact With M’Millan by Radio New Short Wave Length Sending Is Success. Washington.—“WNP calling, will you relay a MacXIilIan message to the National Geographic society?" The sender is Jolin L. Reinartz, amateur radio “wizard," aboard the Bowdoin. On the receiving end Is an amateur radio operator—one day in New Bruns wick, Canada; the next day at St. Petersburg, Florida; again out hi Cleveland, and on some occasions in England. For it Is one of the interesting aspects of the MacMillan Arctic ex pedition which Is using the new Instru ments of aviation and color photog raphy that its news transmission also is by a method so new that it is yel experimental. But the experiment is working— nightly, and also at midday—which is one of the new things about the new short wave length sending. Even to the “listener in" the name Reinartz may be strange; but to every amateur, code-using radio operator the world over, the name Reinartz means a special “hook up.” And these ama teurs, whose amateur standing is at tested and guarded by the membership in the American. Radio Relay league, are on their toes to “catch Reinartz.” Reinartz has to his credit not only the development of a well-known re ceiving circuit; but holds numerous long-distance records for transmission of signals. Keeps Clipping Waves’ Length. Reinartz’ greatest accomplishment, however, was making possible the sending and receiving by amateurs, with inexpensive equipment, of waves shorter than the most powerful pro fessional station could send a few years ago. Mr. Reinartz was born In Crefeld, in the Rhine provinces of Germany, In 1894, and Is of French extraction. After four years of schooling In Cre feld, he came to America at the age of ten, and settled in South Man chester, Conn., where he completed his schooling and has since made his home. On leaving school he became a clerk In a drygoods store. He stood this one year, meanwhile dabbling with WILL MARRY A PRINCE % iff Miss Anita Bai Lthme, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bal Lthme of Chicago and New York, who late this, summer will be married to Prince Edward Joseph Lobkowicz of Vienna, mem- hor of th« nnhilitV. things electrical In his spare time. He had taken up this hobby while still in school in 190S, and with the as sistance of some friendly telephone engineers—the telephone was then still In Its hand-cranking days—had begun experiments in the infant radio field. Radio was then a matter of “coherers” and “de-coherers," and rather crude signals could be gotten over only lim ited distances with the equipment then available to amateurs. After a year of clerking In the dry goods store, Mr. Reinartz became a clerk In the electrical department of a big silk mill. Each year he became more actively connected with electrical work, and prior to his recent selection to have charge of radio communication on the MacMillan expedition, he was In charge of electrical disposition in the mill. When the crystal detector came in. Mr. Reinartz was one of the first ama teurs to make use of it. XVith home made transmitting and receiving equip ment he-kept up his experiments with fellow amateurs until America went into the XVorld war. An accident at training camp incapacitated him and he spent the remaining period of the war teaching radio In a trade school, fitting men for the service which he had not been permitted to enter. As soon as the war restrictions on radio activity were removed, Mr. Rein- artz fell busily to work again at his radio experiments. By 1921 he had designed the Reinartz regenerative cir cuit, which he improved in 1922. This soon became popular with broadcast listeners-ln because of its simplicity of tuning and its sensitivity. Amateurs “Talk’’ With France. At this time “bands” of wave lengths were being allotted for various uses. The amateurs of one country were given a band near 50 meters, but by special arrangement they exchanged this band for one of much higher wave lengths, asserting that it was impos sible- to get as low as 50 meters. Reinartz believed that it could be done, and had been pegging away steadily reducing his wave lengths. Finally, in 1923, he reached 70 meters, the record at that time for amateurs. He explained his methods to a French amateur, De Loy, who had a station In Nice, and to officials of the Amef- Jackknife Used for Removal of Tonsils Cordova, Alaska. — A tonsU operation was performed recent ly at Bering River, on Controller bay, 60 miles east of here, by Dr. XV.

In October, 1923, the first two- way amateur communication between France and Americq was established with the equipment that Reinartz bad designed. After achieving 70 meters, Reinartz succeeded In August, 1924, In getting down to 40 meters and got the 40- meter signals through first to the Pacific coast and then to England, Scotland, France, Belgium, Sweden, South America and Australia. These were night signals. By October he was using 20-meter waves and at this re markably short length or “high fre quency" had established two-way com munication at night with Santa Mon ica, CaI., from Iiis home at Manches ter, Conn. Until this contact Reinartz had the 40 and 20 meter field prac tically to himself. The first daylight transcontinental transmission between amateurs waa accomplished by Reinartz last Decem ber, the signals going through clearly at noon on 20 meters. Prince Bibesco Thinks ■ U. S. Girls Heaven Born Atlantic City, N.

Making it clear that he was not discussing evolution, he pro ceeded: “Some countries have beau tiful women and some have brilliant women, but it has been left to Ameri ca to produce women both beautiful and brilliant.” Princess Blbesco was an English girl. TWELVE BILUON FROM INCOME 1924 FARM CROPS Largest Return in Any Year Since 1921. XVashington.—Farmers received a gross income^ of $12,136,000,000 from agricultural production for the year ending June 30 last—a larger gross in come than in any year since 1921—ac cording to figures made public by the Department of Agriculture. For the year ending June 30, 1924, the figure was $11,288,000,000. In arriving at the gross income the department deducts cost of feed, seed, and waste from the value of produc tion. According to the department’s experts, the Increase over last year, amounting to about 7% per cent, was due almost entirely to higher returns from grain and meat animals, particu larly wheat and bogs. Exclusive of live slock and feed sold to other farmers the gross income from sales was $9,777,000,000, as compared to $8,928,000,000 In 1924. Food and fuel produced and consumed on the farms was valued at $2,359,000,000. Expenses of production for the year were ljut at $6,486,000,000, or approxi mately 2 per cent more than for 1924. when the figure was $6,363,000,000. The net cash income from sales was $3,291,000,000, as compared with $2,- 565,000,000 In 1924. The net income from production, including the net cash sales and the value of food and fuel produced and consumed on the farms, was $5,650,000,000. This figure shows an increase of 14.75 per cent over the previous year’s $4,925,000,000. Still, the average net income per operator, including all farmers, ten ants as well as owners, amounted to only $876 in 1924-’25, compared with $764 the preceding year, and covers the retifim on the farmer’s equity In his property as well as earnings for the labor of himself and his family for the year. Yellowstone Park StafiF Recruited in Colleges Ashton. Idaho--Yellowstone park has a vocabulary all its own, and tour ists visiting it the first time have many surprises in store for them. An auto mobile driver is never a chauffeur in a park. He is a "gear-jammer.” A waitress is always a “heaver” and a cook is known only as a “meat-bur- ner.” Most of the employees In the hotels and camps of the park are students. Twenty universities and colleges are represented among the hundreds of waitresses and housemaids working in the big hotels and camps. There are also many school teachers among the women, employees, and this year most of these motored to the park In their own cars. The chauffeurs and other men employees of the transportation and hotel companies also ,came chiefly in their own autos. Many of the stu dents motored all the way from New York and large numbers of them came from Californio.

Paris.—It is now virtually settled that the French mission which is t,o go to the United States to arrange a settlement of France’s war debt will leave for Washington during the first fortnight of September. The French government has decided to treat the debt settlement with Great BritaBi and the United States as two distinct and separate undertakings, and that whatever might be the stage of the negotiations opened ten days ago at London between France and England in early September the French mission will proceed to the United States. M. Caillaux, the French finance min ister, has a firm intention, unless pre vented by circumstances, to proceed to W ashington himself, but he would- remain there only a short time. If he does go, he will sail only after the preliminary discussions have been con cluded between the French delegates and the Amei-Ican Debt Funding Com mission. Washington.—A revision of classi fied freight rates on shipm ents from, to. and between points In the south eastern quarter of the United States was ordered by the Interstate Com merce Commission, which likewise created a scale based on mileage dis tances to control the revision. Railroads were instructed to have the new schedules incorporated in tariff publications by January I next Both increases and reductions, as compared with present rates, will re sult from the application of the new schedules, the commission’s decision said, but in the main the increases will mostly affect movement of com modities treated as class one freight, while the reductions will predominate in the application of the new sched ules to classes two, three, four, five and six, and the subdivisions below class six: The . commission likewise laid out 30 districts, comprising southern ter ritory, to which rail and w ater rates on classified shipments will be group ed. Special arrangem ents were made by which specified southern railroads of lesser earning ability than the standard railroads m ay charge amounts above the general scale on classified freight. It was also held that -shipments traversing Florida should move a t a scale slightly above the general level, while shipments between North Caro lina points and Virginia were given a slightly lower level of rates. The com mission gave special attention to the possible effect of the new rates on railroad earnings, the decision said, and particularly with reference to the arrangem ents made to guide rate-mak ing between northern and southern points. It was said that railroad revenues would be increased by the alterations. Auto Crashes Claim Life Toll.

WNtJ Servica CHAPTER IX—Continued Morning, and with it hurried inter views, running messengers, clanging hammers, and then— On board the train which carried die iliree men back to Bellaine were sis long, coffin-like boxes, each with I-E excess baggage tag attached, the p-eniium of speedy transportation. A truck awaited them at the station, and Puil Tarko met Bart with a grimy bunch of men. In the distance a great circular F-oekade of bristling wire had been y Qilt, and around it stood a curious, poping crowd. To the stockade Bart went then, to examine the barbs, to test the heavy, wire-studded gate, and stepping inside, to regard the possibilities and impos sibilities of escape. Once more he turned to Tarko. “I’ll be back to relieve you in a few minutes, as soon as I get this stuff up to tlie mayor’s house. You’re needing Fieep.'' •'Who, me? Say, I never want to look a bed in the face again. Boy, J oi rarin’ to go.” •Ton'll rear better after you’ve Fiored awhile.” Then Bart Rogers, iis old enthusiasm returned, a portion tt Ieaest of his zest In life restored, followed the truck and the long, casket-like boxes to the home of the mayor. There he called for Old Jim, that he might aid in the work before them. But when the man appeared Bart rescinded his order. Jim appeared ghastly ill and fright ened. Instinctively Rogers went to him and grasped him by a thin, trem bling shoulder. "Jim!” he ordered, “buck up here! IYliats tlie m atter with you? No body's—” "He’s looking for me.” The voice was strange and cracked and lifeless. A hand twitched in the general direc tion of outdoors. “I—I saw him go down the street.” "Looking for you? Saw him—what are you talking about?” "Graham. He came into town in a hurry a half hour ago. He’s—he’s looking—” "Suppose he is. It’ll only be for cssault—and that was justified. Look here, you’re got to buck up. You’ve let Franniston get your goat. You—” "Graliam’ll find me. There’s too much in it for him not to keep look ing. He’ll—” "Oh, look here!” A slight air of disgust crept into Bart’s voice at the continued fear of the other man. "Fofget it. If that’s all you're worry ing about, I’ll pay your fine. Where’s Anita 5" “Fpstairs.” "Is she feeling better?” Tlie burning eyes turned toward the ciuer man, eyes which told a thou- sir.il stories'of suffering. better?” asked Old Jim in a voice Uret was stronger, more weird than t ler. “No. She’s—she’s crying. It i-ti; io come. I’ve—done what I’ve wways been afraid of doing. I’ve broken her heart I’ve—I’ve told h er!” "What do you mean?’’. Just then the doorbell jangled. "Graham's at the door,” Old Jim Eaid slowly. “He’s come for me. WiU jcu let him in?” "Certainly." Bart could say but lit tle else. He passed the tense figure tiid turned the knob. Sheriff Graham ti Manuington looked up at him in Burly fashion. ^ "I want him”—Graham demanded— "who's that standing back there in the hall?” "Jim Alderby!” Tbe faint voice an- Ewered. "Did you ever go under the name Cf George Morrison?” "That—that was my real name.” “Then I guess you’d better come along. I’ve got a telegram here from Alkonia that they want you.” "Alkonia?” Bart Rogers had edged “ to the conversation. “Alkonia—where?" “Illinois." Dut Jim hasn’t been out of this town tor—” '"ell, if you’ve got-to know,” and Jie sheriff poked forward a telegram, maybe you’d better look at this and get an eyeful.” Bart Rogers took the message, sud- enly to find the words swimming be- Me his eyes. For a fuU moment he ared at it, reading again the crisp, 6tJital order. "Graham, Sheriff, JMannlngton, Wyo. Arrest and hold for local officer, Eftfg?

What’s the use—’’ “But Jim I Don’t stand there dumb! You haven’t been out of this town for years. You—” He ceased. The old man had spread his hands and shaken his head. Then, slowly he had come forward. “Don’t try to help me, Bart,” had come pleadingly. “It only makes it harder. I—I told you I’d broken her heart. I’m—what you say—a murder er- I—I guess the. worst kind of mur derer that ever God ever cursed, a mur derer who killed the woman he loved —-his wife—and the mother of his baby!" Long after the machine containing the sheriff and Old Jim had chugged away, Bart Rogers Btill stood there in the hallway, looking with dazed eyes into nothingness, striving to en compass it all. Was that the reason—the thought shot like red flame through the brain of Bart Rogers—that Old JIm had suf fered Anita to be mistreated at the hands of "Bull” Franniston, simply because he knew that even this was better than the discovery that her fa ther was a murderer? Did he know that once he crossed the evil, ugly- tempered “Bull” Franniston, his secret would be a secret no longer? Was that why he had begged the man he served to be more lenient with the girl; why he had beseeched hinj not to force the issue to the breaking point? Instinctively, Bart knew the answer—and yet, with it all, there still lingered the mystery, the unsol uble question of—why? Why, in the first place, had "Bull” Franniston allowed the girl to pose as his daughter? Why had he kept Around It Stood a Curious, Gaping Crowd. near him, her real father, the man whom—if the deduction were true—he knew ’to be a murderer? Why— There were too many questions, even for conjectures. More, Jim had spoken of a girl upstairs, a girl who was broken-hearted and weeping. Bart turned in search of Mrs. Jordan, then, with her beside him, went to Anita’s room. A little heap of humanity was curled In a chair, weeping. The wom an hurried to her. “He told me the whole story,” came brokenly. “He killed my mother!” Then the sobs came again. Mrs. Jor dan nodded to Bart and quietly he de parted. An hour later— In the big living-room dowstairs, a sad-faced, motherly woman stood by the window, talking to Bart Rogers. “It’s not a pleasant story,” came quietly. “Maybe It’s not true—but if it is, I can’t help feeling sorry for Old Jim, even if he is a murderer. Per haps, I’m too sympathetic. But when a man has paid and paid and paid— I just can't help” it.” “I don’t understand, Mrs. Jordan. “Neither do I—In a way,’! was the quick rejoinder. “Old Jim may have invented the whole story. Certainly there is nothing but his word for it, however.“According to what he told Anita, he and a young lawyer, Mason Bar tholomew, were rivals for the same girl back In Alkonia. She had be come engaged to Bartholomew, simply, according to Jim, because he seemed to exert some sort of hypnotic influ ence over her. She was afraid of- him—even after she had given her promise. She told Jim of her fears and of her dislike; once she ran away front him. As a result, Jlm did not give up his suit. “The time for the wedding ap proached and the girl became more frightened than ever. Then Jim, ac cording to his story to Anita, decided to take things into hlB Own handq. H e went to her and argued with her until she gained the courage to elope with him. They ran away and were mar ried that night “Of course, they came back to Al konia, and the girl had to face the at torney. But apparently he had de cided to act the man about tlie thing. He offered Jim his hand and told him that It was only natural that the best man should win, then promised his un dying friendship. “Four years went by, in which the attorney was a constant visitor to the Morrison home—that is Old Jim’s real name, you know. Then Anita was bom, and but three months later the storm broke. “One morning Jlm opened his mall to find an anonymous letter which made charges against his wife and some man In town whose name Anita could. npt recall. Jlm ■ accused her, then, went to the man in question, ac cusing him. I guess there was the usual scene—and a fight, In which Jim was bested. Those were drinking days, and ,once the whisky had begun to work on him, he boflght a revolver. He hazily remembers Bartholomew' ar guing with him to be sensible and trust his wife. Then, according to his story, his-mind became a blank. When he awoke he dragged himself out of a drunken stupor to find that he was In his own house, that his revolver was clasped In his right hand, and that, across the room, lay the dead body of his wife. CHAPTER X The Sway o f Justice “It was very evident what had hap pened,” resumed Mrs. Jordan, “drunk, he had wandered home, they had quar reled and he had killed her. Jlm stag gered forth, gave himself up ,to the first policeman he met—and confessed. “It seems that after the arrest, Bartholomew came forward as Jinfs friend and took charge of the baby, stating to the court that he was Send ing it out West to be adopted by a childless family. Then one night, In the darkness of the jail someone slipped a packet into his cell. It con tained saws, money and an address— the name of Franniston out here In Wyoming. He sawed his way out of tlie comparatively flimsy jail and es caped.. A week later he presented himself to Franniston here In Bellaine and asked for a job. He was given one without question. Nothing was said to indicate that Franniston knew his real identity, nothing done to show that Franniston had the slight est idea that this man was the father of the girl to whom Franniston had given his own name, but whom he had not adopted. So the relationship be gan. Then, a year later, the truth dawned on Jim. Bartholomew showed up in Bellaine, under the name of Bar rows. Franniston could reveal the true Identity of the girl, and she would be stained with the blackness of be ing tlie daughter of a man who had killed his wife. So he had Jlm In his power.” “But was anything ever said to in dicate that? Was—” “Nothing.” Bart Rogers stared at the carpet. “It was strange that the officials back East should learn of Jim’s where abouts so quickly—especially when they had been unable to find him for years. I wonder if—” “Jim says that Graham was the jail er back in Alkonia. I suppose he was bribed to sneak the saws Into the cell. Anyway, there was an investigation afterward and he lost his Job. Then he came out here. So there—’’ con cluded Mrs. Jordan, “is the story.” For a moment Bart stood uncertain, looking dully out the window, at the casket-like boxes which had been piled on the front veranda. Then, with a sudden resolve, he hurried up the stair way and to the doorway of the room Anita was In. “It’s Bart,” he announced when her faint answer had come to his knock, “Bart Rogers. May I talk to you a moment?” Assent came from within. Bart opened tlie door, and walked im pulsively to the quiet, white-faced girl by the window.(TO BE CONTINUED.) Find Priceless Relics Below Antwerp Street Golden altar vessels dating from the. Tenth century have been found in an underground passage in an Ant werp street recently, Pierre Van Paas- sen reports, in the Atlanta ,Constitu tion. The passage was like a long tunnel and experts claim that it was formerly used by a rellgous order whose house was situated on the out s kirts Of the City. The friars used the tunnel to visit the cathedral when they, wished to avoid walking through the streets. The tunnel ends abruptly and the site of the cloister to which it led is even In doubt. Near the altar ves sels of priceless value were the in evitable skeletons nearly always dis covered In connection with such finds. There Is no way to estimate when the vessels were hidden. Some advance the opinion that they were hidden from tbe.Engllsh: raiders, others say they ex cited the envy of Spanish soldiers. The most likely explanation is that they were brought to safety in the days of lnconoclast outrages, when mobs in vaded the churches and slashed price less paintings, smashed Inimitably wrought gold and sliver adornment* and tore Invaluable illuminated books and manuscripts Into shreds. , Pioneer Greek Teacher The first regular teacher of the ■ Greek. language1 and literature at Ox ford university, England, was Wiil.lam Grocyn1 an English classical scholar, who was born at Colerne, Wiltshire, about 1446.

Mexico City, Mexico.—Ines Vargas, a. sixteen-year-old senorita as deter mined as she Is romantic, recently served an ultimatum on her parents to the effect that, unless they gave their consent to her marriage with.Isidro Covarubias within ten minutes, she would throw herself from the roof of the four-story apartment building In which the Vargas family lived. ' Whereupon she fled upstairs, locked ,the door leading to the roof and poised herself on a cornice overlooking Nuevo Mexico street. CIriaco Vargas, the father, tore his balr In desperation for a few seconds as he reflected that his daughter had inherited the firm character, of her mother, and -the latter, he felt sure from past experience, would never re cede from her stand that Isidro, as a son-in-law, was impossible. Then he dashed to the nearest police station, only a block away, to seek disinterest ed counsel. Firemen Hurry to Rescue. A few hurried sentences explained the situation to a comisario. That offi cial had an inspiration. Next to the police station were the firemen. He called out a hook and ladder company and the fire laddies, all dressed up In FIREMEN OUTWIT FAIR SENORITA CRAZED BY LOVE There linsued a Lively Game of Tag, huge he mets and light blue uniforms, clanged to the scene of the Impending tragedy, unfurling a life net as they went. They arrived about nine minutes and fifty-five’ seconds after Ines had issued her ultimatum and,was about to launch herself into space. There ensued a lively game of tag between Ines on the roof and the fire men, with their net, down In the street, while a gathering crowd cheered and Clriaco attacked the locked door with an ax. -Catch Her In Fire NeL Just^as the door gave way Ines thought she had outwitted the net holders and jumped. By a supreme ef fort’ and overturning a couple of urchins, the firemen managed to in terpose enough of the net between Ines and the pavement to break her fall. But she achieved her purpose, for the sight of her daughter whirling through the air destroyed the last of Mamma Vargas’ opposition. . She did not, however, win Isidro. That youth faded from the scene after witnessing his sweetheart’s leap.

It Is too often the common fate of the summer garden In North Carolina to become an unsightly weed patch rather than a productive spot adding to tiie lieaith and income of the fam ily. "We should not allow this to oc cur,” says Olenn 0. Kandall, extension horticulturist for the North Carolina State College of Agriculture. "Fresh vegetables form a ricli and cheap source of those protective foods so badly needed in the daily diet. These foods are needed just as badly In the Iiot weather of mid-summer as in the vigorous days of early spring, and it is possible to have a continuous sup ply of succulent vegetables during hot weather.” Shallow Cultivation, To do this, however, Mr. Randall suggests that the growing vegetables must be given shallow cultivation fre quently enough to maintain a thin soil mulch and to kill weeds and grass. Then, too, the refuse from the spring vegetables must be cleaned out if dis ease was present or composted if free from disease and the space occupied by tlds refuse planted to a succession of vegetables. Some crops that will withstand the hot weather are snap beans, lima beans, sweet corn, cabbage, tomatoes. New Zealand spinach and cucumbers. It is liardly possible to liave a good supply of the salad crops or “greens,” such as lettuce, as they will not thrive in hot weather; but New Zealand Bpinach will help to supply this need. Late Cabbage Planting. Mr. Randall states that it Is now time to plant seed for the late crop of cabbage, such as the- Succession and All-Season varieties. Plants for a late crop of tomatoes should also be set out, using, preferably, the wilt-resis tant varieties. “Remember,” says Mr. Randall, “the consumption of green vegetables every day serves as a protection against sickness by aiding in maintaining the vitality through the hot weather of midsummer." Making of Soft-Meated Fowls Out of Cockerels The making of large, soft-ineated fowls out of cockerels that ordinarily would be sold on the market as stags Is the real reason for caponizing cock erels. Caponizing also tends slightly to increase the weight of the birds. When birds are ten to twelve weeks old they are ready for caponizing, al though it may be done earlier than'this (depending upon their weight. They may be eaponized as soon as the sex can be distinguished easily. After birds liave been eaponized they shquld be kept separate from the other fowls until the wounds are healed. No roosts should be provide^ as the less flying and jumping they do the sooner the wound will heal. Tlie yard into which the capons are put should pro vide them with shelter, food and water, and they should be kept quiet. They seem to be little inconvenienced, by the operation and water and soft feed mixed with sweet skim milk can be given them immediately. Birds to be eaponized should be starved from 24 to C6 hours. Caponiz ing is not a difficult operation, but in order to secure the best results, an experienced operator should be em ployed. Silo Supplies Roughage Needed on Dairy Fanns That the average dairy farmer is bound to be short of roughage this year is the general opinion of men in touch with the situation. To prevent this shortage, Iowa State college sug gests that the silo offers one of the best ways of stretching out the hay supply. “While silage will not entirely take the place of legume hays In the ration of the dairy cow," says John M. Shaw, of the dairy husbandry department, “experimental work has sl»wn that it will save considerable hay and at the same time will reduce the cost of milk and butterfat production. "There is’ still time to build a silo and have it ready for filling this fall, and there Is probably no more profit able investment which a dairyman can make." Harvesting Broom Corn Broom corn is ready to harvest when the seed is in the milk stage. It is customary to “table” the corn first, that is, bend the tops of the adjoining rows over sq the heads lie in a hori zontal position, crossing each other, just high enough to make cutting eas ier. When the heads with a foot or two of the stalk attached are removed they are piled, then hauled to a strip per or thresher, where the seed Is re moved. The brush is then cured and baled for sale. • Various Pastures for Feed To determine the number of head of live stock that can be kept on one acre of various pastures, to learn the length of time that each pasture will afford a good quality of feed, to find the relative gains made by the live stock and to work out a rotation which will include a pasture that will furnish good feed during the hot summer months, is the fourfold purpose of a forage crop experiment now In prog ress at South Dakota State college. Natural Crossing in Oats Is Very Small Experiments Show One Per Cent in Iowar Variety. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) It lias long been recognized that when two varieties of corn are grown in rows side by side a certain amount of natural crossing takes place. A row of white corn growing next to a row of yellow corn, for instance, will pro- duce ears that have numerous yellow kernels. Also it has long been a geu- era! belief that the so-called close-fer tilized cereals, like wheat, oats and barley, very rarely cross naturally; that is, a row of white oats, for in stance, growing beside a row of black oats would produce white kernels only. Artificial methods of crossing the two kinds of oats were necessarily resort ed to when plant breeders desired a cross. Seedsmen, therefore, have grown plats of one strain of oats next to plats' of another strain, feeling as sured that each seed plat would re main pure. Such is not the case, however, ac-’ cording to the UnitAi States Depart ment of Agriculture. Kxpqrimental work with oats at the Akron (Colo.) field station has sliift.vn that without doubt natural crosses do occur in oats the same as in corn, although to far less extent. The extent of natural crossing in oats varied with the differ ent varieties. It was greater iu some selections than others from the same variety. Tlie greatest percentage of natural crosses was observed in the Iowar variety, in which an average of nearly I per cent of crosses was found. The natural crossing of oats is so small that it is of no particular sig nificance to the average farmer even though he does grow his own seed oats. It is of importance, however, to the cereal investigator and nursery seed producers. The need for formulating better methods in plat and nursery technique in conducting experiments with oats is apparent if the factor of natural crossing is to be eliminated. Minerals Assist Chicks in Building Framework The science of feeding growing chicks has developed by leaps and, bounds during the last few years. Tlie discovery of vitamins and their rela tion to poultry feeding, the importance of clean yards and plenty of green feed have made the business of growing poultry more economically successful. During the last few years more at tention has been centered upon the Im portance of a new element In the ra tion for growing chicks—minerals or inorganic material. Minerals supply three distinft functions in the chick's ration. They go to build bone, which is the framework of the future pullet or cockerel.. A good skeleton is one- half the battle, because on it must be attached the meat aiid In it must be carried the organs of reproduction, which produce the marketable product, the egg. I Minerals also have been fouffd by scientific tests to aid materially In the digestion of other foods. Lastly, min erals have been found to exercise a •very definite relation In building up a natural resistance and immunity against disease. This is probably accomplished by keeping the birds In perfect physical condition. What minerals to feed and how to feed them becomes the problem of the feeder of growing'chickens during the summer, so that the pullets may be in the pink of condition as to size and vigor for the heavy winter lay. Using Rape as Pasture for Cattle and Calves Rape may be used as pasture for cattle but there is danger of bloat. This danger” is not so prevalent at first because the animals usually have to acquire a taste for the plant before they will eat large amounts of it, but when they have become accustomed to it the danger of bloat is always present. ,Milk cows being pastured on rape are usually given a heavy feed of grain before being turned on the field so they will not eat so much of it. Plenty of salt should also te fur nished animals that are feeding on rape. It would not be wise to pasture young calves on rape because of the danger of bloat and also because they pull up many of the plants, causing a great deal of waste. Tlie best way to feed rape to cattle is to cut it and then feed It to prevent waste.

By means of plaits, flounces, godets and intricate cut, out lines have become more flowing and the silhouette has made many depar tures from the straight line. This change is more marked in formal coats and dresses .than in utility models, but it is apparent everywhere. In fact, It looks as if a revolution In styles is well started on its way, but Paris sends a modest herald, In the coat can hardly miss scoring ft success In coats of the dressy type. Certain women, gifted with a fine sense of style and possessed of .sufficient money to carry out their ideas, become known for their good taste. Their clothes are so convincing that others follow their lead and soon a vogue is established. “The two- piece mode" has been approved by fashionables everywhere—witness the triumph of jumper suits and blouse- and-skirt ensembles. Here is pictured a late summer blouse, an d . skirt ensemble which shows which way the wind of fashion AN ADVANCE NOTE FROM PARIS sliown above, to break the news gently to us. In this particular model fullness is only Intimated by a short panel of plaits set in across the front of Ibe coat, but the side fastening is de ceiving and the garment wider than it looks. Tliere are two noteworthy style points to Le considered In this coat, besides the adroitly introduced full ness at the front -they are the in genious way in which plaits liave been used to make a, scroll-like trlmmlug and the management of fur In collar and cuffs. Paris is putting fur on coats In devious ways—very often In patches. Here part of the collar and blows. This model, with one or two minor changes, is presented for fall. It is made of buff-colored crepe barred with embroidered stripes In brown and white, to be worn with brown, white or buff skirt'. The tie ,Is brown crepe with white monogram. Note that the crepe is a plain color, that its adorn ment is an all-over paltern. Its lines straight, that it is hip length and you will have In mind a few high lights In fall blouse styles. Long sleeves with narrow cuffs, sash hip bands tlmt tie at the front are other omens of the fall modes and there is talk of higb collars; already scarf collars that may be tied about the neck have made their appearance. But neck lines are LATE SUMMER BLOUSE AND SKIRT a portion of the cuffs are of fur and the remainder of the material used for the.coat—which In this instance Is a dark brown, heavy, crepe-satin. ',Vool Ve1Iours and velours de Iaine are fea tured prominently In autumn coats, duvetyn and similar cloths are popu lar, while the heavy crepe weaves In silk seem to he almost unrivaled. In colors, navy blue, olive green, brown shades and black are in the lead, but gray has considerable representation and other colors are promising. Short- haired furs, uyed to match, are among the new style points under discussion and short fur scarfs, attached to the coats, iu lieu of a collar, are likely to become important In the new modes. Box plaits and fur godets for the pur pose of introducing a flare In skirts, considerably varied and include the “V” shaped front opening, high at the hack, on blouses with surplice front and on long tunic blouses with side fastening, also neck lines. Navy blue or black satin skirts, plain except for inverted plaits, make the background for many blouses. They are sometimes in contrasting color, bordered with bands of satin like the skirt, and revealing odd embroideries in wlilch the same color Is Introduced with others. Small figures, cut from colored cloth, are used. In conserva tive “modernistic” designs, applied to the blouse. Much attention Is given to sleeves which are cut In varied wavs below the elbow. The !long tunic blouse or coat tunic is another story. JULIA IKjTTtIMI.EY. <©. 1926. Western Newapiyer Union.) GRADING o f eg g s BY THE PRODUCER W. H. Lapp of Iowa State college, in discussing this problem, recommends that the grading of eggs be put on a basis of simplicity and practicability to the producer by adopting two grades on the eggs which lie sells to the dealer rather than the more compli cated grades Into which the eggs are finally divided before going to the trade. Tliese grades are: No. I. which shall be eggs of good quality, of clean shell and fair size; grade 2, shall consist of . all small eggs weigh ing less than 19 ounces to the dozen, also all dirties, cracks and washed eggs. AU eggs are of equally good quality when laid. However, if they are to reach the market In good condition the first step must be taken by the pro ducer In seeing that they get proper care and handling. -The kind of eggs- produced is Influenced by tiie quality of the poultry. A standard-bred flock is necessary if the eggs are to run^ uniform. In selecting eggs for Incu-' bution it Is equally essential to keep the type of egg in mind so as to im prove the uniformity of the eggs laid by the flock.. The primary factors affecting qual ity of eggs are soundness, cleanliness and color of shell; the size of the egg, uniformity in size and color of shell. Other factors that influence quality are proper storage, frequent market ing and the production of infertile eggs. Infertile eggs are especially de sirable in summer for the heat often starts fertile eggs to incubating with a resulting loss in quality. Attention to the packing of eggs for market is also a means of reducing loss. Generally the best plan is to use the 30-dozen containers or the or dinary egg cases. This is better than bringiiig the eggs to town in baskets which results In heavy breakage. From the standpoint of the pro ducer the grading of eggs is a step In the right direction. If the majority of farmers will adopt the practice it will not be long before the produce dealers will pity a better price for graded eggs than for ungraded stock or ordinary farm-run. Eggs that are un suitable for market on account of size, color, etc.. can be used at home, as they are Just as desirable as flCSt grade for immediate use. Lice and Mite Control Helps Egg Production To get the most out of your poultry, it Is essential that the hens be kept free of lice and mites, as they Iiinder egg production, and lower the vitality of the birds. Now is the time to rid the flock of all pests. Sodium fluoride has been found to be the most effec tive treatment. Sodium fluoride'may be applied by what is known as the pineli method. A small pinch of the fluoride is carefully rubbed into the skin on different parts of the body. One pinch should be ap plied on the back, one on each thigh and one under each wing. Tliis treat ment will destroy all lice in four or five days. One pound will cost about 35 cents and should be enough to apply by pinch method to about 100 birds, say,s D. H. Hall, extension poultry hus bandman at Clemsen college. . Tlie chicken mites m ake'their home in the house and nesting quarters, so it is necessary to treat these In order to keep the mites in check. The best remedy for mites is old auto crank case oil thinned down with an equal part of kerosene. The roosting and nesting quarters should be thoroughly sprayed in order to prevent the mites from living over tie winter. A good- dusting and spraying now will save a great deal of trouble next spring. Provide Green Food for Poultry While Confined The best way to supply green food for fowls that are confined In yards is to have two yards for each flock. In one of them may be giown any kind of green food, such as oats, rye, wheat,- com, mustard, millet, etc. Turn the fowls on the green food and tlien^soW the other plot, so as to permit it to grow during the time the hens are consuming the green food on the first plot. In this manner a large amount of green food can be provided at a small cost. It is not only the Ialrge animals that improve and give good results on grass, ’ vegetables and clover, but the hens will also be benefited as well if given the liberty of a good range over clover. A grass plot in which clover pre dominates is really better than one of mixed grasses. The large proportion of nitrogen and lime in clover helps induce the hens to lay and keep"' healthy. Oats-Good in Summer Oats will make a good summer feed for chickens as it is not so heat-pro ducing as com. With the feeds that fowls pick up on the range, the oats will answer for summer feed. Most breeders advocate grinding the oats as the whole grain does cause crop bound. It also obstructs tiie' granular stom-’ ach, which is. that part of the diges tive-tract between the crop and giz zard and opening directly into the glz zard. It is much safer to grind tht oats.

By cut rate train, boat or automobile, with parties of friends made up to share the trip, thousands of tourists are expected to be transplanted into the atmosphere of the real West. . Chicago’s new $5,000,000 stadium on Labe Michigan Is to become the capitol of American sport through the efforts of the domestic and foreign commerce committee of tlie Association of Commerce. The story of tlie roundup and the rodeo is tlie story of romance of the real West. Into the nine days of the Chicago event will be packed more daring feats and dynamic action than is the privilege of ninny, to witness In a lifetime, Tex Austin, producer of the most successful cowboy contests, will organize and manage the Chicago spectacle. Cowboys, cowgirls and Bull- doggers, champions all, and brouclios and longhorn steers whlcli have scorned mastery, will tight out the battle royal for supremacy. Prom the "brush” of the Southwest to tlie ranges of Canada, the chal lenge has passed among the buekaroos who have fought out old rivalries at the famous cowboy events in Cheyenne and Pendleton. Not only seeking the glory of victory, they also will compete for more than $30,000 in cash prizes put up by the Chicago association. This is the largest amount given anywhere Iliis year for cowboy contests. “Outlaw” horses, called the worst on the ranges, already are under contract with Tex Austin. Tiiey can’t be ridden, is the promise of their owners. Carloads of steers, conditioned through the sum mer into tlieir greatest strength, will defy the wits of the “bulldoggers.” The stadium Itself is the world's wonder work of architecture. Us mas sive colonnades look down upon a huge arena and tiers of seats for 75,000 persons. It Is set in the ring of-boulevards and parks and on the'lake front, which have won for Chicago the title of the “vacation city." The roundup and rodeo will solve your vacation problems, so tell Mother and Sister and the Kid Brother to quit fretting over the summer’s plans and got ready for the thrills of their lives.

No buckaroo must “show daylight” between himself and his saddle, or he is disqualified. The sport of sports Is the real cowboy contest, and titles for the leader ship in riding, “bulldogging" and roping will golto the buekaroos and cowgirls who compete In tlie Chicago Roundup and World’s Championship Rodeo, which •will bring nine days of frontier life to the metropolis beginning August 15.

It has beet, said that no institu tion not founded on a fundamental human need can live. The reverse of this is also true. This ’ is why the home newspaper, as an institu tion, has survived many things; the onslaughts of individual op position, the increase of paper and printing costs, the peril of unpaid subscriptions, the uncertainty -of advertising pationage, the problems of its own professionial competition and the hazards of its own mis take;.

The general public has gained the impression that this puerility is is the basis of the freouenT reporls from RaHgh that business is jam med in tbe revenue department, or that the department is doing more business t fficiently and at less cost than ever before.

Coolidge Stronger Than- Congress. According to David LavCTence, the well known political writer, President Coolidge is stronger or at least feels himself stronger with public opinion than congress. In the coining congress which meets in December it is stated that the President will insist upon further economy and further reduction in taxes. He will-state his all on this and believes that he will come under the wire a winner. This economy program is wormwood and gall to many congressman who are standing with their hands extended beside the well known pork barrel hoping by some hook or crook that they will gel a large slice of the public funds for their districts and thus help repair their owii fences preparatory to the elections next year. President Coolidge lias strength ened his hold on the people by' re-, fusing to call congress in extra ses sion and he has had the stage all to himself. PIe has kept out of wraug- liugs and controversies and has let well enough alone and iu this way has increased his prestige and hold on the people. He is a conserva tive of the first rank and business men have not been distributed as long as he was at the helm and re fused to listen to the whims and vagaries of the more radical group.

When the work now being done in Guiltord and Forsyth is finished the east and west paved line will extend via Winston-Salem to Mooksvtlle. The road between Harinonv and States ville is payed, and this can be con nected up with • the- .paving at Mocksville by the construction of- some-1,5 miles. The . commission has iu contemplation paving this connection, or following the pre sent route 75 011 to Statesville. That, however, would be practi cally to paralled paviug from County Line to Statesville. The soil road from Mocksville on to the junction with Route 10 at Statesvillebeing fairly good, the alternative route branching to '.Vinston-Salem from High Point,' or from Qreensboro via the uupav ed part of Route io.- The through traveler will one of these days take much satisfaction, in these alternative routes That will be built manly to supply local needs. Such a road as suggested .from Graham, to Raleigh, would save time by the elimination of Durham, with its crowded traffic. Another alternate route on the west that will be afforded is from Lexingington via Mocksville, which would elimi nate both Winston-Salem and. Sal isbury. The cities would not sffer, as everybody who has any business exceprttsgo through would go a" round, thus releiviug- the conges- titfti of the—streets.—Greensboro News. — ■ Tbe Average* Couolry To wo. The average country town, such as we find iliem all over North Caro lina, just a.liamlet, a village, an ag gregation of contented people—is the backbone of America and in cludes the elements of its whole some life. Theaverage small town is com posed of persons who form a grad ing nucleus of thesurroundii gcoun- trj; and striking ti.e.stores in such towns are other small industries ser ving the surrounding countryside. The sphere of influence of tbe av- eraae country town Iiaa been great ly increase by.-the development of the automobile. Where in yeaia past it required a day off to travel fifteen or twenty inile3 to town, it now is a matter of small moment. There is a feature of automob'l- ing that does not p-trticu'arly aid the small town. Thus the town’s sphere of influence has been- widei • ed so has the sphere of influence of the nearest largest town's business ba3 been increased greatly by the use of of the automobile by persons in the same county has not been proportionately increased. Evefythingdependsori local con ditions of course Whatis tbe lar gest towns in some counties is an average towns in others. There is no hard and fast rule; but as a gen ■ eral thing the increased radiu3 of trading afforded by the use of auto mobiles will not aid the average average smali towns if there are larger centers within comfortable auto riding distance, unless the busi ness interests of the small town under sunder such coudiiion3 is for ■ts merchants and business men gen - eraliy to niake every effort to keep themselves before tbe public in the surroundiug towns. It. is fatal to permit the village to be-regarded by auto owners as a mere winding in tbe road toward, the large town. The small town should make its- in fluence felt, should be made- to ex ert an attractive force upon the-sur- rpuhding area. Enterprise and wide awake methods are necessary. If not, the other larger town—usually a bitter rival—will monopolize the trade.—Elkin Tribune. • Pleasure is something like ice cream.

It seems that there is going to b: att automobile war this fall, many manufacturers are cutting prices on their cars. When the price gets low enough the wealthy folks will quit using cars and either ride in airships or walk' Despite the drought, the wind, the-hail and other, things it seems that if. tto calamity hits us worse than what has gone before, Davie chontv will harvest a pretty good crop;'eollon, corn and- tobacco It is hard to keep a working man ■down.. Most of our folks are very much interested in a hard-surface road connecting Mocksville with States ville. It doesn't make much diff-•'.A 'v.ereitcc which; route is selected so we get a good road. This is one of theimost traveled roads in this section and. should be build as early as possible. The price ot tobacco, cotton and • corn is going to be,high from pre sent indications. While the crops will not be" as large as usual iu Davie this fall the farmers may get. as much cash for -their crop as they did last year.;- Ove production has always meant’ low prices. It has been suggested that the officers whose duty it is to destroy captured booze, pour same into some of the manholes around the squafe iustead?oFduuii i ig ^he booze into, the side ^ditches in front of the court- house. . Last week the air arouud the square was^ so heavily charged with corn liquor that some of our strongest prohibitionists came very near losiug their heads. - /A heavy wind., hail and rain storm visited Mocksville last Tues day afternoon .\ -Wind and liail did some damage,to'corn and tobacco. The storm was local only reaching a couple of miles outside the town. The Masonic Picnic. One of the largest crowds ever seen in Mocksville was'here last Thurs day to attend the 47th annual Ma sonic picnic. It is hard to esti mate the number of people and automobiles that crowded the town from early morning . until Jate in che evening. At least two thous and cars were here during the day and a conservative estimate of the crowd would be between twelve and fourteen thousand More than 8.000 people paid gate admission. The annual acdress was delivered by Dr. C. C. Weaver, of Winston- Salem. A number of short speech es were made by prominent Masons present. The Cooleemee band dis pensed good music throughout the^ d-iy. The class fioin the Oxford orphanage rendered an excellent program. Despite the fact that the mercury climbed to the century mark the large crowd present seem ed to enjoyed themselves to the ut most. Tiie merrv-go round; chair- 0 plane, ferris wheel, air ships and other attractions were well patro nized and the numerous refresh'=, mtut stands did a laud-office Imsi ness. The fine dinner was one of the best features of the day. There is nowhere else on earth where better dinners are served than at these annual picnics. A large crowd remained in town Ior the lawn parly Thursday evening—the largest that has ever Stayed over for this part of the program. Tlie crowd was one of the most orderly bodies that has ever assembled in Davie. A large force of officers were 011 duty during the day, but not a.single arrest was made. So far as we have been able to learn there was but two persons under. the influence of liquor and they were, said to be from Winstou-Sa- l;m. The receints from the picnic haven’t been to a’ed ' up at this writing, but it isThought they will go far ahead of last year. More than $2,000 will be turned over to the Oxford orphanage. Tlie only criticism we have heard in regard to the picnic is the amount of gam bling that is permitted. A gentle man from Winston-Salem said that this feature should Jie cut' out. The gauies of chance may be all right at a '011111/ fair but they seem to out ot place at a Ma.ouic picnic, The geutlem in is right iu our opiu ioii For many yeais no gaun S of chauce were allowed here. 6Am ftscoftfy Mdcfcsmts, a. e._ august J9v * Sheek Fftmily Reunion.

Don’t wait for no orders. Jam a clip o’ cart ridges in them cannons and fix them liajnnew. I’ve run out o’ commands. Kear me?

If they Amv resistance—give ’em the bay- ;«net: Do you understand?” There was an unanimous answer. Hart grinned, then suddenly he found Iiiniself swinging with the old swag ger of a line sergeant.

They soon were on the main street, Jiareliiiig toward town, the reflected I 1W1Is sieaniing on their affixed bay- !"ttets, tlie rifles clicking softly with ' 'ttie jar of the steady pace. A block more and Bart brought his company eJto a hull, j.’jve minutes later, split uIi into three segments, the work of die night was on.

We’ll put your name In the corner-stone of the new city hall and jail. Mr. Clerk, call the next case!” Bart laughed, joyously and happily, and moved on. But at the corner he halted. / Up in the office of “Bull” Franniston a lamp was burning. Two men were there—Bart could not see their forms —but the shadows against the back wall and celling were evident. It was “Bull” Frannlston and the man who cared to be known to the world only i|s Leon Barrows. “Get over there and guard that door!” Bart gave the order hurriedly to his legionnaire. Then Bart’s atten tion centered again upon the room above. Plainly, from the shadows, the men were quarreling. “Give me back ^hat memorandum!” shouted “Bull.” “Hear me? Give me back that memorandum!” A second’s pause,' while tlie' other man apparently pleaded for restraint. “Bull” flung wide his arms. “I don’t care who hears m e! I want that memorandum. Understand? Every thing In the world I’ve got’s in that safe and I ain’t going to have the com bination in your hands or anybody else’s." “But—’’ The other voice also had lost its caution. “But, nothing! You’ve crooked me already and you’re getting ready to crook me again. They’ll be after me in a minute—that Rogers gang—and I ain’t going to leave this office with you holdiug any cards up your sleeve.” From across the street Bart Rogers saw the great form lurch forward. A big hand went out to grasp about the standard of the old oil lamp. Tiien with another cursing demand, the giant form of “Bull” Franniston “I’ve Heard—the Whole Thing,” He Blurted. swerved forward, the lamp swinging high over his head as he raised it to send It crashing toward his unseen visitor. Higher, higjier went the flam ing thing, farther traveled the lever- like arm as It summoned every atom of its strength, then— A crash! A popping, puffing ex plosion! A roar which turned sud denly to an agonized scream. The lamp had traveled too far to the rear. The hand of “Bull" Fraimiston had •crashed it against the wall, and now he stood, a transfixed thing of scream ing, horrible fear, while the burning oil enveloped him in a creeping mantle of death! “B lankets!” Bart Rogers roared the order as he raced across the street. “B lankets—canvas—anything?” A careening tent «f a deserted "doil- rack” stood near by where its owner had left it to travel to the stockade. One great wrench and Bart had torn half Its side away, and leaping up the stairs, crashed against the locked door of “Bull” Franniston’s office. The ancient bolt broke under the pressure; an Instant later Bart tumbled Into the room, to rush toward the writhing, flame-wrapped being which struggled PgnInaf the wall on the other side of the room. Barrows was gone—a glance toward an open window leading to a lower roof told Bart the method of 6Xlt<He ifinally succeeded In enveloping Bull’s head and shoulders in the heavy -loth A second more, and steps sounded on the stairs. Bart, struggling to evade and fight the flames at the same J-ImA turned excitcdly* “Quick* men I” he. shouted, “hold th at stpif In front of you—and rush hlTliey finally succeeded In smother- inff the flames and the parts of the Sfom th it were ablaze. Then Bart turned to the Injured man. His face was swollen and distorted, his hands clutched and grasped in agony. Mum bling words came dlsjointedly from his blackened lips. . “He’s got the combination—he’s got the combination—” Then, slowly, gaspingly, “Bull” Frannlston lapsed> in to unconsciousness. Bart Rogers rose. “Try to ' make some sort of a stretcher out of these blankets," he ordered. “Then carry him up to the hotel and get a doctor as quick as you can.. I’m afraid he’s done for.” B art followed the careful litter car riers to a corner a block away. But there he swerved, and, calling a strag gler, from an arresting detachment as it passed, he drew him aside. “Come with me,” he ordered briskly, and, edging across the street, sidled to the stairway # f Frannistoa’s building. Bart crept up the stairs and into the shadows of the office. ( “Take that corner over there,” he commanded. “Don’t move until I give the order.” His aide crawled cautious ly to the blackness of a eubby-hole formed by the jutting end of a desk. A closet was near by. Bart entered it, leaving the door hall open. Then he prepared to wait—how long, or for whom lie did not know. An hour passed, while the street outside grad ually quieted and the sharp, barking orders of raiding Legion men grew fewer and fewer. After a long time the night train whistled in, and re mained at the station far past its usual departing time—all for the good reason that men and women, convinced at last that their presence no longer was desired, were departing by the wholesale for other fields, where, per haps, ’they might be welcomed. It brought a sense of relief to Bart Rogers, a sense of victory and of— Of tensity! For with the “high ball” whistle of the engine as the train left the little station there came a scraping sound at the rear of the long office, followed by the stealthy form of a tall, thin man as he clambered over the window ledge and crept toward th,e safe! CHAPTER XI “Bull” Confesses A muttered curse came from -the shadowy figure that had entered, then, consulting a memorandum, he resumed his task of robbery. r To the right and to the left < sped the knob, and this time there seemed to be more of sureness in the man’s touch, more of confidence. The bolts clicked; a second more .and the heavy door was swinging slowiy toward him. Then, like some writhing animal, Iie moved forward, the flashlight reflect ing Its glow upon his features as he searched tlie contents of the safe. Leon Barrows! The flashlight was laid on the floor of the safe, as both hands were occu pied in holding, for the moment, the desired thing, found at last. After that, the paper was folded and jammed into a pocket, the flashlight was ex tinguished; the man rose and— “Up with your hands!” Bart had leaped from the closet and was cover ing the shadowy form with his re volver. From the other corner ot the room the aide came forth, his rifle lev eled. “Up with ’em, Barrows!” The man In the shadows whirled. He dodged and twisted, then with one writhing leap made for the window. Bart’s finger cramped on the trigger. There was a flash of yellow flame and then the wriggling form of a man on the floor. Across the room the legion naire had lowered his rifle, and, his bayonet ready for act'on, had raced to a position in front of the wounded man. “Stop that crawling or n i run you through with this bayonet! Mr. Rogers!' Come here, quick! He’s try ing to stuff something Into his mouth! He's trying to swallow something!” Quickly Bart went forward, clubbing his revolver and stunning the fallen man with a sharp blow. Leon Bar rows sank motionless and Bart strad dled him, both hands prying at the tight, clenched jaws, to free the pa per enclosed there. A moment latei he gained his objective and rose.' “Help me get him to the hotel,” h» ordered. “It’ll be easier if we do H before he regains consciousness.” (TO BE CONTINUED.)

W ashington.—A rising tide of real, pre-war beer is flowing through the east, challenging every effort of the prohibition’ departm ent to check its circulation, and' is TapidJy displacing hard liquors as the m ajor commodity of syndicate bootleggers, according to Prohibition Director Merrick. Three carlods of beer seized by pro hibition agents from Mr. M errick’s of fice, bringing the total seizures dur ing the past 30 days to <!,000 barrels, valued at $100,000. The increase in beer traffic is trace able to the m anufacture of real beer by supposedly defunct breweries, lo cated in the main in New Jersey an d M assachusetts and Pennsylvania, the director said. A competitive famine of hard liquors due to the disposal of the rum fleets was declared to be an other. factor giving impetus to its popularity. , 'IaVestigation by agents has disclos ed that the greater part of the beer flowing into eastern cities is coming from breweries located in and about Scranton, Pa.,” Mr. M errick said, “but we have seized considerable beer con signed by freight from New Jersey and M assachusetts. Tc combat the new situation, special investigators have been assigned to mop up” offending districts in the middle Atlantic states, Mr. M errick said. Special attention will be direct ed toward the security of freight cars, by means of which most of the bever age is shipped. Little beer is trickling over the bor der from Canada, the director said. Investigation of seizures, however, huve shown- the location of the beer manufacturing centers are not confin ed to the east, he said, much of the illicit beverage filtering into the east from Chicago. The flow is in both directions. i Board Asks For pig Sum.

Swampscott, Mass.—In a series of conferences President Coolidge stud ied budget estim ates tot next year, re ceived a report on the postal rate problem and was given late informa tion as to the Alaskan fisheries situa- tion. Director Lord of the budget present ed to the executive a tentative budget estim ate for the next fiscal year call ing for a reduction of $20,000,000 in appropriations. W ith increases necessary in some departm ents, heavy slashes have been called for in others and it is under stood the new budget hits hard on the arm y and navy appropriations. Mr. Coolidge has declared that while he wanted adequate national defense he believed it should be m aintained on the sm alest sum necessary. Although it is likely next year’s bud get will pare down the m ilitary appro priations it is also understood that the aviation branches will not suffer. About $20,000,000 for aviation' was -authorized for this year and this sum is declared to be all that can be con sumed in the annual output of the present aviation m anufactures. A slash in next year's appropriations coupled with a surplus in the treasury now of $250 000,000 and a prospective surplus of $290,000,000 at the close of this year w arrants tax reductions of at least $300,000,000, Mr. Lord told the executive.

W ashington.—A formal communica tion pressing for the return of Ger m an propety seized by the United* States during the w ar has been pre sented to Secretary Kellogg by tbs German am bassador. No com m ent was available a t the state departm ent beyond admission that the communication was being considered.

In the. absence of the text of the German communication’ or any state m ent as to the present attitude of the W ashington governm ent ,it is not possible to say w hat change in the situation as to disposal of German property is forecast by the reopening of diplomatic correspondence on the question.

Since the ratification of the' treaty, the adm inistration consistently has held that, in adopting the resolution. Congress took out of the hands of the executive branch of the governm ent authority to. deal w ith disposition of the property. Congress, it has been contended, m ust declare its will as to w ltt shall be done with sequestered German property before action can be taken. ' - Chinese Guards Fire Into Mob.

Overfeed ing causes digestive troubles. These are some of the suggestions made by the department of animal husbandry of the New York State Agricultural college at Ithaca on the raising and care of calves., ^JChe first thing to' remember, says the college, us that no calf should be raised for dairy use unless it comes of first-class parentage—from a pure bred sire and a high-producing dam. Granting this heritage, the dairy calf will respond to, and .should receives careful handling. - It is best to let the calves stay with their mothers for two or three days after birth. Then they should be taught to drink from a bucket. • Care should be taken to see that tfie pail is clean for, as every farmer knows, calves are subject to digestive dis orders. The calf should get froth 6 to 12 pounds of whole milk daily for the- first three weeks and then may be gradually switched over to skim milk and a little grain. Most farm ers find it best to give the calf its grain im mediately after it has finished drinking the milk. A good concentrate allow ance will contain muscle and bone; building nutrients and will contain some fat to replace a part of that abstracted from the m ilk.' H ere are three rations which have been fpund good: Corn 3 parts, bran 3 parts, oats- 9 parts, oil meal I part. ’ . Corn 5 parts, oats or bran 3 parts, oil meal I part. O ats 3 parts, bran I part, ,oil meal I part. In te rtilla g e P r a c t i c a l P la n t o D e s tr o y W e e d s IVe can't grow- food plants and MTeils at the same time. That’s been demonstrated many, many times. The v.eeds must be Ilestroyed and inter- TiIIage is the only practical way of destroying them. Since most all land is weedy this theory helps us but lit tle. Rut the question is, is this the ory correct for all kinds of soil? Tiie problem of tillage for sandy or iiiljiviiti soils is quite different than' fur clay or heavy soils. Crops grow ing on sandy or alluvial soils may get Iiloiig quite wqll without tillage if there are no weeds, but how about the clay soils? Individual Jarm ers hive tried this and, as' a result, they got no corn or beets, even where there "ere no weeds. Sandy or ajjuvial soil nnd any .soil containing abundance of iiuinns will remain mellow without til-, '.age, but clay soil settles down hard- i.nd is almost impervious to air and moisiure. MTtere it is kept cultivated this does not happen and better cropS ure secured. A man considered an authority on foil problems once said: 4MVeeds are t good thing, they’re a blessing to most fanners, for if there were no weeds, people would not cultivate as mncli as they Should. Cultivating not only kills the weeds but it iigproves Uie physical condition of the soil.” D escrib es D e v e lo p m e n t o f N e w S m u t le s s W h e a t Br. E. F. Gaines, cerealist at the Washington Agricultural Experiment ftation, gave an illustrated talk on £is WorlJl in cereal breeding before the iigrononiy seminar of the Kansas State Agricultural college. His studies have been primarily In smut diseases and in resistance of wheat varieties ^to smut infection. Tests of the degree of resistance to smut infection were con ducted on more than 700 varieties of "'Iicnt a few of these were found to ke partially resistant Crosses were made between resist ant varieties with a hope of combin- mg the good qualities of each and smut resistance. The cross, Turkey S Florence, gave promising results, turkey wheat used in the cross was fecured from the Kansas station about 1IKIC. a number of strains from the cross were thoroughly tested for .about feven years and the most promising named Ridit. This variety,’ now ,n the ninth generation, shows almost complete immunity to stinking smut.

When the ground is becoming cool, in Septem ber, the soil should be pulled up around the plants a little at a time until it is half way to the top. Before much soil is drawn up, the bunches should be tied. ’ This is quickly done by beginning at one end of a row with a ball of twine, one end of which is tied to-a stake driven in the ground. Beginning with the first bunch of cel ery, draw the leaves together with one hand, and with the other make a turn of the string about that bunch, then on to the next without cutting the string, merely keeping it tight between stalks. In this way the leaves are held compactly together without being tied too tightly. Not before frost should more earth be thrown up, for it tends to rot the stalks if banked while (lie weather is warm. Celery will stand a killing frost or .even a light freeze without injury, but will be destroyed if frozen hard. W hen the earth is ,,cool, some time between the first frost and the freezing of the ground, the soil should be drawn up from each side to within a few inches of the top. !Double rows will- save some labor in banking. Some make a practice of adding more earth with the approach of cold weather, then a covering of litter or corn fod der, so that the celery may be left where it grew through the winter stor age period. This method requires a great deal of labor both in storing and taking out, and is not to be recom mended. ' * Women Have Tired of Out fit; Not Sb Practical as Was Promised. MTth summer fashions crystallizes it is consistent to take a peep into the future and ask—MTmt next? .”S.uinmer successes .will be carried over into the fall,” says Henri Ben- ddl, New York fashion authority, “and short-lived fads and unpopular styles will be dropped. “This means -we shall have no dim inution of chiffon and crepe frocks, printed or plain, and that high colors and unusual shadings and blendings will be featured. “For the ensemble costume that was the rage this spring, the future is not so promising—at least, not for the ensemble as we now conceive it with matching coat and dress. “In the first .place, women have tired of it. That, you know, finishes any mode. In the, second place, it is not so practical as it promised to lc. Usually the Sress outlasts the coat and the coat is useless without the dress, or the coat is highly satisfac tory and the dress not so, much so, making the combination bad.” Women-will keep to this idea of har mony in dress, the authority asserts, and will buy no wrap’ without con sidering the costumes that are to be worn with it, hut there will be less actual matching of materials and trimmings. “As to lines in general, I anticipate no radical changes for a few months," he said. “The.waistline is on its way up, I believe.

The introduction of materials that -are 54 Inches wide has done much to simplify m atters for the home dress maker who frequently found the prob lem of cutting and planning narrower fabrics t«. achieve the desired results almost beyond her ability.' Many of the frocks which come from the salons of certain of the best known Paris couturiers'and American designers are ,adapted to the use of these wider materials.

R e c o v e ry F ro m in flu en z a H a ste n e d b y PE-RU-NA That caponlzing pays but (hat capons ,do not gain anywhere near w hat is claimed by some, Is indicated by the results of an experiment con ducted by the poultry department at South Dakota State college. According to these claims, the capon , should gain twice as much as a rooster of. the same, age and breed, but a 10 per cent' ’gain is about the best to expect. The lighter breeds like Leghorns, do not really gain at all. Since chickens usually hatch late on the farm and since there is usually plenty of feed, caponlzing will prob ably pay the faryner. The birds should be caponized when developing wattles and combs,' or better when they weigh about two pounds In the American or medium-weight breeds. The capons can be shipped in barrels holding 150 to 200 pounds, during January and February, and bring a good price. Two weeks before marketing, the capons should be put in close quarters and fed on fattening rations, such as milk, • corn meal, bran, tankage, etc. Any combination like corn and inilk Is very good. During the time' previous to these two weeks, the cap'ons can be fed on corn and can be allowed to run with the pullets. In dressing capons for market, only the soft4 feathers need be removed. The coarse feathers on the wings, tail, etc., may be left on. The capons must be dry-picked, if a good price Is ex pected. 1V As capon feathers, especiallyi white ones, are In demand and will pring from 85 to 90 cents per pound, the farmer can afford to keep them clean and dry and the colors unmixed. To have capons mother little chicks does not pay. This means that capons have to be kept over winter. Three or four dollars are thus invested In them, whereas an old hen would do better. M u s t F e e d H e n s M a s h ’ t o F il l S u m m e r E g g B a s k e t "Hens will not lay eggs in the sum mer unless they are supplied with all the mash they can eat,” says Duncan H. Reid of the poultry department, ‘University of M’isconsin. During the spring months, the wet ground and grass are full of insects which pro vide plenty of animal feed , for the hens, but when summer comes the In flects disappear and this lack of ani mal food must be supplied through the mash. j A good ration recommended by Mr. ReId consists of 100 pounds of ground com, 100 pounds of ground oats, 100 pounds of wheat bran, 100 pounds of wheat middlings, 100 pounds of meat scrap, and 5 pounds of salt. W hen milk is fed with the mash, the meat scrap should be cut in half. “A hen should receive two ounces of grain a day and all the mash she can eat,” says Mr. Reid. "The grain ration should consist of com supple mented with 25 per cent wheat and oats. ,This Is contrary to the gener al telief th at com furnishes too much heat. Tests have shown that the best results are obtained when this ration is used. The grain should be fed a little In the morning and heavy at night. The mash should be changed at least once a week. A lack of oys ter shell .during' the sirrdmer months will cut egg production in half. Green feed, such as clover, when mixed with the mash, has a decided advantage even-if the green feed is ' growing in the yard.” M r. C. A. Allen, R. R.

ByrjS1 U. S. N., In command ot the naval detachment ot the Mac Millan Arctic expedition under the aus pices ot the National Geographic so ciety, has forwarded to the Navy de partment a definite plan of operations with the three navy amphibian planes In exploring the Polar regions, plans for the establishment ot bases, ant* the difficulties and precautions necessary In airplane expeditions in that climate. Spectacular dashes will be avoided and the unit will feel its way as it goes as the difficulties facing it are unknown, but as far as possible emergencies will' be provided for. "The base on the Polar sea will be either at Cape Columbia. Grant Land, or Cape Thomas Hubbard, Axel Hei berg Land, depending upon-which seems to afford the best landing places en route. It is kno^yn that-there are land ing facilities at the two above men tioned capes," the communication says. “To load an airplane to the limit Is hard on Its engine as too many revolu tions per mluute are required to get proper speed of the plane, causing lessened reliability of engine perform ance. To Have Half-Way Base. "Therefore an Intermediate base will be fonued between the main base at or near Etah and the base on the Polar sea. This base should be mid way between the two bases, or about 150 miles from Utah. Ammunition, firearms, engine fuel and food will be put at both bases and in addition the base on the Polar sea will have a small tent, some food and spare parts, a radio operator and a radio set. smoke bombs, field glasses, a Primus (blow torch) stove, kerosene, planes’ stakes and lashes for bad weather and one Eskimo and dog. The Eskimo and /dog are taken along as an emergency measure In case It becomes necessary to live on the country. At least two months’ supply of food will be taken to the base on the Polar sea. “If the Polar sea base is put at Cape Thomas Hubbard the first long flight over the Polar sea will probably be 319 degrees true course. "All compasses will be checked by the sun compass and when the sun is bright this compass may be used en tirely a? the other compasses are sub ject to the errors of the theoretical variation which will be out as much as five or ten degrees from the actual variation. * "As an aid In navigating a small amount of a solution of permanganate of potash will be dropped on the snow every fifteen minutes. Compass radio hearings will also be used whenever possible. AU Planes to Have Radio. “Al! three planes will' he used to form the base on the Polar sea. Two planes will go together on flights from this base and the third plane will re main at the base as a reserve plane. AU Ihree planes will be equipped with radio. “At least one of the two planes fly ing over the Polar sea must have a mechanic on board to repair the en gine if possible in case of a forced landing. "AU members of the naval unit are being required to learn to 9end and receive radio. “The plane left at the base should have assigned to.it a competent navi gator and before each flight he will be given all details relating to the course to be steered so that rescue work can be competently carried out. "Only two persons can go In each plane In the Polar sea flight. On ac count of the extra gasoline tanks nec essary there will not be room for nav igation carrying a third person. Also a third person would cut down too much the radius of action of the plane."

Leningrad N ow D rab Picture Shorn of Former Glories Its Population Is Fast Dwindling. Leningrad, Itussia.—No city In Rus sia has been more profoundly affect ed by the revolution and its afterm ath than Leningrad, the old capital. Once the “head” of Russia, as Moscow was its “heart,” the old St. Petersburg seems even to have lost its intellectual supremacy and its artistic prestige. The city is merely a decaying monu ment of the past. The removal of the capital to Mos cow would Inevitably have spelled Leningrad’s doom as a political center, but the metropolis jvhlch Peter the Great built more than 200 years ago has greatly deteriorated in other re spects, Most of Its great, public build ings and. private mansions are falling into ruin for lack of money with which to repair them. AU the fine foreign embassy build ings, including that formerly occupied by the Americans, show the ravages* of time, weather and - neglect. The winter palace, the admiralty, all the elegant edifices along the Neva, the pat aces of the nobles, wear a dull, drab dress as if mourning for the past. Population Dwindles Fast. The population has decreased from l.GOO.OOO to G50.000. The foreign visi for expresses wonder how even (Ids reduced number can support them selves, for the city has few Industries and there is much unemployment,, The business life of the city is confined al most entirely to halting retail trade.

The small retail stores, bazaars, arcades, confectioners, emporiums and bookshops, that once made the broad thoroughfare vie with Fifth avenue in New l’ork, have given place to unattractive co-operative and state stores, cheap cinema theaters and Communist centers. Al) credit, however, must be given the Bolsheviki for having, on their slender means, kept the public mu seums, picture galleries, parks and other places up to their former stand ards. As In the days of ’the czars, the Hermitaze Fine Arts museum retains its place as one of the finest In all Europe. Its collection of Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Murillo, Velasquez, Sny ders and W ouverman paintings is said to be superior to that of the Metro politan museum In New York. The Bolsheviki appear to have shown the same indifference and lack of sentiment toward Leningrad as a political center as the, Turks have manifested toward Constantinople. In removing tha seat of government from Leningrad to Moscow the BoIshevikL like the Turkish Nationalists, who transferred their capital to Angora, were actuated by reasons of security. They believed the site which Peter Ihe Great chose for the national capi tal on the shores of the Gulf of Finland exposed them too much to the danger of foreign attack. There was nothing, they said, to prevent any of the Euro pean navies from sweeping across the Baltic sea and the Gulf of Finland and invading Russia's shores. Moreover, there are few railroad highways out of Leningrad by w.Mch the Bolshevik! could Ilee in tile event of foreign attack, while In Morcow there. are many convenient exit's if tlie government should ever be pressed to leave the capital in a hurry.

GUARD PALACE DOORS 100 YEARS, NOBODY KNEW WHY « - Search for Economies In French Gov ernment Reveals Functionary Con tinued for Century. . Paris--A temporary functionary who with bis successors has held a job for more than a hundred years has been found In the search for economies ad- .vocated by a ,long string of finance ministers - and now by M. Caillaux. This supernumerary is the sentinel at the Palais Bourbon, where the cham ber of deputies meets. After the fall of the first republic and preceding the restoration one of the back doors of the palace whicb seemed to offer too many chances for Iiesieging political mobs was heavily barred and double locked and a sen tinel with fixed bayonet there to see that the door was left closed. Since that day governments have come .and governments have gone, more than a hundred of them in succession have had their short try at satisfying the parliamentarians who sit there, and nutoiniitically the sentinel has been replaced. Never had it occurred to anyone to. ask why the man paced up and down' on the sidewalk in front of a door that required the genius of a super burglar to open until recently a member of the commission which passes on the chamber’s expenses asked for a list of the soldiers and police detailed to guard the salons of France. Then K was learned that for moi;e than a hundred yefirs a sentinel, placed there about tlieStime of the restoration on purely temporary service, had been au tomatically replaced ever since. The discovery set some of the depu ties to thinking of serious reforms. It was asked, for instance, why such an extremely democratic president of ,tlie chamber as M.

In Wales, sneezing is considered general ly unlucky. In India, the significance of a sneeze depends very much on the circum stances under which it is beard. The formula for calculating its significance is as follows: Add the number of days between Sunday and the dayiof the week on which the omen has occurred to the number of jaumans, t.e» watches, (of three hours each), that have elapsed since the daybreak on the day In, question, and subtract the total from eight If the rem ainder Is one, the sneezing portends harm from ene mies; if two, it -forbodes illness; if three, fear of starvation; if four, it foretells receipt of good new s; if-five, the coming of'friends; if six, fit Indi cates coming prosperity; If seven, it indicates bad luck; if eight; it fore shadows a great tumult. These are for single sneezes. Ifth e sneezing whieh is to be Interpreted is a double sneeze the opposite of these will happen. If it is a series of sneezes if is all unlucky. As a rule the sneez ing of men is auspicious for women, and vice versa. But the sneezing of a widow, or of an armed man, or a man with disheveled hair, is always of evil im port; as also that of the cat, cow, sheep, buffalo, or a number of women. But the sneeze of a woman carrying a baby In her arms is a fore teller of great riches. If another sneeze when one is taking medicine, or get ting in a vehicle, or taking a seat, or studying a book, or planting seed, it is a lucky omen. A pious Brahmin always touches his -right enr when he sneezes, In order to prevent the entry into the body of evil spirits, -which are supposed to do so chiefly through the ears. It spoils one's peace of mind to think that whenever one sneezes one is, blasting the hnppiness of another man, or spoiling the chances of success in Iys undertaking. The significance of a white man's sneeze has not yet: however, been discovered, and included iu tlie lore of Indian superstitious. - G ' What Party Consists Of “I wish to protest,” wi-ltes a woman, “against a habit of saying in every notice of a party that ‘refreshments were served.’ Of course they were served. If there had been no refresh ments there would have been no party, for that is all the hostess thinks of, and is the first and last thought in the minds of the guests. Some men and women will stay out of bed till midnight, the men because they can’t help themselves and the women be cause they want to see what there will be to eat, and the eating,''which doesn't appear before 10:30. consists of a dab of ice cream, a. fistful! of cake and perhaps coffee to keep the victims awake, the rest of the night. Of course refreshments were served I- That is all there is to a social affair.” —Atchison Globe. Odd Welsh Architecture The old High street of Conway In north'W ales Is characteristic of Great Britain in nothing more than in its mix ture of architectural styles and chance effects, says tlie-Christiad Science Mon !tor. Saxon. Norman. Flemish. Tudor, early Victorian and n touch of Got.lilc are all shown in the' few buildings liet-e represented. Could we see more of this typk-ally.Britlsh High street, doubltess we should find “Queen Anne” in evl-, dence somewhere; also late Victorian and Neo-Georgian are well represented. Town planning, as one'so often sees It In otiier countries, was never quite the custom in Orear Britain. A street in one of her towns represents very much more than a mere page in her history. How Bryan Kept Cool William Jennings Bryan once told how he kept cool when making a speech. J “Do you know,” lie observed, “that ivlien I am addressing an audience in a pariculnrly warm hall, I take a small piece of ice about the size Of a pul let’s egg.

Bitter though the pill must be, Vall Street is obligated to declare Henry Ford the world’s first billion- aite. Wall Street watches Henry like a hawk and when the Ford Mo tor Company filed its balance sheet for 1924 with the Massachusetts Commissioner qf Corporations, as required by law, Wall Streeters sharpened their pencils and figured up. tha total vulue-of the company to b- $863,000 000- This is on the Iias'- is of shares being worth ltSlOOO. which is said to be the extreme m.ininutn estate But the making of car-= i-= on I v one-of Ford's money making interests Hemanufactures t-ac.n r> and airnliines and operates brat lines, rai rnab, lumber cam) s ann coal mines, all of which add to the total va'ue of his property and brings it above $1,000 000 000. A comparison of assets and Iiabili ties for 1924 and 1924 irdicates that the surplus < f the Ford Motor Com pany was increased by $100,435,416 during 1924. and the Wall Street es timators put this down, as the net profit for the year. The company mid a 2.100 000 cars arid trucks last year, which would mean an average profit of $47 on each mtichine. . Pro- fi s on the 172,645 shares of stocks may be estimated in the same way. At a par value of $100. profits would be $582 per share, or 582 per cent Ne, you cannot buv any of this stock at any figure, it TsriT for sale Last year was Ford’s Iiest year.

The age during which children are attending school may aptly be called "The Dangerous Age.” It is the period of rapid growth and every care should be taken to insure the child of a nor mal and healthy body. The idea of eating only fit and wholesome foods should be early impressed on the younger members of every family In order to protect them against later ill health and its accompanying nnhap: piness. If the utmost care is not taken In the diet that is used by children, cases of food poisoning, indigestion and kindred ailments may result. And milk, being the chief Item In the diets of most children, should be carefully guarded. It is, because of- Its nature, prone to Infection if ex posed to germs and may soon become unfit for use. W hereyer there Is the slightest reason for doubt as to its purity and food value, steps should be trken to insure the sterility and the fitness of milk intended for consump tion by children. Many mothers have adopted the excellent practice of using milk that Is absolutely pure and sterile and free from any germs or bacteria. The most satisfactory, as well as the safest milk used in preparing food for the growing child is evaporated rallk- It is sterile, anti therefore safe. It is more digestible than m arket milk. Its uniformity, convenience and coBt are qualities that recommend it. The following dishes are weii suited to the needs of the growing child; they are easily digested and very nourishing : Caramel Custard. I. cup evaporated milk diluted with I cup water 3 eggs . .. . Scald the diluted millt. Caramelize the sugar and add to milk to dissolve. Beat eggs Blightly. add sugar, salt, and flavoring and combine with scalded milk. Pour into custard cups and set In a pan of hot w ater and cook In a moderate oven? When done, - a knife blade run In the center .will come out clean. Fish Chowder, I pint raw fish cut- 3 cups boiling in 1-inch dice w ater6 small potatoes, I cup evaporated sliced milk diluted t onions chopped withfine I cup water H pound fat salt 6 crackers pork, sliced Fry. out tbe salt pork, When brown, remove pieces of pork and put fish, po tatoes, and onions In kettle. Cover with boiling water. Simmer until po tatoes are tender. Add the milk and cook S minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper. Just before serving add the crackers. *4 cup sugar (caram elized)- 2 tbsp. su g ar % tap. salt 4 tsp. vanilla I Pains 4 Very Severe =^l “I suffered from womanly B troubles whieh grew worse ^ S n and worse as the months ■ “ I went by,” says Mrs. L.

C. *«7 Q f t a CAMPING AND PROBLEM OF FOOD Tliere is no henlth’er sport than camping. During the warm und balmy spring and summer days, it Is real recreation. To get out In the fresh air and sunshine, free from worry and care, enhances the health of any one, be he office man, salesman or what not. But due to the'onlireiy inadequate ineank of food preservation and re frigeration found In the majority of .catnps, there is the ever-present,, dan-- ger of sickness froin infected foods. The utmost care must be tak en 'In or der 'that this may be avoided. Butter and eggs should be Iiought only as used. The milk is a problem in itself. Per haps the solution lies in the use of a milk other-than m arket milk, in order that purity and sterility may be as sured. For such use, evaporated milk is ideal. Many people are wont to con fu se evaporated and condensed milk but there is uo similarity between the two. Condensed milk is a combina tion of sugar afid milk and can be used only when both of these sub stances are desired. Evaporated milk -is merely pure, fresh milk with about sixty per cent of the water removed 'and the nutrient content left Intact. It is absolutely sterile and pure, hav ing been sterilized before leaving the factory. The water, removed by evap oration, may be replaced very easily and the milk returned to Ita original volume. Evaporated milk may be ob tained in small cans, containing six ounces or in larger ones containing sixteen and can be taken to the camp in quantities sufficient for the needs of the entire period, thus assuring, a’ con stant supply of pure, fresh milk w ith out the worry or the danger attached .to the use of the m arket product. Following are recipes'for a few dishes that are best adapted for camp consumpiiou because of ease of prepa ration, purity and food value. Tomato Soup.

One is that more of the hurdeu of taxation ought to be levied 011 the sudden riches acquir ed Ky the geutlem.ni who toil not neither do they spin. As the Pro gressive Farmer repeatedly said: VVe ought to . tax the grains of thrift and industry less, the gains of chance or inheritance more.’ The secoud thought is that the hundreds of millions aud probably billious of dollars of gaiu iu the mere site value of city (exclusive of buildings and improvements) these last ten or twenty years cou- stitut.e.a permanent tax ou all con sumers Land goes up a id instant ly rents go up, both manufacturers' and merchants must raise their prices to take care of increaied reiits, both city consumers foot bill Tliisisone reasou for the “high cost of living’ which is now bear ing so heavily ou both rural and urban workers.” If you are. still afflicted with a severe case of the “Florida fever” take a fool’s advice and take a trip down there and there and look oyer the. lay of the laud before paitiug with your hard earned cash. It is dangerous to buy ‘‘a pig in a poke” aud it will not always pay to listen to the siren song of the for eigu real estate dealer.

Davidson county' farmers have turned thousands of acres of land for fall ’sowing since the drouth was broken by the rains of some ten days ago, but to David Young, of near Liuwood, farmer on the Catawba Old People Predict Hard Winter. Father Gabriel, of France, is not the only one who has been predicts iiig a long and hard winter for 1925 26, according to Fred H/ Lvtton1 of Catawba. He baseshispredictions on the Welborn place, perhaps goes the lunar solar cycle of 744, years. palm for progress made in turning th<2 soil. ^Ir. Young started in Friday morning, .August 7, with the re gulation number of plows hitched to a tractor aud by.

The trac tor kept going day and might, ex cepting the Saubath of course: The heavy rain that fell iu Lexington Thursday afternoon was only a comparatively light shower where Mr. Young was plowing. It is estimated that it would have while aged observers of the eastern part of Catawba county base theirs on the conditions existing from 1S80 to 1SS2 which they believe are repealing themselves. Theysay the summer.of 1S81 was as dry and hot, if not more so, than the winter following was the severest known to aged -people ot that datej Snow fell almost every week-end for six or seven weeks and would begin to melt and then freeze over.

The bill read: “Two visits—$10.” You’re a roober.” said Mr. Bangs 'Five dollars-a visit! It isn’t worth it.” “I'll rewrite the bill,” said the doctor aud Bangs smiled. . They couldn’t put anything like that over ou him. Then the doctor wrote: “To get- tiug out of bed at 2 a. in , answer ing telephone, disturbing wife. Iressing,' going to garage, cranking tin Lizzie,’ two mile drive in the cold, saving baby’s life, return to garage, waking wife,, undressing, getting back into bed—$10.” . He said to Bangs': “I won’t make any charge for the secoud visit, aud you ueed not pay for-^tlie first unless you feel I have earned the money.” Mr. Bangs paid the bill.

Deinncra1 ic to the core, and acknowledged to the leading Democratic paper of the e iuiitry. inHts estimate of the two years of Coolidjfein the White House has nothing but praise of ihe Presi dent and is frank to acknowledge that he-is one of the really “big men” of the century. “There ia.no gait-Baying the popu larity ofthisinauvvhom the nation did. not know in 1923” says the Word. “There is no disputing: we' heliece, that this popularity rests chiefly upon the nation’s owji make up as a man and upon the happy s.vine of the country away from the abnormalities of the war and toward, the norin«ltieB of peace. For it is fair to point.out thar. if Mr Coolidee is an immensely popular President, as the v\orld believes he is, Mr Coolidge is an immensely popular President with little of his own pro posing written into the record of these two years. At home Mr. Coo Iidge lias fouaht cliiefl/ for the Mel lon plan, for economy aud for recog nition of the government bureaus and departments. Congress has knifed^the Mellon plan, thrown the Soldiers’ bonus in the, face of the President’s economy proposals and not even pretended to listen when he talked about reorganization Abroad the President's one positive and con sistently advocated recommendation has been American membership in the world court at The Hague. To day, after two years of the Presid ent’s urgiug, on the world court is sue there has never been the pros peet of a senate vote. “Readjustment from war to peace at home has a way of working itself out, and to a marked degree Mr. Coolidge has been cbnteut to let things guide themselves without ac tive inteiference. That, method, it must be said, cannot be applied as successfully abroad, where au exist ing order IiaB been stirred to its depth, as it can be applied at home.

AU these aged citizens arc aulic- ipaling a severe winter but not so bad as the one of 18S1. Bryan Won. The sudden death of Williams Jen nings Bryan evoked all sorts of emo tional responses, with one exception, is the tn<ist significant thing about it There were people who were glad to hear that Bryan was dead, and did not hesitatij to aajs to. There, were countless thousands to whom hi? death brought personal grief a? if he had been of their blood, Hiii death caused* astonishment in all quarters, relief in _some, dismay in others, regret here, rejoicing there. It revealed that the man was deeply lovec and bitterly bated, despised and almost worshiped. Bot there was one emotion, frequently c-alled by death, ttiat this death did not evake. Nobody was horried. In all the world uo mau. even among those who destested him, believed that Bryan was afraid to die or unwilliug to meet Iiis Maker. People whodis liked everything he did and disbe lieved everything he did and ' disbe lieved everything in which lie had faith aud that it was strtiug enough to carry, him down into the chill waters without fear. Here is one triumph of the old fighter that can not he gainsaid. Here is one victory that he who was so often defeattd unquestionably won. It was no empty boast when he said, ’ I have religion enough to die by.” He looked on death unemotionally. s The Rider of the Pale Hora6 to fiiin was nether a terror, nor a friend bringing relief from a miserable existence. Death was merely a messenger, merely a fellow servant of the Master whom Bryan served. Triumphant indeed is the tnaii of whom that can be said, triumphant he whose friends can feel in their hearts the exultation Of !the Psalmist as they repeat the !

From a financial standpoint'the 47th Masonic picnic held here the 13th was a big success. More money was received than ever be fore despite the fact th.it money is supposed to be tight just now Tliis was a worthy cause and the people were glad to help along. T hous ands of dollars were spent here pic nic day and the orphanage gets a- bout $2,500 of the amount. A gentleman told us a few days ago that he had just been over a large sectiou of North Carolina and that he saw finsr cottou in Davie thau iu any county through which he had traved. Davie is for- tuuate this year in- so faf- as crops are concerned. While our neigh bor counties were suffering from the drouth fine showers were fall iug in this section. Davie is. goiug to harvest a good crop of cotton if liotuiug happens from this chte tiutil harvest time. Our tobacco crop will be short but corn is fairly good except in a few sections of the county. . N Big Court Hire Next Week. From present indications the August,term of Davie Superior court which couvenes in Mocks- ville next Monday, the 31 , wM be one of the biggest courts held m this county in many years. His Honor, Judge Stack will be on the bench,-with Solicitor Johnson J. Hayes, of WilFesboro, prosecuting. Up to-the present time more thau fifty cases have been entered on the criminal docket, ranging from the charge of blockading mean corn liquor to murder and all the way between. The county officers have been very deiligent during the past several months-and have captured more blockaders and seized more blockade Ifquor than has ever been captured in the county in the same length of time. The Ii wbreaker has had a hard road to travel this year. Of course all the guilty parties have not been captured but the officers have them on the run. A large crowd will not be here for court next week as there are many important cases to come up. It is not known whether all the cases can be disposed of in one week, but if not they can be tried the second week as we have two weeks court I this term. There are are a number ' of prisoners in the county, jail while many were able to give bond and enjoy their freedom until court couvenes At Friedberg Church. .On Aug 30th, the 5th Sunday, we will hold a Community Singing, begimiing at 11 o'clock and con tinning through the dav.

W ashington.—TIie new prohibition irniy will he -capained in large m eas ure by the sam e men who now com mand Uncle Sam ’s .enforcem ent squad rons. Out of 24 new district adm inistra tors named by A ssistant * Secretary Andrews of the Treasury, all but six already are in the service. Although he had announced a cam paign to induce practical business ex ecutives to lend new blood to the or ganization, General Andrews said that after investigation he had decided there were many now in the enforce m ent machine who should be given a chance to make good under the new plan that is to become operative Sep tem ber I. The commissioning of Ben C. Sharpe as prohibition director of the eighth district, comprising the states of North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, brings the organization of the forces under the decentralization plan one step nearer consumation. Mr. Sharpe has just returned front a trip to W ash ington and is now said to be at his sum m er home in the m ountains of western N orth Carolina. ‘ No intim ation has been given as to the time Mr. Sharpe will announce his selections, for his assistants. Gen eral belief is, however, that the list will be made public at the earliest possible date that the flow of applica tions may be checked and that men who now hold jobs may know if tbey will be retained. Many of those now in the service are much disturbed as to possible retention. Mr. Sharpe will^kave a large corps of workers under his immediate direc tion. He will name a judicial district enforcem ent director in each of the six judicial districts in the three states, and under each will be a large staff of enforcem ent agents. In addition to these six chiefs direc tors, there will be an assistant direc tor for the entire district and an ap pointee who will have charge of issu ing perm its for legalized. handling of wine for saerem ental purposes and al cohol-for medicinal and m anufactur ing purposes. A nother large staff will be required to handle the chemical' departm ent which will be set up in the Mint build ing where Mr. Sharpe and his assist- ants will have their headquarters. The chief chemist_ will be one of the pride appointm ents in the group, and the chief chem ist will have a highly-train ed staff of assistants. The influence of Internal Revenue Commisioner Blair, added to the good record of Mr. Sharpe, secured him the appointment. His salary wil ble ap proximately $6,000. Lint Spinning Shows Slump.

EET AGREEMENT OK GELEiAR OEBl AMERICAN AND BELGIAN COMMIS SiON ARE GETTING TO GETHER. W ashington. — An agreement for •funding the Belgian war debt to the United States with remissions of all in terest pn loans preceding the armis tice and part of the interest on the balance was reached between, the American and Belgian debt commis sions. The program, approved by President Coolidge at Plymouth, Vt., was describ ed as recognizing “a weighty moral obligation” growing out of assurances given by President Wilson during the Versailles peace conference and also the right of Belgium to participate and special treatm ent by the United States. Subject to ratification by congress and the Belgian government, the. agree ment provides that $171,780,000 loaned to Belgium during the actual fighting with Germany shall be paid free of all accrued or future interest. The Bel gians had insisted that the loans rep resented in this amount should be con sidered a debt by Germany to the United States because such a proposal “was accepted by President Wilson at the peace conference.” Such transfer of responsibility from Belgium to Ger many was refused by -the American commission but it declared that “while no legal obligation rests upon the United States in the m atter there does continue a weighty moral obligation as a result of assurances given which entirely differentiates this sum from all other debts due the United States from foreign countries.” In consequence the agreem ent laid down a schedule of repayment for the pre-armistice loans, which provides that Belgium shall pay $1,000,000 in 1926, and the same amount in 1927, with increases in each of the next four years until in 1923 the annual payment becomes $2,900,000. It will continue at this figure until 1987, when a final payment of $2 280,000 will be'due. The “post armistice debt” was fixed at $246,000 000, including accrued in- teresL While interest on this was fixed at the rate of 3 1-2 per cent, the Americans agreed to forego a part of the interest for the first.ien years and arbitrary amounts Were established, bringing a reduction of nearly $50,- 000,000.

One is the possibility of Ti plague of insects; the other is the reputed presence of an ant from the East, which is supposed to eat babies. For the latter scare there, Seepqs no. foundation. But the mosquito danger is very real. Already towns throughout southern England are tak ing drastic steps to combat the pest. The mosquito entered England dur ing the exceptionally wet summer of last year. Numbers of visitors at sea shore resorts were badly bitten and many deaths occurred. Because the insect was practically unknown in the country nothing was done, as in the case of the East, to combat -the pest which was regarded more as a nuisance than a danger. But now it is realized that, with many Englishmen having the germs of war m alaria in their veins, the mos quito may become an active agent of malaria throughout the country, pro vided conditions are favorable. Hence medical officers of health throughout England are being given instruction to fight the pest by every means in their power, and in particular they are told to have all -ponds and other likely, breeding places sprayed with soluble creosol, which is .fatal to the mos quito.

Baruch Gioes $250,000 4to Take Profit From W af New York.—For study of the possi bility of maintaining world peace by taking the profit out of war, Bernard M.

Investigation will be carried on at Johns Hopkins and at foreign univer sities, the exact amount of the gift to depend on the costs of the studies over a period of at least three years, possi bly $300,000. In a letter to Mr. Baruch regarding the gift Mr. Yonng wrote: “By taking tbe profit out of the war we understand you to mean that you would limit profits through regulation so as to prevent profiteering. Certainly, an absence of such profits would tend to repress that jingoism which encour ages war, and, if tvar were begun, to shorten rather than prolong It. “If profit is eliminated from war everywhere, and if the mobilization of Uiings and dollars is carried along on the same basis with the mobiliza tion of men ^in all countries, verging on war, there, will be less likelihood of joining in the battle.” ..

Hair Cut and Dye Fooled Sheriff Unwittingly Talked With Man He Hunted. New Fork.—The police circular gave a m inute description of the fugitive and called particular attention to, his most prominent characteristic, a head of bushy Iron gray hair. “H e is cul tured, with agreeable manners,” said the circular, “and being fastidious he usually makes his home In first-class hotels.” The fugitive was a notorious forger who had been passing bad checks in the South. “We were hot on the fellow’s trail,” said a deputy sheriff from a southern state, “when he suddenly dropped out of sight as if the earth had swallowed him. Though I had never seen him, I had a recent photograph of him and I was sure I would recognize him. When word came he was In a certain city I repaired there without delay and spent my time hanging about the lob bies of the best hotels. Every time I saw a man with a good- head of hair I would scrutinize him closely. My quarry, however, failed to put in an appearance, and I began to fear my quest would end in failure when word reached me that my man had been apprehended in a nearby city. Didn’t Recognjze Him. “When I arrived there I went imme diately to police headquarters. When I saw him I gasped. Instead of having a bushy head of iron gray hair be had smooth brown hair which was closely cropped and parted In the middle. I consulted the circular, and th e ; photo graph and told myself I would not have recognized him from either. “ ‘Are you sure you’ve got the right man?’ I asked. “ ‘Sure, he’s the right man,’ they said. ‘We’ve made his acquaintance before. H e had his hair cut, dyed It, and smoothed it down with grease.’ “He told me afterw ard he had stood beside me at a hotel desk while I was asking the clerk if they had a guest with a big crop of bushy iron gray hair.” The case Is not unusual. The police have long known that fugitives resort to all manner of disguises to , throw them off the track. A good many thieves bear ineffaceable scars of bat tle on chin, cheek and throat. They realize that such marks may prove to be their undoing and try to hide them. A mustache will sometimes hide a scarred lip and a beard will conceal a tell-tale throat. Police circulars are frequently post ed in small-town railroad stations and buildings. The fugitive often thus comes face to face with his own like ness. It is common for him to dye his hair, and in some cases to stain his face so that he becomes dark instead of fair. Bald-headed criminals fre quently wear toupees or wigs. Professional -criminals, like actors. dress for the parts they play. The bogus physician affects the airs of a member of the medical fraternity: the confidence man endeavors to look like a prosperous broker or banker: the card-sharp assumes the manners of a well-dressed man of leisure.

Few of them spend their gains on a wardrobe. The majority of them, according to the police,’either gam ble or spend their money entertaining women. A large number of the thieves and hold-up men who fall into the po lice net are rough and poorly clad. If they have been following their calling any length of time It is stamped on their faces. They are hard of coun tenance, and cold of eye. Detectives traditionally disguise themselves If they be! .e it will help them in their work. They are fre quently assigned to ‘ cover weddings and receptions where they mingle with the guests. Then they wear the same conventional garments that other guests wear. If they are assigned to visit rough places they clothe them selves In coarse clothes and go un shaven for days.

Hungarian Barber Is Heir to 100 Millions V ienna—Budapest newspapers state that John Szentpetery, a poor H ungarian barber, has re- ■ ceived word from the United States that he has inherited $100,000,000, representing the es tate of M ajor Debossy, who fought as aide de camp side by side with Kossuth in the Hun garian revolution of 1848-49. After Kossuth, escaped to Tur key on the collapse of the revo lution against Austria, Debossy fled to the United States and there amassed an enormous for tune, which, upon his death, passed to his sister. The latter * recently died and it was found § that the poor barber is the only surviving member of the family. He is an old man now and the S news of the vast inheritance S seemed to excite him less than it S did the people who came to con- gratulate him. S&SSX3SX8SS5SS8SX8gX8»^^ DOLLAR BILLS GROW POPULAR Treasury to Print 800 Tons This Year. W ashington.—More than 800 tons of onq-dollar bills will be put in circula tion .by the government this year, as compared with 90 tons in 1900, accord ing to a statem ent made by the federal bureau of efficiency, which has joined the treasury In a campaign to popu larize the two-dollar bill as well as other bills of higher denominations. The bureau has been making a'study of the facts as to the m anner In which the paper currency issued by the gov ernm ent is used and It finds that the public is wedded to the one-dollar bill. The popularity of the one-dollar bill is attributed in p art to necessity and In part to habit. “Automobiles, movies and higher prices have made it neeessary to carry more pocket money than of old,” says the bureau. “They may have started the run on one-dollar bills, but it is believed to have gone further than is necessary or economical. The public is believed.to be using more one-dollar bills than is in its own interest ' “Men are getting the habit of carry ing ten to fiften ones in their pockets when they formerly carried fives and tens. This means thgt ten or fifteen bills are being subjected to w ear where formerly t,wo or three served. Banks and other change makers have drifted too far in giving out small denomina tion bills in change. This has meant a stupendous growth in the- bulk of paper currency.” Lives 25 Years on Leper Isle Superintendent Retires After Long Service. Honolulu.—Almost a quarter of a century in the service of the inmates of Kaiaupapa, the “saddest spot on earth,” on “the lonely leper isle of Molokai,” was completed recently when John D. McVeigh retired as superin tendent of the settlem ent and assumed a supervisory and advisory position for the leprosy receiving station at Kallhi, Honolulu. D r/ \V. J. Goodhue, who has served as physician at the settlement since 1902, also retired and was succeeded by Dr, Harold Marshall, who has been at the. settlement In Louisiana. Reviewing his service on the small triangular shelf between raging ocean breakers and the virtually impassable windward cliffs of Molokai 'which houses the settlement, McVeigh said the three greatest changes were the building of a poi factory, the intro duction of motion pictures to the col ony, and the discovery of the Dean Chaulmoogra oil specific for the treat ment of the inmates. These provided palatable food, distraction for the mind and relief and perhaps cure, for the body, he said. Tlie chaulmoogra oil specific Is more efficacious a t the Kalihi receiving sta tion, for its greatest effect is obtained in tlje early stages of the scourge, and Kaiaupapa receives only relatively ad vanced cases. ‘ So' highly does McVeigh regard the treatm ent that he predicted the close of the Molokai settlem ent -within tw enty years if diseased per sons would surrender themselves and receive injections in time. Educa tion and the enlisting of public sup port for the territory’s fight against leprosy are aims to which he intends to devote himself. As the first man who gave his undi vided attention to the settlem ent, Mc Veigh w as called upon to do a great deal of pioneering work, interested the inmates in baseball, horse racing and other sports that would help them to forget their 'condition and brought them to realize that they were not outcasts but “victims of a certain dis ease.” Describing the patients, McVeigh said: “They are first rate. They come into my yard to work, but they would never think of entering my house. They are law-abiding, and it is rem ark able w hat little disciplining they need if they, are all treated alike.” French Bliirip in Riffian War - W i--** 1 W tm s m i'm ink) lheir w artare against the by French In AN OPERATION REMIEiED AV°Meiu y Lting LydiaE.Fmkham’s Vegetable Compound Lm A n g e le sC a l.-<‘f ^ not m uch praise to Lydia E.

Are you going to give me the combination to that safe?” “Six—’’ the man was staring at the ceiling and talking between dry, white lips—“one turn to the left to four, then twice around—” “W ait a minute. Mark that down, will you, doctor?” “I’ve already gotten it.” “Good. Go ahead.” When he had the combination Bart ran out, and over to the office of Leon Barrows. It was locked, but the shoul der of B art Rogers w as strong with a new strength. One lunge and the door yielded. He went to the safe. An hour later— The room of ‘!Bull” Franniston was dim with its shielded light—and with approaching death. “ ‘Bull,’ ” he said quietly, “I’ve gotten hold of your confession.” “My what?” “Your confession to the murder of. old Jim’s wife back In Illinois and to the killing-of m y ’father. I caught Barrows stealing It out of your safe.” “He worked the combination, eh?” The whisper came with a great effort —an effort that was heightened by a •sudden hate. “W hat’s—w hat’s—he say?” “That you forced h im 'in tq ( making that agreement with you; that you threatened to, kill him, and—” “Did ne say anything about the cy anide—” The man strove to rise, and dropped panting back to his pillow— ’’the cyanide that he bought for me to give—to give to Rogers? Eh? Look it up. Make ’em show you the poison hook at the W hite Cross store in Cheyenne. That’s where he got it— he’d liave to sign for it. You’ll know his writing—even If he used a false name—Did he say anything about—” “Cyanide?” .. B art had motioned the doctor closer that he might serve as a witness. “W hat was it for?” “For—Rogers, I told yon.” “You killed him, then?” . ’ “Barrows—and I—yes. I did it ac tually. But he was the man who—” “When?” “The afternoon the oil came In-^stI ielephoned—telephoned Barrows., He —he said you Were in town and to go -I o go ahead. I hurried to-the house —and—and made him swallow a five- grain capsule. ,He—he hardly moved.” Bart Rogers, white, trembling with’ Ihe surprise of the confession, rubbed a hand slowly over his eyes. “Then—you’d planned for this— this oil?” “Seg—BarroiY!), IiC IifiCW ttlO geol ogist.” “And you tricked iny father into making that will?” “H e thought—he'thought it was a mortgage. W e got him to sign It just after he had his first stroke, nnd then dated it back three weeks. He could still use his right hand then—and we held it for him to sign. His eyes were bad. He could, hardly see. We. cut off a mortgage blank an inch from the bottom and magnetized—magnet ized the paper with the will on—with the will on it—on the other—other side. It’s easier’n it sounds.

Yoii have told me one story— — “Did He Say Anything About the Cyanide—?’’. Barrows has told me another. Besides, I have all the papers that were in his safe. Which is the honest man? You’re dying. The doctor says so. Are you going without seeing that Bar rows pays his price, too? Or are you going to let him put the whole blame on you. and—" “Send—send for the district attor ney!” Bull ordered. “Send—send for him. I’ll tell the truth!” It was late the next morning that B art Rogers tired, yet strong, with a nervous energy which re.cognized nei ther fatigue nor sleeplessness, stood in the living room of the Jordan home anxiously awaiting a step on the stair. He had'w on. The town of Bellaine was a town once more, and not a bed-- lam. Those of its unwelcome popu lation who were not In the stockade had departed, poorer and wiser—to spread the word that the rifles and bayonets of the American. Legion, in time of need, would protect the good name and cleanliness of a model oil town, Bellaine. Locked In the bank was some forty thousand, garnered in fines, which had run all the way from a hundred to a thousand dollars, de pending upon the viciousness of the human coyotes who, at last, had found their way into the trap of the law. It meant a new City hall, a new jail— and more worth-while appropriation to support the city police force which would succeed B art Rogers. H is work was done now—besides, out where he once had labored, on the ranch, a for tune awaited him, returned to its rightful owner through the confes sion of a dying murderer. Over in Mannington, a sheriff's, chair was va cant. as was the post of a safety-box clerk In the bank. Both now reposed in the stockade, their first stop on the long journey that was to end—in com pany with the lean-faced Barrows— when the heavy gates clanged behind them upon their entrance to Rawlins penitentiary. And it was with this knowledge, this security of thought that B art Rogers awaited the sound of the step on the stair. A moment later he moved toward the door, his hands extended, his eyes beaming. “I’ve got a .bit of good news for you, Anita. They’ve—let Jim go. -The dis trict attorney just telephoned me that he’d quashed a frame-up charge aealnst Tarko and that he’d gotten a telegram from Illinois that Uie old In- G R A I N P R O P O R T I O N / L O W E R I N S U M M E R dictment against your father had been destroyed. He wusn’t guilty.” IllG SM sighed—tlie quiet, heartfelt sigh of a woman from whose shoulders had fallen a tremendous, galling load. Bart went on. “Barrows confessed, too, about an hour ago. There wasn’t anything else for him to do after the district attor ney had read him ‘Bull’s’ statement. It’s rather a mephisto-like story In revenge. He was your mother's suitor —Bartholmew.” “Yes, Sir. Jordan—” “His apparent friendship Imd been a mask. When—when you were bom, he thought that he saw a chance to cause trouble and sent that anonymous letter. He hadn’t looked for anything more than to disrupt the happiness of your father and mother. Then, that afternoon he heard your father was drinking and that he had bought a re volver. Then the whole, grewsome, horrible scheme came into his liead— and it worked!” “You mean—” “Franniston was a gangster, an ex- convict whom Bartholomew had been protecting. He got into communication with him and bribed him. Then he in veigled your father to his house—and the drinks which he gave him, con-' taln’ed chloral. Your father went to sleep in the house of Bartholomew, not to awaken until he found himself hi a half-stupor in his own home, with his revolver clutched in his hand, one chamber empty, and your mother still in death. ‘Bull’ Franniston had taken him there—and ‘Bull’ Franniston had fired the shot. Into the sleeping man’s hand he put the revolver and thereby condemned a man to the belief that he was a murderer.” “The fiend!” “No”—Bart shook his head—“he was only a bvute. The fiend was the man who worked oil your rauier s fears and your father's imagination until he instilled into his mind the de sire to escape. The fiend was the mau j who arranged tfie jail.break, then who j saw that your father w as transported to the place where ‘Bull’ Franniston had taken refuge, out here in Wyo ming. The fiend was the man who fol lowed, who changed his name, who leered and sneered at a man who was forced to go through life, believing himself a murderer, unable to reveal bis own identity to bis own daughter, even while he watched that daughter, mistreated, insulted, beaten by a brute knowing that the moment he objected, the moment he rebelled against the earthly inferno into which he would be thrust, not only he would be con demned as a wife-slayer, but his daugh ter branded as the child of a murder er. And that fiend was Batholomew, better known as Attorney Leon Bar row s!” The small hands of the girl clenched. She walked silently to the window. At last— “Poor old Jim.” B art moved closer to her. “We’ll try to make it up to -him— Anita.” . . “I—I—hope so, Bart.’ He touched her arm. “Old Jim told me something one night—just before I was robbed of the power to—to try to carry out what be gave me the hope of doing. He told me that he’d—he’d help me. I wish—” and B art laughed—“that he’d hurry back and start helping.” Then it was Anita Morrison smiled, as she half turned from the window. “Do you think you need his help, Bart?” she asked. “I—I—” B art Rogers, suddenly im pulsive, ceased to ask questions- A moment later a form, unobserved by the two within, passed the window, turned, paused, and returned, the elongated, lanky, freckled Bud Tarkd, who stood scratching his head for a moment, then leaned suddenly for ward. “For the love of Mike—break!” he ordered. “Don’t you know them ten- minute kisses is barred?” [THE END.] AIthougIi equal parts of mash and grain are often recommended, it is not desirable to hold to any such arbitrary figures. It is desirable, however, to know what proportion is being con sumed so that production may be somewhat regulated. During warm seasons the proportion of grain should naturally be lower than In winter as less sugars, starches and fat are need ed for body warmth. When egg production and health are satisfactory it is wise to let well enough alone regardless of whether more grain or more mash is being con sumed. If production nnd consumption of mash are both low, the trouble may lay in too mucii grain being fed, or in an unappetizing mash. If the birds are poor in flesh and subject .to colds, the feeding of more grain is usually the correct procedure. Feeding wet masli instead of dry mash is occasionally practiced with success by skilled feeders. Because there is considerable risk of overfeed ing by this method, and because no better results are secured for the time expended, • wet-mash feeding is not recommended as a substitute for hqp- per feeding of dry mash. Wet mash in addition to hopper feeding throughout the year is usually unnecessary and dangerous in the hands of the average feeder. Thlg practice is probably desirable and to be advocated from July I to Septem ber I to postpone the moult, and on slow-maturing pullets in the fall. Three quarts before wetting to 100 birds is sufficient. Feed mash at noon, so that it can be gradually discoxtinued when the desired results have been secured without upsetting the regular feeding schedule.—0. C.

Eros Small Planet, but of Importance Eros is known to astronomers as the name of a very tiny planet, but one of the highest importance, be cause it has enabled them to meas ure with the. greatest accuracy the distance of tie sun. Not only that; it has Iielped them to find the dis tances of the stars, and even to« measure the dimensions of the uni verse itself. Eros, discovered not many years ago was a great surprise to astronomers, iis no one had an idea that an; planet came so near the earth. It is only a few miles across. I. anyone could reach' it from the eartL be would be able to jump a mile on It with the same effort as he would jump a few feet on- the earth.

P r o m o tin g C h ic k G r o w th b y th e U s e o f S u r ilig h t Direct sunlight as an essential In promoting growth in clucks and in pre venting the development of leg weak ness has been proved by recent experi ments just announced by the poultry department of the State College of Agriculture, New Brunswick, N. J. One thousand chicks kept under glass weighed duly one-fourth pound at the end of 12 weeks, whereas 200 chicks of the same age, but kept out doors in direct sunlight averaged one and one-lmlf pounds each. . Cod liver oil has for some time been considered an effective growth stimu lator and preventive of leg weakness, so the truth of this was also investi gated by th e ' experimenters. Of the chicks under glass 800 were fed vary ing amounts of the oil. At the end of 12 weeks they were no more thrifty than those receiving no oil. After the fifth week leg weakness began to ap pear among all of the birds under glass, whether they were being fed cod liver oil or not. In contrast with this the chicks kept in direct sunlight showed no leg weakness at all. The combination of direct sunlight and cod liver also was tried by the experiment station. . Using 200 chicks and feeding oil equivalent in weight to I per cent of the ration, It found that an average weight of one and three-fourths pounds per chick had been attained. This was one-fourth- pound more than the weight of the chicks getting sunlight but no oil. It was found .that chicks kept be hind glass and developing leg weak ness could be cured by a half-hour ex posure to sunlight on four days. V a lu e o f L im e s to n e a n d O y s t e r S h e ll f o r H e n s According to M aryland Bulletin' 244, “a crushing test of eggs laid by oyster- shell-fed and limestone-fed liens showed no appreciable difference In the strength of shell. , “There was practically no difference In the thickness of shell of production In the limestone pen. “The consumption of limestone per bird was much less than the consump tion of oyster shell even though there was a greater egg production in the limestone pen. • "This test would indicate that lime stone can he safely used as the sole source of supply of material for egg shell making with laying liens.” W h e n to F a t t e n T u r k e y s During the summer and early fall turkeys can find an abundance of feed on the average farm. About October I, it is advisable to begin fattening them for market, giving only a little feed at first and gradually increasing this until the birds are marketed.

Permanent roads "■re a good investment not an expense One H orse T ow n, Good-Bye! Any community whose streets are not dur ably paved is going to be known as a “one horse town.” When that time arrives, Prosperity says, “Good-bye, old friend. Good-bye!” People start moving away. Bank deposits . hill off. Business in general begins to take a slump, and die place is no longer “on the map.” Contrast all this with the city that is well paved. It steadily forges ahead over its hard, even streets. Automobiles, busses and delivery trucks, operate efficiently and economically, regardless of season or weather. Business is good, and keeps getting better. Modem, fire-safe buildings spring up. New industries, are attracted to town. Plants and factories are working full time. Trade at the stores is brisk, and everybody’s busy. In short, permanently paved streets and roads are one of the very best investments any community can make. You can enjoy the tonic effect .of well paved streets by help ing your local authorities to find ways and means to build more ,of them.

It also prevents infection of the seed in the soil. Tina method enables the farmer to treat Ids seed wheat during slack time and have it ready when needed. The fun gicide used is powdered copper ^ar- boriate. Fairly Pure Material. Copper carbonate used should be fairly pure containing more than 50 per cent copper. It is a tine dry pow der. light green in color, never blue unless impure. It is not soluble in water so does not get sticky when on grain in storage. It should be very fine, 99 per cent should pass through a 200-mesh screen. This powdered copper carbonate Is ilusted on the wheat seed. Ueing a very fine dust it adheres to the seed, giving a thin coating of the fungicide Halt prevents infection from the smut or other fungus. Treatment at the rate of two ounces of good copper car bonate to tlie bushel of clean seed gives Immunity. A heaping tablespoon of copper carbonate weighs approxi mately one ounce. Tiiere are machines available on the market or home-made contrivances can be used. Treat Seed in Open. When treating seed with this meth od it slum'll be done in the open, or the operator should wear a dust mask or wet sponge over his mouth ami nose, as the copper carbonate dust will cause nausea if it gets into the throat. Seed treated with copper carbonate cun lie stored after treating. The dust does not absorb water, nor does it injure the seed. Seed so treated Is not swelled and no allowance needs to be made at drilling J1Ime for swelling. In fact, due to increased viability caused by tills treatment, less seed than normal should be used.— Waldo Kidder, Kxtension Agronomist, Colorado Agricultural College. C h ic k e n M ite s N u m e ro u s D u rin g th e H o t S easo n The summer time brings with it oiir greatest trouble with chicken mites, if they once get a start it is usually a long fight to get the best of them. They can be prevented Iii getting a start, however, with regular spraying of the poultry house once a week. Any good contact sprays such as the various sheep dips, crude oil, a mixture of carbolic ncid and kerosene, or any of the coal tar products are good. Tlie solution you buy in the can is usually designated as a stock solution. In mak ing up a spray mixture for mites 3 per cent or three p'irts of this stock solu- lion is used to 97 per cent or 97 parts of water. This strength' is sufficient to keep down mites. If the mites once get a start it may be necessary to use as strong as 10 per cent solution. • M a le a n d F e m a le R o u e n D u c k s A r e M u c h U n lik e The Uouen duck is the most beauti ful of all ducks, arid the dark Muscovy next handsomest..

Seed Com Pointers for Improving Crop THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C B e s t to M a k e S e le c tio n s F ro m V ig o ro u s S ta lk s . n the If you wish to keep your corn in constant state of improvement, thing to do is to select for vigor wifi! out close attention for sW re card type That is the new word, based oi years of careful study and experiment at the Minnesota experiment station. University farm, St. I’aul. For several years the Minnesota experiment station lias carried "on ac tivities designed to encourage the se lection of seed corn from the standing stalks in the field before frost time in the fall. The idea was to get early maturing corn from vigorous plants. But now conies H. K. Hayes, planl breeder of the di.vision or agronomy and farm management with a new bul letin, No. 210 of the Minnesota experi ment station series, “Methods of Corn- Breeding,” which among other tilings says: “Corn should be selected from per- fecf-stand liills and from vigorous healthy stalks. Plants which are green when the ear approaches ma turity insure normal maturity of the car. “Close selection for ear type leads to a reduction in yielding ability. For this reason no close selection for ear type should be made.” ’ This is no very striking change of viewpoint, except that too much em phasis has been placed on score, card ear type am! not enough on vigor. Mr. Ilayes’ experiments indicate clearly that vigor has first claim on the seed selecter’s attention. S u d a n G ra s s E x c e lle n t as S to c k P a s tu re C ro p Summer pasture crops, especially on the dry lands, are quite necessary for the best milk production and for grow ing animals, say successful live-stock farmers. Experience has shown the value of pasture crops to tlie stock and also tlie fact that pasture crops produce an abundance of excellent feed. They save labor and build up the soil. For summer pasture, on dry or irri gated lands, Sudan grass is good. It may be planted in ,rows or in drills. It should be seeded now anil will make late summer and early fall pasture. Seed used should be pure sudan. with no cane mixture. From four to ten pounds of seed per acre is used on dry lands, depending on whet Iier it is rowed or drilled in. Fifteen to twenty pounds is seeded under irrigated con ditions and drilled In. Start pastur ing when five or six inches high and keep pastured close. Such pastures are carfying from three-fourths of a head to one head per acre of m ature cattle on dry lands and from one and a half to two head of cattle per acre under irrigation. With such a carrying capacity it be comes one of our best feed producers as well as furnishing fine quality of feed.—Waldo Kidder. Extension Serv ice, Colorado Agricultural college.

The station is without doubt one of the finest and most efficiently designed railroad terminals in the world. It forms a vital link in the realization of the ‘‘Chicugo City Beautiful Plan.” Sim plicity, accessibility and convenience for the traveling public are the essen tial virtues of Uie new terminal. Best and recreation rooms, ticket offices, barber shop, dining rooms, stores of various kinds, and almost every con venience known to travelers, are to be fojmd on the one level, no steps to climb. The main station is a low monumen tal type of building with a row of massive columns "of classic design along the entire east front. Once in side, the traveler finds himself in a gigantic waiting room more than IOO feet high and brilliantly lighted through skylights in the great arch celling. Colonnades inclose the room, the walls of which are patterned after the architecture of ancient Rome. Bor dering this room are tlm iltra-eom piete passenger terminal facilities. An inno vation in railway terminal design is a conference room accommodating 125 people, which ig available, without charge, to patrons of the Dnion Sta tion lines for conferences and other meetings. To give some idea of the immensity of the new station, it may b.e stated that the main building covers an area of about three acres with a concourse covering 60,000 square feet. The en tire terminal facilities cover more than 85 acres and will expedite the prompt and satisfactory liandltng of 50,000 passengers, 400 tons of baggage and 300 trains daily with room for future expansion. Fifteen acres of glass were used In the various coverings over the train sheds, which extend more than 1,200 feet beyond the main structure. A total of 17,000 tons of structural steel, 175,000 cubic feet of Indiana limestone and 10,000 cubic feet of granite were used in the sta tion building and concourse. The foun dation consists of 449 cylindrical con crete piers from four to ten feet in diameter, reaching to a depth of more than 60 feet below the level of the Chicago river. Those who have had the privilege of inspecting the new station pro nounce it a marvel in terminal con struction and are urging their friends to see it on their next visit to Chicago. The station is used jointly by the Pennsylvania R ailroad: Chicago, Mil waukee & St. Paul R y,; Chicago, Bur lington & Quincy R. R.. and the Chi cago & Alton R. R.

REMEDY Quick in action - satisfying in results, Hedf TH E WOMAN WHO WORKS In this new order of things, with women, both married and single, broadening their business activities, a very serious problem arises. It is the problem of what, when, and where to eat. Breakfast Is always a hurry-up meal for the men but touch more so for the woman who goes to business. Lunch eons, of course, are taken In the lunchrooms and restaurants in the business districts and are no problem. But how about dinners? Shall they, too, be restaurant meals or can they be so planned that business women may enjoy the home cooking of which they are so fond? Take away the element of haste and anxiety and In its place put carefully thought-out menus, well planned and easily prepared, und home dinners will again regain their high favor with the working housewife. One of the big worries is- frequently with the fuilk. Did it come? Is tt fresh?* Is It frozen? Has the milk m an 'been paid? Are the bottles washed and set out? However, there is no cause for worry about milk. Why not keep a dozen cans of evaporated milk in your pantry? There are large cans, equal to a quart of rnilk. arid smaller cans that will meet the lesser needs. For* evaporated rniUc is JLust pure, fresh milk with more than half the .water missing. This water can be re: "placed in a jiffy, if you so desire or you can use it as cream if rich and dreamy foods are desired. Here are a few recipes that may be used by "The Woman Who Works" for forming her plans for self belp and good home cooking. Scalloped Ham and Potatoes. IKi cups water I green pepVST (may be otnitted) Flour 1 pound smoked hum% iTiediuin potatoes \ \i cups evapo rated miik diluted with Cover the bottom of an oiled baking dish with sliced, raw potatoes Sprinkle with (lour and pieces of ham V& inch square.

H o n v e CARE OF CONVALESCENT IN SUMMER For Iliose rvlio Hre Just recovering from H serious Hines* the iiroiilcni of food is a serious one. Tlie patient, though well on the load to recovery? is usually weakened by the rigors of disease and the excessive hear I, wont’ to sap his energy. Hence, the foods thut are consumed during this period Should be ,considered carefully as to digestibility, food value, ease of as similation, purity and sterility. These are important In any food but espe cially so when ,the consumer is not strong and healthy. In most cases, the one wfiq is con valescing consumes milk % large quantities. This food contains all of the elements that are' es&ential to the body. If milk is-pure and germless. it is easily digested and assimilated. W here the milk supply is uncertaiu, or the quality not of the best, evap orated milk sliould be employed. It is sterile; it is just pure milk with about sixty per.cent of the w ater removed. Its double richness may be modified, If desired, by the addition of w ater or it may be used Just as it is, where rich, creamy dishes are desired. Many people make the mistake of confusing evaporated milk with con densed milk. They are not at all simi lar In appearance, composition or tuste. They cannot be used for the same purposes; condensed milk Is a combination of sugar and'm ilk; evap orated milk has no added sugar, being pure m ilk-of double-rich quality and food value. Following are recipes of easily pre pared dishes and foods that are well suited fur the invalid and the con valescent. Loganberry jCream.
