became acquainted with Clara Dawson,
then u little over 16 years of age. A love
affair was the result, and when Scott was
kicked from Dawson's house the two met
clandcstincly. They became engaged. but
because of the objections To the match by
Mr.. and Mrs. Dawson and the fact that
Clara was not Of age they could not
marry.
The Dawson family lived in an aristo-
cratic neighborhooti, and many prominent
members OF the Des Moines Women's club
and Young Women's Christian association
became interested i'm Clara because of her
beauty and her stories Of persecution at
homo. She told these ladies that her
mother had tried to induce her to lead a
life Of shame. The ladies Investigated the
story and then quietly took her from home
and placed her in charge of n well known
family in the suburbs. Dawson spent two
weeks searching for her, and, with the aid of
detectives, found her and took her home.
Scott, who had assisted the ladies in their
undertaking, was thrown from the house

TOBACCO POISONED BOYS.



Walking in tho streets OF Cleveland n
few months ago. Hon. Elroy NJ. Avery
noticed several lads 10 or - years old
smoking cigarettes in the vicinity of one
Of the grammar schools. Investigation
showed that the school authorities were
making vigorous efforts to correct what
was recognized as n growing and alarm
ing evil, but that defects in the law made
these efforts of little avail. Mr.. Avery
became deeply interested in the subject
and introduced in the state senate, of
which he is member, a bill prohibiting
under severe penalties, the sale of ciga-
rettes, cigars and tobacco to children under
IL years of age. The bill passed the legis-
lature and is now a law.
The schoolteachers of Cleveland will
use their utmost endeavors to see that the
law is enforced In the neighborhood of
nearly every school building in the city
are small stores where cigarettes and to-
bacco are sold to children, and SO general
has its use become that tho evil effects
have assumed alarming proportions. One
teacher, after detecting the odor of tobacco
in the school room, instituted "a search and
found in tho pockets of the scholars 142
cigarettes or stumps thereof and por-
tions of plugs of tobacco. This was in a
primary grade, where the Oldest scholars

Growing Corn.
Ia Agriculturist:

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
In reply to your request, will Try TO
explain my way Of raising corn. First to
consider Is the preparing of the soil,
which should be we'll broken or rather
beded in beds five feet apart; that l do
in January or sometimes early as De-
| cember.
| When time comes to plant, which is
between the first and the tenth Of March,
[ open in the center of the bed one fur
row with a six inch half shovel and then
fertilize as follows with fertilizer of my
own raising, which | raised by filling of
the horse and COW stables with oak
leaves and pine straw and the stock kept
on them, and is helped to be rotted by
sprinkling with salt and saltpeter dis
solved in water; this fertilizer [ put in
the center furrOw about TWEEN ty-six
inches apart, about one quart to the hill,
then dropping the corn, one grain in a
hill, about four inches from the ferti
lizer and then cover with small scooter
plow, and as soon as it is up large enough
to plow, [ begin plowing it, and plow
it until it is tassellng and sometimes be-
ginning to silk, using an eighteen inch
sweep principally, with which l plow
my corn from three to four times, and
hee 1t as necessary. And with the cul-
tivaCion and fertilizer which have al
ready mentioned | make a yield of and
average from thirty to forty bushels per
acre and sometimes more.
