Man Accused of Getting Money
by False Pretenses

The case OF Claudio Stanley de Pass. an
insurance agent, who was arrested at Kear-
ney on the charge OF obtaining $50 under
false pretenses. was heard in the police
court Wednesday morning. After a full and
complete hearing the case was dismissed on

vance on his salary and Judge BerIa held
that no crime had been committed The
money had been returned before the action
was brought.
Mr.. De Pass says that the prosecution was
simply spite work on the part of Van r.

them was an elderly parsonage, evil

There is considerable argument go
Ing the rounds of the agricultural press
as to the advantage of soaking the
seed potatoes in the formalin solution
some time before they are to be plant

would be the matter of time saved at
a busy season of the year. On the
other hand, it is doubtful if there is
any saving in the plan. 1t is matter

but why experiment when it is known
that the best results come from plant

Market for Good Products.

A short time since the writer had
the pleasure of dining at first-class
New York city restaurant with city
friend. 1t was not one of the So
called ''swelr' places, but one of the
best of the moderate in price affairs.
Baked potatoes were part of the dim
ner, and never before had we eaten
such perfect potatoes in early March
Upon inquiry it was found that the
steward in charge Of the place paid
more than double the market price for
first grade potatoes in order to obtain
these selected specimens.
1t would not do to place an inferior
tuber before a customer; the excuse
that it was late in the season would
have been Of no avail, for the custom
er would promptly reply that he was
paying a good price for potatoes, and
wanted and expected good cnes. 1t is
fair to say that it would be practically
impossible to name place where
superior article Of food produced on
the farm could not be sold with profit.
We have tried it time and again, I'M
til now everything we raise is assorted
into select grade, No. l grade and No.
2 grade-anything poorer than No. 2
grade is kept for use in some way on
the farm. Try it and be convinced.

Income from Maple Groves.

As result of the study recently
made definite directions for the man
agement and improvement of existing
groves, and for the establishment OF
new ones in suitable localities and I'M
der different conditions have been pre-
pared and will soon be published by
the Bureau of Forestry. Many valu
able data regarding the profit in max
ing maple sugar were also collected.
From these it appears that a farmer
can easily clear about So an acre from
A sugar grove. The expenses in this
estimate are placed at maximum;
all the labor and hauling are charged
in at market rates, though as mat
ter of fact the sugar season falls at
a time when the farmer has little other
employment for himself or his horses
In actual practice, for the farmer who
can do most of his own work the profit
should be considerably larger. And the
land thus utilized will yield little o.
nothing under any other use. The cid
method of collecting the sap by max
ing a diagonal cut in the tree was
abandoned long ago because it injured
the tree SO that it could be worked for
but a few years. The approx ed prac-
tice now is to bore hole one inch
deep and three eighths Of an inch in di-
ameter into the sunny side of trees
over twelve inches in diameter, and to
make but one hole in each tree, except
possibly where the trees are especially
large and productive. Vast improve
ments have also been made in appli-
ances for handling the sap and boil.

A GoLD-FILLED SANDWICH.
= Romance Unearthed at the Treas
ury Redemption Bureau.

Piease send me two $40 gold pieces
OF their equivalent for the inc1osed
pieces of old gold,' was a communi
cation received at the treasury de
partment few days after Christmas
uncle Sam is not in the .'old gold
purchasing business, but the two
pieces of discarded metal and the
ietter accompanying them were re
ferred to the redemption division.
Inc two pieces of gold had played
part in the story of a broken en-
gagement, an angry young woman
and crestfallen young man. Christ.
mas day was approaching. He could
not think of suitable present at
hrst. Then he had an inspiration.
lie would get away from the conven-
tlonal Christmas present and give his
lady-loVe a more substantial rem1n-
der OF the day. But to do so he must
discover a unique way of having her
accept his present. He thought hard.
Suddenly he had the solution. He
would place $40 gold piece between
two slices of bread and two of such
sandwiches would allow the young
lady to buy a most acceptable Christ.
mas present
He obtained the bread at restau.
rant, placed $40 gold piece between
the slices of each of two sandwiches
addressed the package, and dropped it
into small box. Then he went home
to await the evening hour, when he
would call on the young lady and
receive her thanks.
He called that night. He was ush-
cred into the parlor. Presently a
young woman entered, but she was
not the happy, blushing girl for
whom he was looking The express
sion on her face denoted that a storm
was brewing. He broke the ice with
request that she explain the sudden
drop in temperature.
Sandwiches are not to my liking
she exclaimed, "and if you desire the
remains of those you sent, please
look in the fire CRATE"
The young man did not wait fol-
the second lnVltat1On. He raked the
ashes carefully and eventually dis.
covered two Jumps of gold Then he
explained to the young woman. There
were few tears, few fervent words
on the part of the unforgiving young
man and the meeting was over. The
next day he wrote to the treasury
department for the redemption of the
money. After some correspondence
he made an affidavit that the two gold
pieces were placed between the slices
of bread; that a mistake had been
made, and the money destroyed. This
was accepted by the officials and
two 500 gold pieces were issued. In
cidentally, the romantic side of the
story came Washington Post.
