city to view the Benning game for an
afternoon. The party viewed the races
from the club house. Came a race IN
which one of the young women look
ing over her program, clapped eye on
the name of a horse dubbed NutWCod.
oh, there was a girl at the convent
named Nutwood-Janc NutWood,' eN-
claimed this young woman. and what
All athletic girl she Was-she could
beat all of the girls in the hundred
yards, e-e-easy. oh, I'm going to
have a dollar on Nutwood. What's
Nutwood's price?' addressing the
young man.
"oh, so to /, or something like
that" carelessly replied the young
man from Baltimore. Grab. Only in
the way. Hasn't got q chance in the
world. Crawfsh. Runs backward.
Lob. Wasting her money. Forget it,
But the girl who'd had a schoolmatc
named Nutwood insisted, and h the
other girl caught the bunch fever, and
they both insisted upon the young man
getting a dollar apiece down for them
on NutwoOd.
"Oh, it's post time now said the
young man. Tell you what I'll do. I'll
lay you against NutWood myself. Soft
two bucks for me. Stealing it. I'll give
you each so to 1 against Nutwood. That
satisfy you?"
Well, they'd rather set it down with
a regular b~ooknnaker, they said-it
would seem more rccklcss-but-
You're on, both of you-50 to l each
on Nutwood," and they insisted upon
taking their 81 bills out of their peck
atbooks and giving them to him, while
he smiled enjoyably and talked airily
about how soft the money looked to
him.
When Nutwood won from Monte
Carlo by q nose he paid out his 500
like a little a but he looked ex-
tremely thoughtful n preoccupied
for the remainder of the afternoon.

NOW FOR ROOT CROPS

In the latitude of the 42nd degree it Is
Just time now to sow seeds for Swedish
turnips on soil well prepared and the crop
VIII give dairymen a valuable feed fol
winter. Other varieties of turnips may be
soWn even later in the month or early in
August according TO the Climate. We like
the pa Of sowing seeds of turnips on soil
that has been fairly well enriched for a
number of years for some other crop and
sowing them just far enough apart in rows
so that the C~ultivator may be used to ad-
vantage and thus reduce the cost Of labor.
DO not get the idea that root crops can be
probably grown in any soil that happens
TO be idle; they can be grown in such soil,
OF course, but the crop will hardly pay for
the trouble. Very rich soil is not desirable
but on the other hand it should be rich
to grow the roots in good size and
them rapidly enough so that tho
flavor viii be all that is possible to obtain
and so that they will keep well. On soil
that Is not to high in price so that it is
needed for one or more money cropSit pays
to devote a considerable area to root crops
If he has stock to which they can be fed
and If they can be grown at no great ex-
pense they can be profitably fed TO swine
even when the low price Of pork is con-
sidered. Root crops are worthy much
more attention than they generally receive
in the lands Of the average farmer or

Before Her Father,

He stood before her father when
The day was at it's close,
And IN his pocket there and then
He had a withered rose,
"A once red rose that she possessed
Ere, yielding to his prayer,
she ook 1t from her gentle breast
And gave It to his care.
He stood before her father who
was old and graz and grim:
lie longed to speak a word or two,
b u words deserted him.
Before her father, grim and gray.
Her red rose he forgot,
And thrice made up his mind to say
The words he uttered not.
He stood there while her father sat
At ease and saw him cling
With one hand to the soilcd strap that
Was not a rcstful thing;
his feet We're sore, his look was sad,
He longed for space to sit,
But lacked the nerve to ask her dad.

les6-Year Of Disasters,

The present year will go down into
history as a period Of great disasters.
Nature has been on a rampage, so to
speak, and the consequent destruction
OF lite and property has been enormous
The eruption OF Vesuvius, the earth-
ouakes which wrecked San francisco
and Valparaiso, the typhoons which
have ragged through the China seas, the
storms which have devastated the
countries OF the Carribean sea and the
Cult OF Mexico-those are but few OF
the unusual manifestations OF natural
energy which have afflicted the world.
In the midst of all these things
humanity stands helpless. This Is the
lesson of these disasters-that While
man has made gigantic strides In sci
ence and art and literature, while
discovery and there seems to be no
limit to inventive genius, no one has
vet been able to harness or direct the
tremendous forces of nature. We can
nredict storms, but we cannot control
them we can register the occurrences
of earthquakes, but we cannot protect
ourselves sgainst them. Perhaps some
of these wears the Intelligence OF man
will rise superior to these material
things, and the power of will be greater
than the movement of matter. 1t Is
hover, very doubtful. The probability
ia that as long as time shall last the
forces of nature will continue to mani
test themselves in utter disregard OF
human life or comfort.
Ithas been the dream of imaginative
minds to picture man as the supreme
| controller of the universe. Bulwer
Lytton's "The Coming Age" limited at
such consnmmation, and more recent
writer's have dwelt upon the subject
with evident delight. In the meantime.
we stand helpless and appalled, while
nature wreaks destruction on sea and
land. Beside these manifestations Of
tremendous energy, the human belne
despite his intellectual greatness, be-
comes mere pygmy. He must bow
in humble spirit before power which
scorns to call him master.

Hundreds of imitation brands are

Sufficient proof has been secured

AN EXPERT OBSERVER
ON The MANUFACTURE
OF CHEWING TOBACCO.

An exnert observer on the n1anu-
facture of chewing tobacco claims
that it is the planters process OF Hue
curing, producing and developing the
stimulating flavor and bouquet OF the
tobacco grown on certain lands IN the
Piedmont tobacco belt, which popu-
larizes the chewing tobacco habit.
R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Companys
factories are located in the famous
Piedmont hue-cured tobacco belt, the
finest chewing tobacco section known
to the world. This kind of tobacco
requires less sweetening to please
chewers than any other tobacco
grown. The Company's location en-
ables it to secure the choicest selec-
tons of this fue-cured leaf, which
are manufactured under the personal
supervision of men who have made
the selecting and blending of this
particular kind of tobacco for chew
ing purposes their life study.
The Reynolds plants for the manu-
facture of Schnapps and other of its
brands of chewing tobacco, are op-
Grated largely by machinery, in the
most hygienic manner, and reveal a
system of cleanliness that would do
credit to a model household. The
old adage of too many cooks holds
good in tobacco manufacturing.
The Company has reduced the hand
ling of tobacco to a minimum.
Automatic conveyors take the leaf to
the brushing machines Especially in
vented for the Reynolds Company,
where, by an ingenious process,
every leaf is brushed and cleaned.
After this brushing and cleaning,
the tobacco drops into another con-
veyor and is carried to the sweeten-
ing machines, where the sweeten-
ing is applied automatically, thereby
insuring uniformity and cleanli-
ness impossible by the ordinary
method; and thus, with the idea of
cleanliness always paramount, the
tobacco is conveyed automatically
from one machine to another,
throughout nearly the entire process
of manufacture
The pleasant and appetizing aroma
of the tobacco leaf used, and the
clearly methods of manufacturing
have caused visitors to the Com
pany's factories to experience their
FIRST desire to chew tobacco.
