Growing Mushrooms for Home Use

Edible wild mushrooms may be
found in pastures and woods in great
abundance throughout the growing
season, but especially during the au-
tumn months. While these would
make a good table food, many people
are deferred from the use of them
because of fear of accidentally
gathering the poisonous kind.
The cultivated mushrooms are not
grown as yet to any great extent in
the United States. They may be had
in cities and in limited quantities in
some of the larger towns, but are usu-
ally scarce and expensive. Many peo-
pie who would enjoy having mush-
rooms added to the home menu are de-
barred because of the difficulty OF

They remain in an edible condition

IN removing the mushrooms it should
be filled in again with soil. The beds
will need an occasional sprinkling
with tepid water, but should not be
made very wet. Too much moisture
causes the mushrooms to damp Off

The man who works on the farm
should form the habit of changing his
heavy walking shoes for lighter ones
as soon as his work is finished and he
goes into the house for the evening.
There is great comfort in so doing.

Mr.. Alvord reached Paducah this

Los Angeles. August 20 The
body OF young woman clad in e
silk dress with a bullet hole through
her head was found under brush in
the second Santa Monica Canyon n
mile and a half north of Port Los
Angeles by ranch hand. The trag-

the spot. the manner Of concealment
and the absence of a weapon all
point with certainty to this conclu-
sion. The motive which has been
assumed for the dark crime, so tong
hidden. was greed for her posses

American Delegates Meet in New York
and Discuss Situation.
New York, May 30.-Members of the
American delegation to the interparlia-
mentary conference at Brussels, were
guests last nightaof Clarence w. Bowen
at dinner at the Metropolitan CLUB.
Among those present We're Congress-
man Bartholdt of Missouri; Norris, Of
Nebraska, and Slayden, of Texas.
Bowen said the Americans proposed
the formation of general treaty of
arbitration. which grants jurisdiction
to the Hague court over such matters
as are included in it, and the earliest
possible. creation of permanent inter-
national congress to codify the laws Of
nations, and keep the code up to date,
insisting this is the only plan which
can make permanent peace possible,
and at the same time is practical.
Senior Diego Mendoza, Colombian
minister, was a guest, and said he
could assure America that Colombia
would give its entire support to pros
poets for peace and justice. The same
spirit prevails in other southern re-
plblic.s, he said.
