WIDOWED QUEEN IS
ENJOYING LIFE Of
!. A FREELANCE
STRICT ETIQUETTE OF ROYAL
HOUSEHOLD NO LONGER o.
TAINS-ITALiAN AND SPANISH
WOMEN ARE AUTO LOVERS.

PARIS. Nov. 2'.-There is no more
emancipated woman in Europe today
than the widow OF king.
Once free and mistress OF her
actions she plunges headlong into
every sport and pleasure heretofore
denied her.
Ii would seem that these royal ladies
were bent upon revenge. One cannot
fail TO sympathize with them TO great
extent when one thinks OF their mar
rowly circumscribed lives OF etiquette
and pomp and the splendor and mys'
terry of their royal state.
How IL all must have palled!
for one cannot blame them when
they tear OFF the mask OF artifice and
ding II away with the stuffy. gown OF
velvet and ermine to don the loosely
fitting automobile coat or the trim
tailor gown.
This Is just what the charming and
well-loved Queen Margherita or italy
and the dowager queen OF Spain have
done. These two widowed queens
have broken through the rigid ETH
ouette of their respective courts and
gone off together automobiling through
France like a couple OF runaway schooi
girls. And what lively time they are
having as they dash along the white
roads In an so horsepower car. Bravo,
little queens!
These two royal ladies' voyage abso-
lutely incognito. No one has the least
hint OF who they may be. The utmost
simplicity marks their equipage.
Their chauffeur might be any man
hired by the day. Their cloaks and
hats are dusty and stained by the sun
and rain. They have no attendants
not even q maid.
The other night an accident hap
pened 10 the car Ii broke down In
remote spot late at night. SO they
entered shepherds hut In quite
democratic manner and asked for shell
| ter The shepherd offered them each
bundle OF clean straw In lieu OF
bed. which he did not possess. His
guests thanked him and, tired out with
the travel and excitement OF the day
they slept the sleep of the just upon
! their lowly beds.
A wedding which has set Parisians
wondering is THAT of Gen. Picquart
minister of war, who was disgraced
during the Dreyfus case and sent out
TO Africa by loving government In
the hope that he might get yellow
fever and die. He has married the fa:.
cinating Mile le Comminges. the di'
vorced wife of the young Count Pillet-
Will
This marriage Is likely to exercise
most sinister effect upon Gen. Pic
! quarts public career in the Clemen-
ceau cabinet. Republican France
| feels ii a patriotic duty TO make II
manifest that she is nothing If not
democratic and can have nothing In
common with the genuine old aristO.
cracy. Now. since General Picquart
has deliberately married into this arts
| tocracy, may she not at some future
time feel that II behooves her TO call
him to account?
! Truly the stars were not In happy
aspect when this gallant soldier was
| born.

The raising Of white beans Is a great
industry In many sections, and 1t IL
profitable because the output IL rs
much a staple as wheat or corn. Like
these crops, 1t is a foodstuff which has
keeping quality.
The bean growing industry has CRAWL
tated to the poorer lands, so that but
little OF 1t Ia found In the corn belt.
And yet there are places In the corn
belt, and many OF them. where beans
might be grown to advantage. Sandy
knobs or WORKOUT fields which will
only make twenty bushels OF corn per
acre will return a greater cash product

Bean culture was once considered
very laborlous, but 1t Is not necessarily
90 now. BY the use OF modern ma
chinery 1t Is made easy. They may
be planted with a two-horse corn plant
er, cultivated with riding pIows and
weeders. pulled when ripe, thrashed
and even sorted by machinery.
To make the most Of the space the
hills may be only six inches apart. but
the rows should be wide enough to per

this way and carefully cultivated, II

crop may be carried through by horse
power. But If the soil Is foul, one
hand hoeing will be needed. The crop
Is loaded from the puller into hay
racks and hauled to the barn. Spread
upon the barn floor or loft. 1t will he
ready for thrashing after two weeks
of dry weather. Before marketing sort
ing Is absolutely necessary.
The old plan was to get the family
together In the evening about the
kitchen table and each by handfuls
picked out the bad specimens. But
the modern bean sorter Is a small ma.
chine and cheap. which you may take
into any room. The motion IL con

The following information Is taken
from in Oklahoma Station Press Buile-
tin: The sorghum plant Is well adapt
ed TO u warm climate, and II Is known
to exhibit a certain degree Of drought
resistance, hence the crop a be grown
successfully wen in the scmi-arid por-
tions of the state. The seed should be
sown upon a we'll prepared seed bed,
preferably in rows t~wenty-four or
thirty-six inches apart.
This method OF planting gives the
grower an opportunity to cultivate the
crop. especially during the three or
four weeks subsequent to seeding. The
casual observer may contend that as
good or better results can be secured
where broadcast seeding Is practiced ;
however, experience at this station ap-
pears to warrant us In making tho
statement that forage crops should be
planted in such a mi as to permit
cultivation. This fact holds good even
In the more favorable seasons and
much better results can be obtained In
the drier years by giving thorough TIL
lage. 1t Is a well-known fact that
moisture escapes quite readily from the
surface OF an uncultivated field, but II
the soil is stirred to a depth Of two or
three inches. a surface which Is formed
and the upward movement Of soil moist
ure is checked. Tillage aids. not only
In the conservation Of soil moisture, but
this process is also a potent factor In
the eradication Of weeds. Fields that
are given careful cultivation. while the
crop is still small, are comparatively
free from weeds at the close OF the sea
son. The daase shade produced by n
good crop OF sorghum is instrumental
as we'll as In shutting out the suns
rays. and incidentally aids In holding
Objectionable plants in check.

Prevent the soil washing on your
farm. Many fine fields In some OF the
western states have been ruined by
soil washing. Some are washed 20
badly that they can no longer be
worked with modern farm machinery.
Soils that have a good supply Of hui
mus are not subject to washing, as
they have a greater water-holding ca
pacity.

The culfis alton In the orchard ss,ouid
be discontinued about the first Of the

cover crop OF veteh or something sim

soil. thus helping the trees to ripen up
the wood and will also serve to catch
snow for protecting the ground during
the winter.
Plant pot-grown Strawberries for
fruit next summer. Prune the raso-

You a increase the number OF
