WEBS A SHOW GIRL.
Draper Daugherty wonders How He'll
Support Her

New York, Dec 24.-Life is on in
earnest for Miss Dessa Gibson show
girl of many Broadway successes, and
Draper Daugherty, son of a wealthy
Ohio lawyer who got married last
Thursday in Buffalo. They are now
spending what would be termed a
honeymoon if Father Daugherty had
not refused to give his check for a
wedding present, if the new husband
had a lob and if there was any plan
for keeping the wolf from the door
during the cold weather.
Miss Gibson was one of the "orlg1-
nal Florodora sextet'' and at the time
of her marriage was with The MIG
night Sons" Mr.. Daugherty, the son
of Harry NJ Daugherty, corpora
ton lawyer and politician of Column
bus, o., has not done very much in
his twenty-five years except to go to
Ann Arbo- to college and run an au-
tomobile. However, he is a pretty
husky chap and is going to find way
to take care of his bride
Failing to get a job. he may adopt a
stage career His voice was trained
by Oily Speaks and he dances well.
He did not stipulate his wife must
abandon the stage, so it is possible they
will try to go into vaudeville to-
gether.
Daugherty got acquainted with Miss
Gibson when her company played Co
lumbus about eight months ago. When
1.-The Midnight Sons departed they
wrote to each other as often as one
night stands would permit.
Last Monday week Mr.. DauSherty
went to Buffalo, where Miss Gibson
was playing, informing his father en-
route of his intentions. Thursday the
two were married, and within. an hour
or so after the ceremony the elder
Daugherty arrived.
My fathers objections were to my
marrying at all and not particularly
to Miss Gibson" said Mr.. Daugherty.
He would not reveal just what his
father said to him, but the gist of his
remarks were that the son had made
his bed. and it was up to him to get
out and hustle to pay for it.
The young married pair are stop
ping at a fashionable MOTEL on Forty
fifth street, but Mr.. Daugherty said he
intends looking for modest apart
ment today.
'sWould your wife be willing to do
the homework if you get job?" he
was asked.
yes, indeed, she would he replied.
"She has very quiet tastes and is very
domestic. 1 wish now 7 had paid more
attention to business. ] had no idea
my father would take things this way.
MY mother is in California, and /
wrote today informing her she has a
daughter-in-law. I feel sure she will
stand by me-
Mrs Daugherty has been i'll almost
since her arrival Sunday Her trunks
have not come, as she did not notify
the company it was her intention to
get married and leave.

MAY BE A VAN DYCK.
One Sold for $40 May Be Priceless
Missing Work.

Boston. Dec. 24.-There is a strong
suspicion that a famous Van Dyck
painting stolen from private art gal
lery in Germany has come to Boston,
and that this work of art, valued at
between $4,000 and $4,000, was sold to
Boston persons for 200 francs, or $40.
If the painting is the real missing
Van Dyck, it has been in Boston for al
most week, and it came here consign-
ed with other goods to a Boston mer-
chant. Now that it's real identity is
suspected the customs authorities have
refused to deliver the picture to the
merchant, and are holding it subject to
orders from the treasury department at
Washington.
Koopman & Co.. art and ANTIQUE
dealers, at No. Is Beacon street, are the
firm to which this picture is consigned.
This summer K. Koopman, foreign buy
err of the firm, found the painting in
an out of the way corner of Europe.
He waited till he had many others and
sent the lot to Boston on the steam
ship Bohemian last week.
Today the collector of the port called
Koopman to his office and showed him
a letter from the treasury department,
copies of which had been sent to GUS
tom houses all over the land. The let
ter said that the German authorities
had notified the United States treasury
department that some time ago there
had been stolen from private art gall
lery at Berlin a valuable and famous
Van Dyck painting representing a boy,
and asked the American authorities to
watch for it's appearance in this coun-
try.
The collector informed him that the
painting consigned to him correspond
ed in every detail to the missing Van
D.yck.
Koopman was informed that the
painting will remain in possession of
the collector until such time as the
treasury department shall forward in
structions.

DEEPER FLOWING is NEEDED
Great Advantage Of Method over
Grandfather's Is That Farmer
Gets Crop at Start.
cBy Z. r.. PARSONS. in Dry Farming

(By 4. r. PARSONS. in Dry Farming
Congress Bulletin)
The popular way Is to plow SOD
about three inches deep, pack II solid,
skim over II with a slanted harrow;
then next season back-set 1t and play
shuttlecock with the chunks for sew
eral years until they gradually wear
out. This may be easy work and good
fun, but It is not farming. The aver
age yield on land prepared In this
manner is usually about one-third or
less Of fair crop.
The other way is to first disc your
sod ON a wet day, then plow 1t under
at least eight inches and then tear 1t
all to pieces with disc and harrow,
always discing first. Sod can be made
into almost as fine a seed bed as old
land, and should raise more to the
acre, not Tess.
The art in handling sod is to plow II
under wet. Old land can be plowed
dry in the fall and allowed to fill up
with moisture, but not sod, for once
the chunks become dry they are fit
only to build cabins with. Sod, when
wet on the surface, is full Of all the
bacteria of rot and decay. and as soon
as It is plowed under commences to
ferment, and If 1t is turned under
eight inches and properly mulched
with disc and harrow, no drouth, ordi
nary or extraordinary, can stop 1t.
But If sod becomes dry the bacteria
are dead, your yeast is gone, and IL Is
very hard to wet it up sufficiently to
start the process again. This is why
man will say: 81 plowed my sod
deep, but II stayed with me for years.
He let It dry out!
II this plan is followed the chunks
will be found the next season to be
reduced TO mere ashes. The great ad.
vantage of this method over grand
fathers way is that you obtain a good
crop at the start-perhaps the best
that ever comes off the land in ques.
tion-and the difference in cost Is
hardly more than $1.50 an acre.
A man between Denver and Chey'

lie represents hundreds.
At Cheyenne they moved DR.. Cooke
onto the top of the mesa in June last
year, with nothing to work on but
hard dry adobe sod, the worst kind OF
sod to work that exists anywhere from
Edmonton 90 exico. He had that
sod plowed eight inches and properly
fined down. and when he went to In
spect his crops in July they looked as
good as any irrigated crops about
Greeley. And this without any rain
since May /!
Deeper blowing Is what we neel on
the dry farms. Many a man who is
plowing six and seven inches and just
managing TO live could be putting
away $1,000 year by dropping his
plow down three or four inches.

A Physician on Food.

A physician, OF Portland, Oregon,

Il have always believed that the

public that in my own experience and
also from personal observation / have
found no food equal to Grape. Nuts.
and that find there Is almost no limit
TO the great benefits this food will
bring when used In all cases of sick
ness and convalescence.
ut is my experience that no physi-
cal condition forbids the use of Grape

nothing so nourishing and acceptable
