Miss Patricia Holbrook and Miss Helen
Holbrook, her niece, were entrusted to
the care Of Laurance Donovan, a writer,
summering near Port Annandale, Miss
Patricia confided to Donovan that she
feared her brother Henry, who, ruined by
a bank failure, had constantly threatened
her for money from his fathers will, Of
which Miss Patricia was guardian. They
came to Port Annandale to escape Henry.
Donovan sympathized with the two
women. He learned of Miss Helens an
noying sutton. Donovan discovered and
captured an intruder, who proved to be
Reginald Gillespie, sutton for the hand of
Miss Helen Holbrook. Gillespie disap-
peared the following morning. A rough
sailor appeared and was ordered away.
Donovan saw Miss Holbrook and her IA
Their meet on friendly terms Donovan
fought an Italian assassin. He met tie
man he supposed was Holbrook, but who
said he was Hartridge, canoe-maker.
After short discussion Donovan left
surlily. Gillespie was discovered by Don
OVan presenting a country church with
5, 200. Gillespie admitted he knew of Hol-
brooks presence. Miss Pat acknowledged
to Donovan that Miss Helen had been
missing for a few hours. While riding
in launch, the italian sailor attempted
to modest the trio, but failed. Miss Pat
announced her intention of fighting Henry
Holbrook and not seeking another hiding
place. Donovan met Helen in garden at
night. Duplicity of Helen was confessed
by the young lady. She admitted conniving
with her father despite her aunt's
precautions, in night meeting with Don

AS young woman in Italy, Madame

Italian Grand Opera company. She
came with this company to America
and later became prima donna with
Henry w. Savage in a repertoire COM
pany in New York. Seven years ago,
she organized her own company, the

night in Cavalleria Russicana, and
Faust, Acts Ill and V, at the Christian

Every member of the lie Brun COM

SEED ADU[TERAT|ON
MENACE TO FARMERS
Trefoil and Other Weeds Are
Sold by Inscriptions
Dealers.
CAUSES ENDLESS TROUBLE
Students at the University of
Missouri Are Taught to
Detect Fraud.
CAUSES ENDLESS TROUBLE

One OF the serious problems con-
fronting the farmer today is that of
seed adulteration.
1t is estimated that 40 per cent of
the clover seed bought three years ago
nothing but weed seed. The seed was
most commonly used in adulterating
clover seed, is yellow trefoil or yellow
clover. This plant is native of Eu-
rope and is commonly grown in Ger
many and England. 1t has little
value in the spring as a pasture plant,
but in the fall it becomes woody and
unfit for pasture.
Inscriptions seed dealers put large
quantities of this seed, which they
obtain at a small cost in clover seed
which sells for high price. In this
way they make large profit.
Causes Farmer Trouble.
This weed causes the farmer end
less trouble. 1t is plant which prop
agates itself, both by seeds and from
its roots. 1t is extremely difficult
to get rid of. If left alone, it will
soon overrun and kill out a clover
field.
Trefoil is not the only weed spread
by adulterated seed. In an expert
ment recently conducted three areas
of ground ten feet square We're sown
with clover seed purchased from a
seed dealers stock. These three
plots averaged fifty-three vigorous
specimens OF ribgrass. Two other
areas twelve feet square averaged six
| species of ribgrass and three wild
carrot plants. In another plot of SIM
liar size, nighttlowering catchtly, corn
cookie, and bull thistle We're found.
Students Select Authorizations.
In the grain Judging laboratories at
the University OF Missouri, students
are taught to detect these adultera-
tions of seed. A quantity of clover
seed. containing weed seeds closely
resembling the pure seed, is iven a
student for study.
He is required to sort out the i'm
purities and name them. In this way
he becomes familiar with the COM
mon authorizations OF seed. This for
titles him against the dishonest seeds
man. and makes it possible for him to
know when he is getting pure seed,

STUDENTS DOING THE WORK

The Machinery Building on the State
Farm to Have New Cement Floor.
A new concrete floor is being placed
in the machinery building on the state
farm. All the work is being done by
the students in the College of Agri-
culture, thereby minimizing the eX-
pense and giving number their first
in concrete work. Nearly
all the machinery has been furnished
by a manufacturer as an advertising
scheme and as soon as the building
is put in shape he will replace all the
older implements with latest models.
This make it possible for a good
course in farm machinery to be given.

GRAPE JUICE A FOOD DRINK
Bulletin Issued BY the State Board OF
Horticulture Recommends 1t.

Grape juice is an excellent food
drink. according to recent bulletin
issued by the State Board of Horticul-
ture. The process OF preserving it
is not difficult, and it is
a palatable, energy-yielding food for
the sick. Chemical preservatices have
been used heretofore but they are I'M
necessary and dangerous. The bull
letin states that the very earliest
history tells of the use of grape
juice as a beverage.

That the architects preparing the plans for the Edgewood Country club will re- quest bids on the work tomorrow or Tues day, and that a contract will be let for the actual work of construction within 10 days, was the announcement author ized yesterday by the Edgewood owners under whose direction the preliminary work Is to be directed.
 Miller & Martin have already submitted several designs, one of which has been accepted by the committee having fn hand the work. The company has provided 1o5 acres for the club site which was passed upon and accepted by a committee ap- pointed for that purpose composed of M. J. billiard, William M.

great for the same reason, and this is known as the Harvest Moon.
 A most interesting phenomenon was observed on the 18th of last March, when the moon passed between us and the bright star at D, Figure l. It was believed that this star is really composed of two stars, one of which Is very faint and probably too close to tho larger one to be detected with any existing tele- scope. This was suspected because Il years ago, when the star was observed to emerge from behind the moon, 1t appeared first as little bluish, ninth magnitude star, and afterward flashed out in full brightness When observed last March exactly the same phenomenon was seen again. The moon, as 1t passed very slowly, eastward, uncovered the faint star first: a fraction of second later the bright one appeared, and by It's great brii- liance rendered its small attendant invis- ible Thus, for an instant of time. the astronomer was afforded separate view of the fainter of the pair of suns which. except for the help of our satellite, would not have been possible to him. A care full observation by amateurs of the occult tation of stars might lead to the discov- cry of other similar systems.
