Try Tile Drainage On the Farm.

For the truck farmer or gar
'dener, undertakings is a neces-
sity. This is true almost with
out exception, regardless of the
location or character of the soil.
There is a heavy rainfall in the
South and the excess Of water
must be assisted to escape quick
ly through the soil to the UNDER
drains instead of running off ov-
er the surface. Wherever arti.
fetal surface drainage is neces-
sary, tile drainage is required
for the best results in truck
farming. Even the fine sandy
lands of the costal plain-the
highest of them-need under
drainage for the best results in
growing truck.
The late DR.. Porter. Of North
Carolina, who was known as a
most successful trucker and the
first to ship Strawberries from
the State nearly ever year, did
not hesitate to attribute his early
and large crops largely to the
effects of under drainage. The
writer heard him declare that in
his opinion every acre of the
coastal plain country, even the
highest of it. that was used for
growing garden or truck crops,
should be under-drained.
The trucker needs tile drain
age not only because it aids in
carrying of the excess of water,
causing less loss of plant food
ian when it goes over the sur
face, causes his soil to warm up
earlier in the spring and enables
him to work earlier in the spring
and sooner after rains, but also
because it enables the soil to
supply more moisture to the
growing crops in time of drouth.
If tile drainage is essential and
profitable to the market garden
err, it is equally important to the
farm garden. Try under drain
ing the home or farm garden; it
will not cost very much, and will
certainly pay in the earlier, larg-
err and better products. There
is no proof like our own observa-
ton and experience, and if those
who are thinking of trying some
tile drainage, but are still a little
doubtful. will make a test on the
home garden, the experimen to
them. which is really no expert
ment at all for the facts ale
established, will lead to the
tile drainage of the fields as fast
as practical (Miss.)

Injunction Against Cupid.

Spokane, Wash, Jan. IA. -
When Miss Margaret Perkins
was given a position as telephone
operator in local hotel, she had
to give a bond that she wouldn't
marry for six months. Six
predecessors of Miss Perkins
had quit the job cold because a
life berth as better half" look
ed better than answering tele-
phone calls.
Miss Perkins took the job;
signed the contract; secured
bondsmen and is now murmuring
number, over the lines of the
switchboard for eight hours each
day.
Il don't expect to get married
inside of six MONTHS" declared
Miss Perkins as she went to work
on the first morning.
We'll if she does, there's still
that bond,' murmured the hotel
manager as he watched her
handling the exchange.
Miss Perkins, bond expires June
Ord, 1912, after which time she
will be free to tangle up with
one of Cupid's arrows.

REV. JAMES v. LOGAN,
OF BURNSIDE, KENTUCKY
AT Risk Of Life Saves Boy From
Drowning.

Pittsburg, Jan. 20. Twenty
six awards in recognition of acts
of herOism were made to-day by
the Carnegie Hero Fund Com
mission, sixteen bronze and ten
silver medals, besides cash
awards being authorized. Nine
teen of the awards were made in
rescues or attempted rescues
from drowning, three from fire,
two from suffocation in wells
and one each from train and
shooting.
In nine instances the heroes
lost their lives, and the awards
is made to a member of the
family.
ONE KENTUCKY HERO
A pretty story as told by the
hero commission is that of the
Rev. James V. Logan of Brun-
side, KY, who. it appears, can
swim as well as preach. On
July %, 1909. he, at the great
risk of his own life. saved D.
Ward Denton, a 16-year-oId
student, from drowning in the
Cumbel land river. The boy
could not swim and got beyond
his depth. Three others boys
had made Intellectual efforts to
save the drowning lad before the
arrival of the minister on the
scene. Throwing off his coat,
the Rev. Mr.. Logan went into
the water after the lad. who was
again sinking and before he
could cover the twenty-five feet
to the Coy ne had gone under.
The minister dived, and, bring
ing up Denton, stuck out for
shore with him.
STRUGGLE IN WATER
Young Denton, who was very
strong and frenzied with fear.
threw his arms about the rescuer
and together they went down.
Four or five times did the Rev.
Mr.. Logan fight himself free and
bring the boy again to the sur
face, but at last. finding his
strength fast waning, he struck
Denton again and again in the
face. forcing him to break his
holp, and he then caught him in
such a position that he could not
interfere with his swimming,
and with the almost unconscious
lad he swan to safety. For this
act the hero commission awards
the Rev. Mr.. Logan bronze
medal and 50, 900 to be used in
the education of his children as
needed.

WAPPICH GIVES REASON
FOR NEW CROSSING ORDER

w. F. wappich, fire and police COM
missioner. is not i'm favor OF stopping the
street cars on the near side of the street.
Further, he believes there is no reason
why women should persist In pushing
baby carriages and dragging children
diagonally across down town streets"
Officers have been instructed and di-
rected and are carrying out as far as
possible" said Mr.. wappich in a COM
munication to j. NJ. Guild Of the Com
mercial club, without being too rude, the
idea that people in the down town dis
tricts should cross the street intersec
lions at right angles. and keep on the
well-defined traffic cross-walks and not
cut corners, or cross catty-cornered.
This is hard to do, for women will
persist in pushing baby carriages and
dragging children diagonally across the
down town streets. And when driven
back they demand the right of horses,
dogs and other four-footed animals. But
In time we expect to educate them that
it is not right.
I'VE have directed the traffic police to
keep the people back on the sidewalks
until the arrival of cars to avoid accident
and not stop traffic by pushing out in
the roadway before the arrival Of wagons
and automobiles.
Personally believe the request for
stopping street cars on the near side of
the. street is a mistake, The car cannot
get onto the cross-walk. In winter, when
the streets are slippery, and there is snow
and ice, the rear of the car is forty feet
from the crossing. 1t would stop traffic
behind the car, which would find an out
let at the intersection before the car
crossed the street."
