A Good Hay Crop

Hairy vetch is an annual legume ma
tive to western Asia. 1t is sometimes
called sand vetch or Russian vetch
and. improperly. winter vetch. Hairy
vetch has been found adapted to nearly
all parts of the United States. II pro-
duces large crops of excellent hay, but
owing to its habit of growth is some
what difficult to NOW. In drought re-
sistance it is perhaps the best Of the
vetches. II will also stand severe cold,
50 that II IS rarely frozen out even
in the northernmost States. This makes
1t particularly valuable as winter COW
err and green-manure crop. The seed
can be purchased at Bogiano's Seed
Store. Baltimore.

 Reporters

New York, February 1Q--Without his luggage, which had been seized in debt proceedings, George s. Griscom. Jr., hur- riedly left New York for Atlantic City at s:o2 o'clock this afternoon. He had arrived from Italy last night with the ex- pressed purpose of aiding in the search for Dorothy Arnold, who, he was confl- dent, is alive.
 s.s While his father was engaged in a series of conferences with the Arnold family and counsel today, the son stayed with his mother In their rooms at an apartment lofel all forenoon practically in a state of siege. The hotel had, at the request of the Griscoms, denied any communica- ton with them by newspaper reporters. Meanwhile a.process server waited in the hetel corridor. He represented Fifth avenue haberdasher with a claim of $25C for goods said to have been purchased by Griscom five years ago.
 Abandoning hope of serving the papers on Grlscom in person, a blanket attach fnent was placed on all his baggage and he made the trip to Philadelphia with only the clothes he wore, excepting few
  ton. nr
 Father and son left the hotel in tax icab together. They dashed out of the building, slammed the taxicab doors and wbizzed away to the Pennsylvania, where the younger man stught police protection from the persistent reporters.
 The father returned to the hotel after seeing his son off, but refused to talk either of his sons movements or of the conference he tthe father) had with the Arnolds. The conference lasted three hours 50 far as I know said Francis R. Garvin, counsel for the family after the conference, the lease stands" just where 1t did the day Dorothy disap- Deared."
 Asked point blank. twill your son marry Miss Arnold?'' the elder Griscom replied:
 .'I know of no wedding"
 John W. Arnold. a brother of Dorothy, said after the conference today that from now on the family is without the aid and advice of lawyers. He would not say whether this move means that the fam fly was certain of her whereabouts.

house Tuesday evening in re-

City ticket. The meeting was
called to order by Mayor Adams

reason why they should not be
again chosen to administer the
affairs of the city. He paused,
but there was no dissenting voice
and he made a motion that the
present mayor, S. D. Adams, and
councilmen, L. Boehler, H. Lew
elyn Jones, John Wehrle, and o.
Hamilton be nominated by accla-
nation. The motion was second
ed by F. c. Judd. The motion
was put and carried. There be-
ing vacancy on the council, H.

unanimously chosen, as was E.
w. White for Police Judge, on
motion of +. Fuhr.
The ticket will be known as
the Peoples Ticket.
There seems to be general
satisfaction with the result of the
