1t was during my second year at the
University of NJ. that the strange case
of what has since been called "Meri-
weather's ghost" occurred there. The
tradition dates back some twenty years
and has been talked about now and
again ever since Whenever go back

invariably takes place:
"What was your class?" am asked.

LET me see-that was about the
time Of that great football game In
which Meriweather figured so strange

When Jack billiard announced that
he expected to spend lonely Thanks

from Europe, Harry Clifton. his fell

aside his pen and whirled around Oh

you to ask me-"
Jack billiard was only clerk in the
insurance office. but his position was
more desirable one than any Of the
others. His father was the president
Of the company, and young Jack was
learning the business from the bottom
up. He had commenced as Office boy
and was now senior clerk So well
had he progressed. however, that his
father had decided to promote him to
an official position at the beginning
Of the new year. This was a secret
that Jack did not know.
He had accepted Harry Clifton's in
vitation to dinner mainly because he
sincerely liked the ambitious young
man who had worked so conscientious
" at his elbow for several years. He
and Harry Clifton had worked their
way up In the office side by side, and
when the time came for his father to
promote Jack billiard there was
strong probability that Jack would
urge that Harry Clifton was equally
deserving Of promotion. and there was
also a strong probability that Harry
would receive it.
This conversation had taken place
the day before Thanksgiving, and that
evening Jack billiard, who was din

The Mundus weekly published in

one of the methods adopted by the
japanese to produce their curious
dwarf trees is as follows: The pulp Of
an orange is removed through small
hole and the skin filed with a mix

with one seed toward the opening In
the skin. The orange is put in a glass
and watered by the hole, and every

added. The plant shoots through the
opening, and the roots pierce the skin

When the Mormons first settled In
Utah black crickets came In myriads
from the mountains and would have
destroyed the crops had 1t not been
for the gulls that came by hundreds
and thousands from the surrounding
lakes. At that time the settlers at
Salt Lake regarded the advent Of the
birds as a heaven sent miracle, and
ever since the gull has been esteemed
almost as a sacred bird by the Nor
mons. About the beet and alfalfa

the gulls still collect and feed largely
on field mice that are so destructive

Beware Of the Fly.

We wrote to DR.. Reed asking him
to tell the Furrow readers one Of the
simple things most important to the
farmer and his family in the proven
ton of sickness. Dr. Reed says with
great emphasis" Beware the Fly"
and the following is what he has to
say about this dangerous little pest:
The season of flies is fast approach
ing, and We are coming to understand
generally that they are little else than
an unmitigated menace to the halh of
the family.
Walking over decaying and putrid
matter, they enter our dwellings and
plant their dirty feet in our milk, su
gar, butter and pudding and not least
on our skins, soiling and INJECTING ev.
erything they touch.
Typhoid fever and many summer
intestinal disturbances are among the
things directly traceable to the PERM
cious house fly, and since they multi
ply with marvellous speed the wal
against them should begin early and
be waged intensively.
If our meat men were all particular
to screen off their meat and otherwise
cooperate with us, we could use their
products more safely in warm wealth
er but since at this time we don't
need so much meat, we have no great
|sacrifce to make in needing this ad.
ditional reason for letting it alone
during the hot weather.
Early captured as they steal in, the
problem in well-screened dwelling
with rap-your.heels doors is compar
atively easy one.
The man who holds open my doors
and lets the flies in needs putting
out more than the flies, since he rep
resents million flies and is as big
an enemy as his combined constitu.
