When Britain Fought For an Ear.

SSS' ~ -~'
Perhaps the most extraordinary ex-
ample Of Britain going to war for "no
reason at all" occurred in the reign Of
George II. One Robert Jenkins, an
English merchant-captain, trading from
Jamaica, arriving in England in 1873.
reported that the sloop had been board
ed by the Spanish coast guards and
that, though nc proof of smuggling had
been found. he had been tortured and
his ear torn off. All England flew into
an uproar. Jenkins ear" divided par

self. The house of N sent for
jenkins. and he was told to bring his
ear with him. The incident grew into
a crisis. though Walpole did his best
to persuade people to keep their heads,
but the popular indignation was so
great that the next year the govern
ment was compelled to declare war
against Spain.-Pearson's.

CHAPTER |.
The Panel of Light.

7THE lids Of the girls eyes lifted
slowly, and she stared at the
panel Of light in the wall. Just
at the outset the act of seeing
made no the least impression on her
numbed BRAIN. For a long time she
continued to regard the dim illumina-
ton in the wall with the same passive
tixity of gaze. Apathy still lay upon
her crushed spirit. In a vague way
she realized her own inertness and rest
ed in it gratefully, subtly fearful lest
b again arouse to the full horror Of
her plight. In a curious subconscious
fashion she was striving to hold on to
this deafness of sensation, thus to win
a little respite from the torture that
had exhausted her soul.
OF a sudden her eyes noted the black
lines that lay across the panel of light,
and in that instant her spirit was
Quickened once again. The clouds lift
ed from her brain. Vision was clear
now. Understanding seized the full
import of this hideous thing on which
she looked. For the panel of light was
a window set high within Il wall of
stone. The rigid lines of black that
crossed it We're bars-prison bars. 1t
was still true. then. She was in a cell
of the TOmbS.
Crouching miserably on the narrow
bed, she maintained her fixed watching
of the window-that window which
was a symbol of her utter despair.
Again agony wrenched within her.
The girl was appalled, by the merci-
lessness of Il destiny that had so out

letter read:

The strike committee was in

pointed out that they had a legit-

to appoint deputies for "the other

equally legitimate excuse.

TRY SOME CRIMSON GLOVER THIS FALL

Numerous inquiries indicate ar increasing interest in crimson clover. It is now being grown on small acres where a few years ago many claimed it could not be grown. It is one of our very best early spring-growing legu- mes. When sowed early enough and tbe winter is mild it makes considerable growth during the late fall and winter, but it's strong point is it's rapid early spring Growth and maturity. It furnishes an :early crop of hay when feed is usually scarce, or may be plowed under at maturi- ty in time for a crop of corn.
 It's weak point is the difficulty of getting a stand. Failures with it are due to a variety of causes, but probably these occur most frequently from lack of in oculation; seeding too early when the young Eplants are killed by dryhot weather, or seeding too late, when the plants fail to make sufficient growth to with
The Nevada County picayune., 1913-07-18
stand the winter freezing.


 As a rule, we think, failure to inoculate the soil is the most com mon cause of failure to get a good crop and next in import. ance in causing these failures is sowing too late, but except in the northern part of our territory, sowing too early is also a ire quent cause of failure.
 Many want to SOW it in corn when laying-by that crop, but in the Cotton Belt we advise against this as a general prac- tice, for even in the northern part of the Cotton Belt we do not think it should be sowed Hbe- fore the latter part of August and further south September l to October 1 is better. Neither do we advise sowing it at the last working of cotton, except possibly in the extreme northern part of the Cotton Belt. As a general rule, however, it may be sowed immediately after the first picking of cotton, or..possibly af- ter the second picking in some localities.
 It is not suitable for growing on land to be followed by cotton, for it does not mature sufficiently early to permit of a proper pre- paration of cotton lands: but there is no better preparation for a corn crop. Whether it is cut for hay or plowed under, the corn will be benefited, but of course, much more benefit is re- ceived by the corn crop if the crimson clover is plowed under, late planting and the resulting danger of the corn suffering for lack of moisture need not be seriously feared an ordinary year.
 We advise every farmer to try at least a small acre of crimson clover this year. If the crop has not been grown successfully on the farm, blow, say one acre, now, disk and harrow immed- lately, and harrow once every ten days or two weeks until the latter part of August or Septem-
The Nevada County picayune., 1913-07-18

Der, according to the location, and then inoculate the acre with 800 to 1000 pounds of soil from a field where crimson, small white or red clover has grown successfully or with the com. mercial cultures of the bacteria which may be purchased from our advertisers, and SOW the seed and brush them in lightly with a harrow. If a good crop is obtained, this soil will inocu- late the whole farm and more crimson clover will surely be grown; but if only a little of it grows, do not become discourag- ed, but repeat the same operat- ions on the same acre next year and success is ialmost certain to follow.

CATCH GRASSHOPPERS FOR SYRIANS
TO EAT

Hutchinson, Kan, July 3I.-Arthur
Hromeg and his younger brothers, of
southwestern Rush county, will earn
enough selling dried grasshoppers to
buy them a motorcycle.
For two week the Hromeg brothers
have been gathering ufsgrasshoppers,
using light wagon rugged up with
big canvas wings which scoops up the
hopperS bv the bushel. After they
are dead they soon dry up.
The Hromeg brothers learned,

sSFrians and Armenians of the colonies
in eastern cities relish the dried grass
hoppers, which are ground up, made
into a sort of meal and esteemed as a
high delicacy, possibly having some
resemblance to the locusts that John
the Baptist and others OF Bible days
had on the bill of fare.
A Syrian firm in Philadelphia is
buying all of the dried grasshoppers
they can get, and the Hromek boys
are sending them shipments as fast
as they can gather, dry and pack
them. They are light, are shipped by
parcel post, and easily handled. =

and celebrated the day by having a

in and bought After the party was
over they were in wagon ready to
go back to town when an argument
came up during which Carl Knouse
was kicked out of the wagon. He fell
between the wheel and the wagon
box and the team cramped the wagon
catching him and litterally mashed
him. A doctor was called but did
not think the boy was injured to. any
great extent and said he would be all
right in short time. About mid
night DIR. Blake " as called and when
he arrived at Yocemento he found
the patient in a very serious condi-
tion and recommended that if
possible that he be taken to the
hospital at Hays Monday morning
This was done and an examination
was made. 1t was found that he had
received several broken bones and he
was in such a condition that it was
impossible to do anything in the way
of educing the fractures. He linger-
ed along until Tuesday afternoon
when he died. 4
