An engagement of state wide inter-
est was made known today, when
former Senator and Mrs. Charles Cur
tbs announced the approaching mar
rage of their daughter, Permelia, to
Lieutenant G. p. George jr.
The news was told to a company of
friends who were guests at luncheon
given by the bride-to-be at the Curtis
home, 1101 Topeka avenue. The table
was beautiful in decoration of red
rambler roses, and the place cards
were in the shape of little cupids The
names of Miss Curtis and her fiance
appeared on cards at each plate. Those
who sat around the table were: Miss
Eva Smith, Miss Isabel Smith, Miss
Dorothy Wilson, Miss Julia Larimer,
Miss Reita Updegraff and Miss Curtis.
After the luncheon Miss Curtis was
hostess at an afternoon tea to which
a company of friends were asked.
The announcement is complete
surprise to Miss Curtis friends, as she
has succeeded in keeping the secret of
her engagement from even those with
whom she is on the closest terms of
friendship. The news is of much more
than local interest, for the father of
the bride-to-be has been known in
National political affairs for the last
twenty years. as congressman and
later United States senator. Miss Cur
tbs has spent a good deal of her life
in the east, as a student at Wellesley
college and with her parents in Wash
ington during the sessions of congress.
She is a young woman striking in ap-
pearance and gowning, accomplished,
and of marked individuality. A year or
two ago she made tour of Europe in
company with her mother and her sis
ter Miss Leona Curtis.
Lieutenant George, Jr., is an officer
of the Second Field artillery, stationed
at Vancouver Barracks. Washington.
The date for the wedding has not
been chosen, but it will be sometime
in the late fall, and will be an event
of paramount interest for that season,
for Miss Curtis was brought up in
Topeka, and her father is a native To-
pekan, having long been active in pub
lie affairs, serving successfully as a
practicing lawyer, county attorney and
national representative.

BAD FOR YOUNG PORKERS.
Corn Alone Prevents Their Growth.
Must Be Combined With Other Feeds.

The late Professor W. A. Henry Of
Wisconsin showed by numerous ex-
periments that when pigs are fed on
corn alone their growth is stunted and
that they do not develop their bodies
as we'll as when given a mixed ration
containing a large per cent Of nitrog-
enOuS material
Other investigators have also proved
that corn ration alone stunts young
pigs. They have less blood, smaller
liver, kidneys, lighter skeletons, rough
err skins and smaller proportion of
lean to the fat
Corn has no superior and few equals
in fattening swine after their bodies
are matured but it should not be fed
exclusively to young pigs. The best
supplements to the grain ration for
pigs are cowpeas, alfalfa, soy beans,
peanuts, rape, oats. etc, for grazing.
Tankage, cottonseed meal, skinned
milk, etc, are concentrates which con-
tain protein sufficient to develop the
carcass so that the animals may lay on
flesh when ready to feed out.

HUNTING EELS WITH DOGS.
In Hawaii Natives Brush Fish Out of
Holes In Coral

In Hawaii Natives Brush Fish Out of
Holes In Coral.
On the shores of the Bristol channel,
where the tide sometimes goes out for
a very long way, the muddy beach is
strewn with powders of various sizes.
under which huge conger cells take
refuge until the sea returns. At the
time Of year when this is likely to
take place the inhabitants Of certain
districts go ''glatt" hunting. as it is
termed.
Dressed in the most ancient clothes
that can be found and armed with
stout ash sticks and a pole. on the
end of which an iron hook is fixed,
they proceed to the shore accompani-
ed by a terrier or two.
The big fattish stones are then rails
ed by means Of the pole. while the
terriers sniff and paw at the sand,
which is stirred by other sticks. If
'glatt' is at home he comes out and
makes for the group, crashing his
jaws.
The dogs bark, the fishermen shout
as the poles are slashed down in the
mud in an attempt to kill the prey,
and occasional yaps and yells an
nounce that the blow has fallen in
the wrong place. The angler" is
likely to return home covered in mud
from head to foot. The use Of dogs
is very local, as in most places the
men go out alone.
Some of the fishermen Of the Mex
lean gulf shores have a method of
angling for tarpon that at first sight
appears to be the height of laziness,
says Stray Stories. A stoutish line
with a wire trace at the end is baited
and then swung around the head and
thrown right out in the sea. The 9TH
er end is made fast to a post driven
in the sand, the slack being coiled up
beside it.
Then lying on their backs. the fish
ermen hitch the line over their toe,
the leg resting on the other knee. Ly-
ing thus apparently asleep, with their
hats tilted over their faces, they wait
until twitching of the line announces
that tarpon has taken their bait.
CHANGING round to see that all is
clear, the men then check the line un-
til the fish. feeling the hook, makes
off at lightning speed.
In the Hawaiian Islands some of the
native fishermen literally go into the
water and chase the fish into their
nets.
The sea around the shores of the is
lands is studded with coral reefs. in
which are numerous holes and tiny
caves in which the fish hide The ma
tves row out over these reefs, taking
with them brush about three feet in
length, with very long bristles, and
shallow nets, somewhat resembling a
paper bag, as they are closed at one
end

HANDLING SUGAR Beets.

Cultivation of sugar beets should be-
gin as soon as the rows can be distin-
guished. Some hand wedding and hoe
ing are usually necessary. The cult
walton between the rows should be
level, shallow and frequent through
out the season.
The crust should be broken up after
each rain. Plan on going over the
field with a cultivator about once in
soil should be thrown slightly toward
the beets since all that portion of the
root above the soil has a very low
sugar content and is cut off in topping.
