The Manicure
Lady
By WILLIAM F. KIRK.

GED ROTHER WILFRED got the
first real piece Of change yes
- terday that he ever got from
his writings" said the Manicure Lady.
He used to come home with five
dollar check once in a while that he
got from the editor Of the Flour and
Feed Gazette or the Monitor, but yes
terday he came home and flashed a
hundred dollar note that he had Just
got for song Of which he wrote the
words Of Even father warmed up to
the POOR boy when he seen the yellow
c in Wflfred's trembling mitt,, and YOU
can bet the old gent wasn't in no mood
70 warm up until the money got in
front Of his eagle glance"
Was It a ragtime song?" asked the
Head Barber. TT must be, though
That's the only kind of songs that are
getting the dough now"
mo, ii amt a ragtime song" replied
the Manicure Lady. IT'S a sad ballad,
George. I was sure that it was going
to be liked the minute Wnfred showed
1t 10 me, before he showed It to any
body else. l wish he hadn't made Il
quite so sad, though Goodness knows
without making up new songs with
sobs in them. Still, I suppose what the
public wants nowadays Is extremes in
songs, either something so comic that
it would make a snail smoker or some
thing sad and pensive like dreary rain
falling on sweeping willows. That's the
kind OF a song Wnfred has wrote,
George. and III bet you that when it
is sang with slides the folks will take
on something terrible. This is the way
it goes I wish I could remember the
tune, but It sounds something like this:
GONE BEYOND RECALL.
f. handsome married couple m a
citp far array
Was setting in their pdrIor at the
close Of one sad dan.
The couple had been Scrdpping for
the frst time in their life,
And each hard lDOrd they uttered
cut the other like knife
At last the toife could stand no
more, and Just at sir o'clock,
She broke china platter on her
husbands noble block.
Her husband sd0 the shattered dish
and felt his battered head
Then facing his impetuOus t0ife,
these sad words he then said
CHORUS:
"ThG dish is gone beyond recall; re
He'er shall see il more.
We cannot get one like it at the
dUe and ten cent store.
little dreamed Of such coarse
t0ork l0heH UoiOtHg I'd be true,
The dish is gone beyond recqlL-So
is mp lore for you"
Amt there a second verse;" asked
the Head Barber after a brief pause "A
ballad ought TO have two verses and
tell some kind Of a story That's what
Charley Harris always said, anyhow"
There is a second verse, all right"
said the Manicure Lady II don't know
Just how It goes, but il tells how the
husband went crazy from the blow on
his head and was all the time wanting
to play Spin the Platter with the keep
ers at the insane asylum. The wife
died Of a broken heart, just like she
broke the china platter. and just be-
fore she died she heard her husband in
a dream, saying them sad words that /
told you in the chorus"
1T ought TO be good seller If they
want sad songs now" said the Head
1t seems kind Of improbable, though
declared the Manicure Lady. No lady
ought TO bean a gent with a platter
when dishes is so high"

BY C. p. Bull.

National Crop Improvement Service.1
Some important factors in the grow
ing of rye set forth in brief by G. p
Bull, Agricultural Experimental Sta
ton, University of Minnesota:
Kinds of soil best adapted to grow
ing rye: Any soil not depleted of its
fertility, though it will do better on
impoverished land than any Of our ce-
reals; sandy loan and loam or clay
loans are best.
Climate best suited to growing rye:
Any spring wheat region will be found
suited to rye. 1t will also grow well
in winter wheat districts, but in the
latitude of the as degree parallel will
probably grow best rye.
Methods of preparing the ground:
Flowing (sub-surface packing If dry,
rolling and disking if lumpy; harrow.
Depth to pillow for rye: Depends on
the soil; 5 to inches for sandy to
clay soils.
Preparing the seed bed: Depends
on conditions of soil. Make 1t fine and
firm.
Best fertilizers for rye: Barnyard
manure used with good A, 5, or 2
year rotation of crops.
Disking for rye: Good crops of fall
rye have been grown on cereal stubble
(crop harvested) when the land was
disked and seed sown; not to be rec
commended but can be done.
Selecting seed rye: Same as for
wheat-with tanning mill and graders.
Varieties best adapted to soil and
climate of various states: Native win
ter varieties for Minnesota and north
ern climates; Minnesota No. Q for Min
nesota and northern climates; spring
rye Is not recommended.
Amount of seed to sow to the acre:
~ blu. per acre.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1913-01-24

Best time for seeding: Sept. to
Oct. 9Th; best about Sept. 18th.
Where to get seed: In Minnesota
and the northwest get seed stock OF
Minnesota No. 2 from Experiment
Station, University of Minnesota.
Farmers should grow one variety.
But practically speaking, there is but
one variety commonly grown.
Effect of freezing In winter and
spring: Winter rye is perfectly hardy.
Best treatment for rye diseases:
Smut does not bother rye. Ergot is
bad. Use pure seed stock. Grade
seed and rotate crops and use grading
mill most vigorously and long.
Insect enemies of rye-how to COM
bat: Does not seem to be bothered to
any appreciate extent.
How to take care of crop after har-
vest: Shock; thresh at once as soon
as dry, or stack. 1t will not pay to
stack II 1t can be threshed from shock.
Rye as food for animals: A little
heavy-laxative.
Rye as human food: o. X. More
Of it should be used. People have a
false idea of what Is best for health
and fashion.
Rye as cover crop: A good cover
crop.
Value Of rye as green manure: One
of the best-the best not counting the
legumes.
Profits in rye growing compared to
other grains: A top notcher. Just as
good as any when properly grown.
Rye as forage crop: Excellent
offers great opportunities as a green
pasture both fall and spring. and will
afterward produce profitable seed
crop.

North and the South was poured
out in atonement. And now that
the expiation has been made, the
present generation of Americans
stands together as brothers ready
to fight against any common
enemy. There are no greater
lovers of the Union in the North
than in the South, and as the
struggling line of the heroes that
once wore the Blue, as they out
We'd the other heroes that wore
the Gray, will meet the thin line
of gray-clad warriors on the
battlefield, as they clasp hands
over an erstwhild od-stained
field Of conflict, forgetting the
bitterness of the strife, they will
sweeten the dire memories of
the awful days at Gettysburg by
thanking God that, while broth
ers on either side persisted for
what each conceived conscien-
tiously just cause, the country
survived; and as these veterans
look through the dissolving views
of that past, above the gruesome
battlefield, they will behold a
splendid vision of men standing
in a common fellowship and in
common citizenship of a great
and united country, as their chill
dren and their children's chill
dren see bound by a common tie
a common reverence and a COM
mon love. Weekly Chronicle.

THE BLUE AND THE GRAY

Next July will mark the jubi-
lee year of the fateful deeds
which were achieved on the
field of Gettysburg. Fifty years
ago the 90, 900 men Of the North
that were marshalled by Meade
against the 10000 Southernors
that followed Lee in his invasion
of Pennsylvania, made of Gettys-
burg the Waterloo Of the war be-
tween the States. From that
time the ''Stars and Bars" began
to droop at the provision of the
inevitable downfall of the cause
for which the South had pledged
her wealth, her honor and her
life. 1t was a stuggle for a
principal against a blind devotion
to the Union. However right
the South may have felt in
standing for those principles
which her children had learned
to be the outcome of American
ism, the children of the North
had been equally nurtured in the
belief that the Union was sacred,
one and indivisible, and any at
tempt to destroy the Union they
believe to be iniquitos. Had
the struggle been confined to
Americans only, had the wage
been States rights or Union
alone, possibly the result would
have been different. But there
was another cause which, from
the first, handicapped the efforts
of the South, one that appealed
to the lovers of human freedom
everywhere and that brought
these lovers Of freedom under
the banners OF the Union army
the curse of slavery. We call it
a curse, for Southern men as
we'll as Northernors had long
felt the CALLING weight of the in
cubus- the wrong had been initi-
ated by the North and the South
had perpetuated it.
The lord of hosts wanted a
sacrifice for the sin and as it was
a National one, in which the
North was guilty in being the
initial transgressor, nothing it
seemed could wash out the
wrong but an offering Of blood. |
and so the best blood of the

RINGLING CIRCUS

Ringing Brothers Circus and newly
added 100000 spectacle of "Joan. of
Are will exhibit in Washington, D.
c., on April % and &c. The spectacle
in itself is an attraction that should
bring thousands of visitors from the
surrounding country. 1t is beyond
question the greatest production of its
kind ever seen in America. 7
The world s most skillful scenic ar
lists, costumers, property-makers,
chorus directors and stage managers
were engaged to mount the production.
A stage bigger than hundred ordinary
theatres was built and made portable
so that it can be conveyed from town to
town and erected each morning in the
main tent. Thus the circus proprietors
have made it possible for those who
live in contributory towns as we'll as in
the large cities to see this magnificent
wordless play with it's cast of 1000
characters, ballet of 300 dancing girls,
a grand opera chorus of 400 voices, 600
horses, and train load of special seen
cry, costumes, properties and mechan-
ical devices for producing such stage
effects as thunder, lightning, storms,
fires, and the sound of battle.
In the old market place of Rouen.
France, there now stands a monument,
by which the French of today have
sought to redeem their part in the exc
cution of Joan of Arc, who on May 80,
1431, was burned to death on the false
charge of heresy after having delivered
her country from the English and hav-
ing restored the crown to Charles VII.
History records but. the meagre facts
of this strange heroine of eighteen
years, who led the armies of France
victorious through English invasion, and
then, deserted by all, even the indolent
monarch whom she preserved, died by
the cruelest torture known with the
name of the master upon her lips. I'm.
sung in poetry, the name of this simple
peasant girl has come down through
the ages to be revered as that of
saint, and whose wonderful powers and
whose bravery are verify believed to
have been of divine inspiration.
On the triumphant incidents, the vic
torious engagements, the final defeat
of the English armies, and the corona
ton of Charles VII, all achieqed by the
frail Maid of Orleans, has been founded
the inspiring spectacle which gives
Ringling Brothers circus new signif-
canoe and makes an attraction such as
the world in searching for amusement
has never before found.
The regular circus program is more
than ever attractive. It's company of
375 foreign artists, its double menagerie
and it's new street parade will prove
great surprise to those who attend from
this city. The event is one that should
not be missed. Adv

GARDENING

Probably there is no one time
on the face of this earth that so
claims the universal attention OF
men of high and low degree, and
not a few women, fasclnates
them, compels them to taste Its
joys, as a garden. Its charm IS
elusive as to cause, certain IN
fact. Few men whose delights
are keenest have explained, or
can explain, whether the JOY OF
it comes most from the labor,
from the satisfaction Of helping
to produce living things, or from
the fruits thereof. They do not
care to analyze it. They know
that it exists and that it is last
ng. The ease with which the
years seem to slip from the man
who doffs his tailor made clothes,
puts on a shabby mud-stalned
suit and goes to work IN the
cool, damp earth is proof enough
of the satisfaction he derives
from his labor. 1t is, in truth, a
labor of love. He plants his seed
with confidence, watches the tiny
plants jealousy lest harm befall
them, gives them food and drink
and at length reaps the reward.
The great mother of man yields
him a sure return for his labor
and in transforming ugly, dry
looking little seeds into food and
flowers, teachers him anew the
great miracle Of life.
A part Of the pleasure men
whose lots are cast in the mart
of business derive from garden
ing is undoubtedly due to the
contrast between their hurly-
burly life and the peacefulness
each finds as he tills his particu-
lar little corner. The farmer,
though, knows no such contrast,
but his enjoyment is not one
with less real. Weeks before
the time has arrived to stick a
spade in the earth he is busy
with his plans and his orders for
fertilizers. His farm is the
source of his income, a thing to
be cultivated assiduously, but
his garden receives his love in
addition to his work and reveals
1t in its fruits, more delicate and
of a finer flavor than those Of
the field. His troubles fall away,
too, as he digs in its responsive
earth and he obtains from it re-
lief fronehis sorrows. It was no
idle chance that put into words,
'the garden spot Of the world. .
the significance always conveyed
by them. 1t was the Universal
Reorganization of the connotation
of peace and joy that garden"
embodies.
