There is plenty of roughage and grain

THE pERLs OF PAULINE.
The Story Of the Seventh Episode SAT-
urday. Dec. 18th.

Having left Harry on the road for
dead, and having Pauline in his pow
er, Hicks takes her to an old house
and locks her up. As he leaves the
room he lights a cigarette and care
lessly throws the match away. 1t lights
in some straw and sets the house on
fire. Hicks starts to put the fire out,
put gets an idea and walks out, leav-
ing Pauline to her fate. Harry has re-
vived and tries to follow the trail tax
en- by Hicks. He meets an old farmer
who has seen an automobile pass that
looks suspicious. Harry borrows one
Of the farmers horses and follows. In
the meantime Owen has notified the
police that Pauline is missing. One
OF the newspapers hears and sends q
reporter to get the story. He meets
Harry and joins him in the search.
They are attracted to the burning
building and hear Paulines cries for
help. Breaking down the door, they
erscue her just in the nick Of time.
The reporter has big story and does
1t full Justice in the papers the next
day. The publicity is very annoying TO
Pauline and Harry, so she decides to
90 away for a time. She send tele-
gram to her uncle in Montana that she
is coming to visit him. Harry tele-
phones the message to the telegraph
company and is overheard by Owen,
who at once ararnges with Hicks to
20 to Montana. Pauline's uncle ar
ranges some real Western life for in
the shape Of fake holdup by some
of his cowboys. Hicks also arranges
with some bad men to hold up Pauline
on her way from the station. The
Hicks holdup is successful, as the
uncle thinks II is his own pre-ar-
ranged joke. BY the time he realizes
his mistake the party with Pauline
is far away and Harry is not at hand
this time to 60 to her assistance. This
episode is wonderfully thrilling. It Is,
probably, the best Of all the episodes
that have yet been shswn.

that considerable area Of land pro-
duces two crops in year. This
means, Of course, that thorough and
efficient soil preparation must be had,
and that the land must be judiciously
handled and as well fe-tilized as pos
sible. It is well to remember also
that the system Of farming proposed
tends to conserve fertility, as some
Of the crops grown are Of restora-
tive nature and If the crops are fed

discussion, large quantity Of manure

28e bushels for the eight acres. The
three acres Of wheat should yield col
bushels Of threshed grain; the five
acres Of oats, 40 bushels per acre, sr
200 bushels all told. The Irish pota-
toes should yield 100 bushels and the
sweet potatoes 100 bushels. The gar
den should provide an abundance Of
food for the family and leave con-
siderable surplus for sale. Many Of
the canning cub girls in Georgia
have sold more than $50 worth Of to-
matoes from tenth-acre garden. The
five acres devoted to grazing crops
fer hogs with such supplemental
grain as the farmer raises should be
ample to gurnish rs animals with a
weight Of 200 pounds apiece, or 5000
pounds Of pork in all. It is, Of couri e,
figured that the necessary brood sows,
three to five in number, viii also be
fed and retained on the farm for an
other year. At least IL tons of hay
should be produced after the wheat
aud cat crop, or at the rate Of ton
and half per acre.
II small crop Of cotton is produc-
ed next year, the five bales Of cotton
should sell at 10 cents . pound, or
$3.50. Retaining eight bushels Of
wheat per capita for home use on the
basis Of a family Of five, there is 20
bushels Of wheat left for sale, which
is worth $50. The oats should be re-
tanned on the farm and fed. The same
Is true Of the corn. At least $50 worth
Of Irish and sweet potatoes should b
sold, making 500 from this source. $50
worth Of garden truck could easily be
disposed Of. The poultry consisting
of rs to so laying hens should yield
the farmer an income Of 500. The
hogs at 10 cents pound should bring
lin $500. In addition to the above,
there is an abundance Of grain for
feeding one to two head Of work
stock and at least two COWS which

A farmer has % acres Of land fair
ly well suited to cultivation. He has
been emphasizing cotton production
very strongly inthe past. He sudden
ly finds cotton Improbable and real
ICES that under existing conditions he
must change his practice essentially.
This is the issue confronting the
Southern farmer at the present time.
What can he do to meet the situation !?
First Of all, he should minimize cot
ton production and not attempt to
devote more than five acres Of his
land to the cultivation Of this crop in
1915. At least eight acres Of the land
now in cotton should be seeded to ce-
reals immediately; three acres SHOULD
be used where the soil is suited to
this crop, for wheat, and FIVE acres
for oats. He should prepare an acre
OF land as carefully as possible with
the idea Of planting Irish potatoes
as early in the spring as it is practica-
BILE to put them in the ground. When
the Irish potato crop is harvested the
land should be devoted to sweet pota-
toes. He should set aside five acres
to be planted to grazing crops to be
harvested by hogs. he should GER
tainly devote half acre to garden
for his family and to the production
of such truck as win sell most readily
in the local markets. One-haf acre
Of land should be devoted to the growth
Of variety Of crops suited to poultry
Eight acres should be devoted to corn
with velvet beans, peanuts, or cowpeas
in the middIes. As soon as the oats ane
wheat are ripe, prepare the land thor
ouxhly and sow to peas, or peas ant
millet for hay.
This accounts for the % acres which
the small farmer can hope to operat'
successfully with the power Of one o
two horses or mules and such labor a
his family can provide. The readel
viii observe that this provides for Al
intensive system Of cultivation M

MEDIATION IS

1aND QUESTION CAN BE AGREED
ON BY MEXICAN DELEGATES
Amicable Adjustment of Differences
Between Huerta and U. S. Will
Be Made Also
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, May 6.-Late de-
velopments of the Mexican mediation
encouraged the administration to-
day Huerta and the American dele
gates are nearing accord on the land
moblem. The Mexicans formerly
declared this point an internal one
and out of place at the conference.
II was mainly the cause of Mexico's
Hyp wears of unrest. The Americans
declare settlement necessary for in
tprnal pacification. A basis has also
been reached for negotiating the dis
MITE between Huerta and the United
States. Reports that Carranza re-
|mses consideration of any mediation
|moposals are denied, and, on the
contrary, his close friends declare he
lis watching the Niagara Falls con-
ference closely. 1t is believed here
THAT though Carranza captures Mex
|ico City mediation will be necessary
|for the establishment of a constitu-
|tional government. Carranza's re-
kusal to send delegate to Niagara
Fails does not discourage them, de-
klare officials. Mexico City reports
Ehat the Mexican officials are hope
hui over the conference but believe
h will continue longer than antici-
hated
