Old Resident Passes Away.

Clay Clark passed away Sunday
evening about 8 o'clock at his
home just west of the First Baptist
Church. On Wednesday of last
week he was stricken with paralysis
and never recovered consciousness.
He was born in Kentucky and
came to this city with his parents
when boy and has lived in and
near here ever since He was con-
verted and joined the Methodist
Church at Sharpsburg under the
ministry of Rev. B. F. Spencer.
He was well past the three score
years and ten. He was never very
strong but during the past year or
two his failure has been very
noticeable.
He leaves two sisters, Misses
Mary and Rida and two brothers,
c. c., better known as Neil, of Kan
sas City and Weller of Palmyra.
AS the Methodist Church is un-
dergoing repair and Rev. j. H. Hub
bard is in Texas the funeral serv-
ices were held Friday morning in
the First Baptist Church conducted
by Rev. W. P. Wynn, of Arch St.
Hannibal and assisted by Rev. Sam
P. Gott, pastor of the First Baptist
Church.

New Cabbage Variety.

The Enkhuizen Glory cabbage is
receiving more attention, perhaps.
than any other variety introduced in
recent years, says a writer in an ex-
change. A few days ago I talked
with a central Pennsylvania farmer
who is most enthusiastic regarding
its merits. The points of special in
terest and value which he mentioned
are that the heads seldom burst and
that they are almost as solid as Dan
ish Ballhead. The plants are also
certain headers. The variety should
receive general trial throughout the
country, for it may replace some Of
the well-known standard varieties.

Proper and improper soil grading.

Ing, showing exposure of subsoll; c,

ticial means a soil which will ap-
proach in texture either of the types
recommended. Our effort should
nevertheless, be directed to attaining
as closely as possible these ideals.
Where a pure sand or a light
sandy soil is the only foundation for
the lawn top dressing of two or
three inches of clay should be given
and incorporated with the first four
to six inches of the sand, and after
this, if possible, the area should be
used for the production of some crop
which gives an abundance of vege-
table matter. In latitudes south of
Washington, d. c., cow peae and soy
beans, and in districts north of this
red clover, vetches and Canada peas
are suitable for this type of soil i'm
provement. These crops II allowed to
occupy the land until their maximum
/ growth is attained and then plowed

the structure of the soil in making 1t
more retentive of moisture, better
able to hold fertilizers applied to it
and less liable to allow the green
sward upon it to be killed out in

How to Break Up Broodlnq.

The best and quickest method of
breaking up broody hens Is to build a
cage entirely of laths, without any
solid floor to it, and hang or fasten
the cage up outdoors where the air
can pass through it. A hen treated
in this way will be broken from set
ting in a very few days and it is not
necessary to deprive her of food or
water nor to nearly drown her in a tub
of water, as is done too often. Broody
hens should not be starved, but fed all
they will eat. Heavy feeding starts
them laying quickly after their broodi-
ness has been ended. Starving them
delays egg production much longer.

Bees In General Farming.

A few Of US realize how important
bees are to our farm, garden and
orchard crop. If the bees were ter
minated this year there would be a
failure of the clover seed crop; the
same would be true of many vege-
tables and fruits.
Many flowers must be cross fertil-
lied, and it often requires some in
sect to do this. The apiary may thus
serve a double purpose, furnish the
family with sweets and increase the
seed, vegetable and fruit production.

GRADING SOILS FO2 A LAWil
Lesuminous Crop Of Some Kind
Should Be Planted to Furnish
Vegetable Matter Needed.
(BY ]. j. SKINNER.)

The ideal soil for grasses best suit
ed for lawn making is one which is
moderately moist and contains a con-
siderable percentage of clay-a soil
which is somewhat retentive of mois-
ture, but never becomes excessively
wet, and is inclined to be heavy and
compact rather than light, loose and
sandy. A strong clay loan or sandy
loan underlaid by clay subsoil is
undoubtedly the nearest approach to
an ideal soil for lawn; it, therefore,
should be the aim in establishing a
lawn to approach as near as possible
to one or the other of these types Of
soil. In many localities it will be
very difficult to produce by any arti

suzzlna Sounds Made by Insects.

The different humming or buzzing
sound in insects is caused by the vi
bration of the wings, and the more
rapid the vibrations the sharper the
sound. Scientists have estimated that
the common house fly vibrates its
wings about 1886 times a second and
the honeybee 400 times, though a
tired bee moves its wings more slow
ly and makes a different sound from
a fresh one. The butterfly is content
to move more slowly and makes no
noise.

Great boxes, most mysterious in ap-

the streets of Waikiki and housed at
the armory. There are all kinds of the
cries afoat as to what they contain,
but no one really knows, aside from
the committee of shriners themselves,
who have charge of all arrangements.
Stunts of various kinds have already
been worked on the unsuspicious, and
many gullible persons on Maui believe
that Kaiser Wilhelm has cabled that no
Germans should take part in tomor.
rows proceedings. Just how much to
believe the daily bits of news on the
street no one really knows, and every.
thing that the shriners are up to will
not be entirely known until tomorrow
afternoon when the procession starts
from the town hall, with some twelve
prominent Maui men in the parade.
The arrest of w. G. Ashley and R.
w. Breekons, Tom Sharp and some 10
other prominent shriners here for the

some Importance, for it is reported that
initiates are to blame for the enforce

guished visitors.

JAPAN NEWSPAPERS
CRITICIZE CHINA
FOR APPEAL TO u. S.

That the recent appeal TO the United

was a stupid action on the part Of the
Chinese government is the opinion of
the Osaka Mainichi. one of the lead.
ing iailies of the japanese empire, An
editorial in late issue of that paDer
which arrived in. Honolulu this morning
says:
Both our Picking and our Washing
ton correspondents cable to the effect
that the Chinese Government appealed
last Thursday to the United States and
Japan to intereede with belligerent
countries in order to effect localiza-
tion OF the war, and thus ensure the
Far East exemption from hostilities.
Yuan Shih-Kai displays gross stu
pidity making such an appeal to the
United States and Japan. England
Germany, France, and Russia have
their territories in the Far East. Should
they begin fighting in those territories,
neither the United States nor Japan
could rightly interfere We are in
complete agreement with our Washing
ton correspondent when he saws IT Is
"'Oo' ""iiNCiy tLdl the I nlted states
will grant the Chinese request. "

War and the United States" the Mai
nichi further says: ..

says that President Wilson sent letters
to the sovereigns of the five belligerent
countries, Germany, Austria Hungary,

that he would be glad to mediate in

much perturbed by the European con

A. CALL TO ENGLAND.


(Robert Bridges, poet laureate, ha.
contributed to the London Times thG
following verses: $780,
Thou careless, awake!
Thou peacemaker, fight!
Stand, England, for honor
And God guard the right.
Thy mirth lay aside,
Thy cavil and play,
The foe is upoh thee q
And grave is the day.
The Monarch, Ambition,
Has harnessed his slaves,
But the folk of the ocean
Are free as the waves.
For peace thou art armed,
Thy freedom to hold,
Thy courage as iron,
Thy good faith as gold.
Through fire, air and water
Thy trial must be,
But they that love life best
Die gladly for thee.
The love of their mothers
Is strong to command;
The fame of their fathers
Is might to their hand.
Much suffering shall cleanse thee,
But thou through the food
Shalt win to salvation
To beauty through blood.
Up, careless, awake!
Yea, peacemakers, fight!
England stands for honor,
God defend the right.
