for a woman to buy as tits for a man

In some manner or other Florence
became separated from Susan. she
hunted through aisle after aisle, but
could not find her: for the simple rea-
son that Susan was hunting for her.
1t occurred to the girl that Susan
might have wisely concluded, the best
place to wait would be in the taxicab.
And SO Florence hurried out into the
street, into the arms OF the Wendt
family, who were patiently awaiting
her.
The trusted chauffeur had been sent
around to the side entrance by the
major domo. The young lady had SO
requested, so he said.
Florence struggled and called for
the policeman, who came running up.

SEED PRICES
May Interfere with Glover
Crops as European War
Sends Them Soaring.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Sept. r.
Prices for imported crimson clover
and hairy vetch seed have recently
shown such q marked upward ten
dency that specialists of the Depart
ment of Agriculture fear. that tn"
cost of these seed, of which Europe
is the chief source, will interfere with
the Increasing use of these legumin
Gus cover crops. In fact, it is feared
legumes may go so high as to make
it inadvisable to plant them this year.
Before the present European condi-
lions arose. crimson clover seed was
selling at from 81 to IS per bushel.
Up to August Is there was scarcity
Of this seed in the United States. ow-
ing to the fact that the receipts from
Europe were smaller than usual.
The prices then advanced from $3.50
to So per bushel. Since that date
importations have continued to ar
rive. until there is now more import
ed seed available for fall seeding
than there was in this country a year
ago at this time. This seed, accord
ing to the Department. information,
was all imported at approximately
the same price as that sold for "a to
$3.50 per busheI In the early part OF
the season. The present high price,
therefore, is regarded by the Depart-
ment as unwarranted from the stand
point of the supply and the import
price of the seed. Some dealers are
continuing to sell at the former
price. but these are exceptions.
If the present high price is
maintained, the specialists are doubt
full whether crimson clover can be
profitably used as green manure
crop for seeding IN corn or on vacant
ground, or under other conditions
where the catch is not reasonably
certain. Under such conditions they
point out that it will be better prac-
tice to SOW rye this fall and use the
difference in price in adding nitro
gene to the soil in the form of nj
trate of soda or some other highly nj
trogenous fertilizer. The rye will al

AN ACTRESS
NEW YEARS
DAY

"HrEW YEARS day" said thu
I'll late Fanny Davenport. the
IN famous actress, brings
each year to me 4 very
pleasant recollection Of what happened
some years ago while playing 'Gis-
monda' in Los Angeles. Cal.
1T was after my New Years per.
formance. and as ! was about to take
my carriage young lady stepped up
and handed me a little box. which
opened when ! arrived ut the hotel
and found 1t contained q jewel serpent
bracelet. There was a card inside with
the following inscriptions: No day bet
ter than this can we express our
thanks to our noble benefactOr. and
the name signed.
There is quite d story connected
with this girl. Years ago. when my
father, the late e. L. Davenport. made
his southern tours. ut Savannah. Ga.
there was family who thought all
the world of him On one Of these
tours | accompanied my father, and
child as ! was at that time ] remem
bered our more than hospita bile treat
ment by them.
The war came. and. like many other
southerners. they lost their all and
emigrated to southern California
When first visited Los Angeles with
Fedora | was taking walk on the
street. and happening to look up ]
noticed a name which was very falnil-
lar to me. 1t immediately entered my
mind that they were our southern
friends. To make sure went upstairs
and found that they were conducting
in very small way millinery and
dressmaking establishment

Weather indications have always

the signs believed and acted upon in
good faith. Centuries ago our .druid
ancestors observed New Years day by
wonderful religious and mystical cere-
