people had vanished as the rose of yesterday. It seems they had only hired the place for three months and beyond learning that the name was Smith I came back as wise as 1 went
 Smith, like Miss Hollyhocks better!" said Henderson. "Of course she might have been homely as sin. but, believe me, Wade, only girl with a peachy complexion will guard it with a sunbonnet.'
 Newton laughed indulgently. 'I be- lieve the pink sunbonnet has set you to dreaming, too.' he said.
 "Well, by-by; I'm off" said Tender son. Wire me when you find Miss Hollyhocks."
 "I will" agreed Newton.
 He dismissed the picture and the unknown girl from his thoughts and dressed for dinner He had promised to dine with the Colemans, who had just returned from years travel abroad Their daughter, Dorothy, had held Wade's heart in the hollow of her hand for many months, only she did not know it. Wade was not sure of it himself, for his girl of the holly hooks intruded her mysterious per sonality every time confession hoy cred on the tip of Wade's tongue.
 Dorothy is in the library, Mir. Newton" said Mrs. Coleman as she greeted the painter. "She wanted me to send you to her as soon as you ar rived"
 With a light step Wade entered the library and closed the door behind him. Then he stood as though para lyzed.
 Over in the embrasure of the bow window there stood noble palm. In the shadow of it was girl in pink sunbonnet and a pink frilled gown. She might have stepped out of his picture!
 Who is it?" he asked quickly.
 She stood motionless. one slender white hand extended toward the palm leaves
 In three strides Newton had crossed the room and stood beside her. He utut HiS H6du dHu pS6l 6u OuHu der the pink sunbonnet. A charming pink and white face, a pair of blue eyes and enticing lips. Newton kissed her then and there.
 "Oh!" she cried, and stepped back.
 Dorothy, darling, l never dreamed -I never guessed-that you were my hollyhock girl" he breathed rapidly, his eyes afire What were you do- ing there in Happy Valley, and why didn't you tell me that you were stop ping there? Who are the Smiths, any way?"
 But Dorothy only shook her head and fled from him, saying that she must change her dress. He caught her hand at the door.
 You love me-you will be my wife, darling?" he asked You know how long I have loved you. To think you should be my dream girl too! You love mel" he insisted
 She nodded-he kisse> her again. Copyright, 1915, by the Mcclure News

Trout prowns a Muskrat.

Lew McQuiston, one of Bellefontes best anglers, went up Spring creek and while whipping the stream he saw lively commotion on the other side of the creek, says a dispatch to the Washington Post from BeIlefonte. Pa In the gathering twilight 1t was hard to distinguish what it was, but he finally made out muskrat and a trout which he ayers, was two feet long.
 The big rat managed to get out on the bank and drew the trout with it. but the fish Topped around, hanging on to the rats nose, until 1t finally Topped back into the water. Within a few minutes the cemmotion died down, and the trout swan away, leaving the muskrat's lifeless body on the creeks bottom

H.-HoW PLANTS FEED.

By w. c. Lassetter, Asst. Director
 Cooperative Extension for Arkansas
 Plants require for their growth, me chanical support, air, heat, light, wa ter and food. All of these, with the exception of light, are supplied wholly or in part by the soil. Composed as it is of rock fragments and decaying vegetable matter, the soil offers place for root development and af- lords physical support for the plant. The air present in the spaces be- tween the soil particles is used by the roots of plants. Heat is supplied in part by the soil as a result. of it's physical condition. Water, while not component part of soil, is furnished to the plant by 1t, and the physical condition of the soil determines the amount of water that may be reserved for use by plants. The water sur rounding the soil particles dissolves plant food and the solution is absorb ed by the plant roots. Thus the soil must not only furnish a physical sup port for plants, but it must supply plant food and afford a means for transferring the food to the plant.
 Ten elements of plant food are con- sidered to be absolutely essential for the growth of plants. Three of these, carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. are ob- tained from the air, while phospho- rus, potassium, calcium 0ime), mag nesium, iron and sulphur are obtained directly from the soil itself.
 Carbon and oxygen are obtained from the air, where carbon is pres ent in the form of carbon -dioxide gas and where oxygen exists in free con dttiun- Theae gAnes Rre taken into the plant through the leaves, and there combine with water to form

the complex vegetable compounds.

the complex vegetable compounds.
 The nitrogen used by plants is secured through the soil Through decay of the vegetable matter in the soil the nitrogen-bearing compounds in it are broken down into more sim pie forms, which, through the action of various soil bacteria, are soon changed into form that can be used by plants. With these processes go- ing on all the time (except when the soil is frozen or waterlogged), a con- stant supply of available nitrogen is provided. The content of vegetable matter in the soil must be kept up at all times to insure sufficient quantity of nitrogen for good crops.
 Nitrogen from the air can only be secured by growing leguminous crops on the roots of which nodules are formed. The bacteria living in the nodules gather nitrogen from the air in the soil. and store it in organic combination in the nodules. Some of this is used by the host plant, but most of it is left in soil to become available through decay of nodules.
 The mineral clements essential for plant growth are supplied by the soil They are part, to a greater or less degree, of the rock fragments which constitute the body of the soil
 Lime in soils becomes soluble so readily, and our rainfall is so heavy, that it has been washed from even the best limestone soils in Arkansas. Most of our soils, therefore, are lacking in lime sufficient for the sat isfactory growth of many lime loving crops. This. with other changes in the soil, has led to soil acidity.
 Phosphorus and potash are present in all soils, usually in quite insoluble form. They form a part of certain minerals found in the rock fragments of the soil These minerals are brok- en down and the phosphorus and pot ash made soluble through exposure to weather, the atmosphere, the decay of vegetable matter, and a slight solv- ent effect of plant roots. Potash in many of our soils is present in suf- ficient quantities to last for hundreds of years, but because of improper till lage and an insufficient amount of de- caying vegetable matter it does not in all cases become soluble fast enough to support good crops.
 Phosphorus is the mineral element | most seriously lacking in Arkansas soils. For satisfactory crops of any kind it is necessary to replentish the supply by the application of phosphorus bearing fertilizer, raw rock phosphate, acid phosphate, or bone meal.
 When the supply of any one of the ten elements of plant food is limited, 1 the crop is limited. Since all of these are furnished either by the air or by the soil we know where to look for the cause of an unsatisfactory crop. As pointed out in the above paragraphs, nitrogen, phosphorus and potash are the essential elements to which most attention must be given

SuffIe|d Young Nan Claims He Killed
 AQed Victim in Self Defense.

Suffield, Conn.,, Feb. 22.-An ar gument over the ownership of m axe eliminated in murder late Sunday when Arthur Wilson, 2S years of age, shot and instantly killed Jack Mum, aged 30. After the shooting Wilson walked to the residence of Hugh Nj. Alcorn, states attorney for Hartford county, and is said to have made complete confession.
 Shot in Self Defense.
 According to MT. Alcorn. Wilson says he shot in self defense, to avoid being struck by an axe. Three shots entered the body, any one of which probably would have caused death. Wilson was taken into custody and is now in cell at the local lookup, held without bail for preliminary hearing tomorrow.
 Lived in Same House.
 Mum and Wilson lived in the same house, owned by Mum, on Bos- ton Neck street. Two Polanders lived with Wilson. At 4:3O yesterday afternoon Mum and Wilson entered into a heated argument as to who owned an axe. Mum had the axe in his hand at the time. It is said that Wilson went to his trunk, and drew out revolver of 32 calibre and fired three shots. One entered the breast; another pierced the nose and the third struck near the right temple.
 Two Held as Witnesses.
 Dr. William F.. Caldwell made a examination upon being notified of the crime by the states attorney.
 An autopsy was performed to- day. The two Polanders who are said to have witnessed the shoot ing, are held as witnesses.

GERMAN AIR RAID
 ON ENGLISH TOWNS
Bombs Dropped On Four Places;
 Little Damage Reported.

London, Feb. 22, 1922 a. m-A Braintree dispatch to the press asso- citation says that about S:3O o'clock last night a hostile aeroplane dropped missiles, supposed to be incendiary bombs, on the fields close to Brain tree, but they did no damage.

 No reports have been received from any other places than those mentioned concerning the visit by enemy air craft.
 Had Narrow Escape.
 ., tore holes in the ground several feet in diameter. The occupants Of a house at Colchester had a narrow escape from injury. Quartermaster sergeant Ra bijohn of the Hussars, who occupied a house on the Butts road, said that he was sitting with his wife at dinner when loud explosion was heard and shrapne1 bullets flew into the sitting room, striking pictures and furniture. Neither Rabjohn nor his wife was hit.
 They rushed upstairs where their baby was sleeping and found the child in it's crib uninjured, although part of the bedroom ceiling had fallen as a result of the concussion. The con- tents of the kitchen in the Rabljohn house were wrecked and the outbuild- ings smashed. The windows in ad-' joining houses were broken.
 The bomb dropped in Braintree was conical and almost a yard long.

STEEL MILLS TO CLOSE.
2,5OO Men Thrown Out of Work By
 Civil Population aa Tsing-Tau.

Granite City, H., Feb. 22.-The steel mills here closed Saturday for an indefinite period The order clos ing the plants threw more than 2,5OO men out of work. Several days ago a majority of the members of the Amalgamated Association of. Steel, Iron and Tin Workers in Granite City voted to accept a cut in wages rather than have the plants closed down The reduction, however, was not ap- proved by the national organization and the men were ordered to demand their regular. wage. This the gen. eral manager of the company an nounced he was not able to pay and issued the closing order.
 Pittsburg Feb. 22.-Oficials of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Plate Workers at head quarters here, said Saturday that the referendum vote taken on the wage reduction recently was final so far as the association was concerned, and the next move must be made by the manufacturers as there is now no question of wages before the assOcia- tion.

upon starving city to compel obe- dence to his decrees by melting out lawry and at the same time uses means to prevent the city being sup piled with food, there is a situation which it is impossible for the United States to contemplate longer with patience.
 "ConditiOns have become intoler- able and can no longer be endured. The government of the United States therefore desired Obregon and Car ranza to know that it has, after ma ture consideration, determined that if as q result of the situation for which they are responsible, Amer jeans suffer by reason of the conduct of the constitItiOnalist forces in the City Of Mexico, or because they fail to provide means of protection to life and property, it will hold Obregon and CarranZa personally responsible. Therefore, having reached this de- termination with the greatest consid- eration. the government of the Unit ed States will take such measures as an expedient to bring to account those who are personally responsible for what may occur

 The battle on the roads from KhOr- jele to PrZasnysZ along which the Ger mans hope to reach and pierce the Russian fortress line, still continues. The weather having turned colder, the ground in North Poland has hardened, which will greatly facilitate the move ment of troops. This is said to be the first time in history when the weather has favored an enemy attempting to invade Russia.
