 "Wilkerson-Harry Wilkerson," John answered bitterly.
 "Wikerson?" repeated the lieutenant. That puts another color on the mat ter Wilkerson and Sing Wah used to be pals. This'll bear looking into. Come on, men,"
 With wonderful quickness the officer disposed his men so that every known exit was guarded. Then he motioned to John to follow him and went boldly up to the shop door and entered.
 Followed again futile barley with a Chinese who professed to know no language but his own. The lieuten- ants quick ear caught a sound of something moving directly behind the impassive clerk. Brushing him aside, he smashed in the door in the parti- ton and strode into the hallway be- yond John Dorr was close at his heels.
 The next few moments were to live long in Johns memory as the strang- est of his life.
 Be carefulr' warned the officer. "The rascals may start shooting"
 Even as he spoke there was ruddy Hash down the dark alleyway. and Dorr staggered back.
 "Only my arm." he muttered.

SO|L REGULATION

In Growing Legumes It ls Well te Know Whether Proper Bacteria Are Present in the Soil.

The beneficial effects of growing le gumes on poor soils have been recog' nized from the earliest days of agr1' cultural history. For this reason there has always been a tendency to grow legumes especially in older farming regions.
 Investigate Bacteria.
 In growing legumes it is always per tinent to know whether proper bac- teria are present in the soil so that the legume can take part of its supply of nitrogen from the air and not entirely from the soil. No one can tell this until the legume is tried. By digging up the plant by the roots and washing the soil away with water the nodules, if present, can easily be lesume plant cannot take nitrogen from the air.
 Methods of lnoculation.
 When growing a certain legume on soil and especially in a community where 1t has never been grown there Is always a chance that artificial in- oculation may be necessary. Two methods are commonly employed. One Is known as the soil transfer method Here soil at the rate of 200 to 5OC pounds to the acre is taken from an old field where tle legume has been growing, and the bacteria are known to be present. and scatter over the held to be planted. With the other method pure cultures of the strain of bacteria suited to a certain legume are made Such cultures are made by certain commercial concerns, or may be secured in limited quantities free or charge by writing to the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. c. Although soil in oculatlon Is likely to be the more cer- tain, the pure cultures can be used to good advantage where inoculatcd soil cannot be secured.

 Trapped. by smoke" said the lieu tenant. He laid a warning hand ou Doris arm. Keep quiet We've lost our directions and we must wait mo- ment till we discover where that door way is"
 So they stood hesitant for a few sec onds panel slipped open in the wall and wOman's face appeared for an instant. Swift as the Chinawoman was, the police officer was quicker and he plunged through the shallow panel, with Dorr at his shoulder.
 Once through they paused in the semidarkneSs to orientate themselves. Finally the lieutenant stepped forward '"This way" he said. 'I hear volces."
 At that very moment there came up to them an unearthly scream, a shriek of pure terror.

 Instead of the firm footing they ex- pected empty air received them. Twen- ty feet below they struck the water
 Spluttering and swearing, the police man helped Dorr to a little ledge that ran alongside the tunnel.
 "The miserable Chink dropped us into the big sewer" he gasped. Tt runs into the bay just a little ways on. We'll have to swim for 1t. part ner."
 Dorr looked down at his arm and shook his head. Isn't that q boat over there?" he demanded, pointing into the shadow
 Blamed if it ain't." said the lieuten- ant. much relieved "Well soon be out of here."
 In spite of his wound Dorr insisted on rowing. and the officer philosoph- fcally allowed him to, seating himself gingerly in the stern of the little craft and lending 1t off the brick walls of the tunnel with his hands as the swift current drew them onward.
 To John the whole affair seemed like a dream. He saw the great dripping arches sliding past overhead to join the long vista of arches that bridged the gfimmering water which splashed gently along to the call of the tide; he saw the dark bulk of the lieutenant in the stern; he felt the pain of his wound; he still heard Ruths wild call for help. But it was all unrelated, as if each were a fact by itself, isolated. He struggled to gather his senses together.

Our Capitalists and the War.

OuT NdpitdllStS ana tue war.
 From the Westliche Post.
 While the American people as a whole are suffering from the conner ,cial and industrial stagnation resulting from the war, there is small capital istic group that is coining money out of other peoples misfortuneS and who not only desire to prolong the Euro pean conflict, but to draw our country into it. They are the ones that con trol the factories supplying war ma terials of all sorts to the allies and have boosted their investments to sev eral times the original value. But they are not satisfied with these pro fits alone; they have another coup in contemplation that will come off in the near future. They figure that Eng lands power to pay in gold for it's purchases vii exhaust itself and that, to create a new basis for credits, it will be compelled to dispose of large holdings of American securities. This would glut the market and, aided by a timely selling campaign on Wall Street, would depreciate values to such an extent that the small fellows will become doubtful as to the se- curity of their investments. They will sell out at the bottom of the market, the prudent capitalist will assume their burden and the market will re- cover. The same coup has been work ed time and again and the conditions for its successful repetition seem es- pecially suspicious.

curved sharply and blast of fresh air struck them. "We'll be swept out into the bay. Keep the boat trim"'
 Awakened by this warning, John de- voted himself to his oars and half moment later steered their little craft out under the piles of a wharf.
 Where to nowI' he demanded duly.
 The lieutenant pointed a thick fore finger toward another small boat a few rods away. There is Sing Wah now, by smoke" he exclaimed.
 John Dorr glanced around. He first saw the impassive visage of the Chi nese and then the figure crouched in the stern sheets. It was Ruth! He raised his voice in triumphant yell. Hearing that call from her mate, the girl reused herself and cried back across the water: John! John"
 At this point the police officer took part with stern order to Sing Wah to stop rowing and surrender. He em- phasized this command by covering the Chinese with his revolver.
 Sing Wah was of no mind to be caught in this way. With a dexterous sweep of the oars he swrled his little skitf around so that Ruth was between him and the other boat, and he never ceased to pull doggedly away.
 "You've got to row, son." said the lieutenant grimly. Mir Sing Wan doesn't intend to be caught so easily l daren't shoot for fear of hitting the girl"
 John saw the reasonabeness of this and bent to his oars without regard to his wound. The boat surged through the water after the other.
 With a good lead of hundred yards Sing Wah stood d fair show of gaining his object-a landing under some wharf and quiet escape. He knew that if he were to fall into the hands of the police under the present cir cumstances he would be treated mer- cilessly He rowed furiously.
 But the Chinese had long since ceas. ed active fife. and his muscles were soft. John Dorr steadily gained on him. Slowly he crept up, foot by foot, inch by inch, his eyes fixed on the steady figure of the officer fin the stern
 Al last he caught encouragement from the policeman's face. He heaved the skilf fairly out of the water, grasp, ed the stern of the other boat and be fore the Chinese could clear himself for d leap overheard was upon him.
 Now, Sing Wah was true oriental. It showed in his swift drawing of knife and swifter slash at John Dorr's arm But he was too late With an inarticulate roar of rage John duna the knife overheard and then flung its owner after it
 Sing Wah gone and swimming away toward the shelter of a nearby wharf, John strOde back to where Ruth lay half inanimate and picked her up in his arms.

HARVESTING THE ONION.

How shall l store my onions so that they will keep during the remain der of the summer and during win. ter?"
 The above question is one that is Frequently asked by the farmers of the state. The following suggestions. If carried out will greatly help in solving the problem:
 Do not allow the onions to remain Tn the ground after they are mature, but dig them when from so to 90 Der cent of the tops die and fall over. Three or four rows may be piled to- gether in a windrow as they are dug and allowed to remain in this way un. tll the tops are dry, which will re. quirc several days owing to the de. gree of sunshine. It may be neces. sary to turn the onions over at inter- vals of two days until they are thor. oughly dry. Do not allow white onions to remain in the sun until they turn green.

AS soon as properly cured in the held, place the onions in bags and car. ry to the storage house. The stor- age house should be well ventilated especially until the bulbs are thor. oughly dry If only a few bushels arc to be stored, it is good idea to spread them out on the 1cor of g building, piling them not more than SIX inches deep on the floor When placed in this way there is little dan. ger of the bulbs heating or sproutinq from moisture. Some of the regular onion storage houses have a series of shelves, one above the other in which the bulbs are spread out to dry. If you have to store them in bags leave plenty of air space between the diff ferent bags and be sure the bulbs ar, all cured before placing them in the bags.

CH|NA'S REBE[SASSERT
MONARCHY|S NOT LEGAL
Yunnan Leaders Maintain Republic
and Yuan Is Making Steps to
Crush Them.

PEKING. December 2S.-The revolu-
tionists in Yunnan declare that they
are maintaining a republic, and they
have the only legal government in
China. President Yuan Shi-Kai has
asked the French minister to isolate
the revolutionists by serving a rail-
way, telegraph and mail service from
Yunnan-Fu to the sea. He also sought
permission to send troops to Yunnan
by the French railway. His requests
were referred to the Paris govern
ment.
The foreign office has issued a state
ment saying that the revoIutionists
were acting on the mistaken belief
that President Yuan Shi-Kai had prom
ised the triple entente powers special
privileges if the change from re-
public to a monarchy in China was not
opposed by them.
The statement urges the entente
powers to make declaration that they
have not interfered in Chinese INTERNAL
affairs and never demanded special
privileges. The statement SAYS also
that the province of Yunnan will be
easily pacified.

Patriotism of Women.

Mrs. William Cumming Story, speak
ing on Patriotism of Women" said, in
part:
LAS this is an occasion of importance
and peculiar interest, have selected a
most exalted and embracing topic
the patriotism of women.
If men by virtue of their physical
strength and mental qualifications
have been from time immemorial the
defenders of our nation, women are the
mothers of men and no less qualified
TO give of the riches of their minds and
hearts their loyal devotion to country.
The womans motto is usually Home
and Country, partaking of the Cod
given qualities that upbuild, creating
the unit that makes for a strong and
splendid whole, and from this love of
home comes naturally a love of coun-
try.
ITO you, the distinguished repre-
sentatives of our nearby sister repub-
lies, we of the United States extend
our love and cordial good will, and
we look upon this occasion of meeting
as one that is precious to us in that
it affords us an opportunity to know
better and therefore to love better the
women who hold in their hearts that
most beautiful love of their own love
ly land and close to this that ran
American union of spirit which is so
precious and so essential to the people
of America"
