Why send out of town for your goods. Out of town merchants don't help pay for your sidewalks and lights, nor do they put one dollar into your city's coffers.

MORE THAN MONEY
By NORMA EVERETT oEAME.
Copyright. 1918. by W. @. Chapman3


Lawyer Abel Doyce loved money.
His once man. Vance Merton. despised
1t. The latter had seen his employer
grow selfish and mean under the
malign influence Of the god Of gold.
More than that. young Merton had
known the hateful power OF money In
other forcible instances. His father
had been rich. Within . week Vance
had seen his entire fortune dissipated
In . reckless speculation. Then those
who had courted the Mertons turned
their backs on them. Worse than
that. the girl whom Vance faucied he
loved coldly repelled him.
Bitter in way. but infinitely wiser.
Vance had ignored the society that
had deluded him. He had gone to
work for Lawyer Doyce. knowing him
to be a close, penurious man. but rath-
er liking him because he WAS consts-
tent in his faults. Doyce made no
hypocritical claims to philanthropy or
moral merit. They got along pretty

some money.

make true some day: 30 FAR from

These were simple. One Eunice

SULPHUR AIDS VINE GROWTH
Cause Of Stimulating Effect Has
Been Made Clear by Recent
Investigations.

Sulphur In commonly used to pro-
tect vines from oidium. and 1t has
long been noticed that when thus used
II has stimulating effect on the
growth of the vines. The experiments
of several French investigators have
now made clear how this effect u
brought about
Sulphur does not act directly n
q plant food. but breaks down COM
plex nitrogenous substances IN the
soil to the ammonia form. Hence its
action Is dependence upon the pres
ence and amount Of organic matter in
the soil. Thus Vermorel and Dantony
treated wheat and beans. grown In
pots with sulphur.
When nitrogen vas also applied In
the form Of nitrates the addition OF
sulphur led to no increase in yield.
but when the same quantity Of nitro
gen was applied in an organic form
dried blood-an increase Of 80 Per
cent was noted for wheat and 60 per
cent for beans.
The most recent and conclusive ex-
periments on this subject are those
Of Professor Chauzit. at Villefranche-
sur.Saone. where half-acre plots of
vines were threated. The effect Of
the sulphur were markedly less in
proportion to the time that had
elapsed since the vines had been ma
nured. and were increased By mixing
the sulphur with the manure.

past that he loved . woman. He knew

Then Vance Merton did . selfish

forgot all about his duty to Lawyer
Doyce. Here was . fresh. charming
girl unspoiled by experience. content
and happy In an humble sphere OF life.
What might not the possession OF
wealth and luxury and idleness DO To

DARIO RESTA FAVORITE
Mammoth Crowd Expected to Witness
Chicago Auto Derby Tomorrow.

Chicago, ILL.,, June 25.-With the
elimination trials over and the lineup
for Saturday determined, the drivers
at the Broadview Speedway today de-
voted themselves to tuning up their
machines by making lap after lap
around the two mile course.
AT the same time contractors were
putting finishing touches upon the
park.
Statistically inclined persons declare
that the crowd at Saturdays race will
be the largest gathering ever brought
together in the United States for a
single event.
With the additional seating capacity
provided for in the last few days, it
is estimated that 100000 can be cared
for without overcrowding. OF this
number, $4,000 are provided for in the
grandstand, $4,000 in the bleachers,
10000 in the so cent circus seats in
the infield- The rest can view the
race from the parking spaces for au-
tomobiles and the free standing space.
The dope" on the derby gives Dario
Resta unquestionable position as the
favorite, several of the competing
drivers having confided to friends that
it is 'Resta's'' race. The wonderful
form of the three Stutz cars and the
surprising performance of the two
Maxwells, however, make it certain
that Resta will have no walkover. Por-
porato, the Italian driver OF one of
the English sunbeams, is generally
looked upon as a dark horse.

coin. Neither side scored i'll the first
time at bat. The Savages made one
and fifth.
In the last of the fifth Lincoln land
ed on Wideman for five safe hits and
four runs. but the big Swede was al

as a pinch hitter and Dashner finished
the contest.
In the ninth inning the Savages tied
the count. Roche led off with a dou-
BILE and went to third on Bostick 5
