tSynopsis Of preceding chapters:
Little PeeWee Pepperpott always took
his fathers dinner to him on week
days on Tuesdays there was always
an extra bean or two put in the
furnishing stew by his mother, for,
having safely got over blue Mon
day without getting in a red rage and
committing suicide or switching the
baby, she felt almost in a good humor.
Therefore, the extra beans. One day,
Peewee was swinging the dinner kettle
along on the END Of his Charlie Chap
lin cane when he stopped to watch
workman taking out a crate in the
sidewalk.)
GG"HAT'S the hole my brother
dropped a quarter down." re-
marked Peewee.
The workman showed a great in
terest
well, my boy. you'd better scoot
along with that dinner before il gets
cold" advised the man, in seeming in
difference.
One hour later Peewee returned.
The man was still cleaning the dirt
and sewing it carefully from under the
CRATE.
The next day at noon he was at it
again.
Are you sure this is the crate
brother lost the quarter DOWN." asked
the workman, carelessly.
Sure 1 am replied Peewee, "cause

Diversity the Crop System.

Oklahoma and most of the states in
the south, says John w. Wilkinson
in the Oklahoma Farmer, have en-
tirely too many one-crop farmers
Usually the favorite crop is cotton
and when it fails everything is lost
Often all the feed for the horses as
well as the vegetables, meat and
many other supplies for the family
that might just as well be raised on
the farm are purchased at a good
round price from the neighboring feed
and grocery stores.
Such a plan is bound to be ruin
Gus. This year the position of cotton
growers who are renters is most la
mentable. 1t is one of the years when
apparently everything is going out
and nothing is coming in to Tighten
up the burdens that are falling upon
us on account of the. great war now
being waged in Europe.
However, such misfortunes are not
without lessons of value. To Okla
homa cotton growers it will empha-
size the need of diyersifying farm
crops. At least two or three kinds
of crops should be planted on every
farm and if one crop fails there will
be one or two chances to succeed
with the other crops.
Cut down your cotton acreage at
least 80 per cent and plant this acre
age to other crops. Try kafir, milo,
feterita, Sudan grass, Bermuda grass,
cowpeas, soy beans, cane, alfalfa,
and Spanish peanuts. Sow wheat,
rye and barley for pasture where
other kinds 0f CROPS ar not available
for pastlfe purposes. In the spring

stop buying everything that you can

While you are diversifying your
crops don't forget to diversity your
farming. Get a Few brood sows, a
few mares. some good dairy cows,
and a few chickens for your farm. In
place of selling al, of your feed crops
use your food to fatten farm stock
and in this way get better price
for your farm crops. This will help
you build up the soil fertility of your
farm instead of robbing it complete
ly by hauling off all these products
to distant towns to find a good mar
ket.

MEAT CAUSE Of
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys II
Back Hurts or Bladder
Bothers.

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys
with salts occasionally, says a noted
authority who tells us that meat
forms uric acid which almost par.
alyzes the kidneys in their efforts to
expel it from the blood. They be-
come sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with dull misery in the kid
-ney region, sharp pains in the back
or sick headache, dizziness, your
stomach sours, tongue is coated and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full Of sediment, the chan
nels often get sore and irritated,
obligins you to seek relief two or
three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take a teaspoonful in
a glass of water before breakfast
for few days and your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon Juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for genera
tions to flush and stimulate sluggish
Kidneys, also to neutralize the acids
in urine, so it no longer irritates.
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in

vescent lithia- water drink.

ANSWER TO LAST
 NOTE IN HANDS OF
 EMPEROR WILLIAM
Secretary Lansing Authority for Statement Attitude of U. s. has Not Been Determined.-Notc
 In Emperor's Hands.

Washington, July 1.-Official com munlcatlon on which to base an ac- curate judgement of circumstances un- der which the British steamer Ar |menian was destroyed with the loss of a number of American lives was lack ing tonight and until details are avail |able Secretary Lansing said the posi- tion of the American government could not be determined.
 From news dispatches and a closer reading of reports of yesterday of flclals incline to the view that inas- much as the Armenian apparently
 refused to submit to the warning command of the German submarine
 to halt and made repeated attempts
 to escape, according to international
 law, the sinking of the vessel was justified even though non-combatants were on board. This was the rule laid down in the case of blockade runners in the American civil war and is the lPAS etPpliNetDlc dlSO lO nGuIFdl vessels which refuse to submit to vsiit
 and search.
 There was little tension over the in cident in official quarters here after lit became known the Armenian had sought to evade capture. It was ad- mitted that if official reports bore out
 the press dispatches there was no like lihood that any new cause of com plaint would be added to the issues pending between the United States and Germany. One or two officials suggested that inasmuch as Germany had in effect given warning that enc my ships would be torpedoed without warning, merchantmen carrying con-
 traband might be justified in attempt ing to escape since to halt would mean lcertain destruction with no assurance of an opportunity for the prey to es- cape.
 It was pointed out that the last

American not to Germany on the Lusitania and Falba cases said Nothing but actual forcible resist ance or continued efforts to escape by flight when ordered to stop for the purpose of visit on the part of the merchantmen has ever been held to forfeit the lives of her passengers and crew." The only fact of import ance received officially came in re- port from Ambassador Page who said the British admiralty had in formed him the Armenian was engag- ed in admiralty business"
 Officials of the department declared the question of whether a ship so en- gagged should be treated by hostile vessels as public ship of war or a defenseless merchantmen was "a close question of international law" and an opinion could not be given until the extent of the belligerent governments control over the ship and crew was definitely known.
 In EmperOr's Hands
 Berlin, July 1.-As the result of this weeks conferences on the draft of the German reply to the American note it is now in the hands of En- peror William. The emperor's deci- sion is expected in time so that the note can be presented to the American ambassador probably on July or G. High officials are endeavoring to bring about a friendly settlement of the question with America and there is every reason to believe they are an- xious to make the proposal as concil- iatory as possible.
 These officials, however, have to reckon with the strong force of pub lie opinion which will undoubtedly op- pose anything savouring of complete Iacquiescence in the American propo- sals. This public opinion is being skillfully exploited by those opposed to all concessions. Friends of a set clement are working under these cir cumstances with considerable difficult ty and the note probably will repre- sent a compromise not in accordance with their desires.

ed Tn Texas was coming up, and a good stand reported. Excepting in DOT tions of Oklahoma, Arkansas and some of the more eastern sections of the belt, where the soil was too wet. cultivation proceeded satisfactorily.
 Cultivation and satisfactory growth in all excepting a few districts was favored during the second week by the moderately warm weather, with general absence of continued rain. Wet weather delayed cultivation and caused some damage by flooding in Northern Texas, Oklahoma and the Carolinas, where fields were, becom- ing grassy. In most other sections, however, the crop was well cultivated and the fields clean.
 Continuation of moderately warm weather, with local showers sufficient for requirements, greatly favored cot ton growth during the third week in all portions of the belt. Delay in cul tivation permitted fields in few sec tions to become grassy, but over most districts cultivation proceeded satis- factorily, the fields were clean and the crop continued in good condition.
 Rapid growth was forced during the final week of them onth by continued warm weather, with sufficient moisture and the crop was in good condition and we'll cultivated in nearly all dis tricts. Some retardation of growth was reported from Oklahoma and ad- joining sections, and grassy fields occurred locally, with boil weevil re- ported as active in portions of Alaba- ma, Mississippi and Texas. Thee rop was fruiting in southern districts, and some bloom was reported as far north as North Carolina.

CHAS. BECKER
 MUST PAY THE
 DEATH PENALTY
Governor Whitman Declined to Com mute Death Sentence of Former Police Lieutenant.-Is Given
 Two Weeks Reprieve.

Albany, N. Y, July 1.-Governor Whitman today declined to commute the death sentence of Charles Beck CT, the former New York police lieu tenant convicted of the murder of Herman Rosenthal. Simultaneously Martin T. Manton, Becker's counsel announced he would take no further legal steps in behalf of his client.
 In order that other counsel for Becker may have an opportunity to appeal to the federal courts, how ever, if desided, the governor grant ed the convicted man a reprieve of two weeks from the week beginning July 12 to the week beginning July 26. When MT. Manton left here after the conference with the governor in which he made his final appeal for his clients life he did not know whether the case would be taken to the higher court or what attorney would make the appeal for the con- victed man. Only writ issued by the federal court now will act as stay. A mere appeal will not have that effect
 MT. Manton who retires from the case, never has been of the opinion there was much hope for the federal court interfering. There are few points on which it expected an appeal on constitutional grounds might be taken but they are considered of min or characer. At the last minute it developed tonight that Becker offered to make revelations to the governor in connection with graft in New York police circles. The governor refused to consider this phase of the case.
