the frost off before the sun rises.
This has never failed to protect the

the case of beans that are up when
the frost threatens, usually take the
garden plow and throw burrows ofer
them from each side. This is certain

The New England varieties are the
best keepers. They are pulled when
the tops fall over and lie in the sun
during the day, but they are stored
before night in a hot loft for curing
with the tops left on.
When perfectly cured they are
stored in cold, dark place with the
dry tops still on, as they lie more
loosely in this way and do not sprout
so readily as when the tops are cut
off

/ frequently have letters from peo-
pie saying that they have been manur-
ing their gardens for years till the soil
is so rich that potatoes make immense
| tops and no tubers. This is not be-
cause the soil is too rich, but because
the plant food in it is one-sided.
The annual application of stable ma
nure only has put an excess of nj
trogen into the soil and in order to
make tubers on the potatoes there
must be an abundance of phosphoric
acid and potash, for the presence Of
potash in due amount is necessary to

where growth is being made or it is

A KANSAS BANKER MISSING
Citizens State Bank of Chautauqua
Closed After Cashier r. E.
Turner Disappears.

The morning of January 20 Kan
sas City bank expert arrived in Chau-
tauqua to examine the books of the
Citizens State Bank He found them
in an amazing jumble.
That night the cashier, Frank Err
nest Turner, % years old born and
reared in the community announced
he was going to Independence, Kas.
He went to Caney by motor car and
has not been seen or heard of since.
Monday and Tuesday, January 25
and 26, his wife and the bookkeeper,
a boy of II, continued the banking
business. The morning of the 9th a
notice was posted on the bank door
announcing that it was in the hands
of the state banking commission.
That was Chautauquas first inkling
of disaster that has struck hard at
every man, woman and child OF its
three hundred people. The deposits
were not guaranteed. But no word of
bitterness is spoken of the missing
cashier. The heaviest losers declare
it their belief that he did not profit.
Yet with the crash came the discov-
cry that Turner had done more. He
had disposed of forged securities,
chiefly chattel mortgages, in excess
of $4,000, through banks and mort
gage brokers, personally.
The bank is capitalized at $4,000.
Its last statement showed deposits OF
about $4,000 and loans and discounts
around $4,000. If it eventually pays
out on fifty cent on the dollar basis,
which is doubtful, the bank loss will
exceed $4,000, which must be borne
by the community. M. A. Thompson,
special deputy bank examiner, has
been at work on the books for week,
with expert help March l is the ear

DUMBA, THE MACEDONIAN.

Who is this DIR. Dumba who thus sets
himself to surpass the traditional record
of Austro-Hungarian stupidity? His
diplomatic career has been somewhat un-
fortunate. OF Macedonian origin, he ac-
quired his first experience in that tor
tuous school of diplomacy, the Austro-
Hungarian Legation at Belgrade. The
sort of work that the Ballplatz used to
demand of its representatives in the
Serbian capital has been made sufficient
Iy known to the world in a series of un-
savoury trials and scandals. There is
no reason for thinking that Dr. Dumba
was anything but an efficient pupil in
the arts that earned for Count Forgach
a European disrepute. But before he
could fully prove his worth his career
was cut short by domestic difficulties
that led to his temporary retirement
from active service. Eventually, how
ever, he was reinstated, and the COM
pleteness of his restoration to official
favour was shown when he was appoint
ed to succeed Baron Won Hengelmuller
as Ambassador to Washington. In the
American Capital his peculiar training
and talents found little scope until the
outbreak of the war. But the present
revelations prove that he has not been
idle. and that his energies have been
marked with the INSCRIPTIONS obtuseness
that is characteristic of Austro-Hun-
garian diplomacy. The Ballplatz can
always rely on the pliability of its
agents. The outside world can as con-
fidently count upon their stupidity. II
the Austro-Hungarian diplomatists were
a. clever as they are professionally un-
moral they would be formidable. As 1t
is, Dr. Dumba, with his serene assump-
tion that the methods and atmosphere
of Vienna are identical with those of
Washington. may be taken as a type of
his class. His blunderings have got him
and the American government may very
safely be trusted to deal with him as
he deserves. 1t is entirely their own
affair. and has no interest for any Of
the allied powers but that Of amuse-
ment and disgust. At the same time,
and whatever its outcome. the incident
can hardly be reckoned one that will
add to the good relations between the
United States and Germany or her ally.
To preserve these good relations has sud-
denly become an object Of policy with
both Berlin and vienna the Journals
IN both capitals are assiduously pro-
claiming that the Balkan situation calls
for the undivided attention of Austro-
German craftsmanship. and that all ex-
ternal complications should. IL possible,
be avoided. Many. subtle, and unex-
nected are the ramifications Of this war.
Hut II has led to no stranger develop

THE LOAN TO THE ALLIES.

The delegation of eminent London and
Paris financiers, lately arrived m this
country, appears to have proposed in
general a five-year loan at rate OF
something around per cent, guaranteed
by the French and English governments.
and payable, interest and principal. in
American currency. The sum under dis
cussion is very large; II has raised the
question whether an operation of the sort
is prudent, and who. after all. will buy
the bonds. The answer seems to be that
the American money market is in abso-
lutely plethoric condition. that our banks
are provided with available credits to
an almost unprecedented degree. and yet
that new issues of securities in the
United States. to banks or to private In
vestors, have been of extraordinarily
small volume during the twelvemonth
past. The question then. Is not so much
of ability to subscribe as of the value
Of the investment.
It is difficult to see how any serious
question can arise regarding this. since
the whole credit of the French republic
and of the British Empire stands behind
the bonds. The further question. as to
whether so large loan of capital by
our markets to France and England
would be a violation of neutrality. Is al
ready answered No valid objection to
the operation on that ground could exist.
As a matter of fact. not only was the
Russian government last winter permit
ted to raise substantial credit fund in
New York City for purchase Of war mu-
nitions. and not only did the French
government borrow for that and other
purposes in New York on its short-time
notes. but the German government IT.
self sold 100000 per cent notes on
the American market last spring, and
even went so far as to invite and re-
ceive subscriptions In the United States

THE SPIRIT OF rs,

Some four and fifty years ago
But life was precious then as now
Their fathers saw these greybeards
go,
Stout hearted lads. from forge and
plough,
To prove in many a bloody fight
The simple truth that right is right.
Their comrades fell: they fought and
died
Because it was their fathers way
To WELD the sword of truth and right
And not the tongue of yea and nay.
Their names adorn a deathless scroll
Who fought to save a nations soul.
What trumpet called them forth to
face
The wrath of the destroying guns?
What promise but the pride of race
That still informs these deathless
ones?
What payment but the right to take
The sword in hand for honor's sake?
But now-Oh. well, some years have
Since history turned that crimson
page.
1t might be better to disown
Our spiritual heritage,
And lay. like prudent souls, away
y virtue tHdI mas CcdScu " pdys
1t might be best to disavow
The faith they bought with blood
and fire:
This military glory, now,
Is not what our young men desire.
They were not raised to lead q life
OF unremunerative strife!
And though the treaties that we
signed
Be torn into a thousand shreds,
Better be cheerfully resigned
Than all be murdered in our beds.
Or face the horrible expense
Entailed by schemes of self-defense.
The deeds our fathers wrought Of
yore
Life on the page of history still.
But soldiers now are men of gore
who should be sweating in a mill.
And honor does not represent
A good return in cent per cent.
oh, greybeards. marching In the street.
The ancient glory in your eyes.
And roll of drums to guide your feet
Through the gold gates of Paradise.
A Bloodless era Is proclaimed:
Look not at us lest We be shamed!
