the purpose of improving the little
harbor, while on the shore had been
erected a rude hut for the storage Of
the workmen's tools. SO little was
there to fear from marauders in this
remote spot that there was not even

upon investigation, were some picks,
shovels and crowbars, a keg OF nails,

Following the directions given them
by the officer at the radio station,
they followed the precipitous footpath
which led from the landing up the
rocky slope to the plateau. Twenty
minutes OF stiff climbing brought
them to the shack where, 30 they had
been told. they would probably find
Fitzmaurice staying. The shack,
flimsy affair of rough lumber, hung
literally between sea and sky, for half
OF 1t rested on the rock, while the
other half. which was supported by a
framework OF light timbers, over
hung the ocean.
There being no response to his
knock, Mahlin, finding the door un.
locked, entered the cabin. Though
the single room which II contained
was vacant, the remains OF a meal on
the table and the rumpled blankets on
the bunk, which was built against the
wall, together with the odor OF tobac.

very recently occupied. Suddenly Sat

the room, gave an exclamation.

holding up two bulky, leather-bound
volumes.
Mahlin unceremoniously snatched
them from him.
You're right" he said. They're
the very books we're after"
He broke of abruptly and stood
listening.

Stepping to the door, he caught

the harbor where they had left their

appearance, turned and ran blindly In

The chase which followed led across

PUREBRED STOCK IN DEMAND
When Pork Market Is Low Is Best
Time for Buying Breeding Stock
Hogs Are Cheap Now.

When hogs are high there is a big
demand for purebred stock. Breeders
get more money because the pork
value of their hogs makes them indie
pendent of the cheap buyer and be-
cause the demand is sufficient to take
all their stock at good figures.
When hogs are low the demand for
purebred stock falls off, and breeders
are compelled to sell it for less than
when market hogs are commanding
good prices.
So when the pork market is low,
when the demand is least for breeding
stock, is the best time to invest in
purebred hogs. Just now hogs are
cheap and breeders have surplus for
sale at reasonable prices. And now is
the time to "go to 1t" and stock up
with purebred hogs.
Don't wait till everybody wants
them. Get them now and be ready
with a surplus of your own for the
time when everybody wants them.
That time will come as surely az
night follows day.

INCREASE FARM CROPS
Interesting Experiments in Crop
Rotation in Wisconsin.
Plan Outlined to Determine Value Of
Drainaee-Tiled Land Can Be
Worked Much Earlier in Spring
Best for Truck Crops.

A series of very interesting expert.
ments in crop rotation we're made sew
eral years ago in Wisconsin, to deter
mine the value of drainage. The fol-
lowing plan was adopted:
In the fall of 1910 field contain
ing little less than six acres was
tiled. The land for the most part
was very wet and in the natural con-
dition timothy hay would not grow
on the greater part of II. Hedges grew
on at least half of the field. Another
field of about the same area and pos
sessing about the same degree of nat
ural drainage, was used as check on
the tiled land. Exactly the same kind
of crops we're grown, and the same
treatment was given to the two fields
SO far as possible. Surface drains
were provided in both cases. This
land, both tiled and untitled, bad been
in meadow for ten or twelve years and
consequently was in a poor state OF
fertility. This was especially true OF
the higher and better-drained parts.
The. effect of draining was very
marked in 1911, due principally
to the fact that the tiled land could
be worked considerably earlier in the
spring. The differences ranged from
rs to 100 per cent in favor of the tiled
land. In 1912 the effect of thing was
not quite so marked. as the dry wealth
er Of that year permitted of better
drainage on the untitled land. The lat
erals were placed about seventy feet
apart and were not laid in regular or
der, but more in the order Of what is
sometimes called the natural sys-
TEN of thing. The depth varied from
is feet to 3.5 feet.
On this land a four-year rotation
was established as follows: Glover,

All Averse to Drugs.

II is the dictum of scientists that it
is better to suffer the worst torments
from pain and torture from sleepless-
ness than to resort to the allurements
and temporary soothing and lullabies
of drugs, for once the drug habit is
formed the victim is directly within
the grasp of the devil and damnation.
This is the testimony of all who have
submitted to the lure of opium, NOR
phine, choral, hashish, cocaine, heroin
and kindred drugs, which have so null
tiplied within the last few years as
to tell the whole story of the increase
of the habit, which may be accepted
in a large sense as indicative of the
increase OF insomnia and the condi-
tions that lead to insomnia.

tivated crops, one year; and small
grain seeded to clover, one year. The
results showed an increase in all
crops, the greatest increase, however,
being shown in the cultivated crops.
The average value in increase for the
cultivated crops was s14,07, and for
the grain crops 1884.
For raising truck crops on land
near a city it is especially desirable
to tile. This will apply to such crops
as potatoes, sweet corn, cabbage, rut-
abagas, strawberries and the like.
Where potatoes are raised, more than
half the cost of thing will be recov'
cred in one season.

$ HANDY W|ORKBAG
IDEAL HOUSEHOLD ARTICLE FOR
 THE BUSY MOTHER.
Will Save 'iuch Time and 10 by No Means Difficult to Construct or Expensive as to the Materials
 Required.

The most useful workbag for the housewife is that attached to a screen shape that has handle running along the top of it.
 These articles made up cost a good deal of money, but one can easily be made at home. If there should be an old one-piece fire screen at hand like that in the illustration, there is no difficulty whatever, and even if there is not, one can often be picked up for a few coppers at a secondhand store. Just little paint or enamel will make it like new again and excellent for this purpose.
 If there is panel in the screen, just take it out neatly, as only the frame work is required. If the wood needs renovating, do it before making the bag; stains and varnish can be bought combined and they are quite cheap. Simply brush on the frame and leave to dry.
 The size of bag will depend upon the size of the frame. It is a good idea to make it from some material that has been left over from covering the chairs, etc, then the workbag screen will not look out of place in any room, even when it is not in use
 The bag is just made from two pieces of material scanned together to about six inches from the top; make a heading along the top two sizes of the bag, and run piece of elasic through.
 Now secure the back of the workbag to the tcp bar of the screen; this can be done by using brass-headed draw ing pins. they are quite secure anu or namental.
 Then the front side of the bag is left free and open; the elastic prevents it
