Onions from Seed.

There is little danger of blowing
too deep for onions If the ground is
loose, friable and rich to about 10
inches or 1 foot in depth. Land that
was plowed in the fall can as a rule
be worked the soonest. 1t is very i'm
portant to SOW the seed, or get the
bulbs at the earliest possible date.
The ground must be kept free
from weeds. On a weedy piece of
land it is apt to cost more to keep
the patch clean than the crop is
worth. The young onion is a tiny
plant that is easily smothered with
weeds or destroyed by the formation
of crust on the soil that may form
after a rain. The young plants come
up slowly and do not start a quick
growth until the roots are well es-
tablished. This makes the crop
difficult to manage on weedy land, or
soil that bakes early in the season
before the plants have chance to
reach good size.
The great bulk of onions produced
in this country is grown from seed
sown in the open ground. The soil
should be narrowed and rendered fit
for growing the first day that it is
dry enough to use implements. The
seeds should be sown somewhat
thickly in drills 16 inches apart. The
rows should be straight, so that they
may be more readily followed in hoe
ing while the plants are very small.
About 4 pounds of seed will be re-
quired for an acre, which will need
twelve to fourteen seeds to the foot.
One-half to three-fourths of an inch
is the proper depth to sow in most
soils, but 1 inch is not too deep if
the ground is sandy or loose.
Work the plants as soon as possible
after sowing. Cultivation should be
frequent enough so weeds never get
start. Thinning the young plants
should be carefully done as soon as
the young plants are large enough
so the proper selections can be made,
and before they begin to crowd each
other in the row.

his only new privilege, and IL was
at lecture there after the services
that he had just seen for the first
time in the movies.
Pomeroy was an illiterate youth
when the steel gratings of his soli-
tary cell closed upon him 40 years
ago.
For SO yeras he was shut up so
closely no person except his guards
and his mother, who came once a
month, could see him.
In SO years he exchanged fewer
words with other human beings than
the average man would in a week
And yet, instead of going insane, in
stead of losing the last CLINT of his
intellect. Pomerop has actually
taught himself dozen foreign lam
guages, has read every one of the s.
coo books in the prison library. and
has developed his mind, all unaided,
to a point of unusual keeness.
Four years ago Pomeroy was re-
moved to a larger cell in a new part
OF the prison. Since then he has
been allowed to exercise daily for an
hour and a half in a sunny part of
the prison yard and to go to chapel
on Sundays.
But aside from these privileges
Pomeroy's condition today is what IL
has been for 40 years past. The SEN
tence of solitary confinement holds
good, and this historic convict may
talk to no one, see no one, and no
man outside of Charleston prison may
see him.

INVASION OF CANADA
Germans Had Planned to Send t2O,-
600 Men Into Country.

New York, April s0.-Count Max
Lamar Louden, at one time hunted
by the federal authorities as an al
legged German spy, in a statement to
the assistant district attorney to-day
outlined the details of a proposed in
vasion of Canada by a German army
recruited in the United States. The
count claims that 1t was his activity
in connection with raising this army
which aroused the suspicion of the
federal authorities and led to his be-
ing under surveillance for a long pc
riod by federal secret service agents.
1.-THE organization" said Count
Louden, "of this army was first dis
cussed in the fall of 1914. A prom
| inent German, who had formerly
been a high ranking official in the
German army, preached the subject
to me, and consented to do all in
my power to perform the plan.
1.-The object of raising the army
was to capture Canada in a night, as
it were, and stop the participation OF
Canadians in the war abroad by CIV
ing them enough to attend to at
home. The scheme had the backing
| of the German government and high
German officials in the United States
"a fund of S16,0O0,O00 was raised
in this country, subscribed by veal
thy Germans, and plans were perfect
ed for recruiting the army, which was
| to consist of 100000 men, made up
of German reservists and citizens of
Germany in this country who had not
renowned their allegiance to the
home country.
81 was selected as the chief leader
of the expedition and four men who
had received military training in Ger
many were picked out to act as gen.
erals of the army corps.
Recruiting offices were secretly
opened in all large cities in the coun-
try and the recruits rolled in so rap
idly that the success of the movement
appeared to be assured from the
start.
According to the plans arranged,
10000 men, fully equipped with a
regiment of sharpshooters were to
| be used in the actual invasion of Ca
NADIA and 10000 men were to be held
as a reserve force, to be used as
might be necessary, according to the
Developments.
at was arranged that the first
brigade would be gathered near New
York, the second brigade near Pitts
burgh and Buffalo, the third near
Philadelphia and the fourth near De-
troit and Milwaukee. Each brigade
had a commissioner of supplies and
equipment.

PRISONERS FIRST RESPITE
FROM SUNLESS SOLITUDE
(By Kenneth w. Payne)

NBy henueLn w. fdyneD
Boston, April 29.-Caged for near
ly half a century in a solitary sunless
cell of steel and stone. Jesse Pome-
roy, the worlds most notorious pris-
oner, has at last been allowed to get
glimpse of the outside world.
And the world has been revolu-
tionized since he was shut away from
it forever, as a 16 year old boy, in
1S76-40 years ago.
The sudden glimpse of the world
that Pomeroy has just had, however,
was not direct, but only through the
medium of the movies. This moral
monster, who was sentenced to soli-
tary confinement for life in the
Charleston prison, as punishment for
murder, with abhorrent cruelty of
two little playmates has kept intact
and keen his intellect, despite med
ieval form of punishment that made
raving maniacs of prisoners in the
dark ages.
He was able the other day to wit
ness intelligently the most marvel
Gus event that could happen to a man
to whom all modern science and in
vention had hitherto been a closed
book.
From Massachusetts, goaded by
the scathing remarks of her sister
states, where people said she was re-
verting to the barbarism of her
witchraft days in the punishment of
Pomeroy, word has just gone out
that the mysterious prisoner-vic-
tim of grim incarceration such as has
been inflicted upon no living man in
the civilized world today-was to
be granted new privileges.
He was to see the sun at last, speak
to people, even to go for rides in
automobiles which he had never seen.
l went to Boston hoping to hear
from Pomeroy's own lips his impress
sion after these extraordinary new ex-
periences, only to find that Pome-
roy's punishment in fact has not been
modified at all as reported.
Pomeroy is still Gagged in a sunless
cell. allowed to see or be seen by no
human being.

corner at chapel Sunday evening is

Squash Bugs.

The squash bug never lays its eggs
on the stem, unless by accident, but
the under side of the leaves. The
eggs are of a dark chestnut color,
globular in form, and exist in clus-
tiers. They may be found by turning
up the leaves, when the eggs may be
crushed. Another insect deposits its
eggs on the stem; this is the borer.
The larvae, as soon as Matched, eat
into the stem, and are then difficult
to dislodge. One of the most effec-
tual remedies against enemies of the
squash is a solution of saltpeter,
which is prepared by dissolving a
teaspoonful in a quart of water and
sprinkling it over the plant, though
sawdust, saturated with turpentine,
is also used on the ground around
each plant with success.

Chemical Fertilizers.

Strong chemical fertilizers should
not be given too lavishly to growing
plants. Nitrate of soda is good as a
source of nitrogen, but you cannot
grow plant in pure nitrade of soda,
acid phosphate and other actual food
substances; not even if they are
mixed with the most consumate skill.
Look at a clay soil; it is generally
regarded as a pretty poor one for
growing plants, bat it has more ac-
tual units of food in it than any other
sort of soil you can take, and it is
improved by throwing in the solid
grit of sand or the rubbish of ashes
from the furnace.

The Curse of Weeds.

It is for the conservation of mois-
ture that we keep up the cultivation
of the crops in the summer, but the
evaporation which can be checked by
this means is small when compared
with the amount of water taken up
from the soil by an ordinary growth
of weeds. We can hardly estimate

MOTHER FINDS HER
LONG LOST DAUGHTER

Through the efforts of the Louis
vile police department a mother and
daughter will soon be united, after a
separation of twenty years.
Twenty years ago Mrs. Sahar Fries
was a resident of Hicksville, o. She
had a daughter who was adopted by
a family at Sandusky, o., when she
was four years old. That was the last
Mrs. Fries ever heard of her. Recent
ly Mrs. Fries moved to Louisville, and
son after arriving here she decided
to enlist the aid of the local depart
ment in an effort to find her daught-
err.
The department wrote the Sandus-
ky police, giving them what facts
they had in the case, and asked them
to assist in finding the girl. This was
on April 23.
This morning Chief Lindsey re-
ceived letter from the Chief of Po-
lice of Sandusky, stating that they
had been successful in the search for
the girl. The letter stated she was
now Mrs. Clisty Struzinger, wife of a
wealthy resident of Sandusky. o.
Arrangements are now under way
between mother and daughter for a
reunion. Mrs. Fries was warm in her
praise of the Louisville police depart
ment for their aid to her.

sunaower Seed Production.

The production of sunflower seed
in Missouri in 1915 is estimated at
100000 pounds, from 5000 acres,
making an average yield of 450
pounds per acre. The wholesale price
was about 3 1-S cents per pound,
making the value per acre about SIS.
These estimates were made by the
feld agent of the Bureau of Crop Es-
Inmates, who comments as follows:
II am inclined to think that the
acreage planted exceeded this. but
the August storm damaged the crop
seriously, blew the plants down,
caused them to rot, and in some
cases the seed dropped out of the
head. Sometimes sunflowers were
planted on very sandy land in an
effort 10 find some crop to grow"

Extent of Irrigation.

When the last federal census was
taken more than 100000 acres of
land was irrigated in the United
States with water supplied by wells,
about three-fourths of which was
pumped the rest rising to the surface
by artesian pressure, says the United
States Geological Society. Since that
time progress has been made in the
recovery of underground water. At
first ground water irrigation was al
most wholly confined to a few re-
gions, such as Southern California,
the Pecos Valley, and the Arkansas
Valley, but now nearly all parts of
the West are being prospected for
ground water supplies. Owing to the
diversity in geologic conditions the
occurance of underground water
differs greatly from place to place.
Many of the desert valleys have large
and valuable supplies; but others
which appear no less promising to
the casual observer have little or no
underground water or only water
that is too deep to be probably
pumped or too alkaline to be used
for irrigation. The uncertainties at
tending ground water Developments

experienced settlers, and are provid

Raising Corn.

Making every hill contain at least
two stalks, and each stalk contain at
least one average-sized ear, is the sec
ret of successful corn raising. AS
soon as the corn is an inch high, re-
plant every hill that contains no
plants. While this may be a little
later than the first planting and some
may not get out of the way of frost,
1t will make good cattle feed if moth
ing more.

place for a woman and she has not
quite adjusted herslf to it as yet. She
is an alien creature in the world of
men and she has to steer a careful
course between the cliff of being over
feminine!
The two biggest "don'ts" for the
business woman are rather contra
dictory affairs. But they can easily
be reconciled by steering a neat and
efficient middle course. First let US
define our don'ts and then we can
easily enough figure out that middle
course.
Don't, as you value your own
womanhood, permit yourself to be-
come hard, aggressive, pushing per-
son who carries business methods
into social life. You don't have to
be any of these things in business in
order to succeed.
Hard aggressiveness is alien to all
the normal characteristics of real
woman's nature. Woman in business
is stifl woman. She thinks and acts
and works with the attributes of ma
ture that is not male or masculine in
any of its normal qualities.
The cleverest and most successful
business woman l know is the very
successful mother of three wonderful
children. On Sundays and half holt
days she finds her greatest joy in
sewing on frilly feminine things and
in concocting dainty feminine dishes.
On week days she in an efficient,
dignified, far-sighted business wom-
an. But she is not hard, nor strident,
nor masculine. And as a very great
compliment she took a mans surpris-
ed ejaculation: You talk just like
a woman!" Her reply showed her
sane, normal sense of proportion,
"Why shouldn't IL am a woman"
There is the first great don't. When
you go to business don't forget that
you are a woman.
And the next great don't lies at the
opposite extreme of the scale. Don't
force upon all the men with whom
you deal the consciousness that you
are-feminine, "the female of the
species"
In other words you have to think
nd nf NJ n In oil
to your natural feminine equipment,
but you do not have to force on men
the consciousness that you are a sex
creature.
Your mental equipment is femin-
inc. And in the business world you
are dealing with that feminine men
tai equipment. But the feminine
emotional equipment has no place in
the world of business.
Don't trade on your sex. Don't ex-
pect to get out of hard jobs because
you are the weaker vessel" Don't
expect to be fiirted with or catered
to because you are feminine, Don't
trade on your charm. II has no
place in the world of business.
Don't try to be the emotional COM
plement of men in the business
world.
These are the primary don'ts for
woman in business.-Beatrice Fair

HUGHES FAvoRs SALE OF WAR MUNITIONS

The Deutschland is back in our ports again and will
return to Germany with goods needed in the Fatherland
which American markets supply. This is the truest
possible test of the mpartality of President Wilson's
neutral policy The Germans as free to buy sup
plies here the allies and there will be no discrim-
nation or favoritism shown.
Hughes campaigners, of them professional Ger
man-American politicians, have been going among the
voters of German nativity ancestry and telling them
what Hughes would do for them if elected president He
would put embargo the shipment of munitions of
war to the allies, bring England to time for interfering
with mail and shipping and no longer interfere with
the unrestricted submarine warfare of Germany Of
course intelligent German-Amercan voters have looked
upon these promises of the Hughes campaign workers
with suspicion and dstrust but there Others not
well informed regarding American institutions and
ideals who have been inclined to support Hughes
special friend and ally of Germany.
Yesterday, however, questions from the audience
forced Mr. Hughes to state his position the European
clearly than ever before He declared that he
would put embargo on shipments Of munitions, and
would defend the right of American citizens to travel
abroad in peace and securtya complete endorsement Of
President Wilson's policy
This statement from Hughes will put lot of workers
who have been trying to herd the German Americans
into the Hughes camp out of business. They will not be
able to fool these people in face of his statement and
the further fear that Roosevets influence is likely to
force Hughes into with Germany at the first excuse
that is offered.

Hughes friends realize the nomi-

knowledge they are confronted with
appeals from every settlement along
the railroads which the candidate tray

The scheme decided ON and which
Hughes has been asked to follow is for
the candidate to carry out only his
present program of speeches during
four more days of stumping but to

Hughes was up early after leaving
Evansville at o clock today and did

him into sighting any audiences by

Here through Indiana, the strain is
particularly hard on his voice as out

no halls are big enough to take care of
the crowds he draws.
1t was Americanism, tariff and false
prosperity upon which Hughes planned
to make his appeal to Indiana voters
today, on the final day of his cam

he winds up his middle west stumping
with a mass meeting at Terre Haute
