Western Heiress Intends to Take
Leap Year Privilege Seriously.

Before long Miss Fredonia Berg
son, of Altoona, this State, who is 10
inherit her fathers 100000 ranch
and other property, will have exer-
cised her leap year privilege and
chosen her husband. She made
known her intention at party which
she gave at her fathers home.
Miss Bergson assured her guests
that she intends to enter upon her
search for a husband with the utmost
sincerity. Hitherto she has respect
ed the wishes of her father, Peter
Bergson, that she form no sentiment
al attachments until she had COM
pIeted her 18th year, and, though
she has had many suitors, Miss Berg
son has shown none of them speclal
favor.
She became 18 years of age re-
Gently, and her announcement her
friends say, is quite in keeping with
her determination Of character.
.The leap year privilege is usually
regarded as a JEST Miss Bergson
said. 81 intend to make it a fact.
There is no reason why a young wo-
man should not propose when she
sees a man who she believes would
make her happy.
.tThere will be nothing sly about
my method, none of those tricks that
are supposed to be so dear to the
feminine heart.
'tWhen I find the man l want l

not care to accept my heart. He will
have the same privilege to reject

Shortage of Coal in South American
Countries.

Requests for all kinds of goods
from every part of the world continue
to come to me- Owing to our lack of
vessels, however, it is impossible to
get the goods to the overseas mar
kets. This fact was brought home to
me by a cable from one of the largest
merchants in Buenos Aires, asking
my aid in getting $4,000 tons of coal.
England, Belgium and Australia
supplied South America with coal be-
fore the war. Today the scarcity of
vessels and the high freight rates
asked by the few ships for charter
make the price of coal almost pro-
hibitive. To add further to the COM
plications of the coal merchant, Great
Britain has prohibited her subjects
from supplying Germany, Austria
Hungary or Turkey, or any of their
subjects, no matter where located,
with goods of any description. The
electric cars and the subway service
of Buenos Aires, a city of over 1,7OO,-
900 people, are owned and operated
by Germans. Owing to the war, the
reserve stock of coal has been almost
exhausted. Unless they can get coal
soon from the United States, this city
will be without light, heat or power
and it's entire transpt. rtation service
absolutely crippled.
Investigation develc ped that there
is plenty of coal to be had here at
reasonable prices, but practically no
ships to carry it to it's destination. l
was obliged to advise my Buenos
Aires correspondent that New York
could not furnish the coal.

and food for hogs. We have not on
ly reduced the cost of raising COT
ton, but have made it possible to
save much of the money we have re-
ceived from the sale of the cotton
crop, and are sure to prosper to a
greater degree as we have under
stood and undertaken Investigation
Many farmers get the idea that cut
ting the cotton acreage cuts the yield
of cotton. This is not necessarily
so. In fact, we do not raise too
much cotton. We only raise it at
too great cost per pound. If far
mer is honest with himself and with
his land and crop, he will keep his
cotton worked out. 1t costs twice as
much to cultivate two acres as it
does to cultivate one, and when he
increases the yield it reduces the cost
of cultivation as we'll as it leaves
land free to be used for other pur-
poses.
It will become more and more
necessary to plant early maturing va
rieties, as the boil weevil makes it's
advances eastward, and we must
plant such varieties and try to make
them earlier than they are. We must
select the earliest maturing plants
from the early varieties, and in this
way make them mature as varieties
a few days earlier than they do now.
This will help to overcome the raw
ages of the weevil. It will also be
necessary to take other precautions
against the weevil. Old stalks must
be run over with cutter and plowed
under as early in the fall as possible.
This will help to kill the crop of
weevils and is good farm practice
anyway. Farmers should not become
discouraged and sell their lands be-
cause the weevil has put in his appear
ance. This is suicidal policy. Hold to
your land and plant other things,
enough to keep the wolf from the
door, and try two or three early va
rieties of cotton, and you will find
that it will prove possible to thrive
in the presence of the weevil, and
will soon become familiar with his
intrigues and will be able to meet
him on the square.-R. J. H. De-
Loach, director of the Georgia eX
pertinent station, in the Southern Ru-
ralist.

" "ALMA' TO SAY VALE
 TOMORROW EVENING

Only three more opportunities re- main for the theatergoers of New Britain to see the funniest farce ever offered at the Russwin Lyceum, Al ma, Where Do You Live?' this weeks offering by the Lyceum Musical Stock company.
 It can be said without any fear of dispute that New Britain has never laughed so much in the history of the city as it has this week. If laughter means health, the physicians will soon be forced to economize on the use of gasoline and the health department will be forced to close up shop.
 The attendance at the Lyceum has been increasing steadily, proving that the people of New Britain appreciate efforts made to give them clean, sub stantial entertainment. Miss Georgia Campbell is at her best this week as Alma" and George Bogues, as the country boy, also demonstrates his histrOnic talent to good advantage. It is a show that should not be missed under any considerations.
 For next week Director Adrian Per rim has selected "The Red Widow," another musical comedy that has nev- CT been presented in this city. The recent announcement that w. w. Hanna had takn over the majority in- terest in the company was premature and it is now announced that Mir. Hanna has withdrawn from the deal.

HART CONTINUES
 TO MAKE BIG HIT

William $. Hart is given more than ties to display his athletic prowess in "The Return of Draw Egan." the Triangle Kay-Bee feature which will be seen at Fox's today and tomorrow. Perhaps the most unusual stunt this notable actor performs during the ac- tion Of this play is that of picking up q handkerchief from the ground while astride the back of a horse. The scene is not "padding'-i. e. it was not made simply for the purpose of glv- ing Hart a. chance to play to the gallery''-but it is actually material to the story, for it serves to esta ablsh the admiration and gallentry which he; as a"reformed bandit, shows tow ard the girl that has come into his life. Hart, it is said did not even rehearse the stunt, so adept is he at fcats of this nature, but merely rOde up to the camera, where MargerY Will son. who plays the girl. was stand'nS and recovered the handkerchief. An other thrill In the picture is that o1 a hand-to-hand struggle staged be- tween w. s. Hart and Leo Willis. one of Inceville's strongest men. Ihese two men have fought many battles for tho screen since Ince began making Hart features, but this, it is said, is bv far the most sensational The light lasts for several minutes between the two and then develops into free-for- all melee. This feature remarks the return of Hart to the bad-man role (which gained him his World-Wlde ; fame.

IRWIN'S BIG SHOW
 A DRAWING CARD

The Fred Irwin show at the Grand theater this week is better than the average This show has proved a drawing card in other cities and it is doing business at the Grand. The comedy interest is sustained from start to finish. A woman who has a mar riagea ble daughter and who believes she has a chance to marry the daugh- ter off to a prince is wonderfully fooled, and the climax works the mer- rf1lient up to a high pitch Every fun opportunity is made the most of by the two comedians Emmet Guilfoyle and Joe Roland. The scenic envir- onment is attractive, with a roof gar den setting for the first act and five scenes in the second act, all of which are Oriental and Hawaiian in atnoos- phere.

Losing Things

Is there anything in the world more cxasperating than to drop some little thing, a thimble, @ dime or the clas- sic collar button, stoop to recover it, and find it ineXplicably vanished?
 Usually, of course, the disappear ance is temporary. After doing sacri flee to the evil spirit of inanimate objects by getting down on your hands and knees, wriggling about on your stomach and pumping your head against the table, you find the lost article hiding under the corner of the rug or cleverly playing peek-a-boo from behind a chair leg.
 Some Things Never Did Reappcar.
 But I remernber darkly, that there have been Ocasions when some small article never did reappear. How do l
 account for it? I don't. Some things, even in this day and generation, can not be explained. For which I'm not altogether sorry. Are you?
 Someone has a very clever essay about the general cussedness of in animate objects, such as the affiitH 1 of chair rockers for ankles, and this l same develsh ingenuity of small ob- 1 jccts about secreting themselves.

He welcomed Roy N1colls offers of motor rides and country dinners with what cordiality he could muster, hoping they would stimulate and rest Janet. Sometim es he went along himself. But oftener he declined, as he had done tonight, for fear Janet might think he did not trust them
 NOW he resolved upon firmness. MY dearest" he said in a low voiced earnestness, you shall tell Iemplc tomorrow that you're in absO- lute need of rest. You must have a vacation or you'll be desperately ill. 1 can see the signs. Your nerves are writhing"
 'Oh Walt! If you only wouldn't bother! Every one gets atrealzs of sioeplessness," walled Janet irritably.
 lts the easiest thing on earth for a woman to talk herself into thinking she's ill. They love to think of them selves as delicate nervous organism that demands special treatment and expensive indulgence. I tell you I won't be one of those women, Walt Just dont take any notice of my being out of sorts and it will pass away. l refuse to be d hypochondriac " ork IS good for every one" ..
 Walt persisted. Janet secuted his suggestions and soon became so wrought up that sleep was effectually Killed for both of them that night.

Never in her life had she fainted before and she was mortified beyond words. Walt was almost glad. When they reached home he asked: Are you convinced now that you must take a rest?'
 NO. It was the bad air in that restaurant" said Janet stubbornly
 Walt went straight to the tele- phone and called his doctor
 'Janet,' he said, returning, and speaking in such an arbitrary tone that his wife looked up frightened, 'Dr. Marsh is coming to see YOU. You will see him now-well talk about your rights later!'
