THE RAVEN"

Edgar Allan Poe, at college, incurs many debts and is sent home in dis grace. He is deeply in love with Vir- ginia, a girl who lives near his home and they are announcing their be- 'trothal to her mother when Poe's foS- ter father appears on the scene and denounces him for his conduct at school and orders him from the house.
 Poe marries the girl and tries to make living by writing, but he is poorly paid and they feel the pinch of poverty. His wife becomes ill and finally dies because Poe is unable to furnish her with even the bare neces- saries of life.
 He is plunged into great grief and despair. All night he sits breeding over his loss. Through his distorted imagination he sees the ominous rav- en enter his room to croak gloomy forebodings. There also the spirit of his wife visits him.
 Poe is torn by terrible doubts as to whether the ravens prophecies that he shall see his beloved "nevermore" or whether the spirits promise that he meet her in the elysian fields shall be fulfilled.
 Finally he himself is stricken by death and his spirit is waited to heights supernal, where he is re-unit- ed with the lost "Lenore."

The wedding is arranged but at the last moment the villain is exposed and proof is furnished that he has wife whom he has basely deserted. Ther all ends happily for the lovers.
 The Arkansas Gazette of Little Rock said of the performance:
 "The play evidently pleased the au. dience. The scenes are laid in New England. There is a villain of course who betrays girl into a secret mar. riage, then deserts her and under ar assumed name wooes another but is exposed and gets his deserts. The principal roles are in the hands of Miss Lillian DeArmond, Jack Vim son, Frank Whitcomb, Irene DeAr. mond and James Walker. There is good vaudeville between acts and the Song, "A Song of the Desert" sung by the leading man, Jack Vinson, who has an excellent voice, made great hit"

Usually some money is required to

are seldom great. and no money the

SEED POTATO TUBERS.
Il Pays to Select Them at Digging
Time.

Il Pays to Select Them at Digging
Time.
Ia. G. Tolaas, Minnesota station.l
1t pays to select next years seed po-
tato tubers from the field at digging
time better than to select them from
the bin next spring. Here are reasons
why seed selection is more easily TAX
en- care Of now than when the potatoes
are In the bin.
At digging time one can get good
idea as to the type and uniformity of
tubers produced under individual vines
which cannot be obtained after the
crop has been put in storage. Seed
should be selected only from vines pro-
ducing several uniform, average sized,
true to type tubers. Such selection
cannot be practiced when the seed is
selected out of the bin.
Tubers affected with scab, russell
scab, late blight rot. black leg rot and
brown ring discoloration due to wilt
should be discarded. To avoid the pos
sibility of getting tubers infected with
black leg rot or brown ring discolora-
tlOu Luc utlu DC thoAOu6hiy
spected before the vines have dried up.
Seed should not be kept from infected
plants. In fact, wilted plants. together
with what tubers may have been form
ed on them, ought to be destroyed.
Plants affected with leaf roll, curly
a., dwarf and mosaic should be destroyed
and no tubers saved from them. AL,
though these diseases do not cause any
visible injury on the tubers the use OF
infected seed will reduce the yield and
finally cause the potatoes to run out. .
A Handy Trough For narrowing Time
By securing piece Of galvanized
iron IS by % inches at the hardware
store. at cost Of not to exceed 20
cents, and a piece Of board by 6 inches
and FIVE feet long trough can be
made that will prove very convenient

Making the Little
Farm Pay
BY c. c. BOWSfIELD

A high rate of profit in turkey rails
ing is among the reasonable certainties
for small farmers. Experts say that
the outlook for this industry is greatly
improved. Prices are high, and risk
and labor are not unreasonable, consid-
ering profits.
One Of the reasons for predicting sue.
cess in turkey raising is that the dis.
ease known as blackhead has been
brought under control throughout q
large part Of the United States. II

ADVISES FALL FLOWING.

4 Flowing in the fall for next Z
+ springs crops should be encour- !
+ aged in most cases because it
+ distributes labor more evenly
+ throughout the year, favors ear
4 lier seeding, improves soil struc-
+ ture and kills many insects, says
+ f. A. Welton of the Ohio expert
+ ment station. Only on soils sub
+ ject to washing. on fine clay soils
+ and where catch crops are seed
+ ed in the fall is this practice not
+ recommended.
+ Usually there Is a rush at
4 spring planting time. Farm Ia
+ Dor can be used to advantage in
+ the fall when work is slack.
+ Thus crops can be seeded earlier
+ next spring. At the Ohio expert

+ made a difference Of twenty
+ four bushels in yield as an av-

+ Freezing and thawing during
