Chairman Republican, State Central Com.
1t is more than probable that Chair
man TAFT will keep headquarters open
during year, so as to be in touch with
the county leaders at all times. He
wants to be prepared when the next
state campaign opens and not be oblig-
ed as heretofore to effect reorganiza-
ton. 1t is also desirable that he be
kept informed of internal conditions,
with the view of preventing possible
differences from reaching the acute
stage. Besides he will renderssuch as
sistance as Mr.. Duer may require to
perfect his case when the contest is
taken up by the House of Representa-
tives.
AT this time there are no discussions
anywhere. Differences existing prior
to the election have been adjusted and
the party machinery in the counties, as
well as in Baltimore. is moving smooth
ly. If this condition remains undisturb.
ed the Republicans will be in much
better shape next fall than their op-
ponents. They have jumped their vote
in the state from less than $4,000 to
$4,000, a substantial gain. This esti-
mate is based on the vote cast for Mr..
Weller last year and that for the con-
gressional candidates this year. 1t is a
healthy increase and there is no reason
why it cannot be improved upon,
especially since the Democrats are
thoroughly disorganized.
As a result of this the Republicans
will not have any trouble in the fall
primaries when state committee Is to
be chosen. There will be no such con-
test as is now being staged by the Dem
ocrats. So far as known. the Republi-
can leaders are not contemplating any
changes in the makeup of their com
mittee.
Party managers on both sides are
now engaged in preparing their financial
reports. These must be submitted
within thirty days. Considerable work
is attached to their preparation.

SPEEDWAY RACES
UniOntOwn Events to Include
Fastest Drivers in the Country.

Forty-two hundred and fifty dollars
in gold, $4,000 solid silver cup, known
as the Universal Film Trophy, a $500
trophy offered by W. ID. Johnston,
president of the American Lumber and
Manufacturing Company, and other
prizes form the bait that lures the
greatest of worlds racing drivers to
the Uniontown Speedway's opening on
Thanksgiving Day, November 80. The
new mile banked board track will be
opened with 100 lap race, distance 112
miles. and the speed developed should
more than astonish the spectators, for
never before has this locality seen such
high speed made by racing automobiles.
Within a short distance of completion,
the new track promises to be the
speediest of its sort in the country, and
there is little doubt but that the world S
records will be smashed for numerous
intermediate distances during the race.
With such noteworthy stars in the list
as Ralph De Palma. the greatest racing
driver Italy ever produced-he who has
been mile track champion, road cham
pion, and speedway Kingdom De
Palma, his brother, Hughie Hughes and
others the meets success seems assur-
ed. Frank Calvin, the famous bicycle
champion, Charlie Devlin, the Kansas
City millionaire driver, Dave Lewis and
others, will undoubtedly show speed of
about 106 miles an hour in competition
while Lord" Eughie Hughes in the
l2- cylinder English Sunbeam, will
probably hand up records in exhibition
trials far in excess of 112 miles an hour.
Never before in town the population
of Uniontown have so many star drivers
and such fast cars been gathered to-

MAKE YOUR GARDEN
PLANS IN Title
Save Time And Energy BY Having
Long Rows And Proper
Placing.
E. T. STODDARD.


MARY lduQ ASIlCUlJQfdl OOlleSe.
Long before the time Of seed plant
ing, the size of the plot should be Sc
cured and plan of the garden drawn
to scale. This will enable the grower
to figure out just how many rows of
vegetables he can have, and also just
where each vegetable will be planted
Then when planting time comes, tie
work can proceed without further dill.
Guilty. An architect always draws a
plan before he builds a house. Is il
not just as important for the gardener
to plan his work beforehand? The
exact plan Of the garden will depend
upon the personal tastes of the owner
and will be different for each indiyid
ual.
Whatever the size of the garden may
be, it should be oblong in shape, that
is about twice as long as it is wide
In the farmers garden, paintings are
made in long rows, wide apart, to per
NIT of horse tillage as much as is
possible. Here every effort should be
made to reduce hand labor to the
minimum, for time is more expensive
to the farmer than space. The main
effort should be to produce the best
yields with minimum expenditure of
labor, regardless of the space required
Twenty long rows require less turning
of the horse at the ends than thirty.
five short ones and this means time
and energy saved. Time and confu.
sion will be saved if vegetables are
grouped according to their cultural
requirements. For example, a row
containing parsnips and satisfy, OF
parsnips, late carrots and satisfy
would make a good combination. But
a row containing parsnips, cabbage
and spinach would be a faulty com
bination. 1t would be well to place
the root crops together; the cabbage
crops in the next space and tomatoes
peppers, etc, in another space. Many
men deem it advisable to run the rows
north and south when possible A tall
crop like corn should not shade a low
/ growing crop which requires great
deal of sunshine. All perennials such
| as asparagus, rhubarb, and horse-radish
should be planted along the outside OF
the garden where they will not inter
fere with the preparation of the land
for the annual crops.
Some gardeners begin to plant the
earliest vegetables at one side and
proceed across the garden as the sea
son advances. This makes it easier
to harrow the implanted portion al
any time desired and thus keep it free
from weeds and in a moist friable con
dition. Other desirable features OF
this plan are; all similar crops in any
row require the same amount and kind
Of tillage; crops occupying the land
about the same length of time may be
planted together; after early maturing
crops are harvested it is possible tc
prepare strip of land to plant late
vegetables, if desired.

THE SUPPLANTER
BY n. M. EGBERT.

Marie Renfrew had thought she was
a boy until she was nine years old.
Then she learned the truth about her
fathers obsession.
Ten years before Andrew Renfrew,
tired of the struggle for life in the
cities of eastern Canada, HAD taken
? IS wife and household goods and
evloved to the north of Saskatchewan.
There he had become a trapper.
They lived entirely alone in the
wilderness. Their little sod cabin held
a good deal of happiness, none the
less. Both were satisfied, the woman,
because she loved her husband, the
man, because some primitive strain
in him came out and answered to the
call of the far North. Besides, there
was Marie, their only child
Then Maggie Renfrew closed her
eyes for ever upon the earthly scene,
leaving the desolate man alone with
the child. And because he had always
longed for son, he brought her up
as a boy,
Her only companions were the In
dams who came, rarely enough, to
the little place to offer furs-for An
drew had started a small trading post
now that he was getting too weak to
trap. Once in a great while, too,
some officer of the police would off
saddle at the little cabin for a day or
so and bring news of the outside
world.
You ought to send that girl South
to school," said Robert MacFarlane,
the second time he came, looking at

Crimson clover seed loses its vital
ity very rapidly SO that seed which
is two years old is worthless. When
buying, therefore, seed of guaranteed
termination should be purchased
First class crimson clover seed weighs
90 pounds to the bushel.

oculation, is quite common, even

Marie, who, now sixteen, still dressed
in boys furs, and wore her short
cropped, flaxen hair about her ears.
Old Andrew thumped his fist upon
the table.
I've brought her up as boy" he
said. She's been a son to me- That's
enough. I'm not open to argument"
MacFarlane thought it a shame He
began to pass that way more often.
Each time it was clearer that An
drew could not live very long. He
had meant to breach the subject again,
but when he came for the fourth time,
Marie being now nearly eighteen, to
his surprise it was the old trapper
who brought up the matter
Il haven't long to live, Robert" he
said. I've been thinking over what
you said to me, and-I guess you're
right, Bob. But she don't need no
schooling, Books she's had a-plenty
l guess she could hold her own with
any of them SO far as schooling's con
cerned. But what'u come to her af.
ter I'm gomez"
You ought to take her South" said
MacFarlane.
She wouldn't want to go South"
answered the old man. 1T may be |
made mistake in bringing her up in
the wilds. But it's become nature now,
and it's her life. Bob, want to get
her married to a good man. You're
only forty, Bob You never married.
What would you think of Marie for
wife,"
AS he finished speaking the girl
came. She was dressed as a woman
now, and she blushed shyly when Bob
looked at her. The officer had never
thought of her in that way. His heart
leaped.
Think it over, Bob said old An.
drew when they parted. There's
plenty Of time. Let me know when
you come back next year. l won't be
dead by then"
When he had gone Andrew asked
Marie:
How would you like to marry
iBob?"
The girl looked at him drearily. 81
never thought of marrying, father"
she answered.
But you won't always have me,
child" he answered, as gently as he
could. And you can't live alone
here
She began to cry, and Andrew said
I no more. But the next day she came
to him and consented.
The following spring Bob came back.
With him was young man of TWEEN
tytwo, whom he introduced to the
old trapper. He did not think IL
necessary to introduce him to Marie.
This is Mr. Milvaine, an English.
man." he said. HE takes the fac.
tors place at the Fort next month.

Old Andrew grunted and nodded.

LIME VALUABLE IN FREEING
POTASH IN THE SOIL.

Maryland Agricultural College.

Maryland ASrlcuIturaI College.
Lime has not only the effect of aid
ing in the formation Of unions of pot
ash which will be held in the soil, but
1t also has the ability to liberate pot
ash from combinations which are
locked up and unavailable to plants.
This is particularly marked when lime
is applied to land containing frag-
ments of feld-spRr Gypsum is par
ticularly useful in rendering potash
available, and the sulphate of lime in
dissolved phosphates often have an
indirect value in this way.

Southern VIII Arrange Special
Train.

Washington, D. c., Sept. l0-Ar-
rangements have been made by the
Southern Railway to run a special
train carrying dairy farmers and
others interested in the building up
of the dairy interests in the South
to the National Dairy Show to be
held October 1921 at Springfield,
Mass, at which the Southern will
have7an extensive exhibit giving a
fullspresentation of the South as a
dairy section at the present time,
and as a region for the future devel-
opment of the dairy industry.
The idea of the special train from
theISouth to the dairy show, which
| is held in the East for the first time
this year, is to give Southern dairy
farmers an opportunity to see how
the anstry iszconduetedi inesthe
North, and to widen their outlook
by bringing them in contact with
,, successful dairy farmers and dairy
workers from all parts of the corn-
try, while a general attendance at
the dairy show On the part Of South
ern dairymen is expected to do a
great deal to educate the people Of
the North as to the advantages of
the South for the industry.
Pullman cars will be started from
central points in each State, and
will be made into a solid train into
New York and to Springfield. The
special will start probably on Thurs
day, October II, reaching New
York on Saturday, October IA.
Already nearly a hundred dairy
farmers located from Virginia to
Mississippi have indicated their in
tention to become members of the
party. New England people have
contributed S65o,00O for the erec-
tion of buildings at the show and
more than one thousand pure blood
dairy cattle of the various breeds
will be on exhibit, besides a COM
prehensive collection of the most
approved implements and machinery
used in connection with the dairy
Industry.
In connection with the trip, ar
rangements are also being made for
stop-overs and side trips to allow
the Southern dairymen who go to
visit the most interesting milk-pro-
ducing centers of the East, including
the pasturizing and distributing
plants at New York, the railroad
warehouses in Jersey City, where
over two million quarts of milk are
shipped daily to New York by spe.
cial trains, the Mixter farm, an
hours ride from Springfield, famous
for the breeding of pure-bred Guern-
sey cattle, and Washington, where
the party will visit the United States
Department of Agriculture and the
Bureau of Animal Industry.

Two Negroes Dead, Three in

Saturday afternoon about FIVE
miles north of Edgefeld the ne.
groes of the community held Sun
day school picnic. 1t appears how
ever that the Ruler of the Lower
Regions directed the affairs of the
occasion. In a shooting scrape, in
which about 30 shots were fired,
two negroes, Lewis Owens and Bet
tis Brooks, were killed, shooting
each other to death. The grievance
was an old one and had its origin
in improper attentions shown
Brooks wife sby the Owens negro.
The sympathy Of the community is
with Brooks and his friends. In ad-
dition to these two men being shot
to death, Will Adams was wounded
in the arm and woman who was
sitting in a buggy near by was also
slightly injured. Sheriff Swearingen
went at once TO the scene and arrest
ed Will Adams, aPaul Owens, Jr.,
Ulis Owens and brought them to
Jail. A characterless woman, to-
gether with some mean liquor, was
the cause of the trouble.
