Dn, FREQ. On. FRED,
Beyond this the authorities have con-
WINGED themselves that Mrs. Teiper was
not IN the motor when she was killed.
and, further. that she was already dead
when the bullet was fred into her head.
This second fact was brought forth by
medical examination Of the wound
which gave evidence that the revolver
was held close TO her head when II
was discharged.
But before that, according 10 Police
Surgeon Bowcrman. her skull had been
crushed IN with dcmoniac violence.
The FIRST OF the blows that were rained
upon her. he said. must have killed her.
The reasoning which led 20 the first
premise IS as clear as the doctors
statement The top of the machine was
up. for one thing, and the space be-
tween IL and the wOman's head was TOO
scant TO permit the vicious swing Of
the hammer, which sank into the bone
as into 80 much putty. Added 10 that.

MAINE ScH0OLBOYS ARE
 GETTING RECORD CROPS
Liberal Use of Plant Food Assists
 Them In Profitable Production.

Four hundred Maine schoolboys and girls have been growing potatoes. raiS ing hens. cultivating vegetable gardens and canning farm products under tha direction of the Maine extension de partment. During the year 1915. 25G boys were enrolled in thirty potato clubs. 13S girls in fifteen garden and canning clubs and S2 boys and girls in nine poultry clubs.
 That the work will he enlarged and more boys and girls enrolled during the coming year and that the results will be even greater. Is predicted. One boy in potato club raised 459 bushels of potatoes at cost of IT cents per bushel. He also wrote the best essay on potato growing. Through the keep ing of accurate records of their ope~a tions the boys and girls receive train ing in farm management also.
 With the farmers of tomorrow getting such good results and learning to produce such record breaking crops the prospects, for the farmers of tho New England states raising enough products for home consumption within the next decade are very bright Not only are the boys and girls clubs beat. ing their parents in production, but they are also stimulating their parents toward better farming methods and larger yields.
 The boys who take part in potato oi corn growing contests know that it take, large amounts of plant food in avail, able forms such as is contained in all fertilizers in order to raise large crops They know that they must feed the soil before the soil can feed the plants They know that they must put back into the soil when they take from the soil. By mastering these things they are well on the way to understanding the proper way to operate farm sue. cessfully.

MIDDLE WEST FARMERS
 DON'T KNOW NEW ENGLAND
They Imagine Land Too Poor to Raise
 Crops of Any Sort.

The real truth about the worn out" farms of New England Is generally unknown to the. farmers of the corn helt They have been led to believe that their farms are rich and that the farms through the east and New Eng land are depleted of their fertility If the average corn belt farmer were to take n trip through Massachusetts Connecticut. Rhode Island, Vermont or Maine he would be so surprised that it is questionable whether he would be lieye his own eyes.
 Farmers in New England who are good farmers are better than the av craze farmer or even the good farm CT of the middle west, and those who are 'poor" farmers are worse than the poor farmers of the corn belt With the nearness to markets the eastern farmers could and in many cases do have great advantage over the mid dle western farmers. All that is need ed is to proceed fntelligentIy to build up the soil. by better farming meth. ods. a greater diversification of crops and the supplying of available plant food to enrich the soils and make large yields of high quality possible.

My Darling BoyS-I am sure you are having most delightful time with dear Aunt Lizzie and Cousin Leonard and all It is lonesome here without you, but when l think of the small chances you would hare of play and the little, stuffy room you would have to sleep in this hot weather I am glad you can enjoy the wide, open country and the fresh air. Papa sends you a fine box of fireworks and hopes you will have a most glorious Fourth. We both send our best love to our dear boys, and also to Aunt Lizzie and Uncle Henry. Your affectionate
 MAMMA.
 Aunt Lizzie hardly knew whether to feel provoked or sorry. but her pity for. tue boys won. ....
 When dinner was ready Mark and LI!ke were invited down. and after q lecture by Aunt Lizzie they received their letter and the box. Their joy was mGre than they could contain. They shouted and danced and were eager>to commence firing at once. Aunt Lizzie required them first to promise that they would not go outside of the orchard and that they would be very careful. She also promised to ask Cousin Leon ard to help them with the pinwheels. rockets and candles in the evening.
 When Mark proposed to set off one Of the roman candles through the hole in the tailboard of wagon the fun began. Next Luke set off a roman can Gle through the hole.
 Then Mark proposed lighting one of tEe inwheels-unhappy thought. The stream of powder and smoke was turned squarely on Luke, and as Luke screamed Mark threw the wheel to tue floor. Let loose, it started lively chase around the wagon box It.made the Sharp boys hop. It found tie rest O. the pinwheels, the firecrackers, TO- man candles and rockets. In less time tEan it takes to tell it they were all doing their very best to celebrate the Fourth. The puff balls came out of tic candles faster than Luke and Mark could dodge them. The rockets went as far as they could and then kicked back a hissing, glowing stream Of Fourth of July The unused fire crackers kicked gayly. The pinwheels ran hurdle races.
 Mark and Luke? Well, they rubbed their legs and their hands and their faces. They jumped and howled; there Were sparks all over them, and their screams were terrific to hear.
 Cousin Leonard heard the cries and the very unusual firing and ran to the rescue. It required his lfyeliest ef- forts to yank them out of their fort and extinguish the sparks in their clothing.

ALLIES HAVE BEGUN
 A GENERAL DRIVE
Attack on All European Fronts
 Except In Balkans.

What looks like the beginning of the long promised general drive of the en- tente allies in Europe is apparently on.
 Breaking out with a terrific dash against the Austrian front, the Italians drove the Austrians back on front of more than fifteen miles. They recap tured many positions taken by the Aus trians in their recent drive. in the Tren' tino, including the row of strongly fortified works resting upon Asiago.
 At practically the same hour that the Italian rush began British artillery broke loose with a battering attack against German trenches from the La Bassee canal southward to the Somme,
 The activity along the northern end of the allied line and the adjoining sec. tors, held by the French, increased.
 Dispatches from Berlin reported that the Russians, instead of being disheart. ened by their temporary check in Vol hynia, are bringing immense numbers of reserves into action and have re newed their vigorous attempts td reach Kovel.

EXPLAINS BUILDING UP
 OF "W0RN OUT" .FARFES
United States Department of Acricul. ture Tells Methods Used Tn
 Broome County, N. Y.

The United States department of ag riculture reports the case of a run down" farm in Broome county. N. Y. that was brought back into productive ness with great profit in two years The land was bought by the present owner for S16.32 per acre and farmed by him through a tenant, who was able to make Il good living for himself and his family in addition to returning to his employer and landlord enough t0 pay 32 per cent on the investment in two years. ......
 The story of the building up of the soil with fertilizers, followed by gooi methods of tillage, rotation and the use of cover crops, the repairing of the buildings and the additions to the value of the land through eliminating weeds, brush and rubbish which had collected explains how any one can accomplish the same results by follow. ing the same general plan. The story may be had by writing the United States department of agriculture. Washington.

LESSON ON FERTILIZERS.
Farmer Must Accept Their Aid if tt'
 Would Be Prosperous.

Fertilizers are carriers of plant food i'll an available and concentrated form. They contain the three elements ol tion-nitrogen, usually referred to as ammonia; phosphorus, known to the buyer as available phosphoric acid. aud potassium, known as potash.
 Fertilizers are crop growers and are made to supply definite need. For thousands of years we have known that manure increases crop yields One hundred years ago chemists found the same plant food elements in other sub. stances, though in varying proportions, and that by various treatments arti6 cial manures could be produced That was the beginning of the fertilizer in. dustry, which has grown to the point that over 100000 tons are consumed in the United States alone each year.
 The big reason for the growth in the consumption of fertilizers Hes in the fact that fertilizers help grow crops increase yields and farm profits wher. ever properly used. Soils are fast he. ing robbed of their supply of available fertility-of ammonia, phosphoric acid and potash. Plants must be fed as well as animals. Fertilizers feed the plants. hasten maturity. improve quality ant increase yields. They make poot soils better and rich soils more fertile.
 There Is no mystery about the action of fertilizers in plant growth, Nitrogen or ammonia causes quick and vigorous growth of stalk or stem and makes for a quick starting crop. Available phos- phoiie acid helps fill the grain or fruit and hastens ripening. Potash strength. ems the stalk or straw and helps to plump and fill the grain and fruit
 To obtain the best results fertilizers containing varying amounts of the plant food ingredients should be fitted to the varying needs of crops and to malee up for the deficiencies of certain soils Hay is grown for the stalk and hence needs more of the ingredient which promotes stem and leaf growth and should have a fertilizer running high in ammonia. Corn is grown for the grain and needs fertilizer con taining more of the crop ripener and filler. phosphpric acid, than of the starter and stalk ttrengthener

Henry agreed that they could endure their nephews no longer. |, Of course both Uncle Henry and Aunt Lizzie were very busy. as is al- ways the case on q farm ill summer. So the letter was put off, and the city parents of Mark and Luke supposed the boys were reveling i'll outdoor life. Instead they were sad prisoners in the little bedroom off the garret.
 On the 2d of July there came an ex- press box and q letter for Masters Mark and Luke Sharp. The box con- tained eight packs of firecrackers, a lot of torpedoes and enough pinwheels, skyrockets, roman candles and othe:. interesting things to keep two patriot : boys busy all day and part of the night. Aunt Lizzie shut her lips tigIs hid the box away and went about her work.
 When the box was opened and Aunt Lizzie saw what was in it she quickly closed it, tossing the letter back into it unread.
 "There is no use talking" she said to herself, T cannot and will not tolerate such mischief and stupidity. They must go home" at...
 1t was 10 o'clock Fourth of July mor:ling before she ever thought of the letter again. Then she went and read it:

NO WAR BOND ISSUE.
United States Treasury Rich Enough
 to Stand Unusual Strain.

United States Treasury Rich Enough
 to Stand Unusual Strain.
 The treasury department has not given serious consideration to the pos sibility of issuing bonds to meet the ex- traordinary conditions of the Mexican situation.
 It was pointed out that there is about S15OOOO,OOO in the treasury general fund and that within the next week the income tax will be due, which probably will add at least $75,00O,000 to that amount and give the treasury enough to carry on the government, even with unusual outlays for military expense. for several weeks.
 Authorization already exists for the issue of more than $2OO,0OO,000 in Pan anna canal bonds to replenish the treas ury for amounts taken from general revenues to pay the canals construc- tion cost
 Such an issue in addition to the gen eral fund would give the government more than $4OO,OO0,OOO, enough to carry on war with Mexico for several months

SOIL IS BASIS OF LIFE.
Director Benson Also Says Kitchen Is Basis of Domestic Life.

The soil is the basis of life itself. The kitchen is the basis of organized domestic life. Whatever else we may believe with reference to the proper methods of handling school gardens. home gardens. club projects, contests and other activities for the develop ment of character and efficiency in the boys and girls of today we are all agreed that real home life as well as successful citizenship is very closely related to the soil and to mothers kitchen.-O.
