Tale of Two Fowls

Ma duck she lays bigger egg,
than the helpful hen can lay, but
when she's through she cackles not,
but simply walks away. And so we
scorn the silent duck-but the help
full hen, we prize-which is only an
other way to say that it pays to adj
vertise.

1t is help to soak all hard seeds,
such as sweet peas, nasturtiums, bal
sans, moonfiower, etc, at least twelve
hours and to file especially large seeds,
such as Gamma and moonfiower. This
is done by rubbing the sharpest end
Tor any part away from the germ over
file. just enough to have the white
show. Filing must be done before
soaking. Sweet peas may be soaked
three or four days.
Another way TO hurry coarse, slow
to terminate seeds is TO force between
canton flannel. Take double pieces of
canton flannel, wet thoroughly, place
seeds between them and put In a
warm place. Keep cloths moist all the
time, and seeds will sprout in from one
to three days. Transfer carefully to
the ground with the root sprout down.

BURGLARS BREAK INTO
PLACES BUT FIND LITTLE

prove overly profitable.
Obviously OF patriotic turn of

stole several boxes OF fireworks. De-
tectives recovered part Of the stolen
property in an alley back of the
building.
The home of r. A. Patton, 26i0

CATHOLIC ACADEMY AT
ST. JOSEPH IS CLOSED

St Joseph. No. May 16.--Orders
TO close the Academy Of the Sacred
Heart of st. Joseph were received
here today from the headquarters OF
that organization in Rome. The acad-
emy was established here sixty-three
years ago. There are thirty-five
nuns attached to the institution, the
majority Of whom probably will be
transferred to Omaha.
The mother superior AZ Sacred
Heart academy in this city said the
report that the nuns from the house
in st. Joseph, soon 10 be closed,
would come TO Omaha was untrue, so
far as she knew. II was probable, she
said. that they would be distributed
among different houses. The matter
could not be decided before summer
because the school is not yet closed
There will remain one other Catholic
school in st. Joseph after this one i
closed, she said.

LOAN SHARK LAW
WORKS NICELY HERE
Suit Against Youth, Who Borrowed
an x, Dropped When Justice
Claiburne Just Hints.
cox COMPANY HOLDS NOTE

Somewhere in Omaha young
man named Jack Branson is chuck
ling over the wisdom of the law
makers in Lincoln who at a recent
session Of the legislature passed a
stringent loan shark" law. He is
also contemplating with some salts
faction the fact that he will not be
forced to return in a hurry ten iron
men he borrowed not long ago IN
a pressing emergency"
Justice Fl, II Claiborne tells OF
the affair as follows, mentioning the
fact that the case in point is the first
started since the new legislation was
enacted
Young Bronson borrowed $40 OF
the Cox company in the Paxton

same TO be paid within a certain
time. He failed to settle as agreed
and the Cox company brought suit.

defend him, In filing my answer
70 the suit | mentioned the fact that
the company appeared to have neg
leeted to take out a license and also
touched on the fact that. with ali
possible allowances, the amount
charged on $40 could not have been
more than 80 cents.
Il showed that more than that
would be usury and pointed out the
provision in the law that any viola,
tor would be subject 70 a fine oI
at least SIS, with hint OF imprison
| ment.
That was several days ago. This
morning Z. Leslie Hyde, counsel for
the company, came in and tore uT
