CHAPTER lIl--continued.

"Not on your life," said Carol
promptly and emphatically; "he's worse
than Prudence. Like as not he'd give
me a good thrashing into the bargain.
No-Pm strong for Prudence when 1t
comes to punishment-in preference
to father, mean. l can't seem to be
fond of any kind of punishment from
anybody"
For q while Carol was much de-
pressed, but by nature she was buoy
ant soul, and her spirits were presently
soaring again.
In the meantime, the Ladies Of the
Aid society continued to arrive. Pru-
dence and Fairy, freshly gowned and
smiling received them with cor
diality and many merry words. 1t was
not difficult for them; they had been
reared In the hospitable atmosphere of
Methodist parsonages, where, If you
have but two dishes Of oatmeal, the
outsider is welcome to one. That Is
Carols description of parsonage life.
But Prudence was concerned to OBJ
serve that Dig easy chair placed well
back In secluded corner, seemed to
be giving dissatisfaction. It was Mrs.
Adams who sat there first. She
squirmed quite little, and seemed to
be gripping the arms OF the chair with
unnecessary fervor. Presently she

Mr.. Starr, a wldower Method

to the congregation at Mount
Mark, Iowa. He and his daugh-
ter Prudence-she is nineteen
and the eldest of five girls
have come on ahead to get the
new parsonage ready for the
younger members Of the family.
The whole town, especially the
Methodist element, Is very curl

dividuaIly members OF the
church call at the parsonage and
"pump" the girls for all they're
worth. But the Stars soon ad-

Washington, Nov. 10.-The rail-
roads are now moving what promises
to be the biggest potato crop in the

been on the way since the middle Of
September. The movement Of 1t will
continue until about April 1st next

!. VELVET BEANS. !.


.
There are three methods OF har-
vesting velvet beans where planted
with corn as companion crop:
/. The corn stalk, bean and vine
cut and shocked. This is very good
method where shredder Is available.
2. Pull corn and pick the beans
as You would peas. A good hand
can pick from 400 to 600 pounds per
day. The beans will remain on the
corn stalks until Christmas without
damaging.
3. Gather corn, then turn stock
into field to gather beans. The farm
ers in the sandy sections use this
method almost entirely. Clay lands
are injured If pastured while wet.
Farmers in all parts Of the county
are feeding velvet beans to hogs,
horses and cattle. The following is

 WASHINGTON, Feb. Tt was ad- mitted today at the German embassy that the imperial government decid- ed upon the plan of ruthless warfare by sea immediately after the entente allies refused Germany's tentative of- fer of peace. This plan was at once made known to the United States government which requested that the plan be held in abeyance until fur there peace negotiations were at tempted. The German embassy con- ceded that it was the expectation of Germany that the United States would bring greater pressure to bear on .he allies than was the case.
 It was also admitted today that a sec ond note to the United States was prepared two weeks ago but it was no. handed to Secretary Lansing until

 The embassy attache who some weeks ago gave information to the International News Service that Ger. many would undertake such a meth cd of war as is now announced and virtually defy the world, stated cynl- cally today that there should be no surprise in American because Ger. many Is carrying out her plan. He said that the United States had tho or oTportunity to compel the allies to ccne to terms on the German peace proposals but failed to bring any strong pressure to bear.
 Now, says the attache. the world will find out what horrors the allies' refusal of the peace offer will bring to all nations. Whatever shall hap pen will be caused entirely by the s'ubbornness of the allies. Germany mus; defend herself against her foes and will do so to the last extremity. If she must fight the world she Is prepared to do so until the world knows 1t is trying to conquer an un- corQuerable nation

It differed somewhat in detail, 1t Is conceded, but carried the same warning. h effect 1t declared Germany, regardless of pledges to this government, would answer the allies aefusal of peace with ruthless war. The only loophole allowed the United States and other neutrals to save their national pride was that in the last note 1t was offered that a lane be left open to Falmouth, England, for the passage of ships of American and neutral register which did not carry con .raband of war. This clause 1t was confessed was only a technical con- ccssloa 10 the right of neutrals to enter port which Is confessedly not blockaded.

 The chief problem in the minds of the presiden. and his advisers is whether the governmsnt should act at once by handing Ambassador Bern storff his passports which would be 2 declaration of war, or whether the United States should warn Germany once more that the announced plan will not be tolerated.
 T. is reliably stated hat most of the presidents advisers favor the former course as Germany's mind has been made up to follow this course for over a month. It is urged that as war must follow Germany's defiance of the world i. Is better to act firmly and at onee
