GEORGES FINISH WAS PLAIN
ture of BashfuI Swain Who Was
Led to the "Slaughter."

A young couple, evidently from the
country, were walking down Market
street the other day apparently look
ing for something very much in par
ticular. AT last they stopped at a
large jewelers. winlow iii which were
displayed a number of wedding-rings.
They stood by the window a few mo-
ments discussing some urgent question,
the big, clumsy-lOoking fellow, who
measured about six feet, apparently
hesitating, says Tit-Bits.
''Go on, George" said the girl, who
scarcely reached his elbows; whats
the use of backing out, now you've
gone so far?'
81 don't half like to, Mary" he re-
Piled; "that sleel-looking fellow in
there is sure to grin at me, and say
ought to be in the army"
''What difference does it make
whether he laughs or cries ~ exclaimed
the girl. eff you haven't the pluck, I'll
go myself"
"That's it, Mary" was the response !;
eff you'll do the asking, I'll come with
you ard look on"
Followed by her bashful lover, the
little woman marched boldly in and
chose the wedding-ring, while her
swain twirled his hat, blushed and
looked on.
AS they left, the assistant gazed
after them with a thoughtful air, and
remarked: 81 admire Mary's pluck,
but I would hate to be George ten
years from nOw.''

CULTIVATE TO AID ALFALFA
1t Will Pay Farmer to Go Over Alfalfa
Field With Disk After Cut
ting First Crop.

1t will pay you to cultivate the
ground as soon as you ret the first
crop of alfalfa hay off oft the ground,
especially if it is an old stand of al
falfa. The crop has shaded the soil.
When you cut it, you let the hot sun
strike the earth and it b&kes it hard
If you will break that crQst, you will
add much to the crop, It takes nerve,
but it pays to right your disk and set
it so it will throw some dirt, and go
over the alfalfa both was. and then
harrow it. If you set your disk too
square you will destroy some of the
crowns. Learn just how to set the
disk by experience. It will do your
alfalfa as much good as cultivation
helps the corn. Try it once and be
convinced.

STARVING TREES IN ORCHARDS
Neglect Means Greater Loss Than to
Any Other Crop--Food and Care
Are Most Essential.

Has the orchard played out? Has
it begun to weaken and give way to
the ravages of insect and Fungus pests?
Has it ceased to produce profitable
yields of good sized fruit? If so, the
chances are that you are starving the
trees. Fruit trees need food and care
the same as other plalits. Neglect
means the same loss-ilo,, it means
greater luss than to any other erOn: #
you starve corn or oaI erDR; it can
be remedied at any time in one year.
They are ANIMALS. But when you
starye the orchard and weaken it till
it is killed by its enemies, it takes
years to grow another, however rich
you may make the orchard soil.

the highway department, as this is
the only method possible to avoid Omis-
sion of important items.
"The amount of traffic must be OBJ
tained by traffic census. This should
be divided between passenger and
commercial vehicles and also between
motOr-driven and hrose-drawn vehicles.
''In New York state, where every
five or six miles of improved highway
is under the control of patrolman, it
would be comparatively easy to obtain
such traffic census, as the patrolman
could have certain day each month
to make count of these vehicles, at
comparatively no expense to the state.

WORKING IN SMALL GARDENS
Onion Sets and Lettuce or Radishes

Spinach Between CABBAGE.

(By LEROY CADY, Associate Horticul-
turist, University Farm, st. Paul)
Where one has only a small space
for the garden, it is well to work out a
companion cropping scheme. For in
stance, onion sets and lettuce or rad
ishes may be planted together. Three
or four rows of spinach may be sown
between the rows of cabbage or cauli-
flower and cut out when large enough.
Many Acknowledgements vegetables

SORE BACKS AND SHOULDERS

Spring is here and so is spring plow-

straps that go down to the tugs. Do
not try to regulate the draft by tight
ening the back straps to the point
where they will pull the tugs out of
line. If they are even snug when

Washington. Fc3 12 Formal notI- tltalion ol the retention in Germany of the seventytwo American sailors brought in as prisoners on the prize ship YarrowdaIc was given 10 the state department today by Dr. Paul Ritter. Swiss minister here acting for the German government together with an inquiry as to the status of the crews of the German warbound ships in American harbors.
 Germany Dr. Ritter said, had decid- cd to hold the Yarrowdale prisoners until she had had definite assurance that German crews in American har. hors would not be held or imprisoned
 This development wholly une%- Iected, was amazing too the American avernment Officials here had come to the conclusion that the early TO- ports which misled the German gov. ernment as to the treatment Of Ger man crews here had been effectively dispelled by the forwarding of com plete datails As this included the presidential announcement tha. Ger man ships would not be seized now in the event of the war and full infor- naton about the government toward .he German sailors, officials are whol- ly at a loss to know what kind of re- bort could have SO suddenly changed Germany's attitude.
 A query was addressed to the gov enor Of Hawaii. the only section where German ships are warbouud e here all the conditions are not known. There is not the least thought that any variation will be found there in the uniformly courteous treatment accorded German vessels but officials INant a detailed account of the status Of the two war vessels and the eight merchantmen there in order to pre- sent a final report showing the com ditlons in all American harbors.
 Eventual release of the Yarrowdala prisoners is regarded as assured. but an urgent protest gainst their reim- prisonmpnt will be made at once
 A prcmemptory demand for the ge- lease of the prisoners was abont the last instruction sent former Ambassa- cor Gerard.

Today representatives of the Sem tmel-Record are out working on a spe. cial edition of the Sentinel-Record which will be issued the latter part of this week for general distribution in New Orleans ana in other sections from which Hot Springs expects to gather an exceedingly farge patronage curing the months of March and April.

 "The main object of the edition. " said Mr. Levy yesterday, lis that we shall get this special edition of the Sentinel-Record into the hands of the people generally in New Orleans be fore they scatter next week. The ho- tels of New Orleans are now filled to the point of capacity With resorters from all sections of the country, there being many customers in the repre- sentation there, and with this concert ed move we expect to be able to get them to come to Hot Springs immedi- ately after the close of the New Or leans race meeting"
 The advertisers in this issue will have the double benefit of attracting special attention to Hot Springs, but also of putting their business lines in the hands of the crowd that is nov ing here even before the crowd begins to move This issue will be printed here in the Sentincl-Record office and will then be taken personally by Nessrs. Cohen and Levy to New Or, leans and will be distributed there. and also a large number of copies will he sent to Havana and 10 Juarez and other sections.
 Yesterday these representatives started out on their work of securing cooperation from the business men here and found there was much appre ciation of the splendid idea of work
 ing together comparatively to brna the New Orleans patronage into Hot Springs for a six weeks stay before they returned to their homes in the north and east.

 Officials here refuse to comment They say that the facts speal far themselves. Germany has made the position of American relief workers untenable and the workers have been withdrawn, There is no recourse or palliative. The military authorities have spoken and their voice must be needed.

Germans COncentrutinu
 on Holland Frontier
Valid Reason Shown for Dutch GoD- ernnert Not Following the
 Lead of President Wilson.

Copenhagen, Feb 12, Via London Five German army corps concentrated on the Holland frontier furnish fair. ly convincing explanation. in default of other reasons for the failure of the Dutch government to adopt the policy toward Germany recommended by President Wilson on account of the German submarine campaign.
 That German troops were assem- bling in fairly large numbers in the vicinity of the Holland border had ben the subject of gossip in Berlin military circles for several weeks be. fore Dr. von BethmannIlollweg's an- nouncemert of the new submarine campaign. Their presence there at a time when Germany was talking of peace instead of a policy that would weigh most heavily upon neutral in. terests, was then usually explained as 6 precautionary measure, or even merely characterized as part of a plan fer the distribution of strategic re- serves for the spring campaign.
