When the nuts have attained some size, cultivation should be shallow. The most difficult point is knowing just when to dig. Try to dig them when the first nuts begin to shed. taking small turn blow with the mold board removed, run around them and shake the dirt off, pill ing these rows together in a small pile. Let them lie for three or four days and then stack around stakes. taking care to pack so as to hide all the nut, let them remain in the stack until they are dry, then pick.

Can Meet Any Emergency

sI believe the regiment which I am raising in the southern territory will be the best and most practical en- gineering regiment in the American service" said Maj. John s. Sewell.
 This view is based on the fact that some of the eastern regiments will pick up a great many experts and highly trained men, but they will be men who are used to having every kind of tool, every kind of equipment and every facility for their work. In the south we are more accustomed to making use of the material we have at hand. Our men haven't had the advantage of the equipment the northern and eastern men have to work with.
 "In other words we will be a rough and tumble lot. We will be able to jump out of bed and build a temporary rail- road bridge, patch up a road bed, build 8 new spur track, take charge of a train, repair cars or engine-in fact do anything that an emergency gang on one of our railroads can do. And we Twill be able to do it with a minimum of high-priced equipment"

As a seer, 1 stand or fall on the emphatic prediction that peace will be declared between mid night of December IS and midnight of De- cember 19 1917.
 "Of course" he continued, 'I have not been in this seer business very long; only a few weeks, and scoring on big thing like the worlds war is quite an under taking, as you will admit, even for an old and experienced seer.
 No, I cannot tell you how I arrive at the date of December 19. One beauty about a prophet is that he don't have to explain his prophecies. Whats the use of being a seer if you have to put the test of cold, hard reason to your pre- dictions?"

Miss Elizabeth Graham, dear to the
hearts OF hundreds Of .unfort0nates as
the Angel of Bellevue" gave the peo-
pie at the big hospital a shock the other
might.
She returned after a Short vacation
with tears in her eyes. There was no
trace Of the smile that had helped many
OF the patients in the tuberculosis ward
make a drawer fight.

sobbed the little nurse. -
Husband! What?" exclaimed the
sympathetic physician.
Yes. We hadn't finished our honey
moon when he was called to camp for
training" Miss Graham explained.
And thus It was that a pretty romance
was revealed. Miss Graham became the
bride OF Lawrence ]. Mulhearn, a civil
engineer of the Interstate Commerce
commission, April 30. At the hospital It
was thought she had ,gone away for a
much needed rest.
Miss Graham contemplates enlisting as
