Him When = Child.

NEW YORK, April 14.-Mrs. Mis-
souri, A. Hawkins, who danced a
minuet with the Marquis de Lafayette
while he was in this country in 1924.
is dead at her home here Had she
lived ten days longer she would have
celebrated her 1929 birthday. AL
though confined to her bed for several
days, she had been looking forward to
tie event with great anticipation.
Death was due to a complication of
diseases incident to her advanced
age.
Mrs. Hawkins was born on April %.
1873 in Oneida county. NJ Y. and
was a daughter of Norman Kibbs.
When twenty years old she was mar
ried to William W. Hawkins. with

Hawkins was nine years old. Her
father was a member OF a committee

given for the distinguished soldier.
Mrs. Hawkins remembered distinctly
the incident when her father intro
duced her to Lafayette.
One OF her most cherished recolIec-
tiOns was that of Lafayette's choos-
ing her as his partner for a minuet.

Twenty thousand persons sprang to
their feet and applanded nightly, and
amens exploded from all over the

"oh. I've got them!" Billy shouted.
"I1l shoot this old DEVILS hide full of

In the size of his audiences at least
Billy has reason for satisfaction. In
the week just closed more than $50. 1000
persons have sat in the tabernacle
while he denounced the sins of man

church members and preachers. These

ANTI-ENLISTMENT MOVE
10 Unearthed by House Military
Committee.

An amazing PROPAGANDA move to pre-
vent enlistments for war has been
earthed by the House Military, Commit
tee. The movement was fostered In
Philadelphia in secret headquarters, and
literature urging against war and
against enlistment was circulated from
il.
In addition to this propaganda, the
direct threat was made to the commit-
tee today that an anti-enlistment move
ment would be undertaken in this coun-
try-but who made the threat was not
revealed.
The committee sat In secret session,
presumably SO that pacifist talk inside
might not be published.
John Reed. war correspondent and
witness. admitted after the session that
he had lost his head" and made some
remarks he regretted.
Asked whether he would enlist in the
army. he said. NO

PLEDGED
TO PLANT GROUND
Thousands Throughout coun-
try Bind Selves to Increase
Food Supply.

In view of the pressing military ne
cessity OF increasing the food produc.
tion of the South and the nation, so as
to release food for our army and our
allies in our common struggle against
Prussian autocracy and militarism,
hereby pledge myself to do my bit as
follows:

ADDRESS ...............
Thousands of believers in agricuI-
tural preparedness in Ill parts of the
United States are signing the above
pledge, which binds the signer to do
his part to increase the food supply
of the country in order to provide for
the needs of our army and our allies,
according to an apnouncement by the
Department of Agriculture. The
pledge originated at the Memphis con-
ference conducted by Carl Vrooman,
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture.
Food May Decide War.
Many Government officials have
stated that the present war with Ger
many will be decided by an adequate
food supply. and that every man who
cannot go to war in a military arm
OF the Government should do his part
by helping to increase the production
of food for the nation while other
men, more able bodied, take up the
burden of the fighting.
The United States Government has
already started a. campaign for farm
workers, and announcement was
made yesterday that the Government,
beginning Monday, will detail to ev-
eyy recruiting office in many of the
large cities a representative of the
Department of Agriculture. who will
endeavor to induce to enter the agri-
cultural work of the nation all those
who fail OF enlistment into the army
or the navy. Men upfit for military
service will be offered the privilege
of enlisting for farm service. Their
names will be turned over to those
seeking workers in the agricultural
districts.
Farm Labor Law Drafted.
President James, of the University
of Illinois, has announced that the
farm labor law prepared by the ex-
perts Of the State institution will be
introduced into Congress within a
few days. The measure, which has
been drafted by Dean Davenport, re-
garded as one of the greatest farm
experts in the nation. is the first tan
gible effort to solve a situation which
have been complaining
of, the encroachment of army enlist
ments upon farm labor.
The bill will put the problem OF Sc
curing field workers into the hands
of the War Department. 1t provides
that men not able to serve in the army
and navy be concentrated in farm
labor camps and then sent to differ
ent farming communities as they are
needed.

MUCH IN STARTING,
YROOMAN ADVISES
Plant Corn Now, Following
With Peas, Beets, and
.
Radishes.
BY CARL vROOMAN.

Assistant Secretary of Agriculture,
Member National Emergency Food
Garden Commission.
Now is the time to plant, and plant
ing is Important, for a plant is like
child-there is much in giving it a
good start.
Corn should be sown at the rear OF
the lot. The distance between the
rows can be cut down a great deal
If the gardener is careful. Two feet
apart will be room enough. Golden
bantam corn can be used four inches
apart in the rows. Sow two rows as
soon as danger of frost has passed.
Cover two inches deep.
Peas Come Next.
A week later SOW two more rows,
and a week later two more. making
six in all. When the plants are fve
inches high thin to stand one foot
apart in the rows. For six rows
fifty feet long three pints' of seed
will be needed. Cultivate constantly,
but as the corn grows. cultivate only
close to the surface. Two rows of
corn fifty feet long should produce
nine dozen ears.
Smooth peas, which like rich soil,
should come next. Sow these as soon
as the ground is ready, but the
wrinkled ones should be planted two
weeks later. The peas should be
placed two inches apart in the rows.
which should be two feet apart for
tall. and eighteen inches for dwarf
varities.
Three Paintings Of Beets.
Three paintings can be used in a
row of beets. Early in the spring
SO one-third OF the row, first soak
ing the seed over night. Sow the
seeds thin. and half an inch deep. The
second third can be planted In a
week and complete the row a week
later. When two inches high thin
out to stand four inches apart. Each
fifty-foot row will take an ounce of
seed.
Radishes and carrots should be
sown together for two reasons. Car
rots are delicGte, and will not push
through hard ground. The radishes
will take them along. Spinach will
serve thes same purpose. The carrots
should be sown a third OF a row at
time. about ten days apart, each
time with radishes.
