Victor Huqo's Grandson.

George Victor Hugo, the grandson OF
the great Victor Hugo, is now show
ing In Paris about 100 sketches which
are attracting great attention. At the
beginning of the war he was a censor,
an occupation in which he appreciated
too keenly the humor of exercising
such a function by the grandson OF
his grandfather. So, in spite OF MS
white hair. he gave up the censorship
and set out for the army. He dld not
become a general, but he is lleuten-
ant. After year and half at the
front he has returned from Champagne
with hundred choice acquareiies'
which al Paris is running to see. He
has added somewhat to the splendor
of the name of Hugo, as he has been
twice in the course of the war eited
in the orders of the day for meritorl-
GUS conduct.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR FERNS

If your Boston fern becomes yellow
and droopy-looking and refuses to re-
spond to your most loving efforts to
cheer and rouse, it, here is fertilizer
that is said to give the most wonder
full results. Use one tablespoonful of
dbasic ammonium phosphate and one
of potassium nitrate, dissolved in one
gallon of water. Pour one pint of the
solution on the roots of the fern once
a week for three weeks. In the mean
time give the plant little pl' in water
every other day. This will prove a
valuable tonic and invariably produce
new growth.

THE WHITE GRUB IN THE

ByM.. IN. EDGERTON.

In connection with the work of
growing Strawberries the white grub
is Il most tantalizing, opposing force.
Because of the manner In which 1t
works there is no way of preventing
its depredations other than by pre-
venting its propagation.
Land in sod is the favorite breeding
place of these grubs, hence it is good
policy TO fallow such land two sea-
SONS prior to setting 10 Strawberries.
This is the only way to clean them out
effectively.
As ii is not good for land to lay
idle and bare for such a length of time,
it is best to grow some kind of hoed
crop. Corn is preferable to potatoes,
The practice of growing corn after

numbers. Its presence may be detect

up with its fellows in growth and
vigor, one may be sure that there IS
trouble somewhere. and many times
one of these grubs will be found at

is BADLY WOUNDED
in old time FUED
Is Shot From Ambush by Man,
Whose Kin He Freed From
Jail Last Year.

Another link was fitted into the long
chain of feuds in Southeast Missouri
during the earlier part of this week,
when C. L. Hampton of Dugginsville.
in Ozark County, was shot from am
bush and dangerously wounded. He
named Joseph Long, with whom he has
been on inimical terms for almost il
years, as his assailant. The assailant
used buckshot of a heavy caliber. Six
teen shot were removed from the
wounded mans body, VINO was taken
to hospital in Springfield. While
ne is in serious condition, physicians
hope to save his life.
The shooting was the climax of a
long feuG which started when Hamp-
ton shot and killed Lewis Davenport
at Dugginsville about 10 years ago,
and was revived when Hampton killed
Jack Fugate at Dugginsville some 10
years ago.
According to information from West
Plains, the Longs had some trouble
among themselves last Christmas,
which resulted in the shooting of Por-
ter Long by his nephew, Ebe Long.
Ebe was arrested and taken into Gus
tody by the sheriff of Ozark County
Hampton filed his bond and Long was
released. 1t was then that the feel
ing between other members of the
Long family began to eliminate.
On the day of the last shooting
Hampton started to Lutte. He was
riding his horse, and was looking for
q break in the telephone wire. When
4 considerable distance from his home
his attention was attracted to a noise

He told his family he looked around
Just in time to Joe Long taking aim

body, two in the right side of the
head, one in the temple, three in the
right arm and the remainder in his
side and back. He was taken to
Springfield in an automobile. accom-
panied by his wife and family phys

pital to locate some of the shot. Sew
eral were removed. and the patient is
doing nicely. He will recover if no
