Mystery of the Boat

1t has been reported that neither
could swim but this is denied by boy
friends of Mr.. Geoffroy who say he
Stanley Raub with Otto and AL
bert Geoffroy went to the river and
by O'Clock found the canoe caught
on a snag in the middle of the
river about a quarter or half mile
below Mr.. Fengels place. Miss
Etherington wore her hat when she
was a fair swimmer. The mystery
of the upright canoe is unsolved as
il would seem that while it was not
overturned completely they could
have clung to the boat. When Miss
Tucker and Mr.. Raub searched along
the river at $3.50 it was twilight
but they saw no boat tho the river
is not wide. This morning
the boat was near the middle of the
river caught on a snag and plainly
visible for some distance.
The supposition is that they were
padding upstream and the canoe
struck a snag partly submerged,
throwing one or both from the ca
noe and that they struggled in the
water, finally sinking near where
the accident occurred.

Miss fuckers Story

When they reached the river, ac-
cording to an interview with Miss
Tucker today Miss Etherington and
Miss Tucker waited while Lloyd and
Stanley went down the river to find
a boat. They returned with large
canoe belonging to Tavern Wilcox.
1t was then about $50 o'clock.
With the lunch in the bottom of
the canoe, Alma and Lloyd started
for a short ride to be gone no
longer than ten or fifteen minutes.
Stanley and Elsie remained at the
wharf waiting for the other couple
to come back so that they could eat
their lunch and take a canoe ride
afterwards. They became worried
when Lloyd and Alma had not re-
turned by s o'clock and started to
hunt for them.
They searched the banks and the
river all the way from Fengel S
place to Kyle's bridge and then re-
turned about 8 o'clock exhausted
from tramping thru the tall wheat
and weeds.
J. NJ. Fengel, who had noticed
that Mr.. Raub's car was still stand
ing in front of his home went down
to the river and found Mr.. Raub
and Miss Tucker just returning from
their search They had not even
seen trace of the boat nor the
couple
Mr.. Fengel assured the two that
the river was not at all dangerous
at this time of year and that it was
not probable the couple had drown
ed.
Stanley and Elsie waited until 2
o'clock. They were satisfied that
the former couple had played a
trick on them by either going to a
farm house and having some one
take them home or that they had
walked home.
1t was nearly 1890 when the
latter couple reached home and as
they did not wish to disturb either
families over their fears, they wait
ed until this morning.

OF RANK

Not n civilian out of a hundred
can tell an officers rank by his in
sigma. In these war days, when an
officer is required to yea his uni
form at all times, it's easy to tell
the rank if you remember the simple
allegory.
Generals have stars on their Shout
der straps; colonies have an eagle;
lieutenant colonies have a maple leaf
majors, oak leaf; captains, two bars;
first lieutenants, one bar; and second
~lieutenants no bar at all. The ALE
CORY:
The second lieutenant enters the
service at the bottom with the future
before him, hence he has no designat'
ing mark. The first lieutenant has
climbed one bar of the ladder, hence
n stripe on his shoulder strap. Wher
the captaincy has been reached he has
climbed another bar, and wears two
stripes. Over the two bars comes tn
oak leaf, and above it the maple. Soar
ing majestically above the tree sails
the eagle, and in the blue vault allow
all others are the stars-the leaves
the major and the lieutenant colonel
the eagle the colonel and the stars tn

PEAS, BETS and BEANS
ARE FAVORITE CROPS
Directions for Planting These
Vegetables in the
Home Garden

Garden peas are a favorite crop in
the home garden, and as they are not
easily injured by frosts, they may be
planted as soon as the soil can be
put in order in the spring, according
to the specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture. BY Sc
lecting a number of varieties it is
possible to have a continuous supply
of peas throughout a large portion OF
the growing season. In order to &C.
complish this, paintings should be
made every 10 days or two weeks un-
til warm weather comes. The first
paintings should be of small-growing,
ouick-maturing varieties, such as
Alaska, First and Best and Gradus'
These kinds do not require supports
They should be followed by the large
wrinkled type of peas, such as Cham
pion of England, Telephone, and Prize
Taker. These may be supported or
brush, on strings attached to stake:
driven in the ground, OF on wire
netting.
Peas should be planted about 2 or E;
inches deep in rows 3 to 4 feet apart
Some gardeners, however, follow tn
practice of planting in double rows
inches apart, with the ordinary spac'
of 3 to a feet between these pairs o
rows. With varieties requiring sup

port this = : good pr ctice, As the
supports can be placed in the narrow
space between the rows
Beans are more susceptible to cold
than peas and should mot be planted
until danger Of frost is past and the
ground begins to warm up. They are,
however, among the most desirable
vegetables that the home gardener
can raise. There are many different
kinds of varieties Of beans, but for
garden purposes they may be divided
into two classes-string and Lima.
Both classes are grown commercially
over the greater part Of the east and
adapt themselves to a wide diversity
Of soils and climate. They grow rap
idly and, therefore, leave the area
in which they have bee planted free
for another crop. To secure a o n
%tinuous supply, it is de irable to make
paintings at intervals of 10 days or
2 weeks from the time that the ground
is reasonably warm un It'll hot weather
sets in.
Both string and Ii ma beans are
subdivided into pole and bush types.
The pole Lima bean should be planted
with from 8 to 10 seeds in the hill
and after the plants become establish
ed should be thinned to 3 or 4. The
hills should be 4 or s feet apart
Bush Lima beans are planted S or 6
inches apart in rows 30 to SO inches
apart. Bush beans of the string type
may be planted somewhat closer -
the plants standing 3 or 4 inches
apart in rows from 20 to rs inches
apart if hand cultiva alton only is tt
be employed.
Beans of any kind should not be
planted any deeper than is necessary
to secure good termination. This
should never be over two inches ant
on heavy soil it should not be more
than IL to w inches.
Beets can be planted comparativel!

cred to a depth of about l inch. A
soon as the plants are we'll up the,
should be thinned to stand 3 to
inches apart. From 2 to 8 planting
should be made in order to have

Do not be ashamed to plan closely.
Thrift in food meant providing
enough food, neither too little nor too
much.
Notice carefully how much Of such
staples as -four, sugar, milk, cooking
fat, etc., is used each week for a
month, and zee II there are any ways
Of cutting down the quantity needed.
Buy nonperishable materials in
quantities if better prices a be Sc
cured and there is a good storage
place in the home. Neighbors can
sometimes club together to get lower
rates.
Estimate carefully how much of any
material will be needed before laying
in a supply, then see that none is
wasted by careless handling.
Try to make the dishes served of
such size that there will be enough
to satisfy the appetite of the family
and no unnecessary table and plate
waste.
Do not be above noticing whether
anything disable is thrown away with
the garbage, which always shows how
thriftily food is used in a household.
Many inexpensive materials can be
made attractive and the diet can be
pleasantly varied by a wise use Of diff
