PASTURE VELVET BEANS.

lnquiry-"What is the most profit.
able use of the Velvet Beam"
Plant the velvet bean in the corn
and get a double crop. They do we'll
together. Plant an early variety and
fertilize for q good growth. -
The most economical use Of velvet
beans Is to let cattle feed on them
In the field and then to turn under

there are. not sufficient cattle on the
place, get them and feed them. Why
go to the expense of gathering beans,

benefits ?--J. N. HARPER.

they had.
When Miss Turner was eight
months old her father died. Her
mother worked hard and tried to keep
the family together. At five she
went to live with an aunt. When she
was nine years old her mother mar
ried and as soon as she could Miss
Turner struck out for herself.
Her loss and the loss of her sister
amounted to nearly $500. 1t included
what little jewelry they possessed
and their personal belongings. Both
sisters have been working in Moore's
Cafe.

NEW ADDITION TO THE CITY

What is known as the Vaneps ad-
dition in the northeast part of the
city will be taken over by the city of
Baxter Springs in the near future.
Roy Harvey went before the county
commissioners Wednesday and asked
them to consider the matter. His
proposition was favorably received
and after a few more minute details
are worked out, he will appear be-
fore the city council Of this city and
ask them to accept the addition. This
addition was reserved some time ago
and when it is accepted by the city
it will be known as the Harvey ad-
dition.
