she had escaped as luckily as she

But a week later, when the fellow
who figured in the Room 500 Incl

her the swell job on the road; Mar
ian, anxious to get work, forgot her
caution. Once more he led her to
the room in the hotel
This time when her friend" his
name was Harry Thompson, he told
her, got her in the room it was all
of. Ten minutes after she ventured
into the trap Marian found herself,
half-unconscious and bleeding, in
the bathroom. She had been at
tackled by Harry Thompson and she
was being held captive by several
men.
She was dragged from the bath
room a few moments later and told
to get her sister on the wire and
have her come to the room. She did
and half hour afterward in tripped
Charlotte, wide-eyed and curious,
into the den.
Thompson grabbed her and tried
to do the same with her as he did
with Marian, but Charlotte screamed
so loudly that guests were aroused
and Thompson had to stop his at
tempts.
So Charlotte escaped. But this
was the beginning OF the end, for
Marian, despoiled, fell into the ways
planned for her by the creatures who
used room 900 for their purposes.
Other men visited the room, many of

BIG DolNGS AT SPRINGFIELD
TUESDAY ON SCHOOL LAWS
Next Tuesday is set for the big
main hearing at Springfield on pub
lie school laws, for Chicago. A, r.
Shannon, attorney for the school
board, and John L. Lovett, secretary
of the Chicago Public School league
GIL Manfrs. ASSN, were in Spring
field yesterday and today. So were
Ida L. Fursman and Nano T. Hickey
of the Teachers Federation execu-
tive board.
Ralph C. Otis and Max Loeb, school
trustees, have been over the ground
lately and will be at the hearing
Tuesday.
The two biggest things that will be
put in or left out of the Otis-Mueller
bill are a tenure clause for teachers
and authorization of school land
sales by the school board alone with
out check by the city council.
Rev. Rufus A. White of Chicago is
one of the active lobbyists on the re-
igious issue. He is said to have de-
clared that the Otis-MueIer bill 'is a
good anti-Roman Catholic bill"
Mrs. Ida L. Pursman, president
of Teachers Federation, personally
a Christian Scientist, whose father
was Methodist clergyman, insists
that the religious issue is unfairly IN
jected into the legislative situation.
Teachers, parents and children
will all get more benefit from any
Legislation enacted if it approached
without prejudice, is her statement.
''The right Of a teacher to trial and
a public hearing before dismissal is
a right that ought to be protected

system should concern itself only

servants. Whether a woman is Cath

SURPLUS OF VEGETABLES.

SURPLUS OF VEGETABLES.
Many sections of the United States report a
surplus Of vegetables, due to the growing schemes
of millions of amateur gardeners.
It is essential that the surplus be we'll taken
care of. It is necessary to use it, not waste it.
Right here we show a tendency to fall down
on the job. The department of agriculture and
state conservation departments are fearful that
we shall be unable to take advantage of our good
fortune. Or rather, that we will not.
Let every housewife be careful and be a real
patriot at the finish Of the vegetable crop-as good
a patriot as at the beginning of the sowing.
DRAFT ALIENS.
The likelihood Of aliens from certain nations
being drafted in the war is en1inently Just and

Our labor troubles are due primarily to Cen
eral Prosperity Of capital and the high cost of liv-
ing. On the one hand, capital is employed at the
best return, in many industries, for so years; on
the other labor, though generally employed at
good wages, finds the high cost of living an ex-
cessive burden. tits clearly the duty of the gov
eminent to so control the situation that both cap

will be no need for the troubles and differences 50

INSTRUCTIVE HINTS
FOR THE ORCHARDIST
Big Tree Is Not Always Most De-
SirabIe-Learn to 0utWit
Disease and Insects.
ny L. M. BENN1NGroN) }


Plant apple trees five or six inches
deeper than other fruit trees.
It is a mistake to assume that big
tree will always come into bearing
sooner than small one.
If too big the storms may cause
them to be seriously injured before the
roots have become thoroughly fixed.
A tree which Is infested with insects
will not thrive any better than u pig
covered with lice.
The farmer who starts an orchard
and has not studied the effects Of
spraying might as well save his time
and expense. He will fail without
spraying.
The Ben Davis makes brave show
ing on the city fruit stands, but doesn't
1t cause prejudice among the Ignorant
against all apples?
An old broom from which most Of
the brush has been worn off will re-
move loose bark from the trunks or
trees, and at the same time destroy
many hiding places of insects.
A tree which is properly sprayed and
cared for, however, seldom has any
rough bark to remove.
Do not let the pears remain on the
trees until thoroughly ripe, or they Will
become soft and mealy.

RABBITS FOR THE SOLDIERS
The War Department Has Contracted
for Ten Carloads to Take the
Place of Meat.

Out in the Short grass" country Of
state a new source of power has been
found to be used in the war for de-
mocracy, the Kansas jackrabbit. Uncle
Sam has recognized the usefulness OF
the animal and already has planned
to enlist his services in the fight
against German autocracy.
In the western and central parts Of
the state the jackrabbit is to be found
by the thousands. Always Kansas has
relished rabbit dinner. Why not
make use of the rabbits by feeding
them to the Nations soldiers? The
idea sounded so good the government
investigated and made a contract with
Coon Beck, manager of Riverside
Park, Hutchinson, for ten cars Of the
animals.
The drive for the rabbits has begun.
Beck has started out buyers, who are
offering ten cents apiece for all rab-
bits delivered in good condition. To
handle the rabbits as they arrive at
Hutchinson, cold storage facilities
have been provided. The rabbits will
be cleaned at the storage plant,
wrapped in paper and packed twelve
in box and shipped by the carload
to the East.
1t has been pointed out that in addi-
tion to furnishing a source of meat,
the killing of the rabbits will be a
great benefit to the farmers of the
state, as the animals feed on young
alfalfa, corn and the choicest crops
on the farm.
1t has been estimated that there are
five million jachTabbits in Southwest
ern Kansas. Farther west the rab-
bits are thicker yet. The rabbit sea-
son has not opened, as the animals
are not suitable for human consump-
ton until cold weather becomes gen.
eral.

power and clogglng. The cutter bar
should be in good condition and the
knives and bar properly adjusted to
each other. If any extras are likely
to be needed for the corn binder they
should be on hand.
Authorities agree that the nearer
ripe the corn is, If II contains enough
water to make good sllnge, the sweeter
the sllage will be and consequently the
more palatable; olso the greater the
amount of dlgestlble nutrient 1t will
contain. Roughly speaking, a majority
of the ears should be dented. When
large quantities are to be cut 1t Is
necessary to begin before the corn IL
at It's best, otherwise the last cut
will be too ripe.
Shortcut sllage means greater silo
capacity, less air space, and II the corn
is little dry, less likelihood Of spoil
Ing. Short cutting, also, means re-
duced capacity Of the machine and
more power. II the stalks are coarse
and woody the waste is greater In long
cut sIlage. In fine stalked corn that
is very green there is less difference
between the long and short cut.
When corn is very dry from being
Overripe or frozen, 1t Is often neces'
sary to apply water to the silage in
order to make 1t keep. Enough water
should be applied to mOlsten thorough
ly the whole mass. There is little
danger Of applying too much water.
Roughly speaking 1t takes one and
one-half 4 to two horsepower gas for
every ton per hour of green corn cut
one-half inch In length and blown 30
feet high. From this 1t will be seen
that to cut ten tons per hour one-half
inch long and blow into silo 30 feet
high will require approximately 10
or 20 horse power gas engine. If the
same amount per hour is cut one
fourth of an inch long 1t will require
considerably more power.
