TELEGRlM ASKS FOR
4 DYING RELATIVE

Dated at Porterville, California, a
telegram reached the office of the
Pensacola police chief yesterday,
making inquiry of some party named
PaEner, or someone staying at the
home of a Parker family, who, the
wire stated, was dying of mercury
poisoning. Inquiry was made as to
how the mercury was procured,
whether or not it was q suicidal at
tempt, and in fact full details were
asked for.
The wire was referred to Police
Commissioner Sanders who consulted
the city directory for names and Ioca-
tions Of parties either mentioned in
the wire or the signer thereof, but
could find nothing on which to base
any investigation. No name of any
Parker family is in the directory with
initials like those quoted in the mes
sage, and it is believed that the wire
was enormously addressed to this
city.
Police Commissioner Sanders viii
appreciate any information on the
case which might be furnished by
anyone, which would lead to a clear
ing up of the rather interesting
mystery.

JUNE's ROAD.

June builds a golden road away
To every mans desire,
It lies across the mists Of dawn
And through the sunsets fire
And would I might 60 down the road
To my hearts desire.
Twould be a gate with a rusty lock,
And a rosebush blooming there,
ARd a woman standing, white and
slim,
With one rose in her hair.
And I would wait in the road to say,
How fair she was-how fair!
Tor you must tell a woman that
And you must tell her this
And YOU must say that she is fair
And seal it with q kiss
And 50 I'd say IF I might 60
On the road TO my hearts bliss.
June's road Is laid with dew and mist
And decked with gay attire;
I see Il on the distant hills,
And through the sunsets fire,
And ] would I might 90 down the
road
To my hearts desire.

HOW TO BE A RED CROSS NURSE
Ssumg Shirts for Soldiers Part of Work. Must Be No Weak
Links in Chain
By Jane A. Delano.
chairman National Committee on
Nursing. American Red CrOss0


Nursing, American Red Crosse
Early in the war the music halls
rank with "Sister Susie's Sewing
Shirts for Soldiers" People laughed
and the figurative Sister Susie may
have had to bite her lips.
But three years later with America
facing the war problems and thou
sands of devoted American women
asking "What can I do" l can say,
Sew" Many thousands of women
will be called on to work in factories
which do just that-"sew shirts for
soldiers" But many more thousands
will be called on TO sew sheets and
pillows and bandages, and make hos
pital robes and pajamas. The Ameri-
can Red Cross chapters, city and
country, have an enormous job before
them.
War teaches us many things and
not the least of these is that service
is like a chain, no stronger than its
weakest link. The Red Cross nurse
at the base hospital in France de-
pends on the Friday sewing circle
back in Iowa that makes its bandages
with infinite care and patience. The
members of the sewing circle MAJ
wear no becoming colts. They are not
going to have tales to tell of bursting
bombs and the death words of heroes.
But they are the mothers and sisters
OF those heroes and after all, heir
stitches count as much as the skilled
work of trained nurses.
A week ago, the new naval hospital
at Philadelphia was short of SHEETS
Three thousand sheets and pillow
cases were. shipped within an h..ur
I of the call from the store room Of the
chapter house at Washington, d. c..

women have quietly and Simply sewn

In view OF This fact, those prelates
and dignitsries OF the church who la
mented over this state of things were
not sorry to And that there were still
in the world people capable OF arous-
ing in the minds Of others an interest
in religion and religious matters. This
explains partly why the craze which
seized some persons in regard TO lilo
dore at first and TO Rasputiu later on
was not viewed with the dissatisfac-
ton one might have expected by the
Russian ecclesiastical authorities. They
argued that surely it was better for
people to pray in the wav these two So
called "eaints'' told them to do than
not to pray at all. 1t was only much
later after Illiodore's rebellion to the
orders Of his superiors. and Rasputin's
ever-growing personal influence had be-
gun to alarm them, that there were
found some bishops in Russia who mace
q stand against both, until at last a
catssthrope removed these two men
from the scene OF their previous labors
and successes.
RASPUTIN'S EMILE" BEGINS
Rasputin and Llliodore were in time
to become mortal enemies. but at first
great friendship united them, and
when Rasputin was sentenced TO enter
q convent in the manner already related
Illiodore took up his cause most warm
ly and telegraphed to one OF the for
mer's admirers, an ecclesiastic OF high
rank in St. Petersburg, in the follow
ing terms: Neither Bishop Feofsne nor
Archimandrite Serge has behaved fair
" in regard TO the Blessed Gregory
Illiodore's efforts, however, did not
avail and Rasputin was ordered to leave
the capital Immediately. But instead
of being compelled to enter the convent
whittier they had wished to conflne
him at first, he was allowed to return
to his native village Of Pokrowskoie.
Before doing so he bethought himself
Of calling on his former patron. Bishop
Feofane but the latter met him with
the exclamation. Don't approach me,
satan. Thou art not a blessed thing,
but only q vulgar deceiver!" At Pokrow-
skoie Rasputin surrounded himself wtth
twelve sisters. OF whom the Oldest was
barely twenty-nine years of age. They
all lived in his house, which was ex-
tremely we'll arranged and richly fur
nished. Rasputin's wife. together with
her children, was also there and ocou-
pied a suite of five rooms, whilst each
of the sisters had separate room %
herself.
People wondered that the woman
who ought TO have been the sole mis-
tress in the place had consented to
share her authority with all these girls,
and some even thought that she was
just as bad as her husband. In reality,
the prophets" consort had done all
that she could to persuade her husband
to give up the mission" which he de-
clared had been imposed upon him by
the Almighty and return to his former
life of a simple peasant. Her efforts
had remained fruitless and Rasputin
had reDlied to all her entreatieg that
his past existence had come forever to

the best possible condition 10 enable you
TO plant very early next year. You
should also select a variety of cotton
which is a rapd-fruiting, early-maturtnS
variety. College No. l and Cleveland
Big Boil are two excellent sorts to plant
under your soil and climatic conditions.
Another year you should not make the
mistake OF stalking your all on cotton,
but should reduce your acreage to such
an extent that you will be able to give
your crop the best care, fertilization and
cultivation you have ever accorded 1t.
This is a matter Of the utmost tmpor-
lance and If you do not consider this adj
vice now you will probably rue 1t later
on. Fertilize cotton so as to force II
to maturity as quickly as possible. This
means to use relatively large amounts OF
acid phosphate and plenty of nitrogen
to insure a quick and rapid growth and
DEVELOPMENT OF the plant. Frequent and
shallow cultivation are essential. Watch
your cotton and as soon as II comes up
out OF the ground, pick the weevils of.
The weevils damage the leaves very
early in the season. Picking and de-
stroying weevlls at this time of the year
means the destruction of the progeni-

picking and cultivating carefully Take
off the damaged or injured squares as
soon as they appear. Persist in this
treatment until the middle of July or

should be able to make very fair crop
