LAW HAS PROVED BENEFICIAL
British Employers Of Labor Give cor dial lndorsement to the "OsJiioHt
 Saving Proposition

Inqufrfes in the leading centers Of industry indicate that tine operation Of the summertime acr Is. among other results. having the effect Of increasing the output in shlpyards and engineer ing works, says the London Times. On the northeast coast some of the yards have been able tO arrange additional spells of daylight overtime. and in other establishments there has been an increase in output owing to the fact that there are in the aggregate Il large number of extra hours when the work can be carried on without the aid of artificial light and with iessened sense of fatigue.
 If statistics can be kept which will enable comparisons to be instituted be tween the output of the present sum mer and the corresponding period CT last year 1t Is believed that the com parison will be all to the advantage Of the present year.
 Additional evidence of the benefit of the act from the industrial standpoint comes from the railways. It has been stated in the official organ of the Ma tional Union of Railwaymen that the alteration of the clock has been fol- lowed by an Improvement in the work ing of long-dlsfance night goods trains. II has been found that the extra hour of daylight has enabled the trains to be made up and loaded in less time. and there is general feeling in rail- way circles that the summertime act should come into permanent operation, us it would enable the work of railway goods yards to be conducted with greater rapidity and safety.
 \ point which seems to appeal to the men who are on an eight-hour shift is that, whatever the turn of duty to which they are assigned. they either begin or finish work in daylight. This may seem to be a small and unimpor- tant matter, but the fact that il has caused comment among a large body of workers reveals Hn unexpected di- rection in which putting working hours in advance of solar time has proved beneficial.

Club root in cabbage will be re- tarded by heavy coat of lime ap- piled in the fall. But the only sure prevention is the use of sound seed ling plants and rotation of crops and the destruction of all refuse from infected fields.
 Soil or manure that has been in fected by the germs of the club root disease should not be carried to un- infected fields.

Half Your Living

A right or wrong start in 1917 will
make or break most farmers in tho
South. We are al facing a crisis.
This war In Europe puts things In
such uncertainty that no man can
foresee the future with any degree CO
clearness.
The sure and certain increase IN
cotton acreage means lower cotton
prices next fall. Cost of all food and
grain products is high. so high that
no one can afford to buy and expect
to pay out with cotton.
It's time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your
own acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece OF garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and

made to pay half your living. It will

DESCRIPTION.

The shop which shall endeavor to
describe to you is thing now extinct
but one with which many of you are
doubtless familiar.
Being cross between an "Old Gu
riosity Shop" and corn crib, this d
lapidated structure occupies a prOmi-
nent position on one of the back
streets. The building is of frame,
about 100 feet long and fifteen feet
wide, it has never been introduced to
coat of paint i'm its career.
The interior of this so-called shop
is besmeared with oils, greases and
dirt. There are pieces of iron, rub
Der, few worn out tires, paper, ex-
celsior,' old dry batteries and in fact
everything exceptIs bar of soap and
a clean rag.
The shop is somewhat in the nature
of hospital, where, true to its name,
quite a few dissections have been
made, and if a certain person does it,
there invariably has to be a consulta-
ton held before 1t gets put back to-
gether again. The proprietor left
about the LIST of this month to go
"back to the SOIL" He must have
given it up as bad job.

THE SPIRIT OF AN INDIAN
PRINCESS.
CHAPTER I.

Once upon a time a beautiful
young Indian Princess fell in love
with and married a young white
man, much against the wishes of q
father and her people. This act SC
infuriated the old chief that be
vowed his vengence upon the young
couple. So this young man took
his bride to the family home, a most
magnificent one. Shortly afterward
business called him away and he
left his wife for the time. Hearing
OF this, the girls father took this
opportunity for carrying his VOW into
effect. He slipped quietly into the
house and to the Princess room.
She rose as he entered but before
she could speak he had raised his
knife and stabbed her to the heart.
With this he stalked from the room
saying he had rather see her thus
than the wife of white man. On
his return. the young husband was
greatly grieved, and because of her
great love for their home. be buried
her under the front steps.
But bis sorrow was short lived,
and very soon he brought home
brand new wife, this time of his own
people.
Jealous of his happiness, the Prin-
cess returned at nights to!haunt him
and his bride. She succeeded so well
in her purpose that her husband
soon died, and then the wife. Not
content with this, it is said that she
continued to visit her home.
A long time after this, a young
man happened along seeking home
which he might rent. Charmed by
the antique furniture and not afraid
of the spirits he decided to rent the
house that boasted of the legend of
the Indian Princess.
After these matters had been ar
ranged he had his belongings sent to
the house and late one afternoon he
went up to take possession.
CHAPTER ii.
AS he entered the house dismal
uncanny feeling seemed to envelope
his whole being. A great present
ment of coming evil prevailed his
spirit. As night drew on and all
of the servants bad left the house
feeling of helplessness seized him.
He walked toward the bed room to
settle down and laugh away his
creepy feelings. But even when he
laughed a queer, weird echo ratified .

at the burning Goals in the fire place
