 Fox-tafl millet. which makes up ap- proXfmately nine-tenths of all the mil let grown in the United States is yalu- able chiefly as a catch crop. Most farmers Use it to overcome shortage in their hay supply or to occupy q field which would otherwise he idle. For such purposes millet is admirably adapted because it natures quickly and q stand is obtained with ease and certainty.
 This millet is adapted to T wide range of soils and climates. On poor soil or in a dry climate it deas better than most other hay crops. In semi arid regions it frequently escapes periods of drought because of is short growing season. On the other hand, it Is quick to show the effect of dry weather because of its shallow root system. Compared with sudan grass, it's chief competitor, milIet is deficient both in quality and yield of hay but the growing season of sudan grass is somewhat longer, anu tllI9 t'i'Nl'''H greater opportunity in the iatter for injury from drought AIillet is not to be regarded as a profitable constituent of crop rotations as it appears 10 be more exhaustive of soil fertility than small grains or corn.

 But I am engaged to Miss Boyd :" cried Darcy.
 "Then disengage" coolly directed Toll and Darcy went away truly Wretched being. Then he did a wise thing. He went to Eva and her sister, Beulah, and told the whole story.
 You need have no worry on account of Gerald Toll" Elva told Darcy. T still love you and will marry you or nobody. But oh. if this hideOus old monster should really wreck your life!n and poor Elva burst into tears, utterly crushed.
 "We must be wise aS serpents and baffie the enemy" pronounced Beulah, the thinker, and out of discussion and reflection came her suggestion of Darcy going to visit his old friend, Rolf6 Lee, 10 see if he could help him out of his dilemma.
 Meanwhile Darcy saw Elva only on secret occasions and Gerald Toll was tolerated as a visitor to the Boyd home. This was in accordance with the suggestion of Lee, who at once brushe' up on his oldtfme detective skill and started in on the case, some what baAled as to how exactly he was to circunvent the Tolls.
 Only by discovering a flaw in the record, business or methods of the old skfnflint, Lee was assured could he hope to arrive at starting point. He fancied path was open to him wheE by a reformed burglar he had known he, was made aware of the fact that three years previous old Toll had been the principal in the operations of criminal gang, acting as their fence, or the party who financed them and dis posed of their stolen plunder.
 But Lees informant had only vague evidence of what he barely suspected and, after an investigation, Lee was satisfied that Toll had long since severed his connection with the crim- inal band.
 One evening Darcy was strOlling past the home of old Toll, when he noticed it's sordid proprietor come hastily down the steps and proceed along the street in a rapid and excited manner. He determined to follow him. Toll pro- ceeded to a section of the town given over to the slums. He entered sec ond-rate lodging house. made some in- quiries and ascended to a room on it's upper floor. Knowing the shady char acter of the place. Lees suspicious and interest were fully aroused.
 Ten minutes later Lee stood outside door of a room beyond which he knew Toll was an inmate. He peered over the transom from a convenient stairway, he edged close to the loose, rickety door to catch the conversa-

-BabYIonian Epic.

In the midst of it all, a man in Phila-. delphia, a professor. is calmly trans lating a BabXlonian epic. He hais be- fore him certain tablets which were buried in Mesopotamian ground thou sands of years ago, upon which, in the time of Abraham, certain queer cone shaped characters were inscribed. Not many years ago the key to these char acter was discovered, n the form of an inscription in two languages, one of which WAS known. and the meaning of the queer characters slowly emerged. The Philadelphia professor has discovered that the tablets bear an epic poem. He is translating the epic and finds 1t to be the story of the way in which q half-barbarous chief tain, named Enllidu, was redeemed from a career of tyranny and violence by the love of woman. And day after day, while the papers are full of woes and wickedness. and the drums of war beat on the streets. indifferent to all the uproar this patient man goes on transIating into good English the poem of Enlldu and his love.

How Child Plaque Is Spread.

Dr. Hans Zinsser, professor of bac- teriology of Columbia college, after in vestigating a half dozen possible methods of carrying the contagion of infantile paralysis, practically elim- mates all others and puts the re- sponsibility upon man himself. This may be direct or indirect. The indi- rect is the more deadly. The virus can pass directly from the upper respi- ratory tract-the nose, mouth and pharynx-of one individual to that of another. This, from the nature of cpl demic diseases, however, serves to spread the infection in but a compara- lively slight degree. Intestinal infec- tion with food is another mode of transmission, the importance of which Doctor Zinsser, as the result of his experiments. is ready to discount Monkeys have been inoculated with the diseases in this manner only with difficulty.

 That is your story"
 "Truthfully told.'
 And now you wish to help me?'
 "For the sake of oldtime friendship, because a loyal tender heart will break if the truth come out, if it lies in your power, yes"
 ROlfe Lee clasped the hand of Darcy Moore with a reassuring pleasure.
 Tt is five years since I gave up de- tective work for the law" he said. "The old ardor of man-hunting has given place to man-helping."
 "Then help me-"
 "Tll do it."
 1t was a strange story that Darcy Moore had related. It had to do with four years back. He had been em- plored by Abner Toll as clerk He was young, needless, led into extrava- gance and dissipation by the son of Toll. In a moment of inebriety he had forged a check against his employer. It had been done at the artful instiga- tion of young Gerald Toll. Back in his sober senses, he had gone to old Toll and confessed his guilt The lat ter had insisted on a written and signed confession. He had given Moore time to pay back the money, but when the debt was cancelled with interest he had chuckled like some satyr.
 You know too much about some of my sons wild freaks to let loose on the community" he observed. "I'll hold the documents against you until Gerald settles down in life, for fear you might try to retaliate"
 Darcy had found new position had ignored his former reckless com panions and had fallen in love with a pretty little miss named Elva Boyd. He had tried to forget the menace held over him by old Toll. Then q strange complication had arisen. Young Gerald Toll had taken a fancy to Elva. He entered the lists as an ardent suitor. One day old Toll sent for Darcy.
 "See here," he observed in his harsh domineering way, ''my son wants to marry Miss Boyd. Step aside, and do

The acreage planted to early pota- toes in six Southern states is estimated to be 1SS.e0Q, as compared with 161.- GOO in 1916-an increase of about r per cent. This estimate is based upon reports to the Truck Crop Specialist of the bureau of crop estimates from Virginia, North Carolina.

HARDY FoREsr LEES PREVENT aoLL EROsIoN.

Soi' washing by heavy rains is prob ably the most important cause of the loss of soil fertility on rolling upland farms. The amount of this loss is diff ficult to measure accurately. Figures obtained at the Missouri College of Agriculture at Columbia during the last two years indicate that as much as ! per cent of the really fertile soil may be lost in one year on q gently sloptng field if the surface is left bare. This means that continuous cultivation for one generation may result in the loss of all the fertile soil on even gently rolling land unless some measures are taken to restore it. On sleeper lands the loss is much more rapid.
 Some idea of the loss of plant food may be obtained by considering the loss of nitrogen. The supply of this element in the soil is contained in the organic or vegetable matter present, Nitrogen is made available for the use of plants by the decay of organic mat ter. It is estimated that per cent of the total amount present becomes available each year. 1t is this ? per cent which may he removed by the crops, by teaching and in the form of gas As the availability of the other elements of plant food in the soil is closely associated with the decay of or ganic matter, it is evident that the washing away of that part of the soil richest in organic matter results in a lack of all the really valuable soil plant food In addition to the loss of plant food the poorer physical eondi-

 The service suit is made of khaki, and it is good to look at, with conven- fence and grace and stability to appeal to the good sense of the out-of-doors woman.
