The alleged Teuton agent was
caught yesterday trying TO fire an
army magazine within the importan,
naval zone at Hampton Roads. He
had been trailed long by intelligence
men and justice department agents.
They followed him at social functions
and In his journeys TO Camp Meade.
Md. and other points.
Tho he wore the uniform OF the
L. $. army. the men logging him
penetrated the disguise. and. never
letting him out OF their sight. finally
tralled him TO the magazine near
Newport News. where II Is claimed
he tried to blow Il up.
A Woman In Case
a beautiful woman is said TO have
been his undolng. tho officials are
reticent TO reveal what part she
played in his detection.
Documents found on Sporemann
when arrested in Virginia indicated
that he had an alliance with the no
torious Boyd. German military at.
tache. that he was well supplied with
the kaiser's funds. and that he
worked with the aid Of prominent
persons. including one woman.
Sporemann's brother, Frederick. was
arrested here last night as an enemy
alien. and IL said TO have revealed
important information about Walter,
whom he disliked.
As officials pieces together the re-
markable tale surrounding Walter
Sporemann's activities. II runs like
this:
Came Here In 1910
Coming here from Bremen in 1910,
he established n residence In this
city. Before the war he apparently
established relations with Boy.Ed.
getting thousands Of dollars from
him to finance his German work.
When war with Germany broke
out, Sporcmann gathered in several
army uniforms. which. with a Ger.
man army suit. were found In his
room here.
But not until some weeks ago did
his work attract particular attention.
Then II is claimed his uniform and
the woman with whom he associated
formed a combination OF circum.
stances which uncovered his role.
At that time he was evidently gath.
ering data about Camp Meade. De.
tectives trailed him. finally tracing
him TO Newport News. There he
readily found work at the aviation
field. and. IL IN said, made one UNI
successful attempt to blast the mag
azine. Sentries fired on him. but he
returned the following day.
An officer making has way past

starting with Bees.

The best place to buy bees Is near
home. There are hundreds of colonies
In almost every county which are un-
productive and which might better
change hands, bee specialists Of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture believe. II the prospective bee
keeper does not know where these are,
a small advertisement In a local paper
will often locate them. II colonies can
not be found near by they can be
bought Of dealers inebees who adver-
tise in the bee journals.
The best hive for all parts of the
country is the 1O-frame Langstroth.
which is the American standard. II
possible buy bees already established
In these hives but If only other hives
are available the bees can later be
transferred to the desired hive.
An advantage in buying bees locally
Is that the bees are usually delivered
by their former owner. II 1t is nee
essary for the beginner to go for the
bees the hive should be securely closed
with wire cloth just before dark when
the bees are all In the hive. plenty of
ventilation being provided. Usually
the hive cover Is removed and the top
of the hive covered with wire cloth.

WELL PUT.

WELL PUT.
"Down with the liquor traffic, and
up with the liquor dealer" Is the pur-
pose that animates the men and wom-
en- who are working for prohibition.
says the Union Signal. In all their
holy war they keep in mind not only
the salvation of the men who have
been or may be tempted by liquor but
the redemption as well Of individuals
engaged In the trade by forcing them
by law to engage In some business that
will permit them to recover their self
respect and earn clean money. The
attention Of those misinformed people
who waste sympathy on the poor
liquor dealer whose business prohibit
tion Is supposed to destroy should be
directed to some of the many enter
prises that are taking the place of the
old breweries and distilleries.
Especially notable is the success of
the former Coors Brewery of Colorado.
As a beer factory it had a capital of
10000; as q manufacturer Of matted
milk and pottery, it enjoys a trade Of
$4,000. 1t formerly had one sales
man where now it keeps twenty-eight
busy. 1t had payroll Of eighty, and
now has one Of 200, all receiving
rs per cent better pay. 1t would not
be difficult to multiply similar in
stances in other prohibition states.
Be assured that every one who helps
to secure for the state or the nation
the adoption of prohibition. thereby
forcing the liquor dealers to seek a
decent and more lucrative means Of
livelihood, is placing them under
debt Of eternal gratitude.

Look to 1919 Seed Now.

To be prepared for possible scar
city Of seed next year, growers of root
crops Of all kinds would do well to
take steps to insure at least a partial
supply by growing seed themselves,
specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture advise. This
can be done only by the use Of roots
already grown and now in the ground
or held in storage. Such crops rs car
rots, beets, onions, turnips. Eutabagas.
parsnips and satisfy are involved,
owing to unfavorable weather condi-
lions so far this year in regions where
the chief seed supply Of these crops
is produced. This fact. together with
the uncertainty Of the usual European
sources, which cannot be relied upon
to supply us. threatens a very consid-
cradle shortage for next years plant
ing. Since 1t takes two years to pro-
duce these seeds, this shortage can
only be alleviated by the planting for
seed Of roots already grown. Farmers

HoNEY's CHANCE TO HELP
INCREASE SUGAR SUPPLY.

The average annual honey

about 25O. 1000. 600 pounds and Is
sufficient to supply each man.
woman and child with about IN
pounds q year, which Is eQuiva-
lent to 8 per cent Of the amount
Of sugar they consume in nor
NAL time. Thus there Is ample.
room for expansion Of both the
production and consumption.
The present use Of honey in the
home usually Is as a substitute
for jellies, jams and strip. It Is
little used in domestic cooking
or baking, but this use should be
increased. While honey within
recent years has sold at prices
sufficiently low to justify its
use as a substitute for sugar. It
Is rarely used in commercial
food manufacturing except in
the making of certain cakes
which must be kept moist for a
considerable time. Usually.
however. the supply Of honey is
30 inadequate that most Of the
crop can be used as a spread for
bread. With the use limited as
1t is, many people in the United

veloped ready sale for honey
as supplement to sugar. II pro-
