The task of thinning seems use
less one to an amateur, but experience
soon teaches that, if one would have
vegetables of normal size, they must
have room in which to grow. We can
be guided, to a great extent, by our
common sense and a knowledge of the
size of the vegetable in question, but
few general rules may be of assist
ance at this point.
Leaf lettuce should have space of
six inches between plants; head let
tuce needs at least ten inches Choose
the plants you wish to have attain
their full growth. A small stick be-
side each plant will answer the pur-
pose of a marker. AS you thin the
rows, use the unmarked plants for the
table, while they are small. If you
wish to have well-bleached, solid heads
of lettuce, tie the outer leaves togethr
with a strip of cloth (string will cut
them) when they begin to form the
head. Be sure that the leaves lap
we'll over the top, for this prevents the
sun from penetrating the interior, and
produces an abundance of crisp, white
leaves.
Radishes should be thinned to one
inch apart; choose the larger ones for
pulling as soon as they are big enough
to eat, rather than the smaller ones /;
note that the reverse obtains with let
tuce. The small radishes are left to
be used when they shall have attained
the proper size The same rule applies
to onions. Leave the ones which are
to grow to full size, four inches apart
Carrots require a space of three inch
es; parsley, satisfy, parsnips and
Swiss chard, six inches apart; beets,
four inches; peas. from two to four
inches. Use the tops of the young

beets as they are thinned out, they
make delicious green's.
Beans should not be thinned until
all danger from the cutworm is past;
they should stand six inches apart.
The cutworm is the first of the insect
pests we meet in the garden, and it is
well to be prepared for him. He is a
small, earth-colored worm, who works
just below the surface of the ground,
cutting completely around the stalk of
the plant. If you notice plant begin
ming to wither, look for him and kill
him. To protect the rest of the gar
den from the ravages of his numerous
family, prepare a bran mash and ap-
ply to the roots of the plants, prefer
ablf in the evening, as the cutworm is
a night worker. To make this bran
mash, thoroughly mix a half-teaspoon-
full of paris green and one pint of
bran; add one-half tablespoonful of
molasses and enough water to moisten.
Cutworms are partial to beans; watch
these plants for the first signs.
AS soon as the weeds begin to ap-
pear, pull them while they are young;
be sure to remove the root as well as
the top. otherwise they will spring up
again with renewed vigor. We are
fortunate with regard to weeds, as
they are the exception, and not the
rule, in this country "a weed is any
plant out of place. wise gardener
tells us. Sometimes seeds from last
years garden sprout, or flower seeds
scattered by the wind, modest the or
derby rows-but these should receive
the same treatment as if they were
obnoxious weeds. Bermuda grass will
often spread and take possession of a
garden plot, unless we get rid of it
early in the season. Eternal vigil
lance Is the price of liberty" with this
pest.

FRIGHTENED, worried, sick at
heart because her crowding doubts
and suspicious had suddenly de-
veloped into black certainty just when
she had thought them dead forever,
Billy Louise rode up the narrow,
rocky gorge. She had come to have a
vague comprehension of the tempta-
ton Ward must have felt. She had
come to accept pityingly the possibility
that the canker of old influences had
eaten more deeply than appeared on
the surface. She had set herself
stanchly beside him as his friend, who
would help him win back his self
respect. She felt sure that he must
suffer terribly with that keen, analyti-
cal mind of his, when he stopped to
think at all. He had no warped ethics
wherewith to ease his conscience. She
knew his ideas of right and wrong
were as uncompromising as her own,
and If he stole cattle, he did it with
his eyes wide open to the wrong he
was doing. And yet
'aThat's bad enough, but to try and
fasten evidence on someone else II
Billy Louise grftted her teeth over the
treachery of it. She believed he had
done that very thing. How could she
help it? She had seen the corral and
had seen Ward ride away from it in
the dusk of the evening; or she be-
lieved she had seen him, which was
the same thing. And she knew what
lay behind him. Was his version Of
the past after all the correct one?
Might not the paragraph she had
burned been nothing more than the
truth?
Billy Louise fought for him; fought
with her stern, youthful judgment
which was so uncompromising. 1t takes
years of close contact with life to
give one a sure understanding of hui
man weakness and human endeavor.
At the ford, when Blue would have
crossed and taken the trail home, Billy
Louise refined him impulsively the
other way. Until that instant she had
not intended to seek Ward, but once
her fingers had twitched the reins
against Blues neck, she did not hest
tate; she did not even argue with her.
self. She just glanced up at the sum-.

kicking when you found I'd cut the
rope so it wouldn't hold your rotten

"You throw that gun on the bed"
Chilly Louise did SO, her eyes still
upon Wards flushed face.) "Now, get
down that tablet from the shelf
Here's a pencil" He drew one from
under his pillow and tossed it toward
her. "Now you write the truth about
all this rustling. It's bigger thing
than shows right in this neighborhood.

to have been satisfied with that-but

out, and when saw some Of his stock

it was opened, knew he was "a crook.

need: don't leave out anything. Dates
and all, want the whole graft. Don't
try to get away. I've got this gun
loaded to the guards, and you know
I'm aching for an excuse" He
stopped and coughed again, hoarsely,
rackingly. Then he lay quiet, except
for his rasping breath and watched
Billy Louise, with the tablet on her
trembling knees, pretended to write.
From under her lashes she watched
Ward curiously. She saw his attention
wayer, saw his eyes wander aimlessly
about the room. She sat very still
and waited, making scrawly marks
that had no meaning at all. She saw
Wards fingers loosen on the revolver,
saw his head turn YEARLY on the pill
low. He was staring out through the
window at the brilliant blue of the
sky with the dazzling white clouds
drifting like bits Of cotton to the north
ward. He had forgotten her.

CHARGES DEATH TO SAVE men
American Staff Officer Falls MortaIIy
Wounded in Gallant Action in
Lorraine.

With the American Army in Lor-
raine.-The fighting on the new Amer
ican front in Lorraine was featured by
the gallant action of an American
staff officer.
When the officer saw there was
danger of part of his advancing forces
being outf1anked by German machine
gunners he personally led his men in a
charge against the guns.
He captured one gun himself and
his men took the others. The officer
was wounded, probably mortally.
The officers troops belonged TO the
division operating on the eastern wing
of the American offensive sector. They
had taken the village of NOrroy and
were pressing onward in the face Of
opposition from machine gun nests.
The irregular advance suddenly ex-
posed one unit to flanking fire and
the officer forgot that he as stan
officer was supposed to stay away fsoin
the fighting and rushed in.

German Is Found in California Who

Modesto, Cal.-One man, and a Ger

mits that he did not know the United
States was at war with Germany, ac-
cording to Lester Ball, deputy United
States marshal. Ball, in relating the
incident, said:
81 got an old German near Ply
mouth, Amador county, indicted on a
charge of sedition and dislOyalty to
the United States. When 1 told him
what he was charged with he ex-
pressed great surprise and stated in
broken English that he did not know
the United States was engaged in war
against his native land"
''VOt did l abOud such var know?
Ven did dis country fight init der
kaiser and Why? Nobody told me
about it already and 1 haf nuddings
on dis country. Indid nudding," said
the old German, whom Ball charac-
terized as knave.
