CHAPTER XIII.
4 Make Mccain Prisoner.


It was evident enough in my mint

liberately, yet with no clear plan OF
action in my mind. At that moment
Olson sang out some order from the
rail overhead, and I could hear the
hustle of the watch along the blacl
deck.
My eyes distinguished no figures, but
suddenly blaze of lightning seemed
to rip the sky asunder, and, in the
swift, CHASTITY glare, l perceived tive
human figures against the starbOar(
rail, safe from observation beneath s
boat swung in davits. The man direct

of the two men, the position chosen

The response was cheerful enough,
and | crossed the deck to where Olson
stood, in somewhat better frame Of
mind
You are not exactly holding to the
course, Mr.. Olson" said, but not un-
kindly, "and Sim1ns tells me you
thought it best not to shake out an
other reef in the jib''
"It would only strain the old hooker
to buck these seas, sir" he replied,
"and as you had no observation,
hardly thought a point or two would
make much difference"
"Nor does it; only I prefer to be
consulted on such matters hereafter.
You must have had some other rea-
son?''
He glanced about to make sure of
our distance from the men at the
wheel.

"IIe has, sir. Simms just told. me

"Well, then, listen to me, Mr.. Olson,

served before the mast, Mr.. Olson, and

grow ugly"

advantage. I'll return to the main

Russians to be Pitled..

Poor old Russia deserves contempt
and pity at the same time. While the
Russians forsook their friends, yet the
latter owe much to Russia. Had not
the Russians engaged the Germans on
the eastern front for many months,
probably two years altogether, the
Germans would have made their tre-
mendous drives upon the western front
earlier. While the Germans were
butchering the Russians the Allies
were preparing as Germany had done
q generation ago. Let US look with
charity upon what appears to be
very contemplate course on the part
of Russia, making q separate peace
with the enemy.

BOILED OATS FOR CHICKENS
Favorable Results Obtained by Penn
sylvanIa Department Of Aerl.
culture-Feed Warm.


Poultry experts in the Pennsylvania
department of agriculture report favor
able results from feeding boiled oats,
and state they are the cheapest poultry
food now obtainable. Boiled oats have
largely, too, superseded the sprouted
oats so much exploited a few years
ago, as they are better, safer and less
fusSy.
To prepare, soak good, heavy oats
IL hours or more Tin hot weather or,
warm room a fresh lot should be
soaked daily, dissolve one tablespoon
full Of salt in each bucket of water
used for this. boil two or three hours
and so gauge the amount OF water
used for soaking that at the finish the
water is boiled away. Feed warm but
not hot. White Leghorn pullets can
have these boiled oats twice daily, say
at 10 a. m. and p. M, and all they
will eat up clean. For old hens or
heavyweight pullets, ore feed a day
is enough and not no much at that,
lest they become tG1 fat on this much
liked feed.

Price Not to be Fixed.

During the past 10 days there have
been sharp fluctuations in the cotton
market, marked by steady decllne'
IS result of rumors that the war In
dustries board would fix the price now
of cotton.
Senator E. D. Smith, who has de-
voted so much time and attention to
agriculture and to cotton in particular
as to have been dubbed by some
-s'Cotton" Smith, states unequivocally
that the price of cotton will not be
fixed by congress. The bills that have
been introduced looking TO that end
will, in his opinion, never he discussed,
much less reach final passage. Sena-
tor Smith says, "No bill fixing the
price of cotton will pass this congress,
unless prices of every other article OF
commerce in America are also fixed. -
We believe Senator Smith cen make
good" in the effectiveness of this state
ment should persistent effort be
made to fix the price of cotton.

CAREFUL ESTIMATE OF FEED
II Bran and Shorts Are Used Freely
In Dry Mash They VIII Take
Place of Grains.

One is compelled these days to make
pretty careful estimates in regard to
kinds Of feed for chickens. 1t seems
that bran and shorts are cheap as any
thing on the market. If these are used
freely in q dry mash with cornmeal,
making the shorts the predominant
part, the mixture will largely take the
place of cracked grains. 1t can be fed
in self-feeders. 1t Is q good mixture
for growing chicks whether or not
cracked grains are used, and can prof
itably be kept before them all the
time.

Those who do not serve in the army

ways of serving at home that which

is the Liberty Bond issue. The people
of America should not be satisfied with
barely subscribing the three billions of
dollars. Let US raise the spirits of our
army, and correspondingly depress the
spirits of the enemy, by going far be-
yond the amount asked as third Lib

SHOULD RETAIN BEST FOWLS
Patriotic Farmers Who Desire TO Do
Their Bit Will Find 1t Wise to
Keep Best Layers.

Among farmers generally it is the
common practice to sell hens over
year old for poultry when they stop
laying in the fall. Under the usual con-
ditlons this is good policy, for as a
rule only about half the flock lay well
enough the second year to be profit
able, and the farmer who has pullets
enough to replace all his. old hens sees
no advantage in keeping any Of them
over.
This year, however, patriotic farm
ers who desire to do their part to In
crease the poultry and egg supplies
will find it desirable to retain consfd-

KEEPING MALES IN SAME PEN
Not Wise Plan to Permit Two Roos.
te@a With Hens-Use Them on
Alternate Days.

1t is not best to allow two males In
the same pen together. If it becomes
necessary to keep more than one In
the same pen, only one should be al
lowed with the hens the same day.
It is a good plan to let one run with
the hens and the other one the next
day. The male should be kept in a
pen by himself when he Is not with
the hens.

man Should Gull Out and Dis
pose of All Runts.

Now that poultry feeds, like all other
feeds, are high in price, the poultry
keeper should be more careful than
ever to Gull out and dispose Of all
runts, weak specimens and those which
are in any way deformed. While these
are allowed in the flock, they are con-
suming food and using coop and house
room which could be more proftably
devoted to strong, more perfect stock.

JOHNSTON LETTER.

One Of the Johnston bows, Gary
Horne, is first rorn't There are
25 in the band and the homes OF
the people here will entertain these
Young soldiers during their stay
No doubt there will be very large
crowd on this important occasion.
In the matter Of the Liberty
Loan, the town is putting forth It's
best endeavor, and men and women
are equally alike trying to do their
very best. They are realizing that
dollars are soldiers too Each
one may think his own small, but
by each doing his or her share, the
war oowill haye sufficient backing.
As a patriot, one can no more keep
out of these drives thsn if soldier
one would refuse to go over tine
top into No Mans Land.
As there are four federated clubs
here, there is a large representation
this week at the State Fed
Grafton in Aiken. With the con-
venlence of cars, there are also 9th
ers interested attending the busl-
ness sessions.
MIR. Grady Satcher, who will go
to Camp Gordon soon, is spending
3 few days at his home here.
MIR. Willie Lee Wright will soon
be stationed in camp at Florida.
Or. J. w. Mobley, of Milledge-
vile, Ca, is visiting his father, Dr.
S. &. Mobley.
Mr.. w. w. Satcher has sold his
home in west Johnston, to Mr..
Fulmer, and he contenplates at a
later date to make his home in
North Augusta. Mr.. Fulmer is not
to have possession until Jan. lst,
1919. 1t will be matter OF deep
regret to all to have this estimable
family make their home elsewhere.
The Emily Geiger chapter, D. A.
R., met with Mrs. Bessie P. Bean
on Monday afternoon, Mrs. w. 5.
Mobley, presiding. A communica-
tion was read from Mrs. Mary h.
BOYD, asking the chapter for an
other contribution Of jelly for the
Base Hospital, Columbia. The
state chapters are divided into
groups of 90, to facilitate the mat
ter of collecting jelly, and it is
hoped that every four months a con-
tribution will be sent. This chap
ter voted to do this and the commit
tee to make the canvasses. is
Mesdames. Bean, F. M. Boyd and
NJ. T. Turner. Mrs. y. D. Black,
Historian, requested the members
to respond to roll call with some.
thing concerning the topic of the
afternoon. The matter of having
pictures taken of the chapter en-
gagged in Red Cross work, was dis
cussed, and when conditions are
favorable, this will be done. The
request had come from Headquar-
ters and some of the pictures will
appear in D. A. R. magazine.
The subject for the literary pro-
gram was The men who defended
their country by tongue and per"
and Miss Zena Payne gave the pa.
per on this subject. The two chief
men of the Revolutionry period
told of in the paper, were Patrick
Henry, the Orator of the Revolu-
tion," and Samuel Adams, the fire
brand of the Revolution" Each
member gave a current event. AT
ter adjournment. the hostess served
delicious strawberry cream and
cake.
Dr.. G. P. Corn is very sick and
a trained nurse has been called to
attend him. A special visit from
a physician of Augusta was made the
first of the week.
Mrs. Ona Denny Reese, of Sa-
has been for a visit to
friends here.
