hands and turned away.
Her eyes followed him, vital, dyna-
mic American who would do big, law
less things to- the day Of his death.
She sighed. He had been a great fig
ure in her life, and now he had passed
out of it.
AS soon as she was alone with Di-
ane, her Irish cousin dropped the little
bomb she had up her sleeve.
"Im going to be married Thursday,
Dr."
Mrs. Paget embraced her for the
tenth time within an hour. She was
very fond of Sheba, and she had been
on great strain concerning her safety.
That out of her danger had resulted
the engagement Diane had hoped for
was surplusage of good luck.
"You lucky, sensible girl"
Sheba assented demurely. II do
think I'm sensible as well as lucky. 1t
isn't every girl that knows the right
man for her even when he wants her.
But know at last. He's the man for

And who are you going to have here?"
"Just the family. I've invited two

can't get along without the BRIDE

Diane looked at her, for the moment

out at last. $50 it's Gordon, is it7

"And Colby Macdonald-doe he un-

Diane flashed suspicious look of

Diane Changes Her. Mind.

The news of Sheba's safety had
been telephoned to Diane from the
roadhouse, so that all the family from
Peter down We're on the porch to vel
come her with mingled tears and
kisses. Since Gordon had to push on
to the hospital to have Holt taken care
of, it was Macdonald who brought the
girl home. The mine-owner declined
rather brusquely an invitation to stay
to dinner on the plea that he had bust

SOLDIER WINS IN BIG BOUT
Caddock Put Yussif Hussane OF the
Mat in Straight Falls at
Kansas City.

Kansas City, Mo-. May T. Sergt.
Earl Caddock, U. S. A., champion
wrestler, defeated Yussif Hussane, the
Bulgarian, here last night, in straight
falls. He scored the first fall in 1890
with a head scissors and bar arm.
The second fall lasted 6:25. Caddock
used the same holds to reach the sec
ond decision. The ease with which he
overturned the huge mountain of flesh
and bone from Bulgaria indicated that
the big national army soldier spent the
time in the first bout in feeling out
his man. Caddock did all the leading
and had his opponent off the mat and
out of the ring twice in the first bout.
On one of these occasions Hussane
palpably played for time to gain his
breath and strength and the audience
Kissed him. He payed no attention to
this display of popular disfavor but
calmly wiped the sweat from his eyes
and remained inactive. He was. no
match for the cleverer Caddock.

Residence of Nelson Hart Daubed
With Paint Recently.

Hedrick, May S.-The home of Mel.
son Hart, on Spring street, was badly
daubed with yellow paint by un-
known parties recently, presumably
because Mr.. Hart had failed to buy
any Liberty bonds or help the Red
Cross, Y. NJ G.. A. or give any other
help to war work. Mr.. Harris quota
had been placed at $500. and he had
been solicited by Chairman Bowlin,
but he seemed to treat the matter as
joke. and kept putting the matter
off. Mr.. Bowlin told him on Friday
that he would have to report the mat.
ter in to the federal authorities on q
yellow card. but Hart said he would
make his explanation to the federal
authorities, then.
Mr.. Hart claims he did not under.
stand that he would be compelled to
buy, and as he had his money all
loaned out. he had no loose money to
invest. He also claims that he did
not even know that Mr.. Bowlin had
any authority in the matter. He says
il he had understood fully, he would
have subscribed.

HOW TO INCREASE YOUR
GRAIN CROPS
A Simple Method

When one stops to think and reason
out the direct nitrogen feeding method,
1t seems so simple that we wonder how
1t could. be that we have not thought
of it before, and why We have not made
it common practice.
Only a few of the crops we com
monty plant are of the legume family.
But the non-legumes, such as the small
grains, corn, and sorgums, etc, are
shallow rooted plants, and soon take
from the first six inches of our soil,
much of the available plant food. We
know that the non-legume crops make
a much better growth, when they fol-
low, say, alfalfa, beans or peas.
We know, but seldom take advant-
age of our knowledge that if we
planted the deep roofing legumes like
alfalfa, clovers, beans or peas, inter-
cropped with our grains cotton, trees,
and in fact all of our non legumes, we
would receive a wonderful benefit from
the extra amount of plant food brought
up from below along the course of the
legume roots. When the legumes have
full quota of bacteria attached to
their roots, their nodules are constant
ly throwing into the soil. a large
amount of pure fixed nitrogen. This
nitrogen is one of the most important
of all the plant foods, and our govern
ments laboratories and other labora-
tories. have found that in our valley,

FINANCE AND
MARKETS


NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Sentiment as
expressed by traders was bearish at
the outset OF today's brief and super
fetal stock market, coppers and rails,
the latter mainly on the low grade
variety, recording further irregular
losses.
Utilities as represented by Mackay
companies, Twin City Transit and
Brooklyn Transit also dropped one to
three points, with Pressed Steel and
National Lead. In most instances.
however, theselosses were largely, if
not wholly, retrieved before the close,
the strength Of shipping, oils, General
Electric, American Can and Tobaccos
and Motors serving to effect gen.
eral readJustment of quotations at the
firm close. Sales amounted to 215,000
shares.
Mercantile agencies reported con-
flicting conditions at leading centers
of trade, but the enormous gains
shown in bank clearings at important
reserve cities testified to the activity
Of holiday business.
Features of the local bank statement
embraced a very moderate increase in
actual loans and discounts, an increase
of almost 5000, 900 in net demand
deposits anda decrease of $30,750,000
in excess reserves, reducing the total
excess to slightly less than 10000, 900.
Bonds were steady on very limited
dealings, none of the important do
nestle or foreign issues recording
more than trivial changes. Total
sales (par value) aggregated $4,375,00G
Old United States bonds were IN
changed on call during the week.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE securi-
ties market this week reflected more
clearly tho many unprecedented and
intricate problems which surround
financial, industrial and general eco
homie conditions as n result of the
conclusion of the war.
The most disturbing development in
Wall Streets view was the McAdoo
plan to extend federal control of the
railroads to a period of five years
This suggestion was received with
marked disfavor by many bankers and
executives, who were constantly in
terested in the indications thatearly
action opposing the plan would be
taken in congress.
Although theWar industries board is
committed tothe policy of cancelling
and reducing contracts with the least
disturbance, the early dissolution of

nitrogen is the limiting factor of plant
food.
The absence of nitrogen in our soil
need not cause US to worry as this ele-
ment of plant food is the easiest
quickest and least costly, of all the
plant foods, to replace in our soil. This
is done by inoculating the legume seed
before sowing. 1t is then We receive
the full advantage of planting the deep
roofing food gathering legumes, COM
bined with nitrogen, which they take
from some $4,000 tons available above
each acre.
If you will phone me, 4457 Phoenix,

with ore drilling, say 20 pounds of

RAINCOAT FRAUDS.
Forming a Corporation to Secure

New York, Oct 17.-At the trial of
Felix Gouled, jobber in army rain
coat contracts, and David l.. Podell a
lawyer, before Federal Judge Cush-
man yesterday Harry Rosenfeld,
raincoat manufacturer of 1852 Fourth
avenue. told of his efforts to get an
army contract. After his bids were
rejected by the quartermasters de-
partment Rosenfeld negotiated with
Gouled under instructions from the
department of justice. Gouled and
Podell are accused of conspiring to
defraud the government
Rosenfeld said Gouled asserted he
could get a contract for 100, 90 rain
coats for an Incorporated partnership
in which each should have a half in
profits should be taken by Gouled be-
fore the division. The witness testi-
fed that Gouled took him to the of

Podel, according to Rosenfield, to
draw an agreement to onceal the 5
per cent allotment, saying he was not
to benefit through the money and did
not wish to pay the income tax upon
it.
"You will have to let me think
about it, PodeN said according to
Rosenfield. Its a very tedious thing:
to monkey around with the govern
ment."
Rosenfield also testified Gouled
took him on June II to the Office in
Greene street of Martin Steinthal, a

robes. Be said that when Gouled
came out OF Steinthal's office he

see this? 1 am not going to get q
cent of it. This is all for somebody
else.
They were driven to the Office of
the quartermaster's department, at

witness said, went into the building
alone.

PAROLES NEWBERRY
SCANDAL WITNESSES
judge Refuses to Free Them From
Commitment Decree

New York, Oct. 17.-Judge Henry
d. Clayton in the Federal District
Court dismissed yesterday the writs
of habeas corpus issued for Allan A.
Templeton, Frank w. Blair and
Thomas P. Phillips, Detroit witnesses,
who refused to testify before FEEDER
al Grand Jury in relation to the cam
paign of Lieutenant-C Commander Tru-
man H. Newberry for the Republican
nomination for Senator in Michigan.
The court sustained the commitment
of the three men to the Ludlow street
Jail as contumacious witnesses, but pa
rolled them, pending an appeal to the
United States Supreme Court by Mar
tin w. Littleton, their counsel.
In obtaining the parole of the wit
nesses, Mr.. Littleton promised to have
the appeal papers ready in 20 days.
The court required the defendants to
rise and with appraised hand pledge
to forfeit $4,000 each if they do not
appear when summoned.
Templeton, president of the Detroit
Seamless Tube Company; Blair, presi-
dent of the Union Trust Company of
Detroit, and Phillips, q newspaper
man, refused to testify about the
Newberry campaign committee or
the Federal corrupt practices act of
1910, which with the statute against
perjury was named in the subpoenas,
is unconstitutional.
1t was argued that a Grand Jury in
vestigation based on an unconstitu-
tional statute was invalid and that in
filing statements of expenditures I'M
der the same statute perjury could
not have been committed.
Judge Clayton held that it was not
within his province to pass upon the
constitutionality of a law in a habeas
corpus proceeding. He said that the
Supreme Court Of the United States
had repeatedly declared that a hear
ing on o writ of habeas corpus is not
in the nature of q proceeding based
on a bill of error or q substitute for
q. trial.
The court declared that it's duty was
simply to determine whether the pc
titioners had been deprived of their
liberty illegally He said the witnesses
were summoned in legal manner to
appear before q Grand Jury engaged
in an inquiry under lawful forms
They were informed Of their righs
and told that the investigation was
not directed against them.
Judge Clayton added that the one
ground upon which the witnesses
might have refused to testify was the
fear that their testimony might incri-
inmate them.
The Grand Jury inquiry was not
cut short by the refusal of the New
berry men to testify. A number of
witnesses have testified since Temple
ton, Blair and Phillips were presented
to Judge Edward e. Cushman, who
committed them as contumacious
witnesses
