EARLY PLANTING

Behold the frost is on the wane,
Soon turns the crust to mud.
Get out, get out, my honest swain,
And plant the stringless spud!
Plant Early Rose or Peachblow beans
Plant bush or climbing beets;
For all this early planting means
Some grand autumnal eats!
Build ridges for the cabbage vine,
Sow turnips under glass,
The toothsome spinach root for mine
And seedless applesass.
Go drill the spineless Hubbard SQUASH

And raise lot Of grub!

DRIVING CATTLE BY MOTOR
Which May Sooner or Later Rele-
gate Broncho to Background.

A new use for a motorcar has been
found by a cattle dealer in n of The
middle western states, whose business
compels him TO drive extensive herds
of meat on the hoof along the roads,
says an exchange. During the hottest
part. of last summer this purveyor de-
te-mined to drive his animals by night
In order to spare them the inevitable
suffering that attended such operations
In the middle of the day. Getting in
his car, he started the herd ahead of
him in the road, and by throwing the
s~earchlight before and honking his
horn he kept the animals moving quick
ly in the compact mass.
There are instances of the use of
the mOtorcar in roundup work In the
far West, SO that the traditional pic
ture of a cowboy astride a bucking
broncho may have to give way to one
of that leather-breeched gentleman
cuddled down into the wheel of a fiex-
ible runabout, his lasso presumably
dangling over the windshield.

FOOD ORDERS ARE OBSERVED
nection With Lord Mayors Annual
Banquet at Mansion House.

At last the gaunt figure of famine
has stalked into the Mansion House
and edited the menu Of the lord may
or's banquet. There, everybody who
knows anything about English history
or about good eating, knows that the
center, the very palate, Of gourmand-
ise is situated, according to a London
correspondent.
THE British empire Is ransacked for
edibles and potables to furnish forth
this aldermanic holiday. And when
the OCCASIONS star guest, the premier,
rises to shake the pillars Of the world
with his address, the guests are often
in such a state Of torpor that they
have to scan the morning papers to
find out what he really said. But war
has changed all that. When the time
for this years banquet approached,
London's sensational press began TO
shout for a war menu so loudly that
his iordship had TO come out and as

Height Effects In AirpIainlnq.

Some effects Of airplane flights at
very high attitudes are described In n
recent English report. Height eff
fects' begin TO be felt at 10000 feet
and become marked in most cases from
1900 feet up. The principal difficult
ties are cold and lack of oxygen.
Strange to say, no airplane has yet
been devised on a plan which DELHI
erately utilizes the heat Of the engine
to keep the passengers warm. although
any tractor model has this effect TO
some extent. The matter OF oxygen
lis solved by taking a supply in a con-
tainer, which the aviator mixes with
air when he feels oppressed. It is
feared that flying at very high al
titudes, to be made possible In the fu-
ture by further development of mod
els, may produce a trouble analogous
to the bends" experienced by work
ers in compressed air caissons due to
the extreme pressure changes.

Climbers Imprisoned Atop Full.

The wisdom of erecting huts on Fuji
for refuge In case of sudden storms
of snow and rain was proved recently
when a violent fall of snow and hail
burst upon the crest Of the sacred
mountain. During two days more than
10000 climbed the mountain and sud-
den arrival of the storm caught sew
eral hundred of them upon the hilltop.
They sought safety In the numerous
refugees. When the storm burst the
police compelled all excursionlsts to
wait for better weather at Gotemba
and Tarobo. Relief parties were sent
nj but were unable to get through the
drifts. Anxiety was felt for the food
supply, but the Adventures came
down safely. For two days the peo-
pie In the NOW were incommuni-
cado, owing to the destruction of the
telephone wires. These will be buried
before next season.

HE GAINED PREMIER's EAR
Man Disrobed With Others to Receive
Free Treatment, and Appealed
for Position for Sister.

Clemenceau, beneath his brusque,
masterful, sarcastic and oft-cuttlng
speech, and In spite of the vitriolic
character of his writings, possesses an
exceedingly kind and charitable heart.
He is not rich, and therefore cannot
afford to give away much. But he has
made a point, both when In office and
each day to free medical advice to the
poor, never ~consenting to take a fee,
writes a Paris correspondent. His spe-
cialty is skin diseases, and his con-
s~ultation room is always crowded with
poor patients. One day when last In
Office as premier, being in a hurry. he
instructed his servant to tell the last
batch of his male patients to strip in
his ~ante-chamber, so as to save the
time of the undressing in the consult
ing room. One by one they were rap
idly prescribed for and sent on their
way, until only the last remained. He
presented himself in due course In an
extremely decollete conditiOn-without
a stitch Of clothing, and with every ap-
pearance of

low bow.

Plant Food Needed.

National Crop Improvement service.I
One thing is plain even with all
of our ,carelessness in farming. The
quality of Marquis Wheat is recog-
nized as superior to that OF all other
spring wheats grown, and it is up
TO us as farmers to keep this high
standard of excellence unsullied and
TO breed il up as we would breed up
our livestock.
Marquis Wheat owes its fine mill
ing qualities to the characteristics Of
our soil and climate. When our soil
was new and fertile almost n care
less process of farm work produced
good wheat, provided it was reason
ably cured at harvest time. This fav-
orable state Of the soil may, however,
not be expected to last except under
certain methods of crop rotation and
culture and replacement Of the ele-
ments of fertility removed by the
wheat.

Youth Reported Alleged Visit Of Band
II, But Later Was induced TO Pro-
duee Stolen JeweIry.

A thrilling story Of guns, masks and
robbery, which had stirred a country
neighborhood by its recital, melted into
the make-believe of a yello-back novel,
once investigators were on the job,
says the Indianapolis News. A talk
between two persons, which Is said
to have occurred behind a farmers
barn, led to the recovery Of loot In
the form of jewelry and a confession
from a boy, who reluctantly dragged
from his trousers pocket the remains
of a dollar bill.
Sheriff Coffin was called In by neigh
bors after the boy. whose name Is
purposely withheld, had communicated
to persons with whom he lived that
a very dark man. wearing a mask yer
his face. had visited his home while
he was alone that he had been threat
ened with a shotgun and, after rifing
the house, had forced the boy to leave
with him. About a mile from the
house, the boy related. the stranger
gave him 25 cents and told him to
keep his mouth shut" A duck and a
Belgian hare also were taken, the boy
declared.
When the sheriff arrived there was
a consultation behind the barn, and
when IL had been concluded the boy
dug the jewelry out Of the ground,
told his friends that he had sold the
duck at a nearby grocery for some
money; that the Belgian hare escaped
while he was on mis- way to the gro
Gerry, and that the masked man was
the creation of his wi imagination.
"Give him another chance" the sher-
if told the guardians of the hayward
boy. SHE won't do II again."
The boy nodded confirmation.

JerusaIem,s Great Walls.

After 1914 Jerusalem was under the
rule of the sultans of Egypt until the
year 1517, when Selim / conquered
both Palestine and Egypt. taking the
title of caliph, and carrying Off the
sacred banner of the Moslems to Con-
stantinople. Selim's son, Suleiman the
Magnificent, once more built the great
walls about Jerusalem. These walls

tions Of the city. But the great walls
bf Suleiman the Magnificent are only
the last Of a long series OF walls
which. time after time, have been
built only to be destroyed. The most
tragical destruction not only of the
walls, but also Of the whole city, was
that which was carried out by the Ro-
man armies Of Titus, In the year 70
q. our era. IN the reign Of the Emperos
VoGpasinn.

Sewing Machines In Arabia.

Sea ports and 200 In the Persian Gulf
district. There is also an increased

products now lead. Foot-power sew

A report is current In the county
Of two or three citizens who come I'M
der the government designation or
enemy aliens who did got register.
1t is stated by the officers that in each
case their condition is due to a mis-
understanding, as they supposed that
they were American citizens, and had
exercised the rights of citizens. They
came to this country when children,
and supposed their parents had com-
pleted legal naturalization. Their
case is considered a problem by the

The dimming of the white lights In
New York has brought the jokers to
the fore. Recently after the current

the big street with a lighted lantern.
He wendell his way across Broadway,
and after swinging the lantern about
his head much after the fashion Of
trainmen signaling, he continued up
the street. He had sown seeds that
began to sprout in many directions and
a few minutes later rival humorists
appeared with lanterns, electric fash
lights. and one optimist tried to keep

BUNT OR sTINKrNo SMUT.
We Can Win the War by Fighting
Grain Diseases.
National Crop Improvement serric..l

t~NaiiVuui Ntop IMPROVEMENT cefNiNc.
There should be no neglect in
treating seed wheat with formalde-
hyde. 1t pays. The crop is always
much improved in yield and quality
no matter whether the seed has smut
in it or not Formaldehyde improves
the first growth from the seed.
The small particles Of dark dust or
powder which come from the smut
balls, when busted upon the grains,
produce the disease in the crop the
following year.
The young plants are attacked just
rs they are coming through the soil.
Sinking smut does not remain in
the soil in the form to do any dam
age to following crops. except in
very dry countries.
1t has been said by some that seed
wheat that is two or three years old
will not produce smut even though
smutty. This is o true. Smutty
wheat kept two or three years pro-
duced as much smut as year old
wheat OF the same strain. The for
maldehyde treatment OF sprinkling or
by spraying has proven a perfect
success. There are also a number OF
smut treating machines on the mar
ket which do very satisfactory work.
Don't take any chances. Treat all OF
the seed wheat.
Obtain 40 per CEN formaidehyde
and mix it in 80 or IS gallons Of wa
ter in a barrel. Apply this solution
to the grain in any manner which al
lows ali the grains TO become moist
over their entire surface.
Sprinkling and shoveling is as eff
f~ective as dipping and more rapid.
A small hand pump will be found
very good for spraying. Place the
grain upon tight floor space or on
a canvas, spray or sprinkle on the
solution and shovel or rake over the
grain until il is moist enough to pack
in the hand. Cover it and leave it
piled a few hours before sowing.
A still better plan is to pour it over
your wheat in tubs. barrels or other
{ containers, which will allow the
trash, immature kernels, damaged
seeds and smut balls to rise to the
top and be SKINNED off. The fluid
mixture can be used over and over
again. Do not do this work in freez-
ing weather. Test out your grain
drill to see that it is properly set in
case the grain is swelled.
1t takes about Y of a gallon OF the
solution to every bushel of wheat,
and | to IN gallons to every bushel
of oats or barley.

is investigating the possibilities Of
commercial alcohol in place Of gaso-
line as a fuel for internal eombus-

They find that an engine can easily
be run on alcohol and that Its thermal
efficiency, when so rum, is somewhat
higher than with gasoline fuel. How
ever, they also find that alcohol must
be far cheaper by the pound than gaso-
line, and somewhat cheaper by the
