WARD GETS REQUEST
 OF S25O,OOO

Boston. Mass. Dec. PA few years ago a housemaid; now a wealthy wo- man in the Roxbury section of Bos- ton and owner of the home in which she formerly worked. This is the Christmas fortune of Miss Anna Me Nevin, as $25O.0O0 has been bequeath- ed to her by her late employer, Miss Mary C. Knight.
 Twenty-Five years ago 8 slip of a girl knocked at the door of the big residence at 46 Perrin street, Rox- bury, and timidly applied for a chance to do housework or any odd jobs that might be open to her. The girl said her name was Agnes McNevtn. The butler, who answered the doorbell, took the messa ge to Mrs. Knight, and as luck would have it she had been looking for a maid for months.
 So the girl was engag ged and soon won a regular place in the house by her diltgent attention to duty. She gradually rose to the position of Knight in 1908 Miss AIcNevin became q companion to the widow.
 As time passed Mrs. Knight depend ed more and more upon the counsel and advice of the girl. It is reported Miss AIcNevin denied herself several opportunities of getting married in order that she might better serve her mistress
 In October of this year Mrs. Knight died. In recognition of loyal service and companship Miss AcNevin was made chief beneficiary in the will.

SAVED IN A SEAPLANE AT
 NIAGARA'S EDGE

New York, Dec. 2T-DetaiIs of a marvellous escape from being plunged in his flying boat over Niagara Falls gently by Major Sidney E. Parker at the American Flying Club from Capt. Talbot G. Wilcox.
 During the last three months these two aviators have covered 13,OO0 miles in flying boat air trips over New York State and parts of Canada. Capt. Wilcox remained at Niagara Falls and his companion came here for the holidays.
 Capt. Wilcox gave an exhibition flight a few days ago, starting on the the falls. The boat contained a new engine which began to miss a few seconds after the flyer had taken the air.
 The aviator glided down the river. A swift current that Careened it against ice cakes sped the craft to- ward the falls Without oars the Captain could only make desperate efforts to restore the engines to good working condition.
 AutOmObi bilists on the shore h0nked horns to attract help for the aviator. Capt. Wilcox and his machine seemed doomed and were almost at the brink of the falls when the flying boat sud- denly was swerved against Goat Island upon which il stranded.
 Capt. Wilcox and his plane were lowed ashore.

SEEKING LOST
 CONTINENT IN
 PACIFIC OCEAN

Buenos Aires, Dec. 27.-Evidence Of a lost continent in the Pacific Ocean, a 5000 mile prehistoric bridge" of land between South America and Hawaii long submerged, is being sought by an American scien- tist, William AIanson Bryan, profes- sor of Zoology and Geology in the college of Hawaii, who left Honolulu last June on his remarkable quest.
 pr. Bryan, who came to Argentina of South America, where he studied about to return to Valparaiso where he will board a ship for the little isl and Of Juan Fernandez, 400 miles out The island is inhabited by a small colony of fishermen and their families.
 "In the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Science" said the professor, T was surprised a year ago to dis cover certain little fresh water mol fuses from Juan Fernandez that were eXtraor dinariIy similar in their char acteristics to certain molIuscs in Ha- waii. So determined to visit the island, study those shells and it's entire flora and fauna.
 If the Juan Ferndanez moIluscs should proved to be closely allied with those of Hawaii, pr. Bryan ex- plained in an addTesss here. it would prove that land connection had exist ed, as the species must have travel led from Juan Ferndanez to Hawaii or vice versa, in the rivers of the pre- historic continent.

With capital and labor both ready to do their bit said RaouI Peret chairman of the appropriation com 1aittee of the Chamber of Deputies, to The Associated Press, "a1I that re- mains to enable us 10 get firmly on our feet is for the world to give our money something like an equal show in all markets"
 French observers regard it as ex- tremely important that France shall be enabled to purchase raw materials on an equitable basis. They say this is shown by the fact that before the war three-fftfs of her exported goods were rnanufa cured objects and that this proportion must be increased in the future to make up for the loss of the market for wines and spirits in the future America and Russia which formerly constituted the important share of the total of French eX- ports.
 Revenue from tourists which was a potent aid toward maintaining the equilibrium of the franc until the war has not yet given the expected help Indications are seen of an in Aux of foreign visitors early in the new year but present disposition in official circles seems to be not to wait for it's development but to take measures to improve all needs inde- pendently of this source of income.
 Economists and fnanciers who have weighed all the elements of the situatio admit that France still is in a most difficult situation but see in- dicattons of great improvement be- fore. the end of another year.

 Prof. De Bokker assigned the gift to MT. Dunn and asked him to pre- sent it to Rev. Dr. Patrick J. HeaJy who was one of his former pupils and is now director of studies at the Catholic University.

YORK HOUSE GOES
TO PRICE OF WALES
GIFT OF KING GEORGE ON 25TH
BIRTHDAY.

London, May.-Correspondence OF
The associated Press. THE Prince
of Wales is now rs and King George
has decided that he should have his
own residence, York House, st. James
the home of his boyhood days, has
been selected.
Except that it lacks a garden and a
garage, York House is regarded as
an admirable residence. Decorators
are now preparing it for the prince,
who will move in about a month.
His household will not be large.
| York House formerly was the pro-
perty of the King of Han over, who
refused to let Queen Victoria have it.
But after h $ death she was able to
| offer it to the widowed Duches of Cam
bridge. Subsequently the house was
occupied by the Duke of Clarence and
the present king and queen. It's most
recent occupants have been the late
Lord Kitchener and Sir William Rob
erson.
Since the armistice the Prince of
Wales has been very much, in the
public eye, and his activities are di-
versified. He made a speech in the
| ring at the National Sporting Club
| after the Wild-Lynch contest, being
introduced by Lord Lonsdale the
| chief figure of the British sporting
world He spoke also at the dinner
Of the Royal Academy on the eve of
the opening of the annual exhibition
which was attended by great gather
ing of natables.
He has been initiated into the Free
| Masons, following in the footsteps of
his grandfather. King Edward, and
his great uncle, the Duke of Con
naught, and has become an honorary
member of two of the old city trade
guilds.
Recently the Prince flew over
Londan in an airplane piloted by one
of the most daring army filters, and
looped the loop and went through
the most up to date program of
stunts, which the more conservative
aviators have began to discourage
since the end of hostilities.

PLANS FOR AUGUST
GARDENS ARE MADE
LOCAL FARM DEMONSTRATION
AGENT LAYS OUT PROGRAM
BY J. NJ. Turner

BY J. M. Turner
Did you plant our collards, rutabagas,
turnips, late snap beans and corn
After the next rain, plant rape, or as
truckers says, kale, also musard and
spinach. These greens are far better
than turnips.
Celery may be set out the last of
August. Plants should be stocky six
inches tall and all leaves removed
down to the bud or heart. Set deep
ly but get no dirt in the heart. Water
if dry. Only rich ground makes
celery. Use big varieties like Giant
Pascal The soEalled self-blanching
varieties are always woody and in
ferior.
Asparagus is about the most pro-
fita BILE crop in Georgia. Commercially
plant on sandy land, the more sand
the better. Twenty acres to car lot
shipments. For home use any SOIL
makes no difference what.
The following methods are to be
perferred:
Broadcast manure thickly
Pillow deeply.
Lay off rows 8 feet apart.
Use manure in the row with acid
phosphate.
Throw dirt back into rows
4 Mix dirt and fertilizer.
Plant one year roots of best grade.
Plant four to six inches below level
of ground
Set rows two feet apart in the row.
272O roots per acre. Two or three
dozen for the home.
Paintings last 10 to 20 years, SO use
an out-of-the-way spot.
The mountain counties should plant
thousand acres of strawberries this
month. Every middle and south Geor-
gia garden should have three or four
hundred plants. Missionary, Candy
KlOndyke and Lady Thompson for
commercial and home use. Progressive
and Superb OF the ever-bearing for
home use only Ever bearers have not
the quality for commercial berries.
4 Rows four feet apart. Plants two
feet in the row. Allow rows IS inches
wide.
In south Georgia, get the spring
crop and plow up the patch.
Order $500 plants per acre.
Broadcast manure on the plant
ings this fall. Do not wait until spring
as the fresh manure makes soft ber-
ries
The Home Demonstration Agents
can advise many ways to put up
Strawberries to have excellent eating
all the year.
Every Georgia garden should have
some real blackberry bushes, Noun
tain counties should plant fields of
them. Eldorado, Kansas and Wilson
are excellent varieties.
Are you thinking about the wild
crop? Don't you know it's unfit for
use about half the time, never fit for
market? Did you know that black
berries sold for $1OO a gallon this
summer? Did you know that the crop
never fails? Did you know than acre
will yield 800 to 1000 gallons. Some
money crop? I'll say so.
Over in the Carolnas. they ship
cultivated lots of New York. Here in
Georgia we don't supply the demand
in even our small towns.
| Rows 10 feet apart
/ Plants feet in row.
i $40 plants per acre.
i Manure is best. Acid phosphate and
cotton seed meal half and half. is
fine and use plenty. What does 10 or
1 20 dollars worth of bought manure or
fertilizer amount to on a crop paying
100000 or more per acre.
