where bold warriors were once driven
by the invading foe, sat on the beach

Hawaiian music, and heard the tinkle

HOW TO SECURE WILT
RESISTANT TOMATO SEED

Experiments being conducted at the
Georgia Experiment Station, and re.
ports received from growers indicate
that tomato wilt or "blight" has
already killed large proportion OF
the tomato plants set in wilt infested
soil
In contrast to the above it will be
of interest to tomato growers to know
that certain strains of wilt resistant
seed have produced plants which are

 MISERABLE FINISH

 BERNE Jan 27, (By MaiD-Seldom has !; victorious army come to so mis- crable an end as that of the 1S0,000 Germans commanded by Field Marsh- al Won Mackensen who were driven out of Roilmania after the signing of the armistce.
 On their way home through Hun gary the redoubtable divisions which had accompanied Won Mackensen in triumphal march through Transylvan- ia and Roumana lost. sold or were robbed of virtually all their belongings One division. the Eighty Ninth, which had fought victoriously in Poland and Lithuania escaped into Germany with. out so much as d horseshoe nail of it's guises of shabbiest civilian clothing and Austrian uniforms sold to them at Raab, they said, at monstrous prices. The story of their inglorious homo ward journey as told by a member of one of the German divisions to the Schlesische Zeitung follows:
 "Orders had been given that blood shed should be avoided, so the victors of Hermannstadt and Itimnku turned their faces toward Hungary, and, leav- ing mcalculable supplies of flour, sug- ar. wine, hospital stores, and agricul- tural implements behind them, made their way, pursued by the Eouman- ians over the wintery tarpathians. ing to int .rn q German l, S:iLns, and the few Entente soldiers in Budapest did not count We were told that the Entente would impose still harde: conditions in the West. so we were or deIed to allow ourselves to be disarm- ed by a ridiculous minority.
 "Then began d second march over the snowy steppes. Thousands of old Landsturm men did not face this trial and were taken prisoners by the Wal lachans. who sent them back over the mountains into l:ouniania. Several divisions succeeded in buying locomot- ives, cars and coals at Klausenbrrg and thus finished their journey byl train: A great mass of material was sold. Hundreds of transport and oth- CT wagons were simply left in the road or broken up for fircwood
 The trains were allowed to go toI Raab, whence. by order of the Entente, the Hungarian government sent them to the old internment camp for Rus sian prisoners at Papa.
 Small things of value that we had saved were taken from us by MagyarS on the way from I.aab to Vienna. With the divisional moncy-chest plum dered of it's contents by MagyaTs. the S9th. Infantry Division reached Ger man Austrian soil, through the last gap near pressburg, which the CZechs closed a few days later, at the bchest of the F;n tente".

 Rickard was in consultation all day yesterday with contractors who Will build the arena and with ticket eN- perts.

The bleacher seats. which will be put on sale at 10 o'clock ln the morning, will cost $10 apiece. and the reserved seats will range from S15 up to $60. These prices will include war taxes.
 Turns Down Speculators
 My chief trouble will be with the speculators, but I will do my best to balk them. I already have had an offer of $100,000 for a specified mum Der of reserved seats, but of course declined the proposition. I shall put the tickets in the hands of responsible persons in the big cities, with in gtructions to keep them out Of the hands of spectators and sell only to bona fide patrons of the bout.
