KILLED II NEW YORK EXPLOSION.

Following is an extract from
an article in q recent edition Of
The Asheville Times concerning
/. the death Of Frank r. Gray in
the Wall Street explosion some
weeks ago. Mrs, Gray, nee Miss
Lunda Bingham, daughter of Mr.,
George Bingham, Of Amantha,
N. c., is well known throughout
Watauga:
while the thunderous sound
of the terrible explosion that
shook the very heart Of New York
City recently has gradually be-
come lulled in the workaday life
of that great city, the echo, trav-
cling across the country has
reached Asheville in the form Of
a tragic story that concerns a
lady well known to many in this
city and with whom her friends
are now mourning the loss Of her
husband upon the very eve of
their departure for England on
their honeymoon.
Married secretly last summer
with Rev. DR.. E. K. McLarty
performing the ceremony in the
parsonage of the Central Metho-
dist church, Miss Lunda Bing-
ham, well known as an employee
at Democratic headquarters, be.
came the bride of 9 former. army
engineer, Frank B. Gray. The
/ husband, left to undergo a most
serious operation at Johns Hop
kins, in Baltimore, just after
that quiet ceremony. The .oper-
alton proved successful; he re
covered his health again and en-
tered again his civilian duties as
an engineer in New York. Dur.
ing the war he served with the
A. E. F. as an officer of an engi-
neer regiment overseas. Mrs.
Gray, neeLunda Bingham caught
the train for New York to greet
her husband and to sail the fol.
lowing Tuesday on the long de-
ferred honeymoon abroad.
Then tragedy stepped in. The
titanic upheaval on Wall Street
found her husband a prey to the
destruction hurled broadcast.
Crippled unto death, he fingered
with his devoted wife by his bed
side. Death followed several
days later, and the honeymoon
became q simple, heart breaking
( funeral ceremony.

have issued q statement annOun-
cling that they can best promote
the cause of the international
peace by supporting Senator
Harding for President begin by
mutilating the record. The mutt.
lation is in harmony with the en-
tire Republican campaign on this
issue.
In order to make a case for
themselves they present as one
of their arguments:
Mr.. Harding said in his speech
of Aug. 26. There are distinctly
two types of international rela-
tionship. One is an offensive ALI.
ance Of great powers. The other
is 9 socity Of free nations or an
association Of free nations or a
league Of free nations animated
by considerations OF right and
Justice, &c.
What Harding actuall said was:
There are distinctly two types
of international relationship. One
is an offensive and defensive ALI.
ance of great powers, like that
created in Versaills, to impose
their will upon the helpless peo.
pie Of the world. Frankly l am
opposed to such a scheme as that.
Then he broughtout his benev.
olent society of nations substi.
tute. At the very beginning Of
their case these gentlemen sup,
press. Harding's reputation of
the League Of Nations which they
themselves have been champion.
ing, and they submit this mutila.
ted record as evidenceof the can
dates sympathy with their pro.
gram. Itwas in this same speech
that Harding declared that it
was unnecessary to pass fur.

League, because 1T has alrea-
dy been abandoned by Europe
an assertion that all of there
thirty-one eminent Republicans
know to be untrue
On the day that their state.
ment was issued, Senator Hiram
Johnson had something to say q.
bout the altitude of Senator Har-
ding toward the League Of Ma.
tions, and Johason has assurance
that these gentlemen have never
been able to obtain. In his speech
at CLEVELAND the leader of the bit.
ter-enders told in these words
why he is for Harding:
There is nothing ambiguous or
uncertain in our candidates dec
laration. He has courageously ia.
ken his stand. He has put the
League behind him." He wants
neither interpretations nor reser.
vations, but rejection.
This, to be sure, is only a para.
phrase Of Hardin's speech at Des
Moines in which the candidate
thus defined his attitude: Y
l do not wish to clarity these
obligations. / want to turn my
back on them. It is not interpri-
tation but rejection that I am
seeking.
|. 1t was in the same speech that
Harding said, in reply to a
question, that the American sol.
diers on the Rhine "have no bus.
mess there"
Mr.. Root, Mr.. Hughes. Mr..
Hoover and their associates have
adopted Mr.. Taft's policy in the
campaign. They are asking the
voters to pay no attention to Sen.
ator Harding's speeches, reject.
ing the League Of Nations, but to
rely on them to control the can.

CLEAN SEED WHEAT

The grains of seed wheat besides be-
ing all of one variety, should also be
heavy, plump and spherical and free
from dirt, weed seeds or injured, sick
or immature kernels. Heavy seed pro-
notes stooling and the production Of
spring plants and benefits yield and
quality Of grain as we'll as making
sitter straw. In a small or shriveled
seed there is insufficient food supply
or an imperfectly developed germ, so
the plants from such seed usually have
not the power to live, although the
seed may sprout quite successfully.
Therefore the wise farmer will see
that his seed is reclaimed thoroughly.
One of the most profitable things to do
is to run the seed through flaming
mill a second time so that the kernels
will all be the same size which will en-
able them to get an even start and ma
ture at the same time.

CLEAN SEED .>
Hitch Your Grader d: Your Gas En-,
CINE and Fan and Fan-Do 4
Good Job: Money In It.

Seed wheat is so bad this year that
it will be necessary to do some very
radical cleaning with the tanning mill.
All Of the shriveled and diseased ker-
nels should be famed out. Probably
enough seed may be had on almost
any farm if the tanning and grading
is done severely enough. 1t has been
claimed by many farmers that all
seeds, large and small, will grow equal
~ well, but this is not so. A plump
seed carries it's own food until such
time as the shoots and rootlets may be
sprouted sufficiently to take nourish-
ment from soil and air. The seed must
carry enough plant food so that it will
produce strong plant.
The tanning mill should operate both
by screen agitation and wind blast.
Some farmers do not use the tanning
mill, because it is the only machine
on the farm that they cannot ride, but
it is a very simple matter to hitch up
the hind leg Of your Ford and run the
tanning mill with belt. You prob
ably have a gasoline engine for other
work. Hitch it to your tanning mill
and do a good job.
You cannot take too much care in
preparing your seed for this year. Seed
is scarce and high. You are guilty of
criminal negligence, if you omit to do
so. Now is the time for every man to
give patriotic service and reconstruct
ton must begin with food and food
is based on wheat.

SPRING WHEAT

The acreage Of spring wheat in 1919
was much greater and up to June we
had the promise Of the very best crop
on record, yet the weather conditions
in many localities were such that in
Minnesota, North and South Dakota
only about 114,O00,000 bushels were
harvested, much of it being very chaffy,
scabby and smutty and unfit for seed.
More than SO,0O0,OC0 bushels have
already been marketed and our seed
requirements for the three states are
about 100000 bushels.
AS every gram man knows, the
wheat now being shipped is badly mix
ed, full of trash and light in weight,
making much of it unfit for seed.
So it therefore becomes imperative
that all of those interested in the pros
perity of the Northwest should unite
for action, make local survey Of seed
conditions and where there is a sur
plus Of good seed, make it known, and
where there is shortage Immediately
locate proper seed and make some ar
rangement for financing it and dfstrib-
.uting it to the farmers. If there is
any 1918 wheat at your station of good
quality, you should see that it is
held for seeding? Don't mix it in with
the new wheat to make grades. You
might possibly save a fraction of q
cent, but you will sacrifice many BUSH
els In the next crop.
.. The farmer must first become pros.
porous before any one can prosper.

FROZEN SEED

Wheat which has been stored In the
bin so it has been subject to moisture,
freezing and thawing, after sitting
snow and driving rains, will be sure to
have a large percentage Of the grains
entirely dead and many others so weak
that it will be impossible for them to
send up plants sufficiently stroag to
be'of much crop value. : ::
Test your seed In blotter. It zaould
grow o6 per cent strong. ~ ~ ~. ~

BEST POTATO SEED IS NONE TOO

Great care should be taken in select
in potatoes for seed, says E. C. Stalk
man of the Minnesota Experiment sta
ton. When it can be obtained, certi-
fed seed should always be used If not
available, tubers true to type and free
from rots, scabs, blemishes and internal
discolorations should be selected. These
should be soaked in corrosive sublimate,
four ounces to 80 gallons of water, for
one and one half hours. Plant on land
which has not grown potatoes for three,
four, or five years. A bulletin contain

SEASON, CONSTRUCTION

Section rs of the game law pro.
vides that pickerel may be taken by
angling and spearing between May LIST
and March LIST. Section 80 permits the
use of fsh-houses for taking pickerel
until April LIST.
The proper construction of those two
sections taken together is that March
and April are closed months for the TAX
ing Of pickerel by any method except
they may be speared in licensed fish
houses during the month of March.

Red Durum wheat, known as IDS"
put out some years ago has been found
to be dismal failure on account Of
lack Of milling quality.
There is much Of it offered for sale
this year for Seed. It made a pretty
fair crop and went through rust fairly
we'll, but there was no. market for it
last year except the government which
took it because it was wheat. The
millers did not want it, the macaroni
men did not want it, SO all that was
left for It was to sell 1t at a big dis
count for grinding into chicken Feed.
