down and goes on his way alone. In a side street Mckay sees a tough an- moving yelled woman He inter- feres, drives the tough away and the woman, the spy, thanks him. She lets him believe she is the sister of Major General Lake, to whom he is to tell the Great Secret, and leads him to her home to meet the General. Eve lyn is now prisoner in the spy head quarters and Mckay is a prisoner in the house to which Laura has led him. Laura, going te headquarters, enters the room in which Evelyn is locked Evelyn strikes her down and quickly changes clothes with her, covering her own face with a heavy veil. Ev- elyn then leaves the room and locks the door just as Alfred turns on the gas from the floor below. The gas pours into the room in which the un- conscious Laura has been left by Eve lyn. Alfred meets the yelled Evelyn in the hallway, and, thinking her Laura, starts with her to finish" Mckay, as the Chiefs orders. In the automobile en route he discovers Eve lyn's identity and swears she must fire the shot that kills Mckay in pay ment for his unintentional killing of his sweetheart, Laura. In the mean time, Mckay, locked in the room, finds a whiskey decanter placed where he can't keep from seeing it. In his anger he hurls the bottle at a pie turo of the Kaiser hanglmg on the wall. T he canvas Q $ and discloses a telephone. Hastily picking up the phone, Mckay calls the Chief Inspector of Police and tells him of his predicament. The police hurry to rescue him. Alfred forces Evelyn into the house and from an aperture in wall shows her Mckay prisoner. Alfred presses a gun against Evelyn's back as he orders her to fire at Mckay, but instead she shoots him just as the other German agents, seeking vengeance for the death of Laura, bursts into the room. They leap at Mckay and Evelyn rushes into the room. She seeks a chance to shoot down the agents, but dares not firesfor flea of hittingr Mckay not fire for fear of hitting Mckay The episode ends just as one agent has floored Mckay and holds knife aloft, ready to plunge it into his heart

THIRD EPISODE OF BLACK
 SECRET IS THRILLER
'sThe Gas Chamber" is Title of Third
 Part Which is Full of Action

Arriving, as she fears too late, to
 prevent Kay Mckay from drinking
 the poisoned whiskey given him by
 the Colonel Evelyn Firth bursts into
 Rays room at the sanitarium just as
 he raises the bottle to his lips. She gasps Don't" when the Colonel sees
 her. He leaps from his wheeled chair hurls her to the floor and rushes from the room Mckay looks at Evelyn in
 surprise, then raises the poisoned whiskey to his lips, sayig reeklessly:
 "To the Great Secret" Evelyn whips out her automatic and fires, the bullet shattering the bottle and the whiskey splashing on the floor before Mckay
 has swallowed any of it. The Colonel
 is captured by sanitarium guards and
 brought back. A few days later Dr. Greer writes Evelyn that Mckay has
 recovered sufficiently to leave the
 sanitarium and asks her to call for
 him in person and take him away.
 She shows the letter to her chief
 Frederick Vaux, whom she suspects is
 not thoroughly American, and assures
 him she will call for Mckay herself.
 In the meantime the German secret agents, including two sweethearts, Laura and Alfred, are in conference with their chief. The next afternoon Evelyn in her machine is being driven to the sanitarium to get Mckay. The chauffeur stops suddenly as he sees the body of a man lying in the road. As they bend over the body, Alfred and the two other German agents att tack them. The chauffeur is knocked out and carried to the bushes at the side of the road and Evelyn is made a prisoner in her car, which is driven away by one of the agents. Alfred proceeds to the sanitarium on foot. Alfred produces forged credentials at

LEAGUE OF HUSBANDS IS
 INCREASING MEMBERSHIP
Two New Candidates Seek Protection Under Flag of This Organization

The League of Husbands met in monthly session at midnight Monday. Two new members were initiated, Claud Jackson and V. L. Paseoe Jr., who have recently become eligible for membership. The committee which investigated their fitness reported that they had caught Mr Jackson in the very act of violating the rules of the order by doing work about the house, to-wit dusting the furniture and sweeping the back porch and MT. Pascoe had also been caught helping in the kitchen
 "This fact should not be held again st the candidates" said President, w G. Moore" on the contrary the fact that both were doing what the order strictly forbids and then sought mem bership in the league, convinces me tfat they are acting in good faith and seeking the protection and sup port of the league that they may firmly refuse to do such work after being admitted to membership.
 Both Mr Paseoe and Mr. Jackson said that President Moore had cer- tainly hit the nail on the head and that they desired emancipation from such undignified acts in the future and that with the strong arm of the league behind them felt sure that in future they would have the real mor- al courage to refuse to be dictated to by their wives.
 Things are beginning to look good to me" said W (. Martin 'I note that the Health Department of Chi cago Is making bluff at taking a class of fat woden to reduce them One of the conditions is that they must work in the garden That con- vinees me that the Health Depart ment really IS with Us in putting wo- men to work where they belong.
 Again, a wise Judge in London held the other day that, under the law, wives were merely the servants of their husbands. Reading this 1 feel moved to say as was said ot Portia, 70 Learned Judge, q Daniel comes to judgment Wives must learn to know their status and We husbands must teach them where to head in, CT rather not to head in at all but remain in the background, content to shine in society by the reflected glory of their husbands personality"
 Harry Hawthorne said. "As to this matter of wives working in the gar den, of course am in favor of it, but the remarks of our noble brother

HODGES FOR CONGRESS

When man has been in Congress for ten or twelve years, he usually drifts away from the people, and as time goes on, he seems to forget that after all, it rests with the people as to how much longer he may enjoy the luxuries of his public position.
 The other day man asked his nei- ghbor who he was for, Oldfield or Northeutt for Congress The neigh Dor replied quickly, Neither one, am for Hodges of White County, who will represent the people and not the corporations"
 Answers like that are heard from all parts of the Second Congression- al District. Hodges for Congress. And why shouldn't it be SO? 0ldfield has been in Washington for twelve years. He has drawn nearly $100,- 900 salary for his services. He has not done anything else hardly, except draw his salary. It Is said that he gambled to some extent in cotton fu- lures; at any rate Bill Oldfield has been there long enough, the people know.
 He seems to have lost interest in the things back home He seldom pays us a visit nowadays, until a short time before election, when he hurries through the district. He has sold his home at Batesville and it is presumed he will make his home in Washington.
 MT. Hodges Is in close touch with the great throbbing heart of humani- ty. He knows the needs of the mass es He wants to represent the farm ing interests, the laboring element, in Congress.
 He doesn't want to go there to have a gay time and merely draw his sal ary. He wants to go there and work for the people of his district, wants to help guide and direct the progress of the country, wants to lend hIs loyal support in behalf of such meas ures as will tighten the burden of the Bread Winners" of the land
 In this crucial period of our nation al life, Mir. Hodges would make an ideal Representative in the Halls of Congress. He is not a lawyer, for which we are thankful, because Con gress is already lover run with law yers. Over 95 per cent of the mem bers are lawyers.
 It is in your power this time to elect man who will treat all inter ests fairly, but who will devote his greatest efforts in behalf of the strug- gling toilers of the land.
 W. A. Hodges is, indeed ard in truth, the candidate of the plain peo- pie of the Second District for Con- gress-Bald Knob Eagle.

The laboratory will still continue
to sell serum direct to the farmers
but there is not enough being used to
warrant the manufacture OF this prod
uct. They will however. buy good
commercial serum carefully tested
out and resell. In this way the use
fulness OF the State Serum Plant can
be increased to the live stock producer.
It has been suggested that the State
Serum Plant should supervise the
manufacture OF all serum which is sold
within the state Of Iowa. In this man
ner the farmer would profit in no
small degree as some Of the serum
which is now sold fails to meet the re-
squirements. VI
TOWNSHIP EXPERIMENTS.
The Farm Bureau is endeavoring to
secure farmers In each township who
will conduct experiments with crops
and soils In order that their neighbors
may become informed as to the best
methods Of management of such crops
and soils.
One farmer from each township is
now being secured.t TO try out two var
ieties Of corn which will be furnished
by the Farm Bureau. In every town
ship we would like to get the names Of
one or more farmers who would seed
small acreage Of alfalfa under d.
rections Of the Farm Bureau. Several
5c0operators from each township are
wanted to grow soy beans. Some Of
these to grow soy beans for seed and
others for hogging down and ensilage
purposes.
Farmers who might be interested In
soil experiments such az use OF lime
stone. commercial fertilizers will do
well to get in touch with the County
Agents Office as considerable assist
ance can be rendered IN conducting
this work.
NORTH FORK TOWNSHIP HOLDS
SUCCESSFUL MEETING.
Farmers In North Fork township
met At their second regular meeting
since their organisation and consid-
cred some Of the problems OF their

A marketing committee was APP
pointed which viii be assisted by the
n each school district,
in securing farm supplies. Farmers
In that township are to be solicited In
regard to ordering their coal and
twine. These orders to be forwarded
to various commission companies
which will handle the business. The
idea for this being that the farmers
should buy their supplies in due sea-
son In order to take advantage Of the
right price.
Ihs Marketing Committee In the
township is to keep posted in regard
to the values of farm products and
supplies and keep the members in the
township informed Knowing that the
farm products are not being sold on
the cost plus basis, several farmers In
