ALL ANSWER THIS CALL.

The lieutenant was decidedly
sleepy and settled down deep in
his chair in one of the Indianapolis
vaudeville theaters. The summer
vaudeville program chugged fits
weary way onward.
At last the audience was re-
leased and soon had left the the.
alter. all except the lieutenant, who
was sleeping soundly in the va.
cant parquet. The leader of the
orchestra turned on the cornetist,
who played retreat cali. Still Nor
pheus held sway. He blew an Nth
power jazz note. still with no eff
feet. Then the cheering notes of
mess call sounded forth.
On the first of the culinary TIA
notes. the weary
soldier jumped from the chair, took
q look about the theater ana pro-
ceeded double time to the exit

Durinr the automobile show.
BY %. o. McIntyre

During the automobile show.
I was down looking at cars.
And q salesman insisted.
That I get inside.
An imported Twin Twelve.
One Of those huge things.
With low-hung bodies.
And Jazz trappings.
Resembling a mighty dragon.
And sat at the wheel.
with a dollar and sixty cents.
Acting like I might buy It.
You've got to act that way.
Because an auto salesman.
Is so very pleasant.
That you wouldn't.
Want to crush his spirit.
And he told me.
All the secret things.
About this car.
At least suppose.
They we're very secret.
For he whispered them.
Like he didn't want any one.
standingsaround to hear.
II they were not secrets.
The poor boy had bronchitis.
Well at any rate.
The more he told me.
About this nifty roadster.
The more wanted it.
And when he told me.
1t could take a hill.
At so miles an hour.
1 decided to raise the money.
And 1 was figuring out.
The various ways to do it.
And had mortgaged my lot.
Which / bought for 81 down.
Over on Long Island.
And had touched all my friend
When in the midst of it all.
1 was conscious that someone.
Was staring at me.
And had been ever since.
got into the car.
And SO 1 looked up.
And out in the aisleway.
Was Izzy. my tailor.
And he kept looking.
And I got all fused up.
And got out of the car.
And yawned nonchalantly.
And walked away.

MOTHERHOOD.

II all the world were void OF good
I'd still be full of gratitude
For Motherhood
The loving eye, the smiling lips.
The touch of tender fingertips,
The sacrifice of self that We

The constant care, the constant
thought
For helplessness in trial caught
While Motherhood remains the ring
or Joy shall thrill the songs I sing.

when newspaper man who was

OId-Time Hanging "Bees."

The near-hanging of a condemned
murderer at the District Jail last
Friday recalled the executions of
from thirty-five to fifty years ago.
Hangings in that period always
called for extra editions of the
Washington newspapers. and the
old-time reporter wrote with a
lead pencil column after column OF
the grewsome details. almost in
variably concluding his story with
1.-The dull and sickening thud." as
the condemned man reached the end
of his rope. The newsmen generally
camped in the tail for twenty -four
hours preceding the execution, and
features of their accounts included
1.-The prisoners last night on EARTH
his last breakfast. giving the menu
in detail. and his last message to
earth" No hanging story was COM
plete without these descriptions.
At the final scene two reporters
were necessary properly to cover"
the story. One stood close up to the
scaffold to see the drop fall and get
the writings" and "contortions,'
and the number of seconds the MUIR
derer's heart continued to beat by
the Jail physicians watch-regarded
as an essential feature of the I'M
canny story. These appeared I'M
der the subhead, Final Scenes" The
other reporter stood on the outer
rim Of spectators, watch in hand, to
note the exact second and minute
the drop fell, and the guilty wretch
was launched into eternity" Then
he beat 1t to q waiting carriage or
buggy and there was a wild race OF
the men representing the rival news
papers to reach their respective Of
fees first and get their extra edi-
ton on the street ahead of the other
fellow.
The account Of the hanging, with
the inevitable History of the
Crime" occupied the front pages.
and the only illustrations were the
now obsolete wood cuts, made by
the tedious process of hand chisel-
ing. The Extras" sold like hot
cakes, as fast as they were printed
by the slow-going. old-fashioned
cylinder presses. I recall one hang
ing where the murderer's head was
taken of because of the long drop
given him. The cry went up. THE
ropes broke" and the reporter of
one of the two afternoon newspa-
pers, without waiting for vertical
ton. dashed downtown, and the pa
per rushed out an extra headed THE
Rope Broke. Murderer Fell writh-
ing to the Ground" The other paper
came out later with a story of the
|decapitation.

of the soil on the outside of the frame. The bed should be kept moist, but not wet.
 At first the temperature may run to 85 or 90 degrees Fahrenheit, but 1t should be kept at 80 to 85 degrees as near as possible. By planting time, l which should be from five to six weeks later, the temperature should stand at about 60 degrees. All of this Is de scribed in bulletin No. 124. which may be had on application to the agrcul- tural college at Fayetteville.
 For a late crop. cut piece about eight to ten inches long from the end of the potato vine. The leaves. ex- cept at the top. are stripped off and all but the growing end covered with soil. Some growers prefer to plant a portion of their crop by means of slips and then secure plants for the rest of their acreage by means of vine cutting. The vine cuttings have the advantage of being free from disease claim that vine cuttings give the high l est yield.
 The illustration shows the methods of pulling slips from the bed. The seed potatoes should be held down with one hand while the slips are be- ing removed. They will not all be ready at one time, and only those which have formed good roots should be drawn. If two or more hang together, they should be pulled apart to avoid trouble in the field. Pud- ding the roots in mud is desirable to keep them from drying. After the slips are pulled, water the bed to settle the soil where it has been disturbed so that the other slips may come on later.
 A bushel of small potatoes will bed from 15 to 20 square feet. It will re- quire from three to six bushels per acre, according to the variety. A bushel of seed should produce from 2.OOO to 5000 slips. If beds are made from April 10 to April 20, slips will be ready as soon as it will be safe to plant them.
The log cabin Democrat., 1920-05-28

For instance, if we are breeding Nancy Halls to size and shape, it is neces- sary to keep in mind the standard to be attained and at digging time, go over the field and select those pota- toes for seed from those hills which show vigor, productiveness, resistance to disease and large number of smooth marketable potatoes.
 The ideal potato should be about seven inches long and approximately three inches throughout the thickest part. They should be smooth, shall lowed eyed, free from disease or blem- ishes of any kind and represent high quality and flavor, color and texture.
 In selecting strings do not use culls and especially do not plant seed pota- toes from poorly matured hills.
