had stepped out of the frame-this
clever but credulOus lady insisted on
becoming my most sympathetic com
panion.
She delighted in entertaining Bob
and me with the traditions connect
ed with hacienda. According to her
account, every nook and corner Of
the place had its own creepy tale.
Even the attic of the long adobe
building next the great field had its
startling tragedy.
Under its caves was a haunted
room, said our vOluble friend. One
of the most magnificent of all the
owners of the hacienda had killed his
lawful wife up there. The lady had
refused to live in the hacienda with
his mistresses, it seemed. So she had
slipped away and had concealed her
self for weeks in that low attic, quite
close to the great castle. But pref
ty young servant girl betrayed the
wife TO the master. The girl doubt
less had her own ambitions-so ran
the tale And the indignant gentle
man had condescended to kill his lady
with his own white hands!
But sometimes her ghost comes
back. 1t rises-slowly-like smoke
and takes shape for an instant just
when the moon sends a slanting ray
to the spot on the garnet floor where
her body was stretched when her
spirit took fight
DO you think we could see the
ghost if we watched?' | asked.
1t would not be strange, the dame
thought. Many had watched-but no
che had ever dared to stay and gaze
upon the blood-red collar which cir
cled the white neck of the ghost!
One night when Certeis and Don
Manuel were absent, Bob and | with
the connivance of our superstitiOus
friend, went up into the room of the
coffins-and l watched while Bob
broke open a case of ammunition and
prepared fuse.
''In case these outlaws ever do en-
broil our country in a little war, we
know how to render one ammunition
dump perfectly harmless whispered
Bob eff | am unable to attend to
this little matter, Jane, | depend upon
you to take care of it."
How about the stuff in the cave?
| asked at amounts to more than
this-and it is miles nearer the Dor
der. Of course we cannot let it be
used against our own"
at must be destroyed And one OF
us must manage to do it, Bob
agreed. "You see just how I've
planted this fuse. Could you make
one-and plant it the same way"
''Fm sure that could-if ! had
| to-"
II hope you will not have to, darl,
| ing" Bob had worked swiftly as We
talked. / had followed the operation
and in so doing had forgotten the
ghost which had been our excuse fol
invading the place.
Suddenly saw the moonlight
break through a dormer window anc
fall obliquely across the attic. Its
RAYS spread-and spread and made
a great splotch of light in the middle
of the dirty floor.
Bob! Bob" I gasped My owl
voice seemed to choke me. TT
true. Bob! See| l clHtched his arm
to support my poor weak knees. See
The moon! The smokel The ghost!

! Detroit, Sept. 7.-Myron L. Tin
ne, former army aviator, fell 500
feet to his death today while per-
forming aerial acrobatics at the
State fair grounds. Tinney's stunts
were performed by Omar Locklear,

PREPARING HOUSES
FOR SWEET POTATO
Clemson Gives Information On
Storing

Clemson College, Sept. with
the harvest period for the sweet po-
tato drawing near, it is of vital i'm
portance that ample storage space
be provided. In the use of the stan
dard storage house, which is the on
ly sure way of keping potatoes,
thorough cleansing, disinfection
airing and artificial drying should
be given the Souse before the pota-
toes are stored. Especially is this
true of previously used houses in
which rots have given trouble.
Houses that have been used CT con-
structed by the remodeling Of old
and unused buildings, should be
carefully tleansed, disinfected, and
ired several days before they are
to be used, while in case of the new
and unused house that has been con-
structed of new. material, it will on
lv be necessary to dry this out
thoroughly by the artificial heat>
The cleansing, disinfecting, and
natural airing should be done
week or ten days before the house is
to be used, and a thorough drying,
by use of the artificial heat, over a
period of IL to "a hours, before the
potatoes are to be stored. After this
the heat should be discontinued wea
her conditions premitting, until all
of the crop is harvested. Otherwise,
uniform curing will not be given,
which may cause poor keeping, as
result of both over and under cur
ing.
There are several effective meth
DDS of disinfecting that are recon-
mended: Two of these are as fol.
lows: g,
l. Whitewashing. This may be ap-
piled by use of a brush, good
coat of standard whitewash, or a
mixture of whitewash/ and winter
strength lime sulphur solution. On
;ly one application per season is nee
essary.
2. Sprays. These are thought to
be equally as effective and should
be applied by use of /the standard
barrel or bucket spray pump.
a-Copper sulphate (blue stone).
Dissolve, by suspending one to one
and one-half pounds of blue stone
il 25 gallons of water.
b-Formalin. Mix one pint of for
malin (40 per cent. strength) and
80 gallons of water.
c-Lime-sulphur. Mix one gallon
of liquid lime-sulphur (same as uia.
ten gallons of water.
When losses have resulted from
rots, two applications of the sprays
are. recommended.

way 10 electric power. The amount
of electric power generated by
steam has grown from 11,775 horse
power in 1914 to 1887 in 1919
and to 23,O4O in 1920.In fact it has
nearly doubled since 1918. The
amount of hydro electric power has
also increased from 68,59S in 1914
to 93,6e7 in 1920, considerably
development. The amount of steam
power applied directly and not con-
verted into electricity was 72,231 in
1914; 64,S53 in 1919 and 61,740 in
1920. This was the most consider
able power factor in 1914 but is a
moor second now and in a few more
wears will be replaced by electricity
produced by steam. The total horse
power in 1914 was 176,008 and in
1920 2O7,574.
The number of white males en-
ployed was 31,116 in 1914. During
the war period the number got as
low as 27,757 in August 1918. The
number now employed is 1884,
showing an increase in the last year
of 3,2O6. This is about normal com
pared with pre-war figures and does
not indicate that men are leaving
the farms to work in the mills
There are $50 more white females
employed than there were a veal
ago, 291 more negro males and 10i
more negro females. The number o:
white females at/work in mills in
creased from 1928 in 1914 tt
1860 in 1917 and this is just 10(
more than were employed in 1920
showing that this class of help alst
is normal.
The total population of the mil
communities in 1914 was 12O,96O
in 1919 it was 129,616 and in 1925
it was 1886.
There are no children under Il
years of age working in the mills
being prevented by State laws. The
total number of children in the
mills, IA to 16 years of age, was s.
756 in 1919 and 1921 in 1920
, There were 9S fewer boys and 6s
