MT. spa1ding Promises statement

After reading an account as purport- ed to be published as result of an interview with Mir. Hellyer of the T. M. Byxbee Co. I desire to emphatically deny the statement made, that the New Haven Division does not at the present time show the efficiency as when MT. Byxbee resigned.
 At the proper time I shall speak of conditions that will exonerate me from all the persistent rumors and statements published.

Proper distribution of farm products
requires, first of all, that a common
understanc>g exist as the basis of ne
gotiations between producers and pur-
chasers. The bureau of markets,
United States department of agricul-
ture, is endeavoring to bring this about
by the recommendation of grades for
fruits and vegetables No. 2 potatoes
should be No. potatoes throughout
the United States and not, as at pres
ent No. 2 potatoes in one section Of
the country and No. somewhere else.
Higher Grade Demanded.
During the war period the United
States food administration required
licensed dealers to use government po-
tato grades. The results were so sat
isfactory that when the regulation was
Cancelled the use of grades to large
extent was continued voluntarily. In
fact, since that time a higher grade
has been demanded to provide for
produce of highest quality.
Therefore the bureau of markets
now recommends United States grade
fancy in addition to grades No. l and
No. 2.
Grade fancy consists of sound po
tatoes of one variety which are ma

One Taken off West Coast of Scotland
Realized Five Thousand Dollars
for Its Captors.

A graphic account of the hunting
and killing Of a sperm whale is told
by one who took part in it. Starting
from the west coast of Scotland the
whaler made for Rockall, a lonely
granite pinnacle that juts out of the
Atlantic about two hundred miles west
Of the Outer Hebrides. Why the
whales go there is q mystery, but In
early summer schools of them may be
found in the neighborhood. The look
out soon spies a "blow," that is the
fountain elected by the whale as it
comes to the surface to breathe. Away
goes the whaler in pursuit. After
some tense maneuvering the whaler
gets into suitable position, the skipper
takes aim, fires his harpoon gun and
a harpoon is embedded in the mon
ster's body. The whale disappears
taking yards of hemp line with him.
Presently he rises to blow again, and
| Immediately a second harpoon is fired
at him and he goes down with yards
of cable rafting overheard. About
fifty minutes later he floats on the
surface of the water, quite dead.
Immediately the sailors fall upon
him. Air is pumped into the carcass
to make it buoyant, his fukes are
trimmed off, so that he will float in
tow, and the whaler makes for Scot
land again, with a host of screaming
birds in her rear. This particular
whale realized five thousand dollars
1t was a full-grown sperm, about sixty
feet long.

VEGETABLES STORED
FOR USE In WINTER
Good Time to Begin Plans for
Saving Garden Truck.
Money Will Be Saved and Variety
Added to Menus by Preparing
Room in Basement or Outdoor
Cellar or Pit

One of these nights not far distant
there will be a frost. That means,
does it not, that huge basket of pump
kins, squash, beets, onions, tomatoes,
apples and other vegetables and fruit
grown in your garden and orchard,
must be brought in and saved for win
ter use?
Before that time the question of
storage must be settled. If you have
never had them to store before or did
not have success in the methods used
last year, or want to know more
about the subject for general informa-
ton, send for copy of "Home Stor-
ing of Vegetables" Farmers Bulletin

riculture.
Different types of inexpensive and
reliable storage places, the room in
the basement of the dwelling, the out
door storage cellar or cave, the bank
or pit, are described in detail. The
saving in money and the additional
variety in your winter menus will
more than pay you for spending time
in preparation for good, careful stor.

ever threw it at night should know
that it was gone. 1t suited my pur-
poses better that it should be gone and
the person who used it should think
it was still there. Therefore, after
reading to Mr.. Sidney l went to town
for thin file.
1 got my file, and for greater So
ciabiIity on the return trip 1 took the
seat beside Charles, the driver.
AS we passed the pool, Charles re-
ferred to it.
"What is it?" 1 asked. "What's the
story?"
"a man killed his brother there" J"
said Charles. HE is now in the pen
itentiary at Alwick for life. His
brothers ghost, they say, comes back.
I've never seen it, but some people say
they have"
"Who We're the brothersY I asked.
"They were the sons Of the people
who used to own this place-the
Dobsons." He did not say anything
more of it and did not question him,

Happiness in GIadness.

"Be glad When you have said all
there is to say about life's sorrow,
disappointment and pain, about the
selishness and wrong that sweep over
the earth like shadows, about the
shortness of it's days and the certainty
of its nights, it still remains blessedly
true that the universe is thrilling with
the song of gladness," says helpful
writer.
"Be glad for the beauty of the
springtime, the blue of the skies, the
music of the birds and the glory OF
the sunsets. Listen to the laughter
of the little children, answer to the
handclasp of friendship, grow warm
in the lovelight of countless happy
homes and be sure that somewhere
over and above all is great Love that
makes all these things possible"

own attitude toward life.-Orisor

awhat do you want?" he asked.


1 explained that 1 was DR.. Michel
son and wanted nothing that 1 was not
wanted for. l did not like his manner
and was not inclined to ignore 1t or to
propitiate him as ordinarily one
would. He had, at first sight, an ex-
traordinary power of evaporation. At
the time l did not understand my
weakness. but afterward l did. The
man was abnormal as an irritant.
Thus my appearance at Hartley
house was so unfortunate that If the
servants contumacy and my resent
ment had had another moment, the
door would have been slammed in my
face and ] should have been walking
back to Hartley station. At that hest
tant moment in my fortunes, a wom-
ans voice intervened.
"Jed," it said, "who's there?"
The servant opened the door wider,
and 1 saw lady, a South American,
thought.
"I am DR.. Nicholson" said.
"Yes, DOCTOR" she replied, 1--WE have

it."
He did, but made me see the i'll ma
ture of his reception of me and of his
duty. He had also, at the direction
of Mrs. Sidney, to show me to my
quarters.
"Jed." 1 said. in my room, "we have
not made the best start for two people
who may have to live together fol
some time"
1 offered him a dollar as a peace
offering.
"Are you going to stay here?" ht
asked.

MAKING FINE RECORD
FOR IMPROVED SIRES
Virginia Leads Country in Effort
to Discard Scrubs.
Many Farmers of Pulaski County File
Declaration They Will Follow
Methods to Further Live
Stock Improvement.

With over 10000 head of domestic
animals in addition to poultry enrolled
in the Better Sires-Better Stock
movement, Virginia leads all other
states in the nationwide effort to rid
the country of scrub and other infe-
rior sires. The stock mentioned is
owned by $40 farmers, of whom 354
are in Pulaski county, Virginia. ALI
of these live stock owners have filed
with the United States department of
agriculture declarations that they will
not only use pure-bred sires, but will
follow methods leading to further live
stock Improvement.
The bureau of animal industry,
which is handling the enrolment rec
ords, received from Virginia recently
Y pledges in one day. OF this number
Is contained statements that purebred
sires, including rams, boars and roost-
ers, would be purchased. Cases of
| this kind show that the movement is
not only educational, but is gradually
resulting in the replacement of in.
ferior males with purebreds.

indians Still Use Blow Gun.

The blow gun is still popular for
hunting birds among the Koasati In
dams in Louisiana. This weapon con-
sists of a tube, usually Of cane, about
six feet long, rubbed smooth on the in
side with an implement made for the
purpose and carefully Strengthened
with the aid of fire. Slender pointed
darts about eight inches long are used
as ammunition, each one wrapped
neatly along a third of its length with
thistledown or cotton to make it fit
the inside of the tube. The hunter
places a dart in the tube, which he
raises to his lips and with which he
takes careful aim at his game; then
with quick puff of breath he drives
the little dart flying with a sufficient
force to impale and kill small bird
or squirrel.
