open from the shock of the fall, and
as she was about to call to the man

believed her eyes then she took a long
look at the man In the treetop, and
slipping the watch into her pocket
she returned to the house, thinking
hard. William George Fahnestock!
She had read his books and dreamed
of the man who could look with SO
kindly an eye upon life and tell Of 1t
with such sure touch. And this
tramp had his watch! He had stolen
1t, of course-unless-a wild surmise
filed her mind. But no; 1t couldn't
be so. College professors who write
books didn't pick apples during the
summer That evening as the
men came In she said severely to the
stranger, .Come into the living room

When the stranger found himself In
the quietly lighted living room with
the girl, he saw her for the first time
clad In the garments of civilization.
and her beauty struck him with new
force. He said nothing but waited for
her to speak.
"Mr.-I don't know what your name
is" she began; 81 found this on the
ground this morning" And she held
out the watch to him. The back was
still open.

piled, because on hiking tour

FEED FOR VIGOROUS CALVES
When Youngster Begins to Pick at
Bedding or other Materials Give
Grain and Roughage.

Usually vigorous calf begins dur
ing the second week to pick at bedding
or other material within reach. and
at that time both grain and roughage
of best possible quality should be pro-
vided. Silage may be given after the
calf is one month old, IL carefully
used. When the calf is in the second
week, 1t should begin to receive grain
and when one month old should be fed
about one-half pound day. After

FOOD MATERIAL FOR PLANTS
Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium and,
Less Frequently, Calcium and
Sulphur Are Lacking.

Plants, like animals, must have GER.
tain definite food materials. Two OF
these, iron and magnesium, are pres

in nearly all soils. Three others, car

therefore abundant. The other five
may be so lacking in any given soil
as to limit plant growth. These are

COMING PICTURE SHOWS

"The Soul of YOUTH" and Down

Judge Ben Lindsey, who presides
over Denver's Famous Juvenile court,
is known in every quarter of the globe,
perhaps to a greater degree than any
other human being. Judge Lindsay,
has mastered the complexities of a
bad boys nature, perhaps, too, he has
brought back more hell-bent boys to
lives of usefulness than any other indi
vidual. Judge Lindsay personally ap-

A genuine picture of rural New
England life is "Down Home" the
Irwin V. Willat production shown at
the Opera House next Tuesday. All
the delightful old landmarks are there
from the blacksmith shop and the old
fashioned fire department, to the vii
lage store where, amid the molasses
kegs and bolts of unbleached muslin,
the villagers congregate to discuss
every topic from the latest invention
in rat-traps to why little Mary Ann
Jenkins caught the measles. Here al
so was taken up, day after day, the
question of Nancy Pelot's going to
Redburn, the next town, to play the
piano at a small wayside inn, and
whether or not in so doing she was
running her reputation. Most of the
gossips, mea and women lowed as
how she had, but young Chet Todd,
strong, upright lad that he fas scorn-
ed their idle chatter. He was very
much in love with the appealing
young girl who was struggling so
hard to make a living for herself and
her aged father, and he determined to
prove her innocence. Thus you are
introduced to the various characters
in "Down Home" and from this be-
ginning to the very end, your keen in
terest is sustained. 1t is a well-act-
ed, splendidly directed, realistically
staged story. The tense dramatic in
cidents that occur in the lives of these
"home folks" are relieved by delight
full flashes of humor, resulting in g
well-balanced, highly satisfactory ell
tertainment.

The money you have paid for rent
is gone beyond recall, though you have
paid it for tent, or for stately hall;
some landlord took it. cent by cent,
and left your bundle small. Some
landlord took your iron men and left
you feeling sore, for you were needing
every yen to buy things at the store;
and every month he came again, and
took away some more. You've bought
that residence, alack, you poor mis-
guided gent! You've bought the
blamed place front and back. and by
the strain you're bent; and still the
landlord owns the shack, and bones
you for the rent. Not yours the roof
tree overhead, not yours the cistern
pump; the landlord owns the fence
and shed, the whole works in lump u;
when you can't pay him you must
tread the pathway to the dump. When
you are sick or out of luck the land
lard stern appears, and clamors loud
" for each buck for which you're in
arrears, and hauls your dunnage in a
truck to soulless auctioneers. A sane

own shack dwells, though it may plain
and humble be, not built for bloom
