GROW GOOD TOMATOES
IN THE HOME GARDEN

There is perhaps no product of the
garden that is so refreshing or pala-
table as well-ripened, fresh tomatoes,
and they can be used in such variety
OF ways. While fresh tomatoes are
preferable to canned ones they lose
very little flavor or quality in the can
ming and good canned tomatoes add
very materially to the food supply of
the winter months.
Early ripening adds greatly to the
value of the tomato crop and early to-
matoes can be obtained in most sec
tons only by starting the plants in
doors. Garden specialists of the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture
say it is easy to grow plants indoors
by sowing small packet of tomato
seed in cigar box filled with mellow
soil. The seeds should be COW
cred about three-fourths inch and the
soil kept moderately watered and the
plants will generally come up in less
than week after planting the seeds.
Keep the box near a window where it
will get plenty of sunlight, and turn it
around each day to make the plants
grow straight
When the plants begin to crowd each
other, which will be in about fifteen
days after they come up secure a large
fiat box, say three inches deep and
Just long enough to fit in the window,
fill it with rich, sifted soil and trans
plant, giving each plant about two
inches of space. With proper care to
turn the box from time to time and
also to keep the soil moderately wa
tered the plants will be about four
inches hifih, strong, and stocky to
make it safe to set them in the garden.
Tomatoes naturally grow in warm
climate and require plenty of warmth
from the start. The plants should be
kept at about living-room tempera-
ture until few days before they are
to be set in the garden; then they
should be gradually exposed to out
door conditions to harden them. After
they are set in the garden it may be
necessary to cover them for a few
nights with several thicknesses of
newspaper to protect them from the
cold.
tomatoes require a moderately rich
soil, not too rich, but just such soil as
will grow good crop of corn or pota-
toes. A little welI-rotted manure can
be worked into the spot where each
plant is to be set and tablespoon OF
high grade fertilizer sprinkled over
a space about one foot in diameter
and mixed with the soil will aid in
giving the plant a good start. Plant
ing distances will depend upon wheth-
er the plants are to be pruned to a
single stem and trained to stakes or
are to be allowed to grow according
to their natural habit of spreading
over the ground. If the plants are
to be trained they may be set in rows
as close as three feet, and spaced
eighteen inches in the row. If they
are not to be trained the plants should
be set three to four feet apart in each
direction.
The best way to apply commercial
fertilizer to the home garden is to
scatter 1t bros beast over the ground
after it has been plowed or spaded and
then harrow or rake it well in order
to mix the plant food with the soil.

BRAVERY OF EAGLE IMPUGNED
Those Who Know Him Say Monarch
Of the Air 10 Bitterly Devoid
Of Real Courage.

The golden eagle, although large Is
not courageous. He never makes the
smallest attempt to defend his nest,
and his prey consists of small defense
less animals, like blue hares, new
born lambs and ptarmigan. In this
connection, a correspondent sends the
following story: Climbing up hill on
my way home, one day, ran into the
shepherd In charge Of the beat. He
had large canvas bag over his shout
der, which shepherds carry on the hill
at this time of the year. II had
large rent In IT, and round about the
rent the canvas was very bloodstained.
/ casually asked the shepherd how the
bag had got into the wars, and this
was his story, which have no doubt
was perfectly accurate. On the pre-
vious day he had been out on the hills
soon after daylight On one of the
higher tops he found dead sheep.
with live lamb; he put the lamb into
the bag and laid the bag In cairn
while he went down into the corrie
below to see after the sheep there.
When he reached the cairn on his re-
turn he found the following state of
things; there was a large rent In the
bag, from which blood was exuding
freely; the lamb, still inside the bag,
had been torn open and the liver and
heart removed. That was the, work
Of the eagle. AS he came sailing over
the tops his eye must have caught
the bag; probably the unfortunate
lamb gave kick inside, and made
to come down for a near inspection.
Having satisfied himself what the bag
contained, he tore 1t open and pro-
ceeded to break up the lamb.

Vancouver, B. C. Nov. 23rd "A spe-
cial cable to the Vancouver World last
night that while the Prince of Wales was
entering a building in Bombay on Mon
day night a club was thrown at his head
by some one in the crowd of spectators.
The club missed its mark, and the Prince
passed into the building unframed. A
great crowd had assembled to witness
the arrivals for the ball which was being
given in connection with the Princes
visit to Bombay. The a~ssailant escaped
in the confusion which followed the
attack.
London, Nov. 22nd.-In commenting
on Premier Brands speech before the
Washington Conference, the morning
newspapers follow the respective atti-
tudes which they maintained toward
Frances policy in keeping a big army.
There is one section of opinion which
sees in France a militaristic revengeful
spirit and another which is constantly
distrustful of Germany and consequently
regards France as justified in keeping
prepared for a possible attack.
Paris, Nov. 22nd.-France speaks
through the mouth of BRAND, the al
most universal caption in the morning
papers over the accounted the French
premiers address at the Washington
Conference.
London, Nov. 22nd. The Northcliffe
newspapers today strongly demand that
the AnglO-Japanese treaty be scrapped
forthwith. The Times argues that theex
istence of the treaty is contrary to British
interests, impedes cordial understanding
between the United States and Great
Britain and generallylhinders peace.
Melbourne, Nov. 23rd Opposing a la
hour motion introduced in parliament
for the reduction of the air force appro-
priation Mr.. Hughes declared today that
Australia cannot yet rely over much
on the Washington Conference. The
United States and Japan have launched
new warships, he declared while Great
Britain to show good faith stopped
building, throwing Thousands out of
work, therefore, 1T would be unwise to
scrap our air force The motion was
rejected.
Berlin, Nov. 23rd.-In a statement is
sued to the associated press, the German
Govt. officially takes issue with the
words of M. BRAND in his address be-
fore the Washington Conference yester-

Irish situation was described in Govt,
circles as critical. but not hopeless. Mr..
Lloyd George explained to the Sim
Feiners that the Govt was willing to ap-
ply strong moral pressure to Ulster and
to offer Sir James Craig attractive fnan-
clal inducements to persuade him to
agree to the only possible settlement
of an All-lrelaDd parliament, but if these
proposals were rejected, either by the
Sim Fein of Ulster the Govt. would not
introduce any act in parliament which
would include Ulster, against her will.
The Govt. explained that to force Ulster
to accept, would require the sending of
troops in defiance of the pledges of all
parties against physical coercion. Mr..
Lloyd George will discuss the question
further with the Ulster Premier on Fri
day after which Sir James Craig will re-
turn to Belfast for the formal ~reopening
OF the Northern Parliament.
Washington, Nov. 23rd-The Irish
question was brought before the United
States Senate for a moment yesterday,
with the introduction of a resolution
by Senator La Toilette Republican Wis
consin) to express the hope that the
Senate for the success of the present
negotiations in London. The preamble
says that conditions resulting from the
Irish controversy are "a constant men
ace" to the amicable relations between
Great Britain and the United States and
the hope is expressed that a treaty of
peace will issue which will guarantee
Great Britain against hostile aggres-
sion and secure the recognition of the
existing Govt. in Ireland. Resolution
was ordered 10 lie on the table. Senator
La Toilette announced however that
he expected to call it up at the earliest
opportunity after the regular session
has convened.
British West india. Nov. 23rd.-The
Govt. gave a state banquet in honour
of the Prince of Wales today.
London, November 23rd. The Times"
today publishes a statement by the Hon.
Edward Wood, Parliamentary Under
Secretary of State for the Colonies, re-
garding West Indian problems and his
forthcoming tour. in which he referred
20 health and education questions and
also the foundation of IN agricultural
college. After abiding to constitutional
problems, he discussed the complications
OF the present currency system and the
need of seigniorage being applied for the
benefit of the West Indies.

missioned officers of the old army, is
incorrect, and that on the contrary the
bulk of the Reichwehr is made up of
youths between the ages of 10 and 81 re-
cruited since the war. The statement
then says that the protection police
were created at the bidding of the En-
tente.
Washington, Nov. 23rd.-The anti
medical beer bill was signed by Presi-
dent Harding.
London, Nov. 23rd. The touring Aus

London, Nov. 23rd The Morning
newspapers editorially express the ut
most satisfaction at the betrothal of
Princess Mary to an E~nglishman and
equally apr owe her choice of a husband
in Viscount Lascelles. 1t is emphasized
that there would have been a general
disappointment if she had married a
member of foreign Royalty and thus
have left England, where she Is uni
v~ersally popular. Her choice, says one
newspaper, Will suit the democratic
and romantic instincts of the British
people and the modern views of mon
archy in an age when the dynastic prin-
ciple is under RECONSTRUCTION. "The
betrothal of Pincess Mary makes it cas-
Ter to believe that the Prince of Wales
in his tour will make a marriage which
will appeal to the same romantic demo-
cratic sentiments of the nation, is
typical of the comments. Meanwhile,
expressions of qualification over the be-
trOthal are eOmiBg from pe&Nhs h all
parts Of the Empire. Congratulatory
messages were pouring into Bucking-
ham Palace today from every direction,
bearing affectionate expressions of 10y
atty and Good Wishes from all parts of
the British country. A large crowd as
sembled outside the Palace this morn
ing in the hope of greeting the Princess
when she drove out. Meantime the
Irish guards band played bright tuneful
selections in the forecourt of the Palace
during the customary changing Of the
guard.

 CHAPTER XIII
Sentenced to Hang.

Sheriff Tom Flowers and four able deputies rode out of Cartersville very early on the following morning. They went to the Big Pine mountain country, and. by scheme that entailed some shrewdness on the part of the chief officer. arrested two Balls and two Torreys on suspicion and took them away without trouble.
 The two Balls and the two Torreys were lodged in the Gainesville jail and offered their liberty and exonera- tion from all blame in the dynamiting affair if they would give the names of the other guilty parties and appear against them. The mountaineers de- clared stoutly that they knew nothing whatever of the matter, and when pressure was applied they grew sullen and refused to talk at all
 It was plain to Flowers that they did know something about it, and he finally ordered that they be kept in a cell on diet of bread and water until

way between the Halfway switch and the opening of the coal vein, and stopped him with an unpraised hand.
 Do you know good coal when ye see it?" he drawled.
 Why" asked Dale, on his guard.
 The stranger looked sharply in all directions, as though he wished to make sure that no person was within earshot of them. Evidently satis- fed he drew from a trousers pocket a shining black lump of coal, which he held out for Dale's inspection.
 What do ye think O this here?" he wanted to know.
 Dale took the lump and examined it closely. It was apparently as good as the Moreland coal, which had sent the expert Hayes into raptures. Dale then looked closely at the stranger. He appeared to be honest; his gaze was steady, and seemed very inno- cent.
 "Where did you get this?' Dale asked.
 The alert eyes narrowed. Do ye think this here vein you're a-fixin' to

 'Eo me that is proof that you four are guilty" grimly smiled the sheriff. And if your folks want to try storm ing the jail, let them. A full com pany of militia can be rushed here within an hour, at any time, and we'll give your folks all the fun they want" :"
 It may be recorded that the four hillmen never confessed.

 Bill Dale, closely shadowed by one lanky Samuel Heck with his inevitable, ever-ready rifle, went among the work CTS with a cheer that he did not feel. For Caleb MOreland was in jail, and Caleb Moreland was innocent But there was one sincere delight for Dale: Hayes was driving the little railroad ahead with all his might and all the might of his men. Hayes was in high favor with those under him i; they worked even harder when he was absent than they worked when he was standing over them.
 The days ran on, and there was no sign of hostile demonstration from the Balls and Torreys Judging from appearances, they were wholly satis- fled with Caleb Moreland's being in jail
 Henderson Golf had disappeared. Dale hoped that he was rid of the man for all time, but he wasn't. Golf was not so confident as was Major Bradley that he could establish his innocence in the matter of the dynamiting of the two buildings and the trestle. He wished very much to steer clear of arrest, for reasons of his own. and he was biding his time in a little town in western North Carolina. When the dynamiting affair had blown over, he would go back and try again. perhaps by an altogether new scheme, to get himself into possession of the More land coal
 Then there came to the neighbor- hood a man whom no Moreland, and none of the Littlefords, had ever set eyes upon before. He was very un- couth mountain man, with long black hair and shaggy beard: his clothing was outlandish and ragged. He had not much to say; there was about him, somehow, an air of mystery.
 Two days after his arrival. in the afternoon, the stranger met Dale mid

 "You've evidently overlooked the fact that another man confessed to the killing. and that that was why they liberated me" said Dale.
