Under the instruction Of the two
former service men, the clerks and
wagon drivers soon felt at home with
the .45-caliber pistols, and before the
practice was over felt confident they
could hit any mail robber who might
dare to show himself.

From now on the daily practice with
the pistols will be a feature Of train

vital sections, handlers OF mail and
drivers of postal trucks and wagons

The Commissioners do not believe
there is need at this time for a bridge

They so advised the Senate District
committee today in reporting on bill
pending in Congress for such a bridge.
The Commissioners tell Senator BAN

question to be considered from the
Districts standpoint is whether traf-

way across the river. and they have
concluded that no such need exists at

Copyright, 1920.)

Adele had another thrill when they
came.
"He hasn't forgotten me or he
wouldn't have remembered the vio-
let's" she murmured, as she buried
her face in their sweetness. But she
said nothing of either the gift or the
giver to Helen, although usually she
shared both with her-whenever she
was fortunate enough to be remem-
bered by the young men who liked
her and who could afford flowers.
And it was with still another thrill
that she heard his voice over the tele-
phone the next day and accepted an
invitation to costume dance at one
of the studios in the Village.
"I know you love dancing and as
soon as Arens told me of this party
thought perhaps you would enjoy
going"
"I'd adore it!'
Adele told Helen she was going to
the Greenwich Village dance and ex-
pressed regret that Helen was not
going also.
IT am not interested, Adele. When
I give up an evening 1 want to do
something that gives me pleasure,
that makes me-a little bit happy.
Women in bizarre and scanty clothes,
men dancing riotously, don't interest
me. Perhaps I am getting DID," she
did not want TO nurC AQelS OF SpOlI

any enjoyment from such things. Or
perhaps I had all of them I could d.
gest when I was your age"
'To hear you talk one would think
you were at least a Methuselah,"
Adele pouted.
"I feel older than he ever did-at
times-I imagine" Helen replied,
laughingly.
"But you are only twenty-seven---I
never can understand"
almost twenty-eight, Adele. An
older woman compared to you--old in
years, and in experience"
"I shan't urge you, but wish you

"No, dear, you go and have good

kellogg another story for next month

"Frivol-you! I'd like to know

FTER Adele had told John

"A she lived at the same old
place. she wondered If she had
better mention to Helen that the
original of the photograph which she
had shown her so long ago was in
town and was coming to call. She
decided to say nothing. Helen might
not see him, probably would not.
What was the use of disturbing her!
Yet-why should John Blackton's
presence disturb her?
Adele wished she could answer
that question. 1t is proof Of the sort
of woman Helen Westfield was that
Adele had been unable to question
her. She felt as if Helen were
shrouded in a sort of veil as regard
ed her past and that it might mean
loss of her friendship If she tried
to pierce through. And above all
else that ever had come into her life,
Adele Foster cherished Helen West
fields friendship.
If Helen should meet him casually
and it distressed her, Adele would
not be to blame. She would not pre-
cipitate matters. He might not come.

was deceiving herself, and her blood

We do not advise the growing of
Meade cotton in those sections of
Georgia where roller gins are not
easily available for the delinting of
the seed. This is a strictly long
staple cotton which can be grown
soils, but if it is not ginned on a
roller gin, the lint is badly out by
the saws of the gins ordinarily used,
and its commercial value greatly re-
duced thereby. This variety is much
earlier than the ordinary Sea Island
cotton has been practically eaten out
by the boil weevil, and it does not
seem that they can raise this staple
satisfactorily any more in south
Georgia. One trouble with the Sea
Island has been it's lateness. On this
account, a special effort was made
by the college to aid in the develop,
ment of long staple type of cot
ton that would mature relatively
early. In cooperation with the
United. States department of agricul-
ture, the Meade type has been estab-
lished and its cultivation quite widely
encouraged throughout Georgia. This
year, more than 5000 acres have been
devoted to this crop. It is naturally
best to cultivate it rather extensive
~ in any given community so that
there will be a considerable volume
of the lint to be ginned and quite
large number of bales to be shipped
out, from a common center.
Even in boil weevil infested terri
tory, Meade cotton has made a yield
of about one-half bale per acre. OF
course, this is where it was growing
under the best type of management
and where a systematic fight was
made against the weevil. One will
not likely obtain as large a yield
from Meade cotton as from some of
the upland strains. but it is quite GER
tain that the large price the long
staple will bring will more than off,
set Set any difference fer in yield One I'M
crop SHOULD prepare the land as skill
fully as possible, secure only the best
type of seed and cultivate so as to
hasten maturitY as much as noSSihle

Irish potatoes. In the event it is
applied, it should have been put on
the land earlier, preferably, with the
crop grown on the soil just previous
to the seeding of the potatoes. The
only objection to using yard ma
nure in close association with this
crop is the fact that heavy applica-
lions of it especially in the strawy
form favor the growth of scab on
the potatoes. This, as you know, in
terferes with the sale of the potatoes
as it makes them present very I'M
attractive appearance.
One can use a great variety of fer
tiliZer for Irish. potatoes. AT the
time of planting we would prefer
to use a formula containing about
four per cent of nitrogen, eight per
cent of phosphoric acid and five per
cent of potash. If your land is SAN
DIV, Won may use little more phos-
phoric acid . Any materials may be
used which provide these constltu-
ents in the quantities indicated. Acld
phosphate by itself would not be a
desira BILE fertilizer to use under. irish
notatoes. We think a minimum ap-
plication of five hundred pounds de-
sirable to insure a good yield. We
realize that fertilizer is very high,
but believe that the use or the
amount and grade of fertilizer lnal-
Gated will prove more profitable than
to follow out the plan you nave IN
dicated.
