the southern plains tribes in 1874
One day, with Billy Dixon ("Hasta"-t

CARRYING dispatches from Miles camp

were surrounded by war party OF
lo5 Conlmanches and kiomas.
At the first fire from the indians Pr1-
yate Smith fell from his horse. His
companions, believing him dead, dis
mounted, abandoned their horses. anu
ran to buffalo wallow, depression

The two scouts worked swiftly with
their knives deepening the waiiow
while the three soldiers kept up hot
fire against the savages, who were rid
ing at full speed In fast-narrowinS

Suddenly Chapman noticed Private
Smith trying to rise. Boys, keep
these internal redskins off me and III
run back and get Smith," he said to
his companions. He laid down his
rifle, sprang from the waliow, and I'M

beside the wounded man, the scout
pulled Smith on his back and rose.

Dixon and his comrades opened up

GREAT PLAYS FIRST NIGHTS"
Six Occasions That Stand Out Pronl.'
nentIy in the Artistic History
OF France.

Perhaps the most striking events In,
the artistic history Of France have
been the first performances Of certain
Of the great French plays. In few
cases, also, these occasions nave
marked the beginning Of new epochss
in the social history of that country.
There have, it appears, been but six
unforgettable first nights since theaters
were established in Paris. The first
occurred in 1887 when COrneilles lie
Cid" took the capital by storm. Forty
years later Racine's "Andromache'
created a similar sensation. On the
eve Of the Revolution, in 1904, Beau
marchais' Marriage Of Figaro" was
received with such delirious enthusl-
asm that three persons were stified
in the rush for seats. In 1880 Victor
Hugo, in spite Of the determined OPP
position Of large body Of reaction
aries, set all Paris in all uproar with
his "Hernani." These names may be
horne in mind: Curneille. Racine, Beau
marchais and Hugo. Three OF them'
at least, have no superiors In the
history Of French literature. Each has
one amazing dramatic triumph to his
credit. The other two Of the six great
first nights were December %. 1897,
and February Z, 1910. The occasions
were respectively the performances OF
"Cyrano de Bergerac" and "Chan-
tecler," both by Edmond Rostand.-
Philadelphia Ledger.

HAULING ON COUNTRY ROADS
Yearly Average From 1915 to 1919
Amounted to s6,5oo,ooo Tons-
Illinois in Lead.

Eleven principal crops afforded 49,
100000 tons for hauling on country
roads in the yearly average of 1915 to
1919, or q tons per 100 acres har-
vested. Among the results of compu-
tations made, by the bureau of crop
estimates, United States Department
Of Agriculture, Illinois Is far in the
lead Of states in providing crop haul
age, and its fraction Of the United
States total is one-tenth, or S,s55,OOO
tons. Iowa has 6,590,0OO tons, and
Kansas somewhat more than one-half
Of the Illinois tonnage hauled. with
1852, 900 tons. Following in order are
Nebraska, Indiana, Ohio and Texas,
with 100000 tons in the last-named
state. The difference between high
and low costs Of hauling due to poor
or good condition of roads reaches q
large figure in the hauling Of this
great tonnage, or a large fraction
thereof.

Disinfecting solutions, such as for
maldehyde treatment placed on the
seed of grain is not likely to affect
materially the recurrence of ergot, ac-
cording to H. L. Bolley, botanist at the
North Dakota agricultural experiment
station and state seed commissioner.
Proper cultivation of the crops, rota-
ton that will prevent small grains s,ts-
ceptible to ergot being planted on the
removing Of the ergot bodies, is the
method of control which Mr.. Bolley
recommends. He says:
''Ergot develops from the enlarged
black grains which fall from the heads
or which may be sowed with the seed
If they are not graded out.
IF the ergotized bodies are not bur
led deeply i'm the soil, they terminate
and, about the time that the rye comes
in blossom, they form number of
small, mushroom like bodies on which
are developed many secondary spores.
These spores may be blown by the
wind, but because of the Odor and
sticky substances are commonly car
ried by flies, ants and ether insects to

ing grains and grasses. If the weather
conditions are right. the blossoms Of

Controlling Bin Pests.

w
Grain left in the bin from one year
to another is likely to become infested
with various insects, says DR.. 4. y.
Webster, entomologist, who warns
grain growers to clean out bins before
putting new wheat into them, and to
avoid mixing old and new grain.
Probably the most common pest is
the sawtoothed grain-beetle, which
feeds on grain both in the beetle as
well as in the grub stage. These tiny
insects also attack various foodstuffs
and are sometimes found in the home
pantry, in groceries, etc.
New grain should not be mixed with
old when placed in the bin. The old
bins should be cleaned out thoroughly
and the refuse burned, since this may
contain large numbers of the insects.
Where the bins are sufficiently tight
they may be treated with carbon disul-
phide to kill the beetles. This mater
ial is very inflammable, however, and
should be used with great, care. The
light from a pipe may easily cause a
fire.
Carbon disulphide should be used at
the rate of five pounds to every 1000
cubic feet of space in the entire bin.
The liquid eyaporates rapidly. SO it is
placed in shallow pans at the top Of
the bin. Since the vapor is heavier
than air this goes down into the bin,
killing the insects within.

HARD ROADS SAVE GASOLINE
They Also Result In Much Less
Wear and Tear on Tires, Springs
and General Comfort.

In tests recently made at Cleveland,
O., five-ton truck carrying full load
averaged .11.78 miles per gallon of
gasoline over concrete road and but
5.78 miles per gallon over an earth
road in average condition.
The truck was tested over seven
different kinds Of highway. On the
earth road the mileage per gallon Of
gasoline was as above noted, 5.79. On
fair gravel, 7,19 miles per gallon; on
good gravel, $50 miles; on fair ma
cadam, 9.49 miles; on fair brick, 9S8
miles; on good brick, 11.44 miles, and
on concrete, 11.78 miles per gallon Of
gasoline. "@..t
According to the above figures, for a
man who drives his auto 5000 miles
during the year and assuming that A.
600 miles of the total will be over me-
dunn to poor roads, the balance over
fair to good roads, the cost of gasoline
would be $40 to $50 in excess of what
it would be IL all of the road was
made of concrete.
Besides the extra expense for fuel,
there would be big saving on tires,
springs, general wear and tear and
comfort.
