POE M|SQUOTED
ON PEDESTAL Of
H|SOWN STATUE
Discovery Made That Line
From "The Raven" Differs
With Original.

BALTIMORE. Nov. Is. - Edgar
Allan Poe has been misquoted on his
own statue. The Sir Moses Ezekiel
monument to him In Wyman Park i'm
mortalizes the poet himself, a thing
that Poe never wrote and that au-
thorities say he never would have
written.
lover OF Poe's work brought 10
attention yesterday the misquotation
on the pedestal that holds the statue
over which Sir Moses Ezekiel worked
for nearly q decade. 1t is from THE
Raven" and reads:
Dreaming dreams no mortals ever
dared to dream before"
IL was pointed out that Poe had
written II mortal" without ar -.
Several editions OF Poe's works were
examined and IL was found that in all
OF them the word was mortal" and
not 'mortals." Prof. c. Alphonso

Poe. was communicated with at An
liapolis. He delivered the principal
address when the statue was unveiled
and dedicated several weeks ago and
saw the statue and pedestal at that
time.
Poe wrote II mortal" said Prof.
Smith. He never would have written
it 'mortals.' The use OF the s. gives
the line a harsh sound. quite different
from the soft liquid sound 1t has with
out the s. DR.. KILN Campbellis
edition of Poe has a footnote relating
to the word. The note states that the
Griswold edition Of Poe. published in
1850, had the word 'mortais.' but that
this was doubtless a typographical err
ror. That is correct; 1t was a typo
graphical error.
IT saw the statue when ! attended
the dedicatory exercises that day. but
I did not notice the inscription on 1t.
I did not have time to read 1t. anyway.
II is too bad to have misquoted him

URGES PASSAGE OF
 MARKETING BILL
MT. TIllman Also Replies to Charges That Measure is
 Class Legislation

Washington, May 1.-The story of an Arkansas farmer who sold two calf hides for g cents and then was charg- ed 10 cents for a piece Of facing leather a half inch wide was read into the record to- day by Representative Tillmac of Arkansas during a speech in support of the farmer CO., operative marketing bill.
 Mr. Tillman also took occa- sicn to reply to Representative Walsh of Massachusetts, who had characterized the bill as class legislation.
 Since when did statesmen from New England become frightened at class legisla- tion?' he asked. "A vast moneyed aristocraey has grown up in that exclusive and cultured section because of class legislation. but be t understood that the New En- gland idea of class legislation always has been to extend special and profitable tariff protection to her citizenrg en- gagged in manufacturing elo- thing, shoes and a thousand other necessary articles and let the consumer of those pro- ducts and the farmer go hans
 MT. Tillman declared that it was the favored section of New England that manufac- tured the piece of facing string which cost the farmer as much as an entire calf hide, and to which he had to pay tribute when he went to purchase new harness CT . saddle.

of 200 to 300 lbs of 16 per cent acid phosphate per acre lis recommended. For the av- craze soils of this county, probably the best fertilizer for cotton and corn is two parts acid phosphate to one part cotton seed meal applied at the rate of 200 to 300 lbs. per acre.
 You should not expect to get the maximum milk pro duetion from yeur cows if you are not feeding them some grain to supplement the pasture. The COW should have about one pound of grain to each three pints of milk produced. A good rule is to feed the cow all she will respond to in milk production. and when she begins to put on flesh cut down the grain.
 Within the next few weeks the Farm Bureau will start T drive for members and for  membership in a cotton mark eting association. This is the biggest thing in the way of cooperative marketing asso- ciation that has ever been at tempted in the south. The drive will last for three weeks, and representatives of the Farm Bureau will go into each school district and hold meetings and explain the de- tails of the cotton association.

 Now is the time to preserve your eggs for winter use. They are selling at d very low price now and may be pre- served at a cost of from two to three cents per dozen. To preserve 15 dozen eggs Clean and scald five gallon crock, put in nine quarts of water that has been boiled and cooled, add 1 quart of water glass and stir the mix ture thoroughly. Place the eggs in this solution allowing at least two inches of the so- lution to cover the eggs at all times. Place the crock in cool dry place, we'll covered to prevent evaporation. When fresh, clean eggs are preserv- ed by this method, they may be kept from 8 to F months in excellent condition and used with good results.
 Good egg production is largely dependent on properly balanced egg-laying ration. You cannot get the best re- suits from your hens if they are not properly fed. For the maximum results, the hens must have animal protein. This may be had in the form ef meat scraps. skinned milk or buttermilk. If milk IS used, the hens should have all they will drink. The follow ing is ration that should in- crease egg production:
 3 lbs. corn meal 2 lbs crack ed corn, l lb. meat scraps, l ID. cats, milk may be substi- tuted for the meat scraps.
 The wealth of Indepen- dence County is in it's agriculs ture, and to keep it we must increase our production bE improving the soil fertility This may be done by proper drainage, deeper and better blowing, adding humus by liberal application of barn. yard manure, and growing le- gumes tc be turned under, and by the use of high grade com mercial fertilizers.

Indoor Tourney to Serve
As Tuning-U -UpProcess for
National Championships
By Fred Hawthorne

With the Florida State and the mems
metropolitan indoor championship
tournaments now part Of tennis his
tory, the next event on the courts to
claim the attention of followers of the
game comes tomorrow, when the
women's annual metropolitan indoor
championship begins at the 18th Kegi-
ment Armory.
AS is the case with the mems tour
nament mentioned above, the women
are holding an indoor metropolitan
championship, for the first time in this
city. While some of the most prom
inent players in the East will be miss
ing from the tourney that starts to-
morrow, the entry probably Will con-
tain the names of the best Of the local
stars.
The event at the local armory will
serve as tuning up process for those
who are entered IN the women's ma
tional indoor championship at the
Longwood covered courts at Chestnut
Hill, near Boston, beginning March II.
and there we shall see the cream Of
the women tennis players Of the East
competing.
Mrs. Mallory to Play
While in Palm Beach last week I
was told by Mrs. George ". Wightman,
the former national indoor and turf
court champion, that she was expecting
the most representative list of competi-
tors that had ever begun play in this
tournament. The list is headed by
Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory, the pres
ent national title holder, followed by
Miss Marion S. Zinderstein, national
doubles and clay court champion; Miss
Helene Pollak, present national indeer
queen; Miss Edith Sigourney and Miss
Leslie Bancroft, the strong pair from
the Longwood Club; Miss Florence
Ballin, New Jersey Champion; Mrs
Benjamin E. Cole, Of Boston. and a
great gathering from this city.
Mrs. Wightman will play ONLY in the
doubles and mixed doubles, in the for
mer with Miss Zinderstein and in the
latter event possibly with Richard
Norris Williams I'd. Undoubtedly the
greatest woman doubles PLAYER in this
country to-day, Mrs Wightman looks
10 have that title fairly at her mercy.
for she and Miss Zinderstein are one
OF the smoothest working combinations
on the courts. '''~
AS for the singles title it seems to
lie between Mrs. Mallory and Miss Zin-
derstein, for they appear to outclass
the rest of the field. but the marein Of
superiority between them is 50 's. rht
