Man Meets Horrible Death

Ames, Iowa-Robert Bell, 35, OF
Greenup, Ill, was sheltered to death
yesterday in a grain bin of the Ames
Grain and Coal Company. He was a
farm helper, employed by Harry
Maxwell, who lives just east of town.
Bell had driven to town to get a
load of chaff, and while loading the
wagon the grain chute became clog
ged. He entered the bin with a
pitchfork, intending to open the chaff
flow. 1t gave way all of a sudden,
covering and smothering the man be-
fore he could get out of the bin.
The whole affair took place in ff-
teen minutes for he was seen outside
at 10 a. m. and his body was taken
out of the bin at 1915 a. m. His
pitchfork was seen protruding from
the bin and from that it was discov-
cred that he was buried in the chaff.

CAN YOU BEAT THIS?
Man Whips Wife Because She
Served Chicken.

mer living near Remsen, was given
thirty days in Jail for beating his
wife.
"What did you want to go and do

eating up" a surplus stock of chick
ems on the farm, and that he was
heartily tired of chickens. He had
eaten so many chickens, he said, that
ne cackled in his sleep. Whereupon,
he said, he ordered her to get some
thing he could sink his teeth into,
beef steak, for instance, and when
she served chicken again he soothed
his feelings by beating her up
Mrs. Rupp said she had ordered
steak, but the mail man VINO was to
deliver it had been delayed.

Michigan Graveled Roads

John Wilson, of this office, who
has just returned from whole sum-
mer vacation spent in northern Mich
igan, thinks that Iowa might learn
some thing about gravel roads from
survey of that state. In his opin-
ion the gravel roads of Michigan are
full equal to the hard surfaced
roads here and are built at a frac-
ton of the cost.
They were graded and drained
many years ago and given a liberal
thickness of gravel. The material
is abundant in that state, and gravel
pits are opened here and there so
that the haul is not long. Of course
that makes ideal conditions.
But that is not the whole of it.
When the roads are built-that is
to say ever since they have been
built-loads of gravel are dumped
at intervals by the side of the road.
This is for repair work and man
with wheelbarrow does the rest.
He is constantly on patrol of his
section as the roads dry out. When
flood does damage-which is not
often-he repairs it. The result is
that one may drive easily and COM
fortably over these roads at all
times; in the spring as well as in
the summer and autumn, the day
before a rain, the day it is raining
and the day after it has rained.
There is no such thing as "laying
up" until the roads dry out. Neither
are there any ruts or bumps.
This same system is used in Eng
land-has been used there for al
most two hundred years and there
has never been a demand for any
better sort of paving because the
gravel paving is good enough

CROWDS STAMPEDE SALE
Aluminium Ware Sale at N. r.
Croft Hardware Co Biggest
Thing Of Its Kind in
Years.

This morning at ten o'clock the
famous one day triangle sale OF
quality brand Aluminium ware open
ed at the N. r. Croft Hardware Co,
and the store was jammed with Gus
toners before the hour of the open
ing. Ropes were tied across the
aisles shutting off the customers
from the ware. Just at ten o'clock
these ropes were cut, and one of the
greatest sales ever opened here was
on. The people fairly fought for the
various pieces, and it was case of
everybody buying, and getting the
biggest bargains, we believe ever
offered.
The streets were lined in all dir
ections from the store with people
carrying home armsful of the
aluminium ware The sale is lasting
for ten hours today, and of course
there is still an opportunity to get
some of the ware. Without doubt
people will remember this sale for
years, not only because the aluminium
ware has a 20 year guarantee but
because they had the opportunity of
buying it at the smallest price such
ware was ever offered before. 1t
is great sale and N. R. Croft and
son are to be congratulated on its
success.

THE MANNING TIMES, Manning, S. c..

When the plants are to be staked
they may be set 2 feet apart each
way, or every 18 inches in rows 8
feet apart. Any substantial stake of
sufficient size to bear the weight of
the plants and or feet long is
suitable. Sawed strips or laths may
be used. A stake is driven about 3
inches from each plant, which is
tied to it at intervals Of 8 to 10
inches as the stem develops. Soft
strings or narrow strips of cloth are
used for this purpose.
When the plants begin making a
vigorous growth, shoots will appear
in. the little pockets where each leaf
joins the stem. Later the blossoms
appear on the opposite side of the
stem: In pruning the plant, remove
all these side shoots and those
around the base of the plant, being
careful not to disturb the blossom
clusters. The shoots, sometimes
called suckers, should be pinched off
shortly aft ter they appear The main
stem can be carried TO the full height
of the stake, then allowed to hang
over. By this time six or seven
blossom clusters, on which the fruit
is developing, should be set on the
STEM
