lND RAY RANDOLPH 7 WALKS 5000 MILES } IN SEARCH OF HELP

can restore his sight. One specialist after another has told him, during the past year that there is absolutely no cure, not even help for him. Yet he will not give up.
 'Something tells me there is some cure somewhere" said MT. Randolph. And I'm going to search the world over until I get it. With my Lucie I am not afraid to go anywhere. I can't stop my search now because that something says I must keep on going. I have tried doctors all along the route. I have even visited Dr. Miles here in Bridgeport but it's al- ways the same thing, they just shake their heads. In few days I will leave for Boston to find Dr. Meyers whom I heard is a noted eye specialist
 And all the while the master talks, the trusty Lucie lies at his feet half awake, half asleep. Try as one might a person with sight cannot stir Lucie until she feels that slight jerk on the chain held by her blind master which means that she must be up and go- ing.
 Pathetic and noble is the signifi- canoe of story which the blind man tells of himself and the dog.
 While on the road I sometimes get weary and so I talk to my dog and tell her how I feel about the world, and myself and the way things are going. She then comes back and ruDS nor nead dSa1nSI lhe CdlI o1 my leg. When we were out west there were probably fifty or seventy five miles between each ranch On seeing one Lucie would bark and bark to warn me that there was house near. I know when we are :n the country because everything seems so quiet and slow but if my dog starts to walk a bit faster I know we are coming near a town and l feel better. It seems almost incredi- ble but she really knows where there is hotel or lodging place in every town. In the country we sleep in bag together"
 More faithful than any human is Lady Lucie. What friend, no matter how interested he might have been, would have walked three thousand miles, endure untold hardshSps, be ever awake as a guardian, with no personals or selfish ends in view, but just to guide a blind mans steps to someone who can help him.
 And Raymond Randolph knows the value of his dog. He wholly de- bends upon her"
 "They tell me that Lucie will live only to be twenty-two years old That means that she will die in about eleven years. At that time and only at that time will my search stop for when she is gone I will pray for death too" said Randolph as he went on his way.

A CROP RECORD

Thomas Guest of Bobtown section
made a splendid record in growing
rye and wheat. He produced 25'i
bushels Of rye per acre and Is BUSH
els Of wheat per acre. This is a
splendid record considering the sea-
son we have had. Mr.. Guest is a
good farmer. and his ideas and plans
are worth knowing.
More attention should be given to
our soils and maintaining soil fertl-
ity. It's an evident fact that if
we continue to take from the soil
plant food in the form of good
crops, and return nothing, it will be
only a question of few years until
good soils will be poor and our poor
soils turned out to the commons.
Sweet Clover is one of the best REM
edies for making the poor land rich.

All these 1921 estimates are sub
ject to revision downward or upward
as the season progresses, depending
on favorable or unfavorable weather
and other conditions hereafter. These
tobacco and corn estimates are the

of both crops was continued very

COVER CROPS

Now is the time to begin to plar
for cover crops. Every acre of poot
land should be covered with some
kind of a cover crop this winter We
need more humus in our soils. The
cover crop will help in this matter
Rye is one of the best cover crops.
and can be seeded little later than
any other crop, for the winter.
Crimson Clover is good if seeded in
August; but will not grow abundant
ly on all soils.
A cover crop will keep the lan1
from washing, lold the soil fertility,
increase the humus supply and fur
nish grazing for late fall and early
spring. Every farmer should plan
his cover crops and by doing so he
is increasing his investment.

MOTORISTS
EASY TO REPAIR TIRES

The development of materials
which make the repairing operation
very simple matter has eliminated
most of the discomfort of making an
emergency tire repair on the road.
About all motorist need carry in
his tool box for tire troubles is q
cold patch kit for inner tube repairs,
some blowout patches for repairs to
castings, some tire tape and a heal-a-
cut outfit for filing up bad cuts in
the surface of the casing.
With a cold patch kit, says a bulle-
tin of the United States Tire Com
pany, an inner tube can be perman-
emily repaired in a few minutes with
out the application of heat. This

cold kit patch consists Of a small
tin can containing a metal buffer for
roughening the surface of the tube
around the hole or slit, a tube Of
cement and sheet of rubber.
All that a driver can hope to do,
when casing blows out and he has
no spare, is to make temporary re-
