the faint ghost Of q smile touched the
once kindly and merry mouth.
They said good-by to her at the
church, the villagers and old friends
who had loved her, and Peter and
two or three men alone followed her
down along the winding road that led
to the old cemetery. Cherry was
hanging over the bedside of her hus-
band, who still miraculously fingered
through hours of pain, but as Peter,
responsive to a touch on his arm,
crossed the church porch to blindly

Salt and Dampness.

Salt is what is called "hygrosco-
pic" that is, 1t eagerly absorbs mols-
ture. In fact, both air and salt are
absorbents of moisture and 1t is a
contest between them as to which
gets 1t. Results depend on atmos-
pheric conditions. Ordinary atmos-
phere always contains proportion
of moisture, and warm air is apt to
be more humid than cold, as 1t ab-
serbs and holds water vapor more
readily than cold air. Salt has such
affinity for moisture that under such
conditions 1t draws it from the air.
When the air becomes dry, the mois-
ture is given up by the salt, which In
turn becomes dry as 1t returns the
moisture to the air.

button herself into one of the crisp
blue ginghams, chatter on the road
In her usual fashion. And If, for a
few moments, the train of memory
fired by the sight OF the old Doctors
grave became too poignant and tears
came, she always scolded herself with
that mixture Of childish and maternal
impatience that was so characteristic
of. her, and that Peter had seen her
use to this very father years ago!
He remembered her, tall, awkward

red on her high cheekbones, untidy
black hair, quick tongue and ready

days, when he had criticized and pat
ronized her, and told her that she
should be more like Anne and little
Cherry!
He remembered being delegated, one
day, to take her into town to the den-
tiss, and that upon discovering that
the dentist was not in his office, he had
taken her to the circus instead. She
had been about thirteen, and had eaten
too many peanuts, he thought, and
had lost petticoat in full sight Of the
grandstand. But how grateful and
happy she had been!

CHAPTER xv,'l-con.'nued.


A last curve, and they knew. Over
pne of the sharpest and ugliest Of the
descending precipices, crashing down
through the saplings and underbrush
and striking the trunks of score of
trees on its way, the heavy car had
fallen like boulder. And Peter saw
that 1t was Alix's car, and with q great
cry he sprang over the bank and, slip
ping and stumbling, followed its mad
course down almost to the dry creek
bed In the canyon, and fell on his
knees beside the huddled figure that,
erect and strong, in Its striped blue
gingham, had been Alix only a few
short minutes ago.
She had been flung clear Of the car,
and although every bone in her body
was broken, by some miracle the face,
except for a deep cut where the brown
hair met the tanned forehead, was un-
touched. And as he caught her in his
arms and bent over her with the bit
terness of death stopping his own
heart, soft, thick braid loosened and
fell like the touch of her hand upon
his own, and it seemed to him that In
the tranquil face and In the very look
Of the closed and fast-shadowing eye
lids he caught a glimpse Of Alix's old
smile.
Peter forgot everything else In the
world. He held her close to him and
put his face against her face, and per-
haps she had never so truly been his
own as in this moment Of their part

FOOTBALL

The game of football is right much
like war in some respects; it has an
offensive and defensive action. In
war one side invades and the other
side defends. Then when the other
side gets the upper hand and invades
it is up to the home side to defend
its home or its goal with it's back
to the wall and never to yield an
inch, unless pushed back by over
whelming strength.
Offensive
A successful offensive in football
mustbe made within a safe time limit
and must work hard to secure a safe
margin in the score. Three and four
and five touchdowns are not too many.
And the earlier in the game they are
made the safer the final outcome.
But a determined heroic comeback
must always be looked for and must
be successfully combatted with a stiff
sure defensive. Offensive in football
consists of about six or seven things:
/. Line drives for good gains. This
is straight football and is slow but
sure. 1t REQUIRES a good line to
made openings and a powerful back
field man to go through quickly and
irresistably with the ball. 2. End
runs gain more rapidly. The end
runner must be fast and furious. He
must be good dodger, strong in
the legs, back, shoulders and arms.
He must be an adept at stiff-arming,
singing, wiggling, crawling, and 9TH
er methods of self-defense. He must
have good running mates or good
interference by his mates, if
he is to get away with long end runs.
3. Forward passes. Forwards must
be thrown accurately and a good dis
tance with reference to your own
receivers. The fastest runners should
receive and their interference should
be ready. And passer and receivers
must coordinate. There is mathe-
matics.lots Of tin this play. The
play must be done quickly and the
receivers should be scattered out so
as to m'slea1 the defense. Successful
forwards require lots Of practice and
training. 4. Trick plays and tackle
overtackles, passing the ball around
and then going through the enemy's
weakest place. Misleading the enc
my and using strategy sometimes re-
results in long gains. 5. Intercept
ing passes and racing for the goal,

Clover Increases Cora Yield

c. NJ FOy, who lives four miles
from Treuton in Jones county, has
found that il pays to use a legume
in building up his crop Yields. In a
demonstration conducted in ec-opera-
tion with County Agent f. F. Fleteh-
er this past season, an acre of land
which was planted to corn gave some
Interesting results. This entire acre
was fertilized with l25 pounds of an
S-S-3 fertilizer before the corn was
planted on May l6. All of the land
in the acre was the same type. On
one-fourth Of the acre, crimson Glow
er was plowed under before the corn
was planted: one-fourth had the
clover grazed and the stubble plowed
under; one fourth was given top
dresser of 200 pounds of an 0-9-2 and
one-feurth was used as a check plot
with nothing added except the regu-
lar fert l:zer used over the whole
acre when the corn was planted.
Here are the yields:
Plot with clover, 4l.5 bushels per
.cre.
Plot with clover stubble, 27.7
bushels per acre.
Plot with top-dresses, 3i.6 bushels
per acre.
Plot used as check, 26.4 bushels
per acre.
This demonstration proves that
clover will help to increase the av-
erage yield because the plot which
WAS fert Lied with an S-3-3 mixture
gave only 1854 bushels, while the plot
on which the clover was ployed under
before the same fertilizer was added
gave 4 yield of AIS, an increase Of
over Is bushels per acre. f. c. Blair
of the division of agronomy assisted
Mr.. Fletcher and Mr.. Foy in conduct
ng this demonstration and the re-
u Is show that the farmers of this
sec ion should begin the practice of
using more legumes in their crop
bu lding and land building opera
tions.

How to Find a Market For
Upion County Raised Pork

Answering the e-ernal question,
What if everybody in the eoun y
went into the hog business?" Mr.. I,
J. W. Broom. county agent, quotes
Mr.. W. Y. Lewis. livestock marketing
agent for the North Carolina agrieul-
tural extension service. as follows:
''ln the past each farmer produc-
ing a few hogs other than those for
hCme use has looked TO his local
butcher to use them. This caused a
great variation in the pricerof hogs
and made it almost impossible for the
farmer to get what his hogs were
worth because he competed with 9TH
er farmers who were doing the same
thing.
"Now, the safe and sSle hing to do
is to consider putting these extra hogs
on the market in the regular channels
used by farmers in the hog produc-
ing sections of the West and farmers
west of us where the cotton boil Wee
vii has forced them to raise more
hogs. This step is to sell these hogs
as live hogs on the central markets.
Naturally, you Will ask how can
this be done? ne answer is simple.
Use what is known as cooperative
shipping. 1t is handled in. this man.
ner: When enough farmers together
have 20 to 100 hogs weigh 'ng from
1870 to 200 pounds each, these hogs
are brought to town on certain day
and shipped in stock car.
I'm order that each farmer may
get the money from the sale Of his
own hogs they are given a mark made
by clipping the hair at certain por-
ton of the body, usually on the hams,
shoulders and back. Each farmer has
his own mark and his hogs are sepa-
rated out from the others and sold on
the market so that each gets a check
after his proportionate part of the
expenses are deducted.
"The hogs are usually shipped in
the name of bank and the checks
are forwarded to the farmers making
up the shipment, or they are placed
to their credit.

require lots Of practice. I. keepin.

gains are two things Of extreme i'm

self-eonidenee TO the point where you
just know you can do il. Remember
that many man has comeback at

was disabled and the enemy thought
he had him whipped.
Defensive Football
Defensive football play consists of
about half a dozen things: /. Holding
the line and checking the advance
when the enemy is on the offensive.
Ii takes strong unyielding line play
ing low to do this. Let every man
throw his man for loss, and no
man let the runner break through.
2. The tackles and the ends must
be able to break up Interference and
get the end runner before he has
made his required gain. This is alb
solutely necessary when near the
enemy's goal because the backfeld
these fast end runners must be a sure
cannot get him in tine. Getting
these fast end runners must be a sure
thing. 8. Breaking up or intercept
ing forward passes before they are
completed. 1t takes quick work TO
do this. When pass can be inter.
cepted and caught and carried toward
your own goal, defensive is sudden
ly changed into q beautiful offensive.
If you are playing against Il fast
backfield, you must he as quick and
speedy as lightning .: intcrceptine
their forwards and at tackling and
stopping end runners. 4. Keep the enc
my away from the oertre of the
field. Hold them fer downs when
near the goal and then carry the
ball back against strong team. Ii
is necessary to carry on 4 powerful
offensive and defensive during the
entire four quarters. Resting on
laurels is dangerous. Contributed.
