Congressman Padgett Dead.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Representa-
tive Lemuel p. Padgett, Of Tennes-
see, died early to-day at his home
here
Mr.. Padgett, who was wartime
chairman Of the House naval COM
mittee, had been Ill at his residence
for two months. The body will be
taken to his home at Columbia,
Tenn, for burial.
First elected from the Seventh
Tennessee district to the 57th Con-
gress, Mr.. Padgett had served con-
tinuously for twenty-five years. He
was the dean Of the delegation.
Because Of his illness he had been
unable to return to Tennessee to
conduct his campaign for renomina-
tion in the State primary, set for to-
morrow. While he hadl opposition,
his friends believed that there was
little danger Of his defeat.
In the recent House fight over the
naval appropriation bill Mr.. Padgett
attracted attention by standing firm
against efforts to reduce the person
mel Of the navy below the figure
which the President and the depart
nlent regarded as unwise. Although
most members Of his party voted to
cut the enlisted forces, Mr.. Padgett
opposed 1t, declaring his experineco
as former head Of the naval commit
tee convinced him the country could
not afford to "go as low" as tho
trainers Of the bill had contemplated.

How The Master Driver
Became Master Tire Builder

I'm 1908, driving the 1909" racing
car, Barney Oldfeld started his
career of victories that later
earned him the title of Master
Driver Of The World" To over
come the tire weaknesses that made
racing difficult and dangerous, he
studied tires specified materials
supervised construction.
Today, Barney OldHeld is known
as the Master Tire Builder"
Starting with the crude tires which
carried the "999" one mile in sixty
seconds, Oldfeld gradually de-
veloped his famous Cords-a set of
which covered 600 miles at eighty
eight miles an hour without
change.
In three years Oldield tires have

UNKNOWN MAN IS FOUND DEAD.
Was Cripple, and Besides His Name
Nothing is Known >of Him.
(Spartanburg Journal, 3D.

NSpoi Joolhui, oN.J
Elmer Lewis, a white man about
So years of age, was found dead in
his room at Mrs. II. G. Bells board
ing house on Magnolia street about
noon to-day. Mr.. Lewis had been in
the city for several days selling pen-
ellis. He was a cripple and came
to Spartanburg at intervals. He was
we'll known at the boarding house,
but he had never spoken about any
relatives, and left nothing to indi-
cate where his family lives.
A few hours before his remains
were found Mr.. Lewis went to the
kitchen for some hot water with
which to shave. When he did not
come to lunch, before the table was
cleared off lad was sent to his
room for him. The lad found him
lying on the floor with his face down.
He thought the man asleep and re-
ported that he could not awaken
him. An investigation disclosed the
fact that he was dead, and had ap-
parently just died few moments
before bing found.
All efforts to locate any one re-
lated to him have been futile so far.
1t is thought that his family probably
lives somewhere in Georgia.

BEEKEEPING OFFERS
BIG OPPORTUNITIES
Clover Region Particularly Adapt
ed to Industry.
Few Places in Which 1t Is Not POSI-.
BILE to Keep Honey Gatherers
With Good Profit Under
Proper Management.

Prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
The clover region of the United
States offers splendid opportunities for
beekeeping These possibilities, to-
gether with the requirements neces-
sary for the success Of the undertak-
ing, are discussed in recent publica-
ton of the United States Department
Of Agriculture, Farmers Bulletin 1215,
Beekeeping In the Glover Region. by
e. F. Phillips and George s. Demuth
Of the division Of Bee-Culture Investi-
cations. While not all parts of the
clover region are equally good, there
are few places, it is pointed out, In
which 1t Is not possible to keep bees
with profit under proper management.
The typical clover region occupies
the northeastern part Of the United
States, extending west into Minnesota
and south approximately to the Ohio
river and Mason and DixOn's line. 1t
appears on the west coast In Wash
ington and Oregon. In both east and
west the region extends into Canada.

LIVESTOCK BREEDERS
URGED TO EXHIBIT.
THEIR STOCK AT.
ARIZONA STATE FAIR

Tucson, >Ariz., Oct. 13-Pro-
gressive breeders of livestock
will want to have their animals
at the State Fair on October 80
to November 4th, says DR.. R. H.
Williams, Animal Husbandry,
University of Arizona. 1t is
not to win ribbons and premium
money that induces all the best
breeders to show their stock.
They feel their animals are worth
showing the public, and they al
SO want to compare their pure
breds with the best in the State.
The State Fair is the foot rule
to measure herd type and useful
ness of the animals. Much val.
liable information can be secured
by being an active Snowman ra-
ther than an interested spectator.
Arizona stockmen should have
a big representation of horses,
cattle, sheep and hogs at the
coming Fair.

Best Strains.

some of the best portions being To-
Gated north <Of tne national boundary
Limited areas Of less value are found
outside these boundaries.
The opportunities for beekeeping in
this region, are not being utilized as
completely as in some other beekeep-
ing regions of the country. There are
vast areas of the clover region not ad-
eQuately covered by bees, and also
many places where, because of the
methods Of beekeeping practiced, the
beekeepers are failing to produce the
best possible crops.
Beekeeping to be profitable In this
region must be conducted with all pos
sible skill. Better methods, 1t Is be-
lieved, will result in a greater devel-
Opment of the industry. Because of
the presence of European foulbrOod In
some parts Of the clover region, and es-
pecially because Of the superior quail
ity of the Italian race of bees, the bee
keeper of this region will find it great
ly to his advantage to keep this va
riety. Italian bees are able, under
good management, to clean out the
larvae dead Of European foulbrood.
Not all strains of this race are equal
ly good for this purpose, and the bee
keeper should take pains to get the
best.

One Of the youngest Of American
writer's to achieve instantaneous sue
cess. His first novel, "The Voice Of
the Pack" was published in 1920,
and was one of the most noteworthy
books of that year.
Then success came to him from a
different kind Of literary effort, for
he won the o. Henry prize for the
best American short story of 1921.
The award is an annual offering
made by the Society of Arts and
Sciences of New York as memorial
to O. Henry. In addition to the rec
ognition it carried a cash bonus of
$500, which was ample for Mr.. Mar
shall to journey from his home in
Medford, Oregon, to receive the dis
tinction and be guest of honor at the
dinner which accompanied it.
Just a country newspaper boy who
started in to write big stories of ro-

has duplicated the success of the first
one. We have been fortunate enough
to secure it as serial for this paper.

THE TWO FRIENDS
Mrs. Frances J. Edwards

Mrs. Frances J. Edwards
Two friends were walking on the
street,
And SO it seemed by chance did meet;
Then as they talked in friendly chat,
Sometimes of this, and then of that,
It seemed some word had called to
mind
The faults and follies of mankind;
Show me my faults that may see,
Said one, what others think of me.
[ did not know, and yet had thought,
Perhaps I might, perhaps l ought,
Just mention it, a thing so small
Perhaps should claim no thought at
all.
Yet faults and habits never know
Just when they should no longer grow.
Some neighbor, friend, well-meaning
too,
Has seen some fault or wrong in you.
And I, myself, your friend indeed,
Would gladly prove friend in need
Upon fabric pure and white
One drop if ink shows black as night.
One fault, as black as night, will show
Upon a character of snow
One, soon, as many will appear,
When gossip "gets it by the ear
I'll say no more, but let it pass;
My house-its walls are made of
glass;
Not that you have, or great or small
Failings that | can see at all:
Your walls, though glass, are forti-
fed
By scores of friends on every side;
l have no house or roof at all,
To shield me from the blows that fall;
So, as I stem the storms of fate,
| beg you'll not insinuate;
For black is black, and white is white
You can not change it Sir; god night
