Washington, April 23.-(Special.)-- The Portuguese government has con- ferred on five enlisted men of the navy, or their next of kin, the Cruz de Guerra and relative diplomas in recognition of their most distin- guished service rendered during the World war
 One of those so honored was the late osmond Kelly Ingram of Pratt City, who was first class gunner's 8 mate of the United States navy. The navy department has forwarded the honors to the mother of the deceased, Mrs. Bettie Ingram, 5O4 Third street. Pratt City.
 Regarding the conspicuous service of Ingram, the navy issues the fol- lowing official statement:
 "Ingram.-Lost his life on October Is, 1917, when the U. S. s. destroyer Cassinu was torpedoed by a German submarine. The destroyer was pa trolling off the south coast of Ire- land and was about 20 miles south of Mine Head, at 1;30 D. m, when a submarine was sighted by a lookout aloft. When first sighted. the sub marine was awash; but about three minutes later submerged. The yes sel continued on it's course, several officers running on the bridge. searching for the submarine, and about :57 D. m. a torpedo was sight ed. apparently shortly after it had been fired, running near the surface. hA ftnl n dodge it, going at double emergency full speed. It looked for a moment as though the torpedo would pass astern. When about 15 or 20 feet away, the torpedo porpoised com plotely leaving the water, shearing to the left. Before again taking to the water the torpedo hit the ship on the broadside, above the water line. Almost immediately after the explosion of the torpedo the depth charges, located on the stern and ready for firing. exploded. There were two explosions in quick sue oession after the torpedo hit"
 Ingram was cleaning the muzzle of No. 1 gun, target practice being just over, when the attack occurred With rare presence of mind. realizing that the torpedo was about to strike the part or Ine snip Wneic lhC NNpNh charges were stored and that the set ting off of these explosives might sink the ship, he immediately seeing the danger. stripped these depth charges and threw them overheard. He was blown to pieces when the torpedo struck. Ingram sacrifices his life performing a duty which he believed would save the ship and the lives of the officers and men on board. He was the only one to lose his life. The body of the young man was blown overheard as the result of the explosion and was not recov- cred.
 sTngram first enlisted November s4 1903. He last re-enlisted May a 1917, and was serving as gunners mate, first class, at the time or ms death.

 Q.-How far apart ought water melons to be and what is best fertili- 1 Der? J. H. H., Oneonta Ala. | A.-Hills should be checked off 10 to 12 feet apart each way. No less than 400 to 800 pounds of complete fertilizer. containing 8 per cent phos- phoric acid 3 to per cent of nitro- gen and per cent potash, should be used under hills, to the acre. Not over two plants should be left to the 1 hill. Large size melons are the ones that bring the money. | J.-I see so many beautiful ferns out on the river hillsides.
