YOUR CHANCE TO HELP.

I Asst week one Of the civic clubs
I'D proposed a book shower for the
Carnegie library. 1t was stated that
there must be hundreds of good
books in the private Libraries of
Americas, and that these having been
read by the family were no longer of
value, and yet there were other hun
dreds who could and would reap
hours of pleasure from them.
The Carnegie library needs more
books, books for adults and for chill
dren. There's no better companion,
these hot days, than a good book.
Why not run through your shelves
and select these books which are
GOOD, and yet of no further value
to you.
The library has no facilities for
binding books badly torn or about to
come to pieces, and care should be
taken in the selection.
If you have books you care to con-
tribute, leave them at the Times.
Recorder, where a committee will &c
over them carefully, selecting those
that the library can use.

would try to calm herself and relax
in an easy chair in a vain effort to

In the rapid fire of questions it ap-

more and more anxious to do some
thing. Vira had confessed to hen
that she had seen Garrick and when
Glen narrived he told of his meeting
on Main street and Garrick's mes

They had agreed that the first
thing to be done was to fix it sc
that the "Sea Vamp" could not be

that she be driven over there that

ANCIENT MEANS OF IMPROVING
SOIG.

GREEN manuring-plowing under
green crOps-as a means of soil
improvement, although it has been
emphasized in recent years, can hard
ly be called new discovery, says
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. 1t is really one of the
Oldest methods. Crops for this pur-
pose were used by the ancients, the
Romans using lupines, which were
soWn in September and turned under
in May for the benefit of the fol-
lowing crop.
In Germany the use of lupines be-
ban IN the middle of the nineteenth
century and has proved an important
factor IN retaining the sandy lands
OF parts of Prussia. In England le-
gumes and other plants are COM
monty used; in India and Ja-
pan the farmers gather green plants
OF many kinds, sometimes even cut
ting twigs from the trees and car
rying them to the rice fields.
In the United States the use of
special green-manure crops is much
more general in the South than in the
North. Under irrigation they play
an important part in orchard culture
m the West, but not under dry-farm-
ing conditions.
