GROW TOBACCO UNDER COVER
Vast Tents Give Protection to Plants
Being Cultivated in the Con-
necticut Valley.

Travellers In the Connecticut valley
nay sometimes see many acres coy
red by white cheesecloth supported,
at height Of nine feet from the
ground, on framework of posts and
wire. Under these vast tents Sumatra
tobacco Is grown. Experiments con-
lucted by the Department Of Agricul-
ture led to the use Of this system of
protecting the tobacco plants, and the
results have been found excellent. The
light, sandy soil along the Connecti-
cut river Is well suited for the growth
Of SumatrH tobacco.
The United States government fur
nishes the seed and supervises the
cultivation. preparation and sale Of the
product, the farmers paying the cost
and receiving the profit.
That the great clothes canopies can
withstand storms was proved when a
haiist0rm caused much damage to
crops In open fields, but the acres Of
covered tobacco escaped injury. The
cost Of the shades is several hundred
dollars an acre.

Safety Deposit Free.

The story comes from Scottsburg
and it shows all the shrewd persons
are not in the large centers of popu-
lntion. A stranger of ordinary ap-
pearance and apparently Of moderate
means walked into the bank and
asked to borrow IS. He. was told the
bank did not loan such small sums,
but when he insisted that the business
of bank was to loan money. that he
needed the sum mentioned, and that
he had good collateral. the note was
made out, the banker regarding it as
good joke. Then the stranger
pulled out $4,000 worth of Liberty
bonds as collateral and left them, re-
marking that at another bank they
had wished to charge him So for a
safety deposit box to keep them in,
hut now the bank would keep them for
him free, and he would have the banks

a Welsh Poet Miner.

Huw Menai Williams is Wales poet
miner, who bids fair to bring Welsh
literature to the attention of the
Anglo-Sax0n world. Born in Carnar-

miner at Glamorgan since he was six
teen. His work has therefore been Ell
tirely inspired among the sordid sur
roundings of mining town. Intel

important one of all. The majority
of our errors and sins of omission, es

Strengthened. Then he started, for
down the beach toward him came a
figure In white.

thought, and smiled to himself for his
folly; but as the figure drew near he
recognized It.

Foster kicked gloomily at the
ground. Then he uttered cry.
''Tve found something, at any rate"
he said, and STOPPING, picked up the
object which his toe had disturbed
and which glittered in the moonlight.
1t was an old. worn copper ring. F'os-
ter handed 1t to Beatrice, who looked
at 1t curiously
"Why. it's only an old copper ring"
she said. THAT'S all your treasure !"
Foster took sudden resolution.
He stepped across the pit he had dug
and stood beside the girl.

of surprise.
Beatrice found my treasure;
it's you, dear. love you. and I've
been afraid to tell you. Look--the

eyes, In which he read his answer.
