WELL, THAT'S ALL RIGHT

Of course, if Harding really wants
the turkey neck on Thanksgiving day
its all right with us. Personally,
however, the portion served by the
Methodist ladies Thursday is good
enough. One never can account for
the idiosyncracies Of even a United
States President. He Just naturally
grew with liking for turkeys
neck. There are however, lot Of
American people who would ike to
literally @chewS on some Of Con-
stantinople's turkeys neeks. And,
on second thought, there might be
found in Greece and England q few
with like desires.

SUCCESS FOLLOWS TRAINING

vested in Per Cent Bonds.
If the farmer is to make a success
of his vocation under present condi-
tions, it is necessary that he have
every advantage that he is able to Sc
cure. He must be thoroughly trained
in the business of farming. There
are two ways of securing this training
one long and costly, the other short
and at a nominal expense. The first
lis to secure this training by expert
ence, the second is to attend an ag-
ricultural college and benefit from
the experience of others. The Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture through
the short courses in Agriculture Of
fers exceptional opportunities to
farmers to secure agricultural train
ing in very short time and at a very
small cost.
An investigation of the incomes of
656 farmers IN one county of Missouri
showed that the educated farmers in
come was TIA per cent larger than
that of the uneducated farmer. The
Kansas State Agriculture College
made survey of the incomes of 635
farmers in seven counties and found
that the trained farmer had a great
er income by nearly $1,000 a year
than those farmers with a common
school education only. The United
States Department of Agriculture re-
ports survey of three representative.
areas in Indiana, Illinois and Iowa.
It is shown that tenant farmers with
a college education receive an aver
age labor income of 1919 a year
more than the men with only a com
mon school education. Cornell Uni
versity reports that a college educa-
ton is worth as much as $4,000 in
vested in 5 per cent bonds. If agri-
cultural conditions remain the same,
the farmers must be trained for his
profession the same as the lawyer,
doctor, engineer and banker.

THE FIRST WOMAN

The first woman ever to hold a
county office in Boone County will be
sworn in, January 1st, along with the
other candidates who were elected
November z. She is Miss Roberta
Winn, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. ].
Winn of near Columbia. However, be-
ing officially designated county
treasurer is not going to make a very
great change in Miss Winn's daily
routine for she has already been in
the office of the treasurer for over
two years as deputy. After January
LIST there will be no deputy in the Of
fee. Miss Winn says she will not
need one, as all the work can be done
by one person and there Is no allow
ance made for deputy anyway. If
the treasurer has a deputy the
deputy's salary must come out OF that
of the treasurer, so Miss Winn will
be her own chief assistant. Although
she is the first woman ever to hold a
county office in Boone County she is
not the first to hold public office.
When General Richard Gentry, then
postmaster of Columbia, was killed
December 25, 1887, while fighting the
Seminole Indians at Okechobec, Fla,
Senator Benton appointed the gener-
ais widow to the Columbia postnas-
tership. Mrs. Gentry was the
first woman postmistress in the Unit
ed States and some even regarded her
legal right to the position as doubt
full. However she took the office in
January, 1888, and served in her hus-
bands place. The first woman to be
elected a public office in the county
was Miss Sarah Hall who was elected
in 1921 to serve q term as city treas
urer Of Columbia. Centralia Courier.

GOV. SMALL VS.. HYDE

to be vying with Arthur Hyde in the
parole business. Friday Small liberia

look in any daily paper, and you'll
find records of this and that convict
turned loose on an unsuspecting COM

quenees of law-breaking "aint so
much. And even after costly law
suits against criminals, Hyde turns
them loose with reckless abandon.

| Seeding Of vetch.
Spring seeding of hairy. or winter
vetch" is to be recommended and this
| seeding should be done as early as pos
sible. The difficulty with fall seeding Is
that vetch natures and dries down liz
| the middle of the summer and does not
| afford the protection desired throughout
the growing season. Where fall seeding
has been practiced it is USUALLY preferable
| to work the vetch into the soil in late
! June and clean cultivate till early fall and
| then let the vetch come again from the
seed. Spring seed vetch can be plowed or
| dlsked into the soil in the fall after har-
| vest. Seeding of not less than 30 pounds
| per acre can be recommended. Often 40
| pounds is used.
How to Handle the Alfalfa.
In handling the alfalfa, the less 1t Is
| worked the better. No cutting of hay, no
blowing, and little diskng are to be gen
orally recommended. The disking that is
done should be practiced in the spring
| only and then not done excessively. Fall
dlsking is not to be advised In cases
where severe water shortages occur grow
ers can practice diskng continually for
the balance of the growing season with
probably the most satisfactory results but
such program should be practiced only
in extreme emergency.
Use of Fertilizers.
The commercial fertilizers that give the
quickest results and are the most econo-
mical to use are sulphate of amonia and
nitrate of soda. Sulphate of amonia can
usually be recommended at about three
pounds per tree and nitrate Of soda four
pounds per tree for good application for
trees eight to twelve years old that need
fertilization quite badly. If applied in the
spring. the application should be made
Just as soon as the frost Is out of the
ground and any danger from surface run
off is over. The fertilizer should be well
distributed beneath the spread of the tree
top and not closer than two or three feet
to the trunk of the tree.
Irrigation.
In order to get the most efficiency out
of the irrigation water it is desirable to |
have short irrigation runs and as few |
bitches as it is possible to use and still |
reasonable length of time. The number
of bitches will vary with the type of soil |
and distance between the rows.
Good substantial bitches should be |
made varying from five to eight inches |
deep. Shallow bitches are not desirable. I
1t is usually more satisfactory to make I
one ditch at time and make good |
bitches. This is particularly true where
alfalfa is grown cover crop.
1t Is desirable to spread the water over
as many tree rows as possible at each
setting" and get over the orchard faster
ra ther than try to run the water in every |
furrOw progress is made across the
orchard
A more detailed discussion of the in
work done at Wenatchee will
be contained in the State Horticultural |
Society Report.

THE END.l
SAINT OF EIGHTH CENTURY
To swthin, Bishop of Winchester, Is
Traced Tradition Concerning
Forty Days Rain.

st. Swithin or Swithun was bishop
of Winchester from $50 to 862. Ac-
cording to the Eleventh century Life"
attributed to Gotzlin, he was tu-
tor to Egbert's son, Ethelwulf, under
whom he was made bishop. He was
a devoted builder of churches. and a
man of unusual piety and humility. He
also built the bridge at the east side
of Winchester. He died in S62 and
was buried in the churchyard of Win
chester, having asked, says William
Malmsbury, to be laid where "passers-
by might tread on his grave, and
where the rain from the caves might
fall on it." It was tabled that he
performed many miraculous cures
after his death, and, although never
regularly canonized, he was translated
with great ceremony on July Is, 971,
and received his title of saint on his
transition. when his remains were de-
posted in the cathedral. 1t is said,
though unfortunately not by contempo-
rary chronicIers, that this translation
was delayed in consequence of violent
rains. Hence, the still current belief
that if it rains on July 10, st. Swith-
ms day, it will continue to rain for
40 days.

CHAPTER xlx-cOntinued.)


Plans were discussed for transfer
ring the pirates from the cave to the
cutter for they were to be taken to
Santa Marina to meet whatever pun
ishment was thought fit for their rath-
er indefinite ill-doing. They had not
murdered us, they had robbed us of
nothing but the provisions they had
eaten; they had, after all, as much
right on the island as ourselves. Yet
there remained their high-handed con-
duct in invading our camp and treat
ing us as prisoners, with the threat
of darker possibilities l fancy that
Santa Marinan justice works mainly
by rule of thumb, and that the courts
do not embarrass themselves much
with precedents. Only Lope they did
not shoot the picturesque Tony against
a walls
The power-schooner, manned by
crew from the cutter, was to be taken
to Santa Marina also. Senior Gonzales
remained with us for the day as our
guest, and on the next the boats from
the cutter took off the pirates from the
cave. We did not see them again.
Through the convenient elasticity of
Santa Marinan procedure, Mr.. Tubbs
was herded along with the rest, al
though he might plausibIy, if hypocrit-
fcally, have pleaded that he had COM
piled with the will Of the invaders I'M
der duress. Aunt Jane wept very
much, and handed me Paeans Of Pas
sion with the request that she might
never see it again.
We parted from Senior Gonzales not
without regrets. 1t was an impress
sive ve-taking--indeed, Senior Con
tales in his least word and gesture
was impressive. Also, he managed
subtly and respectfully to impart to
me the knowledge that he shared
Titian's tastes in the matter of hair.
On his departure he made pretty lit
tie speech, full of compliments and
floral specimens, and bestowed upon
meas being mine by right, he earn
estly protested-the two bags of Span
isb doubloons.
"Since the above was written, Mr. Shaw
has run across Tony on the San Francis
co waterfront Tony tells him that they
got off with three months Imprisonment.
The American consul interested himself
and the schooner was restored to ner
owners, who were Tony's relations and
hence did not prosecute. Before the dis
charged prisoners left the republic Cap
tain MagnuS was stabbed over a card
game by native. Mr. Tubbs married
a wealthy half-caste woman, the owner
of fine plantation, but perfectly genu-
tne Mrs. Tubbs from Peoria turned up lat
er, and the too much married H. H. was
obliged to achieve one of his overnight
fittings.

I've put Tanlac to the test four
times right in my own family and it
hasn't failed me once" declared MIR.
Gingras. my wife, my son and my
daughter, as wei as myself, have all
been built up from a half-sick, run
down, worn-out set of people into a
healthy, happy family brimful of new
life and energy"
And the experience Of this family is
only typical Of thousands of others
whose statements are on file in the
Tanlac offices. Hardly day passes
that does not bring scores of such mes
sages of praise from every part of the
United States and Canada from fami-
lies where mother, father, son and
daughter have all found health, con-
tentment and the joys of living
through simply taking a course Of
Tanlac.
Take, for instance, the case of John
Widner, 1871 Roosevelt Ave-, Los An
geles, Calf, who says: "My wife, my
self and little boy are now as healthy,
happy family as you will ever see
and it's all due to Tanlac."
Or that of Mrs. John Marquis and
her family of sixteen living In Man
chester, N. H., at 292 Belmont st.
She says: "Tanlac has been the only
medicine used In our house for two
years and it has kept every one Of the
sixteen here in the best of health"
In Chicago, Frank R. Richards, of
AL South Wood ST., writes: 1--WE will
never be without Tanlac in our house
after the remarkable way it has built
up my wife, my son and myself to
where we are the very picture of
health"
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1922-04-14

Representative Of New York Is the
case of Chas. e. Van Colts family, re-
siding at 129 Fourth Ave-, Albany. He
says: every member of our family Is
enthusiastic over Tanlac. It's certainly
a medicine for all the family
From far-away Canada comes this
message: my little girl, my son and
myself are all enjoying splendid
health now and Tanlac brought 1t all
about" Mrs. Bert Hewer, 1913 East
Avenue, Toronto, Ontario.
1--WE call Tanlac The Family Medi-
cine here in our Virginia home, be-
cause 1t restored my mother and sister
to perfect health, just the same as 1t
has done me-" is the enthusiastic
statement of Mrs. J. r. Robertson.
Danville, Va.
And on through the list, men, women
and children from every state in the
Union and every province of Canada
unhesitatingly come forward and tell
in words ringing with sincerity of the
wonderful benefits of health and hap
piness that Tanlac has brought into
their homes that were formerly dark
ened by the gloom Of sickness, suffer
ing and despair.
And should yours be one Of those
homes where any member of the fam
lily is thin, run down and weakened
from loss of appetite, caused by indi-
gestion and stomach troubles, you have
at your very door the means that will
no doubt bring the sunshine Of vigor-
Gus health back into their lives and
yours, just as it has done in so many
thousands of other cases. Do not de-
lay. Get bottle of Tanlac from your
druggist today.

"But the boy has everything to offer
youths ancient name, his splendid
unstained youth, a heart that is all
loyalty. He is strong and brave and
beautiful. Virginia, why couldn't you
love him?"
81 could not love him." l replied,
very low, because my love was not
mine any more to give. 1t belongs to
some one else. Is his name an
cient? I don't know. It is his, and
he ennobles it. Cuthbert has youth,
but youth is only promise. In the
man love find fulfillment. And he
is loyal and brave and honest-I am
afraid he isn't beautiful, but I love
him the better for his scars"
After that l sat quite still, and l
knew it depended on the next half
minute whether / went all the days of
my life crowned and glorious with
happiness, or buried my shame and
heartbreak under the waters of the
cove.
And then Dugald Shaw took me in
his arms
BY and by he said huskily:
Beloved, had no right to ask you
to share such life as mine must be-
the life of poor sailor
At this I raised my head from it's
westinghouse and laughed.
"Ask me? Silly, asked you! OF
course you could have refused me, but
l depended on your not having the
courage"
"And indeed that is charge I'll not
allow-that am so little of man as
to let my counting be done for me.
No, no, it was my love compelling you
that made you speak the words you
did-the love of a selfish man who
should have thought only of shielding
you from the hardships Of such wan
dering, homeless life as mine."
"Well, Heaven reward you for your
self1shness," said earnestly. 81 am
thankful you were not so noble as to
let me throw myself at your head in
vain. have been doing it for ever
so long, in fact, but it is such thick
Scotch head that dare say made no
impression"
"sweet imp! You'll pay for that
oh, Virginia, if had only something
to offer you'll"
"You can offer me something that /
want very much, if you will, and at no
cost but your strong right arm"
st is an arm which is at your serv-
ice for life-but what am to do with
