MY LADY FAIR.

NY love IL not . fairy,
With the manner and the grace
OF q spirit light and airy,
Yet the beauty In her face
IL as rare as any flower.
And she seems to be divine.
And Pm thinking more each hOaR,
OF that lady fair Of mine.
NV love may lack the splendOr
OF q queen with wealth untold,
But her loving heart 50 tender
IL more precious than the geld
That the heiress e'eP possesses,
And her silks and lace 50 fine
Can't approach the gingham dresses
OF that lady fair Of mine.
MY love has all the beauty
That q human could desire.
For she always does her duty,
And she sets my heart afiFe
with q feeling Of devotion;
She's the finest OF the fine.
And I'm filled with sweet emotion
For that lady fair Of mine!

Fog D.ss,oys Audis;lisy

Dense fog has peculiar property
Of reducing or destroying audibility
within certain zones. Marine disas.e ers
along coasts are sometimes due to the
fact that sound signals which are plain.
y audible during clear weather cannot
be heard within certain zones Of si.
lence when the sounding object 10 sur.
rounded by dense fog. A recent ex-
ample is that Of the steamer Siberian
Prince which went on the rocks at
Bentnick island during a dense fog
while the fog signal at Race rocks
nearby was In operation. Subsequent
investigation revealed the fact that the
sound Of the signal could be heard at
this point In clear weather. but not
during q dense fog.

New Chicken Malady Is
Disrupting Poultry Trade
Mysterious and Deadly, 1t Is Costing
Breeders Millions of Dollars.

A crisis Of major proportions has
hit the poultry industry, costing
breeders millions, just on the eve OF
the holiday season when their sales
should be the heaviest and at top
prices, says a Chicago dispatch.
A mysterious malady that operates
with the precision and deadly effect
OF a machine gun is attacking fiocks
everywhere Embargoes have been
placed against shipments OF poultry
from various states, but the disease,
which so far has dehed all remedies, is
rapidly travelling from section to sec
ton and threatens to become prevalent
over the entire United States
Experienced poultry men say the
only remedy is the ak. They recon-
mend the slaughter of all birds as
soon as they exhibit symptoms of the
disease. Medicines advocated so far
cost more than the fowl is worth and
appear to do no good. Until some
effective remedy is discovered farm
ers are advised to kill, Immediately,
all affected birds and thoroughly
clean and disinfect the chicken houses.

What Looking Backward
AT the Weather Reveals
Records Show Fashioned Winter
Was Not Always Bitter Cold.

Here's another blow for old why
when | was a boy" One OF Uncle
Sans weather sharps has dug up a
record of one of those good old-fash-
toned winters" This one happened in
1850, certainly antique enough to
deserve the title. But somehow it fail
ed to deliver the goods 1t was one OF
the mildest on record.
December and January were very
warm" relates one who lived through
it, Indeed, so mild that fires were
seldom lighted in our rooms. Febru-
arv was also mild as spring time, with
the exception OF one or two cold
days"
Another observer recorded: "Janu-
arv was so mild that most persons al
lowed their fires to go out and did not
burn wood except for cooking. There
were very few cold days. Most of the
time the air was warm and spring-like.
February was not cold; some OF the
DAYS were colder than any in January,
but the weather was about the same. ,
But Old Man Winter must have had
a blowout while on his way, for he
arrived in April, when snow began
falling and continued into June. That
was the famous year without a sum-
mer" of 1916, when frost occurred III

PAYS TO USE NITRATE
OF SODA ON YOUR COTTON
Experiment Station of North Carolina
Reports Result of Test.

The North Carolina Experiment
Station has reported two tests in
which the effects of nitrate OF soda
and dried blood upon the yield of cot
ton were compared. In one test the
weld from nitrate of soda was 9l9
pounds of seed cotton and from dried
blood 767 pounds OF seed cotton, or
Isl more from nitrate of soda. If this
cotton yielded SO per cent lint, then
the value OF the lint from an acre fer
tilted with nitrate OF soda was $l7.32
more than the lint from an acre fer
tilted with dried blood. In another
test made by the same station the in
crease in the value OF lint was $l698
per acre The profit was greater than
The above figures since the nitrogen
n the nitrate of soda cost less than
ii did in the dried blood. The nitrate
of soda was about 20 per cent more
profitable than the dried blood.

Men Buying Neckties Assume
.Solennity of Those in Solemn Rite

81 want a tie for a man who IS
dark with blue eyes, they will tell
him. and trust his taste to suit the
dark blue-eyed man.
"'Now this isn't too loud? is a
question we often hear, as the poor
dears suffer from the general opinion
that when they select adornment tor
their lords and masters they display
the good taste that characterizcs the
selection of their own frocks and run
wild on the question of shades.
Some Make 1t Incident.
The majority of women who have
taken on the job OF purchasing their
husbands ties, with that OF cooking
his meals and keeping his house, pat
ronize the mems furnishings depart
ment of the large department shops.
Selecting a tie may thus be sand
WICKED between the purchase of a
vacuum cleaner and bungalow apron
and is a mere incident in the days
shopping, not a rite as it is with the
man who wears the tie.
Contrary to the general idea" was
also the opinion OF clerk in one OF
these emporiums, women are very
quiet in their taste in ties. In fact, |
think they have bit better taste than
men, as they are not apt to fall for
some new spectacular style.
ITS funny" he continued, "how
some men who are very quiet in their
style of dress will go wild when they
purchase a necktie. I've had man
who resembled a Sunday school SUI
perintendent, so quiet was he in his
general effect, buy something that
looked like a temperamental Easter
egg"
They Expand in Ties.
What is the reason for a mans
devotion to brilliant scarfs?' was ask
ed.
Il don't know, but | have an idea
that the average man grows very tired
of his sedate plumage, and as the tie
is the one article of apparel that gives
him a little latitude in taste he falls
for it hard Sometimes his love of col
or is demonstrated when he is quite
young in gaudy socks, but he is
laughed out OF that pretty quickly,
So there's nothing left to him but the
thing that he calls a necktie and to
which he certainly attaches great i'm
portance."
How great the importance may be
guessed when it is known that Balti-
more men often pay as much as S.
to 81 for one OF these bits of colored
silk. Naturally, paying such an
amount a man feels that the article is
and there can be nothing
more disheartening than to appear in
a bit of new and expensive raiment
and have no one notice that it is any
different from the 50-cent affair that
had been discarded.
But many married men will tell you,
some wives are like that-they don't
like any notice OF fellows clothes.

Women in Near Riot at

deadly lorgnette.
Finally, after the crowd had been
Gained by several of the women, the
management announced that tables
would be provided for those left out
in the hallway and when the speaking

and chairs placed in the luncheon
room. This satisfied all and the affair
proceeded.
