BOOTH HARRINGTON

MANY claim that Booth Harrington
AsA is the greatest living American
writer. He was born in Indianapolis,
July 20, 1869, went to Exeter academy
and finally to Princeton university.
Though he may have intended to
become an author from the very be-
ginning, he decided to go in for bust
ness, at first. and took position with
an oil company. He began in his
twenties to write THE Gentleman
From Indiana" which was published
when he was thirty years old. The
same year his university conferred
an A. M. degree on him.
He took up authorship seriously
from that time on-so great was his
first success. Critics said that he had
established new school of fiction.
The first book was followed by Mon
sieur Beaucaire." also great success.
From then on his reputation has
steadily grown.
More recently, in collaboration, he
wrote a play, "The Man From Home"
which had a record run in New York
and. later, played practically all over
the country. William Hodge made his
reputation as the homely, wise, I'M
spoiled man from Kokomo.
Then he wrote the Penrod stories,
beloved by everyone who has any
sympathy for boyhood- stories of the
merely average boy and his average
adventures, so true to life that grown
men find their own boyhood In them
aad gain a greater sympathy with
beyhood while they chuckle over
them He has also written equally
wonderful sfuf Of the boy and g5ri

Methods of Feeding Are
Highly Important to Sow

1.-THE number of pigs saved per lit
ter is the largest factor in determin-
ing whether or not a brood sow will
be profitable" says f. F. Ferrin of
the animal husbandry division at Uni
versity farm at st. Paul, MINI. Good
narrowing conditions call for clean
quarters, reasonably warm, with direct
sunshine If possible. Either a central
hog barn of moderate cost or small
movable hog cots can be used to best
advantage Straw piles, loose tumble
down sheds or fence corners used for
narrowing places are sure to cause
heavy losses of small pigs"
Methods of feeding brood sows are
highly important just at this time.
Mr.. Ferrin recommends the following
rations for sows weighing about 200
pounds:
l. Oats. two pounds; barley, two
pounds: alfalfa hay unlimited
q Corn, four pounds; tankage. four
tenths of pound.
g. Corn, three pounds; skim milk or
buttermilk five to ten pounds.
4. Corn, two pounds; barley or oats
two pounds; plus tankage, alfalfa hay
or milk.

Growing Soy Beans in
Corn for Feeding Lambs

Growing soy beans In corn for feed
ing lambs has an excellent future, but
many corn belt feeders have not yet
realized the advantages and economy
of such method
When you realize that you can
grow from 300 to 600 pounds an acre
CT high-class forage in your corn fields
with little additional effort, equipment
or expense, aside from the Seed it is
apparent that the practicability of it
should appeal to all
/ plant beans with an attachment
on my corn planter says writer in
the Iowa Homestead It cost So.
They may either be drilled or checked.
To procure the best results, by uti-
liking all the food value of the bean
plant, | always select variety that
will be matured by the time our corn
is in the dough stage. The Manchu
variety has proved the best for US.
Where one plants larger acreage Of
corn with beans, 1t is an excellent
idea to plant a late-maturing variety
also, as this gives the lambs longer
feeding period on the bean forage.
Lambs take to them readily. Occa
sionally some scour by eating too
freely at the start, but it usually
passes away in few days, leaving 10
Ill effects | have found that the
lambs are more subject to scours
where they are turned into the fields
before filing them with other food
than when they are allowed gradual
access to the beans. Lambs fed soy
beans with corn, in the fattening
process, usually have higher degree
of finish have found. which enhances
their value.
The practice of Landing corn and
soy beans means simply this-more
feed and more fertility. One may
readily see that by adding nitrogen to
the soil along with the lamb drop
pings the physical condition of the
land is improved

He told Officer Shoemaker that
night after night between $3.50 and

Spinca said he does not mind a lit
tie cornet music early in the evening
but he thinks two solil hours Of it
seven nights in the week is too
much. The officer went to Tourick's
home but found nobody there.

Golf, now senator from West Vir-

Early in 1922, he said. Daugherty
and Smith moved from the H street
house to an apartment in the Ward
man Park hotel, which was obtain
ed from Senator Golf. At this time,
Miller said, he ceased to be butler
for Daugherty and Smith and took
a job in the filing division of the
department of justice where he
worked for about a year before go
ing back to serve Daugherty as
butler.
"Who gave you the Job in the de-
partment of justice ," Assistant
United States Attorney Kenpeth F.
Simpson asked.

On objection of Max u. Steur,
counsel for Daugherty, this state
ment was stricken from the record.
well. who took you TO the de-
partment of justice when you were
sworn I'M"
No Official Position
The government, in outlining its
case, asserted 1t would show that
Smith was never an actual employe
of the department of justice, but
that he maintained an office in the
bureau and that employees there
took orders from him.
Did you see Smith in the de-
partment Of Justice office" Simpson
asked.
Yes" w. D. Miller replied, II
saw him there often without his hat
on. He had an office there"
In response to questions the wit
ness said that "One was apt to run
into Jesse Smith anywhere In the
department of justice building.
At the H street house Miller said,
Smith wrote letters on Official sta
tionery," but the witness denied that
he had any knowledge of the nature
of these letters. In Smiths office
in the department of justice building
Miller said that he had often seen
official papers" on the desk.
The witness was then turned over
to Max D. Steuer, attorney for Mr..
Daugherty. At first Steuer ques-
toned the witness why he had come
to New York on September when
the trial was not scheduled to begin
until September 7. The former
butler replied that on September 4
he was found" in Washington,
served with paper, and seen to a
train for New York" He said that
from that time until the trial open
ed he had had only one, 'or maybe
two" visits to the office OF the prose-
cutor here.
Mr.. Steuer then questioned the
witness with the purpose of show
ing the King and Miller were only
two of 80 persons who visited the Fl
street house and who were on terms
of friendship with the former attor-
ney general. When asked exactly
how many times Miller and King
visited the house from April 1 un-
til September 80, 1921, he replied
that he could not remember the
exact number but at least half a
dozen times"
The witness said that the attorney
general was extremely popular and
that numerous people including sem
ators, congressman and cabinet
members We're as frequent as friend
ly guests at the H street house as
were Miller and King. He said that
during this period nothing occurred
to fix the visits of either Miller or
King in his mind as being in any
way unusual.
