We'll have to be thinking about
what you're going to take en- your
trip abroad" she told the girl
brightly.
Celia agreed indifferently. She
took no interest in the meal and
was not inclined toward converse
ton. Mrs. Parsons asked her plans
for the afternoon and Celia an
swered that she intended to take a
walk.
"If YOU haven't anything else
planned why don't you come with
me?" Evelyn urged, a malicious light
in her eyes. Perhaps we could pick
I'D the right kind Of a topcoat for
YOU. Bendels usually are very good
and you'll need something warm for

Celia declined-much too prompt
" as she would have known II she
had been skilled in the art of de-
ception. Her excuse was f1imsy
one.
She wanted to have another look
at a little shop window on Madison
avenue, provided she could first ma

another exploration trip, she said
ooh, you're not going to the park
today?" Mrs. Parsons inquired
coolly.
mo. 1-well, perhaps later" the
girl foundered She was flushing
painfully, but Evelyn let the sub
ject rest.
By 2:3o Celia was out of the
building. It was one of those SUM-
nv, leisurely September afternoons.
The air was cold enough to be
agreeable, but it lacked the tang
and crispness of later fall.
She chose a circuitous route be-
cause she had several minutes to
waste. Her color was high and she
was aware of a pleasurable excite
ment.
A. shop window gave back her
reflection and Celia discovered that
she had been smiling. Immediately
her face sobered, but she could not
quiet the singing of her heart. Over
and over again it was singing:
Barney Shields. Barney, 1 love
you'll"
She glanced at her wrist watch.
Three o'clock and she had abundant
time to spare.
Celia crossed Fifth avenue and
took up her stand near the Plaza.
There was plenty of action and
color to keep the time from drag
ing. Children with nursemaids.
Two elderly men talking. A wom-
an with a handsome Harlequin dane
on leash. Young men and groups
of girls. Motor cars flashing by,
and a high-topped green bus.
She saw Barney coming toward
her. He was early, too! Celia's
pulse beat more rapidly.
Sorry you had to wait" Shields
greeted her.
"That's all right, Barney. I
didn't mind Bit
The girls smile was glorious. Bar

want to walk?" he asked.
She nodded and they turned into
the park. Shields matched the
rhythm of her footsteps, and for a
few moments they walked silently.
Then Celia glanced happily into the
young mans face.
"Ive been wanting to talk to you
Barney" she said softly.
"Been wanting to talk to you
too"
It was then that John Mitchell
interrupted.

Evelyn shook her head. Celia

The mans answer was a blank
stare.

asked. "I'll try to tell you as
quickly as possible"
She took the chair Mitchell pushed
forward and sank into it grace
fully. Then she leaned forward,
hands clasped together and let her
deep blue eyes rest on his.

half inaudible.

I'm not sure about that. It's
only that I'm afraid it's true. You

I began to realize that, although
Celia and I have been such close

I've had engagements and supposed

dered sulphur. Flowers of sulphur
is especially good for this because
of the fineness of the particles, but
it is more expensive than powdered
sulphur and the powdered sulphur
will be satisfactory if it is very
finely powdered. Seventy-five
pounds of this sulphur to an acre
will be sufficient to cover all of the
plants on an acre. Attention should
be given to giving a thorough ap-
plication. Unless one has me-
chanical buster probably the easiest
way to apply it would be to put
the sulphur into loosely woven
sack made of cheese cloth or an
open sugar, sack and sift it on the
row through this material. Applica-
ton during early morning. hours,
when there is moisture near the
surface or dew upon the plants,
will give better results than at any
other time.

CHECK STRAWBERRIES
FOR SPIDER PEST

Several leaves of strawberry
plants were brought to the county
agents office showing the presence
of the small spider or mite caused
severe damage to several straw
berry fields last season. It would
seem advisable that all growers
check their strawberry fields care
fully at this time, particularly
those who had trouble with the mite
last year, for the presence of the
pest. 1t is probable that the mite
will be found only in occasional
spots in the field and careful ex-
animation will have to be made in
order to locate infestation. A gen
eral rusty appearance Of foliage
should show these areas after a
few days of infestation. The ear
lier treatment can be applied the
better, and treatment opplied at
this time should not injure the
plants in any way.
Treatment consists of busting
the areas affected, and where in
festation seems to be at all general,

YO-YO DISEASE

The Yo-Yo disease is the latest
and most perplexing, intricate of
the many diseases which, at differ
ent seasons and in vary degrees,
afflict high school students.
Mr.. Clark, our eminent scientist,
is working day and night in the eff
fort to discover from whence orig
mated this dreaded disease, its
symptoms, how it is passed, differ
ent stages of its progress, and its
cure, if any.
With the aid of his trusty micro
scope, Mr.. Clarke has uncovered
an astounding clue! The dreaded
Yo-Yo disease originates in the
vicinity of the drug stores. Incred-
ible as it may seem the evidence
is strong. - ....-@ ~
Its symptoms, most important
factor-for it is only by first learn
ing the symptoms that we may
combat the scourge-are generally
of similar nature. The victim is
seen with a small, round object,
which we shall presume to call the
Yo-Yo bug and which is of many
hues. The bug is held out and it
rapidly runs down a length of
appears from no place in particu-
string, which string apparently
lar, and as rapidly mounts again.
The chief difficulty in investigat-
ing these unusual bugs is the fact
that their owners Tor shall we say
victims?) guard them so jealous
ly that to get ones hands upon
them is well-nigh if not absolute
ly impossible.
As to how it is passed, Mr.. Clark
is at a loss-his only discovery in

this line is that it is highly con-
tagious.
However, he has traced down
several high school students, clear
ly suffering from Yo-Yo-itis and
queerly enough, each one is in a
different stage of the disease.
Still in the first stages, we find
John Whitney. His mind and brain
as yet-have not entirely sue
cumbed and Mr.. Clark entertains
optimistic hopes for his recovery.
In the second stage, the Yo-Yo
has in its tolls, Tommy Brown. His
occasional lapses in to comas re-
sembling sanity, are becoming
fewer and fewer and Mr.. Clark
implies that it is necessary to pre-
pare for the worst. This is espec-
tally sad as Thomas would have
graduated this year.
In the final stages, all sense of
duty, study, the peace of the class
room and the teachers mind is
lost. John Vibber, one of the first
victims, is now beyond hope. His
hand and head moves necessarily,
following the lead of the orange
Yo-Yo.
No cure has come to light. Des-
peration is written upon the faces
Of the faculty.
The only hope is that the afflic-
tion will eventually run its course.

JUNIOR GIRLS HAVE
GREAT ADVENTURE

Last Wednesday evening the
Junior girls were initiated, by SOL
emn and mysterious rites, into the
preparatory stage which is their
first step towards eventually be-
coming full-fledged Senoritas. The
present Senoritas were the perpe-
traitors of this plot and for their
initiative. work, chose clubhouse,
the location of which was kept en-
tirely secret. The Junior girls met
at the home of Shirley MullOey,
were blindfolded and taken in cars
to their clubhouse which proved to
be an old, creaking shack far from
civilization, or so il seemed to the
victims. Here the mysterious rites
were enacted. .."e ~
However, it was felt that some
compensation should be offered
for all that the Junior girls had
gone through, so refreshments
were produced.
Some Of the Senior boys turned
detective and, after much search
ing and trailing, discovered the
clubhouse. They were barred, Of
course, from the initiation itself,
but were allowed to participate in
he refreshments.

sters put their arms around each
other and blew their noses resound-
ingly.
At this point, footsteps were
heard approaching, a car damned on
its breaks in front of the house
and the next instant the door flew
open and our hero, hatless, coat
less, vestless and otherwise dis
arrayed, dashed into the room. He
flung Patricia behind him, pointed
his trusty revolver at the weeping
gangsters, but Patricia pulled his
revolver down and said family,
''This is so sudden"
Then she told him all that had
happened and the reformation of
the two crooks. Our hero picked
her up gently in his arms and bore
her out to his waiting car. Patricia
whispered in his ear, "My hero"
and he surrendered completely and
drowned her words i'm a long kiss.

PERENNIAL WEED
CONTROL

Those who treated plots of per-
ennial weeds last year, either with
calcium chlorate or sodium clorate
should watch these plots carefully
this spring. We would be glad to
have growers check these plots and
| let us know just what results have
been. AS far as possible no cult
walton should be done over these
areas until later in the season.
Where results do not seem to
have been satisfactory after we
have had a few reports, we belle We
that another treatment may do
much toward cleaning up the area.
Several patches that we have look
ed over show considerable less wood
growth this spring than was prev
alent last year, but some of the
plants that were apparently not
well covered with the material still
showed considerable life. 1z.
Owing to the very hot, dry
weather which we have had it
seems that the chlorate is tied up
quickly within the leaf under aver
age treatment. From observations
made last year we believe that al
lowing the weed to become dry as
possible, taking into consideration
your plant growth such as orchard
trees or vineyard, and then water.
ing over the weeds toward even
ing followed with spray of the
chlorate will accomplish much bet
ter results. Under this condition
the leaf is killed much more slow
" giving time for the absorption
Of the chlorate into deeper portions
of the plant and killing to much
greater depth.
Treatment should not be made
until late in the season for best re-
suits, except for weeds that nat
lrally die early.

PERILS OF PATRICIA

SYNOPSIS Patricia Peerless,
thrown upon the cruel world, at
tempts suicide, but is rescued by
an unknown and extremely hand
some man. They are attacked by
Nicotine Nick, denizen of the und-
erworld, who carries Patricia off,
despite the struggles of our hero.
Nicotine Nick offers Patricia the
terrible alternatives of marriage
with himself of the death of her
lover. Now, dear reader, go on with
the story.

When Patricia Peerless regained
consciousness the third time, she
was being carried into the apart

"Enuf of this" growled Nicotine
Nick, "our time is short. The Kar-
bolic Kid will be the parson."
At this Patricia understood the
foul motive underlying those words
and let forth a shrek that would
have made a steam whistle turn
green with envy. She threw her
self at the feet of her tormentor,
but as quickly arose, for Nicotine
Nick's feet were in truth one of
his strongest points. He laid vio-
lent hands upon our heroine, who
resolved to make one last effort to
save the good old family name.
