He insisted to a reporter that he
had held no malice toward Mrs.

inadvertently while menacing her
stepdaughter, Miss Emma Thorstein-

illicit love affair.
lie May revealed that he had

he said, but was pardoned after serv-

Out of lie Mays recital came a

The group Of contract players who
have been accustomed to the gllanti-
tative showing Of tricks-that is bid
ding n on two quick tricks and four
or five probable tricks, bidding IN
original two on six probable tricks.
and an original three bid on eight
probable tricks-felt the need of a
bid that would show a hand that
originally held great strength in two
declarations-one OF which might be
no trump and the other a major or
minor suit-or great strength in two
suits.
To properly handle this situation,
the two-club forcing bid was devised.
Like the artificial one-club bid, the
hand may or may not contain a club,
It generally promises, however, the
certainty of a game-going hand re-
CARELESS Of how weak partner may be
and that there Is a choice In the orig
inal bidders hand, of which may
or may not be clubs. II generally
signifys that the hand contains, at 4
very minimum. eight tricks at either
of the two suits or one suit and no
trump. The partner will be forced tc
make a selection between suits or be-
tween no trump and a suit.
For convenience In following the
description of the two : club forcing
bid let us assume that South
throughout the description. is the
original two : club bidder and thai
North Is the partner of the txo-clut
bidder. When South, who is using
the conventional two club bid. has
made an original declaration OF two
clubs. North may not pass regardless
of what he holds unless West puts Ii
a bid. If West were to put in a bid
a pass by North would have the same
meaning as a two-diamond response
II West had passed. Generally speak
ing. when West Is strong enough tx
overcall an original two-club forcing
bid, North's hand cannot contain suf
ficient strength to put In anything
but a denial response.
Assuming that there is no inter
vening bid after the original declar
er's two-club, North. when holdin,

Success in the home garden depends
largely upon the soil and the way It Is
prepared.
II the soil Is shallow and Is only
scratched In blowing or spading, crop
failure is lure to follow. But II the
soil is rich and deep and Is well plow-
ed or spaded the chances are all on
the side Of success.
There is real art in good blowing,
but even more skill is required to
properly turn over q small garden
plot with the spade or spading fork.
System In Spading
Start the spading at one side of the
garden plot and spade clear along that
side, turning the soil to leave q small
furrow. Cut the soil in thin slices
and as each slice is turned over work
it up fine with the edge Of the spade
or spading fork.
Fertilizers should be spread after
spading. Then with a good 10 or ~
inch rake having rather long steel
teeth the fertilizer can be mixed with
the soil in the raking, which smoothes
and pulverizeS the surface.
II the soil is the least inclined to
be lumpy. 1t is easiest to break the
Jumps while they are fresh: that is,
Immediately after spading Or blowing.
In the large garden the harrow should
be used close behind the pillow If you
want to avoid q lumpy soil.
Clay soils may require several har-
rowings with the disk and smoothing
harrow, but sandy soils may need only
one or two. However. II manure Is
used the more finely this material is
distributed through the soil the bet
ter.
Practice In North and South.
In the northern sections Of the
country, garden land is usually plowed
flat or broadcast. That Is, 1t Is either
back-furrowed Or plowed in one land
so that when 1t is finished It will be
uniform.
In many parts Of the South the
land is bedded the same as for cot
ton. Bedding the land decreases the

danger Of the crops being injured dur
ing heavy rains, because the burrows
between the beds serve as drains.
The width OF the beds will depend
upon the crops to be grown. With
crops like peas, beans, corn and to-
matoes, single-row beds are used,
while with lettuce, spinach, carrots,
beets and onions wider beds are used
and two to five Or even six rows
planted on each bed.
Fall and winter set cabbage is US
ually planted on beds that are 30 to
80 inches apart on centers and these
beds consist OF two to four burrows
thrown together.
In bedding land 1t is important to
break all Of the soil In the center of
the bed. For this reason the soil is
frequently rebedded; that is it is bedd-
ed three Or four weeks before time to
plant, then not long before planting
the beds are turned in the opposite
direction so that the center Of the
bed will be where the furrow origin
ally was.
This insures complete breaking, and
II manure or fertilizer is to be used
under the rows it can be scattered In
the burrows and covered in rebedding
the land.
