Mayor had no right to participate.

 I couldn't quite make out what sort of men they were. Usually l can place all my customers al- most as I look at them, for when you're hostess you have a chance to study human nature.

SEVERAL white settlers of V Jamestown were taken pris- oner by the Indians and some were killed when Pocahohtas, pretty young daughter of Chief Powhatan, was enticed aboard a British ship, taken to Jamestown and held as hostage for the return of the colonists. It was she who, legend insists, threw herself upon the prostrate Capt. John Smith, as tho ax was about to fall on his neck. and saved his life. Now, as prisoner among the colonists, she became a Christian and married John Rolfe.
 In I6i6. Roife took his bride to England and presented her to King James I. Dressed in her queer court costume, she became a sensation, and was entertained by the nobility. She gave birth to q son, Thomas, who was educated in England and later returned to Virginia.

SEASON FAVORABLE
FOR COVER CROPS
Seedlings Will Supply Feed
for Farm Live Stock.
BY D. r. Dodd, Extension Agronomist, Ohio
State upiYerSjtY. =WNII Service,

Farmers are advised to take adj
vantage of favorable weather and
crop conditions this season as
means of establishing increased
soil-conserving grass and legume
acreages on their farms.
Not only will such seedlings even
tually provide live stock feed and
forage crops, but they will supply
a valuable land covering for the
winter months and prove of advan-
tage to farmers who intend to par
ticipate in the 1888 Agricultural Con-
servation program.
While summer seedlings of le-
gumes and grasses are not generally
the preferable practice, good stands
can be attained on lands from which
an early crop has been harvested, on
land which has been summer-fal-
lowed, on land which has produced
an emergency forage crop this sea-
son, and on land which failed to pro-
duce a stand of conserving crops
seeded in the spring In hilly sec
lions there is danger of serious ero-
sion and the breaking of long slopes
as unit should be avoided. Such
slopes are best handled in strips and
on the contour.
A fine firm seeded with a good
moisture content to pillow depth and
a good supply of available nutrients
are essential. The seeded is best
completed by use of a cultipacker.
The seed may then be broadcast
and covered very lightly. Usually,
a 2-12-6 or 0-14-6 fertilizer, at the
rate of $50 to $50 pounds per acre,
should be used before seeding.
Winter cover crops are particu-
larly valuable, serving to hold win
ter SHOWS on the cropland, conserv-
ing moisture, reducing teaching, re-
tarding runoff, and reducing ero-
sion. Lime is first essential and
must be used where needed.
