Thick reefs of sodium, perhaps the
first ever found in nature, have been
identified by DR.. William F. Foshag,
Smithsonian Institution curator of
mineralogy, from cores brought to
the surface from depths of about
300 feet under an ancient California
lake bed.
Used by housewives and dyspep-
tics for generations, sodium bicar-
Donate has always been manufac-
tured product, made from a base of
ordinary table salt by a complex
chemical process. A few years ago
came the first reported discovery of
any of the natural mineral.
1t was detected by British geolo-
gist by chemical analysis of mate
rial obtained in organisations
scraped from the wall of an ancient
Roman aqueduct near Naples. 1t
was declared a new mineral and
given a name. Further tests have
placed the discovery in some doubt,
however, and the material iden-
titled by Doctor Foshag may be
rated as an original discovery.
1t was found under the dried bed
of Searles Lake, Calf, a treasure
place for rare mineral combinations.
There are about $50 feet of brine
bearing salt beds, deposited from
the waters of an ancient salt lake.

Local Seeds Best

Seeds from trees in the backyard
or along a neighbours fence are like
ly to produce better trees than those
from distant places, says R. W.
Graeberyforester of the North Caro-
lima State college extension service.
The reason for this, Graeber ex-
planned, is that must be thor
oughly adapted to the climate Of the
planting site. Seed of even the same
species gathered at great distances
from thssplanting LOCATION cannot

Sooner or later, the State college
forester said, a variation occurs in
the size of the Seeding trees and
in their survival, usually in favor
of the hon1e-area seedlings. Local

CHAPTER XIV

1t was after the day when she
had met Evans in the Glen that
Jane began to be haunted by ghosts.
There was a ghost who wandered
through Sherwood on moonlights, a
limping, hesitating ghost who said,
you're wine, Jane. must have
my daily sip of you" ~
And there was ghost who came
in a fog and said, .''You are Ian!
tern, Jane-held high" 49,. !.
And that ghost in the glow of the
hearth-fre-"You are food and drink
to me, Jane. Do you know it,"
Ghosts, ghosts, ghosts; holding out
appealing hands to her. And always
she had turned away. But now she
did not turn. Oyer and over again
she lent her ears to those whisper
ing words, "Jane, you are wine. ~.
Jane, you are lantern. -. You
are food and drink, Jane :"
Well, she was having her punish
ment. She had not loved him when
he needed her. And now that she
needed him, she must not love him.
She hardly knew herself. All the
years of her life she had seen things
straight, and she had tried to live
up to that vision. She saw them
straight now. She did not love Fred
erick Towne. She had no right to-
marry him. Yet she must. There
was no way out.

little less RESPONSIVE. Yet these
things caused him no disquiet. Her
crisp GOODNESS had always constitut-
ed one, of her. great charms. .'You
are tired, dearest" he told her. II
wish you would marry me right
away, and let me make you happy"
They were lunching at the Capitol
in the Senate restaurant. Freder-
lex was an imposing figure and Jane
was aware of his Importance. Peo-
pie glanced at him and glanced
again, and then told others who he
was. Some day she would be his
wife, and everybody would be tell
ing everybody else that she was the
wife of the great Frederick Towne.
The attentive waiter at her ell
bow laid toast on her plate, and
served Maryland crab from a.silver
chafng-dish. Frederick knew what
she liked and had ordered without
asking her. But the delicious food
was tasteleSs.

WARS SELDOM
HELP FARMER
Expert Advises Adherence to
Planned Crop Schedule.
BY DR.. ". r. VERT


Regardless of whether or not the
armies of the world decide on STEP
ping up the pace of war, many
American farmers are willing to try
a gamble which appears to be a
losing proposition unless economic
laws are repealed by mass hysteria
of the worlds inhabitants. This
would seem apparent from facts
available to the rural economics de-
partment of Ohio State university.
It may be possible that mathemat-
les are blown: out the window when
wars occur bit it is a matter of
historical record that numerals
have Htftei'fss Old values when wars
end. The. farmers who are betting
their judgment against statistics are
the farmers who are abandoning
their planned crop schedules to plant
an unusual amount of wheat this
fall and coming spring.
These farmers give two reasons
for believing that extra acres of
wheat will be profitable; first, rapid
increases in grain prices occurred
Immediately after this war began;
and second, wheat prices started up
ward in 1916 and continued to rise
until pegged at a bonanza figure.
Such increases as may occur in
grain prices are no more than the
farmer deserves, but it is doubtful if
the. planting of a markedly in
creased acreage of wheat is the
proper method to add dollars to
the 1910 farm income. Several
reasons present themselves for
doubling that unusually large wheat
harvest next year will be profitable
for its producers.
The chief reason is that the gran
aries of the world already are burst
ing with the largest stocks of wheat
that have been known since records
were kept. The world price of
wheat in Liverpool last July was
the lowest on record since Queen
Elizabeth ruled England.
A second reason for doubling the
advisability of increasing wheat
acreages in. the United States is
. that consumption Of wheat does. not
increase in time of war although
prices may rise if supplies fall to
normal or below. Any unwarrant-
ed rise in wheat and fepr prices in
the United States is certain to be
met by resistance from consum-
erS.

over tonight"
That was news indeed! Old Ev-
ans! Jane got into the frock of faded
lilac Bingham and went about the
house singing. Three days Of free
dom!
1t was after lunch that she told
the old woman, "I'm going down in
the Glen-there should be wild hon
eysuckle-Sophy."
There were bees in the Glen and
butterflies, and cool silence. On
the other side of the creek were
pasture, and cattle grazing. But no
human creature was in sight. Jane,
walking along the narrow path, had
a sense of utter peace. Here was
familiar ground. She felt the well
come of inanimate things-the old
willows, the singing stream, the
great gray rocks that stuck their
heads above the edges of the bank.
On the slope of the bank she saw
the rosiness of the flowers she
sought. She climbed up, picked the
fragrant sprays and sat down under
hickory tree to make bouquet.
From where she sat she could view
the broad stream and a rustic bridge
just at turn of the path.
And now, around the turn of the
path, came suddenly man and
two boys. They carried fshing-rods
and stopped at jutting rock to
bait their hooks. One of the boys
went out on the bridge and cast his
line. His voice came to Jane clear
ly.
"Mr. Toilette, there's thing
hate to do, and that's to bait my
hook with a worm. I'd much rather
put on something that wasn't alive.
Why is it that everything eats up
something else?" 2
Jane peered down at the man
poised on the rock. 1t was Evans!
He was winding his reel against a
taut line. GIVE caught a, snag," he
said; "look out, Sandy, there's
something on your hook"
AS they landed the small catch
with much excitement, Jane was
aware of the strong swing of Evans
figure, the brown of his cheeks, the
brightness of his glance as he spoke
to the boys.
He gave the death stroke to the
silver Tapping fish with jab of his
knife-blade, and. the boy on the
bridge complained, ""There you are,
killing things. 1 don't like it, do
you? Everything we eat? The woods
are full of killing. 1t is dreadful
when we think of it."
cit is dreadful" Evans sat down
on the rock and looked across at
the boy on the bridge. 'But there
are more dreadful things than death
injustice, and cruelty, and hate.
And more than all-fear. And you
must think of this, Arthur, that what
we call a violent death is some
times the easiest. An old animal
with teeth gone, trying to exist.
That's dreadfulness. Or an old per-
son racked by pains. Much better
if both could have been dead in the

spoke without hesitation. Sure OF

'You boys needn't think that

He stopped suddenly. There had
been the crack of a twig and he
had turned his eyes towards the
sound. And there, poised above him,
her hat off, the warm wind blow
ing her bobbed black hair, blowing,
too, the folds of the lilac frock back
from her slender figure, stood Jane
He went charging up the bank to-
wards her.
"My DEAR" he said, "my dear"
That was all. But he was there,
holding her hands, devouring her
with his eyes.
Then he dropped her hands. IT

a little awkwardly. 4 called you

1T is perfect. When I found you

He was talking naturally now,
smiling at her as she stood beside
him. She found herself trembling,
almost afraid to speak again lest
her voice betray her. She had been
more shaken than he by the en-
counter. She wondered at his ease.
And so it happened that, woman
like, as they walked alone at last

little pine grove back of the house,

hour or two afterwards fitting him

Jane could hardly credit the change
in him. 1t was, she decided, not so
much resurrection of the body as

nesday, the Justice Department an
nounced last night.
The marine, Wilbur Russell Davis,
a private stationed at the United
States Naval Academy in Annapolis,
was said by Federal Bureau of In
vestigation officials to have admitted
the bomb threat holdup after being
arrested yesterday in Baltimore.
F. B. I. agents were called into
the case, it was explained, because
the institution is a member of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
system, and robbery of such bank
is a Federal offense
In announcing the arrest, the De-
partment of Justice said Davis had
confessed to being the only person
involved in the holdup, which was
accomplished by thrusting a note
through teller's window threaten
ing to blow up the bank
Police Commissioner Thomas C.
Basil OF Annapolis said Davis had
been identified while making his
escape after the crime by some one
who knew him Intimately" accord
ing to the Associated Press.
The Justice Department revealed
$1,92l of the loot had been recov-
cred from Davis, adding that Davis
had said the remainder had been
used by his wife to pay debts and
buy clothes, he having explained he
had inherited it.
w. Emerson Wiley, Is, teller, who
pushed the demanded sum in bills
through his cage window, said the
bandit was unarmed, but had one
hand heavily wrapped, as if conceal
ing the bomb with which he had
threatened to blow up" the bank.
The holdup man placed the money
in convas bag, Mr.. Wiley said, and
escaped on foot across the State
Capitol grounds, eluding several
pursuers.
1t was the first bank robbery in
Annapolis in recent years.
