FREE SERVICE

He had removed the bullets and
Sewed up the wounds Of innumer-
able punks who would have gone
TO a well-earned death without his
minstrations.
And for this service he had
charged exactly nothing.
In his heydey, the doc had his
$1,000 cars and his S25, 900 blondes
and $80-a-bottle champagne and
as beautiful and expensive set of
surgical instruments as ever a good
surgeon worked with.
The morning the truck nddged
him, he had exactly $1.15 in his
pockets.

The doctor had practiced medi-
cine and SURGERY for the last n
years Of his life without benefit of
the permission of society. He had
been barred from practice for a
matter of an illegal operation per-
formed upon girl of good family.
At his hearing, the doc had
perjurouSly and holly denied that
he had ever performed such an
operation but defended his human
right TO perform such one.
He made no defense. They
kicked him out of the profession
after a Commute hearing.

FUGITIVE FROM EAST

When the doc met the Big Eel
low, he was a punk about % years
old. He had fled from the Five
Points section Of New York tc
escape arrest for a petty theft.
When you saw the Big Fellow
you figured him as an example OF
crude and ruthless power. His
heapy-Shotfffers and his round
head with its big jaws and his slit
of mouth made you think of the
Neanderthal Man.
But when Doc Lugo met him. he
was just a scared and hulking kid.
He was afraid of his own shadow.
The boys used TO push him
around, Just for fun. the boys who
were torpedoes for Big Jim Colo
simo and johnny Torreo.

The Irish potato being cool season
crop grows best at night temperature
varying from As to IS degrees F. If the
temperature of the soil is Ga degrees
or greater at the time the blossom bud
forms, marketable potatoes do not d.
velop, hence Irish potatoes are grown
in the South during the early spring
and fall only.

THE SPRING CROP

The potato thrives best on well
drained moderately fertile, moderately
acid sandy loan, light clay or silt loan
Good potato soil contains plenty OF
humus which may be obtained by cover
crops or by the use of stable manure
If the latter is used it should be APP
Piled when well rotted and at the time
of soil preparation. If fresh manure is
used it should be applied to the crop
preceding potatoes to prevent the in
lection of scab. If scab is present the
acidity of the soil should be increased
by applying ordinary sulphur. Appn'
cations should be made in the furrow
v,rving from 50 to 300 pounds per acre
