HOTBEI) TIME IS HERE
If Started Now, Will Yield Earlier
and Better Plant*
Clemson College, Nov.?"Now is
the time when hotbeds and coldframes
should be looked over and put in good
shape for growing early vegetables
and plants for transplanting next
spring," says R. A. McGinty, professor
of horticulture here. "The frame
around the hotbed should be repaired,
broken glass should be replaced in
the sash where necessary and the
sash should be repainted, preferably
white.
Prof. McGinty says the excavation
j for the hotbed should be made now
[and u proper soil mixture prepared
1 to be used in both hotbed and coldi
frame. This soil should consist of
, about one-fourth fine , manure and
j should contain sufficient sand to keep
j it from baking. The mixture is preI
ferably screened before being used.
For the hotbed, he advises a supply
of fresh horse manure in January
when the bed will be started, and
some provision should be made fot
obtaining it.
When the hotbed is made, a layer
j of this manure 12 to 15 inches deep
i is placed in the bottom of the exca
J vat ion and trampled down well, ext
plains the horticulturist. Then
layer of soil 5 or G inches deep is
I placed over the manure. After the
I temperature has subsided to Xf> <iei
grCes F., the seeds may be planted
In the coldframe only the well prepared
soil mixture is necessary. To
matoes, eggplants, and peppers foi
transplanting are grown in the hot
bed, while cabbage, lettuce, and othei
i hardy plants may be started in thi
coldframe.
i "With some preparation at this
i time, the gurdner will be able U
1 start his plants promptly when thr
j time comes and thereby product
earlier and better plants for transplanting,
and an earlier crop of veg1
etables," is his conclusion.

Wind Storm Insurance
THE DAMAGE IS DONE
The windstorm has done its damage and now we
are hearing the old questions about tornado insurance;
asking What it is, what it can do and how much it costs.
The time to find out is NOW?before the next ;
storm. Remember that a policy carried year after
year is an investment in security. When allowed to
lapse and renewed "now and then" it is little different
than gambling. The rates are reasonable; the protection
sure.
Call today?let this agency prove the value of its
service.

Obregon Slayer To
Face Firing Squad
Angel, Mex., 8.?A jury in the
diftricMpourt of San Angel thU afternoon
returned a verdict of guilty in
the case of Joae de iJ^on* Toral,
charged with murder of General
Alvaro Obregon, Mexico's president
elect, and the case of the Nun Conception,
accused as "intellectual
author" pf the crime.
Sentence of death by firing Squad
for Toral, and 20 years imprisonment
for Mother Conception were pro*
nounrcd immediately by the judge of
the court. The defense , attorney,
Sodi, announced he would appeal to
the Mexican Supreme Court.
Toral's only motion as the verdict
Was read was to wet his lips with
hi* tongue. Mother Conception dropped
her eyes and sat motionless. Both
were calm. A crowd of one thousand
cheered and applauded the verdict*
The court allowed the defense Ave
days in which to perfect its appeal.
It was said that if the San Angel
court's verdict is sustained by the
higher tribunal the date and place for
the execution of Toral probably will
be fixed by the governor of the Federal
District,
The verdict of guilty for Toral was
unanimous, but Mother Conception
was convicted by a vote of eight to
one, the jury being composed of nine
men?mostly workmen. Under Mexicun
law a majority verdict is sufficient
to convict.
When the verdict had been announced
everybody in the courtroom
stood and officers in the room saluted
with their swords, the blades
flashing in the late afternoon light,
while policemen stood at attention
and saluted with their hands.
As the judge finished the pronouncement
of his sentence Toral
arose and asked, "May I speak?"
The judge answered: "No you can
speak later."
M < re guards formed around Toral j
and Mother Conception as from the
outside could be heard the cheers of
a thousand or more who had gathered
there awaiting a verdict.
In the neaV confusion in the courtroom
a spokesman for the jury asked
j the judge to give them guards to escort
them home. The judge answered
that this was unnecessary, but the
jury insisted with the words "There
are lots of fanatics around."
"You have performed your duty,
returned a fair verdict," the judge
answered him. "The nation applauds
you and you do not need guards."
Tlie ju rymen reluctantly accepted]
the judge's decision and departed
without guards, although some of
them wore the pistols they carried in
the latter part of the trial.
