Lewia Liken Roooevelt Kansas City, March 22.?Sinclair Lewis, the novelist, whoso dislikes usually receive the emphasis, has found a man he likes immensely. Of IVeeidcnt Roosevelt, he said on a visit here today: "It's been our history that we have elected strong men who turned weak. Now we have found the weak man we elected last November has turned strong " Nobody's Business Written (or The Chronicle by Gee McGee, Copyright, 192#. Hut The Old Place !Ua Ranged Ho You Wouldn't Know It. ..It's a sign a fellow i? getting old' if ho commence* to think about the place where he wua born and Che little window where the aun camej peeping in at morn ami the door] where pa came joatling in at mom also.. about 3 hour* ahead of the said aun. . . We lived t*> far in the country when I was h kid, the honey bee? nested with the yellow jacket* and the chicken* slept with the acrecch owls without fear or hindrance. We even got the day* of the week mixed several time* and pulled fodder and plowed on 'Sundays 9n.ce or twice. . .Nobody ever came to aee us nor did we go to see them. There was a public road about 3 mile* from our home, but the one that branched off towards our house was 50 por cent gully, 25 per cent pig path ami the balance of it was a streak where there wasn't any trees. We worked early and late, all of us... pa and ma and the girls and us boys and the mules and the oxen and everybody else. We worked because we had to ;nake something to eat so's we would he able to work and make ijfmyjthing-for the stock to cat too. I't ua" motion. . . We grew everything we had on 1 the tabie except rice, and wo never had any ri. e. We made our own soap I hut used it for washing clothes only. I Dirty boy* and fairly clean g.rls I Were in style down or, the old farm. 1 Our farm was so hilly the hilly goathad to walk backwards when they went art} where. ' . . Pa owned a g;n and a saw mill and ja thieshc r, and that's why we stayed I so poor all the time. W e ginned on credit and never collected anything; wo sawed on shares, and as we never built an) thing, our part of the lum-j her always rotted; we threshed fori the tenth, but rarely ever went a-j IX) unci and gathered our toll. The| roads were too rough for that. . .The*, finest thing I ever saw was pa's first new saddle. Igiter on, we owned a buggy. And was that a pretty buggy? You are asking me? Why, it was so nice that 9 of us younguns slept in it the first throe nights we had "ft. It had a place for a whip, but pa kept that over his bed to use on us as well as the mules. We got along all right, lived thru panic after panic, grew up, got married, and very few of us have wandered far away or got rich enough to send our folks to college, but nearly every one of us can reed and write checks. . . .and some of them stick. .

Advice On Growing Of Sweet Potatoes | The Carolina* Sweet Potato aaoojdation has issued the'following advloc^ j to farmer? who would plant sweet potatoes for marketing purpose?: After twelve years of experience in marketing commercial crops of sweet potatoes from the Carolina territory, we wish to impress the following observation* rod recommendation*. During the entire twelve years we have never had sufficient supply of good quality sweets to meet our demand throughout the eeason. The time hoe certainly come when only the beet can be sold to any advantage. No longer is the U. 8. No. 1 grade satisfactory to the trade but they now require U. S. No. 1, clean and bright" and "well packed." Unless the grower is able to grow and ship bright, clean, well packed stock ho is wasting his time and hurting the reputation of the section by undertaking to ship anything less. Sire must bo medium'?not tin) largo nor too small. Every car of sweet potatoes of unsatisfactory grade going to the markets kills the demand for from three to six cars of good We aK' the Porto Kican variety is gaining popularly and We are adhering to the, llosh-colored strain?the white or red skin strains | I ace not acceptable to the trade. The following we consider very | important: Use only bright soils that: J will not stain or discolor the surface.! : Soils not too rich or he^vv will grow I i medium sized ,bright stock. 1"eitil-t | ize moderately but sufficient for re-1 'suits, using ;i heavier proportion of; ; p.>ta.-h than has been customary.} Growers will find rough, cracked,! split sweets unprofitable ar.d only fit .for feeding purposes on the farm. I He careful in selection of seed .stock and Ik- sure to treat seed before plant- j , ing. We are convinced last year's crop; [was the poorest quality crop we have j ! ever marketed. We have -had many j discouragements and setbacks there- ; i from, but have made progress in the, i markets nevertheless. Growers mustj i give more thought and attention to growing quality and getting out uniform pack, quality and packages. Sweets have been low this year but even then probably in line with other commodities, and our opinion is that there is less over-production of good quality sweets than perhaps any other product grown locally.'There are many cars of sweets in the territory we will be unable to handle or market due to their very poor and uneven quality and discoloration. We have no reason to be afraid of over-production or volume of sweets from our territory provided the growers would cooperate and produce the right quality and get the stuff out in line with market demands and we are here to assist in every possible way. Several Killed In Automobile Crash Fort Ijauderdale, Fla., Mar. 26. Christian Channing Gross, soldier, author and colorful figure of the American diplomatic service, was killed here today in an automobile accident which also claimed the lives , of his two small children and his mother, Mrs. Natali Gross, of Chicago. His father, Charles W. Gross, was injured seriously and was brought to a hospital here. Doctors said he had a broken arm. was severely cut and bruised and possibly had received internal injuries. Christian Gross, who was 37 years old. was identified by papers in his pocket and his father confirmed the identification. The children were Peter, about 11, and Barbara, 10. A car in which they were en route from Palm Beach to Miami skidded I off the federal highway north of Fort Iauderdale and overturned, crushing | the occupants. i i Former Senator Bryson Acquitted i Greenville,- March 2>.?H.

BANK HOLIDAY BREVITIES , - .!>" - A- * i It wm no holiday for baby'a bank. Pennies, nickel* ami dime*, m abnormal numbers, appeared a* pay for food, tr??nr?portatiotk and general heeds. ^ A certain Wyoming town unaware of the holiday. It wa* cut off from the reet of the country by a blizzard. Juet nature's way of "freezing" aaeeta. Increase in number of application* to carry concealed weapons to protect places of buameee with unbankable cash on hand. Windsor, Conn., town clerk, an ardent collector of wampum and other Indian relica, accepting such as fees for recording deeds. A Washingtonian unable to buy shaving needs with a $100 bill because the drug store had no change. "Grow a beard," was the druggist's advice when the customer asked "What can I do?" (lold at the rate of $50,000 an hour pouring into New York banks from hoarding, while the total amount of such hoarded gold turner! in^to the Federal Reserve Banks was estimated at more than $200,000,000. An Iowa realtor sitting up all night to watch a shoe box containing $3,000 in gold coins which a client paid for a house. Shortly before the banks closed by executive order a county treasurer in Michigan demanded $5,000 in gold to meet the county pay roll. Then the holiday came before time to pay off, leaving him with the bag of gold. Washingtonians, ordinarily generous toward the man in the street, held on to the change they had, and panhan iler--' receipts were slim. Department stores in cities urging customers to "charge it" as never before. One New Yorker took in $700,000 in hoarded gold?the biggest hoard so far reported?to bank. A Philadelphia man returned $46,000 in an old satchel. Third "honors" went t<> a New Yorker with $35,000. Cracky boardwalks, porches, etc., came in for attention. A man in Massachusetts ripped up his porch after having recalled losing coins there. He recovered GO cents. Hotel bell-hops felt the pinch. Stamps, books, knives, etxn, were 1 isted among "holiday tips. With a "frozen" pay check in his pocket, n stranded salesman for a Chicago packing house parked on a roadside in Tennessee and dined on his samples. And a New York hotel cash register had too much silver. A Westerner plunked down 18 silver dollars to pay his bill. The cartwheels taxed the ensh till to capacity. A New York couple acquired greater respect for banks. They drew out their life savings just before the holiday was declared. A purse-snatch er got it all. Fortunately the police recovered it?and of course it was immediately redeposited. _ Honeymooners and tourists "caught short" were numerous. 'At Daytona Beach, Fla., a penniless man with a John D. Rockefeller check in his pocket had a time getting credit on it. Big security was offered by a Coney Island carnival manager. He tried to borrow $25 on an elephant. "The Whole Town's Broke" was just the name of a play to be presented by a Pennsylvania town's high school. Then the whole town was broke so the play was postponed until after the bank holiday. Twelve dozen ?eflrg* ?n<* P*1* of * hog were included in the luggage of an lowan a* he returned from his farm 4# <he ?* *? letf#lature, not to*#* eevight ahoei,' Even prison inmaiee, especially those at Sing iSing, felt the effect# of the holiday because their friwub* and relatives couldn't eeml m their regular contribution#. The K<Kson Company was unable to meet it# pay wlls bec#u#e of # ia?* of cash. So it Wted a jdgu expr###ing joy that nd, hoarding on it# pai t had contributed to the crisis. Some 127,000 brought out of hiding by an Ohio man was "*our dough.* He had hoarded it in a pickle jar over a period of 10 years.?The Pathfinder. Crotalaria Every farmer in Kershaw county should plant at least eome crotalaria this year. This is no kmger a dream or a thing to be tested or experimented with. It ?a now a proven, established and accepted way of building up the fertility of the soil tremendously ni one season, adding large quantities of humus and ammonia resulting in greatly increased yield# of corn and cotton and other crops after crotalaria is laid under. It will reduce your fertilizer needs to a minimum. Crotalaria often yields as much as 40,000 pounds of green material per acre. It will easily put into an acre of soil nitrogen or ammonia equivalent to 885 pounds of nitrate of soda as compared to 277 pounds by cow peas and 232 pounds by velvet beans. Rather than buy fertilizer in the old way farmers should use crotalaria for a large part of their fertilizer and it is strongly recommended that farmers buy some of these seed this year rather than spend all of their money for commercial fertilizer.^ Crotalaria may be planted without the protection of fencing since no livestock will eat it. It should be planted after all danger of frost is past and the soil is warm, and at a time when there is a lot of moisture in the soil. For over three years I have urged our farmers to plant soil-building legumes. Last year our farmers of Kershaw county planted more Austrian peas than tihe rest of the state combined and these Ausrtian peas are giving splendid and valuable results and satisfaction. I now ask our farmers to cooperate in the same splendid way and begin the use of crotalaria because I know it will be of great value to you farmers. For further information on crotalaria, please get in touch with County Agent Green. Dead Dog Causes Furore Memphis, March 22.?'An excited voice on the telephone warned sheriff's officers that a man and woman "had dug a grave and buried something." Rushing to the scene the officers went to work with pick and 'shovel, struck a pine box. The box, two feet long, first revealed a clean, 'white blanket inside. "It must be a baby's body,"- a deputy said. When the bundle was unwrapped, officers found the body of a poodle dog. Plant Resumes Operations Kittanning, Pa., March 22. ?
