Newspaper Page Text. Nobody's Business Written for The Chronicle by Get MoG??, Cop>"*i?kL OLD AGE MUST BK BECKONING TO MK ..1 visited the place where I whs born and raised again last week. The big, 1-room house that furnished an eating and sleeping place for me and our family consisting of 12, all told, is ?till standing right where it was when we moved 6 miles closer to a school house, long, long ago. ..A large oak tree stands where the ash-hopper stood which furnished lye for soap and big lye hominy. Tho room where I slept iy a "trurrtdu bed' with .'1 brothers?doesn't seem to leak any worse than it did when we tried to keep dry, long, long ago. ..The old well is surrounded by the same large rocks that father put there during the year that I learned to crawl and walk. The place where I "sicked" our dog on Lum Withers when he got bit climbing the fence has not changed at all, except none of hum's blood could bo seen. . .The cracks in the wall that we used to peep thru at strangers as they et up everything while we "waited" are still there. We had very few strangers, however: only a foot-peddler or an aunt or uncle or some person every month or so. The hole in the side of the wall where the stove-pipe poked out seemed a trifle smaller. ..The 9 knot-holes in the floor (where everything we dropped rolled thru) were in the same place, but our old fire dogs and mantel-board were missing. The nails on the unceiled walls,?whore mother used to hang her red poppers and sun-flower heads ??were nearly all intact?'but instead of peppers and sun-flower heads, the new folks had inner tubes and wash rags hanging on them. . .The place where we shot marbles at dinner-time had become a gully. The little back pi-irza where we washed our feet iii a pint, of water every night was gone. The rack where father kept a long switch for our discomfort was in its regular place, but a cheap shot-^un was resting on its hooks. ..I stood for a few minutes in ojjr dining-room-kitchen?and tried estimate the number of heads oi cabbage. and the quantity of collards and turnip-Millet, and the thousands I of corn dodgers and gallons of buttermilk?that we, always hungry chil- j dren, devoured while we were being fetched up, but I could not imagine, figure? large enough to meet my do- j mands. Everybody ought to visit. their old home-stead*5 once in a while j ?just to find out: "How the world do move."

HOG CE, Indian Youth lells Of Fatal Fist Fight Brooklyn, N. Y., June 6. A ?"bb>n* Indian boy with the blood of ChickahWw Indian tribe in his vein* huddled on a bench in the district attorney ? office today?victor in a schoolboy tight which ended in death for his opponent?and waited to see what wouk be <Jone with him. Tears streaming down his brown cheek, he said, "I didn't mean to hurt him, bad. He hit me in the eye first with a pebble. I told him, 'I'll see you after school'." The district attorney decided to have George Munro, 15, the Indian boy, arraigned in juvenile, court to- < morrow on a charge of juvenile delinquency. brought in connection with , the death of Meyer Geller, 13, a slender, pale faced lad. Meyer died with the name of the j boy he fought sealed behind tightly j shut lips. "I a'n't a squealer," he said, when he learned he had been | seriously hurt. At first he knew only that his "head hurt" after he came , home from school. I Questioned further by his mother} he told her: "He was a bigger boy than me, but I won't tell on him." And so Meyer died, and today t^;A detectives sought out his assailant at ( the public school both attended, George didn't know that Meyer had , died, until after he had been summoned from the classroom, then < frightened and wild-eyed he was taken ( to the district attorney's office. "After Meyer hit me with the peb- ^ ble, I told him I'd see him after < school. When Meyer came out I told ] him to put up his hands and he did. , "We had a fight and I bit him on < the head maybe three or four times 1 and we were separated. We went |' home. I didn't want to hurt him bad. j ( But he was as big as me. I didn't ^ know he was weak." i Investigators for the district attorney learned that only recently | Meyer had recovered from an attack;, of spinal meningitis and was in a weakened condition likely to succumb to any blow. !' Meyer didn't get along very well;] with his schoolmates. They called ^ him "fraidy-cat" because he wouldn't fight. But last night fie proved his , bravery?died with never a word as to i the identity of his assailant. jNews at Bethune Bethune, Juno 19th.?Mrs. \V. B.

Yet no truer words have ever been written. If all impurities were eliminated from the soil, no man, no beast, no living thing, could stay alive. Chilean Natural Nitrate, for many years, has stressed the importance of its Nature-given impurities. This magic plant food is the only nitrogen that comes from the ground. It is the only nitrate that contains Nature's blend of rare elements. . . Nature's o&n balance of vital impurities. So you see the importance of protecting yourself by specifying Chilean when you buy nitrate. There are two kinds, Champion Brand (granulated) and Old Style. Both are genuine Chilean. Both are natural. Both have the vital impurities. You are safe with either one, Chilean NATURAL NITRATE I THE OLD ORIGINAL SODA, THE IDEAL ^ SIDE-DRESSER FOR YOUR CROPS ?K larri
