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."

S. W. 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

Without Impurities...DEATH!
"A Pure Food and Drug Act for
plants would be a death warrant
to all living creatures."
?SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN
Read the above statement again. It seems strange. 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,
