FARM PROBLEMS I am Berlouely If not dangerously I afflicted with farm lands. X bought. I Boiue of this real estate intentionally, I but acquired most of It thru the proI cess of lending good money on it to I forgetful men; they forgot to pay me. I why, most of them even forgot to I pay the interest and taxes thereon for I 6 to 8 years. And then they moved [ ,,I have about 25 tenants on these farms. It has been too wet for some I of them, too dry for others; too hot . fl. for several families and too cold for a few of the youngest ones. Some I quit working their eottop after it got ankle high; (they explained that the I government said if they worked it very much after the drought, they wouldn't make anything at all except direct relief). I ..Some of them hope to make the | rent, but not many of them are worry; lng about that. They didn't get their "govverment" checks in time to put much Interest in their crops. They were busy, that is?a,few of them . . . j | going to the farm director to see j what In the thunder was wrong with I the re-settlement treasurer. They are not worried about the boll weevil. : They say that the Bible says that they should not kill a boll weevil un der penalty of fire and brimstone. I ....The creek banks and hedge rows j look like the wilderness of the Sinai; | and all of their truck is so small it gives an army worm the back-ache to bend over and bite it. If several of the tenants will pitch their crops j j! together, they might make 1 bale of cotton weighing 375 pounds if they don't have any frost or cold weather |i till the full moon aftefr Christmas. < I ..The politicians have Infested my I tenants for the past few weeks; that j hurt their chances to make a crop | to some extent, but since most of j them were recently defeated at the polls, they are no longer on speaking j terms with anybody who works for a living, t can say one thing for j! these fellows,, nowever: their fishing tackle, rabbit dogs? and late turnip ! patches are as fine as pie. ! ..I'm not worrying about <poor crop prospects and low income.. I've owned these farms and 2 Ingrowing toej nails for 20 years, and have managed, j fo far, to keep the taxes paid and the j nails trimmed, and I can't believe that I i conditions are going to be any Wbrse j than, they have been, and if Roose-j - velt is elected, he'll keep on feeding ( ; J my tenants (and me) so'a we can go j along and remain good democrats. NOBODY'S BUSINESS j ..When a man gets old enough to bo willing to call himself "att; old man," he notices things that he never was concerned about a few years hack. He observes more closely the I age of the persons referred to In each j and every obituary that comes his I way; and, he likewise sadly reads that nearly all of the demised perI sons seem to be exactly his age. The difference between my wife I and me, in respect to time and eterni* I ty, i8 that: I seem to gio* older | every year; she's been the same age I for about 7 years and 16 months.

"When the chicks of the wandering albatross (Dlomedea e. exulans) a^o some four months old," quotes a reviewer in Bird-Banding, "something happens which is so extraordlnai y and spectacular that the early accounts of it found little credence, although we now know that it 1? parelleled in greater or less degrees among all Pr<^ cellariiform birds. With the setting-in of the Antarctic autumn, the adult albatrosses completely abandon their nestling offspring, not for a matter of days or weeks, but forever. Off on their Odyssean wanderings go the old birds, leaving the obese, wellmufTed youngsters sitting on the trampled tops of their nests, where they remain quietly no matter how the wfnd howls or the snow beat 3 upon them . . . For three months or longer the young albatrosses receive no visits from the adults and subsist entirely without food. Toward the end of this time, they begin at last to amble down off their nests and to try their legs and afterwards their wings." ?Bulletin of the Massachusetts Audubon Society. Mrs. B. N.

Generally It was interpreted here, however, as a formal Invocation of the treaty's "escalator clause" under which a signatory Is entitled to disregard Its Beet imitation provisions If It believes its natloual security threatened. Such action automatically entitles other treaty powers to do likewise. Even If the United States and Great Brltaiu take advantage of this situation, however, statistics show Japan will continue to be superior In actual under-age submarine tonnage. Numerically, the United States has more undersea boats than other powers at present but a large proportion of these are over-age and Incapable of competing with modern craft. As of July 1, the full submarine strength of the three nations,'Including both overage and underage craft, was: United States, 75,000 tonsj; Japan 73,000 tons, and tireat Britain, 55,000 tons. Funeral services for the late Secretary of War George H. Dern, were held Tuesday pfternoon in the great Mormon tabernacle at Salt Lake City, the service being attended by President Roosevelt and a distinguished lot of officials. Characterizing Ita verdict as a gross miscarriage of justice, Judge Parker at Fayettevllle, N. C., peremptorily discharged a jury in superior court, after It had acquitted a defendant on a Charge of drunk driving. Denies Marshal Ney Buried In America Danville, Va., Sept. 1.?The Evening Bee eald yesterday that I)r. Andre Jager-Hchmidt, of Paris, research historian,' has offered a refutation to the legend long prevalent lu North Carolina that Marshal Michel Ney, Napoleonto general, died there in 1846 under the name of Peter Stuart Ney. Dr. Jager-Schmldt, the paper said, has made examination of the French archives Since It was learned th%t an exhumation of the body of Peter Ney was planned, and has said he found that all contemporary writers agree that the general was shot as a traitor and that in France there has never been any question of it. Dr. Jager-Schmidt believes, said the paper, that Peter Stuart Ney must have Buffered from hallucinations, even though the school-master proclaimed with his dying breath that he was the French general. Recently the handwriting of General Ney and that of Peter Ney was said by handwriting experts to be the same. Three brothers lost their life In a coal mine near Fulton, Mo., Monday night as each In turn made an effort To rescue a fourth -brother, who had enterod the mine first with his fatherin-law, in order to pump water out of the shaft. The father-in-law was rescued only after he was nearly dead from Inhaling monoxide-gas fumes from a gasoline engine used to run the mine pump. Three persons were killed and six injured when a highway bridge on route No. 10 near Chesterfield court house In Virginia, collapsed. The men were riding toward Richmond when a spanicff . an Iron and wooden bridge collapgfed and two trucks fell Into the creek bed 15 feet below. How To Save The Euonymus Shrub The following receipt from the New* berry Observer in Riven for combatting white scale on euonymus shrubs: At this time of year, the Euouymus Is attacked by a mealy bug, or white scale. Unless something is doue to eradicate sthls scale, the shrub will die. Tho following recipe is most effective: Take one large bar of Odtagou B0AI). Chip finely Into quart of boiling water. Stir till it dissolves into a paste. Remove from the stove and stir into this paste one quart of kerosene. When this is thoroughly mixed with soap, add four quarts of lukewarm water. Use this solution as a spray or wash for the shrub. If the stem of the shrub is caked with scale, use a coarse wash cloth and rub tho scale from all the stems with this solution as a wash. Also slap the solution on the under side of the leaves with wash cloth. 4bJext morn ing shoot strong spray of water on bush with the hose. Do not allow any of^tho- kerosene sap solution to get to the root of your plant. - Repqht this treatment every ten days for thirty days. ,i> 1 * " 1 Governor Dewey of Ohio, has refused to honor a requisition by Oklahoma for Carlton B. Chilton, who escaped from an Oklahoma reformatory 23 years ago to become a respected olticen of Cleveland, Ohio. "I can see no possible good to society to send this man back," commented Gov. Martin L. Davey as he denied the request of Oklahoma for Chilton's extradition to complete a two-year sentence for bank burglary. Chilton, seated directly before the chief executive's massive desk, listened Intently as Governor Davey deliberately dictated his decision to a secretary. It followed two hours of testimony in behalf of the esoaped prisoner. . ; ? I Mil LI 11 J tl hill r I.I.1.'". ?
