Mistakes Will Happen.—An Orfthge- berger stepped into a Blackville drug store last Friday and asked for some thing to cure a headache. A young apothecary politely and promptly held a bottle of hartshorn to his nose and he was nearly overpowered by its pungency.

R., Town declared, the membership numbered 500.000. hut now the total membership I* less than 15.000. Low Con) Yields Due To Lack of Nitrogen A ahortage of nitrogen is. to a large extent, responsible for our low corn yields. This has been shown by a summary of more than a thousand field demonstrations in which an ap plication of quick-acting nitrogen more than doubled the average yield. The most economical and profitable nitrogen application for corn Is a side- dressing of Chilean nitrate of soda when the plants are knee high. The usual application is 100 to 200 pounds per acre, distributed by hand or machine. Poison Gas Is Being Used in Squirrel Drive Livermore, Calif. — Poisonos gas, made from burning straw and sulphur. Is being used by Alameda county agri cultural authorities in a new attack upon ground squirrels. T. S. McGraw, in charge of county rodent extermination, has devised a poison gas machine which he believes it 96 per cent perfect, as compared with the old method of extermination by means of poisoned grain. McGraw’s machine uses 12 sacks of •traw a day as fuel, and operate* at capacity ptr 40 pounds of crude •ulphur. The gas is generated in a steel tank and is carried through several lines of hose, with the aid of a blow er, into the squirrel holes. STOWAWAY ENJOYS ’ SIGHTS OF LONDON Very Simple the Way La Raviere Tells It London.—Strict as immigration offi cials and steamship officers are, it is still possible to cross the Atlantic as a stowaway, eat two square meals daily for seven days while mingling with the passengers and crew, and then enter Great Britain without so much as a question from the authori ties. Raymond La Raviere, twenty-eight, who says he lived ut 2432 Marquette road, Chicago, did it. Travelers who have experienced the thoroughness of the European Investigations of foreign ers at ports and frontiers, plus the usual ticket and passport inspections of stewards and others aboard ship, merely go through formalities in no way essential. La Raviere proved it. He boarded the Olympic in New York 15 hours before the vessel sailed, majde himself comfortable, traveled to Southampton, landed, tramped to lion- don, and was going for a walk with two newly found girl friends in Drury Lane some time later before the police called him to account. Then he was fined $10 or given one month In Worm wood Scrubs prison for the offense of entering England Illegally. Set the Sight*. Afterwards he restored himself to the trust of the officials and spent a month doing-the tower, houses of par liament, Westminster abbey, Kew gar dens, and other points of interest. La Raviere was even given a poliae registration card such as all Ameri cans and other foreigners who stay in England any length of time must have. It all sounds easy as he explains It. ^e walked up tfie Olympic gang plank, stored his luggage in the crew’s quarters, and went for a walk. He came hack at eight, got his bag, and picked out an unoccupied third-class stateroom. Mattresses and other un used bedding were stored in the room, and out of these tie built a screen to shield himself from the door. Then lie made his bed behind and turned in for the night. When lie woke up next morning he was at sea. La Raviere stayed in ids stateroom until evening, when lie grew hungry. So lie changed ins clothes and went on deck. Then lie learned that the night crew was about to be fed, so lie dashed back and got into Ids sea man's clothing in time to follow' the crew in to supper. He helped him self and nobody asked any questions. He made tlds quick change twice a day for seven days. He ate lunch with the day crew and at night he fed with a different watch. Nobody suspected. The rest of the time he lolled in deck chairs and mingled with the passengers. La Raviere meant to debark nt Cher bourg, but found this impossible be cause of the landing card necessary to board the tender. So lie went on to Southampton and was unlucky enough to arrlv|* there in mid-after noon. He saw two gangplanks taken aboard, one for the passengers and the other for the crew, who immedi ately began unloading laundry. Then he did his quick change for the last time. He left his bag behind to avoid customs officers and walked off the ship with the crew. On to London. He was unable to get out of the dock yards at Southampton because the only exit is through a gate in n high steel wire fence and this is guard ed by immigration officers. But he waited until dark and then Jumped the fence, the last hurdle of his crossing taken. Then he walked to London, a fraction less than miles away. He confessed to a policeman guard ing the door of an American organiza tion in Londoiif that he entered as a stowaway without a passport. This policeman. La Raviere claims, refused to arrest him then, but when he saw him on the following day strolling with two pretty English girls he put him under arrest and took him to the im migration office in Bow street He was convicted of entering the country illegally and on the same day they took him to Wormwood Scrubs, a prison bn the outskirts of I/ondon. There he says his treatment was of the best.. ’ After his sentence w’ns finished La Raviere was sent automatically to Brixton prison to await deportation. •He appealed to the home office for release and to polish off his experi ences he was allowed his freedom in the name of Sir Herbert Samuel, home secretary. Throughout his difficulties American consular officials were anx ious to help him, but they could do nothing without proof of his Ameri can citizenship. This he could not supply without a passport, and it was necessary to write to Chicago for his birth certificate. Ginning Price REDUCED!
