The chemists of the department have disco^eied that tl.ere is a high grade of furfural in the corn cob. Perhaps you don't know, as we didn't know, until very lately that furfural is an oily liqud of a pleasant odor and can be used in the manufacture of coal tar products, for making dye stuffs and photographic material. Fjrfural made from other sources was before the war controlled by Germany and was sold at $23.00 per pound. The chemists of the Department of Agriculture that through the corn cob as a source, the American chemical industry will be able to manufacture it at a price that will make it readily available to the dye trade and other users. Our farmer friends will find a sale for their corn cobs in the not distant future perhaps. They can learn a lesson in economy from the Chicago pork packers, who it is said have been utilizing every portion of the slaughtered hog, the olfal as fertilizer, the hair for bristles and the squeal they run into the phonograph. FAIR WARNING An exchange says that ex-President Wilson is putting down in a book the "tergiversations' of the Republicans in Congress. One definition of the word, according to Webster is evasion. Milton says "by evasions thy crimes uncoverest more." So if the Republican leaders do not wicVt fVlO iW.Prnci/l/int 4 a irof .? IT/AM' large book of their evasions of duty | they had better quit their tergiversa-j tions. A JOB FOR HARDING It is generally known that President Harding was a newspaper man before he became our President, but it is not so generally known that he was a painter before he jvas a newspaper publisher and editor. He painted a Baptist Church in his town of Marion, Ohio, and it is said that once in Washington he saw a man paintng on the White House, where he went to him and said: "Hero, you don't know how to paint" and took the brush away from the man and showed him how he thought paint should be applied. The old Ship of State is considerably weather beaten and by time the treaty bunglcra and the t.t\ manipulators get through with their destructive work, a new coat of paint will be needed to make the old craft presentable among the other nations of the world. Warren, get up your paints and your brushes. You will have a big job before your time is out. ORCHARD AND GARDEN NOTES Fall planting of fruit trees is strongly recommended in the South. Order trees early so as to have them on hand in ample time for planting before the middle of December. The grape is one of our most reli- ; able fruits, it is not fully appreciated in the South. Such varieties as Concord, Niagara and Delaware can be grown to perfection in this state. Plant some for home use and for local market. Ask your county agent for advice in regard to planting, etc. Plant one or two of the muscadine type of grape. The Scuppernong, James Eden and Thomas are excellent varieties. Sow lettuce seed in frames about October 1 for home use. Transplant as soon as the plant has formed the1 fourth or fifth leaf; place in frames, I 10 : 1 A 1 indues apart eacn way, ana protect j the plants with light weight canvas in , freezing weather. The IJig Boston is i one of the best varieties. When pro- { tected in frames the lettuce should j be ready for use throughout Decern-1 ber, January and February. Sow onion seed in a well prepared bed in rows 12 inches apart and j thickly in the row. Transplant the I seedlings in Mraeh as you would onion sets. White Pearl, Prizetaker, and Southport Globe are good varieties for home use and local market. | Onions require very fertile land and I liberal applications of fertilizer. Sow crimson clover in your orchard as a cover crop about October 1. On very poor land, use hairy vetch and , rye instead of clover. Turn the cover crop under in April and sow the land to peas in late May or June. Set strawberry plants in early October 18 inches apart on rows 3 feet wide. Lady Thompson and Klondyke are excellent varieties. Plow, fertilize, and mulch your old strawberry J bed in early October. I < Consult your county agent in re- j gard to buying fruit trees. Do not be misled by traveling tree agents. The county agent can save you money on the first cost of your trees and very much more by aiding you in the selection of varieties suited to 1 rin'l l J "m <j[l' 1 " --"CT^" H SILAS DIDN'T NEED A NEW LIGHTNING ROD These old-time lightning rod salesmen would give a guaranty with each and every rod it would do the work as represented or a new rod would be sent to the buyer. The salesmen always kept their word. They would send a new rod whenever lightning stuck the place, but what the farmer needed most was a new house. A common testimonial of the period ran like this: The Never Fail Lightning Rod company, Inc., Cahoes, N. Y. Gentlemen?Before trying your Never-Fail rod 1 was always in fear that lightning would strike my house and barns. I bought a set of your rods and am now relieved of all further worry. Lightning struck the house and barns Tuesday. By a strange freak of fortune the house and barns were completely destroyed, and I waa somewhat destroyed myself, but your rods were undamaged. I am sending them to you in a separate package. Will you kindly send to me by return mail? Very sincerely, SILAS LEGHORNE ANSWER Dear Silas: We afre all out of houses and barns and are glad to hear you are the same. We are sending you, however, a new set of lightning rods. Wear them front and rear until you get the desired results. THE NEVER-* All. LIGHTNING ROD CO\1L'ANY, INC. FARM FLASHES AND HOME BEANS Plant a tree. Get the grin habit. Bury all your troubles.

He sold his son-in-law one-half a cow, and then refused to divide the milk, maintaining that he sold only the front half. The buyer was also required to provide the feed the cow consumed, and compelled to carry water to her three times a day. Recently the cow hooked the old man, so now he is suing his son-in-law for damages. MISSED HIS GUEST Some years ago an attorney was culled in bya large company and handed a lease. "Give us your opinion," said the president. "We have a great deal of this sort of legal business and it is only fair to say that your opinion may mean much to us and to yourself." The lawyer went through the docu ment with some care, but quickly, and on the spot. "Um?will you tell me what firm drew up this instrument " he asked, at length. "No firm at all," was the reply. "For five years we have drawn cv-, ery lease made by our company right in this office. My subordinate here, Mr. Johns, is the only man we have ever found who thoroughly understand the complications and conditions of such transactions as we enter into." The attorney's face brightened. "This is one of the best-drawn leases I have ever examined," he said heartily. "You are wise to handle such matters inside your own organization. 1 commend your business judgment." "Can you surest any improvements?" "None whatever," declared the lawyer. * "Can you discern any flaws?" "No?emphatically! Mr. Johns," continued the attorney, turning to the president's assistant, "I want to controlulate you, as a lawyer, upon your thorough grasp of this most difficult branch. In my opinion this instrument is unassailable. It will hold in th0 highest court of the State," "That is what we want?your honest opinion," said the president. "We are much obliged to you, and shall be pleased to have a bill for your service. My dear sir,-the highest court in the State declared his lease null and void last week, and we have lost a ten-thousand-dollar suit upon it!" WILL MAKE SYRUP firing your cane to town.

THE VAMPIRE WHO TRAINED A TYRANT. ONE of the most dangerous women In the undent world was Poppuea Sublna, wife of Nero. Under lier tutelage he emerged from youth as a profligate and tyrant. History shows that before their inectlug no other Itoinnn emperor ever had a better chance of making good on his Imperial Job, and none ever failed so miserably. When Nero came Into power at the age of seventeen Home was Just becoming acquainted with the luxury of <5reeee and the Orient. But he had l>een raised like a Spartan by his mother Agrlpplnn, who made him emperor almost single handed. The rigorous discipline of his mother presumably should have inude Nero a brave, simple-living man, like the Romans of old. Instead, he quickly turned to luxurious ways of life. Then he met and loved Acte, an Asiatic woman. Agrlpplna forbade him to carry on the nlTalr. Nero balked. He was emperor and not a mere boy any more. The love affair with Acte estranged Nero nnd Ids wife, Octavla, whom he had married ns a matter of statecraft. Then he fell under the swny of Pop paea Sablna ami quickly abandoned Acte. Poppaea also was married, but us mistress to Nero slie chlded III in for subjection to his mother. Nero lost his hend and set about doing whatever Poppaen bid. She was older than he, but beautiful and seductive? a vampire In very truth. And she meant to make herself empress. Agrlppinn stood In the way, and Poppnca lost no chance to rub salt upon the wounds In Nero's pride. Her promptings led him to bis first and perhaps his greatest crime, the murder of Ills own mother. When tills deed had been done, Uctavla still remained. But not for long. She was banished, then murdered. I'oppnea became empress. Nero, a prey to excesses of every kind, began to verge upon madness. He had many of the most prominent men executed. Including even Seneca, the philosopher and tutor of Ills childhood. Then Rome was burned and the whole of the ancient world whispered that Nero had fired It. The emperor began reconstruction on a grand scale and nctunlly accomplished much In that way. Rut his race was run. Ills last supporters fell away, and one night the praetorian guard deserted its post, leaving tlie pa nice unguarded. Nero crept away in ine darkness, alone. The senate met and forfeited his life, when he committed suicide, at the age of thirty-one. It wns not Poppnca who laid him at rest, but the gentle Acte, who alone claimed his body.

HOW CODY GOT NICKNAME OF "BUFFALO BILL" When the Kansas Pacific railroad was being built through Kansas in 1807-68 it was necessary to provide food for au army of more than 1,500 track-layers. A source of supply was near at hand?vast herds of buffalo? and men were hired to do nothing else hut kill these animals for food. One of the best-known of the hunters was , William Frederick Cody, u youug frontiersman who had been a pony express rider and guide for General Custer. The work wus dangerous, for the Indians did ail they could to Rtop progress on the railroad. They especially hated these hunters who killed more buffalo in one day than they destroyed in a week, and Cody took his life In his hands every time he went out. lie soon became such an expert hunter tiiat the railroad men gave him the nickname of "Buffalo Bill." During Cody's career as a buffalo hunter, a period of 18 months, he killed a total of 4,280 bison. Ills greatest exploit was his victory over Billy Comstock, a scout and rival ! hunter. The match was arranged hy officers of Fort Wallace to decide I which of the two men was the great- I est slayer of bison. They were to j hunt one day of eight hours, and the j man who killed the greatest number j of the animals was to be declared the chnmplon buffalo hunter. A herd was found and separated into two hunches. Cody immediately j began riding at the head of Ids bunch, | shouting tin* lenders and crowding the followers in toward the center of an ever-narrowing circle. In a short time lie had killed 38, all of whom lay d >ad over a small area. Comstock -had i>egun shooting at tlie rear of his herd and. although he killed 23, they were scattered over a distance of three miles. Two more herds were found, ' and when the tirmi count was mude, j Cody had 00 and Comstock 40. Later Cody heennie a famous scout j and guide. lie served with General Custer In Kansas and General Carr in Colorado. Cody was known as "Paliaska?Long Hair" by the Sioux, who had great respect for his prowess. After the Indian wars ended Buffalo Bill organized his Wild West show which added to his fame not only In America, but in Europe as* well. After seventy two years of life crowded with adven*err. he died January 10, 1917. He is hurled on Lookout Mountain, near Iienver Colorado.

She* sold the secrets of each to the other, and made millions in the process. Louis XIV flrgjt loved dainty Louise "** de la Querouatlle. But the historians say thut-she proved unfaithful to her royal admirer. Louis did not let this prevent him from sending her to England In the train of a court lady bound there on a visit of state. And he told I^niise to captivate Charles of England. Then she was to send htm news of England's statecraft and to Influence Charles so that he would make concessions which the French monarch wanted. For all of which Louis engaged to pay her handsomely. Louise found the occupation such an easy one that she decided It would he Just as simple to sell diaries news of Louis uml his policies. Ho she received much gold from both kings, bnt It is said that she never Informed Charles of anything more than trivial . mutters, remaining loyal to her own lonH This double traffic made Louise very rich woman. But her ambition craved greater honors. She persuaded the English king to make her duchess of Portsmouth, and as such she was thoroughly despised by the English people. In- addition to dealing In secrets of state she wielded her Influence at the two courts to obtain many political appointments, for which she was duly paid by the appointees. But Louise was not sufficiently wise to hold all of this money, for she became n devotee of the gaming tables nud lost large amounts with a supern Indifference. At home she Induced Louis to give her a high l?osltlnji In the French court, telling Charles thnt her.visits to Paris were for the purpose of obtaining Information about ihe plnns of Louis. Then" Charles suddenly died. In 1685. llii successor. .Inmes IT, packed Louise oft to France, hag and baggage. Much of her wealth had lu-on dissipated. 8h? found herself without an occupation her English possessions lost, and only a scanty welcome at home. And In the course of a little while she disappeared from court, her purse penniless. Louis paid heed to her misfortunes and granted a amall pension whi^'i c.-rved to sustain the arch spy and vein pi re for the remainder of bet brief days.

His greatest feut was his part In the rescue of the Qermaine sisters, two* Utile white girls who had been captured when their parents were murdered by raiding Cheyennes in their Kansas home. Two of the girls, Adelaide and Julia Cermalne, were recaptured from the ( heyennes when Lieut. Frank Baldv In struck the cump of Chief Gray 1 eard so suddenly that the Indiana bud no chance to kill their prisoners, as they usuully did. The girls Informed General Miles that two of their sisters, Catherine and Sophia Germalne, still were held by another hund of the Cheyennes. Ben Clark Immediately set out to discover where they were. After a long search he found that they were In the camp of Chief Stone Calf. General Miles secured a photograph of Julia and Adelaide and on- the back of It he wrote a message to the other sisters telling Ihem that every effort was being made to rescue them. Ha gave this message to a friendly Indian who visited Stone Calf's ramp, and. unobserved by the Indians, slipped it Into the hand of one 01' the girls. The general next sent a message to Stone Calf, demanding his surrender nnd telling him thut no mercy would he shown his warriors unless: 9 the (iennaine girls were brought to the nearest army post alive and unharmed. In a short time Stone Calt came In to the Cheyenne agency, sur~ rendered his white captives nnd all four sisters were reunited. Beiv Clark's scouting had not been In vain. When the Cheyennes were finally subdued, Clark settled down at Fort Itet4). Okla., with them. He became their Interpreter In all their dealings with the white men, and the Cheyennes came to honor "Ited Neck" as much as they hud feared Mm when he was fighting against them.
