Potato Seed.
Now since ^ these good general
rains have come, those who wish
to raise a quantity of seed sweet
potatoes can make cuttings of the
vines and raise plenty before frost.
Take a vine about two feet long,
coil it around the hand and * set
cut coil and all leaving only one
^ or two buds out. They will make
plenty of seed that will keep bet-
ter and be better than the early
plantings.

WON HEARTS OF YACHTSMEN
Australian Girl Proved Herself Hero-
ine <ln Storm and Is Beloved
Accordingly.
Miss Minnie Taylor, just out of
her teens, is regarded as the heroine
of the yachting world of Melbourne,
Australia, because of the part she
played in an episode on the bay a
recent Sunday. With a young man,
Roy Aubert, who owns the motor
launch Hmemoa, Miss Taylor em-
barked for a run on the bay, the
other occupants of the launch being
two youths. JThe weather was rather
breezy, and when the boat gdt some
distance down the wind rose' and
soon the launch was in difficulties.
The steering gear carried away, the
skylight over ihe engine was washed
away,- and the porthole glass was
stove in by the waves. Aubert had
to take charge of the tiller, and he
placed Miss Taylor in charge of the
engine. She worked hard looking
after the lubrication and general
running of the engine, at the same
time doing all possible in keeping
the water baled out as it came
aboard. When the port glass was
shattered, and water began to pour
into the engine compartment, Miss
Taylor proved very resourceful, and
she plugged up the breach with her
hat, using the much-despised hatpin
to securely fasten her headgear in
the hole. ,

Rockefeller1* Wealth of Insignificance
Compared to Imagination of
Opium 8mokere.
San Francisco officials recently
burned $25,000 worth of opium.
This is not a large sum of money to
go up in smoke under ordinary cir-
cumstances, but when the quality of
this smoke is considered it must be
recognized that the dreamers who
used it for putting their lives to
sleep would have^11 been millionaires
so long as the drug lasted. A young
man once decided to give up opium
smoking and go back to his old
mother, whose heart had long since
been broken by his wretched jife.
Acting on his good impulse' he
wrote her fbr money to come home,
saying in a few words that he would
try to build his life over again. On
his way tc\his unkempt hall room
from the postoffice he met an evil
associate who persuaded him to have
oue last smoke. As soon as he had
drawn a few deep inhalations of the
poison he borrowed 25 cents and,
rushing to the telegraph station,
sent his mother this message: “Pay
no attention to letter; am sending a
million dollars by the next mail.”
SUFFICIENTLY PUNI8HED.
A painful and dramatic scene oc-
curred in the criminal court at Bu-
dapest, Hungary, not long since, at
the trial of a cashier named Emil
Brack, who was arrested some weeks
ago at the instance of his employers,
for having misappropriated about
$750. 1 While he was awaiting trial
his three young children all died of
measles within twenty-four hours,
and at the opening of the case the
prosecutor informed the judge that,
out of consideration for this, the
firm yhad decided to withdraw the
charge, and asked for the acquittal
of the prisoner. Brack, who had not
been informed of what had happened
at homq while he was in prison, was
so overcome that he swooned away
in the dock. As soon as he regained
consciousness the court ordered his
immediate release.
.....
IN DOUBT.
Louie Mouillard May In Very Truth.
Be Given the Title of Father
of Aviation.
The French—themselves masters
of the air—call Louis Mouillard the
Father of Aviation,” although he
never flew. Mouillard was a theorist.
It is admitted today that his theo-
ries were sound, although he never
put them into achieving form.
Mouillard wrote two books, “The
Empire of the Air” and “Flight
With Fixed Wings.” Only the first
of these works appeared during his
lifetime, and that had a small cir-
culation. But he pointed the way
to fly, and ten years after his death
the Wright brothers, following prin-
ciples he set down, proved that he
had solved the problem.
Mouillard explained that to seek
to fly by imitating the beating of
a bird’s Wings was error; that in-
stead of trying this impossible feat
man should imitate those birds
which soar with steady wings and
avail themselves of air currents. If
Mouillard-had possessed money there
is little doubt that he would have
demonstrated his theory, as it has
been successfully proved. The life
of this remarkable man seems, on su-
perficial view, to have been a failure.
But his compatriots, recognizing his
real worth, have set up a monument
to his memory at Heliopolis, Egypt,
that was unveiled in February last.
He died in 1897. The story of his
life is pathetic.—Leslie’s.
WHERE IT CAUGHT HIM
So Simple Anyone Can
Run It
No need of a mechanic to take care of the
Studebaker“20.” No need of a chauffeur. You
or your wife can run it as easily as an expert.
Simplicity of operation and control, added
to the light running and easy riding qualities of
Studebaker cars are the delight of their 75,000
owners.
The Studebaker (Flanders) “20” is equal in
quality of material and workmanship to any car
made, and its low price and low upkeep cost
puts it within your reach.
We know the quality of our 'cars because
every part is made in our own plants and
guarantees to us what we guarantee to you.
The Studebaker name, too, means service after
you buy.

REASONABLE EXTRAVAGANCE.
Money may not bring happiness,
but it’s good enough to notice when
it passes by. It is also worthy of
peeping when once yon get your
hands upon it. While extravagance
is absolutely wicked, to be miserly
Is worse, for then your money does
actual harm. Put away a little “roll”
as a safety umbrella for a rainy day.
After that is accomplished you can
ease up a bit and occasionally buy a*
chocolate cream or two. There is
many a woman with hundreds in
the bank who would blossom out
with youthful charms if she were
to intfest a trifling sum in a new
hat and some pretty shoes. Women
' ove fluffy trappings, and if possible
;hey should have them. Some of the
uxuries are more necessary than
>read and tea. Make the girl in
he looking glass as sweet as you
can. She’s a good friend to you, and
you want to treat her well.
CROCODILE LONG AT LARGE.
Loungers in the museum garden
at Osaka, Japan, were astonished one
afternoon of late to see a long snout
protrude from a drain pipe by the
side \ of the pathway. The snout
commenced to snap at the legs of
the passersby. The director of the
museum was summoned, and with
the aid of the gardeners and assist-
ants the snout was secured and
dragged from the drain, when it was>
found to belong to a large crocodile.
Presumably by its birthmark's, it was
recognized by the director aa being
a reptile which had escaped from its
cage in the museum in September,,
1910. It it supposed that since that
date it has been exploring the drain-
