DON’T FORGET THIS
The Model
Submarine
Bb GEORGE MUNSON
(Copyright. 1916. by W. G. Chapman.)
The quiet innn is often deceptive.
Jim Hawtrey did not know that when
he made love to Elliman’s wife. Elli
nmn was an inventor, and he had rent
ed a cottage on a very lonely northern
lake to conduct experiments with his
model submarine.
He had known Hawtrey long before,
and invited him to pay them a visit,
to cheer up his wife. Nancy Elliman
was lonely. She had married her hus
band four years before, and when
there are no children four years is
the dangerous age of marriage.
Hawtrey was one of those fellows
who do not understand quiet men.
He was the life and soul of his club,
and he started a flirtation to while
away the time. But what was play
to him was tragedy to poor Nancy.
Her quiet, sober husband, always
pottering about his boat, was a foil
for the brilliant blackguard who
planned to betray his home. Hawtrey
soon enlisted Mrs. Elliman’s sympa
thies against her husband, yet so
subtly that at first she herself was un
aware of the part she played.
When Hawtrey brought down a deer
Elliman was sent to skin it, and Haw
trey took Mrs. Elliman for a row, re
turning to find Elliman in a disgusting
state, and his fingers bleeding from
a bad cut of the knife. It was Haw
trey, again, who put a dead porcupine
in Elliman’s bed. And it was Haw
trey who feigned illness and sent him
on a ten-mile tramp through the woods
to a nonexistent doctor, while he made
love to Mrs. Elliman during his ab
sence.
That was what awakened Elliman
to the part he was playing. But then
r """" '
"You Know You’ve Married a Clown,
Nancy."
Hawtrey was in every way Elliman’s
superior. He could swim and shoot
better, and outpace him; and once
he challenged Elliman to a boxing
match and bruised his lip and black
ened one eye.
Elliman was thinking. He found it
difficult to detach his mind from his
invention. But now and again the
thought of Hawtrey would recur to
him in an irritating way. The cli
max arrived that afternoon when he
came quietly through the woods and
overheard Hawtrey’s declaration.
"Why do you stay with that slow
coach, dear?” he was asking. “What’s
simpler than to throw him over and
come away with me? He doesn’t care
for you. All that interests him is that
boat of his.”
He put his arm about her, but she re
pulsed him quietly.
"You know you’ve married a clown,
Nancy,” went on Hawtrey remorse
lessly.
“Yes,” she said gravely. “But still,
he’s my husband.”
That was all Elliman heard, for he
came slowly up the path and they saw
him. But Hawtrey called mockingly
in welcome, and neither suspected that
Elliman had heard.
“I’ve got a surprise for you both,”
said Elliman the next morning.
“What, a surprise?” inquired Haw
trey. “Really, Elliman, your inventive
ness is astounding.”
“You are the life and soul of the
place,” said Nancy, mockingly.
“I want you two,” Elliman went on,
“to come aboard my boat. She’s fin
ished, and I’ll take you on a submarine
cruise round the lake.”
“Not if I know it,” answered Haw
trey. “None of your submarines for
me.”
“Of course, if you are afraid,” said
Elliman.
“What the devil are you talking
about?” demanded Hawtrey angrily,
with a glance at Nancy.
“Well, if you think it’s too risky you
needn’t come.”
“I’m not afraid of an; .uing you can
plan,” sneered Hawtrey. “Shall we go,
Mrs. Elliman?”
"I’ll go if you want me to,” answered
THE DOUGLAS ENTERPRISE, DOUGLAS, GEORGIA.
Nancy, not to her husband, but to
Hawtrey.
■‘l guess we may as well see the poor
old duffer’s invention,” said Hawtrey,
with a short laugh.
Elliman led the way along the plank
aboard his craft. She was a big
model —just large enough to contain
the three of them. They were tightly
wedged, however, and had hardly
room to turn round. Elliman leaped
aboard and pushed off. He started the
electric engine. Then he reached tip,
pulled down the hatch, and bolted it.
They could see nothing through the
i frosted pane, and the light was very
! dim. The clattering of the engine
I seemed to fill the whole boat.
“Huh ! Nice sort of trip!” sneered
Hawtrey. “Won’t we see more than
this on the observation trip?”
The peculiar look on Elliman’s face
startled him. The air was very stuffy,
anyhow.
“Put back,” Hawtrey said angrily.
“What sort of practical joke is this?”
“Nancy,” said Elliman, “do you love
this man? Do you wish for a divorce,
or am I your husband?”
“What 1” yelled Hawtrey, leaping up.
“So you’ve been eavesdropping, have
you, you cur? Take that hatch off in
stantly or I’ll thrash you!”
“If you wish to drown here, you
may raise the hatch,” responded Elli
man.
Hawtrey sank back with a curse.
Elliman was undoubtedly the master
of this situation.
“Hawtrey, I’m not as brilliant as
you,” said Elliman. “If I were a red
blooded man like you I’d challenge you
to a duel—not because I want to de
tain Mrs. Elliman against her will, but
because it’s my duty to protect her
against blnckguards like you. As it is,
I’m going to offer you another sort of
duel.” He picked up three objects
from beside him.
“Two of these are oxygen masks,”
he said, “with a reservoir of oxygen in
side. The third has no reservoir. The
air in here will be exhausted within
half an hour. Mrs. Elliman will wear
one of these masks. You shall take
your pick of the two others. They look
exactly alike, only one is not charged.
The one who picks the oxygen will win
Mrs. Elliman.”
“What nonsense!” yelled Hawtrey,
breathing heavily. “Let us out at once,
confound you!”
He raised his fist threateningly, but
Elliman only looked at him quietly and
held out the two masks.. Nancy said
not a word. Her eyes were on her hus
band’s face.
“Which do you choose?” asked Elli
man.
Hawtrey began to bluster. “Let me
out!” he shouted. “I didn’t come here
to fool with a lunatic. Old man,” he
added, “I’m sorry for what I did. I’m
sorry I’ve fooled you. It was only a
joke between Mrs. Elliman and me.
For God’s sake let me out,” he pleaded,
clasping Elliman about the knees in
his abjection. “I’ll go straight away,
I swear it. I—”
Elliman unbolted the hatch. A flood
of daylight streamed in. As Hawtrey
leaped for the entrance he saw the
plank still in position and the shore
within ten feet. The vessel had never
moved.
That was what Nancy saw as she
turned to gaze at her husband wonder
ingly.
“Ha, ha!” laughed Hawtrey. “I
guess you fooled us, slowcoach, didn’t
you? Mrs. Elliman—”
But in the pointing of Nancy’s fin
ger there was something so imperious
that Hawtrey hurried away. A minute
or two later they saw him slink
through the bushes, and out of their
lives. And Nancy turned to her hus
band.
“Forgive me —forgive me!” she mur
mured.
ARE FACING THE INEVITABLE
Churches Can't Fight Autos, But They
Can Make Them of
Service.
To fight fire with fire is an admir
able method where fire is concerned
and other extinguishers fail. Why
shouldn’t the application of the sys
tem be serviceable in other fields?
Like cures like, and there are poisons
that neutralize one another, the Cleve
land Plain Dealer observes.
Now for the special applications.
The churches, many of them, realize
that the automobile is not an encour
ager of church going. The allure
ments of a ride through the town, or
about the countryside, are hard to re
sist. The automobile is responsible
for many empty seats. What can bo
done about it?
In certain churches all they do is
to lament the affliction. They can’t
legislate against it; they can’t bar it
from the streets. It has come to stay,
no doubt, but they said the same
thing of the bicycle. Anyway, the
automobile is here, and it is very com
fortable, and very exhilarating, and
very alluring. How can these charms
be met?
A Philadelphia congregation thinks
it can answer the question in a prac
tical way. Instead of standing back
and abusing the cars, it comes to the
front each Sunday and marshals its
automobiles and sends them out right
and left with orders to gather up the
parishioners and give them a free ride
to church. It’s a delicate attention*
and not to be lightly turned down.
The congregation realizes it cnn’t fight
the automobile, and so it fraternizes
with them.
The plan is said to work well. The
plan of giving motion picture shows
under church auspices is said to work
well, too. And the lesson would seem
to be that it is well to meet the in
evitable and make the best of it.
PROPER METHODS FOR KEEPING MANURE
PILING MANURE WHERE THE RAIN WILL WASH OUT ITS FERTILIZ
ING ELEMENTS.
Stable manure should never be
thrown out on a' field where it will
not soon be mixed with the soil; nor
should it be piled out in the open, for
much of the fertility will be lost by
leaching. If the manure cannot be
placed on a field that is to be planted
shortly, It is best to allow it to accu
mulate in the stull, being careful to
keep the stall dry and well littered.
Corn stover, wheat, oat or rye straw,
leaves, or pine straw can be used for
litter.
It is a good plan to use ns much
SILAGE OF DIFFERENT TYPES
Material Used in Construction of Silo
Has No Influence on Quality of
Its Contents.
(By C. 11. ECKLES, Missouri Agricul
tural Experiment Station.)
One of the questions tlmt comes up
when a new silo is to be purchased or
built Is whether the material used in
the construction of the silo has any
Influence on the quality of the silage.
The Missouri experiment station has
been studying this problem for two
years. Samples of silage were taken
at the wall and at the center in silos
of the stave, Iron, tile, Gurler, and
concrete types. These samples were
analyzed and the results compared.
The results are given in detail in Re
search Bulletin 22, recently issued. The
results of the analysis showed no dif
ference In any way between the silage
from the different types. No one
should be persuaded to base the selec
tion of the silo to be used upon the
statement or supposition that one type
of silo makes better silage than an
other. Any silo that has a tight wall
that keeps out the air and is strong
enough to withstand the pressure will
preserve silage.
If the corn has sufficient moisture
when put into the silo the only thing
that can interfere with the making of
good silage is the admission of air ns
the result of a poorly built silo or In
sufficient packing at the time of filling.
FINE RECIPE FOR WHITEWASH
Directions Submitted By Expert of
Oklahoma College—lntended for
Exterior Work.
In reply to a request, Dr. Charles
K. Francis of the Oklahoma A. and
M. College submits directions for
whitewash as follows:
1. Place 02 pounds (one bushel) of
quick lime in a watertight barrel or
tub. Slake this by pouring on 12
gallons of hot water. Keep covered
until steam ceases to rise, and stir oc
casionally to prevent scorching.
2. Dissolve two pounds common salt
and two pounds of zinc sulphate in
two gallons of boiling water.
Pour 1 into 2, add two gallons skim
milk and mix thoroughly.
Whitewash prepared in the manner
outlined is intended for exterior work,
such os fences and outside buildings,
but may be used for interior work.
INJURY DONE BY CHINCH BUG
Sucks Juices of Corn, Wheat, Sorghum
and Other Plants May Be
Trapped in Ditches.
The chinch bug sucks the juices of
corn, wheat, sorghum and other plants
of the grass family. They may be
trapped In dusty ditches, if they go
from wheat to corn, or In rainy
weather an oil or tar barrier may be
necessary. If they get to the corn,
spray It with soapsuds, emulsion or
tobacco solutions. The clump forming
grasses by roadsides and in waste
lands may be burned in late fall nnd
early winter to kill chinch bugs which
collect there for the winter.
GOOD FEEDING IS IMPORTANT
Folly to Expect Profit From Animals
Not Well Kept—Good Breeding Is
of Big Value.
The more we study the live-stock
business, especially as generally con
ducted in the South, the more thor
oughly we become convinced of the ut
ter folly of expecting a profit from
animals that are not well fed. Breed
ing is of great value, but to the South,
good feeding is even more Important, for
good breeding without good feeding
passes for naught.—The Progressive
Farmer.
litter as possible for bedding; for by
being mixed with the animal manure
it Is more readily decayed. Much
waste material can be made Into good
manure in this way.
The stalls should be fairly deep, so
that they will hold nil the manure
which accumulates between times of
planting the various crops. The ani
mals will pack the manure by tramp
ing, and it keeps best when packed.
It should be moist, but not wet, and
should be protected from sunshine. —
Clemson College Bulletin.
DANGER IN SPRAYING CELERY
Carelessness in Applying Bordeaux
Mixture Often Results in Leaving
Copper on Stalks.
A note from the United States de
partment of agriculture calls attention
to the fact that bordeaux mixture,
made of lime and copper sulphate, is
much used to prevent the destruction
of the Florida celery crop by blight,
and that carelessness in the application
of this mixture sometimes results in
leaving excessive amounts of copper
on the stalks. Tills appears to be
often due to the use of knapsack in
stead of power spraying outfits, the
former not operating at a pressure high
enough to make a fine spray or mist.
Accumulations of copper are indicated
by a blue-green appearance of the
base of the celery. As this deposit
Is injurious to health, stalks on which
it appears should be thoroughly
scrubbed before use, after which there
will be no danger of bad effects. —Sci-

BRIGHT PEA HULLS AS FEED
Keenly Relished by Mules and Other
Kinds of Live Stock—Avoid
Those Moldy or Tainted.
Bright pea hulls that are not moldy
may be used as a rough feed for mules
and are keenly relished by all kinds of
live stock. They should lie fed dry,
like hay. Be careful to see that they
are free from dust and dirt or other
wise it will be necessary to wet them
before feeding. However, no moldy
or tainted cowpea hulls should be fed
to mules or horses, although they tire
all right in the steer ration.
To lend relish to the pea hulls a lit
tle salt may be sprinkled over them.
If they are clean, bright and properly
cured the work animals will clean
them up in short order. Only a small
quantity of hulls should be fed for the
first two or three days until the ani
mals get used to the roughage, when
8 to 10 pounds a day may be given to
each mule.
HABIT OF ALL-COTTON MAN
Must Pull Fodder or Buy Roughage
Both Very Expensive—Growing
Hay is Cheaper.
The all-cotton farmer must pull fod
der or buy roughage, both very ex
pensive. Fodder pulling has a very
strong hold on the small farmer and
the all-cotton farmer. There is not any
better way to break away from this
habit than to plant cowpeas and sor
ghum for hay. As long as the farmer
makes no effort to grow hay he sim
ply must pull fodder or buy hay. To
produce hay is cheaper than either.
Cut down on some of the cotton acre
age and plant enough in peas and sor
ghum to furnish sufficient roughage
without the fodder. Learn to grow
more hay, and soon fodder pulling will
lose its charm. Certainly it is a very
unpleasant undertaking during the
hot days of August and September.
FEEDING OF MOLTING FOWLS
Should Not Differ Materially From
That of Laying Hens—Sunflower
Seed Hastens Molt.
The feeding of molting hens should
not differ greatly from that of laying
hens. Both eggs and feathers nre rich
in nitrogen, so a food adaptable for
eggs will also make feathers. How
ever, the latter are richer in oil than
eggs and some food of oily nature
should be added to the ration to sup
ply this want. It has been conclusive
ly proved that a liberal amount of sun
flower. flaxseed or oil meal to the ra
tion makes hens molt faster and leaws
them in a stronger condition and with
more vitality.
