Dr. Hanson says he doesn’t need a

hat his cxperiments will go ahead, re
ardless of what the country folks
think of his “newfangled” notion.
The trouble began when the clinic
eoresentcd by Dr. Hanson, a special

qd announced to the world that
enceiorth West Dennis would have
omething besides its traditions to

How to Prepare the Soil to
Improve and Make Better Crops
The experiment stations have made
many tests and the results obtained
show that the earlier the plowing the
larger the yield, says the Progressive
Farmer. Stubble land and other land
that is to be sowed in fall crops should
be plowed just as soon as possible.
The disk harrows, large plows, peg
tooth harrows and roller pulverizers
and cultipackers should be busy every
day until the soil is thoroughly pul
verized for 8 or 10 inches deep, ex
cept where the surface soil is thin and
settled. Unless there is a large amount
of vegetable matter to be plowed un
der not more than one inch of sub-soil
should be turned up each year.
The growing weeds and grass afford
an unusual opportunity to fill the soil
with humus. It is an opportunity to
put new life into the soil and largely
increase its water-holding capacity.
Land covered with a rank growth
of weeds and grass cannot, as a rule,
be broken deep enough to turn under
all weeds and grass and to furnish a
seed bed deep enough for wheat, oats,
barley and rye roots, excepting where
tractors are used to pull the plows and
harrows.
It is absolutely necessary to use
disk harrows to cut the weeds and
grass into short pieces and to pulver
ize the surface of the soil before the
land is plowed under in order to make
a good seed bed. A large, rigid frame
disk harrow, with sharp disks and

'DOUBLE OF FORMER PRESI
~ DENT ADMITS THAT HE
| SWUNG ELECTION IN 1912.
NEW YORK, N. Y.—-Woodrow
Wilson’s double was before Judge
Mancuso, in general sessions, on Wed
nesday on a charge of burglary.
The double’s name is Corliss Cen
tennial Cunningham. He is remarkably
like the former president in appear
ance before Mr. Wilson became so ill,
and described himself as a Shakespear
ean scholar.
When asked where he lived he re
plied “on Forty-second street, between
Fifth and Sixth avenue,” and added
that he had one of the finest libraries
in existence. By patient questioning
the judge discovered that Cunning
ham’s home was_a park bench and the
library the New York public library.
Tells About His Dance.
Interest in Cunningham’s personali
ty overshadowed interest in his al
leged offenses when he was arraigned,
and he riveted the attention of his
audience at the start by announcing
that he “elected Mr. Wilson the first
time.”
He was asked how he did it.
“] danced,” the prisoner replied.
“How?"” asked the judge again, sus
piciously.
“I danced and sang,” repeated Cun
ningham. “Vance McCormack, Wil
son’s campaign manager, came to me
and suggested that in view of my re
semblance to Wilson I take a song
and dance it out on the platform.
“It was feJt that my geniality would
warm up the rural voters. I got him
225,000 votes, the votes of people who
voted for him thinking he was me,
or 1 was him, or we were one.”
After listening for a half hour to
the monologue of the prisoner the
judge decided to appoint a commis
sion to examine into Cunningham’s
sanity.
Died From Blood Taint;
Kept Her From Marnage
Jumped to Death Off Bridge Rather
Than Reveal Secret to Her Lover.
Despondent because she knew blood
ties barred her marriage Margaret Van
Cleas, 21, a nurse, leaped to her death
from “Suicide Bridge,” spanning the
Genesee river at Rochester, N. Y.
Room mates of Miss Van Cleas told
how she had often reiterated her de
sire to die because she could not tell
her fiance negro blood flowed in her
veins.
The woman, her friends said, often
declared she would not marry and ap
parently had mapped out a course that
would carry her through the channels
of single blessedness.
About a year ago she met. the man,
and he, it is said, unconscious of her
parentage, proposed marriage. As time
bore on his calls became more fre
quent and she was forced to decide the
issue. Refusing to divulge her secret,
she disappeared the night the answer
was to be given.
VAST QUANTITY OF HOME
MADE GOODS BY WOMEN
Farm housewives last year either
put on their pantry shelves or sold
1,335,000 containers of jelly, 9,500,000
cans of fruit and vegetables, and 715,

culture and state agricultural colleges.
weighted with heavy weights, should
cross and recross the field and overlap
besides, until the weeds and grass are
cut into short pieces and a large part
of the vegetable matter incorporated
with the surface two or three inches
of the soil.
The land can be broken uniformly
'to any reasonable depth, effecting a
' foundation for an ideal seed bed by
lthe use of the tractor and tractor
plows. The tractor farmer is equipped
for rapid plowing and also for quick
seed bed preparation, as he can plow
and harrow at the same time. He is
not compelled to sacrifice thorough
ness and “slap in” his fall crops.
The furrow slice, whether thick or
thin, should be thoroughly pulverized
with a sharp disk harrow. The trac
tor plow turns the soil to the proper
depth, but the final preparation of the
seed bed depends upon the use of the
disk harrow, the peg-tooth harrow,
and the roller pulverizer or the culti
packer. The soil must be fine and
compact.
Every farmer knows that rains and
time will compact the soil, but the
farmer who is anxious to obtain the
largest possible yield often cannot
wait for a rain to compact or settle
the soil. He must often use the disk
|harrow and roller pulverizer or culti
packer to compact the summer and
lfall plowed ground and put it in the
right condition for planting of fall
_crops.
ANDREWS EXPEDITION HAS
BEGUN SEARCH TO FIND
THE ORIGIN OF MAN.
NEW YORK.—Dr. Frederick A.
Lucas, assistant director of the Amer
jcan museum .of natural history, said
that it was hoped that the museum’s
Mongolian expedition, headed by Ray
Chapman Andrews, which already has
made important discoveries of the fos
sil remains of prehistoric reptiles and
animals in the Gobi desert, would dis
cover proof that Asia was the birth
plface of mankind, as well as of animal
life.
Find Bones, Implements.
Chinese scientists already had found
the bones and implements of primeval
man in the Gobi region, near where
Andrews found his fossils, he said,
although they had given no complete
report of their discoveries yet.
“I refer,” Dr. Lucas said, “to the
recent discovery in the region between
Kalgan and Urga by the China geo
graphical service of a prehistoric cave
containing bones and clumsy stone
implements, which undoubtedly will
prove to be contemporaneous with the
Neanderthal man, who existed 200,000
years ago. That we have not received
full details about the discovery is due
lto the fact that the Chinese have not
yet published their findings. The
American expedition was not allowed
to excavate in this particular region,
although they had planned to do SO,
True Place of Man’s Origin.
The true place of man’s origin is
believed by American anthropologists,
such as Henry Fairfield Osborn, di
rector of the American museum of
natural history, to be somewhat fur
ther south and to the east of the point
where the Chinese made their discov
ery, particularly in the regions of the
Alashan mountains, which border the
Gobi desert on the southeast. One di
vision of the American museum ex
pedition, under Walter Granger, is
making excavations in the Alashan
mountains.
The museum authorities here ex
pect to hear shortly of the discovery
of fossils of man, even further removed
in historical ages than that of the
Neanderthal man, as well as such that
are contemporaneous with the Nean
’derthal specimens discovered in New
|Jcrse_v and Florida and in various
places in Europe.
. Tells of Gobi Desert. ‘
Many known facts, according to
Dr. Lucas, have convinced anthropol
ogists that man originated in north
ern Asia, and the possible discoveries
of the expedition working in the Alas
han mountains will enable scientists to
prove definitely that Asia was the base
from which man originally started to‘
spread to all parts of the globe. i
Regarding the theory of man’s dis-|
persion in ancient times, Dr. Lucas
caid that man began to spread from
a region like the Gobi desert in north
ern Asia to the west and to the east,
but primarily in a western direction,
as it offered him the least amount of
obstacles. That the migration of man
was principally in the direction of Eu
rope is seen from the fact that the
American continent was the last of all
to be populated by man.
MILLIONS UNITED BY
A WEDDING IN TEXAS
Bride and Groom Have Fortune of 15
And 50 Million Respectively.
' EL. PASO, Texas.—The marriage
of Guy L. Waggoner and Miss Annie
Burnett in New York on Monday
unites two of the oldest pioneer fam
ilies as well as two of the richest fam
ilies in Texas.
The bride’s grandfather, the late
Capt. Burk Burnett, was an Indian
fighter and trail blazer of the Lone
Star state. The fortune of $15,000,000
which he accumulated in cattle, land
and oil he left almost entirely to Miss
Burnett.
The bridegroom, son of W. T. Wag
goner, was a boyhood friend of the
bride’s father, Thomas Burnett. The
Waggoner fortune, to which the bride
groom is the principal heir, is estimat
ed at $50,000,000 to $75,000,000.
Miss Burnett is understood to be 19
vears of age and her husband 38.

THE DAWSON NEWS
| CHINESE
TURRETS ARE IN RUINS AND
TOURISTS CARRY AWAY
MANY SOUVENIRS.
The great wall of China is slowly
crumbling into ruins, declare tourists
who have visited the structure at Nan
kow, China, where it is accessible.
Many of the turrets are falling into
ruins, awd tourists are carrying away
hundreds of blocks from the structure.
No efforts are being made to pre
serve the wall, government officials
declaring they have been told it will
last for several hundred years. The
wall was built about 2200 years ago
as a defense against savage tribes of
Tartars.
One million workmen were employ
ed in constructing the main part of
the wall, it is said. Records have been
found that show there were 700,000
|criminals engaged in the work at one
time.
SMALLEST BANK IN COUN
TRY HAS $2,000,000 BEHIND IT
In the town of Normal, a small sub
urb of Lincoln, Neb., is what is
thought to be the smallest bank in the
country. It was organized three years
ago, with a capital of $15,000. A small
frame structure, only 16x20 f{feet, it
represents a total amount of resources
which might easily be the envy of a
much larger banking house, for its
stockholders are conservatively esti
mated to be worth upward of $2,000,-
000.
The first scientific study of rubber
was by a Frenchman in 1736.
The First Application Makes Skin
Cool and Comfortable
If you are suffering from eczema or
some other torturing, embarrassing skin
trouble you may quickly be rid of it by
using Mentho-Sulphur, declares a noted
skin specialist.
This sulphur preparation, because of
its germ destroying properties, seldom
fails to quickly subdue itching, even of
fiery eczema. The first application
makes the skin cool and comfortable.
Rash and blotches are healed right up.
Rowles Mentho-Sulphur is applied like
any pleasant cold cream and is perfectly
harmless. You can obtain a small jar
from any good druggist.
