Texas Preserves Relic The oldest complete structure still remaining in Texas is the stone fort at San Pedro Springs, San Antonio. Plans to preserve it are well ad vanced. Its construction is placed at various dates between 1690 and 1716. The stone fort formed the southwest corner of a cedar stockade, burned by Indians. Defense of the old fort from attacks of decay has been spurred on by recent loss of the old stone market house and the Vera mendi palace. Both these old build ings gave way to the march of in dustry. The fort is on ground made a park by the city, so is free from danger of razing.

HOT ONLY The Largest Selling Aspirin in the World for 10c BUT ALSO The ORIGINAL Cellophane* Wrapped ASPIRIN always ask for By Courtney Ryley Cooper Copyright by Courtney Ryley Cooper (WNU Service.) PRECEDING EVENTS Joe Barry, country youth In New York, ekes out a living as caretaker in a poor rooming house and accordion player tn Louie Bertolini’s restaurant. Lured by the open country, he spends a night In the fields, neg lecting his duties. Next day Ber tollni discharges him. A fre quent visitor to Bertolini’s of fers him SIO,OOO to impersonate a “bootlegger” In trouble. It means a penitentiary sentence for Joe, and he hesitates. The man, "Martin," gives him SI,OOO "on account,” Next day Joe de posits SBOO in country banks, giving his name as Joseph Brad ley. A circus attracts him. Out side a tent he sees an accordion and is tempted to play It. CHAPTER ll—Continued He used the bellows softly, sur reptitiously, as if be were actually stealing the melody. A truly profes sional instrument like this had fig ured in many a dream of Joe Barry’s; the music of true si eel reeds, the soft action of delicately balanced piano keys, the instant response to pres sure; unconsciously his fingers played more swiftly upon the keys and the pull of the bellows grew stronger; the circus faded. “That’s pretty,” a voice said. The music ceased. Joe Barry felt the blood streaming into his face; he gulped and hastily replaced the accor dion upon the chair. “I didn’t mean to play it,” he said boyishly. Dazedly lie realized that the girl who faced him, now in street clothing, bad been a person of silk and tulle when he last had seen her, swinging gracefully about the center ring of the circus upon a dappled gray horse. Then haltingly: “It’s yours I guess?” “It's In my act,” she said. A pause followed, awkward yet natural, the mutual dispersing of all else while two young persons took stock of each other. The girl was young, only a year or so more than twenty. She was vibrant and alert; with something more in the blue depths of her eyes than mere beauty. The sun came gliding about the end of the little tent and crept into her hair, weaving a thousand meshes of gold there. She straightened ; the clean-limbed vivacity of her rounded Into evidence even under the handicap of clothing. Sud denly she said: “Why don’t you play some more?” Joe Barry stammered. “I don’t know many things.” he fenced and belied himself by reaching eagerly for the gleaming instrument on the chair. “I’m sort of out of prac tice. You see,” he confessed, “I’ve been working in a place where it doesn’t make much difference.” “In a theater?” asked the girl. “No, I was just an entertainer.” He laughed. “My job and I parted com pany, so I thought I'd take a run out of town for a day. I’m glad I did now.” Then he quickly fenced. “A fellow doesn’t get a chance to meet up with an lorio every day.” “A what?” asked the girl. “This kind of a professional accor dion. Know much about accordions?” “I’m afraid not,” the girl confessed and came closer. “You see. Uncle Dan —Mr. Dayton, you know—” “Oh, he’s your uncle?” asked Joe Barry, somewhat awed. “Yes. I’m Sue Dayton.” She smiled at the impressed look in his eyes. “My father and Uncle Dan were part ners, until Dad died. Uncle Dan really reared me tn the ring; Dad al ways looked after the business end of the sho.w.” “I see.” In fact, Joe Barry had paid little attention. Now with quick fin gerings, be drew a soft melody from the responsive instrument tn his grasp. Then again: “Gee, I oughtn’t to be fooling around with this; it’s too val uable.” “I wish Blackie Jordan thought so,” said the girl. “He’s the fellow who plays for you?” queried Joe. “You saw the act, did you?” “Yes.” Joe was awkwardly silent. The girl smiled. “Well, go ahead and say It. You didn’t like it?” “Oh, I liked you.” “But you didn’t like the act? Well,’’ the girlishness of her had faded into a youthful maturity. “I know it isn’t what It should be. You see, in the beginning, the idea was fine. There was a young Italian on the show then who could play the accordion. So we decided on dressing Lombardi In a Pierrot costume, the same white silk one that Blackie wears now, and shutting oft the rest of the show and having him sing and play In the center of the ring while I rested between turns. We could do that all right; the tent is small enough for a voice to reach all parts of it. Can you sing?” she asked naively. "Yes, I sing some,” Joe Barry con fessed. “I used to sing a lot." “I thought you did. I heard you humming when you first started to play.” “Was I?” He laughed. “I didn't notice.” "1 gathered as much. Well, you'd understand what I mean, then. Lom bardi had intended to put on a straight clown make-up—not the funny kind, THE BULLETIN, IRWINTON, GEORGIA you know, but just white, with black diamonds on his forehead and cheeks. 1 was to dress as Pierrette, and he would sing to me. But of course," She added as though Joe Barry knew all about it, “he was hurt just a week before we opened, and I don't suppose he’ll . ever be able to troupe again. We’d already spent all this money for the best accordion Uncle Dan could buy, so we thought we'd salvage what we could. Os course Blackie only plays a little and he hates it, so he doesn’t help much.” “You know, I thought that! I kind of felt he hurt things,” Joe confessed. “You were so—so pretty and graceful, riding around there and so. oh you know, sort of fresh and sweet looking and everything—” “Be careful!” Sue Dayton laughed and grasping a guy rope, put her bead against her upraised arm. “Well—you know, 1 was just telling you what 1 was thinking. He didn’t seem to take much interest. Then I got to thinking, how pretty that all would be if there were somebody in there who just loved to play. This way, Blackie —is that his name?—is just there. But it seemed to me that be ought to come in, like he’d followed you, and play as he entered the ring. And ypu would pose and throw kisses to him from upon the horse. Os course, it was kind of silly, I’ve never seen anything in a circus like that.” “Silly?” The girl had touched his arm. “Don’t you know that it isn’t silly to think of such things, just be cause they’ve never been done?” Sud denly she whirled, and called: “Uncle Dan!” A red-faced man with gray hair and a bulbous nose halted abrupt ly in his swift course from the pad room entrance of the big top. “Well, what is it? What is it, Sue?” he asked. Then he noticed Joe Barry. “Want to see me, young fellow?” “No, but I do,” the girl broke In. “We’ve just been talking—about my act. He has the most wonderful Idea JO ’MS > —?

Joe Barry stammered. “Well, I don't know—yes, I guess I’d sure like one—” “Sing?” “Yes, sir." “Sue here says you’ve got Ideas. Sue’s a pretty good judge. Let’s have them.” Suddenly, he veered. “What’s your name?" A sudden constriction rose in Joe Barry’s throat; he strove to cover It with a cough. He felt his features grow cold and suddenly hot. “Bradley’s my name, sir,” he said at last. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Old May-Day Custom In the Gentleman’s Magazine for 1754 a custom is alluded to that only of late became obsolete, says “Brand’s Observations on Popular Antiquities.” “They took places in the waggon, and quitted London early one May morning, and it being the custom in this month for the passengers to give the waggoner at every inn a ribbon to adorn his team, she soon discovered the origin of the proverb, ‘as fine as a horse;’ for, before they got to the end of their journey, the poor beasts were almost blinded by the tawdry party coloured flowing honours of their heads.” Art Treasure at Palace The summer palace of the Princess Reuss, at Greiz, in Thuringia, in the foothills of the Saxon Erzgebirge, con tains a valuable collection of art works. Os especial Interest is the col lection of 6,000 copper engravings, in cluding 800 mezzotint engravings aft er pictures by Sir Joshua Reynolds. Counterparts of these exist only in the British museum. The collection was made by Princess Elizabeth, daughter of George 111 of England.—German Tourist Bureau. Put Bees in Right Section of Orchard Point Discovered to Be of Much Importance. One virtue of honey bees, of finish ing a job they start, may prove em barrassing to fruit growers. Accord ing to Prof. L. H. McDaniels of the New York State College of Agricul ture, beekeepers call this character istic constancy, which means that when bees once start working on a certain kind of blossoms in a certain place they continue working there un til the supply of nectar or pollen is exhausted. Last year one New York orchardist had poor results from using bees and bouquets, because the bees placed In the apple orchard worked in a near by cherry orchard and did not visit the apple blossoms while the bouquets were shedding pollen. Similar difficul ties have been experienced In the Pa cific Northwest where bees are like ly to visit sagebrush blossoms on sur rounding hills rather than the apple blossoms, unless the apple blossoms are open when the bees are brought to the orchard. Bees are Interested mainly in nectar gathering, and not the problem of cross-pollination. However, honey bees are by far the most important insect which transfer pollen and their use deserves careful consideration by orchardists, Professor McDaniels ad vises. Soybeans Put Forward as Quick Legume Crop What can I plant as a quick legume crop? This question is at hand from several different states. Alfalfa is recognized as the great legume forage, but it cannot be grown in one season or in every place. Many are looking toward soybeans as a solution. There is no doubt about their value, but they have their troublesome points in growth and harvesting. Soybeans are a warm-weather crop, to be planted about the same time as corn, or a little later. They may be sown in rows. 30 inches apart, and cultivated, or drilled like oats. For hay they are cut after the pods are well formed, but before the lower leaves turn yellow. Soy bean hay is one of the best forages for grinding in the modern fodder mills. In that way the rather coarse stalks are all worked up into easily eaten form. The hay itself will run around 12 per cent protein, and the beans as high as 30.—Rural New- Yorker. Rotation Proves Value A rotation including a legume and a cultivated crop has increased the wheat yield on Stockton Brothers farm in Polk county, Oregon, 15 bushels an acre. The Stockton family had produced grain on this farm for 60 years. Yields gradually had decreased to 25 bushels. Four years ago the brothers instituted a rotation of corn followed by clover and thereafter by wheat. In 1931 wheat following such a rotation yield ed 40 bushels. The cultivated crop also has aided in weed control and spread out the farm work. —J. R. Beck in Capper’s Farmer. Legume “Bugs” All other things being equal, the legume inoculant that contains the largest number of bacteria will be the one to use. Abundance of bacteria means just that many more for each seed. Some of the inoculating bac teria will die anyway; some will never reach the plant's’ small roots; some will be washed away; and the inoc ulant containing the largest numbers will have just that many more after losses have thinned the ranks. Play safe —be sure the inoculant contains a large number of efficient bacteria. — Farmer’s Journal It’s Best to Thin To many people it seems almost a crime to pick off a part of the small fruits on peach or apple trees which are carrying a heavy load of fruit. However, experiments have proved that the thinning of peaches to a dis tance of 6 inches between fruits, and apples to only one fruit on one-half of the spurs on the tree, will reduce the cost of thinning and will give fruit of more value. —Kansas Farmer.

BAYER® ASPIRIN TRUTH ABOUT POEM “BEAUTIFUL SNOW” The story that the familiar poem "Beautiful Snow” was written by a young woman who committed sui cide in Cincinnati is a romantic yarn that has tagged after a poem for years. It is entirely untrue. Bur ton E. Stevenson, in “Famous Single Poems,” is one writer who explains the source of the story. During the Civil war an unidenti fied young woman died in the Com mercial hospital in Cincinnati, and among her effects was found a manu script of this poem. It was sent to Enos B. Reed, editor of the National Union, who printed it and credited its authorship to the dead girl. But it developed when the verses began to be copied among the news papers that the lines had originally appeared in Harper’s Weekly of No vember 27, 1858, some years before the death of the unknown girl. The poem was published originally unsigned. It was written by John Whitaker Watson, who was born in When you lose your appetjte—not only "A for food ... but for work and play—don't 1 merely go on worrying.
