ly pb HAs PW L3H ia mR Winter Storage Of Vegetables Maritimes Expert Gives Advice On How to Treat Squash, Pumpkin, Carrots, Beets Vegetables intended for storing for winter use should be grown to as nearly full maturity as pos- sible, otherwise they cannot be ex- pected to keep so well, states James Gallaher, Head Gardener, Experimental Station, Kentville, N.S. - Carrots, beets and parsnips should be kept very cool, and if well dried before storing may be put in large piles so long as there is no disease present. If carrots show signs of rust-fly injury the roots should be stored in smaller quantities, as one blemished root will spoil many in a very short time.' Don't Expose to Frost Squash and pumpkin should be turned over while growing to get all the sunshine possible, and the fruit may be raised off the ground by placing boards or flow¢r-pots underneath. As soon as the rind is firm enough to pre- vent piercing by the fingernail the fruit may be taken off the plant. On no account should the fruit be exposed to the least frost. They should be stored in a warm dry place; a temperature of from 40 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit is suit- able. They should at all times be handled as carefully as eggs; the slightest bruise, even though not noticeable, is likely to cause de- cay in storage. When large quan- tities are to be stored, slatted shelves should be used so that the fruits may not be piled on top of cach other. Live Bird Nests In Woman's Hat The vogue of decorating women's hats with bird feath- ers "and sometimes with the whole bird," was condemned by Dr. J. W. McKinley, be- + fore the Field Naturalists' Club in Toronto last week. "It's not only feathers they are using," Dr. McKinley com- plained, but often the whole bird. The other day I read that a woman walked down Fifth avenue, New York, with a hat decorated with a bird's nest. In the nest was a fam- ily of little birds, and in the mother bird's mouth was a worm! "What is the matter with some women? They pull out their eyebrows and, not con- tent with that, they then des- troy our bird life for a whim." Hair Affords No Key to Ability Many Notables Had Red Locks, Many Did Not Hair doesn't seem to afford any index to genius or character. It is true that among important person- ages history has turned up, there have been a good many red-heads, but the number does not appear to be greater, proportionately, than the number of red-haired persons among the less important, writes a correspondent to The Cleveland Plain Dealer. } John Bunyan had red hair, for one. And Peter the Great's was red and Swinburne's was red. Savan- arola had reddish eyelashes, accord- ing to accounts of him, while Tho- mas Hobbeg had reddish whiskers. To show that red-haired persons have no monopoly of talent, here are the names of a few outstanding figures whose hair was black: Matt- hew Arnold, Samuel Taylor Coler- idge, Stephen A. Douglas, William Hazlitt, Charles Lamb, John Mar- shall, Daniel Webster, John Green. leaf Whittier, John Paul Jones, Sir Arthur Sullivan. i Among those whose hair was classified as "dark" were Browning, Alexandre Dumas, Robert Louis Stevenson, Rossetti, and Mendels- sohn. William Cullen Bryant's, Defoe's, Cromwell's, Longfellow's and Farragut's heads were brown, And the downright blondes have in- cluded (among many others) Keats and Trackeray. Dignified Dunking Doughnut dunkers need no long- er hide their shame behind the Bigar bowl, for now they have society's blessing--so long as they call their shots and 'use the right grip. To dunk is "all right at an formal house party or little snack after theatre," Mrs. Gert- ude Kay, head of Amerson Col- lege's drama department, Boston, told a class in social usages. "But ~--it is never correct either unless you hold the doughnut you are dunking betwéen your thumb and third finger of your right hand. All other forms are crude." Serial Story EE -- a _ ------ " "Ylig Nonasied Guns of Circle L" SYNOPSIS--SIim Loyale is par- oled from prison after serving 18 months for a crime he did not com- mit. He returns to his Circle L ranch to find his father dead and sinister forces at work, trying to make him violate his parole so that he can again be railroaded to pri- son. . CHAPTER IV "Slim!" he cried out delightedly. "Slim Loyale; yuh danged young whelp, how are yuh, boy? Put her there! Gosh, I'm glad to see yuh." Slim knew Spud Dillon well, and he knew that Spud meant every word of his greeting. So he wrung Dillon's hard heartily and smiled. "An' I'm shore glad to see yuh, Spud, yuh fat ole duffer. I do be- lieve yuh've been losin' weight," Spud guffawed. "Oh, sure I am. I've only taken on twenty more pounds since I saw yuh last, Slim. Have a drink. I'm buyin'." "Remember Your Parole" As Dillon turned for bottle and glasses, a silver dollar was rung on the bar. Then a cold, sneering voice sounded. "When yuh get through makin' over yore jailbird friend, Dillon, we'd like some ser- vice." « Slim caught his breath in a little hiss and whirled. His face was white, and his lips a tight, straight line. He made a queer rasping sound in his throat and he stepped away from the bar, crouching. "Brockwell," he grated thickly, "yuh--" "Shut up, Slim!" 1t was Dakota Blue who spoke. His hand locked on Slim's shoulder and he pulled the young fellow back, stepping be- tween him and the Brockwells. "Remember yore parole, kid," he muttered. "I'll handle this." Dakota walked toward the Brockwells. Sarg Brockwell was a big man, dark of hair and swarthy of skin, His face was broad with high cheek bones and little, glint- ing eyes. His lips were thick, and in repose wore a continual, confi- dent grin, disclosing two rows of teeth, startling in their size and whiteness. As Spud Dillon had said one time "I never look at them teeth of Sarg Brockwell's but what I think of a graveyard." High Words Leo Brockwell was smaller than his father, with the same swarthy coloring and black eyes. But Leo's mouth was thin, sarcastic and sneering, twisting up at one corner. He was built on the lithe, feline lines of a panther, and he moved with the same slinking walk, His hands on his hips, Dakota Blue stopped a yard from the Brockwells. "Which one of yuh made that crack?" he demanded coldly. ' Do This If You're NERVOUS Don't take chances on harmful opiates and products which bi know nothing about. Use common sense.

For over 60 years one woman has told another how to go Jeniiing thru" with Pinkham's Compound--Ilet it help YOU, by Perry Westbrook "Yes, by jiminy," yelped Spud Dillon, his round face scarlet with anger, "lemme tell yuh somethin', Sarg Brockwell! I don't like yuh or yore no-good son or nothin' about yuh, savvy? [I choose my own friends an' to hell with yuh! Yuh've had yore last drink over this bar, Yore money ain't worth a hoot here, from now on. Chaw on that!" Neither of the Brockwells paid any attention to Dillon, They were watching Dakota Blue. "Well, I'm waitin'," drawled Dakota. "Which one of yuh made that crack?" Leo's lips twisted. "I did," he snarled. "What's it to yuh?" "This!" Dakota's fist moved with start- ling speed. It landed with a spat on young Brockwell"s mouth and he went over backward, clawing at his gun. At Dakota's movement, Sarg Brockwell had jumped back, his right hand flashing to his hip. Thrown a little o balance by his blow, Dakota lagged on his draw, and it looked as if Sarg Brockwell had him dead to rights. Here Jeo Rooney stepped into the game. At the first hint of hostil- ities, Joe had slipped away from the pool table, a cue gripped in his hands, his faded old eyes glinting purposefully. And now, as Sarg Brockwell threw down on Dakota, Joe jammed the cue between Sarg Brackwell's ankles and gave it a violent twist. Brockwell, his feet cut from un- der him, cursed raucously as he fell forward, and his gun rammed flame and smoke into the floor, Dakota's return shot, loosed as Brockwell was falling, cut through the shoul- der of Brockwell's shirt, just nick- ing the heavy muscles. The Best Of It Before Brockwell could straight- en himself, Dakota stepped forward and kicked the gun from his hand. Leo Brockwell, dzzed and bleed- ing, was mumbling curses and fum- bling at his gun. As he raised it, Joe Rooney slammed him across the wrist with his cue. The gun thumped to the floor, where Dako- ta Blue snapped it up. Dakota stepped back. *"A'right, Joe," he drawled. "Let 'em up. I got their stingers. An' much oblig- ed, Joe. That was quick, heady work." Sarg Brockwell lurched to his feet and dragged Leo up beside him. A little smear of blood show- ed on Sarg's shoulder. And before anyone could speak further, Jigger Starbuck came lunging through the swinging doors, a drawn gun in his hand. "What's goin' on in here?" he snapped. "Loyale, are yuh in trou- ble already?" } "Hardly," answered Dakota, smil- ing thinly. "Not quite so fast, Star. buck. Damned if yuh don't act like yo're just waitin' a chance to try an' hang somethin' on Slim." For just a moment a wary film seemed to shadow Starbuck's eyes, Then he gripped himself. "Well, what's wrong then?" he demanded. "Who did that shootin'?" "I did--part of it," answered Da- kota. "I just nicked Sarg, darn the luck. He blew a hole in Spud's floor." "Yeah, I can see that," sneered Starbuck testily. "But how'd the CONTEST RULES: indiv 0-0-0000 BB -Bb : Extra Money For Christmas! $10 In Prizes For. the best Christmas or New Year's Dinner Menu 1.

"He is," bawled Spud Dillon, still bubbling with wrath and pointing at Leo. "He made a dirty crack at Slim. He did it just on purpose I'm bettin', to try to get SHm to make a gun-play, knowin' that if the kid did, his parole would be busted sky-high, But Dakota stepped in an' walloped him one. "Listen good," growled Star- buck, stepping over to Slim, "Lem- me see yore guns, Loyale.," "Let him have 'em, Slim," cau- tioned Dakota, 'Shore, I'm begin- nin' to see through lots of things." "Meanin' just what, Blue?" Star- buck whirled and faced Dakota, his head thrust forward. "What's it mean to yuh?" retort. ed Dakota easily, "Don't get too touchy, Starbuck, or folks will be- gin thinkin' things." Starbuck licked his lips, then turned to Slim. One after the other he twitched out Slim's guns, punched out the shells and squinted through the barrels. As he return- ed them, he frowned at Sarg Brock- well. "Go easy on startin' things, Brockwell," he ordered. "An' tell that cub of yores to button his lip. 1 won't stand for trouble around here--none whatever." Dakota, watching Sarg and Star- buck carefully, thought he caught just a glint of understanding pass- in the quick glance they exchanged. Brockwell nodded. ¢Call it our fault this time," he growled. 'But we ain't forgettin' at no time. An' that goes for yuh an' yuh," he fin- ihed, indicating both Spud Dillon and Joe Rooney. "See if we care!" yelped Spud: "] got somethin' off my chest what's been gaggin' me for som: time, Brockwell, I shore read ycie walkin' papers. As for Joe, well, 1 allus knew he was a good man.
