It is a fungu growth which attacks the grain. The ffollowing very inexpensi 1 method of combating this disease I treatig the seed before planting recommended by A. F. Kidder. pro, fessor of agronomy, IL. .. U. Pour one pint of formalin (a 40) pI cent solution of formaldehyde ga, into 40 gallons ow fater and stir wel if A barrel or kettle may be used fo. this purpose. With a part of thi solution scrub a place on the floor ant there spread the oats to be treated t With a- sprinkling can thoro'lghl moisten the oats with the solution na shovel, them over so that all the pik may have the benefit of it, and then cover them with canvas or old sacks tc prevent the escape of the gas, which destroys the smut germ. This covering should remain for eight oI ten hours, then removed and the oats aspread in thin layers to dry. When thoroughly dry, re-sack, first being careful to fumigate the old sacks by dipping them in the solution. The smut disease is becoming more prevalent each year, hence it is wise to take the precaution of treatign the seed before planting them. Bad Temper From Bad Liver. You can generally blame your, grouch on a lazy liver. Liver ills are , back of coated tongue, bad breath, billiousness and muddy, sallow com plexion. Insufficient flow of bile leaves impnrities iln the liver which poison the entire system. Po-Do-Lax is Nature's remedy.

"It means more than that; it means that I have reached a point at which I am ashan.e:l to admit that there was ever anything to break." Then liste:l: You've helped this thing along as much as, or more than, anybody else in this town; and there U are men right here in Mirapolls-- ' plenty of er--who will kill you like a rat in a hole if you go back on them as you are threatening to. Don't you C know that?" The younger man was balancing the l dpaler cutter across his finger. "That is the least of my worries." he answered, speaking slowly. "I am all smrts .f a moral coward, I suppose; I've proved that often enough in the past few months. God knows. But I'm not the other kind. Mr. Ccrtwrighta" "Then I'11 take a hand!" snarled the tyrant at hay. "I'll spend a million dol lars, if 1 have to, b!acklisting you from one enls of this country to the other' ll fix it so you'll never build any thing bigger than a bog pen again as long as you live! I'll publish your rec ord wherever there is a newspaper to print it!" He pounded on the desk with his fist--''I'll do it-money can do it! More than that, you'll never get a smell of that Chigringo mine-you nor Dave Massingale!" Brouillard tossed the paper-knife in- I to a half-opened drawer and squared himself at the blotting pad. "That is your challenge, is it?" he i sail curtly. "So be it. Start your machinery. You will doubtless get me-. r.'t because you have money, but because for a time I was weak enough and wicked enough to climb down and stand on your level. But if you don't hurry. Mr. Cortwright, I'll get you first. Are you going? One thing more-and it's a kindness; get your son out of "I town before this Massingale matter comes up for adjustment. It will be safer." "Is that all you have to say?" a "Pretty nearly all, except to tell you ' that your time is growing short, and GI you and those who are in with you had at better begin to set your houses in or- Bc der. If you'll come over here at eight dl I o'clock tomorrow night prepared to do fr the square thing by David Massingale, I'll withhold the publication of that letter which will stamp you and your associates as criminals before the law; but that is the only concession I shal ci make." a "You've got to make at least one w more!" stormed the outgoing magnate. "You don't have to set any dates or e anything of that kind for your damned d drowning act!" "Tn justice to a good many peoples t s who are measurably innocent, I shall have to do that very thing," returned the engineer firmly. "The notice will appear in tomorrow's Spotlight." g It was the final straw in the stocky promoter's crushing wrath burden. His fat face turned purple, and for a see n ond or two he clawed the air, gasping t for breath. Brcuillard sat tack in his - chair, waiting for the volcanic up heaval. But it did not come. When he had regained a measure of self-control, Mr. Cortwright turned slowly and went ' out without a word, stumbling over the threshold and slamming the dozr ' heavily as he disappeared. For a time after the promoter's wordless departure Brouillard sat at his desk writing steadily. When the last of the memorandum sheets was filled he found his hat and street coat and left the office. Ten minutes later he had penetrated to the dusty den on the second floor of the Spotlight office where Harlan was grinding copy for his paper. Brouillard took a chair at the desk end and laid the sheets rf penciled government paper under the editor's eyes. Harlan's lean, fine-lined face was a study in changing emotions as he read. But at the end there was an aggrieved look in his eyes, mirroring the poignart regret of a newsman who has fotaid a priceless story which he dares not use. "It's ripping," he sighed, "the big gest t lece of fireworks a poor devil of a newspaper man ever had a chance to touch off. But, of course, I can't print it." "Why 'of course'?" "For the same reason that a sane man doesn't peek down .the muzzle-if a loaded gun when he is monkeying with tha trigger. I want to live a little while longer." Br-uillard looked relieved. "I thought, perhaps, it was on acs count of your investments,' he said. "Not at the present wrlting," amend ed Harlan with a grin. "I got a case of cold feet when we had that little let-up a while back, and when the market upenee I cleaned up anr sent toe sure enough little round dollars home -to Ohio." "And still you won't print this?" "I'd like to; you don't know how much l'd like to. But they'd hang me and sack the shop. I shouldn't blame 'aea. If what you have said here ever gets into cold type, it's good-by Wrap, oils, Why, 8aorplard the whole l*_ r ,.LICO put .t on the wires to the Associated Press. I was merely giving you the v first hack at it." "Gee-gosh! hold on a minute!" ex claimed the newsman, jumping up and U snapping his fingers. "If I weren't such a dod-gasted coward! Let me 1 run in a few 'It is alleged's', and I'll I chance it." "No; it goes as it lies. There are no allegations. It is merely a string of cold facts, as you very well know. Print it if you like, and I11 see to it that they don't hang you or loot the office. I have two hundred of the safest men on my force under arms to night, and we'll take care of you. I'm in this thing for blood, Harlan, and when I get through, this little obstruc tion in the way of progress that Cort wright and his crowd planned, and that you and I and a lot of other fools and knaves helped to build, will be cooling- itself under two hundred feet of water." "Good Lord!" said the editor, still unable to compass the barbaric sud denness of it. Then he ran his eye over the scratch sheets again. "Does this formal notice that the waste-gates will be closed three weeks from tomor row go as it stands?" he inquired. "It does. I have the department's au thority. You know as well as I do that unless a fixed day is set there will be no move made. We are all trespassers here, and we've been warned off. That's all there is to it. And if we can't get our little belongings up into the hills in three weeks it's our less; we had no business bringing them h bra " "if What Y ,u Have Said Here Ever Gets Into Cold Type, It's Good-byl" The editor looked up with a light of a new discovery in his eyes. "You say 'we' and 'our.' That reminds me; Garner told me no longer ago than this afternoon that you are on record for something like a hundred thousand dollars' worth cf choice Mirapolis !I front feet. How about that'" Broiillard's smile was quite hEvert while. "I've kept my salary in a separate pocket, Harlan. Besidento Cold Type, t's Gthat-well, I came hee ed witorh nothingoked p wth and I shall go away with nothing. The rest of it was all stage milney." was quite he was all stage money." "Say-by hen!" ejaculated the own er of the Spotlight. Then, smiting the desk: "You ought to let me print that. I'd run it in red headlines across the j. top of the front page. But, of course. y'u won't. . . . Well, here goes for the fireworks and a chance of a soaped rope." And he pushed the bell tIutton for the copy boy. Late as it was when he left the Spot I light office, Brouillard waited on the corner for a Quadjenal car, and, catch ing one, he was presently whisked out to the ornate villa in the eastern suburb. There was a light in the hall s. and an-ther in a room to the rear, and t it was Amy who answered his touch of the bell-push. "Na, I can't stay," he said, when she asked him in. "But I had to come, If it was only for a minute. The deed is done. I've had my nextto.tbe-last round-up with Mr. J. Wesley Cort wright, and tomorrow's Spotlight will fire the sunset gun for Mirapolls. Is your father here?" "No. He and Stevie are up at the mine. I am looking for theta on every car." "When they come, tell your father it's time to hike. Are you all packed?" She nodded. "Everything is ready." "All right. Three of my teams will be hero by midnight, at the latest. The drivers and helpers will be good men and you can trust them. Don't let any thing interfere with your getting saea ly up to the mountain tonight. There'll be warm times in Gomorrah from this on and I want a free hand-which I shouldn't have with you here." "Oh, I'm glad, glad!-and I'm just as scared as I can be!" she gasped with true feminine inconsistency. "They will single you out first; what if I am sending you to your death, Victor! Oh. please don't go and break my heart t the other way across by getting killed!" He drew a deep breath and laughed. "You don't know how good it sounds to hear you say that-and say it in that way. I sha'n't be reckless. But I'm going to bring J. Wesley and his crowd to book-they've got to go, and they've got to turn the 'Little Buwsm' loose." "They will never do that," she said sadly. "Ill male them; you wait and se." o She looked up with the violet eyes kindling. "I told you once that you could do , anything you wanted to--f you only e wanted to. hard enough. I belleved it e then; I bliteve It now." r "No." he denied with a aese that '. was half sorrowful. "I can't mlats two I. hills without valley between them. "Not in a hundred thousand years, O most inconsistent of women! Didn't iwe agree that that money wak poisoned? It was the purchase price of an immortal soul, and I wouldn't touch it with a pair of tongs. That is why your father couldn't use it; it he. longed to the devil and the devil want ed it back." "Father won't take that view of it," she protested. "Then you'll have to help me to bully him, that's all. But I must go and re lieve Grizzy, who is doing guard duty at the mixers . ...
