Waiter Hranum, 19-year o)d pris oner in the county jaii, dug his way nut to a short-time freedom tot the aecond time earty last Sunday eve ning. Sheri# Pettit and his assistants failed to run across the escaped prisoner Sndday night and during the day Monday, but on Mouday night, just after midnight, the run away was located by Deputy Sheriff A. H. Meeker and Marshal D. N. Wiliman at the home of Bert King, about one and one-half miles from Peebles, on the Peebles and Harden pike. Young Branum was in bed asleep when the officers found him. Branum. who was sent to the county jail early in September from Peebles to await the action of the grand jury on a charge of house breaking, made his Bret get-a-way by digging a hole through the north brick wali of the jaii on the night of September 18. He was re captured by the sheriff and his deputy the same night. Sunday night the youn^ prisoner ttsed a similar tool, a piece of steel from his cot, to that he employed several weeks ago. This second time Branum demonstrated that it was just as easy to dig a hole In the west wall as it was in the north wall. Numerous other prisoners have dug their way out of our county jaii and the brick walls of the buiiding are fuii of patched places. Sheriff Pettit, on account of'there being no Sre in the buH pen, had given young Branum the freedom of the outer corridor. Now that the prisoner has vioiated his con fidence twice, the sheriff has placed Branum in the inner enclosure, and he would first have to unlock three doors before he had access to the outer walls.

Dear Editor:—'Mrs. Howland and myself toft Portsmouth on the morning of June 5th for a trip to the Northwest and arrive'* heme October )lth at midnight. We went via the N W. Penn., to Chicago, then over the C. M. St. P. to Seattle. We stop ped off at Spokane and front there to Moscow, Idaho, where we spent two months with our sou. Victor, then back to Spokane and on to Seattie. where we spent two months with our daughter. Ruth. We returned over the Union Peel He via Portland, Ore., to Oglcn, Utah, then over the D. R. via Salt Lake City to Denver, Co)., then over the C. B. Q. to St. Louis. Mo., the B. O. to Cincinnati and home. We visited many interesting piaces during onr trip, among them. Vancouver, B. C., the island of Fletcher Bay in Puget Sound, Snoqualnie Falls, Wash., Grizzley Camp, Potlatch Winchester Saw Mills and Wahha Lake in Idaho. There are thousands of interest ing things to be seen on a trip of this kind, which must he seen to he appreciated. We spent a week camping at Winchester. Idaho, on Craig Moun tain, fishing and having a general good time. While it is not to he compared to the prairie country this side of the Rockies as a farm ing country, owing to lack of moisture, it is a good country in many ways. Every use Is made of electricity, as far as has been dis covered. and it is all generated by water power The people are en terprising. hig hearted and al ways ready to shake your hand and j tell you that they are glad to see you. They have the Middle States j beaten to a "frazzle" on good roads.! You never see a public highway in that country but what is macada mized. and a great many of them! are paved. One can travel hun dreds of miles In Wash., and es-' pecially in King county. where Seattle is located, without ever getting oil a paved road. Tell me, what is the matter with the states on this side of the Rockies? We came HhrttMigh 'hundreds of miles Of rich farming country between Denver and Cincinnati with hardly ever a paved road in sight. It is nearly all mud road until you; strike Indiana and after that, he roads are nothing to boast about What I saw of the Sound country is not an extensive farming country, but for dairying, poultry, herrtes. fruits and vegetables, it is wonder-; fu!, where they can get w ater on i the land. We spent two days at Salt Lake I City and attended the State fair. 1 liked Salt Lake City better than! any other city i saw on the trip.; In laying out and buiiding the, city, the people have done every! thing so thoroughly, that they have made the city a thing of beauty. The blocks of the city, contain 10 acres each, the streets are 96 feet wide, with an 18 foot side-walk, making 132 feet between walls. The new State Capitol complet ed in 1916 is fine. I forget the di mensions but the base is built of polished native granite, and the balance of the building is composed of Georgia marble. Temple square is a beautifut piace aiso. The Grand canyon and Royai gorge be tween Sait Lake City and Denver, is another sight that can't be de scribed. Ail in aii, it is a trip that everyone should make, if posBibie. R. V. HOWLAND.

VEGETABLES STORED IN PITS KEPT FRESH When good ceilar storage for veg etables is not practical, an outdoor pit is recommended by .1. B. Keil, garden specialist of the Ohio Exper iment Station, as a substitute. The soil may be removed from a well drained spot in the garden or backyard to the depth of four or five inches and a layer of straw or leaves placed in the bottom on whieh to pile the vegetables in a conical or oblong heap. The heap is then compactly covered with straw or leaves to the depth of six or eight inches followed by a four-inch layer of soil. The soil for covering is obtained by dig ging a trench for drainage around the heap, leaving space for several more alternate layers of straw and earth as the weather becomes colder. Since vegetables may develop sc-me heat during the early period of stor age it has been found advisable to provide ventilation. A drain tile, or other opening extended through the covering of straw and earth at the top of the heap wiii serve the pur pose, but must be covered in very coid weather to prevent freezing.

DISEASE MAY CARRY j OVER IN SEED CORN The dry weather which has pre vailed in Ohio during the !ate sum mer has favored the infection of seed com by the organisms which cr.use root rot and corn ear rot, ac cording to A. D. Seiby, botanist of the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station. Corn grower's who have not al ready done so should be particularly careful to select disease-free seed com. Such seed should be gathered from the standing stalks or husked very promptly from the shocks after cutting. Corn which has stood long in the shock, especially in rainy jweather, or which has been left in piles on the ground for some days is nearly always unfit for seed since the root rot fungi rapidly spread through the shocks or enter the husked corn from the soil. In seasons like the present when an abundance of healthy seed corn is available, it is an excellent plan to save a double quantity of seed to guard against the possibility of poor seed the following season. Two year-old corn, if carefully preserved, will grow nearly as well as .seed saved the previous season and is cer tainly to be preferred to disease-in fected see(i. HOLD YOUR WAR SAVINGS STAMPS Columbus, O.,—Hold to your 1918 war saving stamps until they ma ture, two months hence, on January 1," is the advice of P. J. Wood, di rector of the Government Savings organization in the fourth Federal Reserve district. Director Wood pointed out that the cash value of a $5 war saving stamp in October is j $4.64, but that if held untill Janu ary 1 it will be worth its face value of $5. Owners of the stamps are also warned not to exchange these stamps for securities of doubtful value, even though offers are made to take in the stamps at their face value of $5 each. It i3 suggested, in this connection, that such owners consult with their focal bank or build tng and loan tnstttutxrn omcrc.ls re garding the reinvestment of the money to be returned by the Govern ment in the redemption of the 1918 war savings stamps. Pians are now being formuiated to handle the redemptitn of the 1918 war savings stamps,$90,000,000 of which stii) remains in the hands of persons residing in the Fourth Fed eral Reserve district. It is hoped, of course, that the greater part of this stupendous sum will be reinvested in Treasury Savings certificates, which are, according to Government sav ings officials, "grown-up" war sav ings stamps. These certificates are on sale at practically all postoffices in denominations of $1,000, $100 and $25, costing $820, $82 and $20.50 each, respectively.

OHIO MARY KEYES WILSON It is seldom that one has passed j away within recent years whose life j seemed to give greater promise of increasing usefulness, or who was mourned by a larger number of friends and acquaintances than the subject of this sketch. Mary K. Wilson was born in Aberdeen, Ohio, and removed with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Finlev II Wilson, to Winchester when a chi! it Mr. Wiison numbered among his ancestors some of the oldest pion- eers of Southern Ohio, his grand- j father a descendent of the fifth j Duke of Argyle, having come to Aberdeen from Scotland in eariy iife where he married Mary Shelby, of the famous family of Shetbya s< conspicuous in the eariy history of Kentucky. He buiit one of the first residences in the viiiage, also the old stone fort on the hi!! overlook ing the river, which remained standing until quite recently, and named the town after his native city in Scotland. White a chit't, Mary narrowly es caped death in a severe tornado which swept the surrounding coun try. and she w as saved at most by a miracie to become the center of the sociai circies of our community and for a iife of varied activity. When one of the first literary so cieties in Winchester was organized over thirty-five years ago of which w riter was a member known as the I Winchester Reading Circle she was one of its most active member, and contributed greatiy to its success. At aii social and religious functions she was the iife of the assemblage, j She took great interest in all public i and poiiticai matters and possessed remarkabie favors as a conversa tionalist. For eight years she held the oMce of Worthy Matron in the order of the Eastern Star and took an active interest in aii of its meetings. Recently she became greatly in terested in the temperance and wo man suffrage movements, ani de iivered a number of pubiic lectures on these subjects in various parts of this and neighboring counties. Among the most notable of her pub lic addresses were her fareweii ad dress to the soldiers just hefore their departure for France during the late war. and the welcome ad dress on their return, at the memo rial to Revs. Humphrey and Baiiy in the M. E. church and her address on temperance at the court house in West Union and a! Aberdeen. Soon after ;h visited in Ciermont count*.* doitvcring a number of lectures under the aus pices of the Eastern Star aim gave two notabie addresses in Cincin nati. at which many prominent speakers were present, one at a banquet given at the Gibson House and another at the Lincoln Ciub banquet. She possessed an innate faculty for oratory and moved her audience with a power many of the other sex have found it impossible to equai. But when, at last, she j saw the fuii reaization of her hopes and the resuit of her aimost life )ong labors in a cause she believed to he for the welfare of humanity crowned with success in Nationai i Prohibition and Woman Suffrage, health suddenly gave way and she was compelled to abandon public speaking. On the 9th of June, 1931, she sus tained severe injuries from a fall which kept her confined in a hos pital for two months. She had pat tiaiiy recovered and her entire re covery was hoped for, but other complications ensued, which re sulted in her death and at 10 a. m Sept. 35, 1933, her spirit passed peacefully from earth. In the midst of severe suffering she was patient and contented and welcomed her many friends to her home aimpst until the last. The funeral was conducted at the M. E. church Sept. 37, at 3 p. m., by Rev. Harry F. Lyon pastor and Rev. Edmund Rurdsat! of Batavia with the reading of the 33rd Psaim and hymns of her own seiection, given h^ the choir assisted bv Mr M. C deBruin, and then, on thac pieasant September afternoon, sh6 would have enjoyed so wc!! in iife she was laid to rest in our cemetery, the im pressive Eastern Star ritual being read at the grave by her request by Miss Frank Adams. Florai offerings were contributed by the Eastern Star, the Public Schools of Lockiand, Ohio, Mrs. J. J. Moody and daughters of Mason, Ohio, Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Ktmbie, of Portsmouth, Ohio, Dr. J. B. Wil son and Miss Annette, and a Hora! piece by Mr. B. A. Smith. Mr. M.

THE TWO M!LL COUNTY ROAD LEVY Endorsed by Farm Bureau and the Business Men's Ciubs of County. In the following resolution the Partn Bureau, The Business Men's Clubs of Peebles. Seaman. West Union and Manchester have en dorsed the two mill levy. Whereas: The County Commis sioners have passed a resolution submitting to the electors of Adams county, the question of levying two mills against all the taxable prop erty of the county, for a period of tive years, beginning In 1924. for the purpose of County Road Repair, and. Whereas: The Commissioners at the same time passed a resolution to return to each township for county road repair a sum equat to the amount collected by the above ievy In said township, thereby as suring each township In the county a fair and equal share in the distribu tion of said funds, and. Whereas: The Adams County Good Ronds Federation has pledg ed its support to a five year program of county road repair and heiieving that this organization wiii see that the road funds are proper ty used for the best advantage of all parts of the county. Now Therefore Be it Resoived:! By The Adams County Farm Bu reau. that they endorse the said two mi!! ievy and pledge themselves to its support at the eiection Novem ber 7, 1922. Signed) H. T.

The same resolution was endorsed by the President and Secretary of The Peebles Business Men's Club, The Seaman Business Men's Club, The West Union Business Men's Club and The Manchester Business Men's Association. Since 1913 Adams county has is sued $202,009.90 worth of 20-year 5 percent Funding Bonds. A Funding Bond is a bond issued by a government to pay for money borrowed, and in the case of Adams county, this money was borrowed to pay the actual necessary running expenses of the county and its in stitutions, such as the County In firmary, and the Children's Home. No county official or set of ofH -ials are to blame, the fault is in our system of taxation, as the tax ing acts limit the amount, that can be levied, whether it be enough or not to pay the expenses of the county. Until 1941 the taxpayers of Adams county wit! be paying in terest on money borrowed from 1913 to 1922, inclusive, to pay the expenses of running Adams county during the above years. A twenty-year 5 percent bond doubies, so you can easiiy see that it means thousands of dollars paid out for interest and not one cent benefit therefrom. Think of the fine system of highways we couid build with this money you are go ing to pay in interest untii 1941 If you want to stop borrowing money and issuing funding bonds in Adams county, vote for the wo mill levy. For the first time since 1913 it wiii not be necessary to borrow any money to run the county in 1923. as the two mi!! ievy voted in 1921 for road repair, wiii provide a road fund of $35,000.00, and the two mi Us which wouid have been ievied for roads (had you not voted the ievy), can be appiied to the running expenses and wiii pay them entirety for the coming year. Remember, if you vote down the two mill levy, November 7, we win have the same vicious conditions staring us in the face in 1924. Vote yes on the two miii ievy, save yourseif money and put Adams on The Pay as You Go Pian for the next six years. THE ADAMS COUNTY GOOD ROADS FEDERATION —Advertisement.

The e wiii run as high as eighteen feet iong and some of them are neariy tive feet through at the base. One of them has rings enough to show that it must be at ieast one hundred years oid and was cut in the edge of Adams county where it was since the eariy settiement of the county a iandmark. It was the cor ner of three farms and was known far and wide as the basis for catcuia tions on the iines of these farms and as a basis for the iines of adjoining farms. One of the trees when brought out to the road was over twenty feet iong and was so heavy that it broke the wagon and had to be cut in two before it couid be got to town.

LEAVES HAVE VALUE USED IN f ARDEN i Faiien leaves, unless diseased, are too valuabie to bum. They may be spaded under in the garden adding fertility and humus to the soil; or used as a muich to conserve moisture and keep down weeds; or they may even be used as a covering for appies winter storage, according to J. H. Gouriey, horticulturist of the Ohio Experiment Station. Wherever it is not necessary to burn the leaves because of disease, spaded into the garden soil they i loosen it and add decaying organic matter which eventually becomes the humus of the soil. Many gardens that have been so treated for years I are models of good soil and pro ductivity. Apple leaves, which are cited as an example, contain about HR percent organic matter, of which 2.48 per cent is nitrogen. The remaining ash j contains 5.82 percent of phosphoric j acid and 11.83 percent potash, giving the leaves a fertilizing value which I ought not to be overlooked. Leaves arc also of value for mulch ing beds of shrubbery, particularly such acid loving plants as rhododer jdron, azalea, and laurel. They not only conserve moisture and keep down weeds, but preserve a suitable soil condition for best results in growth. Some householders, it is added, hnd it possibie to store their winter sup piy of appies under a deep covering of leaves. The fruit is heaped on an earthen door in an unused barn or other outbuilding and covered looslv with the leaves. The pile should not be near timbers, and boards should not be placed on the leaves to pack them down or rats may work j through the protection of leaves.
