5 THE PINEHURST OUTLOOK Eider Haggard, creepy , thing For, moving solemnly in a ring, "Were three masked men, 'neath the waning moon, Dancing the Pig Bandit Rigadoon! A "horrible, creepy, eyrie feeling, Down the night watchman's back went stealing; For he who has by any; chance, Seen the awful Pig Bandit Dance, Is filled with a mighty desire to flee, Back to the hills lof the clay countree. The watchman shook like a frightened nigger, 'Till he shook a twig against his trigger, Bang! went his gun out went the light, And 'nothing was left but the dreadful night! THE FEUDAL SUMMONS The very next morn, as required by law, He spake to the Duke of all he saw; Of the blazing light and the waning moon, And the terrible Pig Bandit Eigadioon. Then quoth the Duke, "Such things must cease, It is my duty to keep the peace. I will walk the night 'till this robber band, Is forever ousted from Samarcand." So he called in his knights and serfs from the farm, And gave instructions that all should arm. Senor Butler of figure trim, George the Maurice, of visage grim, Mason, the scribe, with his deadly Colt, And Henry, his guest; of the tribe of Holt. Each to the Duke's request replied, And "Death tio the Pig Bandits," loudly cried. THE AMBUSCADE That night the Duke with his sturdy band; The cream and flour of Samarcand, Worthy stock of the old Crusaders, Set forth to capture the Berkshire raiders. Scarce had they reached the chufa fields, "When they heard the sound of distant wheels, Coming slowly along the road, By the very spot where the swine abode. The band crouched low and with bated breath, "Waited the coming of glory or death. THE LONE HERO Niow it happened that Malcolm, yclept McCready, Fared forth that night to see his lady, And coming back in a state forlorn, Had bought him a quart of illicit corn To sooth the pangs of his broken heart, And heal the wounds of Cupid's dart. (For it happened that Malcolm had also ran, And his lady gone off with another man) So driving along, plunged deep in gloom, He suddenly saw a tall figure loom, Out of the darkness beside the road, "Which up to his wagon swiftly strode. Malcolm drew rein. "Halt, who goes here, And have yiou any pigs in the rear?" Came the voice of the Duke of Samarcand, And straightway up rushed his gallant band, Each one armed to the teeth and ready, To spill the blood of Malcolm McCready. The rest is writ in the records of court, Held at Carthage, in brief and tort, "Written by Sewell and Burns and Spence, At the cost of many a thousand pence, How Malcolm sued and the Duke defended, And how at last the trial ended. But it will go down to all the ages, And oft be recalled by the sooths and sages How the valiant knights of Samarcand, Went forth to baffle the Pig Bandit Band. r J Timely Word of Caution About the Use of Humus On Your Garden and Lawn ADMITEDLY, humus is the very backbone of any Boil's fertility; without it the ground is sterile. But most deposits of humus found in their watery bed, are acid and entirely devoid of the bacteria so essential to fertility. Their use is dangerous. Reports from all over the country tell of harmful effects. The grass on one of the finest golf courses, near Philadelphia, has been totally killed by its use. Unless the moisture is mechanically driven out, such humus contains 85 per , cent, of water, for which you pay humus rates, making the water come rather high. As far as we can learn, Alphano Humus is the only humus that goes through a process of preparation cov- $12 a ton in bags, by the carload ering months, and resulting in a sweet, dry, finely granulated humus, to which has been added concentrated plant foods in abundance, to make ona ton of it worth four to five of ordinary stable manure. In addition to all this, it is also liberally inoculated with Alphano No culant, makng it lively with at least seven different nitrogen gathering and soil food liberation bacteria. It is free from weed seeds, sanitary and odorless. For your garden, your shrubs, and lawn it is ideal. But make sure you are sure it is Alphano Humus you buy. The Humus with an established reputation of 10 years as your guarantee.
