As for the men Victor Hugo and some other notables had such antip athy to 13 that they refused to sit down at table where there were that many present. Not long ago a French cabinet officer, in entertaining Andrew W. Mellon, discovered with alarm that 13 Were present and hastily summon ed his wife to sit in at,the stag affair. Prime de Rivera was said to have been doomed by 13. His name was composed of 13 letters, and he set out to save the reign of Alfonso the 13th on the 13th of September. He ap pointed 13 ministers and died under a combination of 13 accidents. Captain Frank Hawks, who recently "cracked up," carried license No. 1313 and tlew ship No. 13. In Paris no houses bear the number 13. In that city there are people known as iourteeners" who are paid for making 14 at a table in an emergency. The Brit sh have emit ted the hoodoo number for the auto tags. The Italians ban it in lotteries and the new Turkish republic has dropped it from its vocabulary, Even the abougines of Mexico and Central America abhor the number. The an cient Hindus, ton, disliked it. In our own country many great of fice buildings have no 13th ioor and most hotels number the 13th room 12-A or pass the figure altogether. Railroads and steamship lines report that travel is lightest on the 13th of the month. Friaays couplet with the dread 13 have played a part in the dark : days of history, with special reference to wars and the stock ex change transactions. The hoodo about 13 has been trac ed to the Last Supper, and even be fore that. But, take the word of The 13 Club of Washintrton for it. 13 is not so had after all. It will be remembered that Kimr Louis the 13th of France made his title consist of 13 letters and select ed the 13th of the months for im portant steps. Representative Lud low of Indiana also finds 13 a lucky number. The famous expior?r -Van-sen started for the artic on the 13th with 13 men and returned to civli- zation on the 13th to be the 13th guest at a dinner party on Friday the 13th. The custom of the bridegroom giv ing the bride 13 pieces of gold is still Observed in some Latn countries. Some authors think there is such good luck in 13 that they try to have their published works first appear on the 13th. Richard Wagner, who had w, letters in his name and was born in 1813, finished and performed many of his pieces on the 13th of the month. General Pershing -was born on the 13th and arrived in France on the 13th.- ' : ''".,,: ' And. last, blit not least., our republic started with 13 states, our first flag 13 stars and 13 stripes, John i aui Jones's name contained Is letters.

The sci.tcMvre contest that was run im this paper last week created much interest and quite a number of ane weres were submitted. Several ans w rs were made in the form of a small booklet, while others used other meth ods of proving that their ideas were original. The judges finally -decided that the answer sent in by Mrs. John Hall, Jr , was the most original, neat est, and aW correct. Mrs. Hall's answer was made on a sheet of cardboard with the sentence, "When looking for bargains try Way nesville Merchants first," cut from the taTds that were used in making up the .eentence. The words were cut in the shape of arrows and followed each other in order of their appearance in the sentence. Around this sentence, which was arranged in an arch diape, three colors of thread was used to make an artistic border around the cardboard. This answer showed that much tinw was used and the idea was very original. The contest was staged in connec tion With the second trade event stag ed by -local merchants. Many shop ptrs tool: advantage of the many bar gains offered last Friday and Sat urday. One merchant participating stated that he had the best business t-ince Christmas, which indicates that the merchants and custumers benefit ed from the event.

Because the bean plant is tender, it is eaisly injured by poisons which are too strong, therefore Mr. L'run- non recommends magnesium arsenal: spray as the best control. This kills the beetles and does not hui V f e beans. For the small garden patch, fine level teaspoonf ul of the magne sium arsenate to three gillons oi water will make a good spray. Where the beans are grown in large acre ages the solution is best made by mix ing one pound of the magnesium ar senate to 50 gallons of water and ap plying at the rate of 90 to 100 gal lons an acre. Spraying should begin wht-r: ths beetles are first found in the. Held Where the pests are numerous, this should be continued every we -k ar ten days. Often three or four applica tions are necessary, but usuiiJy two careful sprays will do for snap bears. Butter beans require, more -..it tent on.
