Knmn. mm nr r am Jfonfaflus, and Juliet, daughter of the Capulets, marry At secret. Juliet's cousin Tybalt force Bo rneo to duel and it killed. Romeo is banished from Verona. Friar Laurence, his confessor, counsels him to flee to Mantua and re main there until he can pave the way for his return. Lord and Lady Capulet, not knowing Juliet has married Romeo, arrange for her to marry Count Paris. Juliet seeks Friar Laurence's aid. Be gyves her a potion which will make her seem like dead for 42 hours, his Vm being to have her family lay her to rest in the Ca pulet Tomb and, at the end of the 42 hour, he and Borneo will rescue her. Juliet eagerly con sents to his plan. ''Juliets jest Chapter Ten l-yRIAR Laurence gazed into I 11 Juliet's shining face. C"2g"Be strong!" he urged ,and sent her on her way with his bless ing and his prayer. When she had gone, he hastily at himself down at his table to pen the promised note to Romeo. His quill moved rapidly over the paper. There must be no sllp-up! Time was of the essence! Romeo must arrive from Mantua at the tomb of the Ca pulets upon the hour, lest Juliet waken from the sleeping po tion and by some mischance, found alive by others. And even as Juliet made her homeward way, his messenger, JPriar John, was galloping toward Mantua, the letter to Romeo safely hidden on his person. Juliet hurried along the path arriving soon at the street that led to her house. The sounds of the fevered activi ty within greeted her. Her father's Voice boomed above the clc.'ior. She entered the garden and I:rc--e& herself to smile as ha turned .o her. "How now, my headstrong," he called. "Where have you tcon gad ding?" "Where I have learned to repent the sin of disobedient opposition to you and your behests," she answer ed softly. "I am Enjoined by holy Laurence to fall prostrate here and . beg your pardon." She kneeled humbly before him. "I'm glad," he answered kindly and helped her to her feet. "This Is as it should be." Me caressed her and dismissed her. She made her slow and quiet way toward the house, her nurse follow ing at her heels. She ascended the wide stairs in silence and made "straight for her bedchamber. There displayed, were her wedding clothes. The nurse fingered each garment, lost in admiration. Juliet seized the : moment to slip the vial containing the sleeping potion F.iar Laurence ad given her into hei jewel casket. She then turned to ber nurse and made pretense of sharing the other's pleasure. "Ay," she observed. "Those attires mre best. But, gentle nurse, I pray thee leave me to myself tonight." Lady Capulet looked in upon them. "Need you my help?" she eked. "No, madam," Juliet replied, and With a smile crossed to where her mother stood. "Please," she begged wistfully, "let me be left alone?' Bet mother nodded; Indeed It wilted her purpose most excellently not to linger; moreover she herself 4ad need of the nurse. A thousand ' details of the wedding awaited their Mention. Lady Capulet bent io kiss the -irl's forehead. "Get thee to bed nd rest," she said, "for thou hast jieed," and motioned the nUrse to follow her out of the room. - Juliet watched them as they hustled down the corridor. . ' - "Farewell," she murmured. "God "knows when we shall meet again." ' "' Slowly aha walked' to the table and from the jewel casket took torth the. vial She looked, at It " Jong, hew doubts forming within ier.

She shuddered. "I fear It Is," she wept, "and yet, should not Ha V.n,K .4111 k... holy man." A great weariness descended upon her and she fell upon her bed. She reached for the vial, but a new fear stayed her hand. "How if, when I am laid into the tomb, I wake be fore the time that Romeo come to redeem me?" She pressed her fingers to her eyes as if to shut out this tortuous imagery, but she could not. "Shall I not then be stifled in the vault to whose foul mouth no healthsome air breathes In?" she cried. But what If she awoke too soon and were not stifled? Might not the horrors of death and night to gether with the terror of thd place drive her mad? "For these many hundred years the bones of all my buried ances tors there are packed. Bloody Ty balt yet but green In earth lies fes tering In his shroud" she sprang to her feet in terror. Heaven spare her these vile fantasies'. Yet, the Image would not be vanquished. It grew and strengthened In her tor tured mind. Did not spirits resort at some hour in the night. What loathe- some smells and s h r ie k s might greet her there should she awake oefore the promised hour? "Oh," she cried from out the depths of her agony. "If I wake. shall I not be distraught?" She burled her face In her hands to ward off this waking nightmare. But through ber fingers it persisted, bringing wild visions that now be trayed her mind. Did she play mad ly with come forebear's bones? Might she not pluck the mangled Tybalt from his shroud? Would she, in this rage, dash out her desperate brains? She stifled a shriek. Her eyes rivetted themselves on the vial. "Look," she whispered. "Methlnks I see my cousin's ghost seeking out Romeo. Her hand closed swiftly ' on the vial and she raised it to her lips. "Stay, Tybalt! Stay!" she cried and fell' beck upon her bed. She drew her curtains closed and swiftly drained the vial. "Romeo," she murmured. "I come." And all that Friar Laurence promised came to pass. Soon, soon, she crossed the gulf from conscious ness to sleep. Like icy death the potion froze her veins. No pulse, no warmth, no breath betokened that she lived. So lay she through the night. So early day found her. Outside her window the noisy morning sounds proclaimed the wedding preparations. Inside the great hall Lady Capu let rounded up the serving men. "Nurse!" she called, "Fetch more ' spices " Lord Capulet, hastening into the house, interrupted her. "Nurse! Go waken Juliet. Make haste make , haste " ho gestured frantically . toward the garden. "The bride- ; groom to already come!" They looked out into the garden ' and perceived Paris and his mu- ' sicians stationing themselves be neath Juliet's balcony. Their lutes , and voices were already, sounding the bridal serenade. In breathless haste the nurse ' mounted the stairs and ran to Juli et's bedchamber. "Mistress,", aha called gaily. "Juliet!" ' , A old silence answered her. "How sound she sleeps," she said and rushed to the bed. drawing aside the curtains. ' She stared for one hnrrlflM in. stant before her piercing shriek rent the air; "My lord! My lady!" ! Lord and Lady Capulet ran into ' the room. "What noise is here?" : They looked into her frightened eyes, then followed the finger she , pointed within the curtains of the bed. "My child!" cried Lady Capulet and fell upon her knees. "She's dead. She's dead. She's -dead." "Her Lord Is come," whispered f Juliet's father dully. He looked long i upon the cold, still faoe . of hie ' child. "Death lies upon her like an li untimely frost - upon the sweetest ; -flower of an the fleM." c .'

".-n,V Jfi ' 1 SWINE RAISING : -OFFERS FARMER TV1EATAND CASH Price Trend Good; Need, Balanced Ration For Rapid, Cheap ' Gains fc . With hog prides at new highs for recent years 1 and the price outlook for fall and winter favorable, pork production offers an opportunity for southern fanners to supply their own meat and to market their feed crops profitably through pork. -"In the first half of the 1937-38 hog marketing year," says the De partment of Agriculture, "the num ber of hogs slaughtered will be smaller than in the corresponding period of 1930-37 . With., prospects fairly favorable for continuation of the present relatively strong consum er demand for meats, hog prices next fall and winter probably will aver age as high as ,or perhaps higher than in the fall and winter of 1936- 37." Require More Protein Hog production offers many ad vantages for farmers, efficiently sup plementing other types of livestock farming, requiring a relatively small investment, and producing gains more rapidly and efficiently than other classes of stock. Important, also, is the fact that pigs can be marketed at a wide range of weights, giving the feeder comparative freedom to take advantage of a good market by selling early or to feed to heavier weights for later marketing. Because of the rapid growth of swine, and of the fact that they con sume relatively little roughage, the supplying of adequate amounts of protein is of major importance in the economical feeding of hogs. Pigs need rations containing liberal pro portions of protein. Unless this is supplied, they will make slow and expensive gains. Self-Feeders Useful Self-feeders, which enable the hog to balance his own ration, save time and labor for the hog raiser. In the South, where pastures are available much of the year, the use of self- feeders on pastures or forage crops is rapidly gaining in popularity. Protein supplements in the self feeder increase both the gain and rate of gain. A half-and-half mix ture of cottonseed meal and tankage, fish meal or shrimp bran, is the standard protein supplement on many farms. The price and availability usually determines the choice of grain used in the self-feeder. Plenty of water and a mineral mixture of equal parts of ground limestone or oyster shells, bone meal and .salt, should be available at all times. ' The half-and-half mixture of cot tonseed meal and tankage, fish meal or shrimp bran is widely used, also, to supply essential protein for swine "hogging down" or "hogging , off" corn fields. A Weil-Balanced Ration Other feeders prefer to mix the grain and protein supplements, rath er than using a self-feeder. The following ration is excellent for feeding pigs from the time that they weigh about 75 pounds until ready for market at a weight of about 250 pounds. It may be fed either with green pasture or in the dry lot, and offers a wide choice of grains to be used. Shelled corn; or milo, kafir or feterita; or finely ground barley or coarsely ground wheat, 87 pounds; cottonseed meal 9 pounds; tankage 4 pounds; limestone, or oyster shell flour, bone meal or wood ashes 1 pound; salt one-half pound. When hand-fed, pigs should re ceive all of the mixture that they will clean up quickly twice daily. This may be fed dry or as slop.

Science v Battles V ft .'.1.1 NEW YORK, N. Y. As hu manitarians of two continents cheer one of the most dramatic fights medical science ever has waged to preserve a life the case of Frederick B. Snite, Jr., in fantile paralysis victim who faces seven years in an iron lung hope that the long battle for con trol of the disease may be nearing success is expressed by those en gaged in research. Aided by funds from the Presi dent's Birthday Ball Commission for Infantile Paralysis Research, Dr.. Sidney David Kramer, of the Long Island College of Medicine, reports hopeful tests for preven tion of the disease with nose sprays .conducted on monkeys. Mixed Apples Impart Tang To Sweet Oder The spicy, aromatic flavor and tang of sweet cider depends upon the varieties of apples from which the juice is passed. H. R, Niswonger, extension horti culturist at State College, has re commended the following combina tion for making appetizing, zestful cider: Sixty per cent sweet apples and a sub-acid variety like Rome Beauty; 15 per cent acid varieties like Red Winesap, Stayman, York Imperial; 10 per cent of Delicious, Golden De licious, or Bonum, which impart aro matic flavor; 5 per cent crab apple or seedling varieties to give tang; and 10 per cent Ben Davis, Black Ben, Wolf River, Limbertwig. Although cull apples can be used fcr making cider, Niswonger pointed out, they should be free from worms and rot and ripened on the trees. Early windfalls, not yet ripe and over-ripe apples should not be mix ed with those ripened on the trees. Do not leave apples piW on the ground for any appreciable length of time. All fruit should be washed thor oughly. The press and press cloths should be washed clean after each ' Only TrigMalre Rh the Hter4?tsr 1 I , Rasfe? " prices ' .
