{MERICAN OFFICER | DECORATED BY KING Xumanian Ruler Recognizes Pop- | nlar Hero From Nome, Alaska | i Paris uly 12.—Colonel Joseph | | Soyle, an American from Nome, Uaska, has become the popular hero f Rumania, and wears the highest tumanian decoration within the gif f the King for saving a number of deputies fram certain exile and pro- able death at the hands of the Rus- ian Bolsheviki. The story is told by ravelers reaching ce from Jassy , he emporary Rumanian captal. Soon after the Russian Bosheviki Hff relations with Rumania last as the result of alleged anti- activities on the part of nian Deputies, several of were arrested at Odessa, to exile to >hastopol , placed on board a ship ta be eported. None of them knew what jis fate might be, and every one was lonvinced that he would never see heir native country again Colonel Boyle pleaded in their be- lalf with the Bolshevist leaders and nsisted upon their innocence. The Bolshevist authorities were deaf to his \ppeals and would not revoke the entence of exile. Colonel Bovle then eclared that if the Rumanian De les were deported he would share heir fate. A special steamer con- jeved the Deputies and Colonel Boyle b Sebastopol, where, after a stay of everal days, during which the party mffered many hardships, Colonel 3oyle finally convinced the Russians hat the Rumanians were innocent, ind all were released. The Colonel took them back to ddessa by the steamer on which they vere deported to Sebastopol and ac- jompanied them to Jassy, where he vas enthusiastically received by the yeople and the Government. King Yerdinand awarded him the Crown jf Rumania, the highest Rumanian lecoration. Colonel Boyle is six feet tall, Tug- red, and broad-shouldered.

Under favorable onditions, it destroys the entire sotato crop. At the present time we here in Connecticut cannot afford to take any thances. The value of food to the world in genmeral and the important jart that the potato is playing in our ht to outlast the forces of the Hun s well known. Farmers and garden- rs have responded as true Ame hould by planting potatoes in ntities. See to it the 3 naturity and are not destroyed by ither insects or diseases Late blight is practically sure secur-each year in New E nd and tew York, and makes its appearance oon after the plants blossom, grad- lally increasing until by the end of he season the damage is severe. The first signs of blight are purplish ir brownish black spots found on the eaves. Later the stems are attacked nd under conditions favorable to the light it requires but a few days for he plant to be destroyed. Whole lelds may be killed in a short time. NMhere plants are destroyed by blight, he potato itself becomes infected, the pores washing down through the soil, hus causing loss. The disease does not occur in the wil, but is carried over from ion to another in the potato \lways avold planting seed which hows signs of dry rot as there is no nethod known whereby d pots nay be treated to prevent late blight. e disease spreads rapidly over large and may be carried many miles. te blight probably ses severe mount of damage in one or two of | he remaining year: It is sure to levelop if f warm muggy | Spraying moisture and warmth for its develop- | ments. ¥ particular attention to | anted on low or clay soils is one and only one method | for controlling late blight, and the | most satisfactory feature of this plants in | method is that it is sure and if proper- [stroyed.

S. Department Some Advice 1O Make No Charge = I don’t object to men spending money, but I do object to their spend- ing it foolishly. Take the money you save when you get Connorized and buy Liberty Bonds, W. S. S.; give it to the K. of C. or Red Cross; go to the movies, the baseball game, the beach, or give it to the butcher, baker or “candle- stick maker,” but take my advice, don’t waste it. The money you earn you are en- titled to enjoy. It deesn’t come so easy that you can afford to fritter it away. Get Connorized — be well dressed—swell dressed — and the money saved will bring you happiness. And take it from me, friend, Hap- piness is something you can’t get too much of in this life.
