A minute later he gotup and fol-

Greensmith pushed the shutter soft-

the room. A rich odor of fried bacon

His wandering gaze fell on the pile

was the heading,
half -consciously he ran his eyes
down the lines of print. The pamphlet
was one long string of filthy abuse of
the King, the State, and the Army.
It was an incitement to sedition, mut-
iny, and murder. In short, it was
Bolshevism!
The blood arose to Greensmith's

1 Greensmith drew himself up, and
there was no fear in the look he turn-
ed on Loney.
1 "You'll take me to the Governor,"
he said, •sharply.
1 Leney's jaw dropped, but be recov-
ered himself quickly.
"Olt, I'll take you to the Governor,
,right enough," he snarled. "I'll take
you to hint when I've done with you,"
"That is no way to sneak to a pris-
oner," came a cold voice at Leney's
shoulder, and the warder wheeled to
see Colonel Peyton regarding him
sternly.
Before the dismayed Loney could
find -words, Greensmith spoke.
"I carne back of my own hecord,
sir," he seed quietly. "The sentry can
tell you that. I have something to say
to you, privately, sir."
The Governor gazed piercingly at
the convict for a second or two. The
change in the man's demeanor et •aek
him as almost miractt]ous.
"Come!" he said. curtly, and led the
way into his own house.
"Wel], if this ain't a rum g014,' tab-!

Here's a neat little cost-of-nrodue-e
than fart from the Animal Husbandry'
Division: Lice a<Id a cent a potmcl to
the cost of producing pork; that is, it!
costs $4 more to produce a lousy 400 -
pound hog than to raise one of the'
same size free of these parasites. This
is the way they found it out:
They took 24 lousy ]togs and divided
therm ,into two lots as nearly equal as'1
to quality of animals as possible, The
two tote were fed and cared for identi-
cally the sante, except that one was
treated to prevent lice. -At the end of
the fattening period it was 10011d that
the pork put on by the lousy animals
cast a cent more for every pound than
that added by the pen free front
"cooties." And keeping hogs free'
from lice is not an expensive opera

Bacteria That Make Iron Ore.
The most imaginative among las
would hardly suspect that bugs are
responsible, le least in part, for the
conhnon flatiron and other useful ar-
ticles made from the sanle•ntotal. Yet
Huropean physicists Itayo known for
some time that there are "iron -ere
bacteria," an;d the fact is now com-
monly accepted in America.
Iron bacteria live in either standing
or running clear waters that contain
iron compounds; not In turbid waters
and those containing tench orga,lo
matter. 50 active are they i11 estab-
lishing deposits of ferric hydroxide
that water pipes of cities whore the
water contains ferrous carbonate have
been )shown to be Completely closed
by them.
Sheaths of dead Iron bacteria have
been found in multitudes in lintonite
deposits, and enormeas deposits or
several kinds of irony ore aro ]brown to
result from t11e11' worst Yet we know
little about then. They may even be
at the very threshold of life. •
It is interesting, however, to note
that the greatest deposits of iron ore
in the world that are beteg missed are
in the arctic and subarctic rogioes, or
In sones where nearly halt the year is
winter, as in the T aloe Superior coma
try. The greater connuorelal activity
in the colder regions may partly ac-
count for this, for there are extensive
iron ore ferniattons in the tropics and
subttopies, i;ut the fact remains that
iron bacterin live h1 pure water and
that in the colder regions water is
most likely to bo pure.
Although iron bacteria foo manly-
faetnrlug new deposits all the time,
this is not of greet importance es far
