BLIND AUTHOR WRITES NOVELS Napa, Nov. (U.R) — Blazing western sunsets, the coloring of the desert and hills, the varying shades of the night sky—all these are described as background for a rapidly-moving western novel just I published by Charles H. Snow, blind i author, of this city. Snow, who lost his eyesight sev- ' eral years ago, was justice of the peace of Napa township for four! years, despite his handicap. Later he acted as a newspaper correspondent, and began writing stories, a number of which were accepted. Now. he has had several books printed in England, gud two in the United States —the last a Western novel, "T he Sheriff of Christa Loma.” He does his own typing, 'using a ’ machine over whose keys he has i pasted bits of paper in ingenious i fashion to enable him to distin-I guish the various letters. The setting for most of his stories is laid in the southwest, a land I of intense color. "If I had my eyes, | I could do a little more,' ’he mod- I estly comments. o a ; COUNTY AGENT’S COLUMN »-■ * j Soy beans are comparatively a new crop in Adams County.

From now on until the leaves come out in the spring, states j County Agent Archbold, is the time ito spray for cottony maple scale, i Spraying in the summer time, that is, when the leaves are on wastes too much of the solution and injures the foliate. The spray recom- . mended by the Purdue Extension Service is a three to five per cent solution of miscible oil or an oil emulsion spray applied with a high powered sprayer with full coverage of all the bark. This spray may be applied any time when the temperature is about forty degrees F. Mr. Floyd Baxter has arranged I with the school board at Decatur |to apply the oil spray to the maple i trees on the public school grounds, jlt is our understanding that on ■ next Thursday, November 12th he will begin work on the Central ; school ground and any one interI ested in seeing the work done can i do so by going to these grounds.

The feed bill amounts to somewhere between 60 and 70 per | cent of the total cost. In no case do we want to reduce our feed bill to the point where the ration is not balanced or complete

I. —if we should, the feed used would >. be quite expensive. , s Here is a simple ration which : s has proven successful: i e jGrain Pounds * I Whole yellow corn . 500 Mash Wheat bran • 200 : Wheat middlings . 200 i ’ Meat scraps (50% protein) 100 Total mash 500 ?

MASTER AND DOG TO SERVE TERM 5 1 Columbus. 0.. —(UP) —A term in Ohhio Penitentiary was quite all right with Lady Charlene, German shepherd dog. so long as John A. Martin. heY master, was going up that way. i It was more than all right with Martin, this taking Lady along with him. Judge Stanley Struble, who had found Martin guilty of blackmail and sentenced him also expressed willingness to extend the sentence to the dog. “The animal is the best influence in the prisoner's life” said the Judge. Lady Charlene cocged her ears and nuzzled up to Martin. Decision to let the dog accent-1 pany Martin arose from his tearful ! pleas, in which he told of training i tire dog so that she responded to j s<) commands and could do a score , iof difficult memory and iutelli- j I gence tricks. "She might forget." Martin said, i j "and she belongs in the movies.” Martin said the Lady lost weight
