This i3 the second time a steam engine has had to come to the rescue, as a similar break-down at Hamburg, Iowa, some weeks ego, caused it to be pulled into the car shops for some overhauling. It is a rigid schedule to maintain, especially with no change-off unit available and the necessity of making the long run each day.

The sweetest peas are luose grown in the home garden. Like many an other vegetable, peas lose much of their flavor and goodness when left too long out of ground, and are best! pickled Just before dinner-time. i lA;ere are two types of pea the smooth and the wrinkled. Gardeners, might well grow both of them, be- cause the first Is the hardiest and J may be sown early, while the wrink led is the sweetest. It should be sown when the ground is warm, and all danger of cold is past. One crop cf smooth peas for early use is enough. The wrinfcled pea has been remark ably developed by skilled plant breed ers, and there are now three types, all of the giant podded kind and of first quality. Dwarf, medium and tall wrinkled peas may be h"ml, according to your needs and likes, and each year see3 some new variety better than before. The severe tests given peas of late has made them sure growers for the home garden. Quality seeds will not always as sure quality crops, however, unless they are planted under proper con ditions for growing. A dense plant ing is too often the cause of failure, and the old-time notion that the thicker the plants the larger the crop is far from correct. You can prove the truth of this very easily by thin ning out to give each vine a chance to grow. A single row with the peas 2 inches apart is an efficient way to grow them, or double rows C inches apart with the peas 2 inches apart in the rows. Always avoid crowding the plants. Peas need a rich soil, and a gener ous application of complete plant food will pay for its cost many times. Cultivate them well and often during their growing period. They are a one crop plant and will not cause you un due work if you take care of them only when a harvest is in the offing. After they bear, pull them up, and plant something else in their stead. Plant peas at two-week intervals to provide a continuous crop. If space is a rroblem, plant the vine types and train them to a wire fence. Another good way is to plant rows 2 feet apart, and train the vines to grow cn strings slanting down from a rail set in between the rows. This rail should be set up on 6-foot poles, and may be easily constructed out of 1-inch by 2-inch lumber, driv ing the poles into the ground to keep them rigid. The strings coming down to the rows on either side will make the structure wind proof. FIVE ARE DEAD IN A FIRE Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Five persons were burned to death and seven in jured or overcome when a sudden fire destroyed three buildings in the main street of Poughkeepsie. Rosemary Seifts, a 3 year old girl, whose moth er, father, sister and brother per ished, is missing. All of the victims died in a three story combination business and apartment building in which the fire apparently started. The dead: G. Edward Seifts, 34. Mrs. Mary Seifts, 36. Joan Seifts, 1. Edward Seifts, jr., 5. Shirley Elmore, 7. Firemen said they found no trace of Rosemary Seifts. They combed the smoldering ruins and said apparent ly the five known dead were the only victims. They said the little girl probably had been taken in by neigh bors during the fire. A physical cul ture teacher, Emil Heller, who dis covered the fire and who dashed into the building, said he heard their screams, but was driven back by flame and smoke. Altho a fire station wa3 directly around the corner, the fire burned so furiously other mcmber3 of the fiv families living in the three build ings barely escaped with their lives. Two firemen were overcome. LHSSnURI RESTORES RELIEF Jefferson City, Mo. Quick legis lative action restored Missouri to the federal relief rolls within 12 hours after being cut off for delay in com plying with the federal emergency relief administration's demands that the state carry a "fair share" of the load.

Grain Stocks are Low in West ern States Last Summer's Drouth and Crop Re duction Program Combine to Empty Farm Eins. Kansas City. Grain stocks held on farms of the agricultural states west of the Mississippi river are alarm ingly low, with bumper crops in wheat, corn and oats needed this year to supply national demands and re plenish the farm bins, a survey by the United Press reveals. Last summer's drouth and the crop reduction program of the AAA are held responsible for the low stores, but mot of the blame gees to the drouth, for, as A. E. Anderson, state and federal crops statistician of Ne braska, pointed out, crops probably would have been lost year because of the drouth, even if full acreage had been planted. Figures for Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas show the following stock on farms as of April 1: Wheat, 30,691,000 bushels. Corn, 189,561,000 buchels. Oats, 75,012,000 bushels. In Kansas, greatest winter wheat state in the nation, wheat stock on farms totals 14,346,000 bushels. Thi3 i3 approximately 500,000 buhels more than a year ago, but far below the normal amount on farms at thi3 time of the year. The exceptionally short crop in 1933 caused the shortage a year ago. Of the six other states canvassed, only Nebraska and Oklahoma have more than five million bushel3 of wheat. Of the total bushels of corn still held the great majority 143,613, 000 bushels is on Iowa farms. Ne braska reported 20,028,000 bushels, which leaves but 25,830,000 bushels among the other five states. Kansas, which almost had a total corn crop failure in 1934, has but 1,625,000 bushels on hand, and about half this is needed for seed. Iowa farmers, according to Leslie M. Carl, federal statitician at Des Moines, held approximately 90 percent of their crop, compared with 71 percent the previous year. Even so, the total held was less by 147,799,000 bushels than the previous year, due to the short 1934 harvest. Some Iowa corn has been moving into Missouri this spring at a dollar a bushel. The acuteness of the corn short age is shown clearly by comparing this year's stocks with those of 1934. Kansas has 1,625,000 bushels where it had 23,967,000 in 1934; Missouri, 8,000,000 compared with 48.103,000; 110,952,000 and Arkansas 4.879.000 Nebraska 20,028,000 compared with compared with 9,115,000. JUDGE DEFERS A SENTENCE Omaha. A young wife's tearful pleading for a parole for her hus band prompted District Yeager to de fer passing sentence on George Biv ens, 26, who pleaded guilty to rob bing nine filling stations early Fri day in which he said he obtained $1.18. Bivens said he turned to robbery to carry out a deception that he was working. "The horse races took our savings," Mrs. ITTVens told the judge. "Then the races got his job. He didn't want me to know he was not working so he did this." John E. Chew, attorney, who lis tened to the young wife's plea, ask ed to help her.
