They re quire a deeply prepared, rich soil, for their best development. The seed may be sown about the time frost danger is past. Plant the seed in drills 14 to 18 inches apart and about 10 to 12 seeds to each foot of drill. Cover one-half to three-quarters of an inch, and as soon as the carrots are about two inches in heighC'thin to an even stand with the plants two to three inches apart. Where the plants are not too thick in the row, the thinning need not be done un til .some of them are large enough to use on the table as baby carrots. Late plantings of carrots may be made following" early cabbage, let tuce, or radishes. The second or late planting should mature just be fore frost and are better for storage than the earlier planting. Early spring parsnips may be grown and used the same as early carrots; but ordinarily are planted later, are given a full season to ma ture, and are used only during the winter months'. Their planting and cultivation is practically the same as for carrots. Parsnips may remain in the ground during the winter and are not injured by freezing. United States Department of Agriculture.

South Sicle SEARCH FOR HUN LANDS BELGIAN SOLDIER !N JAIL South Side Man Uses First Line Trench Methods in Grocery; Name Was t Misleading. In a fighting mood and alleged to have been somewhat , "lit up," Reraie Massian, 3630 V street, a re cently discharged Belgian soldier, veteran of a score of battles in Bel gium and France, proceeded to wreak vengeance on all those of Teutonic affiliations on the South Side Friday evening. "I'm hunting the Hun," he is said to have told friends. Being unable to distinguish be tween Germans and others, Massian was temporarily baffled. It seemed as if he would be forced to give ui his quest when he suddenly espied a sign hanging over a store reading Joe German, grocer. Dashing into the grocery he at tacked the surprised storekeeper and then proceeded to give an ex hibition of just how to "carry on" in the front line trenches. He suc ceeded so well that the place looked as if it had been struck by a high explosive shell when he , was through. Barricades Himself. When the South Side shock troops arrived upon the seen" frm the police station the veteran fight er was in sole possession of .he store. He had barricaded' himself behind the debris, but after so.ne persuasion he agreed to come out, after finding out that it was the police and not the Huns, who were after him. In 'police court Saturday morn ihg Massian was penitent after be ing told that the German whom he had attacked was not a Hun, but one of an entirely different race, an American. The "zero hour" had struck four timesfor him, he stated, and four times he had plunged over the top in mortal combat with the enemy. Shows Discharge. His honorable discharge, which he proudly displayed to court and police officials, showed that he had taken part in many engagements with the Belgians and American troops.
