TAKE IT OUT OF TIE CITY

ia h Il II OUT OF TIE CITY.
The argument now being used by the
South Washington people against the estab-
fishing of a garba ge crematory in that sec
ton Will apply to all other parts of the city.
1t is, in fact. question that should be
settled by locating the crematory in the Dis
trict outside the city where none of the prin-
cipal streets shall be rendered uninbabitable
by thecontnuousp passing ofgarbag ewsguns.
If no other locality is available the point
where Patsy Mann's rendering establish
ment now sends forth its malodorous fumes
might be used for the crematory.
Property owners have a just right TO OBJ
ject to the locating of garbage plant where
their interests are injured, and the law
should sustain their objection when
sites can be selected where no such
detriment occurs. There are places
in the District which could be reached by
the garbage wagons without offending so
many people as will be affected in South
Washington should the crematory be To-
Gated there, and in the name of reason one
of them should be selected
II may pe poSslIhe lHdt Uiie question OF
expense in hauling controls the selection OF
a site in the city. If so no one would object.
If the amount specified in the contract we're
increased to cover the additional cost of
carrying the garbage to a more acceptable
locality, and that reason for erecting the
crematory in the city should not be con-
sidered for a moment As matter of
justice the proposition to establish the gar
bage plant in South Washington should be
abandoned, and it sEsuld be placed On
Patsy Mann's point or in some other equally
less Questionable locality.

to obtain an agsence with Japanese Of
ficials for the purpose of presenting their
claims as applicants to supply Japan's de-
mand-for naval and army supplies.
1t is said that Japan affects ignorance of
our great ship building and manufacturing
establishments; tat she does not believe
us capable of competing with Europe in
military and naval equipments. A reason
for this misrepresentation rests in the decay
of our merchant marine and the small
attention we pay to naval affairs, but the
expenditure of a little money in iuvesti-
eating our resources and ability as ship
builders and manufacturers of arms might
be profitable Investment TO Japan, now
that she is about to expand her naval and
military systems.
This is due to the United States, mas
much as Japan has never had a more
steadfast friend than this country. In
her progress as a nation she has always
had our counsel, ard in her wars and in
ternal troubles American sympathy has
given her substantial aid and support. For
that reason Japan should not be toploity
in her sudden prosperity, for the time may
come sooner than she expects when the
advice and friendship of this country will
again be needed.

1t is gratifying to note that the Columbia
Athletic Club has found a way out of its
financial troubles and viii again take its
place among local sporting organizations.
Its membership is among the most popular
of our citizens, and in its function of at
fording exercise ard healthful amusement
it has been of great service to this commu-
nifty. The stringency Of the times has been
mainly responsible for the troubles which
beset this favorite athletic ASSOCIATE ton.
Arrangements were made last night to
meet all future payments, and the future
of the club is bright with promise.

the police believe differently.
After the assault, il has been learned.

The Circulation of the Star Is FAILING
Off-The Public Knows Its Friend.
The aggregate circulation of the Star last
week was 10, AT. That of The Times was
213,165, which shows a circulation OF
42,6SS more than the Star. Whether or not
this increase is due to the snarling OF fiste
dog weekly publications which ''some one
has set at the heels of The Times would be
difficult 10 determine, but that isquite nat
raj inference.
The Times is decidedly the best daily in
Washington, and the more advertising 1t
secures the greater will be its circulation.

by destinations and monkey paw abuse, but
when the object of such attacks is really
deserving there can be but one rcsult-an

The following has been described az
a very efectual way of converting a
wagon Or carriage into a vehicle that

pieces of hard wood board are used for

feet long and six inches wide, and dress
off the corners for runners, precisely as
If going to make a boys board-runner

one wheel of the vehicle is raised two
inches from the floor or ground. and
these two b~oard-runners bolted with
three carriage bolts to the lowest spot
on the rim of the wheel, one board
runner being on each side of the rim.
Use carriage bolts about three and a
half inches long by three-eighths
square at the head. One bolt is put
through SO as to rest on the upper side
of the rim, while two other bolts pass
through below the rim, near the ends
Of the board-runners, close to the out
side of the wheel. Two board-runners
are bolted in the same to each
wheel. A small scantling Or stick is
then secured back of the hindmost
springs between two spokes of each
hind wheel, to prevent the wheels turn
ing around. The fore wheels are fast
ened with a similar piece of timber,
about two inches square.-Fa~merx

Fruit growing in the vest is nc. long.

fact, as was clearly demonstrated at
our great exposition in Chicago. But
to grow a successful orchard in the

careful management. The amateur
without education along the inc OF
horticulture, or experience, would be
as likely to make q failure IN trule

should be understood: Selection OF sol1'

plant and cultivate.
First, we would consider the selec-

The location should be on tic higl-

air drainage to lessen the danger from
frost in the blossoming period, and as"

slope west of the divide in the Mis-

by fruit men and planted to fruit. But
I cannot urge the selection OF good,
rich, dry soils too much for fruit lands.
At the exposition we made it a strong
point to ascertain where all the best
specimens Of fruit grew in Iowa and
other states, and we invariably found
that they grew on high, dry, rich soils.
But I am aware that many cannot Sc.
