 box that will hold pound of candy. Cut from pale rose shade of crape tis- | sue paper strips the exact size of the
 sides of the box, both outside and in- l side, a long continuous strip for each
 one, which meet at the top of tho sides. They are pasted to the box lightly at different spots. joining them at one of | the back corners. For tho cover cut three triangular pieces of cardboard, two of
 them. a and b. sufficiently long for the apex to reach to the opposite sides, tho third. c, to fold over the other two as
 the outside cover. the apex to reach just outside of the box.
 Cut Q strip of tho crape tissue paper 1A inches wide, pull 1t out to form a
 ruffle on one edge by drawing between the thumb and forefnger and paste the other edge around the three sides of each triangle. Then cut triangular pieces from the paper to cover both sides of each triangle, which must fit them ex-
 actly when pasted in position, tho frill on the edge coming between. Cut three
 small holes ill one side of each triangle where it is joined to the cover. with
 corresponding holes in the top of three l sides of the box, and attach tho covers
 to the box by means of crape paper rib
 bons, which are passed through the holes and tied on the outside in dainty little bows. These ribbons arc
 made by cutting narrow strips a quarter

WON'T ENFORCE LAW.
Governor Morrill, Will Not Shut
Up Saloons
BECAUSE IT MAKES "DISSENSION. =

Says 1t rs Impossible to Enforce the
Law in AtchisOn and Some Other
Localities.
In an interview with Mr.. F. L. Vande-
grift the Topeka correspondent of the
Kansas City Star, Governor Morrill, has
given to the public his first utterances on
the question of prohibition since he was
inaugurated.
Last Sunday DR.. E. H. Brumbaugh
pastor of the leading Methodist church
at Atchison, preached a sensational SER
mon taking for his subject "lf Christ
Came to Atchison."
Dr. Brumbaugh said that if Christ
came to prohibition Kansas he would
find that the prohibitory law is failure
and a farce. Not only in Atchison, but
in every other city in the state it is the
same story. The officers would not en-
force the law, and the pulpit was tired of
its effort to compel them to.
Governor Morrill, gave Mr.. Vandsgrift
of the Star his reply to DR.. Brum baugh,
which was copied from the Star in this
mornings Capital as original matter.
Governor Morrill, said:
"Mr. Brumbaugh makes a statement
here that he cannot prove. l deny that
prohibition is failnre in every city in
the state. ! will say more than that
that joints are open in but three cities
in Kansas-Atchison, Leavenworth and
Wichita, and in the latter they are not
very wide open.
"In Kansas City, Fort Scott and To-
peka the police commissioners have
stamped out the traffic, and in other To-
calities l hear of no trouble. If Mr..
Brumbaugh can succeed in educating
public sentiment in Atchison to the
prohibition idea, the law will be enforced
there, too; also in Leavenworth and
Wichita. l am willing to face a condi-
ton and to admit what my predecessors
have not had the courage to do, and that
is that the law cannot be enforced where
local public sentiment is against it. We
cannot deny facts; and it is a fact, and
Mr.. Brumbaugh knows it, that the pro-
hibitory law under present local condi-
tons cannot be strictly enforced in Atch-
ison.
POSSIBLY it might be done for few
weeks, but the community would be
plunged into a quarrel that would be OF
infinitely more injury to the city's well
fare than the few saloons that are run.

GERMAN CLOVER AS APREPARA-
TION FOR THE CORN CROP.

A few days ago we visited the farm
of Mr.. Thistin, in Chesterfield county,
and there saw one of the finest crops
of highland corn we have ever seen. 1t
is growing on land that five years ago
would not produce nubbin of corn to
the acre. This crop of twelve acres
average ten feet in height, with stalks
as thick as the wrist, and is growing
in rows three feet apart and not more
than fifteen inches apart in the row.
Many stalks have two ears, apd~w6
saw some with threeand four. The
prime tactG3rr f6 raising the land to the
State of fertility necessary to produce
has been German clover plowed down.
Part of the crop is growing on land to
which about 300 pounds of bone and
nauriate of potash to the acre has been
applied and part is growing where
nothing but German clover has been
plowed down. There is no difference
in the size of the corn or it's production
of ears on the two plots, but that where
the bone and potash has been applied
seems to be burning somewhat near
the ground, whilst that on the plot
where the clover was plowed down is
rich dark green from tassel to root.
No stronger proof could be adduced of
the value of German clover as an i'm
proven of land and as preparation
for corn. SOW German clover this
month wherever you can. Il will pay.

AGRICULTURE.

If the farmer is out of debt he is
much better off than the merchant and
manufacturer who are in debt. There
is comfort in that thought.
Natural June color is the color de-
sired the year round, but new made
butter is also desired. Hence, if one
cannot get the proper color by feeding,
how else can it be obtained except by
coloring?
Experts on crop returns estimate
that the spring wheat yield Of the
Northwest will be the largest on rec
ord. A yield of 10, coo, 600 to 175, 600,
900 bushels is predicted in the Dakotas
and Minnesota.
Eggs should have advanced more,
but receipts have been fairly good, de
mand moderate, and the weather un-
favorable for good quality, hence the
continued low prices. There is a scar
city Of prime stock, however.
1t is reportC d that the German pota-
to crop will probably be failure, ow-
ing to the continued rains. Prospects
Of blight are already setting in. Ow-
ing to the immense size OF the crop, it's
failure would cause large increase in
the imports of other foods from the
United States.
Every acre Of corn fodder used on
the farm will release at least two tons
Of hay for market. II Is worth. there
fore, what the two tons of hay will
bring in market. The short c.on and
high price of hay will force attention
to the enormous waste of stock food
and cause more corn fodder to be used
on the farm this year than ever before
When tomatoes were first introduced
they we're rough shaped, and wnen Gu
into were seedy and full of juice rather
than pulp. The first efforts at in
prOvement were directed to increasing
their earliness in ripening. Later thar
this a smooth surface AMI a mea5y
pulp were successfully sought for. The
amount of seed in some Of the --latest
varieties is very small, and the fruit
can be cut into almost like a piece o.
liver. These pulpy sorts are much the
best for canning, and as some of then
are smm0th in surface and are reason
aoly early they will probably entirely
supersede the very early and rough
shaped varieties.
