Experiments relating to potao scab

and possibly other root crops. catch

seed viii produce a scabby crop, and
land where a scabby crop was grown
this year will produce scabby crop
next year. Barnyard manure increases
the disease, hence, to prevent scab, plant
healthy seed on clean land and use
commercial fertilizers. If scabby seed
must be planted, first soak them an
hour and half in Is gallons of water in
which 30 ounces of corrosive sub
Innate has been dissolved. This will
cost 25 cents and will treat enough
seed for five acres. Soak seed before
cutting, and wash dirt off before soak
ing.
The sublimate is a strong poison and
corrodes metals; hence mix in wooden
vessel and exercise great care. Put the
mixture in a barrel and dip in busnel

THE REGISTRATION LAW
Registrations Will Close August Io-The Law
on the Case

There still appears to be some mis-
understanding as to the time when
the registration of voters closes; de-
spite all that has been printed on the
subject. Under the election laws as
amended by the legislature March 27,
1895, registration shall commence 16O
DAYS before general election, and shall
continue for seventy-five days thence
next ensuing. when such registration
shall cease; provided that any elector
who has registered, and thereafter
moved his residence to another pre-
cinct in the same county, thirty days
before an election, may have his reg
istration transferred to such other pre-
cinct upon his application, verified by
oath, setting forth the change of res
idence and containing the other facts
required by original registration"
This year the 160th day before gen.
eral election falls on Sunday, August
9th. County Clerk Newlin ruled that
this being the case, registration should
close on Monday August 10th. Some
county clerks held that it should close on
Saturday, the Sth. In Los Angeles
county, at least, it will close on the 10TH
Mr. Newlin having taken legal advice
which confirms his first ruling.
Up to date there have been 1926
registrations in the city and 12,025 in

pected that the total registration will

The class in Messianic prophecy by
Prof DorlAnd, considered the subject OF
Universal Religion.
This idea was the outgrowth OF
long line of teaching by the prophets.
The original conception was that the
tribe of Judah alone constituted the
kingdom of God. This idea was en-
larged by the prophet Amos to include
all the countries that had been under
the dominion of King Daniel. Micah
enlarged the idea to include all the
neighboring nations. Isaiah said that
Egypt and Assyria should also worship
Jehovah in Jerusalem. Again the idea
was enlarged to include all the GEN

tion of one universal religion for all the

A great deal of excitement was occa-
stoned in the southwestern portion of the
city last evening by the antics of de-
lirious colored man named John Sellers,
and before he finally landed in the re-
ceiving hospital he had the whole pop
ulace from Figueroa and Adams street
clear to the police station out on the
streets to see what the trouble was.
Late in the afternoon Sellers went to
DR.. Durant, a dentist on West Adams
street, to have tooth extracted. The
dentist gave him a grain of cocaine to
ease the pain of the operation, and soon
had the offending molar out. When this
had been done Sellers asked if he could
not have a little more cocaine, but 1t was
refused him. Remarking that he felt
a tritle queer he stepped out on the
porch to get some air, and suddenly went
crazy.
Down Adams to Figueroa he
ran, shouting and screaming that he was
poisoned, striking and kicking at any
one he CHANGED to meet. Hurry calls for
the patrol wagon and police to arrest
a crazy negro poured into the station
from Adams and Figueroa, Washington
and Pico and Figueroa following Sell

On Broadway he espied Bob Stewart.

was poisoned. With the assistance of

damage. He fought every step of the
