The petition created some merriment,

Mr. Hubbard argued for the change OF
bookkeeping from a regular study to
an elective, in the qualifications for en-

motion that bookkeeping be made an
elective study,
Colonel Miller opposed the motion. He
said that many pupils in the public
schools would never attend the high

BILE study, he wanted It retained in the
regular course.
Mr.. Buchanan concurred in Colonel
Niller's opinion. What knowledge OF
bookkeeping he had was acquired In the

County Commissioners.
An Intelligencer reporter interviewed
the members of the Marshall county
court in regard to On article that ap-
peared in yesterdays Register in regard
to the county court Issuing liquor
licenses. They say the article is false
in every particular; that they never or
dered the Benwuod or any other saloon
keepers to apply for licenses, and that
there was no APPLICATIONS for licenses re-
ceived Tuesday or any other day during
this session OF the court. This court has
placed itself on record as "no-hcense"
court and It isn't believed that the mem
bers have changed their minds In regard
to this question.
1t IS understood that the saloon keepers
of Benwood intend to make application
for license before court adjourns, which
will not be for several days. II the APP
plicaHon Is made there will likely be q
hot fight put up by both sides which will
bring the question before the court In all
its phases.
The court finished settling with the

M astering the Weeds.

The worst weeds farmers have to
contend with are the Canada thistle,
quack grass and others of like nature.
They start with only few plants, but
spread very rapidly, and if left to them
selves will soon become SO thick that
nothing else can grow. Still, very lit
tie work at the right time will destroy
them. Farmers should not become care
less or they will cover the entire farm.
This is the idea Of Prairie Farmer
correspondent. who also says: The best
way to kill Canada thistles when there
are only few plants is to dig small
hole around the stem of the thistles and
fill it with strong salt brine, then pull
the thistle up. This must be repeated
as often as any thistles appear above the
ground. A little watcbfulness is neces-
sary. If there are too many to be treat
ed in the above manner, they can be cut
with sharp hoe just beneath the sur
face. This must also be repeated often
as they appear. In pasture lots they can
very easily be killed by sailing the cat
tie on the spots where the thistles are

WATERMEuONS.

A Plain Statement of the Principal Points
In Successful Culture.
The literature of the watermelon is
extremely scanty. 1t cannot be, how
ever. that no one needs information on
the production of this luscious fruit.
The following is therefore not only in
teresting, but, coming as it does from
the Georgia experiment station, may be
considered authoritative. The items are
from a summary of bulletin on the
watermelon:
Soil and LOcation.-A warm, light.
| sandy loan, we'll drained, is the melon g
delight. The watermelon is much more
exacting in this particular than the
muskmelon.
Rotation. This is all Important
Under no circumstances should melons
follow melons, and at least four seasons
should intervene before the land is again
devoted to this crop.
Preparation.-It should be thorough,
but not necessarily deep, as the roots of
the melon are surface feeders. Complete
pulverization is necessary. One break
ing and two effective harrowings with
"cutaway' or even smoothing"
harrow generally prove sufficient It is
always desirable that crop of cowpeas
should precede melons.
Distance. The richer the soil the
greater should be the distance apart of
the hills; IL by IL, - by 10 or 10 by
10 are the usual distances employed.
Fertilization. Fertilizers should be
applied in the drill and bedded on, not
concentrated in, the hill. Aside from
stable manure, the best (commerciaD
fertilizer is a compound of 400 pounds
nitrate of soda, 800 pounds acid phos-
plate and 200 pounds muriate Cor sui
phate) of potash. Use at the rate of 100 |
pounds and upward per acre. An extra
pinch of nitrate of soda to each hill, |
just after the plants have appeared, will |
give them q good "send off. -
Planting.-It should be done by hand
and should be shallow. Plenty of seed |
and each seed pushed down not deeper
than an inch with the forefinger. A
shoe dab" of moist dirt to the hill |
after planting, knocked off before sprout-
Ing, will hasten termination in very dry
weather.
Cultivation.-Afterth the plants are up
they should be thinned down to three
or four to the hill and afterward to one
or at most two vines. Cultivation should
be shallow-with cultivator or scrape.
Vines should never be turned, nor
should the crop be plowed during the
early forenoon. When it becomes neces-
sary to turn vines to get the plow
through, cultivation should cease. A
thin broadcasting Of cowpeas at last
is advisable to prevent
winds from tumbling and rolling the
vines.

:nan's suit, that their very MOD
esty and plainness; unassumlng,
yet speaking volumes of poss1b1l-
ties of achievement, were very
captivating and pleasing.
We would not try to detract
from the Carpenters and Joiners
they too were neat in appearance
and were the recipients Of many
admiring glances, as were the
members of the Typo graphical
Union; but it was the simplicity
Of the Bricklayers and Pain tiers
which attracted the unusual at
tention.
OF course none could compare
with the carriage of dainty little
Misses which represented the
Shreveport Typographical Union.
These looked sweet and lovely
enough to kiss, and our editor
would have done it too, but he
was afraid. He observed also his
old friend-young in years how
ever. Master Emile Hutchens, who
waved high the banner of the
knights of the Stick and Rule.
The Painters and Decorators
made better showing than we
had suspected. There are more of
them than We thought, and a
manly set they are too.
But we will have to stop this
line of thought. Friendship cuts a
considerable figure, even among
newspaper reporters, and we fire.
quently find it hard to keep from
discriminating in favor of friends.
And we had SO many friends in
that parade; among the brick
layers, painters and all classes
that we might appear to be dis
eliminating, were we to go on call
ing avocations. IL
It was a triumphal entry of La
Dor into Shreveport and was hon.
ored as it should have been. The
city turned out to do proper cour-
tesy, and did so.
This was the initial movement
and was SO successful that future |
efforts will be no longer specula-

labor, and bids the movement

kEYSoR'S STOLEN SHEEP.
The Men Arrested al Sandy Safely Landed in
Pocatelo,

Pocatello Tribune: Sheriff O'Maliey
returned yesterday morning from Salt
Lake City, having arrested at Sandy,
u lbttle village south of that place,
Jesse Aylett and A. II. Parks, who are
charged with having embezzled from
Aaron Keyser of Salt Lake City 1850
sheep. He was armed with the neces-
sary papers for the requisition of his
prisoners and brought Aylett back with
him. Parks gave bonds and was left
in Salt Lake City, but will appear
when the hearing comes Off.
Mr.. Keyser filed his complaint, by
his attorneys, Reeves & Tschudy. In
the probate court here months ago.
He sets out that Aylett and Parks have
been leasing sheep from him for five or
six years past and that they have
ranged them principally in Bannock
county, Idaho. He further alleges that
last spring these gentlemen were away
shy in sheep when they checked UP and
they alleged that they had lost them by
reason OF the hard winter. This he
says is n mistake and charges that
they shipped the missing sheep to
market, principally from Soda Springs,
and put the proceeds of their sale In
their pockets.
The hearing OF the cases was today
set for April 26th. 1t Is understood that
Arthur Brown Of Salt Lake will defend
Parks and Aylett and a hard fought
case may be expected.
