Today, il is expected, the asphalt
repair matter will be brought to a
head. The Barber Asphalt company
will ask the controller to sign the con-
tract; the controller will refuse and
then the Barber company will go into
court for "a writ of mandamus to COM
pei him to sign it.
When the matter gets into court the
question to be adjudicated will be
whether or not Mayor Bailey's veto
of the asphalt repair item in the ap-
preparation ordinance is legal. The
company takes the stand that the veto
is not effective as it was not returned
to councils for review and as the
item has stood fifteen days without
having being regularly vetoed it has
become operative.
City Controller Howell does not state
positively that he will not sign the
contract, but leaves it to be inferred
that he will not. He simply wants
to protect himself and would feel cas-
Ter If he had an order of court to go
by.
That the asphalt company is very
confident of being right in this matter
is attested by the fact that it has
thoroughly renovated its plant and
made other expensive arrangements
for beginning work.
Manager West stated yesterday that
If there are no hindrances from outside,
the company will begin work on Nav
l.. Lackawanna avenue will be first

THE YOUNG BOYS.
Nicholas Young and Arthur Young,
two Carbondale boys whose mental
condition is not the best. and who have
a decided inclination for law breaking,
were arraigned for striking their moth

have about as poor an intellect as her
unfortunate sons. Judge Edwards has
frequently had the Young boys before
him and is at a loss as to what is the
best method to pursue with reference
To them.
He asked Mrs. Young If she would
not like 10 give her boys another
chance but she very sharply replied
that she would do nothing of the kind.
The case went to trial and the boys
were convicted and sentenced by Judge
Edwards to pay fines of ST and costs.

felt yon could not have flowers make
MP your mind now that you Will have
some flowers this sprlng-not neces-
sarily q great lot that will be neglected
but get n few choice p~erennlals, some
SNOWY ANIMALS and n few nice plarts
for the windows. Invite the wife or
daughters to help you do the planning
and we assure you yOu will be amply
repaid for the time and money ex-
pended, in the satisfaction and pleas
ore obtained, to say nothing Of the
enhanced money value Of the farm or
home lot.
In planning aim to have a stretch Of
green between the road and the house
or fence which should be the back,

of this q row. of bushes or tall PLANTS
a. tho background of, your picture,
then the low plants and snowy an
nuals in front ofthis. Or if you pre-
fer have the snowy ones at the side Of
the house and q little back Of n line
even with the point of it.
Another plan is to have narrow Dor
ders along the walk or walks leading
to the house. 1t is notbcst TO cut tle
lawn or even the small bit Of green
You may have i'll front Of the house,
all up with flower beds or to fill il: full
Of trees or bushes. 4 small clump of
trees here andtherc at the side Of or
massed in q line with the house will
have q better effect than to have TIE
house wholly hidden-but do not re-
frain from getting the plants and
flowers because you can not spend
time or have not the surroundings
that will permit yon to lay out grounds
as you would like-better beauty
and brightness without symmetry
than no brightness ut all. Have

and plan for them n~ow.-Farm, Field
