Columbus Hospital Bill Advanced
Terre Haute Charter Measure
Passed Unanimously.

From the last word of the opening prayer
in the House yesterday morning until the
gavel fell at 1920, committee reports were
under consideration. The opening prayer
was by Rev. Mr.. Lucas, of this city The
first bill reported was the new charter for
Terre Haute, which was recommended for
passage by the judiciary committee. Mr..
Whitcomb, Of this city, moved to pass it
under suspension of the rules, and the
motion was Endorsed by Mr.. Eichhorn.
There was no opposition and the bill re-
ceived rs votes
Mr. Meals bill to require railroad compa-
MES to sell mileage books for 800 miles at
$40 was reported favorably by the commit
tees on rights and privileges. Mr.. Neal ex-
planned that the bill is in the nature of
compromise, so as to bring the 2-cent fare
within the reach of the poor men who could
not afford to pay so for a, mileage book.
His bill also provides that the book shall be
good for use by any member Of the pur-
chaser'S family. Mr. Neal moved that the
rules be suspended and that the bill be ad-
vanced to second reading at once. This was
done and Mr.. Clark. chairman of the com
mittee on railroads, seconded by Mr..
Murphy, of this city, moved to kill the bill
by striking out the enacting clause. Mr..
Clark fought the bill vigorously, but Mr..
Manifold moved to table the motion to kill,
and this was done by a vote of 81 to II.
Those who voted against tablng were
Baker of Whitley, Beardsley, Clark, Galley,
Glossbrenner, Hall, Huff, King, Lawrence,
Louttit, Murphy of Marion. Reese, Roose,
Schrader, Strong, Whitcomb of Vigo and
Littleton. Mr.. Beardsey tried to have the
bill amended so as to limit it's use to the
purchaser, but the House sat down on this
proposition and the bill was ordered to en-
grossment.
The committee on railroads recommended
that Mr.. Caraway's bill to require alarm
bells at railroad crossings be indefinitely
postponed. To this Mr.. Caraway objected
strenuously and again Mr.. Clark was COM
PEELED to stand up for the report of the
committee. BY vote of AZ to 81 the report
was concurred in. Mr. Clark had another
fight on his hands on the report Of the bill
by Mr.. Huff to require railroads to keep
fiagmen at crossings. The minority of the
committee recommended the passage of the
bill, but in the end this report disap
proved by SO ayes to A noes and the major
ity report to indefinitely postpone was con-
CURED in.

c. f. SMITH FOR 1T.

Mr.. c. +. Smith was the only man to
raise his voice for the amendment, and he
thought the Cold Storage Company should
have put up its buildings with this change
in view, as it was talked about at the time.
In his opinion. there was no time to make
the change like the present. New buildings
will go up to take the places of those torn
down, and he thought the large number Of
people 10 be benefited should be considered
William KOthe opposed the amendment
He said that the ease of access to the freight
stations is thousands of dollars benefit TO all
wholesale houses in the city and particularly
to the wholesale groCers. IL the freight sta
tons should be moved out 1t would not only
increase the cost of shipment as regards
drayage. but it would mean Il serious loss in
other ways. He said that one secret of the
success OF this city from a mercantile point
can be filled and that is we'll known. From
that knowledge orders come here which
otherwise would naturally go to other cities
He referred to the competition from Louis
Vile Cincinnati. Columbus, O., Dayton, To-
Iedo, Cleveland Detroit, Chicago, Evans
vile, Terre Haute and st. Louis and said
that, surrounded as indianapolis is by other
cities working for trade here, nothing should
be done 10 intre the mercantile prosperity
of the city The competition is so fierce,

s. s. S. FOR THE BLOOD
LOSSES FROM WEEDS.
They Always Cause n Shrinkage of
the Crop Among Which They
Are Allowed to Grow.

It would be difficult for most farmers
to calculate how great is the loss from
the prevalence of weeds in crops. In a
season when dry weather prevails these
losses are comparatively small, though
| even then the weeds take water from
the soil which is not all returned when
they are uprooted and buried in it. The
weed that is buried is surrounded by air
spaces, keeping the soil more porous
than it otherwise would be, and there
fore drying it out faster. The case is
still worse as regards the fertility that
the weed has taken. 1t was originally
entirely soluble, but the weed has to
ferment and be resolved into vegetable
mold before it can be put in the same
soluble condition. Yet we have known
farmers to delay cultivation of hoed
crops so as to have more grass and
weeds to be plowed under.
1t is often said that weeds are pre-
ventive of good farming; that there
would be much less cultivation OF hoed
crops if it were not that the growth of
weeds made it necessary. Yet where
the cultivator is kept going all through
the season so often as to prevent any
weed from reaching the surface, the
weed killed as quickly as it sprouted
has done the soil more good and less
harm than it could do at any suisse
quent stage of its growth. At this ear
" period, about all the plant substance
has been directly furnished from the
swelling and decomposition of the seed
in termination. At this time the car
bonic acid gas which the seed gives off
when it terminates makes its plant
food more soluble than it ever can be
after the plant puts forth roots and be-
gins to draw from the soil. Finely pow
dered malt has been used as fertilizer
When it has been applied in contact
with seed grain OF any kind, it has pro-
duced remarkable results, though it is
too expensive a fertilizer to be used on
a very large scale. But the ordinary
weed seed is much smaller and has far
less fertilizing material in it than has
grain of barley.
1t is the popularity of most weeds
that most of their growth is taken di-
rectly from the soil, and that both it
and the moisture to make the plant food
soluble are needed by growing crops.
Each days growth of a weed among
hoed crops lessons the yield. If the
weed is left until late, its roots will be
so intermingled with those of valuable
crops that one cannot be destroyed
without uprooting the other. A little
care in destroying the weeds while
small. will save much labor later, besides
the Inevitable shrinkage Of the crop
among which the weeds have been al
lowed to grow.-American Cultivator.

NEWFOUNDLAND CARIBOU.
Animals Are SO Plenty There the
Shooting License Has
Been Reduced.

The Newfoundland legislature has
Just passed an act which will be hailed
with satisfaction by American sports
men. By it the hunting grounds OF
the island will be thrown open to men
of moderate means and limited holiday
time. Heretofore the fee exacted by
the colonial authorities for permission
to shoot caribou has been 500 for seven
head-fve stays and two does. For this
there has been substituted graded Ii
cense, as follows: For $40 license is
granted, good for one month, permit
ting the holder to kill two stays and one
doe; for $50 the number is increased to
three stays and one doe, and the period
is extended to six weeks; while for $50
two months license is obtainable, with
the right to kill five stays and two does.
The Devastating season opens on
July Is and continues until October l,
when there is an interval of 20 days.
Shooting is resumed on October 20 and
continues until February 1, from which
time until the middle of July close
season Is observed. The caribou are
to be found in the vast tracts of in
terror forest and the uplands known
as "barrens," untrodden except by the
occasional hunter The deer are in
countless herds, and those in the col
ony who have most closely observed
their habits say that with proper safe
guards against wanton killing there is
no reason why they should not con-
tinue to provide the finest sport for
the hunters of Europe and America
when every other accessible hunting
ground has been depleted. 1t must be
remembered that the 100000 people
who inhabit Newfoundland live round
its coastline and that three miles from
high water mark there is. not settle
ment. The rest of the $4,000 square
miles of the island is given up to the
wild animals, which include bears,
wolves, foxes, lynx, caribou and hares.
The best time for American sports
men to visit the island is the month Of
September. The best route is that by
rail to North Sydney, Cape Breton,
where the steamer Bruce is taken across
the 90 miles of water separating this
island from the continent. Landing at
Port-aux-Basques in five or six hours,
the hunter boards train, and run OF
10 hours places him in the midst of
the deer country. At Bay of Islands,
about two-thirds of the way, guides,
canoes and all the other accessories to
a successful hunting trip can be OBJ
tanned.
September is the best month to visit
the island, because then the sportsman
can vary his caribou hunting with other
sport, such as angling for trout or sal
mon. No fee is eNacted by the colony
for any form of sport except deer hunt
ing; the trout and salmon rivers are
free to all, and the game birds can be
shot by any person possessing the
requisite fowling piece. The guides en-
gagged for caribou shooting are equally
available for the angling and bird
shooting. A visitor, therefore, with the
leisure and equipment can claim his
fill of enjoyment there within month.

SEED CORN SELECTION.
How to Avoid a Mistake That Has Rs"
ined Many Crop on Very
Good Land.

Many farmers owning both bottom
and upland cornfelds make the mis-
take of using the same seed on both
kinds of soils. Corn which is adapted to
the soil and moisture conditions of the
valleys will not do so we'll on the up
land as will some variety that has by
several years of cultivation and selec-
ton become adapted to the conditions
there. 1t is for the same reason that
the large Colorado potatoes that have
been grown for years under irrigation
will do so poorly when used for seed
in Kansas without the accustomed sup
ply of water. 1t is generally the case
on the farm that the corn from all the
fields, both upland and bottom. is
cribbed together, and when the time for
seed selection comes the largest ears
ere picked out irrespective Of the kind
of soil that grew them. AS the bottom
land produces the larger ears it is more
than likely that the bulk OF the seed
will be from the lower and more moist
portions of the farm. This is the prop
err seed for the lowland, but it is not 50
well adapted to the dryer and poorer
upland as is seed that has been raised
there. 1t is advisable to select the seed
either before or at husking time, when
not only the quality of the ground but
the character of the individual stalk
and ear con be taken into considera-
ton. AS has been suggested before,
small box attached to the side OF the
wagon-bed into which the desirable
ears can be thrown is the most prac-
teal device that can be recommended.
BY little judicious selection for
series of years, strain can be estab7
lished on the upland portion OF any
farm which will be we'll adapted to that
and other soils similar in location and
composition. An eight-inch ear from
tte upland will ordinarily prove better
for planting on the upland than will
I2-inch ear from draw in the lower
portions of the farm.-J. NJ. Westgate,
IN l,rairie Farmer.
