WANT CUNNING STREET PAVED
Petition for Improvement Almost
Complctcd-Strcct Practically
Impassablc to Vehicles.

There is we'll developed movement in the
north part OF the city demanding the paw
ing OF Cunning street, from Thirty second to
Fortieth. a portion OF the street which Is
at present little better than a mud hole. The
street was once paved with cedar blocks,
but most of these have disappeared. In
places cinders have been put in to take the
place of the wornoW pavement, but have
not been sufficiently worked to make a good
driveway.
A petition for the Improvement OF the
street has been prepared and is being cir
cuoted for signatures 1t already bears sig
natures representing only about 100 feet less
than the required majority OF 2,7OO and is
still incomplete only because the owners Of
much of the other property are nonresdents
or companies in the hands OF receivers, max
ing it difficult to bring the matter to their
notice in an effective manner Those who
are favoring the improvement point to the
large portion of the city interested in the
condition of the street. All users of the
Walnut Hill street car line, living on Wal
nut HILL Orchard Hill and Clifton Hin, it
it said. would profit by the paving of the
street, as the street car company has prom
iscd to lay rails and put on better cars as
soon as the work is done. The street runs
by one of the citys parks and is used by
the residents of a quarter of the city in
which considerable amount of building
is being done
The petitioners all want asphalt used, as
the street on both sides of the unpaved
portion is asphalted. They believe they
are entitled to the improvement as the
street has been four or five years in its
present condition. There is no continuous
east and west paved street north of Farnam
and 1t is urged that there is serious need

LOCAL BRE VITIES.

County Treasurer Heimrod will call in
general fund warrants aggregating about
$50, 900 today. The numbers run up to 1924.
On account of the mass meeting of citi-
zens at the city hall last night to discuss
the viaduct question the regular meeting of
the Southwest Improvement club was post
poned.
On Saturday and Sunday next Buck
Keith's Original base ball team will play
the Tecumsehs at Nonparei park, Fifteenth
and Vinton Streets the gate receipts to be
donated to the Herman relief fund.
A meeting of the Irish American club was
held Tuesday evening, President Edward
Walsh presiding. 1t was decided to increase
the membership of the club in Douglas. A
committee OF three was appointed for that
purpose and will report at the next regular
meeting.
Ed Wheeler was arrested Tuesday night on
being found to be in possession OF large
chunk of brass, the kind of chunks In which
the smelter often handles metal. In police
court yesterday Judge Gordon recalled
the fact that Wheeler had been bound over
once before for stealing old metal and
therefore gave him thirty days.
Five more wheelmen were arrested Tues
day for fast riding on the uptown streets.
This time they were taken on Farnam
street. They gave their names as William
Jones. Fred johnson, George R. Patterson,
W. A. Anderson and R. p. Anderson, Jones
and Johnson appeared in police court and
pleaded guilty, and were fined 81 each.
People who visited the new federal build
ing Tuesday night complained of the lack of
light in the rooms and corridors. There
were times when it was impossible to dis
tinguish objects few feet distant. This
trouble was due to the fact that the meters
of the electric light and the gas companies
were too small to carry the necessary volt
age and gas. The lights represent 1900
candle power divided equally between the
two lighting companies, and as all of the
lights were on, the meters could not supply
the demand that was made upon them.

ers. AS he understood Manderson's talk 1t
was plea that since the Burlington had
pulled down the cow-shed which had served
as a depot for twenty years the city should
do something handsome in return
He was not an alarmlst the judge said,
but he believed that the people OF the south
side we're simply demanding their rights and
demanding that the council do what the
courts had said they had a right to do and
was their duty. He hoped that II any coun-
Gilman were to vote for this most infquitous
proposition he would be buried so deep when
the time came that he would never be seen
again.
Judge Baldwin then made an intensely
earnest appeal for justice for the Union Pa
cifc road. He reiterated a part Of what
General Henderson had said, but took a
more defiant attitude.
1--WE propose to get down to a basis OF
actual facts, where justice flows as clear as
a mountain stream and there We propose to
take our stand, come what may" said he.
He repeated that the agreement entered
into at this time by the council would not
be binding upon future councils and that
under changed conditions the city would be
justified in altering or even abrogating 1t,
If reason demanded such a course.
C. j. Greene compared the functions and
the origin of cities and railroads and indi-
Gated many similarities. He said he did not
appear as the attorney for any road nor at
the solicitation of any, despite his connection
with one of the two interested. He warned
the city not to exercise its powers unrea-
sonably simply because it had them. He
asked that protests come from property
owners.
Following a suggestion made by Judge
Baldwin, Councilman Stuht moved that the
council meet the representatives of the roads
in the council chamber Friday afternoon al
o'clock for the purpose of drawing up a
satisfactory agreement. BY common consent
the motion was considered passed. The
council chamber will be open to the public
during the conference.

LOUSE-INFESTED HOGS.
How u Western Farmer Made Good
Use of the Example Set by
Suffering Creature.

Very frequently some one asks how
to get ride of the hog louise. Three years
ago breeder of PolandC hinas brought
two sows to breed to Mahaska Chief
190s1, my herd boar at that time. These
sows were populated with hog lice,
those mammoth thoroughbred fellows,
and as they seemed to be of an explor-
ing nature some got on Mahaska Chief
and failed to get back. When discov-
cred them they had claims staked all
over him and were getting thickly set
tied back of his ears, fore legs and
above the hook. They did not stop at
that, but multiplied and spread out un-
til they were aboard every hog on the
place. Then [ was like the other fell
low that's got 'em and wants to get rid
of them. For two years looked in vain
for remedy. I tried kerosene emul-
sion, insect powder, carbolic acid and
other remedies without satisfactory re-
suits. ...
About year ago I was in the hog
house one day with a coal oil can when
1 noticed a hog go to a post and rub
himself from end to end. Then an idea
struck me. Why not put the coal oil
on the post and let the hog grease him
self? put the idea into practice, went
and got some stout cloth, hammer and
tacks, and tackled the cloth in three
different places in the hog house, where
they usually rubbed, saturated the
cloth thoroughly with oil and fastened
the hogs out of the house until evening,
when I carried in fresh bedding and
plenty of it. I then took the oil can
again and went over it., sprinkling the
bedding pretty thoroughly, opened the
door to let the hogs in, closed it again
and kept it closed until morning. have
not seen a live louise on any of my pigs
from that day to this. saturated the
cloth but once. only had about 30
head at that time, but I do not care if a
man has a thousand, if he will pursue
the course 7 did and be thorough, be-
lieve he can kill every louise and destroy
every nit.-Western swineherd.

WORMS IN HORSES.
How to Treat and Dose Animals NJ
ficted with the Three Kinds
Usually in Evidence.

Worms are most frequently seen in
young horses and in those that are
weak and debilitated. They are more
frequent in horses pastured on low, wet
or marshy ground, and where the ami
mails drink from stagnant water, says
the Southern Farmer. They are usual
ly of one of the three following kinds:
The lumbricoid worm, which is in form
much like the common earthWOrm. It
is white or reddish in color, and meas.
ures from four to twelve inches in
length, and varies in thickness from the
size of straw to that of ones little
finger. The pin-worm, which is a semi
transparent thread-like worm, measur-
ing in length from one to two inches.
The tape-worm, which is white, fiat
thin, broad and pointed. These some
times measure in length 20 or 80 feet
Among the best remedies for worms
may be mentioned santonine, turpen-
tine, tartar emetic and bitter tonics.
For tape-worm, areca nut, male fern
and pumpkin seed are the best. All
these worm remedies should be given
after long fast, and be supplemented
with physic to carry out the worms.
If horse is passing worms, give twice
daily for three or four days drench
composed of turpentine one ounce and
linseed oil two or three ounces, to be
followed on the fourth day by physic
of Barbados aloes one ounce. This
should be followed by vegetable tonic
to tone up the appetite, say one-halt
ounce of Peruvian bark, gentian, ginger
or quassia, to be given twice day in
the feed or in drench.

Date Trees for Arizona.

The most expert pathologist of the
agricultural department, DR.. Zwingle,
is now in Morocco on a mission which
the department hopes will launch a new
and profitable industry in the most arid
sections of our southwest. 1t has been
found that date palms, with some irri-
CATION, will grow as well in Arizona as
in Arabia. Early Mormon settlers in
the territory proved this many years
ago, but the trees were not of the best
variety and date-growing never devel-
oped as an industry. The agricultural
department has prepared to push the
experiment on an extensive scale, how
ever. DR.. Zwingle is making a close
study of the African date palm, select
ing the very finest varieties and those
best adapted to an arid region. These
young trees will be carefully shipped to
Arizona, where they will be planted and
cared for under the close supervision of
the departments experts. The plants
will cost the department about five dol
lars each laid down in Arizona.

SPRING RAINS.

Welcome the sweet and gentle spring-time
That waken earth from out its prolonged
rest,
That send new life along the frozen veins
OF that great underworld hid meath
her breast.
Down deep into the cold, insensate earth
The warm, soft waters steady make their
sss way,
And quicken into life and to new birth
Each tiny rootlet hidden there away.
Outlined against the gray and somber sky,
The trees like silhouettes stand sharp
and clear,
While like benediction from on high
The rains fall through the last years
Tree, shrub and bush, in every branch and
part,
Drink in with eagerness each precious
drop,
And through the torpid, frozen branches
start
New life and vigor up from root to top.
Thus in their season does the Father send
His gentle harbingers of fruits and flow
Old life with new, new power with old to
Through His descending resurrection
showers.
How musical the patter Of the rain
Against the roof-top and the easement
wide,
Like angels tapping at the window pane,
In token they would enter and abide.
Speak to the earth.'' said Job; ut shall
teach thee!'' /
! And eloquent indeed is earth Of God
i In its dark depths no mortal eye can see
= Are wrought the glories cast so wide

from out that dark and mystic under
IN earth,
N lwhere pent-up energies of life are stored,
I FLOR and fragrance, fruits and flowers
draw birth,
That are on upper earth so richly poured.
So i'm this world all things, both great
and small.
Are ministers Of God to work His will;
His winds blow north and south, His rain
drops fall.
All are His messengers of good or ILL.,
So. too, on our dead hearts the gentle

OF spirit blessing come down from above,
And soon they blossom into fruits and
flowers,
And And new life. the outcome Of new

fowl is not more reared than it is; no
fowl living lays so well, none rear their
young with so little trouble or care to
the owner. They hatch out in the
meadows or fields, and invariably bring
home quite nice flock of such pretty
little birds; they fly up in trees to rest
when quite small. If set and reared I'M
der ordinary hens they are very gentle,
and will make their nests with the

keep nicely and the chicken eggs are
sent to market. The guinea fowls are

Mr.. Won Culin is one of the few gen

Chickens should be taken out of the

aear stove or in warm place and the
chicks not fed for "a hours.
After that time remove them from
the basket into a brooder heated be-

a few bread crumbs. Keep clean water
constantly before them, but have the
