WISCONSIN CONVENTION.

Over 400 loyal women attended the 10th
annual Convention at Milwaukee last
week. Department President Libbie Bael
presided and read her annual report,
which showed that the emergency funds
raised by the Department for the soldiers ien
of the Spanish war amounted to S6,1SO,
while the funds for the regular work
amounted to $500. OF the latter amount
a great part was expended on the Wis
consin Home and the National W.R.C.
Home.
The report of the Treasurer showed a
balance of nearly 81 900, and no liabilities.
There are now 142 Corps in the State, with
a membership of $3.50. There is not

An inch of rainfall takes 22,S25 gal
Ions of water per acre, or more than
five and One-half gallons to each square
yard. An inch of rain will not last
more than a week in hot weather i'm
May or June. In artificial watering,
quart of water poured around
plant, makes the soil quite wet for
few minutes. But the surrounding
soil is all dry and immediately begins
to draw the water away from the wet
spot, until in a very short time it is
as dry as ever Then the last condi-
tion of that plant is worse than the
first.
The question of watering versus cul-
tivating has been investigated by the
Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station.
The Following quotation is from their
bulletin of january, 1899:
"Early and continuous cultiva tion

that is commonly supposed. 1t has
been found that the loss of moisture
from unplowed ground may be in ex-
cess of that from cultivated soil to an
amount equal to an inch and three
fourths of rainfall in week. A man
with a team and a sprinkHng cart
could not replace the water on an acre
of land as fast as it escapes by evap-
oraIt1on from the soil, when it goes off
at that rate, if he had to haul the wa
ter One-fourth of mile. The import
ance of stirring the soil soon after a
shower is generally known; but in
practice, cultivation after slight show
ers is often neglected. This is be-
cause the soil does not become COM

showers, hence the necessity of stir

A Marrying Community,

A correspondent to the Atlanta Con-
stitution writes that paper: l note the
publication of the marriage a few days
ago of Mr.. Den Kelly, of Hall coun-
ty; that this was his third marriage in
less than one year, and that all three
OF his wives were sisters. His exper-
fence Is certainly a remarkable exhibit
tiOn Of the facility with which matri-
monial robes and the emblems of
mourning may be donned and doffed,
but l write to say that the experience
OF Kelly is not without precedent. In
1888 Mr.. James Booth, a citizen of
Marion county, Ga, was the husband
OF three wives in less than IL months.
His second and third marriages each
occurred in about three weeks after
the death of his first and second wives,
the death of these two wives being
nine months apart. Not quite so long
ago, though more than 80 years,
young minister of the Methodist
church in Georgia, now a prominent
member of one OF the Georgia confer
ences, attended an annual conference
with his first wife and attended the
next annual conference with his third
wife.-PHtsburg Times.

Street Notes.

At this time of the year, when the
condition OF streets and yards is es-
peoially noticeable, 1t is discouraglng
to see the number of stray papers
which are tossed hither and thither at
the mercy of the wind.
They blow up in the face Of the hur-
rying pedestrian, or collect around his
feet. They tempt him to use bad lang
uage as he reaches home to find his
newly raked yard Uttered like circus
ground just after a circus has folded
its tents and gone its way.
Surely there is great carelessness
somewhere, or this state OF affairs
could not exist The paper nuisance
Is particularly noticeable on Front
street. The beautifully kept lawns on
Muskingum avenue, and the Park, In
its spring time loveliness, are spotted
with these untidy papers, carried there
by the wind. II they spring from the
business houses, word ITO the wise is
sufficient Let not the innocent be the
victims OF the guilty.
The obstruction of the side walk and
street while building is in progress is
another condition which has caused
much inconvenience. During the
building OF house on a prominent
street, the winter skies have looked
down upon sorrowfully muddy side
walk, with little space left between
the piles of rubbish on either side,
that the passersby were compelled to
walk in single file. The street in front
of the house was an eye-sore to the
neighborhOod from the beginning un-
til the end of winter because of the
surplus brick, stone and lumber allow
ed to remain there.
In prosperous Marietta, so much
building is in progress that a little
more care might be taken and common
rights respected. Such a course would
surely receive the cordial endorsement
of all order-loving citizens.
