Direction for Growing and Feeding the
Rape Crop.

(BY ". A. HENRY, DIRECTOR A. f. s
Be sure to order Dwarf Essex rape.
Ii one asks for rape seed" he may
Get bird seed RAPE. which is Of no
value for forage purposes Many
such mistakes have been made. Rape
seed closely resembles turnip seed in
appearance. The seed costs but little
and can be obtained from any seeds
man.
Seeding with gram. Rape may be
sown with oats, barley or winter rye.
Seeding with rye. Ii sown with
winter rye. harrow the rye field in
early spring aud sow about two
pounds of rape seed per acre, harrow
ing lightly again after the seed has
been sown. Such narrowing viii US
ually be helpful TO the rye crop.
Seeding with oats and barley. Rape
seed can be sown along with oats or
barley, but if this Is done the growth
of rape is liable to become so rank,
especially if the season is a wet one,
that the plants will grow as tall as
the oats or barley. When this Jap
pens trouble occurs at harvesting
time owing to the green rape plants
being cut aud bound in the cat or
barley sheayes. causing them to rot
under the bands.
1t is best then to sow rape seed
later than the grain is sown so that
the rape will not grow 50 rapidly
Eight or nine days after sowing the
oats or barley, or when the Young
grain plants are three or four inches
high. run a slant-tooth harrow over
the field 10 loosen the soil. Then
seed two or three pounds Of rape and
harrow lightly again. BY seeding in
this way the grain crop has so much
the start Of the rape plants that the
latter are kept small and spindling
until after the grain is harvested.
After harvesting the rape plants get
ting the benefit Of sun and moisture
begin to grow, and in a good season
the field evil soon be covered with
green forage which can be fed off a.
usual.

INDIGESTION.

Many things you fear about yoAr stom- ach cannot be true. If you have had in- digestion or dyspepsia for years it is ma tural to believe that the stomach itself IS diseased. It is only the functions of the stomach that are impaired This is the whole trouble in a vast majority of cases and the proof can be had by trying pr. Harters Iron Tonic
 Your stomach has many things to do, and failure to do any one of them leads to imperfect digestion. The stomach gets It's nutriment and its digestive fluids f! om the blood. If the blood Is impure or lacks the rght proportion Of strength producing iron. the whole body suffers from q kind of breaking down process.
 To restore health you must start at the source of life itself-the Dlood-and through that vital fluid build up the stom- ach and other vital organs.
 pr Harters Iron Tonic has cured thou sands of cases of indigestion and dyspep- sla every year for the past forty-hve years. It is the one remedy you can take with certainty of immediate improvement and a sure cure.
 It is prepared with scientific accuracy and many eminent physicians prescribe 1t constantly. Faithful use of it will en- able you to digest your food as perfectly as you ever have. Prepared only by The Or Harter Medicine Co, Dayton, Ohio. Sold everywhere. G)

4 CHANGE IN SOLICITORS
Governor Oates Says the Action of Convention Was Caused by
 Combinations

Speaking of the action of the Conven- ton in regard to the establishment of County Solicitors, Governor Oates said yesterday:
 The changing from the system of Circuit Solicitors to County Solicitors is attributable almost entirely to the alleged combinations of Circuit Solici- tors to have themselves reelected. It was charged, and not denied, that they meet and form combinations to re- elect themselves and beat every can didate, however abe and popular with the people, if he is not in the combine.
 Several delegates, 1 learn, have been thus victimiZed and each of them fought fiercely to abolish Circuit So- Icitors. l was the author of the Cir cult Solicitor system. and think that 1t has worked well until since it has been cut to pieces by making SO many Coun- ty Solicitors. The entire judiciary sys- tenn of the State tends to localiZe as the counties become more populous. Believing that the time is near at hand when every county sin the State will have a Solicitor or Prosecuting Attor- ney of it's own. I favored and voted for the change. The County Solicitor, if guided by sensible law. will give sat isfactiOn. And in nearly all the coun- ties the office. in these times of pau city of practice. will ba a good one for the young lawyers of ability. The Circuit Solicitors will have due notice and time to look out for another job Most of them, with their experience, would make good Circuit Judges, and the number of these officials will soon be increased .'

They Pushed a Trailer Through the Streets and Admitted It Was
 Wronr


 Wednesday night Policemen Payne and Evans while at the corner of Bainbridge and Washington Streets, heard ar. unusual noise up the street and going in that direction they saw an object moving through the street that they took tU be cage rom menagerie that was running amuck Tn the street. Upon approaching nearer they found to their astonishment that it was one of the riCkety, ramshackle, bumpety pumping street cars or the Montgomery Street Railway running through the streets without headlights. and pushing trailer in front.
 The people in the neighborhocd were struck with terror, not knowing but that the wild animals from some show would soon be upon them
 The officers arrested Houston Mos ley, W. NJ. Stanley and Watt Talley, who were in charge of the car. ana docketed a case against them Of run hing d street car without a headlight.
 The police officers say the carmen ad- mitted that the trailer had been pushed in front of the motor from Court Square to Oak Park. They also ad- mitted that they knew it was wrong.
 The attorney of the car company appeared before the Recorder yesterday afternoon and stated that ;here was no law in the city prohibiting such con- duct, and asked the discharge of the men. The Chief of Police said that he dlc. not know that there was an ordl- nance covering the case. as 1t Was probably not contemplated that such an invasion of the streets of the city would be attempted. He asked that the cases be continued to give him an op- portuni:y to examine the city statutes. He added if there was not an ordinance covering the cases that there certainly ought to be.
 The oversight will probably be reme- died at the next meeting of the Council.

A LONG MARRIED LIFE.
Mr.. and Mrs. C. J. chilberg Married
More Than Sixty Years.

Mr.. and Mrs. C. j. Chilberg, of La
Conner, Washington, recently celebra-
ted the sixty-eighth anniversary Of
their marriage. This couple were for
merly residents of Wapello county,
living in Chrstiansberg, Polk town
ship, from 1876 until 1871. The cou-
pie emigrated from Sweden to this
county, afterwards removing to La
Conner where they have lived ever
since. Inc Seattle Post-lntelligencer
of recent date prints an excellent half
tone cut of the couple and gives part
of their history which is as follows:
THE distinction of being the oldest
married couple in the state of Wash
ington is now claimed by Mr.. and Mrs.
c. Js.Chilberg, of La Conner. The
claim was first maze for Mr. and Mrs.
Warren Sutherland, of East Sound.
Then Rev. and Mrs. Daniel Bagley, of
this city, who were married August
Is, 1910, in Pennsylvania, and whose
respective ages are SO and 80 years,
proved their right to the title. Still
later, Mr.. and Mrs. James Braggins, of
this city. who were married sixty-three
years ago, in 1888, came forward. Mr..
and Mrs. Chilberg, according to fully
authenticated records, have lived in
Wedlock fYe years longer than even
the venerable Braggins couple. They
were welded in May, 1888, and have
therefore sixty-eight years and six
months of married life to their credit
Mr.. Chilberg was born in Sweden,
in April, 1918, and is therefore nearing
his eighty-ninth birthday. Mrs. Chill
berg is her husbands senior by sever
al months, and will, December of the
present year, attain the age of SO
years. having first seen the light Of
day in the year 1872. Mr.. Chilberg,
who is still hale and hearty and in full
possession of all his faculties, is one
of the pioneers of the state, having
come TO the territory of Washington
in 1858. Three years later his family
followed him. The aged husband and
wife have seven sons living, besides
nine grandchildren and an equal num-
Der of grandchildren.
