CHANGES IN LAWS.
Imperial Palace, D. o. K. K, Increases
REPRESENTATION

The changes in the statutory laws of the
Imperial Palace, D. o. K. X, will. it is said
have quite an important relation to the
work of the local temple, No. 81. D. o. X.
X. Each temple has heretofore been en-
titled to two representatives, one sitting as
alternate for the ether. The new constitu-
ton provides that there shall be a repre-
sentative selected from the royal princes of
each temple for the first 200 members, and
also representative for each additional 200
members or fraction thereof. Representa-
tives shall hereafter sit for four years EACH
Under the new law no officers can be chosen
who are not members OF the Imperial
Palace.
The Imperial Palace has also provided
that the honors of the order shall be: Past
imperial prince, past imperial representa-
tive, past imperial nawab and royal prince
In this particular the law follows Pythian
statutes. Ascalon Temple has no past I'M
perial princes, but has three past imperial
nawabs. A. E. Glascock of this city, George
E Raub and Ciias J. F. Steiner Of Balti-
more; two past imperial Representatives and

PLANS ON EXHIBITION.
Municipal Building Designs Displayed
at Cosmos Club.

The competitive drawings for the new
municipal building for the District of
Columbia have been placed on exhibition in
der the auspices of the American Institute
of Architects. The display is in charge of
the Washington chapter and contains the
entire twelve sets Of drawings submitted
in the competition by as many architects
In addition to the views of the front eleva-
lions. there are also sectional views, plans
of the different floors and their arrange
ments rear and side views, etc.
In the number of competing architects
seven were from this city The drawings

ington, and Heinz & LaFarge, New York
This collection, taken as a whole, Is re-
garded by architects as the finest drawings
that have ever been submitted in a COM
petition for similar building The draw
ings of Cope & Stewardson, the successful
architects in the competition, are consid-
cred as especially noteworthy for the ex-
cellent presentation of plans. The plans
indicate marked symmetry and balance in
the building.
OF the five plans last considered four
were by Washington architects. sight
of the various plans will explain the close

Failed to Keep His Promise.

Its the same story" Policeman McCort
told Judge Bundy in the Police Court this
morning, when Minor Lawson was arraign-
ed on charge of disorderly conduct
What was he dong?' the court asked
He was drunk and boisterous on 7th
street northwest last night was the reply
How is 1T that you cannot change your
habits?" Judge Bundy asked Lawson, who
has been in court numerous times.
Il just got out of the workhouse at 2
O'clock yesterday afternoon, and before /
left l. promised myself that l would stop
drinking, but didn't keep the promise" =
If you will leave the city I'll let you off
this time" Judge Bundy told Lawson "but
otherwise you will have to go down..
It's hard thing for a man to leave his
home and friends" Lawson said
Fifteen days" his honor said, bringing
the matter to an end

SAVED THE TREES.

Last winter we had three choice ap-
pie trees. six years planted, badly CIR
died by the rabbits. We regarded the
trees as good as dead, but tried this
experiment: We took some strips of
cotton cloth three inches WIDE melted
some grating wax and soaked the
cloth in the wax, stripping off all the
wax we could between two knife
backs. This cloth we wound on the
mutilated sections of trees. At plant
ing time in May, expecting the trees
to die, we. set new trees as close to the
old ones as we could, so that they
could fill the vacancy. The injured
trees leaved out and have made as Wig
orous summer growth as any of the
uninjured trees in the orchard and ap-
parently have not suffered in the least
from the winter barking. This rem
edy-for we believe it is a remedy
must be applied as soon as the damage
is done, before the sun and wind get
in their work on the mutilated bark.

INTENSIVE FARMING.

The certain increase of population
and the equally certain increased value
of good farm lands will force a better
and more intensive type of agriculture,
the type which prevails in the thickly
settled communities of the old world
The man with small farm in China,
France, Jersey, Belgium or Holland
is of necessity an intensive farmer. He
simply must raise more than one crop
on his land during the crop season, and
he does, and not infrequently three
crops are taken from the land in one
year. He economies all his land. He
has no four rod roads burdened with
growth of wild hemp, ragweed, sun
flowers and nettles running through or
bounding his land. If he plants trees,
they bear fruit or nuts. No weeds
grow Oh his farm to rob the soil and
sap his land. He takes care of what
he raises and feeds his land intelli-
gently as he would his stock. The
knowledge of how TO properly and in
diligently farm small tracts of land
is something which the agricultural
colleges should give out in large meas
ure to their students.

CORN TOOLS.

We find that there is no best tool
with which to cultivate crop of corn.
Weather and soil conditions vary so
much that no one tool fills the bill all
the time. The disk and the harrow
properly used before the corn is plant
ed often do more good work in the
production of the crop than any other
tools. With mellow and level fields,
nothing beats the weeder if used be-
fore the weeds get a start; on those
fields infested with the large and deep
rooted weeds the surface cultivator
with its sharp knives is almost an in
dispensable tool, while the double
shovel cultivator will always be ia
vorite. The disk cultivator also does
good work, the only objection to it's
use being that it will ridge the field,
which is serious drawback in dry sea-
sons in the matter of conserving the
moisture.

HARD TO UNDERSTAND.

There is any amount of land in the
south of fair quality and covered with
heavy growth of timber which is
for sale at low prices, the rainfall am
pie and certain, the climate favorable
to the growth of all grains, fruits and
flowers, and all this failing to attract
the attention of home seekers, who are
INDUCING at the present time in one
wild, mad rush for cheap lands in the
far north and west, where the rainfall
is capricious and too often deficient,
where the winters are very long and
tedious and where fruit growing is al
most an impossibility. This is some
thing which is hard to understand.
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1902-07-23
WHERE coRN DOES BEST.

We are asked to state where the
very best crops of corn are raised in
this country. The greatest yield per
acre, properly verified, has not been
made in the so called corn states. The
best corn sections may be said to be
those where a crop of eighty bushels
per acre is produced each favorable
year under ordinary farm culture and
conditions, and the sections of the
country where this may be and is
done include the tile drained and re-
claimed wet lands and the rich river
bottom soils in any of the so called
corn producing states. The eastern
one-third of Kansas and Nebraska in
favorable seasons is probably as fine a
corn producing section as can be
found.

HE'LL OWN A FARM.

We know commonplace sort OF
young man, neither well educated nor
skilled in any sort of trade or business.
The best thing he can do seems to be
to work for some man on farm,
where he is first class hand. He has
worked for one man three years and
has saved up from his wages the sum
of $500, which he has in bank draw
ing a low rate of interest. He attends
strictly to business and never goes out
on high old time with the boys. He
is going to own good farm and make
a most successful farmer some ofthese
days, or we miss our guess.

EAST AND WEST SIDE.

A river passing through town,
while it adds materially 10 the scenic
beauty of the place. is of value in an
economic way in aifording needed
drainage and sewerage and quite fire.
quently a valuable power, is all too
often a serious menace to the welfare
of the town in a political and munici
pal way, in that it divides the people
into two factions and creates a rivalry
between the separated sections which
works to the serious disadvantage of
the community as whole.

There is likely to be before very
long a sharp competition between the
COW on the farm and the paper maker
as to which shall have the heretofore
wasted stalks Of the great cornfields

have solved the problem of the CONVEX
sion of these stalks into a palatable
ration for the COW. and the paper man
has found out how to convert the dry
stalk into an excellent quality Of pa

The Increasing productiveness of the
agricultural sections of the west and
northwest is taxing the carrying ca
pacity of the existing lines of railway
to the limit during the crop moving
season, and the time is not far distant
when the main arteries of such rail
way systems will all have to be double
tracked in order to do. the business of
fered them.

A vast sum of money is spent every
year in all the civilized parts OF this
country for the education of the chill
dren, and the weak spot connected
with the spending of this money is that
too much of it goes for educational
frills and fads and not enough Of it
for the education of the child along the
common, practical lines-things which
he will be so much I'm need of as he
takes up the business of life. When a
high school graduate spells whole
minus the wv" something is wrong,
even if he can conjugate Latin verb.

If you are fool enough to bite at a
proposition which proposes on its face
TO give you something for nothing, you
deserve to get stuck, as you most sure
ly will, and yet ten such suckers can
be found in every civil township in the
country. If you are one of the ten,
don't solicit sympathy when you get
pinched, but take your medicine and
profit by the experience.
