II is alleged that Kansas man
planted potatoes alternately with
onions and achieved great success.
The onions caused the potatoes
eyes to water and neither rain nor
irrigation were necessary to make
the crops grow. The mayor OF
Newdale, however, sets the pace
when /, comes TO growing crops IN
unusual. strange and unaccoun'a.
bic ways. During the past season
he set out strawberries alternately
wiCh milk weeds aud raised straw
berries and cream, thus saving the
expense of keeping a Jersey COW
and doing whole lot OF unneces-
ssry milking. The mayor is hard
to beat when 1t comes to inventing
devices to relieve the strenuous
monoiony OF agricultural life.

things we don't know il absolutely
appalIs US We have been in
print shop ever since we were
thirteen years old, and next spring
that will be thirty years ago.
Some OF these print shops were
located at various and others at
sundry points on this mundane
sphere. All that we know Is mix
ed up with ink and rollers, lye pots
mot jack pots), and the little ST
lent messengers OF thought known
to the trade as antimony. We
very much regret that circum-
stances were such that we did not
have an opportunity 10 acquire a
college education. for now that we
are in the "sere and yellow leaf"
we know the value of IT How
ever, we still have hopes As
long as we live we expect to learn
something new every day, and il
we ever reach the age of Methusa-
lah we may know as much as a
graduate OF the La Junta public
schools. We don't know much
about present day methods in our
public schools, but we confess
that some OF them are beyond our
comprehension. Years ago they
used to pay great deal OF atten-
ton to the common. ordinary
branches, such as readIn'. 'ritin'
aud 'rithmetiC. The first thing
learned was the alphabet. That
don't go any more, however. We
know a little girl in this town that
could read quite well before she
knew the letters of the alphabet.
Now she can spell recherche, :"
"suimosity," and other lengthy
words that she doesn't know the
meaning OF, but is up against II
when she tries to spell sit, ..of. /"
and other simple two aud three
letter words. That may be all
right in school, but it won't work
in print shop. The example
cited is good illustration OF the
complaints made by parents who
criticise our schools The simple.
practical things that everybody
learned in school years ago-pen
msnshIp. fractions, percentage,
tables OF weights and measures,
things that we use every day
seem to be sighted nowadays.
Some OF our graduates who can
conjugate any kind Of an old verb
IN Latin, are up against Il when il
comes to doing the same thing in
plain United States. We heard a
fond parent in this city confess
the other day that he was ash named
of his daughters handwriting. She
is a graduate OF our public schools,
too. A little less diploma. more
practical instruction in the minor
branches and less IN frills and fur
bellows would prove more satisisc
tory to some OF the common, or.
dinary people OF this community
than the present system.

Allowance for IncidentaIs.

Every department of the state gov
ernment will receive much smaller
sum for incidentals during the present
administration than in previous years.
Under the appropriation bill only $780,
900 is available for these expenses. The
auditing board mas apportioned the
money on the basis of a reduction of
forty-one per cent. for each depart
ment.
The law does not permit the appoint
ment of additional clerks who shall
draw pay from the incidental funds.
To obtain additional help the head of
a department must induce the auditing
board to transfer employees from an
other department. Following is the in
cidentals apportionment:
Governors department, $4,000; sec
retary of state. s6.47S; auditor, s4,076;

Rubber In Colorado.

3 Colorado may become big rubber
producing state as the result of an 40
cidental discovery few days ago,
says the Denver News. It has bsen
found that rubber trees will grow In
this soil and the only thing now await
ing investigation is whether the rub
ber can be extracted and put on the
market on paying basis.
An agent of the. Denver & Rio
Grande railroad, residing nineteen
miles south of the city, has been both
cred considerably lately by wild
growth of shrubbery around his place.
1t continued to spread and nothing he
could do would stop its growth. At
last he sought relief here in Denver
and brought number of samples Of
the shrubbery to the city. These were
taken to Henry A. Riebling, assayee
and metallurgist for G. M. Fueller At
1850 California street They bore
such a strong resemblance to the rub
ber plants of India and Mexico that an
effort was made to extract the raw
rubber from the roots. The result was
as expected and number of samples
of pure rubber in the crude state were
obtained. Another trial was made yes
terday and it was proven beyond any
doubt that it was a rubber-producing
shrub -.
