good road advocate. 1t is quite
local in it's demands. That is
all right. If one mile of good
road can be made, then more

towns of the county will take
action and insist on having
good roads too. Now, altogeth-

basis for good roads is good

DAWES TALKS TO BANKERS.
Strongly Opposes Certain Proposed
Changes in Banking Laws.

0ITeHGiy opposes SeFIath PROPOSED
Changes in Banking Laws.
st. Paul, July Gin his address be-
fore the morning session of the Mime
sofa Bankers association, Charles G..
Dawes, former comptroller of the cur
rency, strongly opposed the proposed
changes in the banking laws Of the
United States, and declared the system
championed by Congressman Fowler,
who addressed the bankers on Tues
day. to be radically wrong and i'm
practicable. Mr.. Dawes had no use
for asset currency, and denounced all
changes in the currency laws now
pending before congress as imprac-
ticable.
He favored the present banking laws
and was Of the opinion that there was
no occasion for changes at the present
time.
The system of asset banking. as pro-
posed by Mr.. Fowler, with the first
lien provision and branch banking
method were declared by Mr.. Dawes
to be evils in disguise instead of feas-
ible plans of relief.
After some discussion the associa-
ton adopted a resolution against the
watering of stocks. Resolutions were
also adopted condemning branch bank
ing. favored a uniform system Of
bank money orders; congratulating the
banks of Minnesota on the record OF
not a single failure in 1902 or 1908.

most favorable statement. This was
disclosed in the improved pulse, bet
ter respiration and ameliorated gen.
eral condition. DR.. Mazzoni said in a
conversation following the issuance of
the 8:15 p. m. bulletin, that while the
pope still continued desperate, recov-
cry was not entirely impossible. I'm
fortunately soma elements in the pop
ulation Of Rome, including a few who
are high in the councils of the vatican,
are inclined to cast doubt upon the
sincerity Of the bulletins. This led
curing the day to a strong movement
IN favor of calling other Hhysiciars.
The theory Of the initiators Of this
movement was that Dctcors Popponi
and Mazzoni had
Misjudged the Disease,
taking for pneumonia what was really
pleurisy. Both accepted the idea OF
q consultation with any CT their col
leagues. Many c-aineut specialists
have been proposed. trt it was said
late in the night that it ho7 practical

ton was decided cN. DR..
Mazzoni said that ~ N' i~ri there
was no immediate Tes' o. a ~consulta-
ton and that one would not be he] !
unless the present conditions changed.
Groups of silent. curious people
watched the lights glimmer in the sick
chamber till past midnight from the
broad piazza outside st. Peters. anx-
iously waiting for news from within.
Now and then distinguished prelates
came and inquired regarding the pope's
condition and they in turn would give
the little groups their varying impress
sions of hope and fear.
The prevailing sentiment of those
admitted nearest to the sufferer is
that his life is gradually ebbing away,
but whether death will be a matter of
hours or Of days neither the doctors
nor his nearest friends can tell.

PLANS MAY EE CHANGED.
Proposed Successor to Auditor Petty
Interested in a Tile Company.


Interested in a Tile Company.
Washington, July 9.-Investigation
by District Commissioner West has de
veloped that Alexander Mckenzie,
formerly deputy auditor of the Dis
trict, and who has been selected as
auditor to succeed James T. Petty. in
whose Office there has been consider
able stealing for the past several years,
approved, while holding the former
position. scores of vouchers aggregaes-
ing thousands of dollars for paymen-
to the Washington Asphalt Block ana
Tile company, of which he is the secre-
tary. Mr.. Vests Investigation es-
tended only as far back as 1900, but
the thirty or forty vouchers which
during tina, time bore McKenzie's ap-
prevail aggregated over $S5.OOO. Mr..
Mckenzie 10Y is a member of the
board of personal tax assessors and it
was proposed that he and Auditor
Petty should exchange places.
This discovery may make a change
in plans necessary unless Mr.. McKen-
Zie retires from the company. as the
commissioners do not think District
officials ought to have financial intel
ests in District contracts. There is
rot the least suspicion of wrongdoinC
on Mr.. Mckenzie's part.

Potato Culture.

Potatoes may DO grown on a variety
Of soils; but the most important factor
in growing them successfully, after the
proper selection of tubers for seeding,
is the selection OF the kind of soil best
adapted TO them Soil in a pulverized
state, Sd light that it will offer but small
resistance to the growth of the tubers,
should be selected. The ground should
be we'll drained, and have supply of
organic matter sufficient to keep it in a
state Of moisture, which is necessary to
the normal growth Of the potato. Plow-
ing under green crops and adding we'll
rotted farm manures will render almost
any kind of soil suitable for growing
this crop, while newly cleared lands
are adapted to some varieties Of the po-
tato, as the soil is in mechanically fa-
vorable state to its growth, and has a
liberal supply of organic matter, which
continues till cultivation exhausts it from
the soil. The mechanical condition OF
the soil is Of much importance, as its
natural fertility and artificial fertiliza-
ton will, to great extent, supply the
deficiency of this organic quality, if the
soil is in condition to furnish the ne
cessary moisture. Experience in grow
ing this crop teaches that one year, or
two years at most, is as long as this
crop should be without change grown on
piece Of ground, because the plant
food suited to the potato by that time
becomes exhausted, and then the germs
of disease from the scabby tubers will
remain in the soil. aud they must be
starved out BY changing the crop to that
which will not support these particular
germs.-Frauk Monroe Beverly in The
Epitomist
