AN ITEM appeared in the ERA last
 week from an associate press dispatch to the effect that the Mormon church would back Senator SmOot in his
 fight to retain his seat in the |. S. senate. Since the publication of the ERA several prOminet MormOps of this section have informed the writer that the statement referred to is not correct. They state that the Mormon church is not taking an interest in the matter. Senator Smoot, who was recently interviewed in regard to the matter, mado the following state ment:
 "Mr. Cannon would like very much indeed to have the American people understand that l am here to repre- sent the Mormon church in my per sonal capacity and as a member of that church. But l want the people of the United states to understand that do not take the position of Mir. Cannon nor can anyone else force me into it. l was elected by the republi- cans of the state of Utah. and I am here as senator representing that state. l shall guard the interests of all the people Of | tah irrespective of their religion. creed or color. Every interest of state. no matter what it may be. nor from what class of people 1t comes, shall be protected to the best Of my ability. So far as these protcstants to my taking my seat is concerned, would do just as much for them as any other citizen.n
 The ERA does not believe that there is one word of truth in the charges l against Mir. SmoOt. He was elected | by an almost unanimous vote of the l legislature, which contained many | gentiles. His candidacy for the sen ate had been announced before the members of the legislature were elect ed, and therefore he is practically the choice of the people His case is regarded by many as religious persecution. There is nothing in it but hot air He will serve out his time.

MINING litigation at Butte. Mon taua, has reached most accute stage. August Heinze is accredited with having been the main factor in in augurating litigation there and for many years he seemed to have things pretty much his own way. but since the passage of the Fair Trial law by the Montana legislature, which pro- Vides that cases can be brought or transferred to any court in the state. things have not been coming so smoothly for him This new law was passed that the jurisdiction of cases could be taken away from the "Heinze judges as they are usually called by the newspapers. It has been claimed that Heinze absolutely controlled the judges at Butte. but whether this is correct or not it is certain that their decisions were always in his favor
 Recently, however, several important decissions have been rendered against Mir. Heinze and it would now appear that he is nearing his undoing. An order of the court was recently made for survey of the underground work ings of property in which Heinze was entrusted. Heinze's superinten-

man who recently came from ireland

the minister called at the house he

on reaching the bedside of the sick
man was surprised at finding him
apparently well. The day being warm

The New Strawberry Bed.

The new strawberry bed can be so
managed that it will require the least
care and will produce the largest pos.
si5le amount of fruit. We think it a
great mistake to allow the vines to
occupy most of the ground as they
are allowed to do in too many gar
dens- We have seen such a bed on
the second season become a solid
mass, with the result that the berries
are small and hard to pick. The next
year every inch Of space is covered
with plants and generally no fruit to
speak Of is secured. If the hedge-row
system is followed the results will be
better and the bed may be kept for
several years without being renewed
That method is to allow the plants to
grow say six inches apart and the
rest of the ground is kept clean of
both plants and weeds. The roots of
the plants have an abundance Of feed
ing ground and gather large quanti-
ties of plant food for the making Of
the crop of berries. The row of straw
berries will not then be generally
more than one foot across, and the
rows should be at least three feet
apart measuring from center to cen.
ter.

When to Stop Cultivation.


cultivation of the orchard should
generally be stopped by the end of
july This is especially the case with
Ola orchards that are being cultivated
Tor the first time. In the case of an
orchard that has been cultivated right
along there can be little or no harm
IN cultivating at any time of year. It
will then stop growing in midsummer
and VIII spend the rest of its time
and energy in hardening up its wood.
But the orchard that has not been
much cultivated or even that has not
been cultivated in the spring of this
year will be injured by giving it extra
attention of this kind in the late
summer and fall. If, however, the
trees are carrying a heavy crop of
fruit, cultivation may be continued
later than If the trees are bare or
have little fruit on them. The extra
amount of plant food set loose will
then go into the fruit that is being
produced and the late DEVELOPMENT
OF buds and of wood will not occur.
In fact, in dry climates and dry sea.
sons the late cultivation may prevent
the fruit-laden trees from becoming
weakened from lack of moisture. Then
as there is a great deal of loss of
moisture from the uncultivated ground
and the fruit on the trees is recurring
great deal for it's development, there
is sometimes injury to the tree from
the supply Of moisture being lessened
or cut off.

Tobacco for Wooly Aphis.


Tobacco dust can be obtained from
the great tobacco manufacturing es.
Establishments for about one cent per
pound IT purchased in large quantities.
Some of our best Investigators of in.
sect troubles of the orchard say that
this dust Is destroyer of woody aphis
and can be used to advantage around
every fruit tree that is or has been
affected. The usual mode of appli.
cation is to dig away the soil from
around the tree to distance of two
feet each way and to depth of say
four inches. About five pounds of the
tobacco dust is spread over this place
and the dirt put back. This is to
prevent the dust being blown away
by the winds or washed away by the
rains. The rain that falls will carry
the nicotine from the tobacco to all
parts of the roots of the tree affected
by the aphis and they will be killed
1t will also prevent the coming OF
other broods of the aphis. The to.
bacco is worth for fertilizer all it
costs, and it's insecticidal value IS an
absolute gain. The work of applica,
ton may therefore be set down as
the only cost of the protection it af
fords.

membered now that Miss Carter was
supposed to exactly resemble Lucy.
The resemblance must have been so
strong as to have deceived even the
eyes of love.
Needless Of Mrs. Gray's OBTAINING

the same mistake again.

again." he declared eagerly.
He sought to take her in his arms
but she skillfully evaded him, and a
voice from the platform cried out:
See here, Jack! l don't mind your
making love to Mabel if you think it's
me-but ! draw the line at proxy

hurried to her dressing room, while

Nurse Crops for Clover.

The agricultural world will be in
terested in noting the results of some
experiments being carried on this
summer by Professor Olin of the
Iowa Agricultural college. Mr.. DIN
has arranged with Mr.. Cook, the pro.
prietor of the Brookmont farms, near
Odebolt, Iowa, to seed 1920 acres
with clover with various nurse crops.
On part of this area clover was
seeded with oats at seeding time, on
another part with barley, and the
third part will be planted to corn, and
the clover will be sown' just ahead of
the cultivators the last time the corn
is cultivated. Mr.. Cook furnishes all
seed and labor, while the Iowa Expert
ment station supervises the work and
makes accurate observations on the
growth of the clover.

This morning she walked past him

The more Bennington thought it
over the more inexplicabble it became.
He and Lucy had been more than
friends for couple of years. She
had SO clearly shown her preference
for his society that none had sought
to dispute his position.
He could imagine no rival who
might have poisoned her mind against

Then he decided upon very foolish

His man was too we'll trained to en-
hibit any surprise when his master

Bennington turned the letters over
