Ue experienced farmer
has learned that some
grains require far differ
ent soil than others ;
some crops need differ
enthandling than others.
He knows that a great
deal depends upon right
planting at the right
time, and that the soil
must be kept enriched.
No use of complaining
in summer about a mis-
take made in the spring.
Decide before the seed
is planted.
T6e best time to RENE

fore the evil is too deep

The city council met last night IN
regular session with Mayor Hinkle
in the chair. Some difficulty was ex
perienced in securing a quorum, the
session beginning after eight o'clock
Before the session ended all had
been recorded present except Parsons
and Whiteman.
The matter Of bill of Lib Rain
bolt against the city for boarding
pauper was referred to the Poor and
Pauper Committee to report Friday
night. Walker Brothers, Stringfeliow
Tannehill, and J. NJ Jump made
applications for building and repair
Yermits. As there was doubt as to
whether the granting of these per
mits would conflict with the fire or
dinance, the matter was referred 10
the Fire Committee to report Friday
night. The matter of completing The
contract and passing on the bond of
Bud Wilson who secured the contract
for hauling gravel at 58c per cubic
yard was referred to the Street and
Alley Committee.
J. P. Church introduced Ordinance
No. 224 and it was put on it's first
reading. This ordinance fixes a pen
atty on minors for entering saloons
and places where liquor is Sold The
ordinance is a good one. The city al
ready has an ordinance fining saloon
keepers for allowing minors to enter
their places, and it is only fair that
the fine should work both ways.
The City Engineer was ordered to
put up the remaining street signs
necessary in accordance with the Ios
tai regulations. There are about 40
signs to be placed in position The
sign selected is a metallic one, and
can be procured at a cost Of csc
each. When these are put up the city
will have met all the government re-
quirements
The City Attorney was ordered to
proceed at once against the owners
of open bitches throughout the city.
An injunction will be asked of the
court to restrain all such owners
from allowing any more water to Ell
ter these bitches until they are prop
erly tiled and put in sanitary condi
tion, as at present they are men
