Graceful coatee of Minever.

A coatee of minever is one of fash
ions latest recruits. 1t is Of the short
sack persuasion called the pompa-
dour. To be speedily remarked is the
graceful line effected by the applied
collar which ends in froEt with
danglements of tassels and little
heads and tails of the white beastie,
the softening influence of white plisse
chiffon ruffles leading the eye to the
pretty sleeves. To be worn with this
is the minever toque, decked with
folds of azure miroir velvet and an
ostrich plume.

Conviction of Land Robbers,

After the people of the United States
have been robbed of millions of acres
there has at last been conviction OF
five land robbers in Oregon. In this
case, involving 5000 acres of timber
land, the fraud was accomplished with
more or less official connivance by
the use of fictitious names for land
entries. Two Of the convicted land
pirates were extensive timber operat
ors and hitherto very respectable
members of society.

ton of the new speaker Mr.. Stubs.
the new speaker, Mr.. Stubbs. the
house has progressed further dur.
ing the time it has been in session
than any of its predecessors. II was
organized Tuesday afternoon and the
governors message was read. In less
than twenty-four hours. when it again
met, Mr. Stubs announced two of his
committees and called for the intro
duction Of bills. The legislative
grind had begun in such short
time that the old members were I'M
able to understand it. They were un-
prepared for such rapid progress. They
had their bills in their pockets and
fifty-five went into the hopper in the
morning. The first bill was intro
duced by Mr.. Kirkland. 1t provided
for an amendment to the tax laws.
The house is unprepared to care for
these bills, as the standing committees
have not been named. Mr.. Stubs an
nounced the appointment of these COM

THE END OF A KANSAS 1RILk.
A Change Of Rules Prevents Unfair
Substitution of Bills,

Substitution of Bills.
TOPEKA.-One of the rules adopt
ed by the Kansas senate Tuesday
morning breaks up an old legislative
trick. Heretofore, the rule has been
that house bill in possession of the
senate could be substituted for a SEN
ate bill. This left it open for bill on
any subject to be substituted and
then, by changing the title. the bill
has the right-of-way. The same rule
was reported by the committee Tues.
day, but Senator Benedict of Wilson,
who has returned to the legislature
after decade, objected. He proposed
that the words ION the same subject"
be inserted. This was not agreeable
to the majority, but it was so logical
and fair that it could not be opposed,
and so Senator Benedict's amendment
was adopted.

Proposed Relief,

1t is merely proposed to restore, in

commission and exercised for nearly
ten years without harm to any one.
The courts can review and change
anything the commission can do under

commission can condemn a rate, but
that is all. 1t cannot say what the
new rate shall be, and its powers in
that respect are absurd.-Philadelp

VioieS oiue oiooths appear III early

Each pod bears several black and
white seed about the size of okra
seed. The pods burst readily, throw
ing seed some distance, making it
easy for the plant to reseed itself
one of its strong points. When the
hay is not cut at the proper time, or
is not grazed too closely, the seed
comes up in the autumn. l have
had fine volunteer crops to come
after cutting vetch hay, when the
plants had stood too long for the best
hay. Once 1 harvested four crops
of oats and vetch from one seeding
of vetch, besides getting a good
crop of cowpeas during the summer.
1t grows we'll on any fairly well
drained fertile soil, but best on rich
loan soils. 1t may be used as
cover crop on our cotton and tobacco
fields; as a pasture plant when sown
on Bermuda Grass sod, or planted
with oats, rye or barley; or it may
be made to produce good yield of
hay alone, or with oats or rye, on
lands that would otherwise remain
idle from September to May. Be-
sides being valuable plant of itself,
it possesses the property of other
legumes in increasing the fertility of
the soils, even if only the stubble is
left. When grown for hay, SOW
about one-half bushel oats or rye
with the vetch to support the long,
slender branches.
The seed or the soil should be
inoculated on most localities. The
! land should be well prepared to 6
inches deep. Scatter 200 to 400
pounds of acid phosphate and 100 to
200 of kainit, and harrow we'll. If
for hay, broadcast the seed at rate of
bushel vetch and one-half bushel
oats or rye per acre; if for pasture,
bushels rye or oats and possibly
less vetch, and harrow in to depth of
to 3 inches. Sow from September
to October k15, preferably during
September. Sowp alone, or with
oats orbrye, it will yield l to 8 tons
per acre, depending on fertility of
soil and condition of climate.
Since vetch stems are fibrous and
not woody, most of them are eaten
by animals when properly cured.
When grown alone the long tangled
vines give some trouble in moving.
Sowing with oats or rye prevents
this. After being cut let the bay
have as little sun as possible to cure
it properly, as SUMS rays whiten the
plants, harden the stems and cause
leaves to drop.
