woman. but he soon saw large. muddy
boots protruding from under the skirt
He called the attention OF others 70 the

laughing This led Delmico to admit
that he was disguised. He explained his
attire by saying that he was on his way

INCREASING
SALARY

Washington Feb. s7.--There is a strong
probability that the senate will take the
initiative on the proposition to increase
20 sioooO the salary or the president Of

been talking about urging the Maynard
bill, nothing positive has been done by

Ing the salary OF the president to 800

representatives and senators at 5000. he
offered as an amendment 20 the Sundry

Stewart OF Nevada who cannot be sc-
cused OF self-interest for the reason that
he will retire from the senate on March 4
Sentiment in both houses and i'm both
parties IL undoubtedly in favor OF in
creasing the presidents salary, and what

give more money 10 congressman II is
generally believed in legislative circles
that IL a determined effort IL made this
week to secure action that part at least
OF the Maynard bill which relates 10 the

journment
Since presenting this measure" said
MrS Maynard yesterday. II have received
hundreds OF letters from every section
Of the country. Judging from them, all
the bomb throwers, Anarchists and dys-
peptics in the United States are opposed
TO the proposition 10 increase the presi-
dents salary
Some OF the letters are threatening
and abusive, while in others the sug-
sestion is made that n the presidents =
salary is increased II will he step in
the direction OF q monarchlcal form of

SOME SUGGESTIONS
FOR BERRY GROWERS

Canon berries do not reach the city
market in as good shape as they should.
One reason is they are probably at
times irrigated too much.
Many OF our growers are new people
and do not understand the irrigation
system, and some of the older growers
do not give it the attention it deserves.
The berries should be so planted and
cared for that in irrigsting the berry
does not get wet, All irrigsting
should be done after four o'clock in
the evening.

Berries should not be picked in the
heat of the day. All picking should be
done when possible before ten O'Clock
in the morning
Some growers do not give enough
care to their packing.

and his pack he can usually get a little
