About Fertilizers.

Recent reports OF observations, and
results from experiments, as SCI forth
in reports of the Government, does
not support the theory OF tho popular
fertilizer advertisements of today, to
double the quantity OF fertilizers and
reduce the acreage one half" But on
the other hand these reports show
that ut is noteworthy that in the last
decade, the increase IN the amount ex-
pended for fertilizers is not commen-
surate with the increased value of
crops grown"
Where formally the farmer spent o
large sum for fertliizera he now spends
less, and frequently raises a heavier
crop. In these cases, the farmers
have learned to use legumenous plants
inrutation and often larger yields in
proportion TO outlay tor fertilizers. In
some parts OF Alabama, Sonth Caro-
or of complete fertiliZers has 90 en-
Eiched the soil in potash and phos-
phoric acid, that only nitrogen and q
little lime are necessary TO give good

Fined For a Laugh.

Insulting behavior" is a very
elastic charge in Australia. 1t may
cover anything, from pitch and toss
to manslaughter. Its latest apph-
cation comes from Bendigo. In that
golden city, where the late Marquis
of Salisbury tried his luck as a dig
ger in 1852, the authorities of one
Of the churches decided to suppress
juvenile giggling. They introduced
a policeman in plain clothes, and he
detected a couple of small boys
laughing during the evening se1v-
ice. The boys were brought into
court on a charge of Insulting be-
havior" and fined 10 shillings each,
plus lis. Cd. costs. There are very
few of US who have not been guilty
of this crime at some period of our
Gves.-London Standard.

Hurled Bottle
Through Drum

Huntington, June 20-Satur-
day the Swallow & Markle shows
which exhibited here at the river
front last Monday night, met with
a rather unusual accident at Cat
lettsburg, near here, where they
were scheduled for an appearance
in the evening.
In the afternoon the usual
street parade was in progress.
When the procession reached a
point near the southern extremi-
ty of the city, a burgher took ex-
ceptions to the air the band was
playing, and gave vent to his in
dignation by hurting a beer bot
tie through the bass drum. This
unexpected assault stopped the
music and demoralized the parade.
The assailant calmly approached
the drummajor and asked the
damage. The price being fixed
at five dollars, the critic calmly
paid it cheerfully, saying at the
same time that his action was due
to the fact that the piece the band
was playing grated on his nerves,
and he took this course as the
quickest way to allay the agony.

Some Flower Names.

Who could guess that the dande-
lion was the "dent-de-lion," or lions
tooth; the tulip SO called because it
looks like a turban, and tulip was
another name for turban? The
beautiful giadiolus is a sword lily
"gladiolus in Latin means "a little
sword" 1t is so called from the
shape of it's leaves. The asphodel is
from the Greek word, meaning
"king's spear" The name daffodil
comes from "asphodel," and so
means the same thing.-St. Nicho-
las.

A Warning to Mothers.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather
of the summer months to guard again
st bowel troubles. AS a rule 1t is on
ly necessary to give the child a dose
of castor oil to correct any disorder
of the bowels. Do not use any substi-
tute but use the old fashioned castor
oil, and see that it is fresh, as rancid
oil nauseates and has a tendency to
grippe. If it does not check the bowels
give Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy and then a dose
Of castor oil, and the disease may be
checked in its incipiency and all dan
ger avoided. The castor oil and this
remedy should be procured at once
and kept ready for instant use as soon
as the first indication of any bowel
trouble appears. This is the most sue
cessful treatment known and may be
relied upon with implicit confidence
even In cases Of cholera infantum.

The ~Shingler's Side.
Editor Of Record:

Editor of Record:
1 wish to take exceptions to he
statement a by the local Carpen-
tiers and Joiners Union in the commnn
ication from that body published in
The Record Of August Is, 1905, in
which they refer to me as a "non-un-
ion" man.
1 have made a speciality of shing.
ing almost exclusively for the last
ten years. For three years before
coming to Roswell in December 1902,
I was a member of the Shinglsrs'
Protective Union, Local, No. 10,467,
of Seattle. Wash, chartered by the
American Federation of Labor. 1 was
in good standing with my union when
| came here and procured a clear
ance card, issued January 1, 1903.
1 have it yet, as the Central Trades
Council" of this place referred it to
the Carpenters and the latter refus-
ed to recognize it.
The professional shingler does not
use a single tool found in a carpen-
ters' kit. He uses spike Shoes" a
creepy box and a Ratchet gage. The
latter was invented by a shingler; the
others were adopted to accomplish re-
suits and with the rapidity acquired
by long practice. the professional
shingler is able to lay as many shin
giles as several carpenters working
the old way. The S%hinglers' Union
adopts a minimum scale of prices by
the square or thousands and a min
imum day wage; also an eight-hour
day, and it's members work only on
union jobs. Since coming to the Pee
os Valley, l have observed h rules
of my union, except that l have work
ed on non-union jobs. The action of
the Roswell carpenters compelled me
to do thai or quit the business.

ion are in conflict with their consti-

hire whom they please to work for
them-and we also recognize the
right of the carpenters to work for
whom and with whom they please.
The matter is purely one Of business
employees, and accordingly it is not
a matter for newspapers or the gen.
eral public to decide. Our observa-
ton of strikes is that there is nearly
always some right and some wrong
on both sides, but the parties inter
ested should settle it themselves.
