"WIGS ON THE GREEN. .
Nesc Hau5n IriSRmen Threaten Dire
Things against McFaddem's Flats.

Nav Haven, April s ecia).-FolOwing the
refusal of Chief Wrinn. the newly created the
at1cal censor, to refuse a license to the per-
foTmallce known as "McFadden'S Flats" on the
ground that it was a caricature Of the Irish pen
pie. it is now said that II the play Is put on as
usual with the "red above the green" there will
be trouble state Senator James McGann, Mr..
Sullivan, County President John S. Mccarthy OF
the Ancient Order Of Hibernians and ex-State
Senator James P. Bree are the prime movers in
the attempt to have the show slowed down."
Tho Hibernians passed a resolution tonight
agreeing to boycott any theatre in which the
show appeared. The Mayor was informed that
unless he revokes the license the Hiberniars will
raid the theatre in a body. Mr. Sullivan said to-
dag:
AS I:.sh people we protest against such a
Caricature as the play called 'McFadden's Flats"
We have aDpea:ed to the chief OF police as law
respecting citizens should. and IL there is riot
on Monday night when this show is presented it
will not create any surprise There will be a big
hold the honor Of the Irish race. Under these
conditions the actors who wear REQ wigs above
green whiskers will be liab9 to stop a few
ancient eggs. and disorder Of more serious
nature is liable to occur.
LAST night an enthusiastic son Of Erin planted
himself in front of the "McFaddens Flats bill-
bo.rA opposite the postofHce and carefully
slasaed and pulled down most Of the posters ad-
ver4!3lng the shOG,
TIE fact that the ordinance creating the Office
of public theatrical censor contained a provision
permitting the chief of police, as censor. to del
egate his powers occasion to citizens has
brought from Corporation Counsel Daggett the
opinion that the ordinance is invalid. He doubts
whether such a censorship is within the law.
Acting this advice, Mayor Studley last night
vetoed the measure.
The Corporation Counsel also said that even
If this objection should prove unimpOrtant he
was doubtful whether any ordinance valid

police. final jurisdiction to the character OF
plays presented in the city. Mayor Studley will
call special meeting of the Board of Aldermen
to look into the question and redraft the ordi-
nance with view to making it valid.

WILSON MARSHALL ANGRY.
Says He Will Take Name Bridgeport from
Stern Of the Atlantic if Yacht Is Taxed.

Bridgeport. April 8 CSpeciaD. Wilson Marshall
the owner Of the yacht Atlantic, which won the
Kaiser's Cup last summer. threatens to paint
from the stern of the yacht the word Bridge
port. unless the Board of Relief takes the yacht
from the tax list. The tax levied by the Board
of Assessors a few months ago means a payment
of $775 on the Atlantic. and Mr.. Marshall en-
phaucally declares that he will not pay that tax
Mr.. Marshall advances two reasons why he
should not be made to pay tax the Atlantic
One of these is that the Atlantic has accom-
plished a great deal in advertising Bridgeport,
and the second is that the Atlantic cannot get
within three miles of Bridgeport. has never
been in Bridgeport HarbOr. and. this being the
case. he does not see how boat that cannot be
brought within three miles Of the city can be
taxed by the city for under the federal laws
boat three miles from shore is not in the juris-
diCton OF the United States. He believes that
the same rule ought to hold good in the case Of
the Atlantic and the city of Bridgeport.

Pumpkin Sugar In Iowa.

Sugar from pumpkins will be the
next source of wealth which will bt
developed in Iowa, for the authorities
at the agricultural college declare high
grade sugar will be made from them
by process even more simple than
that required to make 1t from beets.
Experiments have resulted In the pro
duction of species Of pumpkin which
contains per cent Of sugar, and 1t Is
the prediction that In three years the
sugar element. will be increased to i
per cent. This is equal 10 the quantity
of sugar found In the best variety OF
sugar beet. Because pumpkins are cas-
lily raised and tonnage may be pro
duced to the acre which will exceed
that of sugar beets the new sugar
pumpkin will open up valuable field
for the Iowa farmers. The pumpkins
may be planted in the cornfelds, ane

IRRIGATION PRACTICE.
New Land Requires More WAFER
Than Cultivated Fields.
BY SAMUEL FORTIER.

BY SAMUEL FURTHER
The subsoils of western lands when
first brought under irrigation contain
little moisture The most striking char-
acteristics OF these formations are their
great depths and the close similarity
which exists between the surface and
subsurface layers. Apart from their
darker color, due TO decayed vegetable
matter, there Is little TO distinguish top
soils from bottom soils, and the roots
of plants extend to great depth through
the latter. On account Of these pre-
vailing physical features large part
Of the water which is applied for the
first few seasons is absorbed. Cases
are common in which new land has alb
sorbed in one season quantity or wa
ter which would have covered the sur
face to a depth of six feet To claim
that this large volume correctly repre-
sents the duty for such land is a mis-
representation, because the open space
In the subsoil is gradually filled with
water and the ground water level In
time rises nearer the surface. 1t Is a
fact, however, that new land requires
much more water per acre than Old
cultivated fields, and crops are likely
to suffer if it is not supplied.
Good bitches and LateraIs.
Other conditions being similar, less
water will be used on farm which
has a good system of bitches and later
ais and a we'll cultivated, even surface.
The beginner is not always posted as
to the best way to lay out and build
farm bitches, and he may not possess
sufficient means to properly prepare his
fields for irrigation. These defects in
variably prove quite costly I'm the end
when measured in waste of water and
small yields. In an arid country thor
ough cultivation serves a double pur
, pose in that it increases the yield anC
prevents the escape -. TITO the
atmosphere. Grading or levei..., the
surface is even more important, since
it is difficult to apply water TO an I'm
even surface, the growth of the crop il
not uniform and the soil in the low
places is likely to be damaged by al
excess Of water.
Maturing Crops Under Irrigation.
The time necessary to mature plant
differs. Under favorable conditions ;
crop of alfalfa can be grown in les
than fifty days, crop of barley II
something over hundred days, Will
1t may require 100 days to ripen Ger
tain varieties of fruit. There is no
only a difference in the period o
growth, but in the number Of crop
grown in one season.

form powders once a day for two or
three days, and thereafter apply freely
only lard or vaseline every day. In other
cases one application of the iodoform
and daily applications of lard and
vaseline are all that is required. In
bad cases, especially where they do not
improve as rapidly as they should, give
internally as much as teaspoonful OF
vasellne containing a few drops OF
creosote or ten to thirty grains OF ep-
som salts in a tablespoonful Of water.
This may be given once per day or
once every other day. 1t usually pre-
vents intestinal infection or compllca-
tions.
In cases where roup predomlnates or
where the suborbital sinus becomes
filled with pus and the eye Is greatly
distended there are several lines OF
treatment that may be followed. In
the early stages apply sweet oil or
olive oil to the nostrils and If possible
inject some of this oil into the nasal
passages by using a small nozzle and
syringe. After injecting or applying
the oil apply pressure over the drstend
ed parts. and thus expel as much OF
the pus as possible. This may be re
peated twice per day.
