Reinbeck, Nov. 13.---The telephone
Fight between the old company and a
rev has been carried to the courts
Of the county Claiming that their
rights are being trampled upon and
their lines in danger Of being injured
to such an extent as to impair the
service given patrons. the United Ex-
change Company Of Reinbeck has made
application for temporary Injunction
restraining the VOORHEES, cooperative
Company erecting and maintaining TEL
ephone lines along the streets and al
leys of Reinbeck. The application was
granted on the representation that in
Jury to property rights was about to
result If the company was not stopped
from further procedure in the con-
struction Of Its lines.
The petition filed recites that per-
mission was granted to the plaintiff
by the city Of Reinbeck In October,
1897, to occupy the streets and alleys
of the city, for the purpose OF con-
structing and maintaining telephone
lines as means of furnishing expedi-
elit communication to all parts of the
City and contiguous territory, This
tight has been held continuously stnd
without dispute up to and including
the present year, when on or about
October 2l,t 1907 the defendant COM
pany made application to enter the
city with its lines from VOORHEES,. The
application was rejected.
Notwithstanding the refusal the
VOORHEES, company is now represented
as having made effort to force It's
way into the city, claiming that there
is no adequate law by which the city
Can prevent entrance. Considerable
distance of streets have been occupied
by the company, and 1t now appears
the company not only proposes to en-
tec the city, but to occupy the streets
and alleys with q competitive line,
whereupon objection is registered by
the United Exchange Company. The
chjection is that the entrance OF the
VOORHEES, company means that lines
will be constructed parallel and cross
wise Of the present company wires
and that the wires will have the effect
to damage the service to patrons by
coming in contact in such manner that
the wires will be rendered less effec-
tive in their mission of carrying and
}rs n emitting Sound.

Hon. John Cownie, of the stata

cation OF the charge made in an east
ern magazine that cruelty is practiced
at the hospital for the insane at Mount
article is several years old and refers
to conditions that prevailed In the in
stitution in the old days of the trus-
tee system, when things were loose and
easy. There is no denying that there
was cruelty practiced In those days to
some extent. 1t is possible that some
is practiced now, but II the state
board of control can catch any one at
it or get any sufficient evidence to
warrant it. the employee will be dis
charged at least and punished IL the
evidence is sufficient to satisfy court
The anonymous article. however. states
that the writer has been employed as
a worker in eight or ten state institu
tons. This is on it's face evidence to
those acquainted with institution work
that the writer is an institution tramp.
There are scores of persons who trav-
ell about the country from one state
to another. They get em-
ployment for time but because Of
their restless, shiftless nature or be-
or lose their positions. The better class
of employees remain at one place. The
article In question appeared in Physi-
cal Culture, an eastern magazine, and
the editor In a note following the ar
ticle said that he .vouched for the truth
Of the article. The Associated Press
carried an item to the eff
feet that this editor was sentenced to
two years for sending obscene matter
thru the United States mails This
may interfere somewhat with the
board investigating the story.

While | know Of no plant that excels
alfalfa In vigor of growth after 1t Is
once established, it is extremely timld
about its association with other plants
in It's early life Weeds and foXtall
are its worst foes, and how to avoid
them or to reduce them to the mini
mum is the problem before the alfalfa
grower. 1t Is with this in view that |
the piece selected for seeding down
next fall should be upland naturally
well drained and fertile. If the piece
selected is land In wheat | should top
dress it during winter with all the
stable manure ! could possibly get on
it-not in great hunks but well distrib-
uted. After the wheat comes off in
June | should disk it twice, once each
way After the first shower the weeds
will begin TO appear, then disk again.
Keep this up until Sept /. Don't pillow
under any circumstances, but Kill all
the weed growth by surface cultiya-
ton. All this sounds like work, and
it is work. but the hest remunerated
work farmer ever did, About Sept. !,
If there be moisture enough for ger
mnation, sow twenty pounds of seed
per acre. Use a whoelharrow Seeder
and sow ten pounds each way. This

your harrow teeth and cover by going
over the field at least twice"
