Proper lime to PicW Land.

The proper time to plow land is
when it is just moist enough to break
up mellow, neither wet enough to leave
moldboard nor dry enough to break up
in large clods, or, as the southern
farmer puts it, when the soil has Il
good season in it. If continued rain
follows wet plowing, little harm fol
lows, but hot, dry winds would soon
leave only mass of unmanageable
clods. In spring and midsummer plow-
Ing particularly it is of the utmost i'm
portance to run the harrow immediate
~ after the plow. This prevents the
formation of clods.-W. J. Spillman.

Missouri and Good Roads.

There are $4,000 miles of roads in
Missouri. On 10 per cent of the mile
age, however, is carried so per cent of
the business transported. While all
roads need to be improved, the largest
need is OF course upon the main trav-
eled highways, says the Motor News.
The cost of good roads was estimated
at the Chillicothe convention different
ly ly different speakers. Largely it
was q question of material available
N the various localities. From Boone
county came a report that gravel roads
were under construction at $1,1O0 a
mile. This was 4 conservative esti-
mate After dirt road had been put
In wei graded condition it could be
kept i'm good condition, it was demon
strtttl by the use OF tue drag at
practically normal expense. 1t is not
to be wondered at, therefore, with its
aemaul for new constitution and for
the training of good engineers, that
the convention adopted resolution
favorng legislation looking toward
the more general employment Of the
drag. The best road material" it
was decided, was men ana money,
cash taxes and competent engineers"

planning to follow up the Chillicothe
convention with other conventions in

ROAD IMPROVEMENT.
Why the City Resident Gains as
Much as the Farmer.
BAD ROADS AFFECT MARKET.
Products That Would Reach the Cities
if the Highways Were Good Are Held
Back and Go into the Hands of the
Speculator.

In many respects there is Il certain
amount of crudencsS in the different
phases Of our physical condition. This
Is more apparent in our country roads
than almost any other. says the Motor
News. The system of road building
has been faulty rs well rs costly
Much expense has been put upon the
common roads year after year, and
still there are seasons when most roads
are in an unfit condition for general
purposes. This is not the fault of pur-
pose hut Of mode of treatment. Much
OF course is due to the newness of the
country and the constant demand for
labor ANA cost in making farms, build
ing bridges and otherwise attending to
what may properly be regarded Of
prime Importance. AS the country ad-
vanccs III other respects the necessity
for good roads becomes more insistent.
A few thoughts upon this subject
from prominent citizen of Michigan
MAJ not be amisS: IF the common
roads IF the country were brought to
condition that would enable farmers
to market their products at all seasons
of the year. the cost of living in town
and city would be greatly lessened,
and discomfort among laboring people
and the operatives of industrial con-
Germs would largely decrease if it did
not entirely disappear. Why and how
are the two questions which must be
answered.
"Tresent road conditions compel
Farmers to rush their products to mar
ket as soon as harvested and when
roads are ut their best, since by wait
ing a convenient time they may not
get there at all because of bad roads.
This naturally congests the market,
forcing low prices, to the great detri-
ment of the producer and without ap-
probable benefit to the consumer, be-
cause the average family in town or
sity buys only in small quantities at one
time. say days or a weeks supply.
What is the result?
"The Spectator, finding prices low
and knowing that in little while the
bad roads season will be on, when
competing products will be kept from
the trade centers. buys up the surplus
and stores it away for the day of ne
eessity. when he can demand and re-
eeive his own price for his holdings
the stuff for which men toll, which
they are compelled to have at what
ever cost. And when the citizen In
townsville mechanic and operative Of
shops and factory-is forced in winter
and spring to pay exorbitant prices for
those articles of household necessity
which went begging for buyers at low
prices the preceding fall he figures the
increased cost of living in comparison
and grows restless and discontinued.
The resident of the city is the gamer
by good roads just as much as the
farmer

DEUTSCHLAND STILL QUEEN

New York, Sept. 13.-Amid the
screech and din raised by hundreds of
river and ocean craft assembled as a
reception body, the giant turbiner Lusi-
tania of the Cunard line steamed into
port on it's maiden voyage, and was
warped into its dock about noon today,
with new record of five days and if
ty-four minutes between Queenstown,
and New York.
The big ship left Queenstown, the
nearest transatlantic port to New
York. at 1910 p. m. Sunday and arriv ed
at the Sandy Hook lightship at sos
a. m. today making the trip in six
hours and twenty minutes better time
than the previous Queenstown New
York record of hve days, seven hours
and twenty-three minutes held by the
Lucania of the same line.
To Make Record Later.
The Lusitania failed to lower the
hourly speed average of 1858 knots
made by the Kaiser Wilhelm II of the
North German Lloyd line, though it
covered the distance between ports in
an average of 23.01 knots, which is a
record for maiden voyages. Captain
Watt said that when the time comes
for record making. after the machinery
is in thorough order, the Lusitania will
be the empress of the seas.
The Lucania, also of the Cunard
line. and the previous record holder,
which started TO pace the Lusitania
with fifteen minutes advantage at
Queenstown. reached Sandy Hook lar
at 9 o'clock tonight, thirteen hours be-
hind the new ship.

Chicago, Sept. 14.-Paul o. Stems
land. convicted bank wrecker, will have
to serve seven years eight months and
a few days more in the Joliet peniten-
tiary, according to a decision which
was handed down by the state board
of pardons yesterday.
Stensland appeared in person before
the members of the board Not one
other person appeared in his behalf
His daughter, Mrs. Inga Sandberg, was
not at the penitentiary. Neither was
his son, Theodore Stensland, or his at
torneys.
Through the subtle undercurrent of
news transmission which is in operation
In all penal institutions in the country
Stensland was made acquainted with
the fact that his move for liberty had
failed. The decision had not been
given to the reporters over fifteen min
utes before Stensland knew that the
plans of his friends had failed. When
he realized that he would have to serve
4 his full term of fourteen years, less
time deducted for good behavior, his
shoulders dropped still lower and as
he walked out into the penitentiary
yard, where the bright sun was shin
ing. he stumbled slightly, then sun
denly held himself erect and walked
to the library building. where he is
employed as a messenger.
Cashier Henry w. Hering's name was
sent in to the board also, as he is eli
gible to parole. and his application
was returned without discussion.
In making public the facts in the
Stensland case, the members of the
board departed from their usual rule.
but Chairman E. A. Snively said that
as the public was greatly interested,
the decision would be made public at
once.
Beyond the formal typewriter state

Of but two persons, as Commissioner Of
Public Works John J. Hanberg, the
third member, has resigned, refused TO

Did Stensland make his health a
basis for a plea for liberation Mr.
Snively was asked.
Il won't be put on the witness stand
The statement that the board has is
sued is sufficient" was the answer.
However, it was learned that two
physicians who had examined stems
land at the request of his daughter had
submitted opinions in which they
stated that unless Stensland was re-
leased he would die in prison within
a short time. In contradiction OF this
was the statement Of Warden Murphy
and the prison physician. DR.. Fletcher
that Stensland was in as good health
as he was the day he first entered the
prison doors.

CHALLENGE FOR SHARP
Senator Invited to Combat
With Histories of Ma
tons as Weapons.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept 14.-Unless the
plans go askew it will be left TO a
learned board of university professors
to decide by an academic examination
what the answer is to two great ques-
tions which for the time being have
driven politics into the background in
this part of the country. The Ques-
lions are:
IS "Tappy" ignorant?
Is Williams a "whiskey soak?
The "Tappy" of the first question
represents Sidney Caesar Tapp. editor
of the American Republic. and the
Williams of the second represents the
newly elected senator from Mississippi
and democratic leader in the lower
house of congress.
Williams has declared "Tappy is
ignorant" and Tapp has retorted
Williams is a whiskey soak
Intellectual Duel to Decide.
Arguments for and against each
proposition have been thrown around in
hot letters and editorials for some
time, until Editor Tapp has declared to
settle the question of his ignorance or
erudition. and likewise that of Mr..
Williams. by conclusive test of
SCQOldTSHlps
Today he formally challenged the
new senator to compete in an exam
nation with him on either the prin-
cfples of American government, the
history of England. the history of
Greece. or Rome. or any other old his
tory that living man has heard about.
Tapp stipulates that a board of pro-
fessors from Harvard, Princeton, and
Yale shall preside at the examination
and act as judges in the intellectual
duel.
Slur on ErudItion AnnOys.
Tapp in q recent editorial described
John Sharp Williams as a ''Whiskey
soak" The epithet angered friends OF
Williams in Mississippi and they be
gan writing letters to Tapp in which
he was called a contemplate cur
and charge was made that he had
never been to college. This latter
charge greatly annoyed Tapp. who
says he has a college diploma and is
as erudite as they make them outside
Of Boston.
Tapp recently came into prominence
by alleging that the trusts wanted to
assassfnate him because of his edi-
torials against their methods.
