LONG BEACH, Aug. 1O.-The Pacific
Electric company may refuse to pay into
the city Golfers the additional l per cent
of the gross receipts of the First street
line which City Attorney George Skinner
asserts is due. The company has paid
per cent of the receipts, but the city at
torney holds that 2 per cent must be PAID
according to the letter of the franchise.
Auditor Mulks has written the city at
torney that the demand for the payment
of the additional money has been re-
ferred to Attorney Dunn Of the company s
counsel.
The corporation points out that a state
law passed In 1906 made the rate one-half
of 2 per cent The franchise on First
street was granted in 1901. Hence the
muddle.

days, carried with it several variety
performances. In the company were
four actors who since have become lam

land Reed. At that time all four were
youngsters and were cast in minor
roles. Belasco did a "black-face" act.
The Fraynes were then known from
one end of the country to the other as
expert and daring rifle shots. Among
their acts was one in which the wife
took her stand against the back wall OF
the theater while the husband, firing as
rapidly as he could pull the trigger, out
lined her form on a screen with bullets.

DENVER GIRLS ADOPT

Special to The Herald.
DENVER, Aug. 1O.-Ever been In the
swim? If you haven't, you are classed as
a landlubber by the strenuous Denver
Girl This same Denver girl is Wiling TO
! do ANYTHING which is suggested to her,
or In other words, "she will try anything
once"
Last winter she pirouetted through all
sorts of folk dances at the Woman's clup,
whilefa teacher in abbreviated skirts IL
Iustrated the poetry of motion. Then
she wore her ankle in a sling and walked
on crutches after doing ten-mile stunts
of that perfectly fascinating" skating
rink. Next a physical culture teacher ar
rived In town, who had a splendid cure
for anything that annoyed or inconven-
fenced the girls. If you were tall, short
fat or thin, you could remedy the case by
rolling on the floor of the church parlor
or boudoir.
Swinnnin' Hole at Last
But at last the girls of Denver have re-
allied the joy of the "swimmin hole"
Not the kind of "swimmin' hole" which
is so we'll known to all small boys, but a
beautiful hole all white and gold and
shiny "fixins' " and, like everything else
at the Miss Wolcott school, this new
swimming pool leaves nothing to be de-
sired.
Miss Heath, the human fish, who is
very much at home in the water, Is
training the amphibious damsels to
tread water and dive in d manner that

Wear Baby Costumes
The cause of this deluge of ques-
tions is the Alice blue jumper, which

made just like the little jumpers you

he's making pies. The girls dispense
with hosiery and slippers, and grace

water. No covering is worn on the
head
The classes will be instructed from
until ~ o'clock every Wednesday and
Friday morning. 1t is rumored that
some of the girls who were really, truly
girls long years ago, are going to try
the exciting sport. For the present
however, the younger girls are the only
patrenesses of the pool.

DAIRY NOTES,

Keep your stables cleaned out direct
w to the field. For years the writer
has done all the work Of attending to
the stock and never allowed the manure
to accumulate from the stables to be
hauled in the busy days Of spring. The
only exception to this rule was where
there was grain that was useful to the
hogs and there was no hog tight field
that needed the fertilizer. If you do not
have a wagon load or a spreader load
each day, then pile it up back of the
stock until a load is ready then get
rid Of it for the last time. This may
seem strenuous cold days to the man
who is putting in the time and drawing
wages, but the farm owner who wishes
to succeed is willing to do strenuous
work.

Good seed alone will not make a crop.
Fertility and saving Of moisture are
necessary to make the crop. Large
yields cannot come from poor soil.
Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1907-02-01

The most trying thing in the dairy
business is buying good cows. There is
an urgent demand for COWS that will
do something. and a real good one sells
for more money than a fat steer.
Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1907-02-01

Glover seed is most o expensive to
SOW until soil conditions are right.
With plenty Of moisture a bushel Will
seed eight to ten acres. Spring seed
ing with oats seems most favorable.
Sow the oats early, narrowing the
ground well, and afterwards SOW the
clover seed broadcast and harrow
again.
