EARLY FLOWING.
It Is a Most Effective Method Of De.
stroylng Weeds.

1t has been demonstrated again and
again that early blowing is most
effective means of destroying weeds,
especially the perennials which are
propagated from roots that winter In
the soil rather than from seeds. The
wild artichoke has taken possession
OF many fields during the summer
where small grains were sowed last
spring. This Is due to the fact that
water has covered these low lands for
days, or even weeks, in some locali-
ties. which drowned or rather smoth-
cred, the grain and the artichokes
prospered under the conditions that
prevailed. The wild morning glory
and binder weed are on the increase
In many localities. These are serious
pests on rich soils that are subject to
overflow or standing water during the
growing season. A cultivated crop will
control these weed pests, but on ac-
count OF wet weather II has been al
most impossible to grow corn on low,
poorly drained lands during the past
few years.
The progressive farmer will make
special effort to pillow his fields
where weeds, such as we have men.
toned, are at home, just as soon as
the crop is taken from the land, says
the Northwestern Agriculturist. II
necessary NOV and burn the weeds,
however, a chain or wire attached to
the pillow beam and allowed TO drag in
the furrow will hold the growth down
until 1t is all covered with earth from
the plow. Many of the plows are now
provided with attachments for this
purpose.
Don't allow the tops of the weeds
to remain uncovered because they
will continue to grow and ripen their
roots for winter. The special advan-
tage gained from early blowing Is that
of destroying the growth of the top
before the roots, or tubers, are ma
tured sufficiently to carry them
through the winter. The wild arti.
choke Is quite effectually destroyed
where the land is plowed in August or
early In September. The tubers do
not mature until after the blossoms
fall. The stockman who is 80 fortu
nate as to have his fields fenced with
wire that will confine his pigs on the
land after 1t is plowed, will find them
industrious helpers In roofing out the
succulent tubers and Dubious growths
for food. They will go for them like
hungry pigs for corn. In the event OF
dry weather quack grass Is seriously
injured and may be killed by early
fall blowing. The furrow should be
thin and so turned that Il will lie
roughly In which position the air will
soon destroy the growth of both root
and branch. An occasional use OF the
spring tooth harrow, when the soil is
very dry will aid in killing quack grass
roots.
We are of the opinion that Il will
pay to SOW a pound or two OF dwarf
Essex rape seed per acre on the
early plowed fields for soil protection.
The live roots of the growing plants
Will appreciate available plant food
as 1t is liberated and the shade OF the
leaves will also keep the soil from
washing and blowing. Pillow the

possible this fall, and note the adyan.

Three years ago we induced the
Northwestern railroad to employ Mr..
ID. Ward King and spend three weeks
In going from county seat to county
seat In the muddiest part of their
muddy territory persuading farmers
to make road drags and use them for
the purpose of having better roads to
these towns. A great deal Of enthusi.
asm was aroused and wherever the
road drag was used as directed there
was n wonderful improvement in the
country roads. In some sections this
improvement has been continuously
maintained. In other sections the
zeal OF the farmer has slackened and
the roads, while not as bad as before,
are yet far from being what they
should and could be.

William S. Cowherd, who received a plu

candidate for governor of Missouri will have to
fight for his place on the ticket in the courts
of the state. Walter Ball, who landed second

placed before the prosecuting attorneys OF three
counties evidence tending to show that many
OF the ballots cast for Cowherd were fraudulent
One peculiar feature of the campaign which
closed with the primaries was the fact that
Cowherd secured his plurality In the three cities

other county in the entire state went heavily
against Cowherd, yet he piled up such enormous
majorities In the three cities named that he

What the benefciaries of the system of
rural free delivery think of it may be
judged from its extraordinary extension in
answer to persistent demand. Ten years
ago when the service was started SO car
riers were employed, at an expense of $14,-
$40, while at present there are 1852 car
riers, at an estimated expenditure of $780,
755,524.
What the government thinks of rural
free delivery may be gathered from the
recommendation of Fourth Assistant Post

livery be supplemented by a parcels post

TO DIRECT NEW THEATER

Donald Robertson, who is to be director OF

Chicago idea been an ardent supporter OF the
experiment, and 1t will be carried out upon his

There is little similarity between the new
theater project in New York and the municipal
playhouse In Chicago. The former is essentially
a private enterprise, founded by a group of
wealthy men who, seeing the need of an un.

! Nuns to Leave Maryland.
Baltimore SUM


The Dominican nuns who came to
Baltimore from France nearly six years
ago and bought land and a building at
Iryington to be used as a convent are
negotiating to sell their property, pre-
paratory to moving to some other part
of the United States.
The cause of their desire to leave
Maryland is the continued illness of
their superior, the Rev. Mother Rose OF
st Mary and six of the nuns. At the
convent yesterday it was said that
Mother Rose and the nuns have been
unable to become acclimated and have
been suffering almost continuously
since they left France, particularly in
the warm months
There are twenty-nine nuns In the
order here and most of them, it is said,
have not been in good health since
their arrival in this country. AT times
many more have been i'll than at pres
ent and the superior particularly, has
been confined to her bed for several
weeks at time. Their physician, ac-
cording to one of the nuns, advises that
they seek another climate, declaring
that their i'll health will continue SO
long as they remain.
The Dominicans are among those
who left France as a result of prosecu-
tions and the confiscation of church

Ill Sorts ofOpinions
Religion and Modern Life.

Religion ana WOOSTU -iiS'
Religion is the idealization of our
human interests, and therefore must
change as our needs change.
This was one of the theories adj
vanced by DIR. George B. Foster, of the
University of Chicago, in addressing
the League of Religious Fellowship at
the Woman's club yesterday. His sub
ject was 1.-THE Religion of Modern Life"
and he thoroughly vivisected modern
man in the course of his talk.
THE dogmas of the church have
ceased to be necessary or useful to
modern man" declared the professor.
He does not quite say that dogmas
are altogether erroneous, but that they
do not fit in with present day condi-
tions-are of no practical value to him.
Modern man has not reached this con-
clusion all at once, but it has been a
growth, and it has been accompanied
by much pain to himself, sorrow to
his friends and in many cases by &C.
clesiastical ostracism. Man would not
willingly suffer such pain as this I'M
less he was driven by a great convic-
ton"
Modern man, according to DR. Fos-
ter, while he realizes that religious
dogma is moribund in him. realizes
that it is necessary to people of the
| traditionalist school, and to them he
accords it, in the hope that it will be
outgrown At the same time, he asks
fellowship of all men.
Identity of opinion ought not to be
prerequisite to fellowship de-
clared the doctor. Let us not be bound
by the old time mistake that to be
good consists in walking a crack-my
crack Men can not be forced into re-
iigious belief, nor helped into it, any
more than you can aid the birth of a
chick by breaking the egg. Men must
be- permitted to grow into conviction
thru their own experience"
Historical authorities have been re-
tired as basis for religious belief.
according to DR.. Foster, in favor of
modern experience The modern spirit
of investigation was characterized as
being of the very essence of religion
and of God He thought it much bet
ter spirit for today than the ancient
custom of taking human belief from
some high authority, and said that
without such a spirit no modern uni
versty could exist.
The present labor movement was
held TO be an outgrowth of the new
spirit that recognizes man as man
and strives to accord him his dues 1t
is the repression of this spirit, he
thought, that is making toward an
archy, on the one hand and socialism
on the other
DIR. Foster sees the solution of mod
ern religious and economic questions
in merging of the Orient with the
Occdent, and thinks that the combined
spirit of two very different peoples
will produce race with all the good
and none of the bad qualities of both.

according to the United States courts.
However. If the divorce, criminal

The active principle of crime and

The RuGABoo OF DIVORCE.

Yesterday in Des Moines the district
court granted twenty-three divorces.
and some very good and readily
alarmed persons are ready to jump ID
the conclusion that the family and
marital relations generally are on the
broad highway to destruction and dis
solution. Twenty three divorces in one
day! What is the country coming to?
Well, for one thing. it was coming to
the Marshall county fair and a lot of
other Iowa fairs yesterday, when the
twenty three divorces were being
granted in Des Moines, hundreds OF
happy families, honest husbands and
faithful wives. u was coming down
town in Des Moines and every other
city in America, hustling for the price
Of responsibility and happiness, or
hurrying home before the children got
home from school and in time to have
Johns supper. or dinner, if he likes
to call it so. ready at six. Why, of
that population of $4,000 or $4,000 in
Des Moines, representing 10000 to 49,,
900 families only twenty three We're in
the divorce courts. Where two were
breaking 10000 were growing closer
together
There isn't much to arouse appre-
hension in this. There are less divorce
suits than burglaries, more murderous
assaults than petitions for divorce. We
are not convinced that anarchy must
rule because few forget the law and
we are still less to be convinced that
forgetfulness Of duty on the part Of
a few men and women forecasts de-
struction Of the family. abolition OF
marriage and the downfall of decency.
We are making too much fuss over
incompatibility and of outrageous
neglect of common decency. In large
number of cases the welfare Of society
and the individual demands divorce;
the others are simply the exception
that prove the rule and act as foil
for the almost universal success Of
marriage and family life.
One swallow does not make a sum
mer; one fool does not convict the
world of feeblemindedness one Or
twenty three divorces count much
against the millions Of homes, each a
center of safety and a unit of good
government and bulwark and out
post Of organized society. Let's re-
member this before we lapse into hyss-
terra over the state of society"
