HOW TO HANDLE MANURE
II Should Be Gotten on to the Land as
Soon as Possible.

IL Is not a question Of saving an the
value Of the manure. In the nature of
things. that Is impossible. The best we
can do under the circumstances is the
question: Is II better TO let manure re-
main in the barnyard in large heaps
and haul IL out twice a year. spring
and fall. or is Il best to haul IL as fast
as made? What are the advantages
OF the latter system? We must re-
member that the manure is never so
rich in fertilizing value as when first
made. II must waste some OF its
value anyway but hauled out as fast
as made, IL wastes less than In any
other way. II piled in large heaps

recent experiments. is per cent. If

RACE WAR WITH COURT
WRlTS AS THE WEAPONS

THE injunction has been invoked i'm

10 restrain a negro from occupying a
house he purchased.
The suburb known as Bloomingdale
lying between the northern boundary
of the old city and soldiers home. was
several years ago subdivided. and long
rows Of houses erected for sale. The
purchasers were given a deed which
stipulated in one Of its clauses that
at no time should the property be
sold 10 a negro. One Of the original
purchasers sold his residence TO a
man who placed a second trust mort
gage on II.
The holder Of this second mortgage

on sale with a real estate firm which
disposed Of It 10 a negro. When the
sale became known to the household.

WOMAN BODY
FOUND IN LAKE
PLACE OF DEATH FEW FEET
FROM WHERE HOUND HAD
LOST TRAIL.

SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 2k-The
body OF Mrs. Bethel Pomeroy, wife OF
G. III. Pomeroy. a prominent lawyer
and capitalist, was found resting on
the bottom OF Lake washington, q few
feet from where a hound, which had
been used to find her, had lost the
trail The drowning Of Mrs Pomeroy
Is believed to have been accidental.
Mrs. Pomeroy left her husband with
a laughing reply to his request that
she put on an extra wrap. She was
bound for a neighboring house-boat,
where an entertainment was In pro-
gress. The husband was at the enter
tainment, but did not see his wife, al
though he says he thought he heard
her voice and that he thought inquir-
les as to her absence were intended
as q Joke. II was not until the next
day that search was made.
Pomeroy says he thought his wife
had gone to a sanatorium near by, az
she had frequently done before. No
report OF the absence was made TO the
authorities and every attempt to keep
the affair a secret was made. Pome-
roy formerly lived in San Franciscv.
and his wife's parents live there now.
