City Council.


city council held a very warm ses-
sion last Monday night. Among
those who sweltered and stuck il
out until the bitter end were Mayor
Barr. and Aldermen Draper. Kirk
patrick. Daimler and Mapes. the
only quorum available as both Alder
men Phillips and Inge are in the
east tryingsto keep cool. A synop-
sis of the doings had and done Is as
follows:
A petition signed by J. NJ. Strong
ct al. requesting that Ninth street.
between Ration and Cirnarron
avenues be grader. on account Of
contemplated improvements. was
referred to the street and alley COM
mittee with power to act.
Residents of the Oteio addition
petitioned for the extension of the
water mains for distance of four
blocks. After due consideration it
was decided that two blocks would
be great sufficiency for the pres
ent. The city engineer was instruct
ed to figure the cost of installing a
six inch main for two blocks and to
estimate the probable revenue to be
derived from prospective water con
sumers in the territory TO be served
The council then lndulged in a
prolonged discussion as to the mer-
its and dement's of brick cross
walks versus cement crosswalks.
Some of the aldermen wanted brick
crosswalks and others wanted ce-
ment crosswalks. Cement cross
walks cost sixteen cents per square
foot and brick crosswalks cost
thirteen cents per square foot. the
difference in cost on one crosswalk
being about Sc The city engineer
was of the opinion that one material
was just as good as the other. the
only advantage in favor of cement
crosswalks being in the matter Of
uniformity where the.crosswalk con-
nected cement Sidewalk. A cement
Sidewalk is now-:being installed on
San Juan avenue and the aldermen
decided to make thorough inspec-
ton of this before deciding upon
anything definite in the matter. The
city engineer was also instructed to
make report in the matter. y.

So many women complain that the

arc attached to the cOrsets. tear out
the stockings. but there is q clever
woman who has found a way out of
the difficulty. She sews two bits Of
white tape to the top OF her stock

ly come in contact with the stocking.
She then remove the fasteners from
the garters and Uses, in their stead.
little pieces of ribbon which match the
color used in her corset cover. When
She puts on her stocking in the morn
ing she slips the ribbon in the loop
of the garter NJ then through the
tape in her stocking. tying the end in

Not only does this method save The
stockings and lengthen their period
of usefulness, but 1t makes a pretty
nnish far more dainty than the pat
ent fastener could possibly be.

NECESSITY ron 1--WE STOCK.
From the Chicago Live Stock World

The farmer who attempts to make a
success OF his business without the
combination OF live stock will have a.
Lard job on his hands. for cropping will
soil and he will soon find that his land
is almost worthless. The My way to
circumvent this. Is use commercial
fertilizers an's< IS is expensive. Better
far raise liys stock and all that the
farm will stand. Generally. 1t would be
OF grain to stock than to sell 1t on the
open market even at high prices. This
Is a year when the farmer is tempted to
refrain from feeding and to sell his
corn. h high price OF this cereal has
made feeding almost prohibit b and
why beef is 80 high. AS long as corn
is high there will be a scarcity Of good
2tock. for farmers will not be liberal
with 1t. Though top cattle are selling
at IS. those who market such steers
complain that 1t costs too much to
bring them up to that standard.
The Importance of a high degree of
soi! productiveness in u farm oper-
atoms cannot readily be over-esti-
mated. In all farming operations there
are certain fixed charges which must
be met with whether the yield is 20
bushels Of corr per acre or go bushels
on the same acre. The cost Of plow-
ing. narrowing. planting and %cultiva-
ton are practically the same, no mat
ter what the yield. The cost Of har-
vesting is less per bushel il the Weld
be large. We may say that it requires
a certain minimum yield of grain to
pay the expense of production. This
minimum cost will be about the same
whether the yield is large or small.
The excess above this amount, which
may be called the maintenance REQUIRE
ment, will represent profit. 1t is pos
stble for a man to farm land which is
SO poor that 1000 acres of it may he
required to net him a profit OF 81. 900.
It is equally true that a farm Of $50
acres may be so productive as to net
the owner $1,000. 1t Is, therefore. NOT
an idle statement that fertility Of the
land Is the greatest single factor in
agriculture.
