ROOTED THE PAVE.
Cottonwood Growth Too Strong
for Highway Bricks.

On one street in the southern part of
the city there is a row of cottonwoods
which have cost the of the
property a good deal of money at differ
ent times in the past twenty years for
repairs made to the pavement, says the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat. The COTTON
woods are now large trees, between
forty and fifty feet high, and the prop
erty owners are very proud of them,
as they nave reason to be. The only
cause of complaint regarding them is
the fact that they are continually push
ing up the pavement. Their roots are
rot only long, but thick, and are
steadily increasing in size. AS they
grow they push the bricks up out of the
horizontal, until a continuous line OF
appraised bricks across the pavement
shows the course taken by every large
root. In one place the roo grew from
the tree straight to the middle of the
pavement, then. for some mysterious
reason, turned directly to the south
and took its course right down the mid
die of the pavement, raising the bricks
as it went. Every two or three years
it becomes necessary to relay a portion
of the pavement and the work is done

been made e by the growing
roots, taking out the sand underneath
then laying the bricks fiat again. Ir
one place a thick graniloid walk wa:
substituted for the bricks in the hope
that there would be no further trouble
but in less than three years a large
root had cracked the graniloid and
pushed it up in a ridge, just as tbs
bricks had been served.
Tree experts and persons familiar
with the growth and development OF
plants say hat root growth follows tbs
line Of least resistance, and hat wher
a growing root meets even a slight OBJ
stacle 1t turns n goes around, rather
than attempt to force a passags
through. No doubt in man cases the
statement is correct, but h growth
of these cottonwoods furnishes a direci
contradiction. for in spite of h weigh

Morocco. Most of it from
France. The popular package is the
hard cone-shaped loaf. which is sold at
about $3.50 per 100 kilos (220 %pounds),
c. /. f. Tangier. Sugar in bulk is
shipped in bags weighing 20 kilos each.
The head of one firm in Tangier told
the writer that last year he handled
over 50. 600, 5000 worth of sugar. The
sugar is very white and seems to be a
coed refined grade. A market might
be created here for American yellow
clarified sugar. if it could be introduced
at a sufficiently low price to offset the
difference in quality. The Moors seem
to be fond of sweets, and nc sugar is
made here.
Most of the land is very rich, but
only about 90 per cent. of the arabic
land is now being cultivated. OF some
things three crops a year can be raised
and of many others two crops a year.
By treaty, foreigners have the right to
buy land anywhere in Morocco provid-
ed the purchase has the sanction of
the local governor. This a been un-
certain and possibly hard to obtain,
but by the treaty of Algeciras, 1905,
foreigners have the right to buy land
within 10 miles of every seaport. Such
purchases are not to be taxed by the
Sultan. Town taxes can be imposed by
the civic authorities for sanitary pur-
poses, maintenance of the streets, etc.
Around Tangier there has been con-
siderable speculation in property since
the treaty of Algeciras. European syn
dicates, mostly French and German,
nave bought up considerable property,
and land values are much higher than
formerly. As a general estimate 1t
may be said that desirable land within
about five miles of Tangier a be
bought at $50 per hectare Zone hectare
-2.47 acres). Large land purchases by
foreign companies, that have carefully
investigated conditions, indicate that
they have considerable confidence in
the future of Morocco and of this port.
1t seems reasonably certain that Tan
gier is destined to be a large port, do
ing an immense business with the in
terror and with foreign countries.

PRINTING THE TRUTH"

A story is going the rounds of the
press relative ia an Indiana editor
who attempted to tell the absolute
truth in his paper in reproducing
the news of the day. 1t is related
of him that he was subsequently
invited to leave the town.
Here is given a few of the items
the Indiana scribe is said to have
published:
John Benin, the LATEST merchant
in town, made trip to Bellyille.
John Doyle, our groceryman, is
doing poor business. His store is
dirty and dusty and noxiously obi
ferrous. How can he expect to do
much?
REV. Styx preached last Sunday
on Charity. The sermon was punk.
Dave Shunkey died at his home
in this place. The doctor gave it out
as heart failure. The fact is he was
drunk and whiskey killed him.
married, Miss Sylvia Rhodau
and James Canhan, last Saturday at
the Baptist parsonage. The bride
is a very ordinary town girl who
dosen't know any more about cook
ing than a rabbit and never helped
her mother more than three days in
her life. She is not beauty by no
means, and has a gait like a fat
duck. The groom is a we'll known
up-to-date loafer. He's been living
off the old folks all his life and
dosen't amount to shucks. They
will have hard life. "-Ex.

cAUSTIC COMMENT.
La. G. Rutledge.l

Our better half has gone for a
visit to her parental home; and we
fully agree with the editor of the
Ketchikan Daily Miner, who says
of his wife's going:
Our wife is gone. Gone to visit
our mother-in-law. Gone back to
the old home and the real cream.
Back to the old oaken bucket and
the mud pies of memory. We are
not saying this to make other men
envious whose wives are not gone.
But it is a sort of whistle to keep
our courage up. For a long time
the opportunity to hang out all
night and make monkey of our
selves has looked good.
Now, with no restraint on our
conduct, no fearful wife waiting to
throw her hooks into our hair, no
one to lie to, nobody to pacify with
artful inventions, no person to care
whoop whether you 90 bughouse or
not, now that the very hour and
moment is pregnant with witchery
and our horoscope is psychologically
correct for a riotous period of
debauchey, we get sleepy at $3.50
and NOPE off to bed like a a mollusk.
It's enough to drive an ostenta-
tious drunkard to the Kelley insti-
tute. Bourbon has lost its charms
and highbaIls are a mockery. We
do not want to play poker or lick up
suds or do any of the hundred dis
reputable things that a few days ago
seemed so enhancing, If things
had PANIED out as anticipated we
would be an actor in the jollifcation
drama instead of its playwright"

tenant James N. Sutton of the United
States marine corps, which verdict
has been approved by the judge advo-
cate general of the navy and by Beck
man Winthrop, assistant and acting
secretary of the navy. The court also
finds:
UtIey and Others Criticised.
That Lieutenant Utley failed in his
duty as senior officer present, under
article 266, United States navy regula-
tons, 1907, in permitting Lieutenant
Sutton to run away and arm himself
instead Of calling on those present for
assistance and following Lieutenant
Sutton, preventing his arming himself,
by force if necessary, and turning him
! over to the custody of the officer of
the day.
That Lieutenant Bevan, officer of
the guard, failed in his duty as an
officer of the guard in not disarming
! Lieutenant Sutton by force while in
front of his tSutton's) tent.
That Lieutenant Willing, the officer
of the day, failed in his duty as officer
of the day in not Immediately assist
ing by force in helping to disarm Lieu
tenant Sutton when he arrived on the
scene before the fatal shot was fired.
That the charges Of Willful murder
| and conspiracy to conceal it made by
the complainant, Mrs. Sutton, mother
OF Lieutenant Sutton, are purely mag
| mary and unsupported by even a
shadow of evidence, truth or reason.
The court recommends, however,
that in view of the youth and decided
| inexperience of Lieutenants Utley,
| Willing and Bevan at the time and of
the altogether unusual conditions of
excitement, the threats and danger
! during the aforementioned fray, that
! no further proceedings be taken.

which he says he concurs in the ma
jority report and, in addition, he is of
the opinion that Lieutenants Utley,
Adams, Osterman, Willing and Bevan

edge of their duties and obligations as
! officers holding commissions in the
marine corps and the testimony con-
| corning the whole deplorable affair in
| dicates a state of discipline then ex-
listing in the marine school of appli-
| cation discreditable to the service and
| argues strongly against the practice
| of commissioning and putting into pc.
| sitions of responsibility young men
without proper previous training. He
is also of the opinion that Lieuten-
ants Willing, Bevan and Utley should
| have been brought to trial at the time
| for neglect Of duty and Lieutenants
! Adams and Osterman should have re-
! ceived milder punishments for engag

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they caunot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness. and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infamed condition Of the mucus lining
of the Eustachian Tube When this tube is
inf1amed you have rambling sound or
Imperfect hearing. and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result. and unless the
infiamati can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition. hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by Catarrh. which is nothing but
