MUST HAVE PERMISSION
TO LAY CEMENT WALKS
Board of Public Works to Prosecute
Persons Who Acted Without
Authority

Acting on the advice of the city at
torney the board of public works will
begin the prosecution of persons who
have laid cement sidewalks and curbs
on the public streets without authority
of ordinance or a permit to do the
work.
Last week the city engineer reported
to the board of public works that a
number of such cases had been gn-
earthed by an inspector, and the board
asked the city attorney what could
be done about it. The city attorney
yesterday replied that work done in
the public streets without the authori-
cation of the council by ordinance and
without a permit was a misdemeanor
and that the guilty persons should be
prosecuted.
IT. Weisendanger is mentioned spe
cially in the city attorneys report as
having laid cement sidewalk at Es-
trella and Twenty-first streets with
out authority and he advised the board
to take the same action against Mr..
Weisendanger.

not gambling. Miklaushutz explained
that it is a game of cards such as Is
played by the natives of the country
from which he came and declared
there was no money at stake.
Miklaushutz was given scathlns

SUPERVISORS PUT OVER
ANOTHER JOKE AND BLAME
IT TO VOTING MACHINE

After failing to induce the city to
purchase the voting machines purchased
by the board of supervisors three years
ago and which have since held their
place in dusty corner of the county
warehouse, the board was given Its sec
ond setback yesterday in its efforts to
get rid of the machines with good
grace, when a letter was received from
the manufacturers of the machines de-
clining to purchase them back.
The plan now Is to unload them on
some misguided individual for use as
slot machines or to amuse the baby. To
carry out this plan the supervisors yes
terday ordered the clerk to advertise the
machines for sale to the highest bidder.
In the same advertisement bids also will
be asked for several yards of old car
pet and a strip of linoleum, thus mark
ing in the same notice of sale the ideas
of the supervisors, both as to extrav-
agance and economy.

Weedinq Before Seed Time.

A weed is plant out of place. Plants have a way of growing out of place, except those out of which we are able to secure profit. Along the roadside, the fence rows, the barn yards, in the orchard, every unculti- vated place about the farm produces weeds. Except that it looks nicer to get them down, cutting after seed has matured does no good
 We may say that it does no good to cut weeds, that there will be a growth of weeds there next year, just the same. This is not the case, if we will consistently cut them before they have chance to produce seed. Road sides may become set with grass in stead of weeds if we will only nov in time this year, and continue to now in time next year and perhaps the year after. Set it down in black on white-the time to do effective work in getting rid of weeds is before their seed time. This is right away, if not already too late.

Grandfather led the way into the sitting room and we all knelt down inSprayer.

EDUCATION VERY IMPORTANT
In Meetings of Union Best Methods of Planting and Culture Should
 Be Discussed.

The most important feature of the Farmers union is that of education. By education I do not mean book learning alone. Many man is fairly well edu- cated in his calling who cannot write or spell correctly. I know men who are good cotton raisers who cannot even write their own names. Educa- ton is knowledge, and knowledge is knowing how. That's the long and short of it. In the meetings of the unions the best methods of planting and culture will be discussed. In these discussions the man who succeeds should be heard from. He may have an awkward way of expressing him. self, but make him talk and he will tell you something that will help you. It is this kind of education that the farmer needs most, the knowledge of how to do it. It is not always the best talker who is the best farmer. The meetings of the local unions present the opportunity for an exchange of experiences. Some farmers may, and do excel in one or two things, while OLutIo holNV lIoiuS tt opCSiciIy ol oOliC- thing else. They exchange views and each has the benefit of the others eX- perience. Experience, as rule, is costly. If we can be correctly guided by the experience of others we save both time and expense. It is like man in a strange country coming to the forks of the road. Both may lead him to the point he wishes to reack, but one may be twice as far as the other, and with toll gates every mile. If some one comes along who has been over both roads he can advise him which to take. That is how we profit by the expert ence of others. This principle will ap- ply to all the features of the union. It is what is meant by the educational feature of it. We must profit by the ex- perience of others, and of the past w. s. Morgan.

LIKENED HERSELF. TO ELIJAH
Pious Old Lady Regarded Cats Act of Theft.

A reporter, during the Dayton cele- bration, condemned the numerous pilferers of Wright aeronautieal ideas.
 They pilfer so smugly, too,' the reporter said, "They pretend that the ideas they steal were born in their own brains years ago. Strange, though, isn't it, that you alone pat ented these ideas and put them to practical use."
 swered:
 They have indeed a righteous air, these pilferers. They actually believe, I am sure, that they have just claim to the ideas they filch They remind me of old Mrs. Harrington.
 "A neighbor of old Mrs. Harring- tons killed a fine pig one day. He cut it up and hung the pieces in his woodshed. Mrs. Harrington's cat climbed into the shed that night, stole a large pork chop and carried it home to her mistress

UNION FARMER TO DIVERSITY
Every Effort Should Be Made to Raise Everything That Is Needed
 for the Home.

To-day wheat is higher than at any other time in years. Corn is high and going still higher, and the farmer is now getting at least fifty cents per bushel for his corn at gathering time. Flour is selling for seven and eight dollars per barrel, and to the man who hath it not this is getting to be serious problem, says National Union Farmer. As usual, meat is high, and getting higher. Cotton is going to sell at a figure that will be most gratify- ing to the union farmer. It is gener- ally conceded that the southern farm- CT is going to diversity. Will you be one to stay in line? Because you have been raising cotton all of your life is no reason why you should keep eter- nally at it? Every effort should be made in every humble home to raise chickens for home use and markets, keep good garden throughout the season, providing it with vegetables to come in the fail and winter, such as parsnips, beets, turnips, peas, pota- toes, etc. Get rid of that raZor-back buGch of hogs and get blooded stock have an eye to progressiveness and business. It is just as cheap to raise a blooded hog as it is a scrub. Then actually see to it that you build smokehouSe in your own back yard in stead of permitting your hogs to go to the packing houses in Kansas City, St. Louis or Chicago, paying freight both ways, also smokeheuse charges and big profits. Stop all that unneces- sary, foolish expense at once and act with business brains. So long as you drive your hogs to these slaughtering pens that long will the meat trusts drive you to the slaughtering pens. It is bad to look upon this sad picture, but the saddest of all is the poor little helpless children and mothers must suffer with these heads of families, who have not yet opened their eyes to their great mistakes. Time after time have we called your attention to diver sity, live at home and not abroad, and We expect to keep it up until we are called off the stage of action.

Vegetable Compound has done Tor me during this trying period. Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffer- ing women I am willing to make my trouble public so you may publish this letter. ."-MRs. CHAs. BARCLAY, RED, ,Graniteville, Vt.
 No other medicine for woman's ills has received such widespread and un- qualified endorsement. No other med icine we know of has such a record of cures of female ills as has Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 For more than 30 years it has been curing female complaints such as inflammation, alteration, local weak nesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, indigestion and nervous prostration, and it is unequalled for carrying women safely through the period of change of life. It costs but little to try Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and, as Mrs Barclay says, it is ''worth moun- tains of gold to suffering women.

People Becoming Interested.

Evidence of the popular interest in the anti-consumption crusade is given in statement made by the National Association for the Study and Proven tion of Tuberculosis, to the effect that during the year ending August 31, nearly 100000 people have attended tuberculosis exhibitions in various parts of the country. Besides the three travelling tuberculosis exhibi tions of the national association, there are 2S exhibits of this kind through out the United States. Four years ago there were only three such dis plays in the entire country.

LAW TO EQUALIZE PRICES
State of Iowa Has Enacted One That Prohibits Discrimination and
 Farm Products.

The recent Iowa general assembly enacted a law prohibiting discrimina- tion in prices paid for dairy and gen. eral farm products. The primary ob- ject of the new statue is to prevent, for instance, centralized creamery paying higher prices for cream of the same grade and quality in localities where there is a local creamery than it does in sections where there Is no such competition. The law was made to cover the handling of not only dairy products but other farm products as well. The buying of poultry, eggs, or grain, for the purpose of sale or stor. age falls under the provisions of the act Discrimination in price for an H. legal purpose, viz, for the destroying of competition or the creating of a monopoly, is the specific thing aimed at This kind of discrimination has been altogether too frequent in the states also, says Farmers Review. Co., operative companies have, perhaps, been hit the hardest These local enterprises are not usually strong enough financially to combat the large and powerful corporation if a run on prices is demanded. Then, confidence in the local concerns is sometimes at fault There is no reason why body of farmers cannot successfully con- duct a cooperative business along the line they are especially interested in if they will lay aside petty jealousies and work together. It will be inter- esting to note the operation of the Iowa law.

LESSON IN NATURAL HISTORY
as Miss Patty Realized When the Goat Was Through.

Miss Patty Shepard of North Thir teenth street went to the country with party of friends on Memorial day They stopped at a farmhouse where some of the party are well known.
 Browsing about was an old goat When Miss Patty saw her the nanny was placidly nibbling at a few blades of grass. and she innocently thought that goats were strictly vegetarians On the lawn in front of the porch she had put her handsome new peach basket hat, trimmed with pretty ar tifeial roses, which she had got from the store the night before. The goat saw the hat and advanced joyfully to- ward it. Miss Patty laughed. sThe old thing thinks they're real roses, she laughed. Wont she be fooled when she smells them?"
 Everybody sat still to watch the goat smell the artificial flowers and walk away. But the goat fooled them
 The next week Miss Patty bought another hat.-Philadelphia Times.

Texas reports the largest acreage both this year and last, reaching this year 9,716,0O0 acres an increase over last year, though, as before said there is decrease in the general c~op
