see no objection to this method. We
would advise that you follow shallow
cultivation; that is do not pillow deeply
so as TO cut and destroy the corn roots.
For this reason we would suggest that
you use a cultivator of the Planet. Jr
type, or one of the two-horse ridinS
cultivators. as the Kraus. Avery and the
Deere. There are also other good makes
of cultivators of this type. One of the
important things is to cultivate the land
rather frequently; that is, wherever q
crust forms on the surface run over the
ground so as 10 break the crust and hold
the moisture I'm the soil which is essential
I'm dissolving the plant food and bring
ing it i'm contact with the roots of the
plants.
You are acting wisely in using an addi-
tional application of fertilizer, as the
amount put on the corn was rather small,
according to our way of looking at the
proposition. We can see no reason from
the description of your land why you
should use so much additional potash, es-
peclally If you propose to use the muri-
ate. we would think it better to put on.
say 500 to 400 pounds of your 1888 fertil-
izer per acre without any additional pot
ash, rather than to put on 200 pounds of
the mixture you have used with 90
pounds of potash. We think by following
persistent shallow surface cultivation
and using the additional fertilizer any
time within the next thirty days as q side
application that you should be able to
raise twenty bushels of corn per acre UNI
less the season is unfavorable. If you
have put your corn in rows four feeS
apart. we do not think planting Is inches
in the drill is too close.

proximate yield of % bushels per acre, or
80 bushels all told. and there should
be available from this crop about 30

half per acre. Fifty acres of good ber-
muda sod will be needed to furnish the
summer grazing, and after the corn Is
harvested the land should be put in oats

production. When the oats and vetch
come of, the land could be replanted
TO corn, but il would be much better
practice to grow cowpeas for hay. or
better still, we would divide the area

This would give approximately 145
acres Of land to cultivate each year and
would provide an abundance of feed for
the herd of cows. the work stock, and

Barry Wright, representative-elect from
Floyd county, claims Atlanta as his birth
place. He was born here at the home Of
his grandfather, Hon. W. A. Moore, in
1883.
Representative Wright is the son of
Hon. Seaborn Wright. the famous prohi-
bition orator, and Mrs. Annie Moore
Wright. He is distinguished by many of
the characteristics that have made his ia
Their a national figure. and adds to these
hereditary attachments a depth of reading
and study and an experience in law and
politics rarely found among men of his
age.
The early years of his life were spent
on his fathers farm in Floyd county and
he was educated in the public schools Of
Rome. He entered the University of
Georgia as a member of the class of 1902
but did not complete the academic
course, and left college to take up the
study of law in his fathers office. He
was admitted to the bar in 1900. and is at
present the junior member of the firm of
Seaborn & Barry Wright. For the last
five years he has been engaged on one
side or the other of practically all the
important litigation in this county and
circuit. He has made an especially envia-
BILE record in criminal practice.
Representative Wright naturally grew
up with an interest and talent for po-
litical life, but the office of representative
is the first elective position he has ever
held. For four years he has been chair
man of the Democratic executive commit
tee of Floyd county. He has devoted con-
siderable attention to the military, and
was captain of Company l of the Fifth
regiment for three years. During his
term of service, the company saw riot du-
~ in
taincy he was appointed assistant judge
advocate with the rank of major and la
ter was appointed judge advocate with
the rank of colonel by Gov. Hoke Smith,
but found it impossible to serve. He is a
member of the Masonic fraternity,
knights Templar and the Shrine, and his
services are frequently in demand as an
orator at Masonic banquets and celebra-
tons.

CHICAGO WOMAN DOES
REGULAR POLICE DUTY

CHICAGO, May 12.-Chicago's first po-
lice woman is Miss Josie z. sullivan
She is a special" and has all the pow

Her beat is limited TO the State street

after he had received a legal opinion
from Corporation Counsel Brundage that
her appointment was all right. Her prin-

Miss Sullivan is provided with star,
whistle and patrol box key.
When Chief Shippey asked Mr.. Brund-
age for an opinion on the appointment OF
a woman as a member of the department.,
he received a reply that should bring JOY
to the heart of every suffragist. Some OF
the points he decided were:
I'm construction OF statutes and ordi-
nance, words imputing masculine gender
may be applied to females.
mo persons shall be debarred from any
position, professional or. private except
military, on account of sex. providing
that this does not affect the eligibility %
any person to an elective Office.
This proviso contemplates that women
as well as men can serve in appointive
offices.
Women have been declared eligible to
the Office Of superintendent of public In
struction, master in chancery, attorney
at law and others.
There is no express constitutional dis
qualification of females. no affirmative
statement of qualifications which would
exclude them, and there is nothing IN
the duties imposed by statute law or city
ordinance upon a police officer which
would imply the necessity or intended exc
clusion of either sex"

Correcting a Depraved Taste

c. L., Andalusia. Ala. writes 1 have
a mule that ticks herself and eats trash
and hair and dirt. Please tell me what is
the cause.
You should examine your animal very
carefully and see if IL is infested with
fleas or lice. This may be the cause of
the licking to which you refer. If you
find any evidence Of these. insects wash
the animal very thoroughly with a solu-
ton OF one part of creolin to 80 parts of
water. Or you may use tar soap with
warm water. The lather should be al
lowed to remain on the animal for at
least ten minutes. You might also find
insect powder helpful. In case there is
no evidence of infestation with these in
sect pests, the trouble is probably due
to the presence of intestinal worms. An
finals so affected Zen have a capricious
appetite, such as you describe, and the
treatment for worms will not prove inju-
rious but probably helpful, as the animal
is likely in a debilitated and rundown
condition.
The tendency to eat trash and other
materials is probably due to a desire for
salt which should be put where the ami
NAL can get at II at will. Care should be
taken to see that the animal does not
eat too much salt If it has not had any

which should be given on an empty stom-

remedy and will not blister the mouth.
These doses should be given once daily

Handling a BaIky Horse

would like to know how to make a four
year-old mare single-foot or some other
riding gait. She is a good trotter and
that is all the gait she has. Also what
can be done for a horse that balks?
1t is a difficult matter to make some
animals acquire a variety Of gaits. 1t
depends a good deal on their breeding and
their natural inclination. Some animals
will take up a new gait very readily, while
with others It is almost impossible to train
them to do more than trot or lope. The
best suggestion we can offer is to work
constantly with your mare and exercising
her so as to prevent her from trotting
under the saddle as much as possible.
This will tend to force her into other
gaits.
The treatment of balky horse is a Sc
rious problem, as the trouble is either due
to bad handling or to a vicious DISPOSE
ton. Sometimes 1t is a combination of
both. Many balky animals are exceeding
ly nervous in their temperament, and an
attempt to overcome the trouble by whip
ping is often the worst practice that could
be followed. Nothing should be done to
irritate the horse and the trainer should
be very quiet in all his movements. If
whipping is to be done it should be Sc
we're, but it should be done with discre-
ton. Very often If a horse that balks is
allowed to stand quietly until the nervous
ness passes away. he will start of his own
accord. Attracting his attention by giving
tidbits or adjusting the harness will often
prove effective. Where horses balk or
throw themselves it is often good prac-
tice to confine them so they can not get
away. A hose turned into the mouth
will often make them go. In the absence
of a hose water may be dashed on 1t
from pail. AS a rule. coaxing will prove
more effective with a balky horse than
abuse.

Rumor Hadley May
Resign to Accept
Federal Judgeship
Report at Jefferson City is Renewed
on Authority of Missouri Con-
gresham Not Named.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, March Ca
renewal of the report that Herbert s.
Hadley. governor of Missouri, is to resign
In order to accept a federal judgeship, was
current here today. ON the authority of
a Missouri congressman, whose Identity is
not revealed by his friends here. 1t is said
that President Taft has promised Senator
Warner that Governor Hadley will be given
the first vacancy that occurs on the federal
bench in the west northwest, Governor
Hadley's resultant resignation would make
Jacob F.. Gmelich, now lieutenent governor
chief executive of the state. He is a repub-
lican and was declared elected only after
a long contest in the Legislature and the
recount of ballots by a special committee.
A report that Governor Hadley was to
resign and take a federal position was
circulated in December when the contest
for lieutenant governorship was on. The
rumor was promtly denied by the gov
ernor who said that he had nc present in
tentions of resigning. The congressman who
: was responsible for the present renewal
of the rumor asserts that the strictest
secrecy has been enjoined upon him and
thus far it is believed that the governor has
not heard of the report.

of the report, saying:

ANYTHING FOR BOYS RETURN
Father Of William Whitla Will Pay
Any Ransom Demanded.
EVERY CLUE IS INVESTIGATED
Case Recalls Another In Which
Babe of whitla's NeiEhbOr Was
stolen and Held
Year.

SHARON, Pa, March 2O.-Sobhng and
crying, James p. Whitla, the father of the
kidnapped boy, broke down at noon today
when no word had been received from the
abductors, and in statement to the Asso-
ciated Press said he wanted to impress on
every person interested in the recovery
of the boy, that all he wanted was to see
his child safe back home. He said he was
ready to pay the $4,000 ransom at any
time and had authorized agents ready to
pay over the money.
Failure to locate any tangible trace of
the boy and his captors after they had
deserted the buggy at Warren, o., has
had a Oppressive effect upon the hopes Of
the parents, however, and their only desire
now is to open negotiations with the kid
napers They have slept but little
since the KIDNAPPING occurred on Thurs
day morning and they are apparently re-
signed to the fact that the kidnapers have
the upper hand in the affair and anxiously
waited some intelligence from them as to
what they are to do to get William back.
Every clue, no matter how slight, is being
run down by the boys uncle, Frank NJ
Buhl, the millionaire steel man, who after
an exhaustive but unsuccessful search In
Cleveland last night will return to Sharon
this afternoon.
The abduction has recalled an almost sim
liar kidnapping at Sharon ten years ago
when the s-months-old son of a wealthy
resident, A Levine. was the victim. The
childs nurse had left the baby in its car
riage on the street while she entered a
store to make purchase. During her alb
sence the baby was stolen from its carriage.
Several hours later the parents received n
letter informing them that the child would
be restored on payment Of 5000 and no
publicity. II was decided to pay the ran
som. A spot was designated and two de-
tectlves detailed to watch the place and
make an arrest after the money had been
taken, but an hour before the time agreed
upon for the placing of the money letter
was received by the parents 1t read:
You have the police watching us TO ar
rest us. We do not want your money now,
but we have got your baby; you will never
