Great Is Caitalna.

Arboriculture, an Indiana publica-
tion devoted to forestry, gives forty
reasons why catalpa should be plant
ed. A few of these reasons are as
follows:
1. By 1925 American forests will
b, exterminated.
2. The only valuable tree which
will mature in time.
8. Is antiseptic; requiring no
chemical treatment.
A. 1t grows in almost any soil.
s. Is easily propagated and man
aged.
6. Demands no professional
manipulation.
Z. Most durable wood known.
8. Valuable for cross ties; have
endured half century.
9. Nothing better for telegraph
poles.
10. Miles of living trees used for
telegraph lines.
IL. Makes magnificent veneers.
10. Superior to oak for furniture.
13. Lighter than pine.
IA. Stronger than oak.
Is. Tougher than hickory.
16. Freedom from warping.
IT. Neither shrinks nor swells.
18. Makes best wood pulp and
bookpaper.

Thrashing Out of Shock.

If thrashing can be done before
the grain is damaged by rains all
we'll and good. Even with some
nice thrashing weather, under the
common practice now of thrashing
in circuits not many can get their
work done during the most favorable
time. Some must wait until the last
Of the thrashing season. and during
this time the grain in shocks is sure
to deteriorate. In some localities
farmers are going back to the prac-
tice of putting all grain in stack and
giving 1t time to go through the
sweat before 1t is thrashed. This in
sures nice, bright grain, which may
then be stored without any danger
Of heating. and the straw is much
nicer for feeding. But II grain must
be left in shock until a machine gets
around to you. then by all means
tut up good shocks and cap them
with two big sheaves. Walk around
the grain field every day and replace
any caps which the wind may have
tlown on. If any shocks are dam
aged better throw these out as you
haul in to the thrashing machine.
A few musty or smutted shocks will
lower the grade of your whole crop,
when you come to market tt. G.

sees EARTHs DOOM
snark star" Rushing from Distant
Space VIII Crash Into Sun,

Professor Says.
Boston, Mass.-Professor Percival
Lowell in lecture at Harvard on
"Cosmic Physics" gave graphic de.
scription of the end of the world be-
cause of the collision of some dark
star and the sun. The lecture at
Huntington Hall is the first in series
of six. Professor Lowell stated that
unseen bodies in the universe must be
more numerous than the visible
bodies. He described the approach of
some dark star to the earth's sun.
at would of necessity be dark
one," he said, "for none of the
bright stars could do this in
aeons of ages. But dark star might
we'll be within striking distance. We
could be cognizant of it only through
it's borrowed light as it approached the
sun and by the perturbations of the
outer planets. Such a body might be
coming to meet the sun at about the
speed with which the sun is moving
through space, the relative approach
being then about twenty-five miles a
second.
"If the stranger were caught at the
eleventh magnitude, which is about
the practical limit, it then would be
twenty-seven years from the time it en-.
tered the range of vision before it
rose to visibility with the naked eye.
1t then would be not quite double the
the distance of Neptune.
with accelerated speed it would be
coming on, increasing in three years
to first magnitude and in two years
and three months more it would have
reached the distance of Jupiter and by
far the brightest star in the sky. BY
that time the earth would be feeling
the effects of the attraction of the
stranger. The seasons would have
changed and the year would have
changed and the year would have
grown longer.
"In 145 days it would have ira.
versed the distance to the orbit Of the
earth. Coming as it would directly to
the sun it would not hit any of the
planets, but would have approached 80
near to the earth that the earth would
have turned from the sun to follow it.
For nineteen days the chaos conse-
quent on the disturbance of usual re-
lations would continue, as, like some
comet glorified a thousandfold, the
tramp dropped silently upon the sun.
Toward the close of the nineteenth day
the catastrophe would occur; we
should know no more" He added that
such an occurrence is sure to come
eventually.

said he had not the slightest fear Of

I'VE can make dresses better than

fear rivalry. 1t is impossible to pro-
duce the creations that have made
Paris famous without Paris artists
and Paris workwomen. The Ameri-
cans might import these. but in six
months after they left France they
would lose the chic which makes
Paris gowns unique.
"The experiment has ben tried in
London, and although the models, ma

the experiment failed. 1t is the artis-
tic atmosphere of Paris which gives

100000 FOR A HORSE
Agreed to Pay Beans on Basis Of
GeometricaI Progression, and IL
viii Take 5000 900 Bushels.

Kalamazoo, Mich.-Twelve million
dollars for a horse! That's going
some and makes all the fancy prices
paid for Dan Patch, Arion, Salvador.
and other equine stars look like thirty
cents. Yet just such deal has been
closed in Kalamazoo, which for many
days promises to be record transac-
tion and in every sense of word Is
bonafide.
1t is between Frank Kress, superin.
tendent of the Riverside Coating Mills
and Louis Ehrmann, Rose street ho-
tel man. All came about through
dispute over the weight of a truck
horse in question. Mr.. Kress In.
sisted it weighed more than 1,l60
pounds, while Mr.. Ehrmann was
equally certain that it did not. There
upon Mr.. Kress said he would be will
ing to sell the horse to Mr.. Ehrmann,
taking beans in pay. one bean for
first pound in excess of 1,160, two
beans for the second, four the third
and so on.
This bargain was snapped up In a
hurry. The horse weighed was found
to weigh exactly 1900 pounds, just
forty excess of weight claimed by own
er. Local mathematicians got busy
and figured up on the transaction.
Kress finds by allowing 5,400 beans
to a quart, Mr.. Ehrmann will have to
pay him 100000 bushels of beans for
the animal.
Beans now sell at $240 to $3.50 4
bushel, which makes the price $12,-
100000 to $12,5OO,0OO, and half mil
lion is really small matter in such
transaction. Kress delivered the
horse and intends to hold Ehrmann to
his contract.

QUAKE VICTIMS WHITE SLAVES

who was in charge of the relief eXpe-
dition that Nathan Straus, the Ameri
can philanthropist, sent to Sicily.
Green sailed from Bremen on the
Kaiser Wilhelm H., for New York.
"The most horrible tragedy of the
earthquake" he declared, was the
fate that befell hundreds of girl sur
vivors, whose parents were killed. I'm
scrupulous dealers searched out these
girls amid the ruins and enticed them
away with promises that they were
taking them to members of their fam
lilies, who, the girls were told, had mira.
culously escaped and were now search
ing for them.
"In their terrible anguish these poor
girls readily believed these stories and
followed these human vultures to any
place designated. The excitement
throughout the whole of Italy was SO
great at the time that it was a COM
paratively easy matter to imprison
these girls and ship them to South
America, where agents sold them to
houses of vice."

ARRANGEMENT OF GLASS GOV.


OF drainage material, preferably
charcoal, inch deep, then a bit of
gravel, and on top OF this at least
inches Of clean. gritty sand, not too
fine. Another pane of glass, ~ by
IA inches, rests on the top, as shown
in the cut.
Tender plants such as geraniums,
coleus. begonias and others, root Off
quickly. Woody cuttings require
more care. For instance, Weigela,
forsythia, honeysuckle, etc., should
have cuttings taken from we'll ripen-
ed wood in July or August. Cut to
a length containing two pairs of
leaves. Remove the lower pair and
with sharp blade make clean cut
right at the joint. Many woody
plants will not form a callus except
hen cut at this point. Leave the
stem projecting a little above the
upper pair of leaves, so it may not
dry back too far and injure the buds.
Then the two leaves left should have
the outer half Of the blades re-
moved.
With roses, or other shrubs where
the leaves are not in pairs, the same
principle holds. Choose the wood
which has bloomed and cut to in
clude four or five joints, always
making the lower cut at a joint. Re-
move the lowest two leaves and cut
back the others. They should be
pressed firmly in th0 sand, kept
moist and given plenty of sunlight

SAN FRANCISCO, May 5.--Oakland
took another slant downward yester-
day when Happy Hogan's Vernonites
not only shut them out but walloped
Boice for eight runs as result of a
home run by Truck Eagan, two-bag-
ger and nine ling singles.
In the third Kinkel reached first on
Cameron's error, went to second on
another error by Boice and scored when
Stovall hit to right field. In the fourth
Brashear walked and Caffyn was safe
when Boice mishandled a bunt, Mar
tinke popped one around second that
Christian entirely misjudged and
Brashear came home. A single to left
by Eagan scored Caffyn and after Mar
tinke was caught trying to steal third
Eagan came home ON slow hit ball
by Kinkel.
More hits, more errors and poor
Judgment gave the Vernons their last
two runs in the ninth. Stovall started
off with a two-bagger. Comeron's Sec
ond error placed Haley at first base
An out by Brashear took Stovall as far
as third and he stole home right in the
face of the enemy. Haley few mo-
ments later executed the same steal
from third base and the Oaklanders
had little life left for their half of the
closing inning. The score:
