THE LAWS GOOD MEMORY
Did Not Allow Alexander Wagner to
Escape His Jail Sentence.

Montpelier, March 27.-That the
law has a long memory, as well as a
long arm, was learned by Alexander
Wagner, who was arrested at his
home in Worcester Wednesday by
deputy sheriffs Henry c. Lawson and
H. d. Camp for an offense two years
old Back in May, 1907, Wagner
pleaded guilty before Justice w. c.
Peck of Woodbury. for selling intoxi-
eating liquor, and he was sentenced
to sixty days in the house Of correc
ton. While he was being taken to
Rutland he eluded Constable John
Morse at Essex Junction or at least
he disappeared and Constable Morse
returned empty handed.
Wagner now claims that he die
not run away from the constable, but
that be stepped into a toilet room al
Essex Junction and that when he
came out he found that the train haC
pulled out Of the station, leaving hin
there alone He didn't call that elud
ing the officer Six months ago Wag
oner returned to his home in Worces

Mrs. Wagner Went into hysteric
when the officer called to get her hus
band and she pleaded hard with thu

oner was surprised that the officer

COWBOYS WANTED
To Take Part in Grand Parade at
Spokane.


In the monster parades in connection
with the National Irrigation congress
to be held in Spokane August 9th to
14th, many special features will be in
troduced. Several magnificent floats
arranged in series typifying the prog
ress of the country and it's products,
are being constructed. In addition to
all these there will be such features as
miners pack trains, bands Of Indians,
old prairie schooners, old stage coaches,
army wagons and cowboys. All Of these
features will be genuine as far as pos
sible and all have been secured except
the cowboys which the committee hope
to secure from the small towns in the
cattle districts.
P. D. Tull, who is in charge of this
division, is very anxious to hear from
any one who can organize d properly
equipped bunch of cowboys, few or
many, so as to make place for them
in the parade and promises that salts
factory arrangements will be made with
any one from outside towns who can
assist in organizing this cowboy divi-
sion, and also assures a good time and
entertainment for those taking part.
The parade committee reports that
they expect to put on two of the great
est parades ever attempted in the west
and expect to have at least 5000 people
in line aside from the special features.

Miss Donlin of Missoula to Handle the
Envelopes in the Land
Drawing.

Christiana Donlin, the 10 year old
daughter Of Edward Donlin of Mis-
soula, Mont, will be the guest of the
federal government at Occur d'Alene
Idaho, on August 9 and will draw from
the applications for registry on the
Flathead Indian reservation the envel
opes containing the names of the
winning applicants.
Her task will be no small one, as il
is probable that 1000 or 5000 appli
cations will be drown to be sure that
there will be enough to take all of the
homesteads.
Some girl of about the same age will
be chosen from Idaho to draw for the
Occur d'Alene reservation and another
from Spokane or eastern Washington
to draw for the Spokane reservation
The selection of Miss Donlin was
made by Judge James W. Witten
superintendent of the opening.

Early Flowing.

The value of early blowing as %
means Of destroying weeds, especially
rag weed, wild oats, artichokes, ETC., 10
not appreciated fully by farmers. Sim.
liar weeds grow In most discouragins
manner, especially on low, moist land,
during the summer, and in many In
stances take possession of the fields,
They will appear on the scene next
year, in multiplied numbers, if an ef'
fort Is not made to destroy them this
summer, which can best be done by
early blowing.
The pillow should be started in these
weedy patches just as soon as the fields
are cleared. Rag weeds are rank
growing soil robbers which should NOS
be permitted to ripen seed on any
farm, but are now seen in corn fields
pastures and small grains In many Sec
tions. They are a special pest on some
farms where careless methods of ham
ding the soil have been employed. IT
such fields are plowed as early as pos
sible the plants will be prevented from
going to seed. Kingheads are now In
possession of some very productive
fields. and we believe this is due to
spring blowing or no blowing, as such
fields are often dlsked instead OF
plowed

incubation of Glover.


Clovers do not always grow as read
ny or as vigorously as might be ex-
pected from the richness of the soil. In
recent years 1t has been discovered
by scientists that the growth Of plants
OF this class (clovers, peas and beans)
Is dependent to some extent ON the
presence Of small nodules or punches
on the roots. These nodules contain
bacteria which in some mysterious way
assist the roots in taking up food from
the soil. If these bacteria are not
present in the soil the clovers will be
likely to make poor growth--indeed,
Alfalfa may not make any growth. If
the proper kind of bacteria are sup
piled and the incubation OF soil ana
root is successful the plants will show
extra vitality.
Cultures containing these bacteria
have been sent out to farmers from
the Ontario Agricultural College for
the past four years, with directions
