Upon considering all phases of the

are refusing to make appointments un-

This course the mayor thinks is the
best one and as n result Marion Will
have q board Of public service and a
board Of public safety until late in the
fall. or at least until the supreme
court gives a ruling.
In every place where officers have
been removed legal battles have been
started to prevent the action and
Mayor Scherm is anxious to avoid
anything of the kind here, belley-
ing that the city's affairs can be
more satisfactorily conducted under
the present systems until the proper
method of procedure Is mapped out.

MAINS HIMSELF
TO AVOID WORK

Oakland, Cal. July 2S.-Work was
SO distasteful TO Robert Ford. a
member of the city chain gang, that
he attempted to smash his left fore
arm by thrusting II under the
wheels of a loaded dump cart today.
Yelling In apparent agony. he was re-
moved to the receiving hospital, where
he all but collapsed when mr.. De-
vine examined his arm ana, finding
no injury, prescribed manual labor
as a remedy.
The gang was employed along the
Lakeside boulevard when Ford APP
peared TO stumble and the wheel OF
the cart passed over his wrist. The
weight of the cart pushed his arm
out of sight into the soft dirt and
he escaped injury.
Custodians of the gang who witt
messed the accident were suspicious,
and when IL was found that the arm
was intact were more than willing
to follow out the surgeons prescrip-
ton.

Did you ever have an alfalfa enthu-

plant? The alfalfa expert is in a class
by himself, the same as the strange
plant he talks of. A tiller of the soil
may never have studied the finer and
more scientific points of corn, wheat
OF oats culture, but with alfalfa it is
different. There are air chambers to
be taken into consideration-air cham
bers of the soil, brought about by
improper preparation. Then too,
just so many plants are recommended
by the knowing ones to the square
foot-'the stand" being the one big
problem. AS your stand is at the
first crop, so it will be at the tenth
crop. And the roots-they are won
ders, resembling more the roots of
shrubbery than a vegetation hal is
classified with timothy, clover, etc.
Many men In this vicinity are study
Ing alfalfa, and it goes without say
ing, that the man who studies the
question, seeking information from
proper sources will be the n who will
succeed in its culture, and some day
will look upon as fair fields of alfal-
ia right here in Richardson county as
ever waved to the breezes away back
yonder in Nebuchadnezer's day.
