inmates of the Kenosha city poor farm.
The statistics cover every fact in re-
gard to their lives. 1t shows who and
what they are and what made them
paupers. Of the eleven men at the
Kenosha poor farm five were, born in
the United States while the others were
natives of foreign countries.
One or two of the men were unable
to give out all the Facts demanded in
regard to the points in their lives.
Most of the men became paupers on ac-
count of disease or from being disabled
while the others were rendered unable
to support themselves by the encroach-
ment of age. There are no women at
the Kenosha poor farm and only few
who could be elassed as paupers. Many
of them receive part of their support
from the city but as soon as possible

SIGNS GROTH TO PITCH
Port Washington Twirler to Take
Pulses Place on Kenosha Team

Joe Pulse, who has been in the box
for the Kenosha base ball team for the
better part of three seasons, has been
forced out of the game and Manager
Breen has signed Ernie Groth of Port
Washington to pitch for Kenosha dur
ing the remainder of the season. Pulse
is suffering from very sore arm and
it is feared that he will not be able
to work again this year. Groth has
worn a Kenosha uniform before and
he is regarded as one of the fastest
pitchers in Wisconsin. He was for time
in the National league, but gave up
his place on account of the fact that
he did not desire to give all of his
time to base ball. Groth will join the
team at once and will pitch the first
game against Sheboygan on next Sun
day afternoon.

Weak Legged Chicks.

The great trouble of raising chicks
In an incubator is leg weakness.
One of our friends living near Den
yer has lately found a remedy AS
soon rs the chickens are hatched
he puts four inches of black earth
in the brooder and places the food
for the chicks in the earth. They
begin scratching for food. and he
has had no trouble with leg wcak-
ness since. The earth should be
changed quite frequently. Chickens
hatched by hens are not troubled
with leg weakness because they be-
gin scratching as soon as they are
out of the shell. The latest theory
about brooders Is side heat and
this may have some effect in pre-
venting leg weakness.-Field ana

that the future generations shall be
properly reminded of the parts our
aboriginal ancestors took in The

which the juvenile American shall

Wind Breaks.

There is yet time to plant a wind
freak or shelter belt if attended to
at once. If possible, secure dormant
trees, such as nurserymen can still
supply in limited quantities, For the
plains, use either white or green
ash, black and honey locusts. white
willow, boxelder and Russian olive.
The last named tree is a low grow
ing species, in most situations. but
is hardy and stands drouth well.
Prepare the ground as for corn
and plant in rows not closer than
four by eight feet. Set the Russian
olive on the west and north sides in
the outer row. Next a row each of
ash and boxelder, then row of To-
Gust, and lastly. row of white will
low. II wide strip is desired. dou-
BILE or triple the rows.
Get the smaller sizes of trees, as
they are cheaper at first and are
easier to plant, and are more certain
to live than the larger sizes. Dig
the holes large and deep enough SO
the roots can spread out. Pack the
soil firmly among and over the
roots, leaving the holes about half
filed with soil. Pour half or two
thirds of pail of water in each hole
and when this has disappeared, fill
each hole with soil, leaving it loose
and fine on top. Allow the soil to
slope toward the trees, rather than
from them. This can best be done
by running dead furrow where
each row is to stand with a back
furrow between the rows. When well
narrowed down lengthwise of the
burrows, this will leave the land in
rounded ridges with corresponding
depressions between in which the
trees are to be set.
The same trees will do well for
irrigated land and will grow with
less water than most other species.

FOR HoUsEKEEPERs.

A pleasant change in making
lamb or chicken stew is to use
freshly baked biscuits in place of
dumplings. The biscuits should be
thinner than ordinarily and baked
In a quick oven. When nicely
Drowned, drop into the stew and
allow it to boil five minutes before
serving.
Sometimes an accident occurs by
which a shirt waist is scorched in
II oning. Cover the spots with a
paste made of common starch and
cold water spread on thickly and
ley in the sun. If badly discol-
ored the second application may
be necessary. Wash with soap and
warm water, and the spots will en-
tirely disappear.
The most faded and washed out
pink garment can be made like new
by putting a handful of red crepe
paper in the rinsing water. 1t will

same is true with lavender, only
use purple crepe paper. 1t always

quickly into starch afterwards. This
process is especially desirable for

TREATY TAKES PRECEDENCE
OVER ACT OF CONGRESS

Spokane, Wash.-The state supreme
court of Washington has handed down
a decision, saying that treaty ne
gotiated with Norway and Sweden in
1888 and revised in 1927 wipes out the
provisions of the inheritance law in
this commonwealth, which fixes tax
of 25 per cent to foreign heirs, while
only per cent is charged to resident
heirs of that relationship. The court
sustained the contention of counsel
for the heirs of Peter G. Strixrud, an
engineer, who died at Olympia, Wash,
in 1908, and willed his estate to a
brother and sister in Norway, that
treaties are superior to acts of con-
gress and state laws, holding also that
under the treaty foreign heirs must
be charged no greater tax than If they
were residents Of the state. Judges

Der of the Washington Board of Bar

TO POOL GRAIN.
Farmers Union Will Undertake Sell
ing of Grain to Advantage.

Spokane, Wash.-Farmers' Ware
house association of the Inland EN-
pire, controlling approximately 40 per
cent of the sixty million-odd bushels
Of wheat harvested annually in east
ern Washington and Oregon, north
and central idaho and western Mon
tana, will be formally organized under
the direction of officers of the Farm
ers' Educational and Cooperative
Union of America in Spokane on June
10. The purpose is to pool the grain
grown in this part of the northwest
and sell it in lots of 100000 bushels
and upward direct to millers and ex-
porters, charging the growers not
more than one cent a bushel for hand
ling and marketing.
l. c. Crow of Garfield, Wash,
state president for Washington and
idaho of the Farmers Union, who
was elected temporary president of
the Farmers Warehuse association,
says it is purposed to make a cam
paign to enlist all farmers in the
northwest and coast states in the
movement, with a view to controlling
the grain output and bringing the in
dustry upon profitable basis. No at
tempt will be made to advance prices,
he added, but rather work to elimi-
nate the middle man and let the far
mer have the profits.
Former state Senator R. C. Nc
Croskey of Garfield, one of the bo-
nanza wheat ranchers in the Inland
Empire said Of the plan:
"By forming into a compact orga-
nization the farmers will be in much
better position to deal with the mid
die man and even with the railroads.
although the latter are not Of as vital
Importance to the grower. The feder-
alton will have the power by a two
thirds vote Of its membership to levy
a tax on all produce stored in ware
houses for the maintenance Of agen-
cies, and it is also provided in the
constitution that agents shall give
bonds to the association to protect the
members against losses"
