MI. Norman II. johnson. publisher
of the Merchants Journal and Com

most of the retail merchants associa-
tons in Virginia and North Carolina,
was responsible for the visions which
danced before the eye of the furni-

post was the urc rom which the
octopus would get its tentacies and he
urged to the furniture men to use

much emphasis, 'there won be left
twenty-five of you retail furniture

earning money on as large volume or

Mayor and City Engineer Both
in Favor of Such Sim
pie Plan
MEANS BETTER STREETS
AND SAVES CITY MONEY
Illustrations of How Present Cum
bersome2 System Leads to Con-
fusion and Keeps Road
ways Torn Up.

A single council committee may be
given supervisory powers over the
work done by the water department,
h light department and the city
engineers office.
Such a plan has the unqualified en-
d~orsenent OF Mayor Richardson. who
thinks Its adoption would result in a
harmonious working OF the three de-
~partrnents in question. instead Of lack
of system which prevails at present,
and which a long proved most
expensive to the city.
The matter Is practically the sole
topic of discussion at the City Hall.
Attention was drawn to it as a result
OF the strenuous discussion at IA meet
lngo of the committee on streets Thurs
day night, when the city engineer was
instructed to proceed with police court
prosecutions against the heads of the
water and light departments in case
Of the failure of the latter to restore
streets to their former condition after
having laid pipes.
City Engineer Boiling says IL is OBJ
yious that something should be done
which will result in a more harmoni-
Gus working. For one thing, he de-
ciares an ordinance should be passed
giving both the light and water de-
partments permission to lay pipes on
thoroughfares before those streets
have been paved. Such permission,
at present not obtainable, Mr.. Boiling
says, would cut expenses In half, and
would be better for the condition OF
h streets in addition.
las 1t is at present. said Mr.. Boil

along comes the light or water de-
partment and cuts up my improve
snents. The permit which / grant
them allowing them 10 do this cut
ting requires that the thoroughfares
shall be restored to their former con-
dition. and be kept up for twelve
months. This specification has been
entirely overlooked. The roadways
are rarely repaved or filled in as well
as they were before. Sometimes the
contractors make a mere pretense at
restoring them.
Street Like Graveyard.
There Is one street. for instance,
that my department has laid with
gravel and rolled three times within
the past five years. ] am now work
ing on 1t again. Two blocks have
been restored to frst-class condition,
bat to drive over the remainder Is
like driving through a graveyard over
a succession of mounds.
THE three departments should
work together. Some arrangement
should be made. AT present Both
money and time are being wasted.
Mr.. Boiling declared that his criti-
cism of Messrs. Davis and Knowles
before the Streets Committee a not
been directed against those gentle
men personally. but against an exist
ing order OF things which should be
remedied. II was also criticising my

The United States under it's

Precedent Is against the ex-
tradition of the prisoner, because
Italy has twice refused to return
murderers to this country for

al OF a nal in America for q

Charlton's father will endeavor
to have his son declared insane

Since this country has the right
to refuse to render a prisoner TO

SUGAR BEET POISONING.

After sugar beets are gathered
it is the custom to turn livestock
horses, cattle and hogs-into
the fields to feed on the abund
ance of beet tops. Care should
be exercised in the use of these
fields. The tops and beets of the
field should not constitute the
whole feed the animal receives.
Grain and other feed should con
stitutc part of the ration. Hor-
ses or cattle should be turned on
to the fields only part Of the
time each day. Very little trouble
has been experienced this fall,
for the weather has been quite
warm. If the animal engorges
the stomach with beets, infla-
nation of the stomach and intes-
tines may result and may prove
fatal. Often flatulent collie is the
result. There is degeneration
OF the cells Of the vital organs
the liver and the kidneys.
The Colorado Agricultural Col
lege has investigated such losses
among horses, cattle, hogs, and
sheep. In other years where the
winter sets in early and is severe,
the beets and the beet tops freeze
at night and thaw in the daytime.
Under these conditions there is
such chemical changes as to make
the food extremely poisonous, if
eaten in large quantities, and
the result has been the loss of
thousands of dollars worth of live
stock. Such fields should not be
pastured, as it is extremely dan
gerous, and if loss does occur it
will prove expensive feed.
