Justified under such conditions.
Cultivating to Save Moisture.
In dry seasons grass and weeds

tion, especially after the plants are
above a foot high. 10 very Injurious
to the crop. In dry weather.
II our soils were full of humus
to depth OF s or s inches and were
properly drained. the supply of mois-
ture required by the corn crop need
receive little consideration in an av-
erage year. Our rainfall is abundant
and pretty well distributed to suit
the needs OF the corn plant: but ow-
ing to the lack Of humus in our soils
our crops frequently suffer for lack
OF moisture after a period Of not over
two or three weeks Of dry weather.
III Ia thlu tai
makes the cultivation Of our corn
crop a much more complicated task
than the mere distribution OF weeds
and grass.
To prevent the loss Of moisture by
evaporation from the surface OF the
soil. a mulch OF some sort ia neces-
sary. On small patches layer OF
straw. or other fine matter OF simi-
lar nature. has been found the most
satisfactory means OF retaining the
soil moisture. II Is not practicable
TO obtain such mulch for corn
fields: but from this fact the lesson
was drawn which has lead to the
dust mulch. or soil mulch. This Is
simply layer OF 2 or 3 inches Of
loose. hne soil on the surface. Ex-
periments show that level cultiva-
ton about three inches deep best
prevents the loss OF moisture from
the soil by evaporation: but this
depth OF cultivation probably does
enough greater injury to the corn
roots than say Y or 2-inch cultiva-
ton. to more than balance the good
done by the greater amount Of mois-
ture saved by 3-inch cultivation. It
has been found. however. under the
conditions which the experiment was
made. that so per cent moro corn
roots were injured when the cultiva-
tion was 4 inches deep than when
only 3 inches deep. 1t would seem.

prepared soils the cultivation should
be from 2 to az inches deep in order
to best save the soil moisture. while
on more shallow soils II should prob

The suspect was accompanied by

hot on the trail Of the burglars from
the time of the burglary until the
capture and was not satisfied until
he saw this one safely locked behind

spite his protest of innocence, was
declared guilty will be confined

but the man recognized Mr. Stern
and is we'll known here. He is said
to have been a driver for r. G..
Clancy, liveryman, for four years,
and to have worked elsewhere in
town. He took his sentence at the

His popularity has spread all over
the United States, for nice, kind,
old clergyman wrote about him a
poem Twas The Night Before
Christmas. Who would believe 1t;
the Rev Clement c. Moore, who
taught Hebrew and Greek to theologi-
cal students, wrote these lovely
verses about The Jolly Old Elf, !"
and Il knew in a moment ii must be
st. Nick" He lived outside of New
York in a village called Chelsea,
where he had given the land for the
General Theological Seminary. Here
il was, he says, he saw the sleigh
and reindeer in the moonlight. This
place is in the heart of the city to-
day and many people do not know
where to find it, but almost every
child in the United States knows
about Santa Claus and Twas the
Night Before Christmas. Well! he
goes to children's homes that night,
but comes to the Sunday school en-
tertainments three days later. 1t
does not matter how he comes; he
has sent word that he will visit the
children in Annapolis on Christmas
eve and be at the Sunday school
Christmas treat on Holy Inuocents'
Day.
Saint Nicholas has his place in
the church services on December 6
but we only hear of Santa Claus as
saying Merry Christmas" and tell
ing children to be good and giving
them pleasure They both serve the
Christ Child. who came to save US
all and make US truly merry and
happy We have learned that they
are not two saints but one; the good
Bishop Nicholas who gave gifts to
the poor and would not permit them
to tell about it, and the jolly old
Santa Claus who makes children
happy on the birthday of their Sa-
viour. When we paint his picture
as st. Nicholas, we dress him like a
bishop When we see Santa Claus
be is dressed like the English chill
dren's friend, Father Christmas,
all in red and fur and sometimes
crowned with holly. Perhaps we
call him by the German name. Kriss

mistake, but it is all for love of Gods
little ones and to make them happy.

SANTA CLAUS
VIII Visit The Children OF Saint Anne
Parish On Wednesday After Christ
mas

Arrangements are being made for
a more elaborate Christmas enter
tainment than usual this year by
the Sunday. school authorities of
Saint Anne's Parish. This enter
tainment is always held upon Holy
Innocents' Day, December 28, and
after a service in st. Anne's Church.
There are three Sunday-schools in
the Parish Saint Anne's parish
church Sunday school, the Mission
Sunday-school of st. Anne's Chapel,
and the Sunday y-school of st. Luke's,
Eastport. These pupils. along with
their teachers, will attend the regu-
lar chiIdren's Christmas festival SER
vice at 3 p. m. at the church and
sing their Christmas carols.
At the conclusion of this, service
cards will be distributed to all pres
ent, to be used for admission to the
Colonial Theatre. Here the entertain
ment will take place. Plans are on
foot to make it an occasion of pleas
ure for all of those who are privi-
legged to attend. The former super
intendent. Mr.. +. w. Iglehart, has
volunteered TO direct the entertain
ment and will have efficient helpers
in the present superintendent, sec
retary and teachers aud others.
These will assemble at 1890 that
morning at the theatre to make
ready for the afternoon. The chill
dren who enjoy the Christmas treat
are not only the enrolled pupils,
but all other children who are in
a way associated with one of the
three congregations and take pains
to attend the festival service at
the church.
At these entertainments, tree,
stockings and Santa Claus are in
variably features. Since the kind,
old Saint is expected at the Colonial
this year. the children will look for
him to come in the most up-to-date
way perhaps in an aeroplane. He
was a good old Christian who once
lived in Asia Minor, where they call
ed him Rishop Nicholas. Then, some
how or other, the people of Holland
grew very fond of him and made
him their favorite saint. They called
him SAINT Niklaas. These Dutch
people brought their affection for him
to New Holland and its chief city,
New Amstedaf. where he was called
affectionately Santa Claus.
When this old Dutch place became
New York he was not forgotten an
is as popular there as in Holland.

Grants United States and
Great Britain Right
To Build Road.
BALANCES REFUSAL
RUSSIA AND JAPAN
Will Have Effect of Giving
Foothold in Manchuria
Which Was Desired

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Almost
simultaneously with the rejection by
Japan and Russia of Secretary Knox's
plan for the naturalization of the
Manchuria railroad, the Chinese gov
ernment has issued an impartial order
granting permission for the construc-
ton of an American British railroad
from Chin Foo to Port Aigun, it was
learned today, according to a dispatch
from Henry P Fletcher, secretary of
the American Pekin legation. Grant
ing this official permission is said to
be the result of a diplomatic inter-
change between China and the United
States. The road will probably be eff
fective in securing the practical neu
tralization of railways in Manchuria.
Although Knox's proposals were re-
jected by Russia and Japan, it will
furnish an opportunity for a CONNER
cial foothold in Manchuria, which was
considered one of the principal objects
of the naturalization plan.

man had gone and alone and unaided

was then learned that he was heading
for the mountains. The fugitive had
one pack horse and was riding an
other Deputy McAllister left the city
early yesterday morning AID after once

was able to track his man with ease.
He came upon him on the place known
as the Old Sheep camp on the Blue
mountains and walked in on Izitt
just as he was pulling off his shoes
in his bunk The captured man made
no defense and came to the city with
out resistance.
