Deep and Fertile Soil

The SOIL like most OF Utah soils Is deep and
fertile: the surface foot is dark coorcd clay loam
rich In humus; the succeeding foot Isl rriable rcd
clay loan and this continues in the third fourth
feet but here the soil Is mixed to considerable
tent with gypsum which Is effective in preventing
the rise of alkali. The fifth and sixth are more
sandy but still red in clay the seventh and eighth
nre apparently mixture OF red clay ana sand under

which has exceptionally high holding ca
pacty. 1t was through just soil this that
this root penetrated; there is doubt all but that
they We're going down into the soil to In con-
tact with the heavy blue clay because in this ma
lerinl large quantities of water held.
Dry farming crops undoubtedly deep rooted;
whore irrigation water Is supplied 1t Is unnecessary
for the roots to go down into the soil and Il con-
sequence they spread ont the surface. In
:he OF dry farm crops however, If the rains do
not come the plants make strenuous effort to sur
vlvc and reach out long distances for moisture and
thus penetrate the soil to great depth.

P. L. Gainsforth representing The
St. Anthony-Dakota Elevator, has
been in the city the past three days
looking after the company's interest.
It was Mr.. Gainsforth' intention to
meet with the farmers of this vicinity
to ascertain what kind of seed they
desired and quantity for spring
sowing, but owing to the inclement
weather the farmers of this commun-
ity didn't come to town. However
arrangements have been made by Mr..
Gainsforth with Mr.. Cox, of the I'M
perial Lumber Yard, to ascertain
within the next week the amount of
seed desired by the farmers. Any
one desiring to buy seed from the St.
Anthony & Dakota Elevator company
will please call at Mr.. Cox's Office as
early as possible, as it is nearing that
time when farmers should have their
seed.

was adorned by a coed likeness of Mr..
James G. Horton, the democratic nom
inee for Mayor of Macon. Accompa-
nying the picture was the following
sketch:
Jas. G. Horton, who on May 8 was
nominated by the Democrats of Macon,
Miss, for mayor, was born in Pickens
county, Ala, in 1874, but spent most of
his childhood and youth in Columbus,
Miss. In 1899 he removed to Macon.

agent of the Southern Express Compa-
ny. In 1901 he was married to Miss
Ray Harvey.
Mr.. Horton has been prominent in
the social life and business affairs ever
sine his coming here. He is now serv-
ing his third term as alderman. his SER
vices including those years the citv
electric light and water plant was in
stalled and the city sidewalks paved.
He has been a most energetic and ac-
tive member ofthe city council and was
always active in those movements
towards lettering the city. His in
cumbency of the mayors office is GER
tain to be an era of municipal progress
and Improvement.

81 Don't Remember"

The reply Of Mr.. Vardaman tc
the charge that he accepted and
used a free pass, forbidden by
law, during his term of governor,
must remind every one who ever
served on a grand jury of his ex-
perience in the grand jury room.
The whole answer was in the sub
junctive mood except the sad re-
frain of each paragraph-"I don't
remember it," Each paragraph
commenced with "Of' and each
ended with the foregoing sentence.
The answer was in strong con
trast to the average tone of Mr..
Vardaman's published u~tterances.
In d~enouncing others, in attribut-
ing to opponents Interior motives,
while .Iiveredness, unfairness, OBJ
esity, dishonesty, disgrace, leaness,
untruthfulness, bald medicines
and other crimes, faults, or mis-
fortunes, who speaks so boldly, so
ex cathedra as he? In bitter In
vective and violent accusation
Mr.. Vardaman excels lin bitter
and violence. No presump-
tion of innocence and no rules of
good taste abate the authorita-
tiveness or acrimony of his fulmi-
nations against those who incur
his d~ispleasure.
But in this answer-hOw sol
emn and mild! how deprecatory of
harshness or scandal. Not the
expected bold and bald denuncia-
tiOn Of the charge as a lie with
offensive epithets on the accuser,
but the answer men use to avoid
telling on friends. Such an an
swer as will do very we'll when
used to protect others, but not so
eXeusable when used to save one
self, and surely unworthy Of one
who has been governor of a great
state which he would now repre-
sent in the United States Senate.
He does not CALL the bet; he

Ellie Sommerford, a thirteen year
old boy, arrested here for larceny
proved of no avail in leading him
from the paths of vice. The kind
hearted jailer would not lock the
boy up, but permitted him to
sleep with one of the TRUSTEES. AS
soon as the trusty was asleep the
boy searched his pockts and secur-
ed the keys to the Jail. He went
through the pockets of every
prisoner and rifed them, He
then locked up the jail and made
his escape.
