January has passed without extreme

In digging for plums, the gardener
should be careful not to tread on the
vines. Bruises are apt to produce freck-
les on the fruit and hurt the market

Ground should be broken early and
farmers cannot be too careful in setting
out their corn stalks and planting their

Creamery butter should not be used as

action was a back-handed slap at
Roe, and that had they succeeded in
establishing that immoral conditions
existed in Des Moines an effort would
have been made to recall Roe. Prac-

before the council as hearsay and was
trumped up by hired detectives of

existing immoral conditions were
shown in the city. The prosecution
has acted but a boomerang. Council
