where a deputation conferred with the
mayor, who promised that the munich
pality would contribute $1,5o0,o 900
toward building workmen's dwellings.
Meanwhile the crowd outside. dis
playing the black flag, became impa-
tient and without waiting for the re-
turn of the deputation threatened to
rush the town hall.
The police charged. but-could not
dispense the people. Fighting ensued
in which a police captains head was
broken and several policemen and
many rioters were injured The arri-
val of troops prevented the mob from
triumphing.
The mayors proposal to build

THE floor manager was also good

NORTH SIDE NEWS
VIII Probably Meet in "Sweet
By and By"
President of Club Too Busy to
Call Meeting.
ssWTTT, RE COLD DAV,'
.WILL BE COLD DAY:
Before He Leaves Business to
Stir Up Interest.
Meanwhile What of the Fair
Grounds PrOp0sition2

The time for callingg a meeting of
the Civic club is still in the sweet by
and by Fred Morns. president of
the club, says that he is too busy to
work up the interest in the matter, but
that one would be called if someone
else would work MP enthusiasm on the
proposition and report to him. Mean
while. the North side business men are
letting go the chance of acquiring the
fair grounds and losing sight of other
matters of great Importance to the
advancement of the First ward
A week ago Saturday Mr. Morns an
nounced that a meeting OF the club
would be called, but each day last
week he said he had not decided upon
a definite time for the meeting. This
morning he said:
I'll tell you about this meeting
proposition. 1 haven't the time to do
it. With the. exception of yourself and
one man. no one has asked me any
thing about the matter. If anyone
wishes TO take the time to get out and
all right, but I don't propose to take
the time to do So 1 have work piled
up before ne and am too busy now
to attend - it. 1t will be a cold day
before I leave it and attend to outside
matter. No. I didn't mean it would
be foggier han it is today, but at the
same time can't see my way clear to
attend to the Civic club just now. 1t
IS true that there is lots of work for
the club to do. but don't see how I
will be able TO get the men together.
THE great trouble iL these matters
Is that one person has to do all of the
hustling. Others stand back and say.
You are doing fine, go ahead but
they won't turn their hands to help
In fact, as said, if anyone else
cares enough about the matter to find
out how many wish the meeting called
and then reports to me, meeting Will
be called, but / am not going to take
the time to do it myself"
J. R. Spetter. well known business
man of the North side this morning
expressed himself strongly in favor of
securing the location of the fair
grounds on the North side, and also
that meeting of the Civic club be
called to consider this and other mat
tiers. He called up Fred Morns. presf-
dent of the club and asked him when
a meeting would be called. Mr.. Morns
replied that he didn't know as he was
too busy to attend to it at present

Few people know the real color OF
gold, because 1t is seldom seen except
when heavily alleged, which makes 1t
much redder than when 1t is pure.
The purest coins ever made were the
$50 pieces which once were in common
use in California Their coinage was
abandoned because the loss by abra-
sion was so great and because their in
terror could be bored out and filled
with lead They were octagonal In
shape and were the most valuable coins
ever minted and circulated.
All gold is not alike when refined.
Australian gold is distinctly redder
than that taken in California. More
over, placer gold is more yellow than
that which is taken from quartz. This
is one of the mysteries Of metallurgy
because the gold in placers comes from
that which IL in quartz. The gold in
the Ural mountains Is the reddest in
the world. Philadelphia Inquirer

A profitable combination on a
small farm within easy reach Of a
good market is fruit and poultry.
Hens. to do well, require a liberal
range that contains bushes or trees
enough to supply partial shade, They
also require variety of green stuff,
with a sprinkling of insects. Such a
combination may be easily supplied
by planting the land TO fruit and en-
closing 1t in poultry netting wire,
The hens do not know that they
are confined They dig little here
and there, but quickly abandon the
task to chase a moth or grasshop-
per II the trees or bushes are
nulched they work in the litter to
their entire satisfaction destroying
many insects.
All the bush fruits are benefited
by poultry. provided the soil is made
soft enough for them to scratch
Bush fruits cannot thrive well in
ground that is packed down hard or
covered with mat of grass. But IL
the plow and cultivator are operated
aa they should he early in the sea
son, the ground Is put in condition
to yield fruit and benefit the fowls,
which Is the most profitable way to
get two crops from the land at once.

Breeding Poultry.

The tendency among all poultry
raisers at the present Time is to have
one breed Of fowls, and not have
such a mixture Of breeds in their
flocks as was formerly and is still
the case, Much better results and
larger profits can be obtained with
pure bred fowls than with mixed
breeds. Wherever we see q nice flock
of fowls, all of one breed, we see q
farm well kept and prosperous. In
order to find out for yourself
whether pure bred fowls do better
than mixed breed, put UP forty
scrub fowls such as YOU see about
almost all farms, In one lot, and for
ty pure bred fowls Ia another lot;
give both lots the same care and
treatment and you will find at the
end of several months that the pure
bred flock has laid more eggs and
made bigger profits than the mixed
locks

GOOD BOYS COST s,so PER YEAR
Estimate Given BY an Ohio institution

Estimate Given by an Ohio institution
for the Prevention of Crime.
The cost Of school for the develop.
ment of good boys is thus stated By
Eugene Wood in his article. A SehooI
for Boys in Everybody's:
1T costs the state Of Ohio about $l6t
year for each boy. A useful, capable
man is worth to society, on the aver
age, $4,000 These II 600 boys cost the
state OF Ohio. then. say, $2,000,000 Say
1000 OF them were rescued That Il
$40 000. 900 recovered to society on the
investment OF $4,000, 600.
1T has been figured that every Grim
inal does about $4,000 damage year
leaving entirely out of the estimate
what Ii costs to maintain our plant for
the detection, prevention ami punish
ment OF crime. Each man wilt be a
criminal not less than twenty years.
That's $4,000 900 damages multiplied
by 1000 boys. or s2SO,0o0,000 damages
saved not counting the cost of the
anti-criminal plant Has it paid to run
this Boys Industrial school at Lancas-
ter?
And even If 1t hadn't paid fnan-
cially, isn't it worth while?'
