"BY ONE OF THE CLASS

The boy stood on the school room floor,
Whence all but him had fled,
His underlip fell five feet loer;
His hair rose en- his head.
Yet beautiful and bright he stood,
As bern to work that sum,
He scratched his head and pinched his
blood;
But still she would not come.
Until al last exhausted, quit,
He gave up in disgust;
The mark he got was very light,
In fact, it was Dust"

Clean up should be the slogan in Forest
as the real summer weather sets in, and
then the same slogan should be repeated.
Every mud hole or place where water
accumulates in wet weather ard remains
until it becomes breeder of mosquitoes
and i'll health to residents, should either
be drained or filled up. There are few
such places on private property N the
town and they should be looked after by
the health officer. We may be con-
sidered ''knocker' but we viii bear the
appellation if it takes that to remedy the
evils existing. Again we say, clean up.

The Register has heard that some OF
the Scott county boys who left short
time ago to make their homes further
west have already discovered Scott coun-
tv dirt in their shoes ard are anxious to
return, and will probably do SO when
they get the pricel. Parties leaving old
Scott for Oklahoma and Texas should
provide themselves with round trip tick
cts. It is the safest plan.

SpEC7ACLES SHOULD Be CHANGED.

Frequently people will
get glasses which are sent
them and then go on wear
ing them for years without
having their sight tested to
discover w h e tn er any
change has taken place.
This is wrong. all who wear
glasses should have their
eyes tested at intervals,
even if the necessity for
such be not apparent to
them. AS a rule, spectacles
for old sight, require chang
ing about every three years
but it is desirable that the
sight should be carhfully
tested every two years.
We test them free of
charge.

The Register notes good deal of
well grounded and forcibly expressed
complaint among its weekly contempora-
ries about the hardships inflicted by
the uniformity low price of one d ollar
per annum which most of them feel
constrained to accept for subscription.
And there is here and there bit or
grief over the non-payment OF that
pitiful sum by delinquent subscribers.
There never was time when one dollar
a year was enough for a country weekly
that was or is worth taking out OF the
postoffice The utterly insufficient price
had it's origin in the foolish rotten OF
competing with the metropolitan weeklles
which thirty years ago made strenuous eft
forts to cover the country at that price,
The chief visible result has been that the
country papers were forced, as their pub
fishers mistakenly thought, to fix the
same price.

The storing of the cab bage crop for
winter use and market is one of the
problems that the grOwCr has TO con-
slider at this. season cf the year.
While the cabbage crop as ore that is
comparatively easily grown and kept,
nevertheless the grower sometime
likes to have some t.dJitioEal info, ma
ton upon the subject.
To insure proper keeping, the heads
should be firm and should be left
standing in the field as long as the
season will permit without endanger-
ing the crop by severe freezing. The
length of time the crop may be safely
left in the field depends upon the To-
cality AS general rule, 1t is safe
to say that until the first of November
or little later will not be. too long.
There are many ways of putting up
the crop. Some growers make a
trench in the field where the crop is
grown and bury the heads there The
trench is made about six inches deep
and wide enough to take from three
to four rows placed side by SIDE and
as long as needed. The heads are dug
up root and all. and after shaking off
some of the surplus dirt the leaves are
folded tightly around the heads and
they are then placed head down in the
trench. The heads should be packed In
close together, and then be covered
over with straw or hay to depth OF
three or four inches. On top of this
light covering of dirt should be put,
which should not be over two or three

inches to start with, unless the weather
is very cold. This covering of dirt is
added to from time to time as the
weather grows colder. Care should be
taken not to cover too deep on the start
or undue heating may result
Another method, which is practically
the same as the above, is used But
instead of burying the cabbage in a
trench, a place is leveled off and the
heads placed on this and covered as
above, with the same precautions.
In the warmer sections of the terri
tory. like the Rio Grande valley. it
would be better not to use the trench
method as loss might occur from over
heating. When buried on the top of
the ground, as in the other method. the
covering of straw or hay will be all the
protection necessary to start with.
When colder weather comes on, a COW
ering of earth should then be added.
Cabbage can also be kept nicely by
wrapping the heads tightly in news
papers and placing in a room where
they will keep cool. Instead of wrap
ping the heads in the paper they may
be covered with. straw.
In the colder portions of the terri
tory where freezing weather is some
what constant, storing the heads IN
good. cellars offers an easy means, and
a. satisfactory one for keeping the
crop. In practicing any of the methods
of storage recommended 1t should be
kept in mind that cabbages keep best
in cool temperatures.

The crew agreed TO do it for $50. and
got the order for the job. They found
Bum waiting at the station and took
him aboard the engine. Then followed
a record run, but the flyer was over

Bum had to be caught; he was glad
enough that Bum had been caught.

Firing Squad In Belem
With Bravado.

City Of Mexico ID. F., Dec 26.-When

Belem, after two Attempts, shot Jesus
Negrete to death, a bandit who for
years terrorized portions OF the federal

Known as the 'Tigre de Santa Julia"
Negrete was feared for the atrocity of
his crimes and the frequency Of his WIS.,
its for loot and murder. Numerous
murders and almost innumerable rob-
berries. were charged up to him. His
conviction in the court was followed
by a legal fight which is almost with
out parallel in the history of this re-
public. He fought his prosecution
through all OF the courts TO which IL
could be carried and finally appealed
to president Diaz TO revoke the sem
tence Of death imposed in the criminal
court This the president refused to
do. and the "Tigre" has been shot.
Negrete received two wounds at the
first discharge of the firing squad. one
in the lower part of the throat and the
other in the region of the heart After
wards two more shots were needed be-
fore the prison surgeons would say he
was dead.
Negrete met death with bravado. Re-
alizing that his hour had come. the
bandit, when led before the firing squad
OF five men. took a military pose and
with head erect and chest thrown out.
