The Care Of Asters.

There are no ANNALS that give more
satisfaction to the grower than asters.
The finest blossoms come in early fall
A bed will make splendid show with
its beautiful blue, pink and pure

These flowers require about the

Only a few points need be observed to
insure success with them.

has been proven that the blossoms
will be finer. The Spencer variety
has the biggest blossoms.
Now is the time to start cuttings
from geraniums. Put into sand with
good joints below the surface for new
shoots to start from. Pinch out tops
of big plants to make them branch for
garden plants.
Don't be stingy with your flowers.
If your plants are too thick or bushes
need pruning give your neighbor some.
Flowers always inspire good thoughts.
Perhaps some one who does not care
for you will have tender feeling be-
cause of your giving, and you will be
much happier for having given pleas
ure to another.
Some time when you are looking at
the starlit sky, find the Big Dipper,
follow the curve of the handle for
quite distance and you will see one
of the most beautiful stars of the
whole system. This is Arcturus, the
brightest member of the constellation
Bootes. In color it is yellow tinged
with red and belongs to the sun type
of stars. In fact it is great deal
larger than our sun, but so far away
that it appears small. 1t is most
brilliant in March, April ard in the
present month rises just after sunset.
1t has the swiftest movement of any of
the fixed stars. Arcturus is old, Job

Set plants so that the soil can be
drawn to them as you cultivate. The
roots have tendency to come to the
surface and cause the plants to top
pie over. Give each one plenty of room
there will then be no danger from mil
dew, and the blossoms will be finer.
Ii the plants "damp off, THAT is rot
off just above the ground when they
are small it is because they are kept
too wet.
Stir the soil as often as you find
time. 1t will bring results. Liquid
fertilizer may be given when the plants
are large, but ii you do not know how
to apply it you may ruin your whole
stock of plants.

IN CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES
Premier BRAND Creates Something of
Sensation.

Paris, Oct. 26.-On the reassembling
OF the chamber Of deputies after the
government had been attacked by the
Socialists, Premier BRAND created
something of sensation by declaring
that he had proof, through confessions
of the leaders Of the recent railroad
strike, that there was deliberate plot
to ruin France by, violence, anarchy
and civil war.
During his address the premier said
the cabinet was studying q plan TO
prevent repetition OF such strikes
while at the same time guarding the
legitimate rights OF wage-earners.
{ The Socialist members OF the cham
Der of deputies made a violent demon
stration against NJ, Lepine, project of
Paris, and the head of the police was
forced to withdraw, They then de-
nounced the ministry for the throwing
OF military resources of the country
to the service of capital, asserting that
such a procedure only Increased the
war among classes. The discussion
went over until Thursday.

oLDFlELD EASILY
DEFEATS JOHNSON
Autolst Wins Match Race With
pugiIist.

New York, Oct. 28.-The ambition
OF Jack Johnson, champion heavy.
weight pugilist, to annex other honors
as racing automobile driver received
a blight here at the hands of Barney
Oldfeld. Johnson showed to poor ad-
vantage in his new role, and Oldfield
in one heat of their fiyemile race at
Sheepshead Bay toyed with the big
fighter. Only two heats were needed
TO settle the question of superiority.
Following his victory Oldfield gave
Out this statement:
$"T raced Jack Johnson for neither
money nor glory. but to eliminate from
my profession an invader who would
have had to be reckoned with sooner
or later. If Jeffries had fought John
son five years ago, the white man
would have won and after Jeffries re-
tired he would never have had to fight
him again. II l had ignored Johnson
for a year or so he would probably
have gained much experience on the
tracks, ana bought high-powered cars,
while am not getting any better from
day TO day. am glad If my victory
over Johnson will have any effect On
the white mans hope situation"
In the first heat Oldfleld ran away
from johnson. He was quicker to get
away and Johnson's car never showed
ahead At the finish Oldfield led by
about quarter Of mile. His time
for the five miles was minutes, "A
seconds.
The time of the second heat, 5:14 As,
or 80 40 slower than the first, tells
the story OF the heat.

contained In Chapter sos of the Laws
OF Minnesota for the year 1909.
PURPOSE. By this amendment 1t IL
proposed to add entirely new sec
lion tn Article TX of the Constitution,
IN be known an Section II, and which
shall read AS follows,
section II. The Legislature may
provide for the payment, by the State

which. ct their option. have listed the

purpose. and no payment shall be made

fnnd so provided"
EFFECT. The erect Of this Amend
menf, III adopted, will be to authOrixe
the state 10 become a trustee In the
collection and disbursement Of fund
Tor the payment OF damages TO grow
Ing crops by hail wind, or either.
This fund IL TO be created and main
tained by specific tax imposed by the
legislature upon the lands 0f such per-
sons, ONLY, as shall voluntarily list the
same with their respective county au-
could be NO tax for such purpose im-
posed ON the lands of any owner who
does not consent thereto. The iegtsla-
lure IL also authorized to include in
such fund the necessary expenses OF
administration of the law. The adOp-
tfOn Of the amendment Will authorize
the legislature TO direct that the tax
fnE machinery of the state he used to
levy and collect the tax necessary 10
raise such fund and to provide for the
disbursement OF same by the officers
Of the State; hut any payments to be
made by the State, by reason of dam
age by hail or wind will have to be
made from such fund and from NO
other. In the settlement OF any such
damages. the State would assume ne
liability beyond the amount Of such
fund, and could not further be rem
dered liable. a similar amendment
was offered at the general election of
1905, hut not adopted. The amendment
then offered read as follows;
Section H. The legislature may
provide for the payment by the state
or Minnesota of damages to growing
crops by hall and Wind. or either, and
TO provide Il fund for that purpose, may
Impose n specific tax upon lands, tho
owners Of which. at their option. have
listed the same with county auditors
for that purpose, and no payment shall
he made OF any such damages except
from the fund SO provided"
70 The main difference between the
amendment now offered, and the one
last quoted, being that the legislature
IL now to be authorized, In addition to
providing fund for the purpose Of
paying damages to growing crops by
hail and wind, or either, To further
provide an additional tax upon the
dn NJ fho mar Itef fuO N
same, to meet the necessary expenses
incurred in the Administrations OF the
Isw and thus relieve the State there
from. This last provision was not in
cluded In the amendment offered in
1905.

LANcST0N PROVES An ALlBl
South 0akotan Not Guilty Of Murder
.F in Arkansas,

Gregory, s. D., Oct 25.-Information
has reached the state TO the effect that
J.. G. Langston, a Trip county home
steader, who some months ago was
arrested and taken to Walnut Ridge,
Ark. On the charge of murder, has
been acquitted. Langstop, by the aid
OF South Dakota friends, more than o
score Of whom went to Arkansas to as.
sist him, was able to establish an alibi.
Although he was arrested in South
Dakota last spring and taken to Arkan-
sas, not until recently were steps
taken by the authorities there to have
him tried. Even then his trial was
fastened through the action Of Gov
ernor Wesley, who wrote a letter to
the, governor of Arkansas asking that
the accused man be given as speedy a
trial as possible.
The man whom Langston was
charged with having killed was A. W.
Shirley, aged seventy, Of Minturn. a
town near Walnut Ridge. He was the
Wealthiest man in the Minturn neigh
borhOod. He was assassinated last
March as he sat in front OF his store.
1t was established that the slayer
came from neighboring town on
horseback, and Langston's description
was the. same as that given OF the
horseman.
Langston had lived at Minturn as
station agent before coming to South
Dakota, and it is alleged was a sutton
of young Mrs. Shirley before her hus-
bands death. While Langston was at
Minturn Mrs. Shirley instituted divorce
proceedings, and according to informa.
ton from Minturn 1t was believed that
when she obtained her divorce decree
she and Langston would marry. But
Langston came to South Dakota and
after securing a divorce the woman
married merchant of Ogden, Ind
Langston was able to show that on
the date of Shirey's murder he was in
South Dakota.
