Editor Capital:
In your valuable paper of the 9Th
you stated Eastport precinct had al
ways been a Republican stronghold.
Your reporter made mistake. -Four
years ago, when Crothers ran for
Governor, and James r. Brashears for
the Senate, the Democratic majority
for the whole ticket ran from 90 to
196 Two years ago the Democratic
majority ran from 65 to 202 major

TAG DAY IS ENDED
The Experience Of A Red Headed
Man Graphically Told.
COVERED WITH TAGS.
From Bay Window Dome To Mansard
Top-A Willing Victim OF S. P.
c. A. Fund At Five Cents Per.

Up the middle of Main street. this
coat tails standing out at an angle of
forty-five degrees, dashed redhaired
man this morning. He spinned the
ground in leaps that measured ten
feet. At Conduit street his hat blew
off, but he stayed not to recover it.
One hundred feet further one of his
low-quartered shoes flew from his
feet and, describing an arc. he fell
atop of his head fifty feet further on.
Spurred on by the cries of onlookers,
he let out another link on the high
gear, charged the hill like score of
Roosevelt's Rough Riders. Behind
him swarmed a bunch of boys and
girls, who were rapidly overtaking
him.
The sweat stood out on his alabas-
ter brow like the doorknobs of a tene-
ment house in distress. The few hairs
on his head enlisted in the circumam-
bent air like Barnum's calliope on a
Jamboree and the stacato drumming
of his one shod foot on the pavement
gave a fair indication of a swarm of
locusts in their seven-year indication
of trouble.
Even though it was a little immod-
est, his breath came in short pants and
his eyes popped from their sockets
ike those of crab who finds himself
in veritable hot water Just as he
reached the top of Main street another
bunch of children turned the corner
of the Hotel Maryland from Gloucester
street and he was captured. He COL
lapsed and fell in heap on the side
walk, his bellows working like the
exhaust of a two-cycle launch engine.
In second he was plastered from
bay-window to mansard dome with
little diamond-shaped cards and on
the card was printed:
S. P. C. A.
Tag Day
Help Our Friends Who Cannot Sneak
For Themselves.
He gasped two or three times, read
one of the cards and seraphic grin
spread over his countenance.
Tag, yelled the children in chorus,
and he of the sunset dome dug up five
cents for each and every tag on his
manly bosom. He realized that it was
"tag-dsy" and that the hustling pupils
of the public school were using these
means to raise funds for the work
of the S. P. c. A. They worked nobly
all day and by night there were but
few persons in town who had not been
tagged.
Up to 2,S0 today the receipts from
tags had amounted to S35. One dog
was tagged, several horses were tag
ged, besides numberless men, women
and children. The S. P. C. A. feels
grateful to all those who helped them
raise funds to carry on their work.

COOSEBERRY AND
CURRANT EASILY
PR0PAGATED,
CO
BY O. !. GREGG,
OF THE MICHIGAN AGRI-
CULTURAL COLLEGE.

The currant and gooseberry, com.
monty known as grossels, are among
small fruits to be grown on every
farm or small fruit garden. Their
care is simple and for this reason
are not given as careful attention as
they really should have in order to
get good results. For farmers fruit
garden one dozen plants of each is
generally sufficient, as they are but
little used fresh. their principle use
being for preserves and jelly.
They are rather easily propagated.
The young shoots one foot in length.
II planted deep in a nursery row in
late fall so that their tips are above
ground, a large proportion will take
root the following season and can be
permanently planted the second
spring. They should be planted AKA
feet and better than 5x6 feet apart.
They should be kept cultivated
throughout the summer similarly to
raspberries. They thrive in a cool,
rather damp, soil. and heavy soil
Is much better than light soil.
Unlike the brambles the grossels
have small fruit spurs on old wood
which produce fruit year after year.
They also bear fruit on the previous

seasons growths from lateral buds.
On this account the pruning. of the
grossels is entirely different from that
OF the other small fruits. But little
pruning is necessary the first few
years. After four years of growth.
however, they should be pruned reg
ularly every year. In pruning. all
branches ovre four years of age should
be removed, as these become too old
to form good, large fruit. At the same
time all branches lying on the ground.
those attacked with borers, broken or
interlacing branches. should be re-
moved. There are generally too many
new shoots that spring from the roots
each year These should be removed,
except three or four Of the best and
strongest ones left distributed about

bush should, therefore, be symmetrical.
made up Of two or three shoots four
years old, the same number of three
years old branches and possible more
of one or two year shoots, to allow
for an extra number that might lie
broken or diseased. If properly taken
care of, cultivated, pruned and sup
piled with mulch of manure each
year, sure crop will result.
Among the gooseberries, the Down
ing takes the lead, being planted more
extensively in Michigan than all other
varieties put together.
There are several varieties, but

Storing Root Crops.
The most satisfactory and perma-
nent results IN storing root crops are
to be secured from . cellar built In an
excavation adjacent to or az . part OF
q basement barn. the object being to
get below ground for security against
frost and the maintenance Of uniform
ity OF temperature. A space parti-
toned OF in the basement barn with
light walls makes as satisfactory an
arrangement AZ any; IL this 10 not
done the warm, moist air from the
stables will prevent the roots from
keeping well. Root houses built in
excavations In banks some distance
from the stock barns are not 90 sat
isfactory because of the extra labor
involved in conveying the roots to
the stock, particularly in times OF
mud and snow.
FITTING may also be resorted to, but
Is not 30 satisfactory as a cellar
Under such conditions the continuous
use OF roots for feeding Is interfered
with daring the extremely cold spells.
as some days the pit would have to
remain closed to prevent the access
Of frost. In constructing a pit, high.
well-drained piece OF ground should
be chosen. The roots should be piled
In long piles, the bottom OF the pile
about four or five feet wide, with the
sides sloping upward, to meet at a
point four feet above the center OF
the Pile; the length of the pit can be
governed by the conditions. AS soon
os the roots are piled cover them with
a layer Of about three inches Of
straw, free from chaff; then cover the
straw with earth taken up from near
the edges of the pit in such a way as
to form a ditch around the same for
drainage. Early in the season, not
more than an inch or two of earth
should be placed on the straw, but
later. as cold weather approaches.
double the amount of earth and pre-
vent freezing In future by coverings
of manure, used in such quantity as
the severity of the weather may re-
quire. Where the conditions are ex-
IRENE, or for potatoes, a double COW
ering may be used as follows: First
cover with straw and then with
thin layer Of earth, which is allowed
to freeze; then follow with another
layer OF straw and more earth. In
this method dead air space is main
tanned and the roots or potatoes en-
closed are not effected by fluctuations
in temperature from without. In ex.
IRENE weather manure covering
would be needed as in the first case.

The prevailing opinion that root
crops are difficult to harvest, involv-
Ing much hard manual labor, has pre-.
vented many from growing them. MOI.
ern tools and methods have afforded
much relief in such harvesting oper-
atoms.

all the roots. Exposure TO the sun
for a few hours or even a slight frost
during the night make the earth drop
readily from the roots when bumped
together just before being thrown into
the wagon.
Short, thick bodied roots such as the
golden tankard mangold or giant feeG-
ing beet may be uprooted by dragging
an inverted harrow both ways across
the rows, after which the tops can
be twisted off by hand before the beets
are loaded in the wagon. The ex-
tremely large, long crooked varieties
such as the mangold wurzel cannot
be harvested in this way without some
damage from breaking which inter
feres with their keeping qualities.
These sorts should he pulled and the
tops twisted off by hand.
In the case of few rows OF car
rots grown for horse feeding, the fol-
lowing method may be followed IL

row of carrots, exposing their sur

grown to any great extent.
These remarks are Intended to ap-
ply to the average farmers conditions,

feeding purposes and where the small
areas devoted to this work will not

Montgomery Asks For Better Navi-
 gatiOn On Alabama River

Montgomery, August 2S.--(Specia1.)- H. Starr Kealhofer, freight traffic sec retary of the Business Mems league. has just returned from Washington, D. C.. where he discussed before the board of army review the advisabilty of con structing locks and dams in the Ala bama river between Selma and Mont gomery. MT. Kealhofer's visit to the national capital was for the purpose of demurring to the report of Colonel Fitch, the chief officer in charge of the government engineering corps in this state. to the effect that the commerce on the Alabama river was not suffi- cient to justify the construction of more than one dam on the river between Selma and Montgomery, and that one lock and dam was inadequate for nav igation purposes.
 MT. k Eealhofer was accompanied be- fore the board of review by Congress- man Hugh Dent of Montgomery. The representative of the Business Mems league carried with him maps and plans, together with letters from tn. mayor and other city officials, urging the construction of the dams It IS hoped that Mr. Kealhofer's visit to Washington will have the effect of in terestinR the chief engineer of the United States army in the work
