Weed, and weed and weed again
In brief, pull up every weed as soon
as you see it. All the work OF this
kind done this season will save
great deal of labor next year. for
every plant allowed to go to seed
will most likely be perpetuated by a
thousand seedlings.
Make a practice of going over the
garden beds and clipping away seed
vessels. The plants will at once set
about making good their loss and as
flowers are the first step toward the
formation of seed, they will soon pro-
duce a new crop of blossoms.
In this way make almost constant
boomers of kinds that won't bloom

than ordinary weeds. 1t is when
they are allowed to grow for sea
son that the trouble begins. There

Wisconsin Man Given Six Months for

house, and given six months in the
state prison at Saltwater, and fined
$50 for having given an Indian
whiskey.
Parkhurst who is from Wis
consin was arrested Saturday
in Cass Lake by Marshall Lilly who
had become suspicious of the man
when he was seen going up to an
Indian and opening his coat evident
ly showing the 'shigh sign after
which the two walked through an
alley where Parkhurst was seen
handing something over to the In
dian. Parkhurst was arrested and
also the Indian who was serched and
pint bottle of booze found in his
possession. At first Parkhurst de-
MED having given the Indian the H.
quor but finally confessed, saying
that he did not think he was doing
anything wrong. He had recently
arrived in Cass Lake having worked
several weeks in a logging camp in
that vicinity and went to Cass Lake
Saturday to spend the day.
After the hearing before Judge
Ives Saturday afternoon the prisoner
was brought to Bemidji by Deputy
Sheriff Mack Kennedy on the eve

Judge Stanton with the result as
above stated.
