Insurrectos Capture Juarez.

The insurrectos under Francisco
l. Madero captured the city of
Juarez May 10, after long fight
in which about SO federals were
killed, and fifteen rebels. The
wounded were estimated at $50 on
both sides. Colonel Navarro sur
rendered with about 700 troops
after being surrounded in the
center Of the city.
The capture of juarez is con-
sidered the most important insur-
recto exploit Of the revolution and
is thought to give much prestige
to the insurrecto cause. Madero's
troops achieved a few minor sue
cesses in other parts Of Mexico
during the latter part Of the week.
American surgeons going into
Tuarez on the nth found the
federal wounded in the so-called
hospital in frightful condition,
many having had no attention
whatever for weeks and months.

70 Build new DAM

WARRANTS 10 Be ISSUED

The village trustees discussed
the proposition Of building a stone
and concrete dam, at the adjourned
meeting held Monday night, and
voted to accept 5000 from the
Rathdrum Water & Power company
for payment on the land which the
board had arranged to purchase
from S. E. Fleming for reservoir
and water protective purposes on
Spring branch, the company to be
released from all further liability
under the contract drawn up at the
time the town purchased the water
system. The land in question ex-
tends from 50 feet below the
present dam up the creek to the
timber above the site Of the upper
dam and is estimated to contain
about 2 acres. A formal demand
was made by the board upon the
water company for the $2oo.
The question Of how to provide
funds for building new dam was
talked over and it developed that
the consensus Of opinion Of the
board was that the more expedi-
tious way would be to proceed at
once to build the dam and issue
warrants, arrangements to be made
with banks or individuals to take
up the warrants and hold them
until they are called.

treasurer and collector in the sum
Of $4,000 was read and approved.

CONGRESS UNRULY team.
Insurgent Senators Have Bal
ance Of Power.
HOUSE DEMOCRATS A UNIT.
In Fnacting Much Important
Legislation.

Washington, D. c., May 15.-
TIE national Legislative body now
in session in congress is proving
to be an unruly team. The Re-
publican majority in the senate
cannot elect president pro tenn.
The insurgent senators have the
balance Of power and led by Sena-
tors LaFollette and Cummins were
able to defeat Senator Gallinger Of
New Hampshire, the caucus nomi-
nee. The Democratic house is
well organized and aggressive, and
with its powerful majority acting
as unit, is passing much import
ant legislation. 1t has passed the
Canadian reciprocity bill and the
farmers free list bill, and these
measures are now before the senate.
Delegations Of farmers protesting
to be representative are besieging
the senate and the President in an
effort to kill the Canadian reci-
procity bill, but on the other hand
there are delegations from the
west and northwest, including
agricultural representatives, much
more numerous, urging the passage
by the senate of the reciprocity act.
Chairman Underwood is confident
that much more important tariff
program than has yet been pre-
sented to the lower house will be
passed by this body, the majority
! Of whom it appears are in favor Of
free wool. The wiser heads of the
Democratic majority are in favor
of materially reducing the tariff on
wool, but are opposed to SO drastic
!, measure as admitting it duty
free.
One Of the most important in
vestigations ever made by the
interstate commerce commission
is that Of the express companies Of
the United States. This investi-
cation is now under way. The

thought that the outcome will be
complete change in the express
business of the country. Quite
recently there was held in Wash
ington convention relative to the
much talked about and written
about parcels post. This was at

The field pea is grown to a consid-
cradle extent in certain sections of
Wisconsin with excellent results. The
best yields are obtained on clay loan
soils, which are not too rich. The
largest crops are secured on fall
plowed land, which has been well ma
nured for a previous crop. The crop
may be harvested economically by cut
ting the peas with a mower equipped
with a pea lifting attachment. The
crop must be thoroughly cured in
small covered punches before it is
stored.
The value of the pea crop lies both
In the worth of the peas as feed for
farm animals and in the beneficial
effect of the plant as soil improver.
The average yields of an acre of peas
contains more digestible protein than
any other common Wisconsin grain
crop and the yield of peas per acre
averages above wheat. The heavy
yielding varieties furnish excellent
food for pigs, and sheep may be fed

phoric Acid combined" and Potash 7S.44 per
cent from total of 101.07.
Considerable more than one-half Of Phos-
plate of Potash.
Analysis of Grape-Nuts shows: Potassium
and Phosphorus (Which join and make Phos-
phate of Potash) is considerable more than
one-half Of all the mineral salts in the food.
Dr. Geo. W. Carey an authority on the
constituent elements Of the body, says: "The
gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely
by the inorganic cellsalt, Potassium Phos-
phate phosphate of Potash) This salt unites
with albumen and by the addition Of oxygen
creates nerve fluid the gray matter of the
salts and other organic matter in nerve fluid,
but Potassium Phosphate is the chief factor
and has the power within itself to attract, by
it's own law of affinity, all things needed to
manufacture the elixir Of life."
Further on he says: "The beginning and end
Of the matter is to supply the lacking principle,
and in molecular FORM exactly as nature fur
nishes it in vegetables, fruits and grain. To
supply defciencies-this is the only law of
cure"
The natural conclusion is that If Phosphate
of Potash is the needed mineral element in
brain and you use food which does not contain
it, you have brain flag because its daily loss is
not supplied.
On the contrary, If you eat food known to
be rich in this element, you place before the
life forces that which nature demands for
brain-building.
Mind does not work well on brain that is
broken down by lack of nourishment

sary to good digestion.

CARE OF
TOBACCO
PLANTS
In THE
PLANT BED

The tobacco seed is very small,
consequently 1T contains only very
small amount of reserve food for de-
veloping leaves and roots. Very soon
after the seed has sprouted, 1t must
rely upon its own roots to obtain
plant food from the soil. For this rea-
son there is a period of two or three
weeks just after the plants appear
above the surface Of the soil, that
they apparently make no growth. Dur
ing this time all the material the
small leaves are capable of elaborat-
ing goes towards the formation Of the
root system which is to furnish the
elements of plant food from the SOIL
When the root system finally gets
large enough to supply more food
than is necessary for the production
OF roots, the leaves begin to grow.
At this critical period in the life of
the plant, it is essential that the beds
receive frequent and careful atten-
ton. The soil should not be allowed
to dry out to any depth as this may
materially check or even kill some
plants. Cold water should not be
used. It is better to let 1t stand in
barrels or tanks for day or two I'M
til the chill has been removed. The
water should not be flooded over the
plants, but be put on SO as to allow
1t to soak into the soil gradually.
Water thoroughly and rarely in
stead Of small applications at fire.
quent intervals Each time the bed
is watered the soil should be made
wet to depth of three or four inches,
when the plants are still small, and
six or seven inches when the plants
are large. The surface soil may then
be allowed to dry off occasionally
without injury to the plants, and feed
ing roots will go down in the soil in
stead of remaining at the surface.
Pull Weeds often.

per acre of peas against 1922, and
1913 bushels respectively of wAeat,
barley and rye.
The field pea is leguminous plant,
and in common with other leguraes,
such as clover, alfalfa, and the
vetches, has the ability to gather nit
rogen from the atmosphere. Like
these crops, peas increase the store
of nitrogen in the soil. For this rea-
son peas are a good crop to raise on
soils naturally deficient in nitrogen,
such as the newly cleared, red clay
lands.
Peas also increase the fertility of
the soil by increasing the supply of
humus and thus improve it's physical
character, making it more porous and
mellow. Peas probably do this in part
by means of the dense foliage, which
helps to keep the soil moist by ex-
Guiding the sunlight.
Peas are also a good crop to SOW
for green manure. If sown as late as
July Is, large amount of green mat
ter will be grown by middle of Sep
TENDER. For this purpose the small
yellow field peas should be used, as
the seed is smaller and will give a
thicker stand for given amount Of
seed per acre.
