DR.. Burmaster is an eye specialist
at 1877 Dearborn avenue and is a
bachelor. He is reported to have a
hobby for fighting gambling and has
been pursuing this hobby for four
years. He says he intends to drive
grain speculation from Chicago, on
the ground that it is gambling.
Attorney Lyman w. Rogers. who
is representing DR.. Burmaster in his

No open charge that the Harmon

the friends of Woodrow Wilson and
Champ Clark believe. A friendly
but firm intimation from these
camps have been conveyed to the
Harmon men that their tactics are
going to cause trouble if persisted in.
Champ Clark, as we'll as Harmon,
is to be a speaker at the dinner, and
Clark's friends are not trying to con-

man is quite as promising a candi-

BUSINESS MEN AT
THEIR FINE BANQUET
HOUSE AND FLAT BUILDING WAS
DISCUSSED FROM VARIOUS
POINTS TO INCREASE THE
POPULATION.

Notwithstanding the very inclem-
ent weather Thursday evening the
banquet that was given by the Com
cercial club was largely attended,
one hundred men being gathered
around the board at the cafe of the
Mitchell Catering Co. The banquet
was served at 6 o'clock, the COM
pany presented a very fine menu,
with turkey as the piece de resistance,
which was served in a very prompt
and capable manner. The table dec
orations were furnished by the New
burys in compliment to the club, and
which was very muc appreciated by
the officers.
When the menu had been finished
and the cigars passed around, Presi-
dent Burns called the men to order
and spoke with enthusiasm on the
splendid turnout that was noticeable,
which, he was glad to say, was always
the fact when there was something of
Importance to be brought before the
club.
He introduced Mayor Hitchcock
who presented to the men a statement
as to the necessity for house-building
and a possible apartment or two in
which to house the people wha de-
sired to come to Mitchell to live. The
mayor stated that he had been in
formed by the secretary of the Com
mercial club that there were fifty
families ready to o to Mitchell
right now if there were only houses
good enough to move into. The may
or said that what was particularly
needed was good houses, with mod
ern improvement. 1t is true that
many good houses have been built
in years past, but it was the case
where the owner moved into the new
house and left the old one for rent,
and as a genral case they wer not
of tn character which the better class
of people wanted to occupy when they
came to the city.
The mayor went on to say that
1t was now possible to build farther
out from the business district where
property was not so hight. and where
sewer and water could be secured,
which was not the case a few years
ago. This will offer really good adj
vantages for building in either d.rec-
ton from Main street at the present

The strawberry is one of the first
fruits to appear on the market in the
spring, and probably is more general
ly used during it's season than any
other. 1t is easy to raise, prolific, and
should be found in every farmers gar
den. Any land that will grow corn
will grow a fair crop of strawberries.
A well-drained, rich, friable loan is
best. A northern slope is to be pre-
ferred
Plants-Procure plants from some

BILE. 1t is not good plan to get them

great care in growing the plants, as

Varieties-There are two classes of
strawberries, distinguished from one
another by their blossoms-one having
both stamens and pistils, that is both

flower. called staminate, and the other

gans, called pistillate. There are
few varieties of staminate, or perfect
Towering Strawberries, which may be
planted by themselves with good re-
suits. Among these is the Senator
Dunlap. Usually it is better to plant
both pistillate and staminate' varieties,
as the pistillate varieties seem to bear
the most Strawberries. When this is
done two rows OF pistillate are planted
to one row of staminate. Among the
best varieties for general culture of
the staminate are Bederwood, Spleen
did, Enhance, and Senator Dunlap.
Among the pistillate Warfeld, Haver-
land and Crescent are the best, S~

as early in the spring as the land can
be worked. 1t is therefore good plan
to manure and pillow in the fall, and
then disc and harrow finely in the
spring. Mark out the rows the long

used for the bed. Four feet between

AS soon as the patch is planted, cul-
tivation should begin, and continue
during the season as long as possible.
All flowers should be kept trimmed off
the first season, as they only weaken
the plant. Runners should be en-
corraged to fill the space between the
plants, thus forming matted row two
or three feet wide. In the case of va.
rieties that send out great many run
ners, they should be thnned, so as not
to stand closer than six or eight

Mr.. Gibbs rolls his ground before
planting; begins cultivation as soon
as the rows can be seen; and there
after cultivates once a week with a
wheel-hoe. The last hoeing he does
with single high-wheel cultivator.
Hand-weeding commences with the
hrst wheel-hoeing, and is repeated
three times in the season.; care being
taken that the weeds get no such

Globe onions pay better than fat
ones, as buyers prefer them, and be-
cause the yield is Is per cent more in

Harvesting should commence the
last week in August. Once pulled, the
onions should not be left on the
ground more than three or four days
before topping, lest they deteriorate

bushel crates for storing. A ready
sale is more certain if they are grown
