Employs Expert Engineers to
Give Estimate of Cost to
Build Lighting Plant.
DULUTH-EDIsoN COMPANY
BIDS FOR NEW CONTRACT
Offers to Furnish Street Lighting
at Reduced Rate-Enabling
Act Has Effect.

The council took the first step Mon
day evening toward the municipal
ownership of an electric lighting
plant. Under resolution unanimous
to be engaged for the purpose OF
making an estimate Of the cost OF
duplicating the plant of the Duluth
Edison Electric company.
The engineers selected are Oscar
Clausen of St. Paul and Charles L.
pillsbury of Minneapolis. The latter
is we'll known to the people of Du-
luth, he giving estimates to the city
ON a former proposition. 1t is ex-
.pected they will finish their work in
five months. They hope to put or
a strong force of estimators, and will
lose no time in furnish their con-
clusion to the council.
Bond Issue Next Election.
If the preliminaries can be fin
ished in time it is hoped by the ad-
vocates of municipal ownership to
submit the question Of voting bonds
for the construction of an electric
next spring election.
Already it is whispered that this
is to be the Big ssue in the city cam
paign. and candidates for mayor will
be asked to pledge themselves either
for or against the proposition. Presi-
dent Joseph Sharted Of the council
is the leading advocate Of municipal
ownership, and his interest in the
movement may make him a logical
candidate for mayor of Duluth.
Fruit of Agitation Seen.
The agitation for municipal owner
ship and the fact that the city now
enjoys the right to issue bonds for
the purpose of acquiring or con-
structing' it's electric lighting plant
nave already had a salutatory effect
In a proposition to the council last
Monday evening the Duluth Edison
Electric company offered to furnish
light to the city at a much reduced
price.
Arc lights are offered at the rate
of $45 a year. This is 50 less than
is paid under the present contract
A, saving of So each per year is of
fered on each cluster of two 16 candle
power electrict lights for street light
ing purposes.
Many Free Lights Offered.
Free current is offered for light
ing the city hall, police headquarters
Jail. an electric sign over the aerial
bridge and all public buildings in
cl3ding fire halls, library, and the
city hospital. All of the city park
will be lighted free.
The company also agrees to fur
nish to the city without additional
charge magnetic arc lamps at the
rate of 100 such lamps the first year
and so additional lamps each year
during the life Of the contract, which
is to be for a period Of ten years
What "Friends'' Cost the People
Those men who fought the passage
of an enabling act in the state legis-
lature for the past ten years which
would give the city the right to con.
struct it's lighting plant, will now
have an opportunity to learn how
much they cost the people of this
city during that time. The rates
offered bl the Duluth Edison com.
pany last Monday evening might have
been secured long ago were some
friends of Duluth really and trul,
friends of the people.

WHY CROPS ARE CULTIVATED
Main Reason Is TO Keep Down Grass
and Weeds and for Rapid Growth
Purpose Of Mulch.
(By G. II. ALFoRD.)

(By G.. H. ALFORD.)
We cultivate crops to keep down
grass and weeds and promote rapid
growth.
The first working Of the crop may
be three or four inches deep, but after
that, as rule, cultivation about one
inch deep Is much better for the crop.
for the reason 1t does not cut of the
feed roots of the plants. The large
heel sweep, the harrow, or the one or
two-horse cultivator with wide shovel.
clearing row at time and cutting
about one inch deep, giving much bet
ter results and do much more rapid
work than the turn-plow or solid
sweep. The turn-plow is out OF place
in a crop. urA-~-- *he soil Is devoid OF
vegetable IL. and runs together
often, heavy rams or unless 1t rains
for two or three weeks and 1t is nee
essary to bury grass, the soil becomes
hard after heavy rains, 1t may be ad.
visable to use the turn-plow as nee
essary evil II 1t Is absolutely neces-
sary to use the turn-plow to stir the
soil or to clean out grass and weeds
late In the season, by all means avoid
deep cultivation and cultivation close
to the plants. And be sure to use Gull
tiyators or harrows few days after
using the turn-plow, to thoroughly pull
verize the soil and make mulch.
The reasons for keeping mulch on
the soil are seldom given. The main
reason is to stop the rising soil mois-
ture just at depth where there are
the most plant roots to utilize 1t. We
are all familiar with the moist state OF
the ground beneath the plank or board
that has lain in one position for some
time; still 1t may not have occurred
to us why 1t is so. Now let us see Ii
we cannot reason 1t out. The soil Is
composed of very small grains ar
ranged among themselves in such
way as to form minute capillary tubes
that connect the bottom layers OF the
soil with the top layers. The water In
the soil passes up through these tubes
to the surface, where 1t is evaporated.
Now IL we could place broad plank
all over the surface Of our cultivated
fields 1t would be impossible for the
water that is brought to the surface
by capillarity to evaporate. Such
method, however, is not at all practical
BILE. but we can easily initiate this
method by spreading dust mulch
over the top of the soil. In other
words, shallow cultivation breaks on
the little tubes through which the wa.
ter escapes. A single cultivation In
dry weather Is not sufficient. AS soon
as the soil settles again, these little
tubes become re-established and evap.
grafton again commences.

pastures lespedeza commonly holds Its
own with broom sedge and similar
coarse grasses and unquestionably
adds materially to the grazing. It Is
perhaps no exaggeration to state that
1t has increased the carrying capacity
of practically all the pasture land Of

Every girl who has seen ward

CoIors TO Wear.

In spite of advice to the contrary.
blondes should avoid the lighter
shades of blue, which make their COM
plexions seem ashen. The darker
shades, however, throw the complex
ion In high relief and are vastly be-
coming.
True brunettes should not wear blue,
which makes the skin yellower than
ever. but florid brunettes can do SO.
Blondes may wear green, but not bru-
nettes. Pale brunettes may wear any
shade of red but crimson, which, how
ecer, looks we'll on the blonde. Yellow
is the best color for pale brunettes,
especially for evening wear. 1t clears
the complexion and sets off the dark
sves and hair wonderfully.

SUPERIOR CLOVER HAY
Lespedeza Is Distinguished by
Its PurpIish Blossoms.
Summer Annual That Begins Growth
In Middle Part OF Spring, but Does
Not Reach Maturity Until
September or October.

Lespedeza, or Japan clover, is .
native of eastern Asia that was first
found In this country In central Geor-
gia In 1886 It has spread since then
so that 1t now covers more or less
abundantly, the whole area from CEN
trail New Jersey westward to central
Kansas and southwark to the Gulf Of
Mexico.
Lespedeza is summer annual that
begins its growth in the middle part
of spring but does not reach maturity
until September or October. 1t is
sometimes confused with the yellow
lowered hop clovers, but is readily
distinguished by it's purplish blossoms,
which do not appear until August or
later. while the hop clovers bloom
early.
Over most of its area lespedeza grows
only four to six inches high, and there
has thus arisen the common idea that
it Is adapted only to grazing. Under
favorable conditions, however, espe-
cially In the lower Mississippi valley
on certain soils, the plants grow COM
monty to a height of IL inches, fire.
quently reaching Is inches, and in
exceptional cases "a to 80 inches.
Where the stand is very thin the
plants have a PROSTATE habit, but
where it is thick they grow upright.

and the yield of hay from such plants
is large, often exceeding two tons per
acre and exceptionally reaching three
or even four tons per acre.
Under such conditions lespedeZa is
q crop of very high value. which has
become more and more appreciated in
late years, so that many farmers now
employ it in regular rotations. 1t Is
not improbable that wider knowl-
edge of the merits of the crop will
cause it to be more generally culti-
waited and perhaps over a consideras
bly, wider area.
Lespedeza grows during practically
the same season as certain other legu-
minous forage crops: |. e.. coWpeas.
soy beans, velvet beans, and beggar-
weed. It's desirability in any particu-
lar place will depend upon its ability
TO compete with the aforementioned
crops.
The value of lespedeza for grazing
was early recognized, and 1t has been
looked upon with high favor as q
constituent of pastures. It grows In
all types of soil, even the poorest. and
thus furnishes considerable guam
THY of forage in pine barrens and In
gravelly soils where scarcely any other
plants grow. The natural spread OF
the plant has made 1t a constituent OF

grow In very poor soils, either In
fields or in open woodlands, and to
withstand severe drought. It's value
depends upon It's palatability, It's high
feeding value, which approaches al
falfa, and Its ability to thrive under
all sorts of conditions, and thus to
