ARE FIGHTING AMENDMENT.
Continued from page one.)

Continued from page ohe''
amendment is to make an equltaoIe
method of assessment for street I'M
movements. The present method Is
NOT equitable. For instance, there
NAV be two lots side by side, one OIL
which has a large ditch in front of IT,
The man who owns the property must
nav for the filling of that ditch, max
ING his assess ment perhaps twice as
large as his neighbOr, whereas the
benefit to the property from the I'M
proyement is the same to each. Thls'
Of course, would be changed by the
new amendment and each would pay
the same.
No arbitrary rule can be fixed as
to what property should be included
in an assessment district. Each dis
trict will be fixed when the time
comes to improve a street, and H.
when the lines are drawn some prop
ertv in that district is not benefited
BY the Improvement, that property
cannot be assessed, even though it is
within the lines of the district.

Heavy Handicap.

He was an immaculate servant. To

he never smiled, and his mutton-chop

old and faithful stock. But one even

showed unaccountable signs Of nerv-

he confused it with the pheasant. He
served everything in the wrong or

put a final touch to his shame by up
setting the salt over the only super
stitious member of the party Then,

DIFFERENT TYPES OF HORSES
Costs Farmer More to Purchase
Heavyweight Than II Does to Raise
Few interesting Facts.

To get more information on the
question Of cost of raising horses the
selling price of different types was
considered. At the present time, LOO
pound horses are quoted on the mar
ket at around $40; 1,500-pound horses
at $500, and 1.8OO-pound horses around
$275. Thus, we see by comparing
figures illustrating the cost with those
of the selling price. that to raise an
1,1O0-pound horse costs s145, whereas
one equally as good can be purchased
for $40. From this, it would seem.
that the farmer who said he could
purchase as cheaply as he could raise
was correct in his reasoning.
When we consider the medium and
heavyweight classes, however. we find
a different order of things. To raise
a 1,50O-pound horse costs s160. while
to purchase one costs 5000, or $40
more than to raise him. With the
/ .8O0-pound horse the matter is still
more interesting as to raise such an
animal costs SITS. while to buy one
costs $275, OF 500 more than to raise
such a horse.

RANGE OF RAcHEL'S VOICE
In Speaking, the Famous French Ac-
tress Had a Compass Of TWO
Full Octaves.

A Prussian prince, a cousin Of the
German Emperor William l., has left
some curious notes upon Rachel, of
whom he was a great admirer. These
have been quoted in a lecture upon
the famous actress. The prince stud
led her elocution from a musical
standpoint and took down notes of
her voice as she delivered some Of
her most effective speeches. He
found, for instance, that in a passage
of Racines "Bajazet" she went down
to F in the bass. In one of andre
maque" and another of "Adrienne Lee
couvreur" her voice spoke a word on
the upper r, and uttered a cry on up
per f sharp. Her speaking voice
thus had a compass of two full oc-
taves. But, as a rule, he observed
that she used only seven notes, con-
sisting of the first seven ascending
notes from the bass of the scale of
F sharp minor, but with the D sharp
ened
It would be curious to know-but
the prince does not seem to have as
ertained-whether this musical nota-
ton of Rachels speaking voice is rig
orous and invariable, and it would be
worth a musicians while to apply the
same study to some contemporary &C
tors and actresses.

MAKE GOOD WITH CANTALoUp
Good Seed Essential for Success In
Melon crowinc-care Needed
Where Irrigation Practical.

By PHILO X. BLINN. Colorado Agri-
cultural College)
The cantaloup grower should be
more of a specialist IN his line. There
are too many Indifferent growers who
are not primarily interested in ths
crop. Like most fruit. the crop re-
quires quite close attention on many
cultural points throughout the season
from seed time until harvest, and only
the most enterprising, who are max
ing a speciality Of the crop, are likely
to succeed.
The commercial cantaloup grower
usually has his time and attention
too much occupied with his crop and
other things TO properly develop and
produce the best grade of seed. AS
a result he generally plants the ordi-
nary seed be is able to save, or de-
ponds on the seed merchant for his
supply. Such seed is usually grown
under contract. and often it is seed
saved after the best Of the crop has
been harvested and shipped on the
market The grower who is Unable to
produce his seed and keep it pure
should depend on a seed breeder who
is making a specially Of the crop for

or tomatoes.
First, do not attempt to grow the
crop on soil united for its needs,
as is often the case. The soil should
be a warm, sandy loan. with the sur
face and the subsoil we'll drained. In
fertility it should equal good clover or
alfalfa sod, or clean land well fer.

Second, the lane should be very
well prepared, to make the plant
food easily available. The plowine
need not be extra deep, but the seed
bed should be fine and well settled
so the plant can make a strong, Wig
orous growth from the first.
Third, plant plenty Of seed, t

ART OF SMILING IMPORTANT
People DO Not Care to Associate With
an Animated Vinegar cruet,
Says Writer.

Why is It that most people, as they
walk along the streets or ride in the
cars have such an unpleasant ex-
preston? II one will observe even
casually the people he meets In a day
he will be impressed with the panied
and sullen and disagreeable counte-
nances. We live in a rush, and the
average person is bent on some err
rand or business and is absorbed in
that; we are all rushing to get some
thing or somewhere. With this alb
sorbing our attention we haven't
time to attend to our facial express
sion. We are not sure, however, that
this is a matter Of permissible indif
ference. If one does not believe that
his countenance adds to or detracts
anything from the lives or expressions
Of others. let him pause for a moment
before that now celebrated "Billiken."
It is almost impossible to look at the
little imp and not smile. The Japan
ese teach their maids in the hotels
and those also in the higher walks Of
life the art of smiling. They are COM
PEELED 10 practice before mirror
One cannot stay long in Japan with

ton to look pleasant" The Took

No one wants to associate long with
an animated vinegar cruet. A DISPOSE
ton is easily guessed from the angle
of the corners Of the mouth; a dis
position is nodded by compelling those
angles to turn up or down. If a mer.
ry heart maketh a glad countenance
it is also true that a glad counte-
nance makes a merry hearth the
one who has it and in the one who

PREVENT INJURY TO FRUII
Apple Trees In Cape Colony, South
Africa, Sprayed With Syrup Of
Water and Molasses.

A new plan for preventing injury to
fruit from apple maggot is being tried
successfully in the orchards OF Cape
Colony. Africa. The trees are slightly
sprayed with syrup made from sugar
or molasses and water. about three
pounds Of sugar 20 four gallons Of wa
ter. The spray is poisoned by adding
three ounces Of arsenate Of lead in
paste form. The fly that lays eggs
producing the maggot is destroyed by
feeding on this syrup. which can be
applied with a common garden syringe
or knapsack sprayer. The spray is
applied once In two weeks, beginning
about a month before the maggots are
expected. The plan is based on the
idea that the eggs are generally laid
in fruit that is nearly full grown. The
plan is a little different from that en-
ployed in this country for the apple
and peach maggot and might be well
worth testing
