10 Mayor Seitcr-An Agricultural
Protest Against Condition of Streets
Some Inclined to Think.

Not since the county fair have so
many people viewed so splendid an
agricultural exhibit as was shown on
north Main street Just north of the
railroads this morning. 1t is a tribute
to the energy and industry of the
business men Of that section of the
city and shows the marvellous fertility
of the soil.
In a single hour, Between and
Z o'clock, about twenty-five hills Of
corn sprung up maglcally. A few
pumpkins, mango plant or two and
some tomato vines were found TO be
growing in luXurlant plentifulness by
the hundreds of spectators who journ-
eyed north of the tracks.
1t happened this way: The streets
are in a terribly filthy condition There
was much unused soil going to waste
and, being conservationlsts, the north
enders decided TO utilize this ground
for advertising the advantages of tho
north end. The dirt was swept from
both sides to the center Of the street.
where 1t was carefully laid out in
small farms and the crops described
above were planted,
Blue and red premium cards from
the county fair were affixed to the
best displays of vegetables and then
some wag put up a for rent sign. This
informed the observer that five acres
of this fine farming land could be
rented from Mayor Setter for cash
rent. Some people are unklnd enough
to guess that this bit of enterprise
on the part of the north enders is a
sort of an agricultural protest against
the condition of the streets. Tom
Clary says he knows a good bit about
fertilizers but he isn't enough of a
farmer to have wrought the wonder
now on exhibition
Anyhow, it's a fine piece of work
and teams and autimobiles are re-
framing religiously from molesting 1t
