rain and weather do not always

While many Of our row crops.
such AS kailir maize. broom

too large to straddIe with the

Increase the yield very much
by cultivating lightly between
the rows. This is especially de-
slraDie now, after the rains; il
keeps crusts from forming, be-
sides killing some weeds, and in
this way saves the moisture for
future crop use. The yield can
often be increased from one half /.
TO double by late cultivation.
Any one horse cultivator or
harrow that will work the sur
face from one to two inches
in depth will answer the purpose.
A weighted moving machine
wheel dragged between the
rows will do a great deal of
good. Deep late cultivation is
not advisable.
1t is well, also, to remember
that weeds allowed to grow in
the rows, DO not preserve the
moisture by shading the ground.
As genera rule, the weeds get =

OUR WORTHY POOR.

While in the mad rush Of coplmer- clalism. the heat and strife of poli- tics. the controversy over this or that. seems to keep the public mind absorbed to the exclusion of all else. yet there is notable in our citizen shlp strain of charitable interest in unfortunate fellowmen ssiich is prob- ably not 'equalled elsewhere.
 We tabulate our financial affairs, and we rennmerate our profits sad losses, anu we have q statistical re- cord Of our visiting patronage that means business but there is fIot sam as as humanity al~sss washing il nour shores cared for in some unorganized silent sort of way, bui never put iu tiis records.

Every shopper who goes on the highway to make purchases for friends. carving out the custom of the season. remembers to incident ally drop 3 mite in the way Of public char charity iissy. to tito cid that some friend less less unfortunate might receive some- thing 10 brighten his or her Christ mas.
 The looking after the friendless task is q larger one thFn we expect All of us concede that the cities rack with their poor. All of us talk Of the misery of people in other countries. But too few of us real. ize inc worthy charity that lies with in our paths.

WITNESS AGAINST LORIMER
is SUED FOR $25, 900
John Henning Accuses Clarence s.
Funk of Alternating His
Wife's Affections,

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, October 14.-Clarence
S. Funk, general manager Of the In
ternatiOnal Harvester Company, and
one Of the chief witnesses against
Senator Lorimer in the bribery in
vestigation. today was made the de-
fendant in a mysterious twenty-fi five
thousand dollar damage suit filed in
the circuit court.
In the declaration one John Hen
ming is named as plaintiff. He charges
that Mr.. Funk has alienated the at
fections of his wife. Mrs. Josephine
Henning.
Mr.. tunk. after a consultation with
Z. a. Bancroft. general counsel for the
International Harvester Company, issued
the following statement:
Il have never seen or heard of John
Henning or his wife, consequently there
is no possible basis for this suit The
animus of the action is too apparent. 1t
is a frame-up. 1t Is in perfect line with
the use Of detectives. female decoys and
other disreputable efforts to incriminate
and involve me. They all emanate from
well known source. which already is
so thoroughly discredited in the public
mind that this latest effort will wholly
fail Of its purpose. The senatorial COM
mittee i'm the Lorimer case. now sitting
in Chicago. is fully acquainted with ear
lier attempts of this sort This suit will
never come to trial and was not brought
with that expectation"
