EVENING STARS
PROVERB CONTEST
TO EXERCISE WIT
$4,000 in Prizes Not
Something for
Nothing

Something for nothing, as every
good business man knows. is prop
osition to fight shy of. In this COM
mercial age benevolent presentations
are eyed askance and the lure of the
treasure with the pound of tea exists
no longer. Quality of proposition and
sincerity Of purpose are demanded in
the business world today, and the
field for the film -hammer'' is gone.
So do not think that the Evening
Stars Proverb Contest is a simple
little scheme by virtue of which you
may conveniently increase your bank
account or add to the parlor en-
bellishments without the least effort
on your part. 1t Is not that, by any
means; If II were, there would be an
immediate and notable slump in the
enthusiasm and interest of those hum
dreds of Star readers who have signi-
fled their intention to compete in the
latest and greatest of newspaper
competitions. and are eagerly await
ing the appearance of the first picture
in the Evening Star next Wednesday.
for they would Immediately come to
the conclusion that there was "some-
thing rotten in Denmark" quit figur-
ing on their chances of winning and
take to reading the Becker trial or
some equally horrifying. but less
profitable matter.
A Splendid Opportunity.
No, the proverb contest isn't any
thing like that Here is what 1t is:
1t is a splendid opportunity for all
persons permanently living in New
Jersey to spend part of their leisure
time in an intensely interesting, even
exciting, way, and at the same time
improve their education and financial
standing. Concentration, ambition
and sincerity of purpose are abso-
lutely necessary, that is all. 1t is not
necessary to pore over proverbs to
the exclusion of everything else. but
Just to use the moments, which would
be otherwise frittered away and lost
in default of something TO do, to good
advantage Thousands will devote
the strap-hanging period, on their
way home from work, to the solution
of the proverb pictures; thousands
more will get their friends and rela-
tives together and employ the time,
instead of in amless chat, to the in
teresting and profitable decipherment
of the proverbs.
And-in each family there will come
to be n time known as "proVero

every member; and, when all out

TWO D|Az AIDES
SHOT TO DEATH
Writ Granted Removing Rebel
Leader from Military Courts
Jurisdiction.

VERA CRUZ. Mexico. Oct. 25.-Two
of the captured officers of the staff of
Felix Diaz were shot by the Federal
troops at 1890 last evening, after
being sentenced to death by summary
court martial. The execution was
carried out with absolute secrecy.
Their names were Major Zarate and
Major Cuesta.
The court martial began its sessions
at o'clock in the evening and its
judgments must be delivered and the
verdicts put into effect within
seventy-two hours from the time OF
meeting.
Commodore Azueta. of the Federal
navy, called last evening on General
Beltran, the Federal commander-in-
chief. who received him coldly telling
him that he did not adopt a definite
attitude during the Diaz revolution.
1t is reported that the commodore

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 25.--A writ re-
moving General Felix Diaz, the rebel
lender, from the jurisdiction of the
military court was granted last night
by the federal judge of the First Dis
trict Court here. The action was
taken on the plea of Lieutenant
Colonel Munoz a cousin of Felix Diaz.
The full court will decide whether
Diaz is to be returned to the jurisdic-
tion of the military court or tried be-
fore a civil tribunal.
Government officials insist that Diaz
is amenable to military Jurisdiction,

lating to civilians who incite the army

and his eyes narrowed down to little
Sits as he thought about it.
No more for me- he blurted out.
Did you ever conceive some hideous
idea of Hades? Well, I've got some
hideous ideas, too, but they're all
about training. The hereafter doesn't
bother ne so much.
Every once in a while, usually at
night when I'm sitting at home and
enjoying the ease and comfort of a
nice place, / think of the wrestling
game and wonder how it would be to
start out again. Say, the chills just
begin to creep all over me when I
fancy those six weeks, or maybe it
would have to be eight weeks this
time, of work that would be necessary
to get me into condition
Now, I've had unpleasant things
come up in my life, and later had to
go through them again. That's the
way with most of us, l guess. But
with training it is vastly different
The tortures of training never will
be erased from my memory.
People say | get my money easy
because it was just natural for me to
wrestle; well, | have all the natural
qualifications. I wish these people
knew the truth. It's the hardest
money man ever got
They are scolding me In some
quarters because l don't wrestre
Zbyszko again. They may keep on
scolding. l don't care. l beat him
once; don't doubt that I could do so
again, but l haven't the slightest in
clination to try it. That's final, and
l don't care how strong you make

TIMING AT OLYMPIC GAMES
Novel Electric Method Used in Some
Races to Get Exact Time-Dcvice
Settles All Disputes.

At the Olympic games at Stockholm
there was used novel electric
method for timing the runners in soma
OF the races, so as to get the exact
time made by the winner, and also to
decide who crossed the line first, even
when the difference was very small.
The starter gave the signal by firing
pistol and this was connected by
electric wires with two stop watches
and these commenced to run for TAX
ing the time. The start and finish
were at the same point, and across the
track light string was stretched be-
tween poles and the string was also
connected with the stop watches for
stopping them. The first conner broke
the string when crossing the line so
that the watches were stopped and the
exact time between start and finish
could be seen. Breaking the string
also served to work an electric device
for the shutter Of n camera which was
mounted just on the finish line and
above the judges stand so that the
photographer had an image of the win
ner when crossing the finish line
This method is very useful in settling
all disputes-La Nature, Paris.

WAY OF MARKETING APPLES
New Scheme Tried by New England
Growers With Apparent Succees-
How Plan Is Worked

The objections to marketing apples
in the old way through commission
men has always given rise to much
complaint. A new scheme has recent
ly been tried by New England apple
growers.
Under this plan the farmer sells his
apples outright to the commission
agent for an amount less than their
full value. The agency then disposes
of the product for as high a price as
lie can get. At the end of the year
he settles with the grower. The
amount formerly paid the farmer, as
well as storage and transportation
costs, are deducted from the gross sell
ing price. The remainder is d.ided
between farmer and commission agent.
The plan, wherever tried, has work
ed well for both parties. The indif-
ference Of the agent to everything but
his commission is done away with, for
his profits increase with each increase
in the selling price of the apples. The
new plan has not been very widely
adopted as yet, but it is thought that
wher its advantages are fully known
it will largely supplant the old slip
shod method.

The mat game will know it's greatest
exponent, Frank Gotch, no more, ac-
oording Ed Smith, close friend Of the
wrestler. Smith said:
The absolute horror of training out
weigh in the Gotch mind the love-or
need, as the case may be-of money.
In other words, the champion will at
tempt to worry along now on what he
has accumulated and live in peace
and quiet. Also he will live without
the torture of having to think that
within a certain time he will have to
start the hideous grind of going on
the road in order to get himself fit
for hard match.
Dante never pictured worse tor
ture or narrowed a soul with more
frightful ideas of an inferno than
Gotch entertains about training.
ITS n strange situation, but true
one nevertheless. And other athletes
who have reached certain stage af-
ter the troubIous years of the grind,
talk in much the same strain as does
Gotch.
THE other day I ran into Gotch in
a downtown hotel. 1t was the first
time l had seen him since last fall,
when he wrestled Hackenschmidt
here. Clad in a woolly overcoat and
under heavy cloth hat, the Iowa star
looks as fat and sleek as a retired
business man, whose one aim was to
exact most Of the good things out Of
this life.

VIBRATION FOR SAVING BUDS
Trembling Motion Is Impaired to All
Limbs of Tree, Starting Sap and
Affording Protection.

A recent invention relates to n new
system of motor operated tree vibra-
ton for saving buds and blossoms
from frost. The new system aims
to create in fruit trees a movement of
the sap to the buds and blossoms that
tends to vitalize them enough to re-
sist the attacking blight of frost. This
movement of the sap might be called
a capillary action, and can be lik-
ened to the gentle exercising action
of an electric vibrator instrument on
the human system, which stimulates
the flowing action of blood through
the veins especially at the point
where the vibrator is applied.
The system for imparting this vi
bratory action to buds and blossoms
has been worked out and patented by

LEAF MOLD OF MUCH VALUE
Nothing Better Suited for Improving
Flower Beds or Adding to All
Kinds of Soils.
CBy w. L. GILBERT1

This term is applied to leaves when
they are SO thoroughly decayed rs to
readily separate into small particles.
Leaf molds is a valuable manure in
many instances, especially on heavy
soils, and one of the most important
ingredients for the soil used in the
successful cultivation OF the majority
of plants.
1t may be used freely, particularly
with the tender seedlings and cuttings
of soft wooded subjects, provided it
be of good quality and free from IN.
furious fungous growths.
The production of roots in young
plants of this description is induced
and accelerated with more certainty
by planting in this material than by
the use of any other.
The quality of leaf mold depends
very materially upon the sort of leaves
composing it and in the manner Of
preparation adopted
1t is found from. experience that
the best leaves are those collected
from wood or other place where the
principal trees are beech and oak, and
where their leaves fall over a large
surface each year, and naturally decay
slowly, until those beneath the sur
face become changed into light
mold.
Leaf mold of good quality may be
used to the extent of about one-third
in cOmposts for azaleas, greenhouse
rhododendrons, and many fine-rooted,
hard-wooded plants of this descrip-
ton.
1t may also with advantage be in
corporated along with peat in tho
preparation of beds for nearly all
plants of the heath family which are
grown out of doors.
Further, nothing is better suited for
improving tower-beds, or for adding
to soil of any description. for placing
round trees, shrubs or plants whose
roots 1t is desired to encourage.
