silently in the shadows, tensely, with
the effect of fragment of some dis

lascar seemed about to overpower hts

nothing but naked fists and high cour-

into pose of defence.

made possible her escape, and he had

HANDLE MANURE
DIRECT Is BEST
Prof. Gilmore of New York Sta.
taon Finds Much Loss Where
Allowed to BE Exposed
TO Weather.

On the subject of hauling manure.
Professor Gilmore of the New York
experiment station, says:
I'VE think, all things considered. 1t
is better to haul manure directly from
the stable to the fields than 1t is to
pile it up for any length of time.
IF well-rotted manure is desired
for trucking purposes or for top
dressing for hay lands, then 1t must
be stored, but under ordinary condi-
tions for this purpose losses from %
to As per cent. in the fertilizing value
of manure occur, and II 1t Is not kept
reasonably wet and stirred from time
to time, excessive fermentation re-
suits, to say nothing of dry burning
and teaching. Losses amounting to
81 to So per cent. have been recorded
when manure has been exposed to
weather.
This loss refers mainly to the fer
tilizing material in the manure. 1t is
still available as humus or organic
matter when applied to the SOIL"

From fall till spring seems like a
long time 10 boy. especially if he
has a choice lot of seeds that he is
anxious To put into the ground. But
there is great deal to be done dur
ing the time of waiting.
The boy who does not mean to
waste his time and labor must learn
something about what his plants will
need before he is even ready to pre-
pare his ground
The first thing needful is TO under
stand something about the makeup of
the seed itself. As seeds are quite
similar in general characteristics.

understanding of others.
The common white bean is easy TO
get, and 10 study, so We will take in
as an example.

II is through these that the plant
gets its nourishment from the soil.
They take up all the elements that the
plant needs, and send them up

leaves, as your food is taken through
your body by the veins, in the shape
of blood.
The plants blood is called sap,

COLONEL DIRECTS
FROM HOTEL ROOM
Not a Move Will Be Made at
Coliseum Without Receiv-
ing His Approval.
(National News Association

CHICAGO. June ia long confer
ence was held by Col. Rooseveltywith
his chief leaders at the Congress this
morning. The Roosevelt aids received
their final orders and then went to
the Coliseum.
The Colonel was full of fight when
he met his. lieutenants and showed
TO trace of disappointment over the
defeat yesterday on the anniversary
Of the Battle of Waterloo.
William Finn, who appeared care
worn, George w Perkins. Gov Had
ley of Missouri. Gov. Stubs of Kan
sas and Senator Jos. NJ. Dixon parti-
cipated in the conference.
The twenty uniformed policemen de-
tGiled to aid the coloners personal
bodyguard made up of husky white
men from West Virginia and giant
blacks from various sections of the
South, took their places about the
Roosevelt headquarters before

The "signal service" of the Roose-
welt army, the telephone and telegraph
instruments between Roosevelt's room
and the Coliseum were tested careful
ly for. over these wires from within his
tent Colonel Roosevelt planned again
To-Day to direct the battle.
He was in personal charge Of his
forces every moment of the day.

begins.
Ii is to be case OF fine political
discrimination Only when the last
shred of chance for a nomination
before the present convention has
vanished will the Colonel's delegates
be given the signal to leave their
seats In fact. instead of being called

Did you lose a team of horses?
II so you had better call up police

The police, this morning, found a
team of horses on a vacant lot at
West Seventh and A streets. The hors-
es were taken to a livery barn on
North Seventh street where they will
be held for the appearance of the own

without any harness except for a hal

stand.
At II o'clock, the hour for opening
the convention Chairman Root was
posing at his table for a photographer.
As soon as William. Barns, Jr., of New
York, reached his seat in the New
York delegation, he was surrounded
by Taft leaders who sought informa-
ton of the days proceedings.
At 1:15 the convention was called
to order.
AisIes Are Cleared.
Col Stone moved to the front Of the
platform and directed the assistant
sergeant-at-arms to clear the asiles. At
the end Of fifteen minutes confusion
still reigned. Twenty-Five minutes after
the time for the convention to open
many of the delegates had not arriv-
ed. Father O'Callihan, who opened the
prayer yesterday. applied for, admis-
sion to the platform today but having
no ticket was refused admission. He
was taken to Father Upham and given
seat.
At 11:2S the convention was declar-
ed in order by Chairman Root.
Good Natured Crowd.
The bands furnished plenty of mu-
sic. The crowds laughed and chatted.
Good nature on the part of every one
vas evident There was lack of ten
sion and bitterness, which was appar-
ent yesterday at the opening of the
convention. Just before the convention
opened Congressman Mckinley issued
statement and said. I'VE have the
bull by the horns. There is no doubt
as to President Taft's victory as yes
terday's poll gave the only true indi-
cation of the situation. OF course it is
to be expected that efforts to belittle
the election of Root as temporary
chairman are being made by the oppo-
sition. No matter what way they fig
ure, Roosevelt is without a chance.
He is ditched by 20 votes. We are in
favor of giving the delegates for
Roosevelt OF any other candidate full
time to argue every debatable point on
the floor. Such opportunity can only
strengthen the ballot for Taft. can
not conceive that bolt will be made
by Roosevelt delegates
Scene Of Confusion.
For thirteen minutes after Chairman
Roots gavel fell the house was in con-
fusion. During the wait James Watson
ci Indiana walked about the platform,
finally at 11:eS the convention was
declared in order by Chairman Root
Rev. DR.. Charles Stoltz Chaplain Of the
day. then gave the invocation. There
was a great deal of confusion in the
gallery when the prayer was going on.
The crowd was slow and hard to han
die. The assistant sergeant-at-arms
seemed to be unable to still the con-
fusion.
