CEMETERY SEEKS TO GET OUT OF DEBT

Chairman Stewart of the cemetery
committee reported to the council
Monday evening that the city had
in its cemetery fund the first OF the
year $1,000; on his motion it will be
transferred to the gas fund to which
it will still owe $4,000 additional.
Stewart also reported that the ladies'
of the cemetery association wished
to have phone installed to con-
meet the cemetery with town and
were willing to stand one half the ex-
pense. Upon motion the council
agreed to the proposition.
Freeman as chairman of the gas
committee suggested that all moneys
being repaid to it from the cemetery
or light plant should be applied to
establish a sinking fund to be used
in returning the amounts paid by
consumers as meter deposits in case
future failure of the gas supply or
some other contingency should make
such return necessary. At present
no Separate account of the meter de-
posts is kept in connection with the
funds of the gas department. Ma
ton suggested further that such a
sinking fund should be invested IN
profitable securities, and Freeman's
motion was carried without further
discussion.

Department of Vital Statistics
Asks Precaution Against
Spread Of Disease.

City Clerk Sans in his capacity
as local registrar of vital statistics
for the state board of health for the
district including Chanute, Tioga
and Big Creek townships has re-
ceived letter from w. V. Dea
con, the state registrar calling at
tention TO two new regulations OF
the department.. They are calcu'
lated to make all parties concerned
in providing the statistics M Re
careful in their respective duties.
One regulation is made tor Sc
curing more perfect records by pro-
viding for the Withholding Of bdrial
permits until certificates are cor
rected. 1t seems that even yet
many undertakers over the state are
negligent in reporting accurately to
local registrars. The necessity OF
taking precautions against the
spread of infectious diseases by
giving the information to those
whose duty it is to see that proper
disinfection is made is the subject
of the second regulation.
The number of deaths within this
district during January was nine
which is the lowest figure which
registrar Sans has for deaths since
the records were begun last August
On the other hand the maximum
number of births, total of 4S fol
the month was reported to him.
This figure is however quite mis-
leading as three births reported
should be recorded. in some othel
district, and moreover 10 OF thu
births occurred prior to January bu
were not reported by the physician
until this last month. This mac
curacy has occurred to some 'exten
during previous months but no
sufficiently to put the records 81
much at fault as for January.

SPECIAL COMMITTEE
OF THREE oIATEO
They VIII Plan to Arrange for
Sale Of Tract by
Santa Fe.

A snecial committee consisting of
Nation, Johnson and Stewart was
appointed by Mayor Beach at the
conncil meeting Monday night 10
confer with representatives OF the
Santa Fe railroad concerning the
sale of portion of its property be-
tween Fourteenth and Twenty hrst
streets where it adjoins-S S, Santa re
avenue. This land was sold to the
railroad by the city some thirty
wears ago and the latter still
retains an interest in the tract so
that the Santa Fe can not sell un-
less the city allows and furnishes
quit claim deed. Chairman Nation
of the streets and alleys committee
brought up the matter in the council
as he wishes the city to get the
seven blocks on South Santa Fe
paved.
On past occasions when the pro-
nosition has been considered by the
council it has been stated by citizens
that the Santa Fe was willing to
sell a portion of the tract for the
price originally paid plus interest
for the 80 year period which would
make the present price about Se7' 50
an acre In case the committee is
able to get written proposition II
will be in shape to recommend that
the council advertise for bidders

These two farmers afforded an ex-
ample of misapplied information such
as is by NO means uncommon. 1t is
true that deep tillage conserves
moisture" but the time for such til
lage is, first, before the corn is plant
ed; and, second, after the planting,
but before the roots have begun to
spread. No later cultivation should
be deeper than two inches. This is
sufficient to destroy the weeds, aerate
the soil somewhat, and create a soil
mulch which will retain the moisture

ing away the soil with water from a
hose-is the basis of the drawing pre-
sented herewith, showing the spread
and depth of the root system of a
mature corn plant. Each of the dotted
squares represents foot of space. 1t
will be noted that the roots have

In every direction from the stalk, and
that they have penetrated to a depth

The illustration should impress
everyone with the unwisdom of deep
cultivation for corn after the roots
have begun to spread. When the disk
or cultivator blade penetrates to a
depth of more than two inches it is
certain to destroy a large proportion
Of the roots near the surface, and
thus rob the plant of food it would
otherwise draw from the soil. Where
