IT'S FUNNY THE WAY TRU
The trust newspapers seem to
look upon the police force and the
states attorneys office as their
own private organizations.
When a Hearst gunman muir
dered George HEIR, every OBJ
struction was put in the way of
Police Captain Meagher in his
search for the murderer.
When Meagher forced a show
down, he was told by Police Cap
tain Paddy ]. LAWN that sit was
all right, the American will give
up the men who were on the
wagon at the time of the shoot
ing"
The American gave up seven
gunner. The coroner's jury held
them to the grand jury without
bail.
Yesterday these seven gunner
were released on bail with the ex-
press approval of States Attor-
ney Wayman.
And these extraordinary oc-
currenceS were never mentioned
once in the trust newspapers. Evil
IDENTIFY they were pleased with the
way their police force and states
attorney had acted.
Then this morning, the Tribune
discovered frightful thing. 1t

1t is true that White and Waite
were arrested. They were not ar
rested for murder, however, as
were. the seven Hearst gunner.
Waite was arrested on a war
rant charging malicious mischief,
sworn to by Patrick Flaherty,
teaming contractor and rival of
Clarence White. White was ar
rested for interfering with the Of
fcer who arrested Waite.
1t is true that Grogan secured
their release on bail. Grogan and
White are friends. Grogan was
the. first person White turned to
when he found himself in trouble.
1t also is true that Grogan had
to telephone Chief McWeeny be-
fore he could secure the release of
Waite.
L his was because Waite was
not booked when arrested, al
though the law provides that the
police shall book every prisoner.
Grogan called up McWeeny
and asked why a man was being
held in Jail without any charge
being preferred against him on
the police books. He also said he
wanted to bail Waite out.
McWeeny asked what the war
rant charged against Waite. Gro
gan told him malicious mischief.
McWeeny then ordered that
Waite be booked on that charge
and be released en- bail, according
TO law.

Potato growers beginning to spray
potatoes for the first time will find
the following general directions OF
valus. If carefully followed. Those
growers who are located near the ex-
detrimental fields sprayed by the state
agricultural station shoald visit these
fields during the spraying season and
observe the methods employed. Spe-
cial demonstration meetings are ar
ranged and widely announced ID the
local newspapers at which farmers
will be shown the various steps in sue
eessful spraying.
Early Potato Blight.
This disease often develops rapidly
IN Wisconsin after August /. Attacks
OF tip burn, which dries and withers
the tips and margins of the leaves,
should not be confused with the early
blight Diseased vines become spot
ted with dense black spots around
which yellow areas may also develop.
This condition usually occurs on late
potatoes In September and some sea-
sons attacks of blight have occurred
during the last two weeks In August.
The vines usually die during blight
season about two or three weeks in
advance Of the normal ripening period.
The tubers are not attacked by the
fungus, but the loss sustained results
from the large percentage of culls
harvested

RIMS OF-AEORGO7IEW RE0DZE

IL is the CHI dwellings, proper, or the
ruins of the cliffs or canyons, that are
by far the most interesting and the
source Of the greatest speculation and
wonder. Maj. Powell, United States
geologist, expresses his surprise at
seeing nothing for whole days but
perpendicular cliffs, everywhere rid
died with human habitations which re-
semble the cells of a honey comb more
than anything else" Unlike the low
land or valley ruins the walls of the
cliff dwellings were constructed almost
entirely of stone cut to shape, we'll laid
and joints properly broken. Being UNI
acquainted with the use of lime, they
replaced it with mixture OF clay and
cinders and sometimes charcoal, often
colored to match the stone and to-day
used and even of the fingers of the
workmen are plainly discernible. 1t is
truly wonderful to note how well this
peculiar people turned the decaying
canyon walls into account. BY the
natural crumbling and falling away OF
the softer strata, caves of all shapes
and dimensions were formed which.
when partitioned off into rooms and
the opening walled up, formed an
adobe safe from fire, storm or food I;
warm in winter, cool in summer; but
more than all a fortress behind which
the lord and master of this aerial man
sion could protect his family against q
horde.
A Great Palace.
1t is this style of ruin that is most
numerous, being scattered promiscu-
ously throughout the region: in caves
as above described, in the beds of can
yons, sufficiently elevated above high
water mark, and on the open mesas;
in fact where one would least expect
to find human habitations, these mys-
FERROUS relics. confront us. A few con-

neighboring rocks, indeed, in certain
narrow gorges one must needs have a
good pair of eyes to detect them amid
their rugged surroundings. The win
dows and doors are small, the latter
being very narrow and rarely exceed
ing fou. or five feet in height. This
has given rise to the opinion held by
some that the Cliff Dwellers were a
race of pygmies. But their mummif1ed
remains show them to have been Of
the ordinary stature.
The cave or cliff dwellers are found
from 200 to 500 feet above the bed OF
the stream. Holmes mentions some

It is wise to disinfect recently pur-
chased hogs. for often they carry dis
ease germs or vermin into the herd.
They should be washed in warm two
per cent. solution Of coal tar dip. This
treatment should be repeated in ten
DAYS or gwo weeks. Either spray
pump o. dipping tank can be used for
this purpose. If a pump is used the
solution should be rubbed In with a
brush. The addition OF flowers Of sui
phur at the rate of 1914 pounds to each
100 gallons Of dip mixture makes the
solution mere effective. To restroy
lice, a mixture of equal "arts kero-
gene or machine oil or one part of tur-
pentine and two parts'of machine oil
should be applied to every part Of the
hog By means of a rag or swab.

Of the leaves. It spreads rapidly over
the field by producing small seedlike
bodies called spores. These spores can
not terminate or the fungus develop
in the presence of Bordeaux mixture
Varieties of Potatoes Affected
Only the standard medium late and
late varieties should be sprayed with
Bordeaux mixture In Wisconsin. These
include such varieties as Rural New
Yorker, Carman Nc. 8, Sir Walter
Raleigh, Burbank. Late Pride, Peer
less, and other late growers. Spraying
such early varieties as Stray Beauty
and Triumph is of doubtful benefit, es-
pecially when they are planted early.
Number OF Applications. Spraying
should not be delayed later than Aug
ust Is on late varieties. Not less than
four applications are recommended for
the average season although season
conditions may modify this direction. 1t

Spraying Directions.
Material.-The following material
and apparatus should be provided The
cost is Indicated where important, and
the quantity of material is based on
four applications for ten acree
l, 100 pounds blue vitriol at to
cents per pound.
2. geo pounds fresh lime to be pur-
chased In 50-pound quantities for each
application.
g. Five 50-gallon barrels.
l. Two ten-quart galvanized pals.
5, Potassium Ferro Cyanide crystals,

stock solution,
Stake so pounds of lime carefully In
another barrel. Caution. Use only
fresh lime he careful not to burn
lime in shaking or to weaken by
drowning" Stir hot lime solution oc-
oasionally for one-half hour and then
dilute 10 one-half barrel. This makes
lime stock solution.
The formula for Bordeaux mixture
is Blue vitriol, pounds; lime, 10
pounds; water. 100 gallons.
Mixing-To make 100 gallons OF
Bordeaux mixture. pour eight gallons
Of blue vitriol stock solution In one
mixing barrel and ill with water. Pour
five gallons lime solution in another
barrel and fill with water, Stir thor,
oughly. Then, two men mixing, strain
equal amounts OF each solution
through gunny sack into a third bar
rel, making two barrels of mixture, or,
enough TO fiji a 100,gallon spray tank.
Test for the Mixture. Dissolve a
few crystals of potassium ferro cy-
anide in a small bottle of water. Add
few drops to the prepared Bor-
deaux, and If brown color is pro-
duced. ADD more lime to the mixture.
Cost Of Spraying.
The cost of spraying ten acres of
potatoes four times may be itemized
as follows: The cost of 100 gallons of
prepared Bordeaux as per formula is
60 cents.
First application 400 gallons). ......s 40
Second application $500 galons) ...... 400
Third application 600 gallons) ..... 800
Fourth application 600 gallons)...... $50

Combination of Mixtures--Tt will be
observed that at the time Of the I'm
portant spraying against blight the
damage from the beetle IA past. pro
vided they have been thoroughly kill
ed early In the season. The station
has had some success In applying
Paris green or arsenate of lead with
a weak Bordeaux mixture, as the
poison will then adhere better to the
vines than If applied In clear water
Not less than two pounds of Paris
green should be used TO so gallons of
spray mixture, and about four pounds
of arsenate of lead to so gallons. Fall
ure with spraying against blight will
result unless the potato beetles are
thoroughly killed early in the season.
