Reada Wrote Standing.

One peculiar fad with regard to his
writing Charles Reade shared with
other famous novelists-he could not
remain seated at a table, but did his
work standing at a high desk. This
was characteristic also of Victor Hugo,
who wrote the whole Of lies Misera-
bles" standing. Wilkie Collins, too,
declared that his thoughts flowed more
freely when standing on his. feet. In
direct contrast, one recalls that Mark
Twain did much Of his work propped
up in bed and that Sir Walter Scott

ing comfortably on a couch.-London

SEED BED FOR BARLEY.

Whatever the nature Of the soil may
be, q we'll prepared seed bed is neces.
sary. The ground should be plowed
and worked until a deep, we'll pulver
lied, level seed bed Is obtained. Such
a bed will most efficiently aid In sup.
plying the necessary factors for ger
mtnation, heat, moisture and oxygen.
AS a general rule, when the seed bed
Is properly prepared. it needs no furth
err cultivation after planting. II the
season is dry and the ground lumpy
and loose from spring blowing, it may
be rolled and followed with an eveu

IN RAISING POTATOES
Soil Should Be Cultivated Until
Plants Well Up.
Cheapest and Most EfhcIent Method
Of Keeping Weeds In Check and
Ground In Good Condition
Mulch 10 Excellent.

By PROF. J. n. SHEPHERD, North d.
kota Agricultural College.)
After the potatoes are planted, the
land should be narrowed at intervals
until the vines are we'll up. lie, I'VE
to six inches high. This ID the cheap
est and most efncient method Of
keeping the weeds in check and the
soil In good condition. A four.hoFse
peg tooth harrow Of any type 10 sat
isfactory. Care should be taken not
to compact heavy soils too much.
Cultivation should begin as soon az
the vines r up and be continued
until the blossoms appear, or until It
causes injury to the tops. The cult
vator should be used at frequent In
tervals. z to 10 days, ven II there
are no weeds. At the Cornell station
the average yield in favor Of SIX cul.
tivations rather than three was 41.2
bushels per acre. Thus q profit Ia
secured far in excess Of the labor In.
VOWED. In some seasons It might
mean the difference between success
and failure. The results have been
ever more marked here than at Cor.
nell, but are from too limited data to
be quoted except in confederation.
Killing should never be practiced
except in districts having a heavy
rainfall and poor drainage. OF where
irrigation is to be practiced. The
crop will mature a little earlier when
hilled and may be. Of value to early
market growers. Even in places hav-
ing heavy rainfall the results favor
level culture. Frequent, shallow and
level cultivation should be practiced.
In trials at this station level culture
gave far better results.
T. Mulching is sometimes practiced
when straw is plentiful. A thick coat
ing Of straw is spread over the
ground soon after planting. No culti-
walton is necessary. A cool moist
soil is maintained: the best possible
condition for large yields. Mulching
cannot be practiced on large fields
and is not practical unless it be for
the production Of seed or the assur.
ance Of a family supply.
Potatoes at the Williston sub-sta-
ton were mulched with six inches OF
straw in the dry season Of 1910. The
mulched seed was planted very shall
low-barely covered. The plot for
comparison was covered four inches
deep. The yield was over 81 per cent
heavier on the mulched plot. The po-
tatoes were larger and had a much
higher percentage of marketable tu
bers. The mulched potatoes were not
so we'll matured as the others. Pro.
lection from the hot winds which pre-.
vailed that season doubtless accounts
for much Of the beneficial effect.
It has been found farther south
that seed potatoes grown under a
mulch give better results than those
grown In the ordinary way.

The first steam turbine fitted vessel
was constructed by the Hon. G. A.
Parsons at his works at Newcastle-on-
Tyne. The Turbinia, a small vessel, q
hundred feet in length, made her trial

WHEN TO SOW BARLEY.

If the season Is far enough advanced
and all danger of severe weather past
the barley Is sowed, usually about the
middle of April. A drill Is the best
implement for this purpose, as it dis.
tributes the seed evenly and at a uni
form depth. The depth may vary to
suit the condition Of the soil. The
nearer the seed to the moist soil, tho
better. This ' distribution, at .
uniform depth, promotes an even
growth and maturity.

CAPITAL COMMENT

salers in New York, and women's and
children's wooden dress goods are next
on the list
1t is declared by those who are ia
mil!ar with prices and profits in the
wooden industry that the trust mag
mates, now that the strike is over, have
determined to force the consumer to
pay not only the slightly increased
wage to the mill workers, but the en-
tire cost OF the strike as well In
other words, the increase in prices in
the trust products will bring in a sum
sufficient to meet the new labor bill,
and to reimburse the trust for the loss
occasioned by the strike. This will
bring the trust dividends up to the
usual amount, so that at the end of
the year, when the mill owners cut
their melon, none of them will real
ize that the trust suffered a costly
strike, or was forced to give it's work
ers a slight increase in pay. The Cos
pei of the wooden trust is that nothing
shall interfere with dividends.
JUST A HANDFUL.
The men who perpetrate such out
RACES as these on both the consumers
and their employees are but a handful
in number. They are just few men
who own or control the majority OF
the stock of the wooden trust. 1t is
practically these few men, and they
alone, who are the sole beneficiaries
of Schedule X Why should 92,000,00C
men, women and children in the United
States permit themselves to be out
rageously taxed on every stitch Of
clothing they use in order that these
few greedy millionaires may make al
unjust profit?

more prosperous since the period OF
depression brought on by by the gold
contraction, than they are today; and
their recovery is at a rate rapid and
gratifying to all Englishmen.
While England ships her exports In
her own bottoms to every market, the
United States has driven her merchant
marine on the seas by prohibitive tar
ifs and is unable to compete on equal
terms with the other great producing
nations Of the world.
Protection Is selfish and IN the long
run selfishness destroys itself. The
greatest commentary upon the stupid
ity OF American craftsmanship is in
the fact that hundreds Of millions OF
dollars have been put into ship ca
nal at Panama through which we won't
have a ship to send so long as the
Gripping tariff Is maintained.

TIME FOR EVERY MAN TO UP.
HOLD THE LAW.

The time is at hand in Rock Island
for every man TO uphold the law as
never before. TO hold up the hands of
the public authorities, and in the spirit
OF loyalty TO the city as well as the
state TO assist in the maintenance of
order. 1t is well to avoid discussion
OF the situation and keep away from
gatherings OF any nature where utter
ances Of an infammatory nature may
escape.
II is no time to consider. much less
discuss. the why's or the wherefores OF
the situation. There Is a condition
upon US, and a most deplorable condi
ton, due TO open violation of the law
and defiance Of the lawful require
ments Of good government in Rock Is
land running back through a period o.
years. but il is important now to refec
upon the things that are.
No city and no community can for
minute tolerate mob rule. The safet,
Of the people, the safety OF the home
the safety OF every institution that il
dear to the people. demands that tn,
people. in the spirit OF calmness, bu
determination. uphold the law, restor
order and establish peace.
The Argus. IN its issue Of last even
Ing. undertook TO quiet the public ten
per. while not unmindful Of the gra,
fly OF the situation and the ominou
prospect for the evening. It was tn
hope that the excitement OF the nigh
before would subside in the sober after
thought and that there would be n
further outbreak.
But It was impossible to stop wha
occurred. The city authorities di
their duty judiciously and spared n
effort TO avert violence and disorder.
There is but one duty confrontin
every law-abiding man in Rock Islam
now. and that is to stand by the Law
and the laws representatives.

They had lived In the neighoorhood
for about six months and had tried to
attend strictly to their own business.
IF we don't get on familiar terms
with anybody We won't get mixed up

ing to discourage this just running IN

"Just So" agreed her husband We

without their mixing in ours. We

So, when the neighbors called, the

everything was lovely for time, so
far as she and her husband knew. 1t
seemed a neighborhood singularly free
from scandals and gossip of any kind.
But the neighborhood newsmonger
simply couldn't hold in any longer.
When an especially juicy bit Of scan
dal came to her ears, she felt it her
duty to run over to the little wife and
impart it.
"Oh, have you heard about So-and'
so?" she exclaimed breathlessly.
why, no." said the little wife.

yesterday and the detectives are after
him"
"So?' noncommittally remarked the
little wife.
81 always knew that man would
come to some bad end" declared the
visitor. His wife always put on such
airs"
Indeed" said the little wife.
There's another man going to ge

you noticed the way he's going arounC

Especial Correspondence Of The Argus.)
Washington, March 25.-Anyone who
thinks those millionaire wooden trust
magnates at Lawrence, Mass, raised
the wages of their striking men, wom-
en- and children mill hands, is mis-
taken. They did not do anything of
the kind.
1t develops that before any wages
were increased, the wooden trust mag
mates, who have been making only
from 5 to rs per cent profits on their
investment, decided to advance the
cost of clothing to the American peo-
pie. AS matter of fact, the cOnsum-
ers began to actually pay increased
prices for cotton and wooden goods in
anticipation of the increased wages TO
be paid by the generous wooden trust
magnates, before the announcement of
the increased wages was made public.
Cotton prints, calicoes and the like
have risen in price at wholesale in
New York City a quarter of a cent a
yard in the last ten days, and still
further advances are predicted by mill
agents.
COST TO THE RETAILER.
1t was said by the mill agents that
the net advance in cost to the retailer
may reach cents a yard before the
selling market is finally adjusted This
will make a difference of 5 cents in an
apron, and 25 cents in the housewives
dress. Wooden prices. too, are going
up, and the readers next suit OF
clothes is likely to cost him more, the
dealers say. Some serges have al
