D. Edward, United States
consul in Juarez, that Apwell Rob-
erts, the American citizen now be-
ing held a prisoner by General

troops. 1t is believed here that
the order demanding the safe re-
turn of the American will be COM
piled with. Should, however, it be
not complied with Uncle Sam will
send troops into Mexico and re-
lease the prisoners now being held
in various parts of the state OF

THIS AFFAIR
PRESENTS VERY
NAUSEATING 0DOR

The county commissioners at their
session Tuesday afternoon heard pc
titions asking for the calling of an
election to bond the town of Tono-
pah in the sum of 100000 to build
another sewer system. After exam
lining the names of the petitioners
the commissioners found the petit
tion a fraudulent one, as many of
the signers were not voters and
several not even citizens of the
United States. Upon this finding
the following resolution was unani-
mously adopted by the commission
ers and spread upon the minutes.
Text of resolution adopted blythe
county commissioners:
1.-THE board having examined and
compared the signatures on said Pc
tition with the register of the town
of Tonopah with the last preceding
election, and it appearing thereform
that said petition has not been sign
ed by at least twenty per cent of
the entire vote cast at the last
preceding election, held in the said
town of Tonopah, and the district
attorney having been advised of the
examination by the board that a
number of electors equal to twenty
per cent of the entire vote cast al
the last preceding election, held in
said town of Tonopah, and the
board having been advised by the
district attorney that to call sait
election in accordance with said pc
tition would be illegal, and upor
motion. it is unanimously resolved
that the petition for said election
be declined for the reason hereil

They Saved His Life.

Does 1t pay to stop your motor car
frter an accident and go back to se-
what has happened? Two young mo-
florists on the south side believe II
does.
With a green chauffeur these two
boys were trying out a new model
touring car. They were sitting In the
back seat when the greenhorn at the
steering wheel gave it a twist and
came within an ace of hitting an old
man at a crossing. The victim was
SO shocked that he fell to the pave
ment, and a crowd gathered In an In
slant.
Looking back, the motorists decided
that things looked bad, but that they
had better go back and see whether
the old party was killed. Finding him
all right, but winded, they took him
for a nice ride around the parks. So
pleasant did they make 1t for him that
when they took him home to his wife
he introduced them as The two young
men who saved my life"

BEES ARE QUITE PROFITABLE
AZ Adjunct to Farm Nothing Pays So
Well When Properly Cared For
Work for Women.
(By MRS. I. TAYLOR, ohio.)

By MRS. L. TAYLOR, Ohio.)
As an adjunct to farming l know or
nothing, when properly cared for, that
pays so well, considering the time
spent and the money invested, as bees.
Last year, two colonies produced
so pounds per colony Of surplus hon.
ey. which sold for $40. The bees cost
IS, 80 there is a gain of SIS, or 800 per
cent. No other stock or crop paid us
as well.
A bee-keeper not far from here av-
eraged 112 pounds of honey from his
colonies. He sold 1t for 16 cents a
pound. This seems like a very large
yield, but with improved methods we
expect to do even better. One farmer
in this community manages to clear
800 each year from his bees. He
keeps from twelve to fifteen colonies,
and his farm does not suffer from
neglect In the least.
If the men have not time to attend
to the bees, the women a look after
them. They r generally about the
premises and have a better oppor-
tunity for watching them.
For %gentleness in handling, ability
to gather honey and to keep free from
moth, / prefer the Italians. Any chaff
hive will answer the purpose. 1t
should be chaff lined all through; and
for wintering out of doors a chafr
cushion should be placed over the bees
to absorb moisture.

It is unreasonable to expect a gaso-

Is mounted on a solid foundation.
There is nothing better than concrete
for this and when placing same in
position, ~fastenings should be set in
the concrete as shown In the accom-
panying illustration, says the Prairie
Farmer. These fastenings can be made
by any blacksmith or in most any

Asparagus will grow in any good
welldrained farm land.
Onion sets should be set out just
as early as ground can be worked.
Almost all our common garden veg
etables require a somewhat algaline
soil.
Selling all the hay and grain raised
on the farm is a sure method of selling
the farm.
Young cabbage plants require thor
ough protection In the hotbed and
cold frame.
1t is seldom that the very early va
rieties of potatoes yield so well as
those a little later.
Long, straight rows will make
easier work with the horse cultivator
or wheel hoe later on.
For sandy land the mammoth red
clover has proved superior to alsike or
the medium red varieties.
Heroic pruning measures are needed
to bring many old trees into bearing,
but it need not all be done the first
year.
There Is no danger or an overrich
soil for asparagus. In fact this crop
can only be grown proftably on very
rich land.
Did you ever think how much ground
a good ear of corn will plant? II Is
just that much ground wasted II you
plant a poor ear.
1t is as idle and useless to expect
good crops from inferior seed as 1t
would be to endeavor to breed thor
oughbred cattle from scrub stock.
Asparagus roots, properly planted.
fertilized and given good culture, will
continue to produce large spears for

Alsike clover Is a perennial and can
be grown on ground that is too low
and moist for the medium red or
mammoth; 1t ID grown equally well on
high ground.

FROM THE EDITOR.
He Forgot That He Had a Stomach

Talking of food, there is probably
no professional man subjected to a
greater, more wearing mental strain
than the responsible editor Of q
modern newspaper.
To keep his mental faculties con-
stantly in good working order. the
editor must keep his physical powers
up to the highest rate OF efficiency.
Nothing will so quickly upset the
whole system as badly selected food
and a disordered stomach. 1t there
fore follows that he should have
right food, which can be readily as
simulated, and which furnishes true
brain nourishment.
My personal experience in the use
OF Grape-Nuts and Postum" writes
a Philadelphia editor. $50 exactly
agrees with your advertised claim as
to their merits that any further ex-
position in that direction would seem
to be s~uperfiuous. They have bene-
flied me SO much. however. during
the five years that I have used them

gestion, in my case. with restless

pains and distressing sensations

tion as 'catarrh of the stomach and
prescribed various medicines. which

possible to the English language.
that they have benefited me as med
icines never did, and more than any
other food hat ever came on my
table.
MY experience is that the Grape
Nuts food has steadied and strength
ened both brain and nerves to a most
positive degree. How 1t does 1t I
cannot say. but l know that after
breakfasting on Grape-Nuts food one
actually forgets he has a stomach.

Starting Plants In Houses.

A good way to use tin cans or cigar
boxes is to plant cabbage, lettuce,
parsley, pepper, radish and tomato
seeds in them, about the middle of
this month. Place the cans or boxes
in the kitchen windows.
Caulifiower, celery and egg plant
may also be started in the house.

HOW BEES COLLECT POLLEN
Part Played by the Auricle
In the Process-Dust Gathers on
Body Hairs.

The pollen dust gathers on the body
hairs Of the bees as the result of the
visits paid to the flowers. These hairs,
as seen under the microscope, are
branched, and therefore are admirably
adapted to hold the pollen, writes F.
w. l.. Sladen in the Gleanings in Bee
Culture.
In the humble bee (and probably
also the honey beef the pollen dust In
the hairs on the thorax Is collected
on brushes on the inner sides Of the
