NOTES

Early fall blowing is the cheapest
and best crop insurance known.
It has never seemed advisable to
SOW alfalfa in the fall with rye.
Sometimes it is a good plan to
leave the stubbIe to catch the snow.
The successful garden is started in
the fall although not a seed may be
planted,
To have winter parsley and lettuce
lift some plants and set out in the
cold frame.
Silage made Of corn and soy beans
is more digestible than that made
from corn silage alone.
One OF the qualities of the soy
bean that commends it to the stock
feeder is its protein richness.
Clean up the garden. A few weeds
and other rubbish make a splendid
nesting places for many destructive
insects.
It is claimed that early-sown fall
wheat is benefited when pastured
with sheep TO keep down the rank
growth
Many growers say that weeds are
as valuable as fertilizers as clover
and cowpeas as fertilizers as clover
every year.
Soil taken from a well-estabHshed
alfalfa field anu spread on land to be
sown to alfalfa is a very good way to
inoculete it
Cowpeas that have a lot of crab
grass and fox tail mixed with them
make even better bale hay than the
straight vines.
Many farmers every year lose a por-
ton OF the value OF their crops be-
cause they have not force enough to
SOW them in season.
Protein that is grown upon the
farm is often more palatable than
that which is purchased in concen
trated form, and it is also cheaper.

The organist was not lacking in

For this wedding it is the most ap-

like, but stick to that. I had the
hardest kind of a fight to keep Bellies

His steps are not upon thy paths, thy

Are not a spoil for him, thou dost

And shake him from thee; the vile

For earth's destruction thou dost
all despise,
Spurning him from thy bosom to the
skies,
And send'st him, shivering in thy
playful spray
And bowling. to his gods, where
haply lies
His petty hope in some near port or

And dashest him again to earth; there
let him lay.

And monarchs tremble in their CAPT

The oak leviathans. whose huge ribs
make
Their clay creator the vain title

These are thy toys, and, as the

They melt into thy yeast of waves,

Alike the Armada's pride or spoils OF

THE THEATERS
Coming Minstrel show.

There are three days left after to-
day to procure tickets for the open
ing night of Hugo Brothers minstrel
show, which will make it's debut next
Tuesday evening at the Opera House.
At the Promotion Committee rooms,
where the sale of seats is in progress,
there has been an extra heavy de-
mand for flrst-night tickets.
The fame of the company has pene-
trated here already from the Coast,
where it has been playing for the
past three weeks, and those who saw
the performance in Seattle declare
that it is an entertainment both orig
iRal and unique.
The singing of Miss Clark is re-
sponsible for a large part of the
applause given the company by the
mainland press. Better known as
the "girl who sings to beat the
band" Miss Lea Clark may be
remembered by some as the sololiSt
who sang with KryTs band two years
ago during it's tour of the West.
Miss Clark will sing with the Hugo
company's band every evening dur
ing the troupe's engagement here,
and has promised to render a popu-
lar program. The band concert will
be given in the open air and all are
welcome to attend.
After the band concert, which will
be held early in the evening in front
of the Opera House, the entertain
ment proper will begin. It consists
of first-part minstrel show given by
thirty-six negroes procured at great
expense from Dockstader's and Hav-
erley's famous aggregation.
The show is a complete array of
new jokes and skits, and there is not
an old song in the bunch, all the
music being made up of the latest
and catchiest ragtime melodies. The
second part of the entertainment will
consist of an all-star vaudeville bill,
the performers of which have been
carefully chosen from the Orpheum
and Kohl & Castle circuits.

FIRE SWEEPS
HOUSTON,T TEX.
Thousands Homeless in De-
stroyed Area Covering
rs Blocks.

HOUSTON, Tex, Feb. 2l.-InIpelled
by a gale that swept in with one of
the coldest northerns of the winter,
flames swept through the eastern sec
ton of Houston early today. AT least
twenty-five blocks of the city have
been destroyed. Scores of cottages
We're destroyed. Several big manufac-
turing plants were burned down. Thou
sands of persons are homeless.
The losses are estimated at between
Sc, 900 and $l0,o0O.O00. The greater
part of this is confined to the lumber
and cotton industries. F'orty-five thou
and bales of cotton stored in ware
houses and compressed were burned.
This item alone sets loss of 1900, 900.
The fire started in a cottage near
the Southern Pacific railroad tracks
soon after midnight.
An hour after the flames began their
irresistible advance, the firemen organ
lied for final stand at Buffalo Bayou,
a small stream that divides the eastern
part of the city from the main section.
Every piece of fire. lighting apparatus
was stationed along the banks of this
stream, which. if passed by the fire.
meant the destruction of the entire
city. AS the advancing columns of fire
began to hiss toward the Bayou banks
hundreds of streams Of water were
hurled into them, checking little by lit
tie their progress At some of the mar
rover portions of the stream the flames
leaped across. but the more substantial
buildings they reached did not afford
the tinder-like fuel heretofore encoun-
tered. The fire was checked
Many persons were hurt during the
fire, but so far as can be determined
there were no casualties.
The burned area is at least mile
and half long, and at points quar-
ter of mile wide.
At Buffalo Bayou, small stream
that sets off a residential and manu-
featuring section OF the city into East
End the fire was finally checked. At
this stream firemen organized for their
supreme effort.
When the flames that had hissed
through mllion-dollar manufacturing
plants and rows of flimsy cottages
with equal ease came to the stream II
leaped across in narrow places. Catar
acts Of water playing on the onrush-
ing flame wall threw it back how
ever, and for the first time since the
fremen began their fight they gained
control.
Hundreds of persons, giving no heed
TO their night attire, rushed from their
homes as they heard the roar of the
fire. Women, carrying babies; women
at whose skirts small children clung,
gathered in homes of nearby neighbors
for refuge, only to be driven out few
minutes later by the further progress
of the fire. Firemen organized leaders
among the men of the burned area
and these. marshaling the refugees. led
them TO the rear of the flames and out
of danger.

START SUBSCRIPTION
FUND FOR NEW CHURCH.

Several substantial subscriptions have
been received by Rev. Thomas A. Con
roy, rector of st. Cecilia Roman Cath
Ollie Church, Kearny, toward a fund
started to defray the expense of build
ing a new church. There is nothing
definite at the present time regarding
the proposed new structure. Father
Conroy SAYS he would like to take up
the work as speedily as possible. He
says it is impossible TO keep the pres
ent building heated during the winter
months. The new church when built
will be of red brick. with terra Gotta
and white brick trimmings. 1t will
conform with the new rectory and
school in appearance.
Father Conroy has been at the head
of the Kearny church for eleven years
He has done much to upbuild the par
ish. The new school in Chestnut street
and the rectory fronting on Kearny
avenue are two of the finest structures
of the kind in these parts. The con-
Gently remodeled, is so arranged as to
care for the needs of the parochial
school teaching staff for years to come.
The property opposite the convent was
recently sold by Father Conroy to
Adam Salzman, of Harrison. The price
paid was $500.
1t is probable that mass will be Of
fered in the school hall on Sundays
next winter.

NEW SCHOOL PLAN
DEFEATED AGAIN
Women Voters Help to Turn
Down Proposition of West
Orange Board.

For the third time the plan of the
West Orange Board Of Education to
replace ST. Marks School with new
building was defeated at a special
school election yesterday. The vote
was S07 to 30 Most of the votes cast
were those of women, as the men of
the town showed little interest in the
results
The election took place in the High
School. in CASTOR street. The polls
were open from 2:30 o'clock until $3.50.
and the women voters remained at the
polls most of the time. awaiting the
result with much interest. The women
were represented OH the election board
by Mrs. James T. Morehouse, wife of
we'll known physician. She acted as
teller. c. e. Williams was chairman
of the board, School Commissioner
Charles ID. Hedges teller and Thomas
Cunningham Judge.
The Board of Education backed by
County superintendent of Schools
A. B. Meredith, contends that ST.
Marks School is unfit for use and is
insanitary. Despite the result of the
election yesterday 1t is held in some
quarters that the board intends to keep
on holding elections until the people
are convinced that a new building is
necessary.
