cAMINETTI GETS YEAR AND A

San Francisco, Sept. 18.-For vio-

Judge Van Fleet of the U. S. court
sentenced Maury l. Diggs to two
years at San Quentin prison and a
fine of $4,000, and F. Drew Caminetti
to 18 months at the same prison and
a fine of $1,000.
Judge Van Fleets denunciation of
the defendants was tame compared
to his scathing denunciation of the
society which winks at so lax mo-
rality that such a case is possible.
Addressing Diggs, he said: 81 am
satisfied yours is the dominant char
acter and am strongly inclined to
think that but for you, you two would
not be standing here now. 1 don't

Diggs and Caminetti were found
guilty of taking Marsha Warrington
and Lola Norris to Reno for immoral
purposes. The maximum sentence
that could have been imposed on
Diggs was 20 years imprisonment
and fine of $4,000, and Caminetti
IL years in prison and fine of
$4,000.
Both the men took their sentences
coolly. Ten days has been granted
in which to get stay of execution

KEEPING SOIL FROM BLOWING
Condition Results From Removal Of
Humus From Land by Continu-
Gus Cropping With Grain.

In many areas the lands of the west
ern states are giving much trouble
to those who till them, because of the
lifting OF the soil with the kind. This
condition results from the removal OF
the humus from the land in conse-
quence OF continued cropping with
grain from year to year. Because OF
this condition the crops in many in
stances fail because of the removal
OF the covering through the force of
the wind. or course the first aim
should be on the part OF those who
work such lands to destore the humus,
says the Denver Field and Farm. This
Is brought about by sowing grass or
alfalfa, the roots of which will bind
the soil. But in practice the farmer
cannot lay down all the blowing soil
that he may have in single year. lie
should manage to get the part not un-
der control into grass.
Certain principles apply TO the han
ding of these blowing lands. First.
they should not be summer-fallowed in
the ordinary way. TO summer-fallow
them, the more that they are worked
the more they will blow. They may be
managed by plowing as late as pos
sible but before the maturing of any
weed seeds. Let grain be sown on
such land at once, preferably mix
ture of grains to be pastured. The
soil will not blow thus managed. The
roots of the grain plants remain un-
III spring.
When grain is drilled in amid those
roots the following spring the soil will
not blow. Another plan is to drill in
a peck of milo maize or kafr. The
harrow may still be used to keep the
field clean.
There may be some objections to
handling the land thus. but they will
not outweigh the advantages that
come from disking rather than plow-
ing. When winter grains are sown
II may answer sometimes to drill them
In amid the stubble in tho early au-
tumn without disking or plowing.
This may answer quite well when
weeds are not numerously present
amid the stubble. II fall grain is har-
rowed after It is up to retain moisture
This should be done with great eau
tion. II narrowed just when the grain
Is beginning to appear this should be
done only after a rain and when the
ground is dry enough to produce large
granules when narrowed. But such
soil may be safely narrowed when the
grain Is several inches high lndis-
Greet narrowing may do great damage
to crops on such soils.

AVOID ESCAPE OF MOISTURE
Narrowing Makes Excellent Dust
Mulch Preventing Evaporation
Renew After Hard Rainfall.

No implement is so patent TO pre-
vent the escape of moisture from the
soil as the harrow. The ways in
which 1t may be used to effect this end
are many.
Narrowing makes a dust mulch.
This mulch of fine earth dries out to
the extent of one or two inches. When
moisture ascends from below, as II
always does. on the principle of capil-
larity, It cannot pass this dust mulch
But when rain falls in sufficient guam
titles II passes down through this
dust mulch to the moist soil below
and destroys its effectiveness. In or.
der 10 again be effective II must be
renewed, and in order to renew 1t the
harrow must be again used. The best
time to use it is as soon as the har-
row can be used on the soil without
the earth adhering TO It. II 1t is not
then run over the ground the surface
soil will contract In drying, with the
result that numerous cracks or fis.
sures viii appear in ii. and through
these the moisture will at once begin
to escape from below. By narrowing
at such time the dust mulch will be
renewed. Such renewal must be given
after each rain of sufficient volume
to destroy the dust mulch.-Western

Healthy old age is so absolutely de-
pendent upon the condition of the bow
els that great care should be taken TO
see that they act regularly. The fact
is that as age advances the stomach
muscles become weak and inactive and
the liver does not store up the juices
that are necessary to prompt digestion.
Some help can be obtained by eating
easily digested foods and by plenty Of
exercise, but this latter is irksome to
most elderly people. One thing is GER
tain, that a state of constipation should
always be avoided, as IL is dangerous
TO life and health. The best plan is
TO take mild laxative as often az is
deemed necessary. But with equal Ger
tainty It is suggested that cathartics,

avoided. as they do but temporary good
