reference to the Danish and Norweg-
ian folk school system. His annual
address, which is anticipated with

The following is taken from the cur
ent issue Of Farm and Preside:
1.-THE deposits from a river bottom,
eft by the receding waters, are often
very serviceable for adding to a gar
den soil. or filling up lower places to
be used for growing vegetables and
small fruits. A garden soil made in
this fashion may, after some time of
exposure to air and weather, be quite
productive without special treatment
or manuring, at least for a time. A
small application Of stable manure

be useful, as it is in case Of new muck

tried in his absence, fined $50 and
cost, amounting to $13, from which
Judgment he promptly appealed, when
he learned 1t had been entered against
him.
The arrest at Vidalia, La, Shemper'
says, grew out Of purchases by F. w.

states was transferred to him by Den

will be able to show at the trial when

that he was in no way responsible
for any losses sustained by merchants
over there who sold junk to Dennis.

CURRY BROTHERS IN BAD
ELIAS CHARLIE H S. FORMER
RECEIVED BULLET IN ARM, LATTER WHAck HEAD-AT
ON TRIAL

A pistol ball in the left arm Of Elias
Curry and staggering blow with a
pistol over the head of Charlie Curry,
was the measure of punishment inflict-
ed on the two Syrians named, when at
1920 this morning they entered the
store of H. s. Jordan, at the corner of
New Orleans and Seventh streets and
attempted to drag him from his place
of business.
1t appears that the Curry brothers
became angered at Jordan when they
learned that he had traded for piece
of real estate which they were trying
to acquire, and thinking to "even up"
with him they went together to his
store and attempted to pull him into
the streets. One of the Curry's had

I. Shemper. who was recently IN the
courts on charges of obtaining goods
by false pretense, states that there
was no grounds for either Of the ar
rests and his explanation seems to con.
firm his statement.
It appears from documents in Mr..
Shempers possession, that the Semi

the prompt payment Of a draft Shem'

Junk. The draft was for $1s and II

Of this city on April 9 though on
April IL Mr.. Prime called Shemper
over the phone and advised him that
the draft had not been paid, whereup

This check was promptly paid by the

GOV. BREWER IS
YET Undecided
RELUCTANT TO CALL EXTRA SEES
F., SION OF LEGISLATURE TO
AUTHORIZE BONDS.

Jackson, Miss, April Ex-Governor
Brewer is exceedingly reluctant to call
an extra session of the Mississippi
Legislature at this time, but strong
pressure by owners Of lands in the
delta is being brought to bear upon
him to do so, members of the levee
boards assuring him that in addition
to having spent all the money available
1t has anticipated appropriations for
the next year and still is about $500
behind.
AT meeting between the governor
and levee board members In Green
Vile Saturday night several planters,
told the governor that they would be
willing to bear the expense of the en-.
ira session If he would call the Legis-
lature together to consider issuing
bonds to raise about 100000 for
levee work, sums to be borrowed a.
needed until it was known what action
the Federal government would take.
regarding levee improvements.
! TIL Governor is carfully studying the
question. He frankly says he don't
want an extra session, and that a call
for 1t will be the very last resort In,
the present difficulty. He dislikes TO
call an extra session, saying that this
is the time Of year when legislators
can Ill afford to leave their business.
On the other hand levee board mem
bers contend there will be no money
for levee work II the legislature does
not provide way, and that the levees
would be more seriously damaged than
ever before when the high waters
come again II they are not given prop
er attention.
Asked II he was giving the matter
careful attention the Governor said:
Yes, very, very careful attention
and consideration. am thinking sit
over, but don't know Just what WIN
do about It."

with him a single-barrel shotgun,
which he broke from it's stock when he
struck Jordan across the face.
AS soon as Jordan got his pistol he
opened fire on his assailants, with the
result that Elias got bad wound in
his arm and Charlie was laid OUT
with the blow across the head.
Physicians were called to dress the
wounds of the Curry's and Officers
Beverly and Cahal arrested all three
of the combatants, who were released
upon bonds.
1t is noted as a coincidence that
just about the time the Currys were
making their assault on Jordan, Abra
ham Curry, a brother, was going or
trial before the circuit court.

WOMEN SEIZED
IN SALOON RAID
Two Are Taken Out of Wine
Room by Police Officers
One Girl Only IS.

At the saloon of Julius Van Navel,
Twenty-fourth street and Fourth ave
nue., last night shortly before midnight
the police made a raid upon the
joint and pulled the proprietor and
friend together with two women. The
quartet was arraigned in police court
this morning and all paid fines of SO
and costs on disorderly conduct
charges. Commissioner Hart warned
Van Navel that if he permitted any
more women to frequent his place, the
license would be revoked. This sa-
loon man was fined for violating the
Sunday closing ordinance a short time
ago and is skating on thin ice at the
present time.
When Night Captain Kramer and
Officer John Kinney descended upon
the place a say scene met their eyes.
An 1S-year-old girl, Marie Kinney, was
sitting on Van Navers lap with her
arms twined about his neck in affec-
tionate embrace. The other girl, Ma
bel Parker, was seated at a table
drinking beer with J. w. Cox. Both
OF the women are from Davenport and
the Parker woman claims to be mar
ried. Marie Kinney is employed in a
Davenport restaurant. The girls were
warned to stay on the other side of
the river when they wished to ceie.
bIate in the future.
