Jeff Kinzy, a negro, is in the city
Jail charged with stealing cow. But
the question that is puzzling Detective
Ed JONES' who has charge of the case,
is whose COW was stolen?
The arrest of the negro Kinzy oe-
Cured last Wednesday afternoon in
North Birmingham when Detective
Jones spotted" the negro, who was
leading a large yellow bovine tethered
at the end of a rope. As an old Of
fender against the laws of the city of
Birmingham, the state of Alabama ct
al, Kinzy was placed in the "Black
Maria" and given free transportation
to the "Hotel Bodeker," where he has
since remained.
But the cow. Well, the COW is still
on the hands and, figuratively speak
Ing, on the mind of Detective Jones.
Such has been the case since last
Wednesday and Detective Jones is out
of pocket several dollars due to his
zeal in seeking the rightful owner of
the aforesaid COW.
The trouble with Detective Jones is
that he is a student as we'll as a paid
Sherlock Holmes" OF the police de-
partment In some book of more or
thought he read that domestic ami
mails have such love for their owners
If well treated that If they are stolen
or suddenly removed from their ac-
custCmed home they will return at the
first opportunity. Jones forgot to read
the article thoroughly or he would have
noticed that 1t referred to black cats
"a species of a domestic pest which
can neither be drowned, lost or given
away. Well anyway. Jones got the
idea into his head that if he turned the
COW loose it would fit in bovine fash
ion to its beloved owner.
Laboring under this delusion, Mr..
Jones turned the COW loose last Thurs
day morning and the COW rambled
away in a mixture of the one step
and the hesitation waltz. Jones, who
had taken the precaution to rent q
horse and buggy, followed complacent-
ly, mentally patting himself on the
back on his keenness as a sleuth.
Throughout Thursday the COW
rambled in a more or less zig-zag
fashion but generally in the direc-
tion of Bessemer with the faithful
Jones on the job. When darkness came
and the ownership of the COW was still
a deep, dark mystery, Jones got out
of the buggy and after a brief tug
of war managed to tie rope around

tors. employed as carry.in boy at the
New Martiisvllle glass factory, was
run down and killed by d, & o.
freight train No. 70, while returning
from work with three OF !his compan-

the fact that trains were going in
opposite directions, and stepping from
one track to the other, be was run
over by the traia going moth. This
is the fifth person who has been killed
near the same spot in the last year.
and number of persons have been
crippled. On account of the numerous
fatalities that have happened in this

to prohibit treSpassing on That partlcu-

Weeds.

Weeds have been ,aptly defined as
plants out Of their proper place, Thus,
Kentucky blue grass is a treasure in
the lawn and weed in the adjacent
corn field. We are all more or less
familiar with what we generally call
weeds-dandelion, pusley, quack grass,
thlstles, burdock pigweed, MULLEN,
milkYeed, and many others, because
these plants are always out Of place,
as far as the ordinary back yard farm
er is concerned,
They are easily controlled in the
flower beds, because these beds are
usually small in size, the soil Is loose
and the weeds pull out easily
In the vegetable garden, it is an en-
tirely different proposition, however,
Here the weeds tart about two laps
ahead Of the earliest vegetables, hav-
ing planted themselves the year be-
fore in preparation for flying start.
The soil is firm and they anchor
themselves for the season in very
determined manner.
If we assaii them early, before they
are anchored, we can win out, but they
never give up the battle and success
is the result of constant labor It's
really remarkable, too. how man
grows weaker asth gardening season
progresses.
The sun gets hUtter, the hoe duller,
the weeds more defiant, the soil hard,
er, the mosquitoes start business
The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1913-03-26

earlier and stay later. and 1t Is only
the thought of previous labor invested
that saves most gardens about the
Fourth Of July.
Under such diseouragiug conditions
it behooves US to study the habits Of
our garden weeds and attack them IN
the most effective manner.
After blowing and pulveriZing the
ground, plant the early crops and let
the weeds get good start on the rest
of the patch. Cut every one on below
the ground with sharp hoe, just be.
fore planting later crops. AS soon as
they start again cut they on again.
Those that, grow ftbm perennial root
stock, like the dandelion, should be
puiiedup.
When the vegetables come up, keep
the earth between the rows hoed at
all times, going over the garden after
each rain to break UP the earth's
crust and hold the moisture in the
ground.
Why should we keep the weeds out
of the garden? Principally because
they steal water from the vegetables,
and water is the very life blood
of plants. Secondly, the weeds are all
very hearty feeders and every one in
your garden is using up considerable
proportion of the available plant food.
Remember that hoeing is good for
both tile garden and you, the more
hoeing the better, and a wheel hoe or
hand cultivator is about the best tool
that ever was made, especially In
July.

MEET THE YIN. C. A. TEAM.
Tonight at the Armory building in
Jackson street, will be held the Fair
mont Y. NJ. c. A.,CIarksburg scholas'
tic basket ball game, which will In all
probability wind up the basket bali
season ip..this city,
The two teams are great rivals, and
a hot contest is expected, and thCer is
little doubt but that all expectations
will be fulfilled. The regular Y. NJ. Z.
A. line up will be working in the game
tonight, while Clarksburg will also
have her regular team doing business.
Cam Osborn, the Clarksburg man who
has been out OF the game for some
time PAST, will again be in shape, and
he will no doubt make the game much
more interesting
In the last game between the two
teams, played at Carksburg, the Har-
rison county lads won the game, they
being able to break up every one Of
the Fairlnont high pass plays. owing
to the fact that the ceiling of the room
where the game was played of was SO
low.
The Clarksburg team and rooters
will arrive in this city this evening 20O
strong, coming on special cars over
the traction company lines, and huge
crowd from this city is expected to a.
tend. There will be seating room TO"
ali in the armpry building, as the seats
which were used in the Wesleyan
game still remain.
The Clarksburg boys having woR
and lost with the Fairmont team, think
that the game being played off on the
Armory as neutral floor will give
each team n fair chance of bringing
home the bacon" and according to the
bets authority from their city, they
think they are going to win the con.
