CORRECTING SOUR SOILS.

The question whether a given tract
of land is sour (acidl or not may be
easily determined by testing It with
blue litmus paper which may be got
at almost any drug store. To make the
test take sharp. clean spade and
thrust 1t into the soil seven or eight
inches. press the handle forward a tri-
tie. slip a piece OF the testing paper In
back and withdraw spade carefully.
Let the paper remain for a few hours
and then take up and examine. III
the blue paper has turned to a reddish
color. wholly or in part. 1t IL sign
that the soil is sour To correct sour
ness the tract should be given proper
drainage, II it does not already have
it (such tracts usually do noo. and
should then be sweetened by the ap-
plication OF ground limestone and
barnyard manure. Such tracts, usual
ly unproductive when sour. may be
made the most productive on the
whole farm ii properly handled.

slLo CLUBS IN KANSAS.

Groups OF farmers in a number OF
counties La Kansas have this season
formed silo clubs or associations the
purpose OF which is cooperation IN
helping each other to build silos. In
Leavenworth county under the direc-
ton OF the county agricultural agent
four farmers recently became interest
ed In forming a silo construction club
The four are now building cement silos
according TO specifica lions secured
from the State Agricultural college, and
the material for each silo, as they have
figured 1t, is going TO cost approximate
ly $3.50. The total labor required for
each silo is thirty-seven and half
days work for one man. but as they
trade work this does not appear as
cash item. In another county, Mont
gomery, ten men have formed such
club. They have bought first class
steel forms. together with an engine,
concrete mixer and hosting apparatus,
costing about $1,000. With the forms
owned six feet OF wall can be built In
a day. This club not only expects to
build silos for its own members, but
for other farmers in the locality as
time may permit. In the filling OF the
siIos this same type OF cooperation will
be carried out. thus removing one of
the chief drawbacks in building and
operating silo where but one farmer
Is interested In the improvement.

MAY HEAD OFF COAL STRIKE

MAY HEAD OFF COAL STRIKE
There will be no strike of the BIZ
luminous coal miners this year if
plans agreed upon by the policy COM
mittee of the United Mine Workers
are carried out.
When a split seemed certain be-
tween the operators and the miners
the latter placed the difficulty in the
hands of their policy committee.
The committee agreed that the
men should continue to work at the
old scale which expires April 1 and
that the difference should be taken
up by the various locals. Most of the
miners troubles have been with the
Ohio operators.

THE BRICKLAYER

BY Jim Nance.
You might call him the human fowl
Cause he can lay brick.
He smothers them in mortar
So they will surely stick.
He makes your home foundation,

Would he be mortified?

CAPT. HALPIN SAYS GIRLS
STORY Is A FAKE

Capt. Halpin. of the detective
bureau after an investigation says
the story told by Bessie Huntus of
Imprisonment in a rooming house at
1923 Indiana avenue and of her res
cue by Kate Adams, is false
The chief Of detectives asserts that
the girl left the house quite often,
that she went out as often as she
pleased, and that there was a tele-
phone in the house by which she
might have summoned aid had she
been held a captive.
The girl claimed she was made a
prisoner in the house by James
Chiappetta, Martha Wagner, Adonis
ScoiIli and another man.
The police are of the opinion that
the story was sprung for the sake of
politics.

GUNMAN DRAWS YEAR TERM
OTHERS ARE FINED

OTHERS ARE FINED
Tom Credideo, driver for the Chi
cago Journal and a gunman, got a
year in the House of Correction and
a 5000 fine in Judge Rafferty's court
yesterday. VIM Miller and John Rou-
lin were fined for carrying revolvers.
Credideo of 2710 Park avenue was
found guilty of shooting Phil Vetter
Jan. 26. Young Vetter, just out of
hospital, fever-fushed and wobbly on
his legs, pointed out Tom Credideo as
the man who came into the Candies
ice cream parlor on the morning of
Jan. 26, pulled a revolver and plugged
him in the back.
ct was a frame-up, a planned and
cold-blooded shooting. Credideo shot
this boy for revenge because the boy
whipped him in a fair fist fight two
days before Credideo came into the
Candies ice cream parlor in daylight,
in the early morning, and tried to
murder Vetter. 1t is only by lucky
chance that this is not a murder case.
1t was not reckless. 1t was a cool,
planned attempt at murder"
In these words o. NJ. Kaufman, an
attorney assisting H. c. Lust, assist
ant states attorney, scored Credideo
for foul play.
Its easy to shoot a man in the
back when you come in on him all of
a sudden and he hasn't got a gun to
defend himself WITH said Kaufman.
