JAIL FOR 1ooTLEGcERs.
New Policy Adopted by Judge in siou,
City Court,

Sioux City, June 6.-Announcement
Of new policy of the district court
in dealing with bootleggsrs, which, 1t Is
hoped, will drive out the illicit seller of
liquor in Sioux City, was announced by
Judge George Jepson in connection
with the contempt Of court case
against S. U. Tjaden, proprietor Of the
New York hotel, upstairs at Fourth
and Jones streets.
Besides fning Tjaden 5000, en- a plea
Of guilty. Judge Jepson added SEN
tence of ninety days in Jail. The court
suspended the jail sentence during
good behavior of Tjaden. On proof that
Tjaden again has engaged iii sale of
liquor the jail sentence will be en-
forced to the limit. Judge Jepson said.
Not only is Jail sentence in store
for Tjaden, but for every other boot
logger who comes before Judge Jepson,
If it appears the accused has deliber-
ately violated the law.
THE punishment in contempt cases
growing out Of violations of the state
the violators," Judge Jepson said.
The trouble with imposing fines no
matter how severe, is that many Of the
DOOllSSSSIS IcSdIu lIlc tlitCS simply as
form of license. They pay the money
aud start in again at their illicit trade
and try to sell enough liquor between
fines to make the business profitable.
In order to stop this practice intend
to make the punishment something the
bootleggers do not like"
The ignominy of being fined for a
law violation is wasted on many OF
those who engage in bootlegging, the
court pointed out. Something more
drastic is needed, Judge Jepson said.
None but the licensed saloonkeeper
has any right under the law to sell
liquor. Those, who have been selling
liquor without that right must stop 1t,
was tho assertion of the court.
It Is not the intent Of the court to
punish any one unduly for technical
violat ton Of the law, but where 1t ap-
pears that the violation is deliberate,
court action henceforth is to be vigor-

Practice Economy.
Special to Times Republican.
Mount Pleasant. June 6.-The young
ladies Of the graduating class of the
Mount Pleasant high school. have this
year established a precedent that will
without doubt become an established
custom. 1t has been found to be the
case here formerly that at the gradual
ing exercises the young ladies were al
ways gowned in a most attractive but
very expensive manner. Parents of con-
siderable means invariably spent as
much upon the gown as they possibly
could while the parents Of less means.
were oft times seriously embarrassed
by the possibility OF their daughter not
making as good an appearance as one
from more wealthy family. Last
Christmas the members of the class
passed an edict that every girl must
make her own gown. and that the ex-
pense was in no case to exceed 1915.
The girls enthusiastically entered into
the proposition. and Immediately went
to work. They were assisted by Miss
Burhans, one of the members Of the
faculty, in the designing of the dresses.
At the concluding exercises the results
Of this movement were most apparent.
Each young lady was gowned in a most
attractive manner, and a total stranger
would never have dreamed that the cost
was less than four dollars.

WASHINGTON, June 6.--In the late
spring. about month after active
grass growth has commenced on the
lawn, 1t Is desirable to apply grass
stimulant to keep the lawn In hrst
class condition. Nitrate OF soda Is a
good fertiliser and will make the
grass grow thickly with Q rich dark
green color that will shcw Itself
promptly after the application. The
landscape gardener OF tho United
States department OF agriculture ad-
vises that those who use nitrate OF
soda should apply It at the rate OF fifty
pounds per acre once month thru
out the summer beginning about the
middle Of May in the latitude OF Wash

The nitrate OF soda should be applied
just before a rain or spTinkling with
the hose. Under ordinary conditions 1t
will keep the lawn q vivid green dur
ing the period when the vitality of the
plant is low. Tho application OF this
fertilizer combined with careful water
ing described in a previous article)
will prevent the parcned appearances %

season.
When nitrate is applied during any
dry period 1t should be used carefully.

solve it In water. Because OF gen.
