Grades of Lemons.

There are good many interesting
points about lemons There are sew
eral qualities that combine to make a
prime or fancy brand of lemons. A
first class lemon must be free from
specks, have u smooth skin of a pale
yellow color and be very hard. Take
a magnifying glass and you will see
that the little black specks on the lem
on that look like seeds are really para
sites. They are called lemon lice. and
a curious fact is that us soon as the
lemon is cut from the tree these para
sites die Immediately.
The best fruit comes from little
place near Naples. Italy, called Maori
The next in grade comes from Sor-
rento. Those from Messina and Paler.
mo are about the same quality and
rank next. and those from Catania are
Inferior The Maior lemons are very
carefully cultivated. Tsay are OF the
trees even while the snow is still on
the ground. but are kept covered with
mating to protect them. not only from
the cold. but from the scorching rays
of the sun. They are nearly white
when picked, very graceful and regu-
lar in shape and are exceedingly
smooth and hard. -Spatula.

Would Make Others Pay For Officials
Mistakes.

That former officials put the city in
a bad hole when it took steps some
time ago to open Ball street between
Janette and Galusha streets, is the
opinion of the city commission. The
commissioners are unable to decide
just what to do in regard to it,
Apparently without granting the
property owners hearing, and on a
petition circulated by one or two in
terested property owners, the city
went ahead and incurred an expense
of $2,120.01, in buying land and in
other items. Mrs. Hattie LaClear.
whose home stood in the center of
the land wanted for the street, has
moved the house off the land, and is
still waiting for her money, as are
the other persons from whom land
was purchased.
This expense must be paid by spec
ial assessment and the commission is
having a great deal Of difficulty in set
thing upon an assessment district.
Commissioner Hanscom does not be-
lieve that those who paid to have Ball
street open from Galusha north to
North street, should be made to pay
again for opening the street south OF
Galusha, while Mayor Defoung
thinks that property owners on the
street as far south as Oliver street
should pay at least an indirect bene-
fl.
City Assessor Sanderhoff, who at
tended the commission meeting de-
clares that numerous property hold
ers included in the proposed assess
ment district, have told him they
would fight in court before they
would pay.
There was a resolution before the
sor to spread the assessment on the
tax rolls, but it was tabled for week,
when the discussion as noted above,
developed and mistake of several
hundred dollars ordered paid one of
the property owners was found. The
commission can't see where the open
ing Of the streets is worth what it will
cost and if there was any way Of
backing down now, the commission
ers would be in favor of it. 1t is
doubtful however, if the city can quit
now.
The commission received a petit
ton from the American Malleables
Co., and the Ann Arbor railroad COM
pany, asking permission to extend the
sidetrack of the Ann Arbor across
Michigan avenue from the west, and
along the south side Of Howard street
close to the factory Of the malleables
The matter was tabled for
week
A part of the new water ordinance,
by Commissioner Rosevear
and the city attorney was read. 1t
provides for the collection of water
taxes in January, April, July and Oc-
tober. On the tenth of each of these
the clerk shall give notice
that all water taxes must be paid
within twenty days. If they are not
paid in that time, the water will be
shut off by the commissioner of pub
lie utilities.

Villa cancelled all train service be.

the announcement was made this
week that train service was to be
kept open the presumption is, in the

Indications are that in the prescn,

from Mexico City should fail, Villa
will have the united support Of all

Many of the prominent officials of the
Cartajal end Huerta regime have al

of Villa.
While those of the old regime are
not in sympathy with the principles
Villa has pronounced, they declare
openly that he is the type of man
who can restore order and that they
will be glad to see Mexico at peace
again, even If half their property Is

Petrograd, Sept 30.-Having occu-

es. leaving Przemysl surrounded and
cut off, the Russian army is now in
possession of all railroads and is ad.
vancing rapidly westward along both
lines traversing Galicia. The north.
ern column has attacked Tarnow. This
Is the last fortified point between the
invading army and Cracow, sixty
miles away.
The southern column has occupied
Sanck. but is advancing slower than
the first, the intention being to cut
eff the retreat ofthe Austrians which
the northern army Is driving to the
south.
Every indication is that the Rus
slams do not intend to try and cap
ture Cracow. but will leave a strong
force there, surrounding and isolat.
ing the intrenched camp, as has been
done at PrZemysl. The advance will
then be pushed toward Breslau.
100000 Russ In Battle.
It is now apparent that the move
ment through Galicia is the main Of
fensive Of the Russian army. Il de-
velops that Grand Duke Nicholas, the
commander in chief, is with the forces
there, who number more than one
million men.
The armies are proceeding along
the parallel lines Of railway, moving
rapidly westward. With all of the
six Carpathian passes occupied by
Russian troops and with strong forces
or the Hungarian plains just south Of
these points, all danger of a possible
flanking movement has been avoided.
Consequently there is nothing to re-
tard the invasion.
German Attack Blocked.
The following official communica-
tion from the chief Of the general
staff regarding thu Russian operations
has been given out here:
Russian troops are driving fast on
the offensive in the forests of Angus
towo, in Russian Poland, Province of
Suwalki. The Germans are using
teavS siege artillery in the lombard
nent of the fortress Of Ossowetz. An
attempt by the German infantry to
close in on the fortress has been
checked
'On the frcnt of Silesia the enemy
has been greatly reinforced and shows
much activity.
"Sorties by the garrison OF Przemysl
have not been successful. Many pris-

EHRMANN CASE Is ON TRIAL

Terre Haute, Ind, Sept. 30.-The
case against Emil Ehrmann, Terre
Haute manufacturer, indicted for the
murder of Edward Wade, was called
Tuesday by Judge B. F. Altman in
the Parke circuit court at Rockville.
Ehrmann shot and killed Wade,
teamster, May 2S, 1913, in front of his
factory in Terre Haute. A strike of
garment workers was on among Ehr-
mann's employees at the time of the
shooting. A nonunion man is said to
have attempted to slap a girl picket
and Wade interfered. Ehrmann, who
was near, shot Wade. 1t is believed
he will contend that he shot in self
defense, since his life and property
we're threatened by mob.

structive work soon after the melons
start to grow.
Soils once infected will continue to
be infected for five and sometimes ten
years, though other crops are grown
during that time. No other means of
escape from wilt is known than to
plant in ground where melons have not
previously grown, and take care to
prevent the infection of the new
ground.
The common method of infection
which can be prevented is that of put
ting on the ground manure from ami
mails that have eaten watermelons or
vines. Frequently watermelons are
followed by COW peas and when the
hay is cut some of the watermelon
vines go into the hay and thus infect
the manure with the wilt which, when
placed ON land, will give rise to the
disease for as long as ten years should
watermelons be grown where it has
