Lumber Yard Changes Owners

Enterprise, July S1.-Chas. Tiede
OF the Tiede Lumber Co., who re-
Gently purchased the lumber stock
and fixtures of the Enterprise Lum-
ber Co., will retain his office build
ing and yard in the old location and
sell off the stock of the newly pur-
chased yard. The lease on the land
occupied by the Enterprise Lumber
Co. is paid in advance and will not
expire for nearly two years, SO there
would be nothing gained by moving
the big stock at this time. Deliver
les will be made from the newly
purchased yard as long as the stock
lasts.

YOUR TOMATOES FAIL TO sETF
Wet weather Interfered With the
POIIenixing

Complaint among gardeners and
farmers that tomatoes have failed
10 set has been quite general this
year and the following from the
Kansas Farmer on this matter Is OF
special interest at this time:
]. L. Pelham, secretary OF the
state board OF horticulture, reports
that he is receiving a great many in
ouiries as to why tomatoes this sea-
SON are not setting fruit. In ex-
planning the probable reasons for
this condition he has the following
TO say:
"The tomato is what we call q per-
feet flower. The anthers usually
produce an abundance Of pollen, but
require sunshine and warmth for It's
best development. in which case It
easily reaches the stigma and causes
the tomato to form. Occasionally IN
healthy plants out Of doors the
stigma receives the pollen as 1t
grows out past the stamens. 1t more
often develops faster than the sta
mems and SO grows beyond 1t before
the pollen natures; in this case the
pollen must reach the stigma Dy
means of the wind, the shaking OF
the plants. or insects.
Conditions under which tomatoes
fail to set are usually these: Cold
damp weather, too rich soil, produc-
ing extreme plant growth, continued
rains, and strong winds that check
normal development. Where grown
in O town garden excessive watering
Of the coil, or even sprinkling dur
ing the middle Of the day, may pre-
vent fertilization.
lit very often pays to hand pol
lenize the tomato by the use OF a
cameps hair brush, or by light shak-
ing Of the plants to jar off the pol
len. This should be done in the sun
shine during the middle of the day"

FISHERMEN MAY
BE LICENSED, TOO

A license which will entitle thu
holder to fish as well as hunt II
being advocated by Prof. L. L
Dyche, state game warden, and vii
come up for consideration before the
next legislature. At the present time
only those who hunt are required
to pay licenses and the proposed
law would require many who fish
but do not hunt to pay 81 license
fee.
The Committee Of Fifteen" OF
which Warden Dyche is a member
has recommended to the department
OF agriculture that the open season
for the Missouri valley be made from
September 15 to February 1. The
present open season is from Septem-
ber. / to December 10.
Professor Dyche thought the first
half of September could be spared
in view OF the advantage to be gain
ed from tacking the month and
half to the other end of the season.
"It will give shooting through the
Christmas holidays" he said. There
is always a lot of this game In this
part of the country all winter. Nal
lards stay around here all winter
and geese and teal are generally to
be found in the Christmas holidays,
when many men take occasion to
hunt If they are permitted to by
law. The early part Of September is
hot and dry, and there is
not much hunting anyway, and ! do
not think the cutting off of these
fifteen days will be hardship up
on the sportsmen."

STATE SECRETARY
TAKES OWN LIFE
Harry Woods, Prominent Poll
tician, Defeated in Recent
Primaries, Commits Suicide
in Moment of insanity.

SPRINGFIELD. Ill, oct. 12.-The
body Of Sec'y of state Harry Woods
was found in a room in the garage at
his home here this morning shortly
after Z o'clock He had been dead
since early yesterday morning, when
he shot himself in the head with a re-
volver
Temporary insanity, resulting from
a blow which he received in the head
in Chicago several years ago is be-
lieved to be the cause.
Woods arose yesterday morning
about $50 o'clock and went to his
garage. He was not seen after that
owing to his erratic habits his wife
thought nothing Of his absence.
This morning Mrs. Woods went TO
the garage to get q book she had left
there. She found the door locked
and the key missing. She immedi-
ately suspected something was wrong
and called to Walter A. Townsend, a
neighbor. He managed to get the
door open.
Find Body on Floor.
Woods body was lying on the floor
of the room next TO the alley. IN his
hand was tightly clutched the revol-
yer with which the shooting was done
at S2-calibre. The bullet took effect
in his forehead just over and between
his eyes.
Nothing was said by the secretary
of state TO his family yesterday which
indicated his intention. He had act
ed queerly for years and many people
have believed that he was not alto
gether right mentally.
However, he has never shown any
morOseness and in outward appear
ance, at least, has always been cheer
ful.
States senator in the primary last
month. he declared himself for Sui
livan and appeared TO be reconciled
to the defeat, although he had conf
dently expected 10 win.
Born i'm Canada.
Secy Woods was born in Canada
in 1863. He came to illinois in 1871.
He succeeded in building up a good
business in the wheat trade, owning
a string OF elevators.
The blow which is believed to have
brought about his temporary insanity
was received in a fight with Rep. John
]. Mclaughlin a few years ago. Nc
Laughlin hit him in the head with a
cane.
Sec'y Woods is survived by his wife
and two children. both girls
Gov. Dunno, who returned this
morning from Chicago, was informed
OF the death Of the secretary. He ex-
pressed profound sympathy for the
family OF the dead official.
Under the law the government must
appoint the successor. AS this is
legal holiday, Discovery day, no busi-
ness could be done and no action on
naming a temporary or permanent
successor viii be taken today.

that the city was doomed

and sent a large force nOrthWard in

However in conducting that enter

Attackers Fall Back.
The attacking forces, under a hot
fire from machine guns, and light ar
tillery, were compelled TO fall back
about eight miles to LOkeren.
At the same time another attack
ing column, which was moving
against Ghent south Of the Scheldt,
was attacked near Melle. The Ger
mans fought gamely, but had TO give
ground and retired leaving a battery
behind.
The occupation of LOkeren by the
German forces was an important

A detachment of uhlans had d
brush with a squad of Belgians near
Quaetricht, southeast of Ghent, and

which caught on fire and was partially
destroyed. The Belgians then retreat
