The meeting at the council
room last night developed into
more of a love feast than any.
thing else. There was not a
word offered against paving,
the only question being the
best method TO pursue and when
it was shown that the only
way for the paving to be had
was for each paving district to
pay for their own paving, there
was not a dissenting voice
The hall was crowded with men
who wanted to see the town

called upon to give his views it
was plain to be seen that paw

short time. February Oath is
the night set for the council to

drowned himself in the lake near the

In the following excerpt Samantha
and Josiah thus discuss the license

Gould a woman make more un-
reasonable, inconsistent law than
this? If you pay dog tax your dog
is protected by law; if your sheep
gifts killed by wolves or any other
destroyer you have a right to kill
that destroyer at sight, and the law
pays you for your loss. But duz the
law that protects your dog and your
sheep protect your boy? No! 1t pro
tects the wolves that destroys the boy,
and worse than that it helps the wolves
TO destroy him, makes it possible and
profitable, and worse yet it goes into
partnership with the wolves, and takes
part of the blood money. Can the law
that protects sheep and dogs pay the
mother for the loss of her boy after

A Time Study of Candy Making.

From the Engineering Magazine.
Some time ago 1 studied the making of
candy. In watching the girls hand-dip-
ping the centers / was surprised at the
rapidity and combinations of the mo-
tons. which were made with such swift
ness and dexterity that the eye could
scarcely follow them, and l thought it
was going to be by far the most diff
cult task of time study work l had en-
countered.
Close study soon revealed the fact that
the motions were Invisible into certain
classes, each class having its own pc
culiarities By starting the watch when
the girl began the motion and stopping
it by using the accommodating stem when
she finished the motion, then waiting
until she started the same motion again.
then starting the watch. l was able to get
some valuable information. l saw. too,
that there was a definite relation be-
tween one motion and another, and by
studying the performance of a number of
girls separately. to determine the peculiar
motions followed by each. it became pos
sible to reach some important conclu-
sions Some girls made ten motions per
piece, others five. The average was S8
motions. Standardzing showed that
seven motions were sufficient. and that
through proper directions and training
six motions would do the work as eff
GENTLY as SS motions. When 1t is con-
sidered that the girls averaged $1,000 mo-
tons per day of nine hours, it can be
seen how impossible it would have been
to study the work in any other way.

This is what fungi always do. go right
into the plants tissue and build UP their
colonies there. and SO either destroy the
plant completely or make it sickly and
unsightly-"all speckled' as the holly

And because fungi are actually in the

nothing can be done to destroy them

PROMOTES BRUTAL INSTINCT.
Reason Assigned for Abolition Of
Boxing in California Prison.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, June 15.-Naude-
willie and boxing are recreations of the
past in California prison life, according
to a statement made today by Charles
Sonntag member of the state board of
prison directors. For some time prisoners
were allowed to put on vaudeville shows
with prison talent. Later it became popu-
lar for professional actors to give ex-
hibitions in the prisons.
The prisoners became restless and more
eager for liberty, it is said. and Sonntas
holds that plots, and conspiracies to es-
cape almost invariably followed the pres
entation of some theatrical attraction.
Boxing was discontinued, he said. be-
cause it promoted the brutal instinct In
prisoners.

CORN, EARRING OUT,
IN NEED OF Rain
Farmers Complain That Crop Is
Being Affected, Especial
ly on Thin Soils.

Again a loud cry for rain is going up
from the farmers of Rock Island
county. The hot weather has drawn
the moisture out of the soil at an
alarming rate and corn which is now
beginning to ear needs more than it
can get, especially in the poorer soils.
The rich bottoms and prairies are not
suffering so much. Pastures, also, are
getting poor and the vegetable gar
dener is beginning to find his green
goods cut short.
At Muscatine the melon growers are
complaining. 1t takes lots of water
to mako big melons and to bring the
crop to perfection one good "soaker"
is all that is now needed. If 1t comes
the melon yield will be record break
er. The first carloads OF melons will
be shipped about Aug. 3.
