FEET WITHOUT
SERIOUS injury
Tabor Youth Falls Into Dry Well
But "Bobs Up serenely From
Below"

Tabor, Ia, May PA straight
drop of eighty feet without serious
injury is quite feat, but John Ais
trope, aged %, performed it near
here yesterday afternoon, and did
not use a parachute, either.
Aistrope was preparing to descend
to the bottom of we'll by means of
a rope. He had just started when
the rope broke and he fell to the bot
tom. There was no water in the
we'll.
His right knee was strained slight
ly, as was his left arm. Otherwise he
was not injured.

Who Else Believes it, Cady?

Jewell Record: D. C. Chase, of
Webster City, broke into print in
the Des Moines newspapers last week
by giving out an interview in which
he declared that here in Hamilton
county it is the belief that Cosson
and Senator Francis have framed up
a deal by which Francis is to sup
port Cosson for governor of Iowa,
and Cosson is to name Francis Unit
ed States senator in case a vacancy
develops. Chase did not state in his
interview who beside himself in
Hamilton county believes that stuff.

Teutons Prevent Departure of Large
Number From the Dual
Monarchy.
WOMEN AND CHILDREN HELD
Citizen of Trent, Who Served in
the French Army, Is
Hanged.

Rome, (via Paris), May 24.-The
report reaching Rome that the Ger
man and Austrian governments have
prevented 10000 Italians from leav-
ing the territory of those countries
has created a profound impression
here.
The Giornale d'Italia declines to
believe the truth of this report, not
only because this would be opposed
to the rights of nations, but for the
reason that the Italian government
not only permitted the departure of
Austrians and Germans from Italian
soil, but protected these nationals.
From the Austrian side of the
frontier news reaches Udine that the
Italian residents are actually being
hunted and that the fate of 600 who
left Triest hoping to reach Italy is
unknown and that the greatest anx-
iety for their safety is felt.
At Rovigno, in Istria, sixty-two
Italian citizens have been arrested.
These include the mayor, Signor
D'Avanzo and the secretary of the
municipality. All Italian citizens re-
siding near the Notifications Of Pola
have been taken into custody by the
police and at Commons, on the from
tier, 1000 Italians, for the most part
women and children, have been con-
centrated and prevented from leav-
ing the territory.
A Verona dispatch says that Ma
rio Weber of Triest, who notwith-
standing his German name, was an
ardent Italian, enlisted in the
French army when the war began.
He was taken prisoner by the Ger
mans and when it was learned that
he had resided in Triest, he was
handed over to the Austrian authori-
ties and was yesterday hanged at
Linz.
The population of the town of
Trent, one of Austria's strongly for
titled towns, has been reduced one
fifth. During the last two days the
inhabitants have been terrified by
the explosion of mines, with which
the military authorities were de-
stroying houses, bridges and every
thing within the fortified zone that
might interfere with future artillery
actions. The remainder of the resi-
dents of Trent have been notified to
be in readiness to leave instantly.

Rome, May 24.-Contemporan-

government last night officially an.
nounced that it had declared wal
against AUSTRIA Hungary.

The Italian ambassador at Wen
ma, the duke of Avarna, has been re-
called.
Rome (via Paris), May 24.-The
first skirmish of the 1talo-Austrian
war occurred between Italian and
Austrian troops at Forcellini di
Montozzo, in the pass between Pont
di Legno and Pejo, yesterday.
An Austrian patrol crossed the
frontier but was attacked by italian
Alpine chasseurs and driven back
over the border.
Rome, (via Paris), May 24.-It-
ally is at war with Austria Hungary.
With the issuance of the general
mobilization order, the Italian gov
eminent issued a proclamation de-
claring war on Austria, which offic-
tally will begin today.
Prior to this, and after a lengthy
consultation, the ministers of wal
and marine proclaimed all the prov
inces bordering on Austria and the
islands and coast towns of the Ad-
ratio in a state of war, which was
equivalent to the establishment OF
marital law, the step usually pre-
ceding the formal declaration.
Although DRASTIC action has been
looked for momentarily, Italians of
all classes have been electrified by
the swiftly moving events. Early
yesterday morning great crowds
gathered around the quirinal to
await the ministers, who called on
the king for the purpose of discus
sing the situation and signing de-
crees.
When Premier Salandra and Sig
nor Sonnino, the foreign minister,
left the palace the people cheered
them enthusiastically. General Zup-
peli, minister of war, and Vice Ad-
miral Viale, minister of marine, re-
manned with the king for consid-
cradle time after the others left and
later they had a conference with
Lieutenant General Cadorna, chief
of staff, and Vice Admiral Phaon di
Revel, chief .of the naval staff.
When the first blow will be struck
cannot be foretold, but after many
months of preparation, the army,
which has been greatly strengthen
ed, and the navy are ready. Exceed
ingly strong forces are in position all
along the Austro-Italian frontier, on
the Austrian side of which feverish
preparations have been going on the
last few days to make the fortifica-
tions as strong as possible and to
clear the way for effective artillery
action.

Control of Apple Blight.

Blight is now prevalent on
apple and pear trees in nearly
all parts of Maryland. On some
apple trees practically all the
fruit has been destroyed. The
loss in many orchards in the
State is very serious.
In response to the widespread
complaint of apple blight, Prof.
J. B. S. Norton, State P athologist
recommends the following treat
ment:
1.-The most effective treatment
consists in cutting out the diseas-
ed parts. In young orchards
and in nurseries where there is
NATURALLY but little blight, and
in old orchards in seasons when
blight is not serious, by cutting
out every blighted twig and
canker as soon as possible, giving
special attention to the body and
base of the tree, a bad outbreak
may be prevented in following
years. 1t is also necessary to
destroy all blight in the neighbor-
hood on wild or cultivated trees as
the bees may carry it long dis
tances.
Bees are. however, necessary
to pollenate the flowers.
when old bearing trees are
badly infected, winter is the best
time to cut out the blight. The
cuts on large branches or in the
trunk should be brushed with a
disinfectant and when dry pro-
tected by painting with white
lead in linseed oil. In cutting
blight in the growing season, it
is important to wipe the pruning
instrument after each cut on a
cloth or sponge wet with either
carbolic acid, concentrated lime
sulfur, five per cent formalin,
or other disinfectant to prevent
reinfection of the next cut. Cut
twigs several inches below where
the blight shows, as in spring
the germs extend much farther
in than they show on the out
| side -

the value Of legunas crops and lime In
building up the soil for better produe
ton.
He said in part: Nothing will help
more In building up the yielding power
Of the soil than the use Of legune
crops. such as the clovers. alfalfa. COW
peas, vetch and soy beans. These can
be used for turning in As green crops

Of legume crops. ct the same time i'm.
proving the moisture-holdins power
of the soil Any Of these crops can be
easily grown on our Maryland soils
and with frequent applisations Of lime
will give most Of the plant food that
our farm crops require.
The mistake. however. 10 often made
OF using too light an application Not
less than q ton Of burned lime or TIVE
tons Of ground lime stone or oyster
shells should b used per acre. Such
an application as this need not be
given sftensr than every once in flvs
or six years 80 that the cost for lime
would not be more than 80 to so cents
an acre per year.
In buying lime It has been found
that II pure burned lime costs S3.N
per ton at the kiln, then hydratsd
lime or Stacked lime should be S2.1(
and ground limestone $3.50 per ton

Entertainment at Baden.

On June 31st the hall at Baden was
crowded with a sympathetic audience
who had gathered to hear the operetta,
The Crystal Queen, given by the pupils
of the Baden High School. 1t was the
most difficult undertaking ever at
tempted by the pupils of the school
and their complete success was a tri-
butte to untiring energy and the sup
erlative talent of their director, Mrs
w. B. Early.
About fifty pupils took part in the
production There were fairies, wood
nymphs. market girls, soldiers. and
spirits of various kinds; queen, a
prince, and mortal child. There were
beautiful costumes, messy glens, and
rose covered arbors and above all there
was the bright sparkling music that
held the audience spell bound from the
time the curtain rose until the beauti
full tableau at the close.
All did their parts so we'll that it is
difficult to singl lie out any one for par
ticular mention Miss Edna M. Conncl

Cunningham as the Prince Of Slumber
