The British and Italian ambassa'

during the day as to advlcesy from

governments over the situation In
Mexico, City, where food is scarce
and the water supply cut off. The
situation has been further compli.at-
ed by the decree of General Carran.

THE SPRING SOW
ING Of CYCLAMEN

IL You want to grow cycldmen
from seed secure a shallow box, say
about five inches in depth and place
In the bottom layer of pebbles and
charcoal for drainage, and then abod:
three inches of good rich light earth
which is best If mixed with leaf mold
and very rotten manure.
To insure success 1t Is we'll to
bake the earth in the oven, IN pan
or crock, to kill any weed 1eers or
insect life, and then sift it thorough.
ly.
When the soil is cooled on, place
It in the box and level with Il piece
Of lath or other straight edge, and
make shallow drills in the surface.
These drills must be just deep
enough to make a mark where the
seed should be placed in the earth.
In sowing the seeds place them
very sparingly, as 1t is best not to
have them planted too thickly. Gov
err them with just enough earth to
bury them about four times the
thickness of the seeds.
Water thoroughly. but be very
careful not to flood the soil so as to
make mortar or wash the seeds
from the light earth.
The best way to distribute water
on the surface of such seed bed Is
to squeeze the moisture gently from
a sponge.
The moisture should be retained
by laying a pane Of glass over the
top OF the box. 1t is best to put
short sticks across the corners, al
lowing the glass TO be raised just
enough to permit a circulation OF
air and still keep the moisture in.
This will assist greatly in produc-
ing an even temperature. The box
should not be placed in direct sun
light, and the accumulation of mois-
ture on the under surface of the
glass should be removed on.e or
twice day.
When the seeds terminate, and
the small plants appear, which will
possibly vary from one to several
weeks, 1t is best to raise the glass
more, and II the light is strong 1t
should be removed In daylight.
When the plants show three or
four leaves they should be trans
planted into another box containing
similar earth, or into very small pots
where they will have more opportun'
ity to grow. They require tender
care during their early life.
Seed sown in early spring should
make plants that will bloom the next
winter. When warm weather comes
they should be set in open ground in
a bed of rich light earth, carefully
weeded until September, then potted
in four inch pots, shaded for while
and placed indoors John T. Tim

IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE
HELD UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Pierre. s. D.. April THAT the pro-
visions of certain laws of 1911 are I'M
constitutional and void is the opinion
OF the state legal department. on in
quiry by State Land Commissioner
Hepperlee. That section is in relation
to compensation for permanent i'm
provemsnts placed upon state lands.
Its closing provision holds: said de-
post to be paid to the owner OF said
dam or well, said payment to be cred
tied upon rent or purchase price of said
highest bidder for the lands upon
which said dam or well Is located"
This provision was made a part of
the act on the grounds that when a
leaseholder on state lands placed such
permanent improvements as a well or
a dan or the same he should be com
pensated by the payment of at least
one-half the cost of the same IL the
land was leased or sold to another. *
This provision is held to be in vio-
lation OF sections 2 and 8, article s OF
the constitution, which prohibits any
OF the principal or interest Of the school
fund to be diverted from the benefit of
the schools in any manner. Such pay
ment out of lease money is held to be
diverting the income; and out OF sale
price the diversion Of the principal,
neither of which is allowable.

The newer German naval and military
airships OF the Zeppelin and Parseval
model are equipped with wireless ap-
paratus OF much greater power than
ever before. The wireless impulses are
diffused and received by an aerial
made OF a three millimeter ~phosphor-
bronze wire that. as the airship rises

length OF $50 feet, and that when the
Airship is aloft floats freely in the air.
The apparatus itself Is very compact;
with its small dynamo 1t weighs go
pounds. 1t has a minimum range of
lao miles and can produce wireless
waves from 1000 to 1000 feet long.
According to the Wireless World, every
large aerodrome In Germany has its
wireless station: those at important
centers like Johannisthal, Cologne,
Decentralization. Frankfort and Mann
helm are very powerful. Taken to-
gether they form a continuous ring
round the borders Of Germany, and
keep German airships in constant touch
with a German base. They also serve
as a sort OF wireless compass, for they
enable the navigating officers when out
OF sight OF land to fix their position
with more than a fair degree Of accu-
racy.

OUTLINES FINE POINTS OF

FINALLY DECIDES TO
ADMIT SLAVE CHARGE
Famous Sioux Falls Case Comes
to End When Woman Enters
Formal Guilty Plea.

Sioux Falls, s. D., April THE enters
ing of a plea of guilty before Judge
Elliott. Of the federal court In this city,
by Hortense Rich, keeper Of a local re-
sort. to an indictment charging her
with having violated the Mann act, 9TH
erwise known as the white slave law,
is the concluding chapter in n of the
most celebrated white slave cases In
the history Of the United States court
for South Dakota. In entering her plea
of guilty the woman withdrew her for
mer plea Of not guilty. Judge Elliott
sentenced her to a term Of five months
in the Minnehaha county jail in Sioux
Falls, and h already q commenced
serving her term,
Mrs. Rich was indicted on the charge
Of having arranged for the transporta-
ton of two girls-Florence Schultz n
Jessie McCombs-from st. Pau to
Sioux Falls for unlawful purposes. The
alleged offense was committed In June,
1913. During that month 1t was ad-
mitted that Mrs. Rich was in st. Paul.
The testimony showed that Mrs. Rich
left st. Paul for Sioux Falls over the
Great Northern railroad on the evening
Of June Is, 1912. some hours before the
departure of the two girls from st. Paul
for Sioux Falls owe the Omaha rail-
Dad m.. o..
This testimony. which was offered in
the trial of the case in October, 1912,
was designed to show that Mrs. Rich
had nothing to do with h girls coming
to Sioux Falls, and did not pay their
transportation, as charged In the indict-
ment. The testimony showed that the
transportation for the two girls was or
dered by another party. this evidently
having been lone to shield Mrs. Rich.
The two girls themselves testified
hat they a come to Sioux Falls at
the solicitation of Mrs. Rich, and the
Schultz girl offered in evidence a letter
from Mrs. Rich, urging her to come to
Sioux Falls. The fact that Mrs. Rich
now has entered a plea of guilty to the
charge shows that her visit to ST. Paul
was for the purpose of arranging for
the transportation OF the girls to Sioux
Falls, and that while she herself may
not have directly ordered the transpor-
tation for the girls, 1t vas done at her
solicitation and II is evident that the
third party who ordered the railroad
tickets was reimbursed by Mrs. Rich.
