Kiln of Indian Age Unearthed by Mis-
sourian Digging a Cellar.

St Louis. No, April 21.-Dr. H. NJ
Whelpley, chairman of the archaeo-
logical committee of the Missouri
Historical society, has announced the
discovery of an old kiln containing
many pieces of pottery, on the side of
a hill here.
The pottery is much like that which
the Indians made, but DR.. Whelpley
thinks it is the work of early white
settlers. The kiln, which apparently

was built by white men, was shaped

The kiln was unearthed by Joseph
II. Worst of st. Genevieve, who was
excavating for an addition to his home.
He will build shelter over the kiln
and preserve it.

REDUCE FREIGHT RATES
COLORADO FILES APPEAL FOR
LOWER CHARGES.
Interstate Commerce Commission Is
Asked for Substantial Reductions
In Class and Commodity Rates.
western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-A comprehensive petition
asking a general readjustment of
freight rates involving points through
out Colorado was filed with the In
state and the Colorado Fair Rates AS
sociation.
Involving charges of discrimination
against Colorado common points, and
all other Colorado points taking the
same rates, voluminous complaint
was directed against thirty-two rail
roads and two steamship companies.
The petition was the result of weeks
of preparation by S. II. Babcock, COM
missioner of the Colorado Fair Rates
Association, and the Public Utilities
Commission, representing the State
of Colorado.
The action was initiated by the Fair
Rates Association, an organization of
representative citizens of all parts of
the state. The complaint was for
warded to Washington and was re-
ceived by the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
1t asks substantial reductions in
existing class and commodity rates, re-
citing that the one always present
handicap to the realization of a full
measure of growth and prosperity" (of
the citizens of Colorado and the en-
tire state) has been unjust, unreas-
enable and discriminatory rates of
railroad transportation" and that the
increased and general development
of these cities and this state, certain
to be produced from the establish
ment of just and reasonable trans
portation rates, will not singly reflect
to their own benefit. but to that of
the carriers also in fully correspond
ing degree"

PLANT FOR BEAUTY
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

A tropical effect can be obtained by
castor-oil plants in the middle, with
tall-growing cannas around them.
Use elephants ears for the border.
A glorious hedge is obtained from
saliva. Plant a triple row of the red
sage, as it is often called. Set 1t, but
early in June, and let it grow un-
checked until it is blaze of color.
If the aphis attacks the sweet peas
spray them with strong soap suds.
Give heliotrope rich, porous soil,
composed of leaf mold, thoroughly
rotted manure, and sand to make it
friable. 1t requires good drainage
and plenty of water and will not thrive
in heavy sour soil.
er-blooming larkspur is a novelty
that has proved hardy and beautiful
1t grows to a great height. four or five
inches tall. and is constant bloomer.
AS hardy perennial of great beauty
it is well to try the Albion, white and
bella-donna. sky blue, they are &
riot of gorgeous coloring and great
improvement over the oldtime lark
spur.
Sow mignonette every two weeks
until the middle of July. There is no
flower so fragrant and Il Is easily
grown and will supply pl 4nty of per-
fume for the home rooms
Much better than the commercial
fertilizer is well-decayed manure. 1t
supplies humus, which improves the
capacity of the soil for holding mois-
ture and admitting the air to the
roots.
Take care of the palms and plants
that have been growing in the house
all winter. Do not expose them to
the full sunshine of the garden. Keep
them in a secluded spot until they
become accustomed to it.
The Colorado statesman., 1916-04-29

Hardy phlox can be transplanted at
any time, preferably in the spring or
early fall by dividing the old clumps.
Plant in April about fifteen to eighteen
inches apart and pinch the tops bacl,
when about four incises high. The re.
suit will be that the, will give maxi
mum of fiorets and Il very large head
of bloom. Give an occasional dressing
of manure or manure water.
When very large mass of plants is
desired, pinch back about one-third of
the stems about May and about three
weeks later another thiro should be
pinched back. This lengthens the
season OF blooming and adds to
their beauty.
The Colorado statesman., 1916-04-29
HYDRANGEAS

In the spring hydrangeas should
have some branches cut out at the
bottom to give them a more compact
and sturdy look. They should occupy
a sunny position III the garden and be
protected from the cold winds of au'
tumn. When the buds begin to swell
in the spring cut the branches at the
bottom and the plant will quickly
throw up shoots that will produce large
heads of bloom.
The plants should be watered occa
sionally with liquid manure.
Hydrangeas make a good house
plant If good air and sunshine are
given them.

ss,517 State Tax on Rivers Estate.

The net value of the estate of DR.
Edmund C. Rivers, who was drowned
in Barr Lake last fall, was fixed by
inheritance tax appraiser Hubbard at
$254,047. After a tax of $S,517 has
been subtracted, the estate will go to
Miss Lily r. Rivers of Baltimore, Md,
the physicians sister and his sole leg
atee. At the same time the estate of
the late Lucius NJ. Cuthbert was ap.
praised at $117,9G4. An inheritance
tax of $2,SS1.S5 was levied. The re-
mainder will go to the widow, Mrs
Gertrude II. Cuthbert. The value of
the estate of Mrs. Mary A. Alkire of
Denver was fixed at $71,426, with a
tax of S409.9O.

Paid s125,ooo for 81 and Services.

What constitutes Services render
ed by son to his mother to the
amount of $125,O0O is a matter which
the State Inheritance Tax collector
is trying to determine. An attempt
to avoid paying the inheritance tax
is alleged by State Inheritance Tax
Collector Hubbard in connection with
the estate of Amelia L. Brocker. \
statement filed in the office OF the
tax commission gave the total value
of the estate as $4,000, held to cover
cash, the contents of safety deposit
box, jewelry and a promissory note.
Upon opening the box and examining
the records it was found, said Mr..
Hubbard. that real estate amounting
to $125,000 had been transferred to
the testator's son, A. G. Brocker, two
years ago "for 81 and services rem
dered" and that $4,000 which was
supposed to be in the box had disap-
peared.

HAVE A FLOWER FARM
BY E. VAN eENTHUYsEN.

The demand for choice flowers never
fails and the big cities of the United
States sell enormous quantities. They
must be fine though.
The city man who wishes flowers for
"a special decoration does not care how
much they cost II they are the best
that can be grown.
Flower farming is an agreeable oc-
cupation. But little help is required
The costly adjuncts, such as curing,
drying, housing and storing are not
required. Plants increase in value,
and once place is going it continues
to Increase in productive ability with
each year.
Flower farming does not require rich
coil, but it must be quick and respon-
sive. Some of the requirements for
success, however, demand that your
farm be located near railway station
and should have the convenience of
telephone. Ice or cold spring, and
good road to town.
Start in small way. Be content to
buy from 100 to 500 plants each year
until your plants get old enough to di-
vide and build your stock from. By
starting In n small way you will ac-
quire the necessary experience to cope
with the sitcation and understand the
workings on larger scale. No book
knowledge can compare with a years
actual experience.
There are many plants that increase
prodigiously. Others take several
years to be strong productive plants.
The hydrangea will pay for itself in
II single year. The peony takes longer
10 arrive at perfection.
If planted in the fall the peony will
bloom the first season, hut young
plants are apt to be too quick in get
ting out in the spring and the buds
may be injured by late frosts. One
thousand bushes three years old will
produce 10000 flowers.
The dahlia is q good flower to grow
1t can be planted June 1, come into
bloom nbout August Is. and will be in
full bloom by September. It is a free,
easy early bloomer, has bright colors,
long stems and good plump tubers.
The peony must not be overlooked.
It's requirements are simple, yet at
few periods they are very easily dam
aged.
Plants that are kept dormant by be-
ing dug in the fall may be planted until
Jure with fine success. When plant
ing peonies in clayey ground they
should be set about four inches deep,
but in light, sandy soil or loamy soil
Eve or six inches deep.
Never use much manure the first
year on newly planted peonies. and
never overmanure them. Cultivate
them about three inches deep, then ap-
ply about one inch of manure and
work well into the soil in the spring.
Plant peonies in the bright sunshine
away from trees that are liable to
shade them or whose roots may sap
the plant food in the soil where they
are planted.
Peonies are grown from a division
OF old plants and also from seed. 1t
takes from five to eight years to como
into full bloom from seed.
To get the best results from phloX
they should be planted new each fall
or spring and given plenty of water
while in bloom.

Reduction in Coal Rates Ordered.

Reductions of so cents ton in
freight rates in coal from Palisade
and Cameo to the Cripple Creek
district were ordered by the State
Public Utilities Commission. The re,
duction affects the Colorado Midland
Railway Company and the Midland
Terminal Railway Company. 1t grows
out of the case filed against the two
roads by the Grand Junction Mining
and Fuel Company and the Palisade
Coal and Supply Company.
