NORTHWESTERN CIRcULATES
ANTI-STRIKE PETITION

Petitions are being circulated
among shop, track and depot work
ers of the Chicago & Northwestern
road, asking the trainmen to recon
slider their plan to call a strike. The
petition points out that a strike of
the trainmen would be a fight to
benefit only 20 per cent of the roads
workers while the remaining 80 per
cent would be forced out of work
with nothing to gain.
Union officials say the passing of
this petition is simply another
scheme of the railroad managers to
stir up trouble between the trainmen
and the other rail workers.
The Monon railroad has notified
it's trainmen that if they strike they
will lose their seniority standing for
promotions, according to infoTma-

ployes joining the strike will forfeit
the rights and privileges Of years Of
service if the railroad enforces this
ruling.

GRAND JURY MAY CONSIDER
RISE IN WHEAT PRICES

A federal building rumor is to the
effect that U. S.. Atty Charles Clyne
is going to ask a special grand jury
of Judge K. M. Lands to consider
the actions of certain wheat specu-
lators who make their headquarters
in Chicago's Board of Trade.
This step, if it is taken, will be
the answer of the people to the plea
of bakers that they must raise the
price of bread because -four and
wheat prices have been kited.
CIyne refused to talk on the sub
ject yesterday. It is admitted by at
taches of his Office, however, that
an investigation is now in progress.
VIM. Cowan, representing five of
the biggest millers in the country,
conferred with Dist Atty Clyne to-
day on the rising price of wheat. He
is reported to have told Clyen there
was no legitimate reason for the Jug
Cling in wheat prices. Clyne also
guizzed several brokers.

A Dry Nash Feeder.

A very handy device for feeding
ground or cracked feed to fowls is
made out of joint of stove pipe and
a tin pan. Ono end Of the pipe is fas-
tened to the inside Of the pan by legs
soldered on by d timer and should be
about an inch above the bottom of the
pan so the feed will work out. To
prevent its tipping over and rats from
getting to the feed, it should be sus-
pended by wires little above the
floor. With dry mash Of ground grain
such as bran, shorts corn meal,
ground oats and beef scraps always
before them and some wheat and
cracked grain scattered in litter
morning and evening SO thcy Will ex-
ercisc by scratching, the poultry will
have a complete ration. OF course
some forms of grit and lime should be
supplied.

Cape Basketball Five Loses Final
Game By 20 To Is
Score.

The Cape Normal basket ball team
last night lost its final game of the
season By a score Of 20 to IS to the
strong quintet f,om the Springfield,
Mo-, Normal Scnool. The playing was
fast and clean from the start to finish
and the game was won by the better
team.
A large Grove assembled at the
Normal gymnasium TO witness the
final contest, wren the Courleux ma
chine endeavored TO redeem itself FOR
the defeat suffered at the hands of the
Springfield boys esveral weeks ago at
Springfield.
At the beginning Of the contest, the
Cape boys scored two baskets in quick
succession and for several minutes of
the first period, they held the lead over
the visitors.
The Springfield five, however, show
ed superior team work and the visiting
boys were able to work the ball in
closer TO the goal, with the result that
they bega nscorirg with regularity and
passed the Cape five. The score at
the end If the first half was Z to s in
favor Of the Springfield team.
In the second period, the lead was
widened, the game bing fought to the
finish throughout.

Value of Wood Ashes.

Wool ashes arg a valuable fertilizer
and should not be thrown aside ard
wasted. They are fine to scatter
around the fruit trees and scrubs and
their potash is good for the garden and
yard. Especially are they = stimulant
for the lawns Of town and city dwell
lers who arc Often troubled by the dy-
ing out Of the grass. Here in the Cape
people frequently seek some dressing
for their yards that will rcvivify the
lawn. Stable manure is usually re-
sorted to and is very good but the
right quality IS often hard 10 get and
the residue mast be raked up and
removed in TIE spring. With ashes
there is nothing to do bit to scatter
them about. At the saw mills in
South Cape there are piles Of fine
ashes going to waste from the fur
naces which MAJ be had for nothing
more than the hauling. Every pound
of these ashes should be utilized as a
fertilizer and they should have a cash
value above that Of stable manure.

URGES JOHNSON
Expert Tells How To Keep Your
Fruit Trees Bear
ing.
By Prof. l.. r. johnson.

Home made lime sulphur is an easy
matter to make lime-sulphur spray
for the scale right at home on the
farm through the commercial! mix
| ture is abou, as cheap and is 10 be
preferred Wien it can be bought con-
veniently. For home making we must
have 10 pounds sulphur and Is n unds
stone lime. The sulphur as solo by
the drug s:Drt. is prohiDitie N price.
Chemical firms in the cities viii sell
it at from 5 to cents per pound while
the druggist retails it incidentally at
about Is cents.
To make the spray We first pat the
10 pounds of lime in a harril and pro-
coed to slack it as fOr whitawash.
When it begins to boil, add tna >
pounds Of sulphur and stir it in. When
Stacking is over add a feg gallons OF
water to thin it and pour it in an
iron kettle. There it should nc boiled
for an hour. Next there must be
enough water added to make total
Of 90 gallons in ell. To do that, cal
culate the numEcr of gallons of the
cooked mixture and add the difference
between that and so gallons.
1t is then ready to be sprayed and
is seid to be more effective when warm
but warmth is not essential. Apply
it all the same day tits made if pos
siblc. Before applying, the tree
should be pruned of all surplus wood
and then every inch of the bark wetted
with the lime-sulphur If the job be
we'll done, nearly all the scale will be
killed and q regular annual spraying
will hold it in complete check.

Little River Asks Court
To Override HAYS
Continued from page u

two sides Joined issue and the attor.
neys for the drainage ditch have re.
fused to yield to that demand.
Judge Hays likewise stipulated that
the plans for the bridges were to be
jointly approved by the engineers fol-
the drainage district and the county
In order to speed up construction OF
the bridges, Judge Hays put in q
provision that before cut is made
all the materials for the construction
of The bridge shall! be on hand at the
bridge site.
In each case, the bridge shall be
completed within a specified number
! of days from the time when the road
first is cut till the bridge is finished,
and, in no event, shall the time be
more than 30 days, was another condi-
ton imposed by Judge Hays.
Bridges over the first two cuts shall
be completed before the third road
way may be tapped and the third and
fourth bridges shall be finished before
the fifth roadway is tapped, according
to the terms of fis contract.
Judge Hays contract also provides
that if, after the close of the litigation,
the liability for the bridge expense is
placed upon the county, the obligation
shall be put in tie general debt of the
county in favor Of the district.
That is the second point where the
drainage district has refused to yield,
claiming that the county should pay
the obligation, il it loses the legal
fight, out of the special road and
bridge funds in II annual installments
Senator R. B. Oliver and r. B. Oil
YER, Jr., yesterday represented the
Drainage District against Hays and
Caruthers for the County Court.
When the divers would not yield
to Hays demands and Judge Hays
stood firm with his position, the Oil
vers requested that Hays consent and
arrange to have the County Court,
Hays client, hear their arguments.
Hays agreed to the request and the
hearing before the County Court fol-
lowed, when the divers argued their
position and Judge Hays quoted his
reasons for the stipulations to which
the Drainage District objected.
He declared that if the permanent
bridges are not built at once instead
of temporary structures, endless liti- |
cation will intervene which may tie
the project up foY a generation.
He argued it would be wrong to take /!
1.-THE special road and bridge fund for
the payment of the bridge costs if the
county is found liable, because of the !
fact that the $4,000 a year, a sum
limited by the law, is used up to the
last penny by the roads throughout |
the county.
