PREPARATION OF SEED BED
FOR BEAN CULTURE,

There is considerable interest being
shown this spring in the field bean.
The common variety is the Colorado
Pinto, or sometimes called the Mex
can bean
The preparation of the seed bed for
this crop is of considerable import
ance. 1t is essential that the weeds
be kept down. Owing to the fact that
the beans can be planted fairly late
in the season, it is good plan to kill
most of the weeds before the beans
are put in the ground. This can be
done by continually working the soil
so as to germinate the weed seeds
and then give them a good disking or
narrowing after they come up If this
is not done, it may be necessary to
hoe out the rows after the crop is up.
Upon irrigated land the usual rate of
seeding is from So to 40 pounds, while
on dry lands it is customary to sow
from l. to 20 pounds to the acre. The
crop may be put in with the ordinary
corn planter, drilling them in rows. Of
course, bean planter is more desir-
able. Care should be taken to not cul-
tivate the beans when there is mois-
ture on the leaves or vines. Under
such conditions the bean is very sus-
ceptible to disease.-O. S. Rayner,

Collins, Colo.

Springs Liaht Rates Reduced.

Hearing on the petition of the Colo
rade Springs Light, Heat and Power
company for permission to increase its
gas rates is being held today in the
city council chamber at Colorado
Springs before Chairman NJ. H. Ayles-
worth of the State Public Utilities
Commission.
In March, last, the Commission de-
clared rates being charged by the
company for electrical energy to be
excessive, and fixed a schedule OF
rates materially reducing the cost OF
electric lighting and power to the peo
pie of Colorado Springs. At that
time the Commission stated that the
company was not earning a fair return
on its gas plant, and that it would
hear petition for an increase in the
rates and would base its decision on
the showing made at the hearing. Sub
seQuently the petition was filed and

KEROSENE WILL REMOVE
STAINS FROM BATH TUB

The most efficient method of re-
moving that oily deposit which forms
on the sides of the porcelain bath tub
and bowl is to use kerosene. Take
some soft paper, moisten with kero-
sene and rub over the soiled part.
This viii cut the grease easily and the
extra kerosene can be wiped up with
more paper which, with the first,
should be burned, to avoid danger.
The fixtures may then be washed with
plenty of soap and hot water and they
are clean. This method requires very
little rubbing and is not injurious to
the finish.
Avoid the use OF soda or securing
powders. These will in time injure
the finish of the enamel.
To remove brown stains caused by
standing or dripping water use little
oxalic acid and wash out with plenty
of clear water. This is very effective

Woodrow in Wonderland.

President Wilson will not get many
votes for reelection on the strength
of what he says. He will have to
look for them on the basis of what
he has done, and helped the Demo
cratic party to do, during three years
and a half in office.
His Press Club speech, revised by
him for publication in this mornings
papers, is a pleasing talk about his
methods of thought as he has applied
them to a presidents experiences.
Probably he does not think it is a
campaign document.
His principal text was drawn from
the pages of Alice in Wonderland
and Through the Looking Glass" As
he turns those immortal chapters,
pondering over his chances for another
term, he will run across the prophetic
lines:

And shed bitter tear"

not beauty by any means, and has

fers no other alternative He is con-
tent with things as they are. He
hates new ideas because of the en-
ergy necessary to master them. If he
has home it looks disheveled and
neglected. He follows the lines of
least resistance and like the first man
works only when driven to it. But
happily here and there are those who
are now living examples of what we
ought to be. Here is a man who
stands out like mountain in the

NEW BUILDINGS
 FOR ANCHORAGE
Keport Shows that Seventy-Five Thousand Tons of Freight were
 Landed There Last Season.

Some conception of the enormous business handled by the Alaskan En- sineering commission at Anchorage last summer will be gained from the fact that the records show that sev- .nty-five thousand tons of freight were landed from the steamers there between June 20 and November 20, the opening and closing dates for navigation on the Inlet.
 It is announced that bids will be opened on January IS for the con- struction of a warehouse containing retail stores, commissary, storekeep- CT and clerks offices. and two store rooms. A platform will be built alongside the railroad and also two- story building erected there. One hundred and eighty thousand feet of lumber will be required for the work.
