Fish Fry at Encamp-
ment August 1879

Encampment is preparing for
her annual fish fry to be held on
August % and 29, 1916, which
bids fair to out-do all previous af-
fairs of like nature. AS many
know from their past frys, which
have always been among the top
notohers, all the people in this
town and surrounding ranches
should make it a point to be on
hand to see the big bucking con-
test, their specially, and other in
teresting events, which they are
to pail off in connection with their
fry of speekled beauties.

COTTON MARKET MOVES
WITHIN NARROW RANGE

NEW YORK. April 3o.-With many
strong features at work last week tho
cotton market still moved within a
narrow range The ready acceptance
OF much large May tenders than cS-
pected on first notice day for that po-
sition. the abnormally cold weather. the
better outlook in political conditions
talk of large increase in the acreage
and the continued firmness OF the spot
market, all failed to move prices cx-
cept in a small way.
The high prices Of the week were
made on Wednesday,. when prices
were to points over the preceding
weeks close. The low prices were
stood II 10 Is points under the previous
weeks finals. The net change for The
week was a rise of 3 TO points.
1t was generally considered that tho
new crop outlook was bulish because
OF the supposed injury done 10y cold
weather. ON the other hand, bcarish
traders brought forth evidence 10 show
much more extensive planting than had
been reported. At the end OF the week
the conCensus OF opinion was that the
acreage would he increased by at least
10 per cent.
The trade is less inclined to pay at
tcntion TO international politics than
il has been in months, the desire in
all quarters being TO discount new
crop conditions. This week will see
the market more OF weather affair
than IL has been. IL political news is
not too distur Continued cold,
especially If rain falls. would be re-
garded as highly unfavorable and
would stimulate the demand for con-
tracts. on the other hand. warmer
weather without much rain. would be
regarded as ideal.
The spot situation will be watched
closely, because Of the rumor that in
terror spot houses are trying to oper-
ate extensively in this market The
trade this week will want 10 see il
cotton taken upon May contracts Is be-
ing shipped out. bearish claims being

PLAY AND PROFIT
FROM MY GARDEN

Two years ago we moved into our
present home in the country. AT that
time J knew absolutely nothing about
gardening. The first year | raised a
few percnnials from seed and was
fairly successful
Last spring decided TO plant few
Swcetpeas and see If could make a
little money from the sale OF lowers.
ON March IS | planted six rows of
Spencer III heavy clay soil which my
husband and ! Spadcd On April 10
planted fourteen more rows, each OF
Scckcl pear trees. The second plant
ing was in fairly good loan that had
been turned over to the depth of the
spade, though the patch had previously
been ploughed by a ncighbor.
Ia the second planting | put two
inches Of leaf mold and covered it
with four inches of soil. Then the
Spencer seed was planted in double
rows. eight inches apart. and covered
TO the garden level. iirmcd down with
the back Of the spade. When the peas
showed above ground my husband
brushed them with birch,
Tn. patch in the heavy soil did II II
do we'll. but the second patch between
the pear trees had plenty OF light and
some sun. and only the last three rows
that We're very heavily shaded failed

stems each and then looked for a mar
