that are of a somewhat dry, hard tex
ture, their decay is exceedingly slow,
unless there are other substances in.
termixed to hasten decomposition.
Water may be applied artifcially
for the purpose, but it never has the
same effect as rain, and if a large
heap is made, this latter cannot pene-
trate far into the interior.
Leaves should be collected free from
sticks, if possible, as these are liable
to encourage fungoid growths, which,
finding a suitable medium for increas-
ing the leaf mold, will in due course
render it useless for plant cultivation.
The time taken in reducing leaves
to mold or fine soil depends greatly
on the amount of turning over and 9TH
er attention devoted to the prepara-
tion.
Much may be done in one year, or
even less, but the quality is usually
better if longer time than this is al
lowed.

ROBBED AS SLEUTHS WATCH
Fellow Tenants in CASTOR Means
House in New York City
Lose $4,000.

New York.-Burglary was the last
thing that Leon Lasansky and his fam
lily thought of when they left their
apartment on the fifth floor of the

sides, the house was being watched by
detectives.
CASTOR Means, mentioned in connec-
ton with the affairs of Mrs. Maude A.
King. who was killed near Concord,
N. c., resided in one of the apart
ments there and detective eyes were
on all entrances.

however, they found the apartment
had been thrown topsy-turvy by bur-
glars. Clothing, jewelry and silver
ware valued at $1,000 had been stolen.
Mr.. Lasansky Immediately notified the
police, who in turn told the detectives.

Bitten by an Eagle.

Boston.-Peter Kalianis of No. 43
fremont street, Lynn, was the vic
tim of an eagle recently. Out of
the heat that baked fremont and Mar
ket streets, Lynn, the bird swooped
toward the sidewalk, and fastening It's
talons in Peters arm, took a good
bite. The victim was rescued by
fellow countryman, Peter Chaggris,
who stunned the bird. Together they
carried the bird to the first Peters
home, there to be held in captivity, for
the law says the American eagle shall
not be killed.

CRISIS IMMINENT IN CHINA
RIOT FOLLOWS DISCOVERY OF
STUFFED BALLOT BOX.
Repeated Attempts Have Been Made
TO impeach Premier and Parlia-
ment May Be Dsbanded.

Picking, Jan. 30.-Repeated attempts
recently have been made TO impeach
Premier Tuan Chi-jui and the friction
has become SO serious between the
parliament and the cabinet that some
vital change seems imminent.
Many of the newspapers are predict.
ing that the parliament will be dis
banded because of its lack Of accom-
plishment. The hostile criticism of
parliament has been intensified by a
pitched battle in which the members
engaged because of controversy over
the constitution. Chairs and ink bot
ties were utilized as weapons. Six or
seven members Of parliament were
badly injured in the fight, which re-
suited in the Wrecking Of the interior
Of one of the parliamentary halls.
The fight was precipitated by a very
close vote on the section of the con-
stitution providing for provincial gov
ernments. The Kuomintang or, ultra
republican faction, which is seeking to
decentraliZe the Picking government,
favored the establishment of provin-
cial governments similar to those the
states have in America. Two votes
were cast, and it was found that the
Kuomintang was defeated by a mar
row margin. On recount there were
found to be more votes than members
in attendance at the session, and the
result was a general scrimmage.
President Ii Yuan-hung has kept
aloof from the struggle between the
premier and the parliament, but I'M
fortunately both parties to this strife
are very critical of his attitude and
say he has shown lack of courage.

COL. FRAME OF NORTH DAKOTA
TROOPS HOLD SACRIFICE OF
MILITIAMEN EXCEEDS GOOD
ACCOMPLISHED.
uE IS STRONG ADVOCATE
OF UNIVERSAL SERVICE
States That National Guard Gave Bor.
der People Security They Had Not
Felt for Two Years and Real Ser
vice Was acknowledgements
sorry Training Endorsed.

st. Paul, Jan. 30.-The nation is rid
ing the national guard to death, thinks
Colonel John H. Frame, commanding
the First North Dakota infantry, which
has arrived at Fort Smelling, from Mer-
cedes, Texas, for the mastering out
process that is expected to send the
troops home soon.
Mind you, I'm not criticizing the
administration" said the colonel "The
guard gave the border people secur-
ity they had not felt in two years. So
far as the border people are concerned
they would not have felt more secure
if the troops had gone into Mexico.
The guardsmen rendered them a real
service.
No Permanent Good.
But the men feel that no perma-
nent good was accomplished. They
spent six months on the border at a
financial loss to themselves, while
their neighbors took their jobs and
competitors won their business. They
were sent down because they had spent
time in preparation. They feel that
the burden ought to be more equally
distributed.
"The only way to share the work
equally is by universal compulsory mil
itary training. 1t would not take a
great deal of time. Every man ought
to be willing-but willing or not, he
ought to be compelled-to put in one
evening a week training in some arm
DRY and one month each summer in
Those who were officers or non-com-
missioned officers would, of course,
have to devote as much more time as
necessary.
Would Mean More Armories.
'The men would not have to be
paid" the colonel continued. Men
do not do this work for money. But
they should not have to stand the ex-
pense or any part of it themselves. 1t
would mean more armories. In larger
cities it would mean two to four ar
mories, but they would be in use every
night in the week"
Congress will not pass a universal
service bill, Colonel Frame reflected,
because the people would not stand
for it. The public attitude is that of
Let George do it" yet, he said, train
ing would win battles with a saving of
thousands of lives lost through vol
untary system, while men would not
be asked for more than a comparative
ly small amount of their time-not for
more than it is fair to ask of them
and then only for short period of
their lives.

WESTERN CANADA LEADS
AS WHEAT PRODUCER
342, 100000 Bushels Wheat in
1915; In 1916 Many Farm
ers Paid for Their Land
Out of Their Crop.

That Western Canada is indeed
Mistress of Wheat to the extent that
It's 1915 crop exceeded, acre for acre,
the production of any country on this
continent is a striking fact proved by
the following figures:
In 1915 the Dominion of Canada pro-
duced 376,0OO,0OO bushels of wheat,
which represented an average yield of
20 bushels to the acre. The United
States produced 1011, 500, 900 bushels,
yield of II bushels per acre. The only
serious competitors in wheat produc-
ton in South America were Argentine,
with 1921, 900 bushels, or less than
II bushels per acre, and Chile, with
100000 bushels or Ii bushels per
acre.
The three Western Canadian prairie
provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta produced between them
S42 100000 bushels out of the total Ca
madam 376,0OO,0OO bushels. 1t will be
seen, therefore, that, outside Of the
United States, Western Canada pro-
duced considerably more than the COM
bined production of North and South
America. Canada is of course new
settled country, and the fact that the
crop of the United States was practi-
cally three times as much is no dis
couragement. The United States has
at present more than twelve times the
population of Canada in approximately
the same area
To illustrate further the greater pro-
ductiveness of Western Canadian land,
we submit the following figures, show
ing the 1915 yields per acre in the
three provinces Of Western Canada
and in the states which in that year
produced the greatest quantity of
wheat. The figures are taken from the
U. S. department of agriculture's an
nual report and from the figures of the
Dominion census bureau:

ANY CORN LIFTS OUT,

It's like magic!

Sore corns, hard cOrns, soft corns or

lifted right out with the fingers if you
apply upon the corn a few drops Of
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
For little cost one can get a small
bottle of freezone at any drug store,
which will positively rid ones feet OF
every corn or callus without pain.
This simple drug dries the moment
it is applied and does not even irri-
tate the surrounding skin while ap-
plying it or afterwards.
This announcement will interest

hasn't any freezone tell him to surely
get a small bottle for you from his
