A son was born to Mr.. and Mrs.
Walter r. Bond of Eastwood Park,
Wednesday.
George Pilgard of Tagus was in the
city Wednesday. He has been station
agent at Tagus and came down to
have his eyes tested. Mr.. Pilgard has
been relieved from his duties temper
arily pending the result of his ex-
animation for sight. He is well quail
flied for the position and can handle
the work well, yet owing to a certain
rule, he may not be able to get rein

The victims of the recent Westby,
Mont, fire were Fred Anhalt, meat
market and grocery, Minot cafe, own
ed by Minot parties, VIM. Schlosser,
pool room, Ole P. Olson, rooming
house, Slocum & Simpkins, saloon.
Very little insurance was carried on
any of these houses and the fire spread
with such rapidity that the fighters
were unable to save but small por-
tion of the stocks. This is the third
attempt within two months to wipe
out the little city, two of which have
been partially successful.

case has been signed by Judge Il. s
Thomas of the United States district
court sitting in New Haven, Conn
Sidney Il. Hawley is made special mas.
ter to conduct the sales, which will be

The plaintiffs are d. e. Loewe & Co..

The decree marks the end of the
case, which is now in its fourteenth
year Of litigation. Ut the inception Of
the case in September, 1903, the hat
tiers union entered into written
agreement with each of the defendants
whereby it agreed that 1t would pay
all of the expenses Of such defendants
and save each individual from all liza
bility," the union announcing that
those attached will be put to no
greater expense in the matter than any

be necessary in the pending contcn-

ton was in charge until a judgment
against the defendants was affirmed in
the United States court in 1914, when
it disclaimed further responsibility in
the matter. Later the federation took
up a voluntary contribution which is
said to have yielded about $4,000.
Loewe & Co. announced that If the
sum was paid over to the plaintiffs
it would discontinue all proceedings
and give the defendants release. The
unions are said to have declined to do
this, and the plaintiffs then took steps
to obtain satisfaction of the judgments

ANTIQUITY OF FREEDOM.

And wavy tresses gushing from the cap
With which the Roman master crowned
his slave
When he took off the gives. A bearded
Armed to the teeth, art thou One mail
ed hand
Grasps the broad shield and one the
sword; thy brow.
Glorious in beauty, though it be, is
SCARED
With token of old wars; thy massive
limbs
Are strong with struggling, Power at
thee has launched
His bolts and with his lightninSs snitten
thee;
They could not quench the life thou has
from heaven;
Merciless power has dug thy dungeon
And his swart arrnorers by a thousand
fires.
Have forged thy chain; yet. while he
deems thee bound
The links are shivered and the prison
walls
Fall outward; terribly thou springest
forth
AS spring the flames above a burning pile
And shoutest to the nations who return
Thy shouuRgs while the pale oppressor
flies
Thy birthrisht was not given by human
hands;
Thou vert twin born with man In pleas,
ant fields,
While yet our rste was few, thou sat'st
with him
To tend the quiet flock and watch the
stars
And teach the reed to utter simple airs.
Thou by his side amid the tangled wood
Didst war upon the panther and the wolf.
His only foes; and then with him didst
draw
The earliest furrow on the mountains
side.
Soft with the deIuge Tyranny himself
Thy enemy. although of reverend look,
Hoary with II any years and far obeyed,
Is later born than thou; and as he meets
The grave defiance of thine elder eye,
The usurper trembles in his Businesses.
Oh, not yet
Mayst thou embrace thy corselet nor
lay by
Thy sword! Nor yet, Freedom, close
thy lids
In slumber, for thine enemy never sleeps!
And thou must watch and combat till the
day
OF the new earth and heaven.

GROWING ASTERS.
How to Avoid the Blight of the Plant
Sud,

Bug.
The furnished plant bug is every bit
as bad as he is painted, and the ento-
molQgists offer no help. The bugs are
most active and most numerous in dry
weather, when the plants are least able
to Withstand the infection which the
bugs carry This is kicking man
when be is down." They seldom work
in shade, and asters grow well in shade
that is not too dense. A young Or
chard gives about the right conditions.
There Is one grower who has had fine
asters in his pear orchard many years
in succession. On another place the
asters planted in the open ground last
summer were ruined by plant bugs, but
those in garden inclosed by tall
hemlock hedge were fine In spite Of
neglect and a hard clay soil. Corn has
often been suggested as a shade for
asters, but 1t has not been well tried
out. At planting time we all think
that this year may be one Of the sea-
sons when the bugs will not be trouble
some. The earliest varieties of asters,
If they escape stem rot, are out of the
way before the bugs get bad. This is
assuming that they are planted as soon
as the ground will do the work in the
spring. If well hardened in cold frames
before setting out they will stand a
hard frost. Some Of the most profit
able crops encountered either snow
storm or frozen ground after planting
out.

WHY --.-----
Gardens Should Be Frequently
and Adequately Cultivated
wTNICKLE the ground with the hoe"

"NlCKLE the ground with the hoe"
runs an Old udage, and you will
make it laugh with the harvest"
THAT is only another way of saying
that cultivation Is necessary in order to
make the garden grow, ana cultivation
reduced TO its lowest terms means moth
ing more or less than the constant use
of the hoe.
The average amateur Supposes that
the reason why he hoes the garden is
to keep down the weeds. That, of
course, is a necessary part of garden
Ing, but every time the ground Is stir
red what is termed by farmers dust
mulch" is created, which serves to lock
the moisture into the ground
Everybody knows that the oil in "A
lamp rises through the wick by reason
Of what is termed capillary action The
moisture rises through the soil in eX-
actly the same way when the surface
is packed hard, then being evaporated
and lost in the air.
When the surface of the soil is kept
loose this escape of the moisture is
greatly retarded. 1t follows, therefore,
that the most important time of all for
culuvating the garden is as soon after
a rain as the ground can be worked.
1t must not be hoed when sticky. but
prompt cultivation will help to hold
the water which has entered the
ground.
1t is also very important to cultivate
frequently during a dry season, for the
gun bukcs the earth unless it is kept
constantly stirred. \ good hoeing in
midsummer is often worth almost as
much as u shower.
The time to start cultivation is the
moment the plants begin TO poke their
heads through the ground. 1t is neces-
saTy to have air as we'll as water in
the soil if the plants are TO thrive, and
this is accomplished when cultivation
keeps the soil loose.
or course it isn't necessary TO use 4
hand hoe all the time. If the garden is
q large one, n wheel hoe is almost a
necessity, although much labor can be
saved with scUtIic hoe If the soil is
not heavy and full of stones.
Once a week is none too often to cUl-
tivate the garden all the season
through, and the most successful gar
deners will probably hoe the crops
twice as often. The oftener this work
is done the easier it becomes. for il
is not at all hard to cultivate soil
which is in good filth, while ground
which has become baked by the sun
or packed by the rain is difficult to
loosen up.
Cultivation, therefore, should be set
down as one Of the Indispensable items
Of garden work, even though it may
not sound quite so attractive as plant
ing the seeds or harvesting the crops.

Opposes Women Substitutes.

The proposed employment Of women
a. conductors on street cars In Boston
to fill tho places made vacant by men
called to the colors was opposed in res
olutions announced by the Boston
Street Car Mems union. "Organized
labor" the resolution said, would pro
tect women against themselves that
their labor may not be exploited by the
captains Of industry who. under the
guise Of patriotism, hide their real mo.
tives and purposes, which seek to deny
to those at present engaged in this
occupation any serious collective effort
to petition for a little more in wages
that will enable them to maintain the
American standard of living"

Why There Is the Ammonia Taint In
Artificial Ice.

Artificial ice nearly always has the
smell Of ammonia, and yet it does not
come in contact with the ammonia It.
self. This fact is explained by reason
that water absorbs the ammonia vapor.
Artificial ice is made by immersing a
vessel Of distilled water in brine, which
is cooled by pipes containing evaporat-
ing ammonia. Not infrequently am
monia leaks through the joints Of the
pipes, and it is this vapor in the air
that Is caught and imprisoned by the
distilled water as it freezes into blocks

FREEDOM.

WYE are not free. Freedom doth
w In musins with our faces
toward the Past
While petty cares and crawling in
terests twist
Their spider threads about us which
at last
Grow strong as iron chains to
cramp and bind
In formal narrowness heart, soul
and mind.
Freedom is recreated year by year
In hearts wide open on the God
ward side,
In souls calm cadenced as the
whirling sphere,
In minds that sway the future like
a tide.
No broadcast creeds can hold her
and no codes.
She chooses men for her august
abodes,
Building them fair and fronting to
the dawn.
Yet when we seek her we but find
few
Light footprints leading mornward
through the dew.
Before the day had risen she was
gone.
And we must follow. Swiftly runs
she on,
And If our steps should slacken in
despair.
Half turns her face. half smiles,
through golden hair,
Forever yielding, never wholly won.
That is not love which pauses in
the race
Two close linked names on feeting
sand to trace.
Freedom gained yesterday is no
more ours.
Men gather but dry seeds Of last
years flowers.
Still there's charm ungranted,
still a grace,
Still rosy Hope, the free, the I'M
attained,
Makes US Possessions languid hand
let fall.
'Tis but fragment Of ourselves is
gained.
The Future brings us more. bat
