SHELDON SUGGESTS
EMPLOYING SOLDIERS

The following letter written by
Representative Ben Sheldon to the
state highway engineer has been
made public in which he suggests
the employment of returned soldiers
on the highway survey:
Il write to suggest that your de-
partment make an effort to fill the
crews employed in this county on
road work, as far as possible with
jackson county men.
MY attention has been called to
the fact that there are some Is or
20 soldiers here without work.
Some of them are first class fellows,
not accustomed to using a pick and
shovel, but young men who could
carry a rod or chain or even brush
out ahead of an instrument crew,
and such work as time keeper or sup
ply men would be ABOUT to their lik-
ing and capacities.
Il have not seen Mr.. Mcleod for
some days but when do meet him
will suggest this to him.
IF you find it possible TO place
a few men in such positions ] would
appreciate your letting me know"

In setting out raspberries, black
berries, dewberries, and strawberries,
young plants which grew the preced-
ing season are generally used, ex-
cept when they are planted in the
autumn. In that case plants of the
current seasons growth are used.

Certain insects, notably the plum
and ounce curculios, may be much
reduced in numbers by regularly
jarring the trees in the early spring,
collecting the insects as they fall on
sheets or special cloth-covered
frames.

Few gardeners realize the impor-
tance of pulverizing the soil as deep
ly as 1t is plowed. No matter how
perfectly the surface is prepared, il
the soil is coarse and lumpy below,
the plants will not thrive. Large air
spaces in the soil are q detriment.
but a large number of very small air
spaces In the soil are benefit.

The foliage of stone fruits, as
cherry, plum. and peach, is on the
whole quite tender, and the arsenic
al sprays should be employed with
caution. Arsenate Of lead is least
likely to do harm, tho more than two
applications especially to peach, may
cause shotboling and dropping of
leaves, and burning OF fruit.

MEMORIAL DAY.

IT, Daughters CT the Confederacy
and the Sons of Veterans are making
plans this year for more elaborate
RECOGNITION of Memorial Day than
usual. For several reasons it will be
necessary to have the exercises on
Nav 9 instead of the 10th. In addi-
ton to having the: Veterans as their
guests on that day they are inviting
all the returned soldiers and sailors
from the county to dinner. This in
cIudes also the S. A. T. c. Each one
is asked to wear his uniform and 70
march as a guard of honor to tne
veterans. Fromal invitations are not
being issued. but the chairman OF
every Red Cross branch and auxiliary
has been asked to extend the invita-
ton to the. returned men in the re-
spective townships. OF nearly 500
white men who went from this county
il is estimated that about 800 have
returned. 1t is the earnest hope OF
these Confederate organizations that
all of these may accept this invita-
ton. Nearly every one of these boys
is a son, grandson, Or nephew OF
g Confederate veteran; and it seems
peculiarly fitting, on this first ami
yersary of their Memorial Day since
the armistice was signed, that these
bows in the khaki and the blue, fresh
from a victorious war, should join IN
honoring these noble men in grey.
The program and committees Will
be announced later.

Precious Stones in Nebraska.

A man from Nemaha county. Ne
braska. went hunting moonstones in
California and found two good speci-
mems. He remembered that he had
seen rocks of similar formation on his
farm, and when he came home began
looking for moonStones along the cow
path. When he had made collection.
as he thought, he sent them to the
state geologist, who pronounced them
agate, chalcedony, topaz and tourma-
lines. From these a jeweler cut %
ovals of moonstone, mocha, sardOnyx
and moss, and carnelian agate, and 80
diamond cuts of others, including ame-
thysts and rubies. These gems, which
have been named the finest Of the kind
in Nebraska. range in color from very
dark red through rose, purple, greel,
blue, orange and golden opal to marine
blue.
