 The schedules were made out by Rosenthal, attorney for Willetts and Willets had them fer some time be- fore they were filed in court.
 Dorsen said that Receiver Benham had given him the schedules, that his attorney said that RosenthaI was all right and knew his business and that it was all right to sign. He and Ros- enthal took the schedules to a no- tary, and then Rosenthal took the papers to fife with the judge.
 Dorsen said hat he had favored the appointment of a receiver in the state courts but that WilIetts wanted the Bankruptcy court so that the creditors could select the receiver, and he would De one of them. He then would be able to settle with the other creditors and get the business back and turn it over to us after get ting his money out of it.
 I told MT. Klein not to allow Will ietts to be appointed as neither I nor Mir.

Had not the -senatesbeen delayed in transactlng itg business yesterday, the assembly would have been finally adjourned and the members would have been back today with their leg islative duties completed. The idea of observing the centennial was de- veloped in February and later on an appropriation and a joint commit tee made the program possible, all though 1t was not elaborate or to any particular extent formal. The gath erfng to which came hundreds of for mer members of the assembly, for mer state officers and men who had played leading part in legislative deliberations in years gone by, had more the aspect of a huge Iegisla- tive reunion. Many came who attain ed a reunion of this kind within the capitol in 1Ss6. That one was in February and the two-thousand or more who attended were obliged to meet within the various rooms of the building. Today the gathering was not only within the capital, but in the afternoon the exercises of a commemorative character took place upon the velvety turf of the broad expanse of lawn between the build ing and the state library. Here, too, band played for two hours while the handshaktng went on in the sev- eral offices in the capitol. and while the house and senate chambers wero filled with members.

heavy clay soil, and of binding loose
sandy soils. Lime also corrects any
sourness in the soil due to lack OF
drainage. but in case of this kind
proper drainage should be secured
Lime should always be applied to
the surface, and in no case should
it be put on the land at the same
time as commercial fertilizer.
The proper method would be to
spread the lime upon the land just
after blowing and before narrowing
then apply the commercial fertilizer
one week later. Under no circum-
stances should lime be mixed with
commercial fertilizer or with ma
nure, as it liberates the nitrogen
from them.
The cleanings from the poultry
house are valuable as a garden fer
tilizer, and these should be saved
in barrels or some other receptacle
where they can be kept reasonably
dry until they are spread upon the
garden. This class of fertilizer is
very rich and liable to burn the
plants if applied in too great quanti-
ties or in direct contact with the
roots of the plants.
Preparation Saves Work.

Suggestions for a Box
Social

An out-of-town reader asks for
suggestions for box social. My
impression is that the containers
of the lunch are almost as Important
as the food within. A good idea Is
to carry out one color scheme in
the decoration of the box and the
food within.
~ A Springtime Box.
No color is more suggestive of
spring than yellow, so choose that
for the color scheme. Cover the
box smoothly with plain white
paper. If one is artistic, paint
border of yellow tulips around the
top of the box and the sides. if
you cannot draw you can get an
excellent effect as follows: Find a
picture of a tulip and purchase
some yellow paper. Using the pic
ture as a pattern, cut out enough
tulips to be pasted on as border.
Tie the box with golden cord or
ribbon!

ougf preparation of the soil before
any seeds are planted. In spadine
the land it should be turned over in
small slices and thoroughly pulver-
lied with the edge of the spade. No
amount of rakiing of the surface
will result in pulverizing the lower
strata of soil unless this is done
as it is turned over. In soils that
are easy to handle, 4tine spading
fork is to be preferred to an ordi-
nary spade, because it breaks up the
soil and pulverizes it to better ad-
vantage.
The home gardeners of England
take great pains in the preparation
of their garden soils, even going to
tn extent of throwing the surface
soil to one side and then spading
manure into the subsoil to depth
OF IA to IS inches. After the sub
soil is so treated, the surface soil
is replaced and great quantities OF
decayed manure mixed with it. This
process is known as "trenching,''
and has the effect of carrying the
crops through the drouth period in
much better manner than where the
soil is not broken so deeply.
