FIRE AT CITY LIGHT PLANr

The quietness of the evening and
the sIunbers of the early retirers were
alike disturbed about 10:4O last night
by the ringing of the fire bell and the
report that the city light plant was on
fire. Fortunately those in charge of
the plant had seen the fire before it
had gained much headway and the
fire hose carts being so near at hand
a stream of water was soon playing on
the flames. The fire was between the
ceiling and roof and EVIDENTLY origi-
mated around the exhaust pipe on the
Fairbanks Morse engine. Not a great
amount of damage was done but the
plant was put out of commission for
the rest of the night and until Thurs
day afternoon on account of the
amount of water used and the switch
board getting wet. The engines and
dynamos were not injured. This fire
again demonstrated the fact that Wa
Keeney fire department is in need of
some ladders and axes and other tools
and that the fire bell should be re-
ter advantage. If the citizens do not
want to pay for these things in in
creased taxes they ought to be willing
to subscribe to a voluntary contribu-
tion which will raise sum sufficient
to purchase the equipment

himself at the Fair Grounds on the

@HIGH JACK" GAME

That is Just a modern name for an
old hold-up game It is played when
there is gambling game in progress.
When the coin is in the pot and the
players are in dead earnest and so
deeply interested in the game that
they do not know of the approach of
an enemy, it is then that the High
jack man gets in his work He
come in with gun and shoves it in
the face of the whole crew. He tells
them to shell out their money or he
viii blow. the blankety. blank head Off
of the first fellow who refuses. He
talks like he meant business and as
rule the men in the game do as they
are told rather than to run any risk.
In other words, the esHigh Jack" man
is simply a hold-up artist In this
similar fashion the game was played
in WaKeeney Monday afternoon when
two men with handkerchiefs tied over
their faces, high lacked a crap game
which was in progress in the Spragua
barn In the west part of town. The
men who were in the game claim that
the high jacks took up collection
which amounted to about sixty dollars
or more. The game was in progress
when the ho1d-ups entered the barn.
They commanded the boys to leave
the pot money where it was and to
shell out whatever else they had. The
most of them shelIed. One little
stubby fellow refused with the re-
mark "Shoot, if you dare" The high
jack man took q shot at the ground
near his feet, whereupon the little
fellow said: ssWeH, if that is your
game I can play it to-. and reached
for his hip pocket. The s'High jack
game came to close right there and
the high jack men hit a. trail for out
OF town starting north. About an
hour or SO later the game was re-
ported to the sheriff who loaded him
self and shot gun or two into car
and started in pursuit but it was too
late. The men had made their get-a-
way and have not been seen since.

grown plants to the garden that are
worthy of special attention. In the
first place, the plants to be transplant
ed should be watered few hours be-
fore they are to be handled; this will
cause the dirt to adhere to the roots
and give them a better start when
they are planted out. If the plants
are grown in flower pots. in paper
bands or berry boxes, they should be
carried tn the garden in their con-
tainers. Potg grown plants should be
loOsened by mverting them and gently
knocking the edge of the pot on some
thing solid. The plants then are set
With the ball of earth adhering to
their roots.
If the plants have been grown in pa
per bands or berry boxes, the sides of
the bands or boxes should be slit with
a knife and removed as the plants are
set. Where the plants are grown in
trays or in hotbed, a knife should be
run between the rows, cutting the
earth in both directions, and each
plant lifted with cube of earth at
tached to its roots.
Use Fresh Burrows.
The holes or burrows il which the
plants are set should not be made IN
til ready to transplant The plants. If
made too soon the soil will dry out
and cause the plants 10 wilt. Under
all circumstances, it pays to apply a
little water around the roots of each
plant as it is set; this causes the soil
to form y close contact with the roots
of the plant. After the water has
soaked into the soil. dry earth should
b. filed in around the plant and slight
ly tirmed. Plants set in this manner
will invariably start without whiting
1t is always a good idea ito have a
few more plants than are required for
filling the space in the garden, in or
der to replace any that die or are de-
atroyed by insects

The enslage crop is usually wonder

without any cover whatever. A good
method on protecting plants is by set
ing common roofing single or a
small piece of board at an angle over
each plant. These shingles can be set
on the side to protect the plant from
the sun during the daytime, or they
may be placed on the opposite side
ID order TO protect the plants from
the wind and allow the sunshine to
reach them.
Small Frames Protect.
In some cases gardeners have pro-
vIded small frames, on the top of
which are fitted single panes of glass,
and one of these frames is set over
each plant or hill to protect it. The
glass should be so arranged that it can
be partially removed during the warm
er part Of the day in order to prevent
the temperature becoming too high in
SIC@ the frame. These protectors give
good results when used over hills of
cucumbers, eantaloupes and summer
squashes as well as over plants of
sweet peppers. eggplant and tomatoes.
