MORE MONEY FOR
STATE EMPLOYEES

Representative Lytle, of Medina
county, introduced bill in the legis-
lature, passed under suspension of
the rules, appropriating $364,O00 for
paying increased salaries of state en-
ployees. It was explained that the
official bill drawn in drafting the
original appropriation measure had
made mistake in his figures and
that %2S, 900, the increased pay for a
year, had been entered as the appro-
priation for eighteen months, leaving
the fund for the salaries of the en-
ployees $364,000 short.

NITRATE OF SODA WILL
IMPROVE POOR WHEAT

Wheat fields that have come thru
the winter rather poorly, especially
if those fields did not receive an ap-
plication of manure last fall, will pro-
badly be greatly benefited by an ap-
plication of so pounds of nitrate of
soda per acre.
The nitrate should be. broadcast
over the wheat during April. If a
farmer has not already done SO, he
should place his order at once if he ex
poets to have material on hand when
it is to be used.

DO BRUTES' SPIRITS RETURN?
Abundance of Testimony Seeming to
Prove That Ghosts Of Animals
Have Been Seen.

With such quantities of spirits run
ming around loose, why not few rep
resenting departed animals?
There is plenty of testimony indors-
ing animal ghosts. In India there are
ghost elephants and ghost tigers that
haunt the jungle. And natives of that
country are restrained from abusing
onimals by a belief that the phantom
of any mistreated creature will sure
Iy come back tc bring misfortune TO
the offender.
Andrew Lang quotes well-known
naval officer as speaking of an occa-
sion when the latter was visiting at
the country house of a friend and a
well-known bark was heard outside the
door of the room where the two men
sat.
"Why, there's old Peter" said the
officer.
'lPeter died since you were here
last" replied his friend.
A fox terrier that was in the room
whined and trembled violently. The
door was pushed open and the pad-pad
of a big dogs feet on the floor was
heard. No dog was seen, but the IL
visible ghost of one walked to the
hearthrug. shook itself and then flung
itself heavily down. the Jingle of its
collar being distinctly audible.

CITY HAS NO RUNNING WATER
vIadivostok, Political Capital Of the
Far East, Lacks What Ameri-
cans Consider Essential.

A city with some $4,000 inhab-
itants and no running water--sueh is
Vladivostok, as described by Phil Nor
ton In the columns of Travel. Nor
is this lack of an everyday convenience
made less pressing by the fact that
Vladivostok jumped from a popula-
ton of about 10000 people without
adding to the number of houses. The
Manchu water vender. with his logs
head mounted on two wheels and
drawn by sturdy. thick-coated Sibe-
rian horses. takes the place of pipes
and faucets, filling his hogshead at
shallow well In some private or pub
lie yard. and retailing the commodity
at the rate of two buckets a day for
a month. for about 81 in American
money. He carries the buckets at the
end of pole over his shoulder. If one
can manage to live in reasonable COM
fort I'm Vladivostok. a coolie boy can
be procured TO bring water to ones
room, and heat II in the kitchen. Or
again, If the water vender has failed
10 arrive. the coolie boy will gather
snow and melt il. and there is ones
morning bath. If one wants more gen.
erous abIution one goes to the public
baths; and If one wants a drink of
water one thoroughly boils the mer-
chandise of the water vender before
drinking it. And this city of the primi-
tive water supply is now the political
capital of, the far east.
