MORE ABOUT THE BACKWATER

In conversation with Squire Thos.
Hubbard Wednesday about the back
water, we learn that he and Arthur
lVermillion took up this matter with
Judge Robson some years ago. At
that time Judge Robson stated that
if the gentlemen would get an esti-
mate made of the probable cost of
the work he, Judge Robson, would
see what could be done the matter
at Washington.
Both men We're busy and failed to
do more than TO satisfy themselves
that the feat is feasible and that the
work could be done for 100000
with what help the water itself will
give in excavating.
Mr.. Hubbard suggests that the
overflow channel should begin at the
gap near John Turner's and jeff Can
ady' places and again Join the river
at Frank Hawn's place.
Mr.. Hubbard suggests that our
citizens should call a meeting and
see what can be done toward doing
away with this detriment to pro-
gress and growth. There is no cues
tion that the growth of the town is
being retarded by the fact that most
OF the property is subject to over
How and if ii could be done away
with we should get into a stride of
growth that would surprise even the
most sangulne.
II our people will show their good
faith by their works it would seem
that our energetic Congressman and
Senator should be able to get an
appropriation to help put the work
thru. Let those who are interested
tell us they are for it and let us
call the meeting suggested.
Mr.. Hubbard says he is ready to
put $1,000 toward the work. Others
have expressed their intention to pay
like amount. Why not let's go?
Good intentions alone do not pave
the way to any place but the Meth
ermost pit.
Progress means life, stagnation

RED CROSS PROGRAM

Under the direction of the Red
Cross nurse, Miss Jump, the class
she has been conducting among the
colored people, put on a very credi-
table program at the Court House a
week ago Saturday. This program
consisted of several little playetts
all illustrating the work of the COM
munity nurse. The lessons were well
brought out in each case. Some OF
the boys and girls formed a chorus
which could sing. A group of boys
sang the following parody on THE
Old Oaken Bucket"
With what anguish of mind re-
member my childhood,
Recalled in the light of q knowledge
since gained;
The malarial farm, the wet, fungus
grown wild wood,
The chills there contracted that since
have remained;
The scum covered duck pond, the
pig-sty close by it,
The place where the sour smelling
house drainage fell;
The house of my father, the barn
yard just nigh it,
But worse than all else was that
horrible smell.
Chorus
The old oaken bucket,
The iron bound bucket,
The moss covered bucket
That hung in the we'll.

Ere I learned that professors all
scientists gifted,
In water of wells by analysis finds
The rotten wood fibre, the oxide of
iron,
The algae and toads of unusual size;
The water, impure as the verses of
Brian,
Are things 1 remember with tears
In my eyes.
How little l thought of the typhoid
fever,
That lurked in the water ventured

But since I've become a devoted be-

In teachings of science, shudder to

And afterwards distilling, condensed

STRAWBERRY TIPS

We have prevailed on Mr.. w. 4.

of trawberries. to write the article
below on the subject of their culture
The Advocate has been hammer
ing on this subject for two years
Several men will grow from one to
two acres of strawberries this year

Kentucky will be found elsewhere

cream of the business.

Having received several inquiries
concerning the culture of straw
berries which have not the time to
answer individually. I have conclud-
ed to use these columns--thru the
courtesy of the publisher-for the
Information of anyone desiring to
use it.
Strawberries should be planted in
this locality during April and May.
The soil should be well titled and
the plants set in rows three feet
apart and eighteen inches in the row
In planting use a dibble. a fiat, thin
instrument Of wood or metal. about
two inches wide and one foot long
Push it in the ground with the right
hand to make the opening, slanting
it forward Take the plants in the
left hand between the first and Sec
ond finger and the thumb and twist
it so as to spread the roots in fan
like shape and put it in the opening
behind the dibble which is then with
drawn and the soil pressed firmly
around the roots, being careful not
to cover the crown, as that would
smother the plant. If the roots
should be long and straggly cut the
ends square across with a pair of
shears
Keep the ground clean. Shallow
cultivation should be given every
ten days or two weeks. During the
growing season runners and blooms
will appear on all healthy growing
plants but these should be pinched
off in order that the entire vigor
may be given toward forming the
crown for the coming seasons crop.
After September 18th they may be
allowed to run and young plants will
form on each runner joint before
old plants become dormant in the
fall. and these can be used for
new setting during the following
spring
In sections where the winters are
severe the plants must be mulched,
covering them with coarse litter or
straw, but in this locality the litter
need only be placed between the
rows near the plants, not over them,
unless the weather should prove ex-
ceptionally severe. This litter should
be left on until after TIE plants are
done bearing, as it keeps them free
from grit and also retards the
growth of weeds.
Put out new plants each spring
so as to have one full crop coming
each year. The old plants may be
allowed to mat in a solid bed or in
rows of about eighteen inches with

Politics Is Made. tf

Brooklyn and probably had been delayed
by subway tie up.
But instead voice on the other end
of the wire, the voice OF Mrs. Clara
Smith, supervisor OF nurses, according
to Mr.. Beers. told him that the nurses
were not going to the luncheon at all--that
they decided not to go because one or
two OF the eleven were not feeling well
and didn't want to make the trip.
Mr.. Beers thereupon addressed the
diners and their guests. He said that
the nurses had not come to the luncheon
ana the theatre party because they were
not permitted TO do so by the hospital
authorities. And the reason why the
authorities acted, he said, was that he.
the president OF the league, was en-
pfoyed by an evening newspaper that
had published articles strongly CRITICS
ing conditions at the institution. He
told his hearers that he trusted the Fox
Hills Hospital would be investigated.
At the hospital last night both ply
sictans and nurses in charge OF the dis
abled war nurses said that there was no
interference with the trip to Brooklyn
and that as matter of fact transporta-
tion had been provided by the hospital
to carry the nurses to the ferry. A
nurse who said her name was Smith and
who identified herself as one of the
eleven who were to have gone to Brook
lyn. confirmed the statement. She said
two of the eleven were not able TO make
the trim. -.

last night characterized the new Federal
restrictions OBTAINING all arrivals there
as absolutely unnecessary, improper
and unreasonable" in so far as they are
to be applied to first cabin passengers.
1t might be deemed unnecessary also as
regards second cabin passengers. he
said. provided proper supervision Is taken
on the voyage across that they do not
come in contact with the steerage.
Detention or 'delousing' OF first cabin
passengers has no justification for a
number Of reasons" he said. They are
an entirely different class of travellers.
They VISIT different places, healthful
places, and most certainly do not go to
places where they know infectious dis
eases are prevalent. Their environment
on board snip is different, their personal
hygiene is high. In fifteen years I don't
remember finding more than two or
three cases of infectious disease among
cabin passengers
"The proposed detention OF cabin pas
sengers is not only unfair to them, but
Injuries commerce and shipping and
alienates public cooperation in disease
prevention. Are Ambassadors and other
big men of affairs to be held up five or
six days? Exceptions will be sought and
If they arc granted then the regulation
is not necessary. Furthermore, IL Is inn
possible to procure 100 per cent. safety
against the entrance Of infectious dis
eases.

of the disease itself to an individual, but
know there is no danger OF an OUT
break going beyond the hold OF the

CHARLES E. HUGHES AT BAR.
Argues Before Supreme Court ir
DelehaRty's Contest.

Dciehauty SOnteAt.
Charles Evans Hughes argued before
the Appellate Division Of the Supreme
Court yesterday the appeal Of James A.
Defehanty from the verdict of the lower
court that he was not entitled to GER
tificate OF election as Judge Of General
Sessions In 1916. Judge John F. McIn-
tyre. his successful opponent, was rep
resented by John Godfrey SAKE. Herbert
r. Limberg and Henry G. Seipp. Attor-
ney General Charles D. Newton repre-
scnted the State.
The official canvass in 1916 showed
1o9,709 votes for Mcintyre and 10S,Ss3
for Delehanty. On the recount proceed
ings in the Supreme Court the election
OF ,Delehanty was Indicated by S26votcs
Counsel for Mcintyre at that time ar
gued there werc evidences that the bai
lots had been tampered with, and the
justice charged the jury they should
convince themselves that the ballots
were in their original condition. They
decided for Mcintyre.
Yesterday Mr.. Hughes said it was abb
surd to say the ballots had been tam
pered with, and the court on the face OF
the returns Of the recount should have
ordered a certificate Of election given
to Mr.. Delehanty. Decision was re-.
served.
