Bonus Bill to
 Become a Law
Memorial Introduced to Stop Trap Fishing in AlaSka-Women May Sit on Jurics.

Perhaps the most important meas ure to come up before the Territor- ial Legislature during the past week is the soldier bonus memorial intro duced by George A. Getchell of Jul neau. providing that eN-service men of Alaska be entitled to take up 16O acres of land in the Territory with ont any restrictions as to length of residence.
 An amendment has been proposed 10 the memorial placing restrictions as to whom the soldiers may dispose of their lands to. The memorial it. self was favorably reported on by the house committee. but some dis cussion arose yesterday over the amendment. The fear was express ed that land grabbers might get hold of the land to the detriment of the development of the country It is thought that the bill without the amendment will eventually pass the house.
 Another important piece of legis- lation was introduced in the House yesterday by Representative F. l.. Holt of the Second Division in his memorial for the total abOlishing of of trap fishing in Alaska. Mr. Holt in his memorial declares that traps are the greatest menace to the fish ing industry and that a large mum Der of the people of the North who are dependent upon fishing for their livelihood are seriously handicapped by the great number of traps that block the neighborhood of streams. The memorial also contains proyiS- ions for the control of the fishing in- dustry by a Territorial board and a more strict enforcement of the fish ing laws.
 A resolution introduced by Sena- tor Collins to test the validity of the Jones Shipping Bill as it effects Alaskan coastwise trade has passed and the law will soon be tested by the attorney general.
 The sum of S4.50o was voted 10 the Pioneers Home as deficiency appropriation and word was also re ceived that the army boat Peterson would leave Juneau for Sitka with a joint legislative committee to inspect the Pioneers Home.
 The appropriation bill for $+l,- 900 for the support Of the school of mines and agriculture at Fairbanks has been reported upon favorabIy by the committee of the house and it is thought it will be passed with out opposition.
 The Collins bill. to make women eligible for jury dhty in Alaska, seems to be assured of passage al this session. having been reported ravorably upon.

Tony had dropped ,o thc floor Nog that little Caroline had been found, she could no longer be a Pendehaven daughter. Edith went to her and knelt beside her.
 "Here she is, sir" she said in husky tones, lifting fearful face to the men, "and you couldn't have q finer girl in the world. I alnt goIn' to say for you to forgive Inc, sir but you've had Ter over two years! Now, gimme Uriah, and we'll gO."
 Tony threw her arms around Edlth's neck. What q change two minutes and few words had made! She seemed to have taEcp on q new dig nity as, with shining eyes, she said to Paul Pendehaven:
 Father, darling, whatever 1t was that separated Us, I want, oh. how [ want to do something for the only mother I've ever known"
 Of course, Doctor Paul consented; he even did more. He got a promise from the confused UEah that he'd turn his back on the old days and old ways, and begin again with such aid as the PeGdIehavens would give him.
 While Doctor Paul was settling the fate of the DeyoDs, John Pendlnhayen had been sizing mp the Curtis family. They were grouped together, clingins to each other.
 Reggie" he ciacuIatcd, "I reckon you did q good job when you stopped Devon with q bullet last night. As for you, Sarah, yoa and your children aren't safe to have in the house. Here :" He stretched fortk his hand and offered the hve thousand dollars to her "Hcrc's Four money. Now go, and take Reggie HuG Katherine with you."
 Mrs. Curtis was so utterly overcome that she could do nothing but sob, but Katherine took lhe h.us from the doc tors hand and turned to he: brother "COme on. Ergc." she mui;rrod. "uelp me get her out of this. We better go" She piHchcd her mothers arm spiyerulIy. "Grt up, mother. Quit that crying, aul come on"
 The other, watched them leave the room. and thcn Mrs. Devon spoke up:
 "Werc next, E.aa! And we're ever lasungly grateful 10 you, Doctor Paul, and you, Doctor John, for lcttin' Us go. Ain't we, Riah"
 Devon straIgh,rnod up from n!s chair and grinnrd >heepish'y.
 "Ehat We be-" he agreed, and I'll try to show it."
 That evening when Tonnibcl and Philip were alone together, the young man said chokin-.y, "You don't for a moment imagine I ever believed you did that thing, darling? 1 wert away because I thought you didn't love me any more ihaJ ya never had loved me. You don't rI,ak-auy other way:'

Uurus cIaImeu the. IpUney, ner cUnnec- tlon with him would come out, and that might make things easier for him. If she didn't, he'd have the cash any how.
 "That's mine mister" he grunted, land I didn't steal 1t, neither. Giye0lt to me-"
 The same considerations had been chasing through Mrs. Curtis mind and, in the general cataclysm that she saw before her, she concluded the money might be very necessary for her and her children. Don't let him have It, JOhn," she screamed. Its mine. Give 1t to me"
 Doctor John arose and stood be- tween Uriah and Mrs. Curtis, holding the roll of bills fin his hand. Amidst the closest attention of the rest of the group, he looked from one to the other, while the claimants indulged in dis pute.
 You give 1t to me, didn't you, ma'am?" asked Uriah, roughly. Didn't you?"
 "Yes, I suppose I did" she acknOwl- edged, but you haven't done what you said you would"
 "'Twasnt my fault" Uriah grum- bled. If that fool of a son of yours hadn't butted in and shot me, I'd talk en Tony like l bargalned to-"
 Then Doctor Paul JnterpOsed, and few questions, sternly put and cate gorlcally answered, discovered the whole conspiracy between Mrs. Curtis, her children, and Uriah Devon.
 John Pendlehaven. whose anger had been steadily rising, suddenly stepped forward and brushed his brother aside.
 "Pll take charge of this now, Paul." he stated. You're too d-d easy. Here's where you treacherOus snakes go to jall," he included Uriah and the Curtises In a sweep of his hand. "Ev- cry one of you" He turned sayagely upon Reginald. You little pup" he charged swiftly, "you tried to poison Paul, didn't you?" He crossed to his side and lowered over him with up- raised fist. "Own up, d-n you. Didn't you?"
 Reginald covered slipped ont of his chair and attempted to shield himself In Mrs. Curtis arms, who leaned pro tectIngly over him.
 T-I was drunk" he excused him self, "and I thought" he whimpered to his mother, q thought you wanted me to-"
 Then Edith projected herself into the excitement again. She glanced at Uriah, her eyes melting with tender ness, arose and stood looking at the Pendlehayen brothers.
 MT. Paul." she said in. low voice, don't you remember me-"
 Paul looked her over with no sign of recognition, and his brother turned away from Reginald to observe this new development.
 "NO," said Paulp and he shook his head.
 "Never mind! That don't mattcr! was the reply, but I'll make dickcr with you. You give me my man for keeps, and I'll give you your girl, Caroline. I'm Edith iindil"
 You could have heard pin drop, so deep was the silence. All were look ing at the haggard woman, facing Paul Pendlehaven, who was rising un$tcad- fly.
 Give me my man," she repeated. Don't send i'm to jail, and I'll give you your girl"

Edith advanced to the middle of the room, holding the little bag 7 in her hand. looking first at Doctor John, who tried uusuccrsSfuIly to recall where he had seen her, and then at Doctor Paul.
 "Wherc's my man, my Uriah?' she asked hoursriy and then Doctor John recognized hrr and rose to his feet. You got any husband here with d bit Of lead in im," went Vn EditL, mo- nogonoasIy. e. want to see i'm; want 10 take i'm back 10 the boat"

SIDE APPLICATION
OF FERTILIZERS
FERTILIZERS ARE CHEAP
AGAIN.
Practice of Side Application Will
Be Extensively Followed
This Year.

Atlanta, Ca, April.-Reports receiv'
ed from fertilizer companies indicate
that the Southern farmer fell good
deal short Of using as much fertilizers
at planting time this year as usual. Sew
eral reasons are assigned. One Is that
the farmers waited for the price OF
fertilizers to fall with the expectation
Of using them in greater quantities
than the usual amount as side applica,
tions to the growing crops.
1t seems that the practice of side ap.
plication Of fertilizers is quite common.
ly followed by successful Southern
farmers. In fact, the Williamson meth.
cd of growing corn that is popular In
the coastal plains region Of the South,
provides that no fertilizer be applied
except as side applications to the corn
crop.
On the question Of side applications
of fertilizers, J. N. Harper, director of
the Soil improvement Committee and
recognized authority on agricultural
methods OF the South, says, that there
are more than the usual advantages
this year in favor Of side applications.
The reason is apparently favorable to
giving good response to fertilizers.
A word OF caution is, however, sound.
ed by Mr.. Harper. He says that the
side applications should be made early.
Late applications to cotton will only
prolong the growth Of the plant and
favor the boil weevil. He says that
1t will be better to make both the side
applications of complete fertilizers and
the nitrogen top dressing within six
weeks after planting. where the boil
weevil Is present.
For corn, he states that side applica-
tions are quite generally made too late
to get the best results. On clay loan
or heavy soils he advises a side appli-
cation and nitrogen dressing when tho
corn is from knee to waist high. For
sandy or light soils, he says that side
applications can be made later, that 10,
when the corn Is waist to shoulder
high, but before it begins to bunch to
tassel.
Mr.. Harper says that care must be
taken to use only readily available
forms Of fertilizer SO that the growing
plants can utilize them In promoting
rapid growth and development Of fruit.
The fertilizer should contain phos-
phoric acid in the form of acid phos-
phate. This is the main element for
fastening maturity. The fertilizer
should also contain nitrogen and potash
In the readily available form. Nitrogen
promotes the growth Of the stalk and
leaves and potash strengthens the plant
and helps fill out the fruit.
A top dressing Of sulfate Of ammonia
or nitrate Of soda is quite commonly
made and, according to Mr.. Harper, Il
should follow closely after the second
application of fertilizer, and within the
periods Of cotton and corn growth
which he mentions above.

AVOID MISTAKES IN
POISONING BOIL WEEvl1
WeevlIs Can ee Poisoned With
Profit.

The United States Department OF
Agriculture, through its boil weevil
experts, Profs. B. R. Coad and r. P.
Cassidy, have issued statement, .
part Of which is entitled Where II
VIII Pay You to Poison This part
Is as follows:
1t will pay to poison
II the weevils are really injuring
your crop seriously, and
II your land Is sufficiently fertile
to yield at least one-half bale per acre
with weevil injury eliminated, and
II your farming organization Is such
that you feel assured that the poison
applications will be made at the right
time and in the right manner, and
II you are willing to spend the full
amount necessary to provide an ade.
quate supply Of busting machinery and
poison.
The general gains from weevil poi
soning under average, fairly favorable
conditions seem to be from 200 to 400
pounds Of seed cotton per acre, but.
owing to variations in degree Of wee.
vii injury It is not safe to expect much
more than the lower figure.
Consequently, you should not poi.
son il the cost Of the calcium arse.
nate, the cost Of labor to apply 1t.
and the depreciation on the busting
machines will total more per acre
than the current value Of 100 pounds
of seed cotton.
Hand guns should be figured as de-
preciating 100 per cent in a season and
the larger machines about rs per cent.
Do It Right Or Not At All
Many valuable lessons have been
gained from the recent expension Of
commercial weevil poisoning. It has
again been shown that the boil wee.
vii can be poisoned with profit II con-
ditions are favorable and II proper
methods are used, but 1t has been EN-.
phasized anew that unfavorable condi.
tions and improper methods can lead
only to failure. A survey Of the pol
soning by farmers in 1920 shows that
an unfortunately large proportion were
not properly informed as to the condt.
tions under which they should poison
and Ne methods they should pursue.
As . result there were many unneeeG
Sary failures.
