paragus always has a better favor
than blanched, is more easily produced,
and is more satisfactory for home use.
Too heavy mulching has tendency to
retard the growth of the shoots by
keeping the ground cold until late in
the spring.
No shoots should be removed the
first year the plants are set In the
permanent bed, and the period of cut
ting should be short the second year.
After the second year the plants be-
come well established, and with proper
fertilizing and care the bed will last
indefinitely. During the cutting sea-
son all the shoots should be removed,
as the roots will cease to throw up
shoots as soon as one Is allowed to ma
ture.

SHRUBS YOU WILL LIKE

Home builders who are plan
ming to plant shrubbery on their
lawns will find 1t worth while to
make u study of shrubs. Set out
shrubs that you will not tire of
in a few years. 1t pays to take
your time In selecting. To select
plants intelligently careful
study should be made of the
lawn, soil, position of buildings,
walks, drives, bodies of water,
the surrounding area, and adja-
cent buildings. Evergreens will
not thrive In smoke zones of
cities or near factories.

CABBAGE CROP
TO BE BUMPER
Big Cabbage Crop is Elk
pected by Growers in
This Section.
NONE FLOWED UNDER

Numerous reports have been sent
broadcast throughout Wisconsin that
Racine and Kenosha county farmers
would pillow under hundreds of tons of
cabbage. 1t is claimed by the largest
cabbage buyers in this section that
the stories with reference to the dis
position Of the cabbage crop are not
true.
A representative of the Racine Jour
Mathews made trip through por-
ton of the cabbage belt. 1t was as
certained that growers of the early
cabbage for kraut factories generally
make contracts with the companies
and the contract price for the season
was Sc and 81 ton up to the limit of
Is tons per acre, this being the guam
tity which the kraut manufacturers
estimated they could handle from the
acreage under contract
Paying Record Prices.
The manufacturers, it is said, lived
up to the contracts, paying 500 an
acre for the crop and in many cases,
where the crop exceeded the 15-ton-
per-acre limit, they paid market prices
for all in excess of that Quantity.
Further, it is said, growers who re-
fused to make contracts were out of
luck this season of high tonnage
per acre, but so far as known there
has not been any cabbage plowed I'M
der to date.
Charles Crueziger, of the Corliss
Supply company, one of the largest
cabbage buyers in southern Wiscon-
sin, when seen, said:
None to be Plowed Under.
"Of course there is very big crop
of cabbage, there being probably twice
the acreage there was last year. There
is shortage of cars for shipping the
cabbage and if sufficient cars can be
procured, do not believe that sin
gle acre of cabbage will be plowed
under. Domestic cabbage is now be-
ing sold at 81 ton and Holland cab
bage at Sc, with no prospects of an in
crease. Naturally, if the cabbage rip
ems too fast it is lost"
F. M. Miller, of Corliss, another
large cabbage buyer, said that the
crop of cabbage is so per cent larger
than it was last season. So far as he
knows there has not been ton Of
cabbage plowed under.

GET MILLIONS OF
TONS OF HARD COAL
Two Million Tons Have Been Allotted
to Wisconsin for Winter
Supply.

Madison, Wis.-Allotment of between
100000 and 100000 tons Of hard
coal has been made to Wisconsin, P.
H, Pressentin, secretary of the state
fuel committee was informed today.
Shipment of the first of this supply
will be made early next week.
Arrival of 100000 tons of anthra-
cite before the shipping season closes
will assure Wisconsin householders of
coal for their furnaces this winter,
according to the fuel committee
While this amount represents only 60
per cent of the normal consumption,
holdover supplies and conservation,
measures, the committee feels, will
make up the deficiency.
With hard coal supplies assured the
fuel situation lin Wisconsin takes on
brighter aspect. Shipments of soft
coal have risen to over 100000 tons
week, bringing estimates that 12,-
100000 tons will be received at lake
ports before shipping season closes.
These receipts of soft coal will more
than meet the demands, according to
Mr.. Pressentin, who says that the
principal problem will now be to dis
tribute the hard coal and to convince
people that hey must conserve in its
consumption.

ARTHUR LEACH
ASKS DAMAGES
Sues Gas & Electric Co.
for $4,000 Alleging Per-
sonal Injury.
HURT TWO YEARS AGO

Arthur E. Leach, through his at
torney, Robert Verne Baker, has filed
a suit in the circuit court demanding
damages of $4,000 from the Wisconsin
Gas & Electric company. The suit for
damages is based on an accident on
the Sheridan Road on November 7th,
1920. In the accident Leach suffered
fracture of the leg and severe bruises
and he claims in his suit for damages
that the injury was permanent one.
He asserts that his injury was caus-
ed by the negligence of the agents Of
the defendant company in the opera
ton of an automobile along the road.
The case is noticed for trial at the
coming October term of the circuit
court.
Had Stopped to Repair Car.
In his complaint Leach asserts that
on the day of the accident he had been
driving between Racine and Kenosha
and had stopped along the road to re-
pair his automobile. He alleges that
he was engaged in making the repairs
on the automobile when he was struck
by an automobile driven by agents of
the defendant company. He declares
that lack of care on the part of the
employees of the company was the
cause of the accident. The company
has not filed any formal answer to the
complaint for damages

Sweden Survives
Post War Crisis
(By Associated Press.)

Stockholm-That Sweden has defn-
itely survived the postwar crisis, and
is one of the first nations in Europe
to show natural and consistent re-
covery, appears from the monthly
report on the foreign trade of this
country during June, which has just
been issued.
The export of timber and sawn
wood, a staple commodity, has grown
SO rapidly that the volume is now 81
per cent of the peace-time figures. At
the end of June the timber sales were
close to 100000 standards, which is
considerably more than half of the
normal yearly output. The export of
matches is 95 per cent of the pre-war
normal, and it is encouraging that
the export of iron ore has even sur
passed pre-war figures by three per
cent. AS regards wood pulp and
paper, which America buys from Swe-
den in large quantities, the figures for
the month exceed the 1913 figures for
the corresponding month by IS to 72
per cent. Incidentally it is reported
that one reason why the quotations
on sulphite pulp are high is the in
creased demand from the United
States for the manufacture of arti-
fetal silk. News print, which is
shipped in great volume to America,
shows an export figure 72 per cent
above that of 1918.
In the line of manufactured indus
trial products the quantity of cleo
trical machines and apparatus, ball
bearings, and telephones is nearly
three times that of June, 1918. Cream
separators and motors have risen to
SO per cent of the pre-war figure.
A similar indication of prosperity
is seen in the increased imports of
raw material needed for Swedish in
dustries. American dealers in copper
will be interested to know that Swe-
denis imports of that metal have
reached "a per cent of the pre-war
figure.

Modern Inventions
to Develop Alaska
(By Associated Pressl

Anchorage, Alaska Remote sec
tions of Alaska, weeks and months
away from the railroad under the old
transportation methods, are being
brought closer to the seaports and
railroad towns by the airplane and
tractor.
Two sections of Alaska, the Iditarod
and the great Kuskokwim country,
reached from here in the winter only
after a fifteen days trip with a dog
team, can be made in two or three
days by airplane.
The tractors part in the revolution
of transportation methods comes in
hauling ore and coal from the mines
to the railroads. The army-type cat
erpillar tractor, dragging from 20 to
so tons, breaks it's own trail over the
snow and is rapidly taking the place
of the horse in many places.
Sections of the far away Alaska
peninsula and Aleutian islands with
their oil possibilities, are soon to be
prospected by airplane for a group of
Anchorage business men. The ma
chine will be of the dydroplane type
and will alight in the rivers, bays and
lakes for shore work.
One aviator, C. o. Hammontree, is
considering establishing a chain of
stations in the interior to which he
can carry supplies by the air route.
At present the prospectors on the Gin
side" generally spend their spring
months hauling their supplies in over
the snow trails. Hammontree's plan
is to carry supplies to established
posts and thus save the prospectors
the heavy task of pulling their food
and equipment over the snow. The
stations would be on the lakes or riv-
ers so the plane could light on the
water.

Birds Fly 5000
Miles for Home
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, D. Glow far will a
migratory bird travel in its fall and
spring flights? The Biological Survey
has determined that they make fights
OF at least 5000 miles.
An investigation has been conducted
for several years by the survey by
trapping ducks and other strong wing
ed fowl in northern sections, and
marking them with light bands bear
ing a serial number and the legend,
"Biol. Surv., Wash. D. c." The num-
bers on the fowl are recorded and
from time to time, hunters bagging
some of those marked, report where
and when the bird was brought down.
More than two hundred such birds
were loosed with the bands from Lake
Scugog, in Ontario, about twenty
miles north of Toronto, and many re-
ports have been received. So far, the
record fight is that of blue winged
tail, banded September "a, 1920, and
killed two months and seven days
later in a swamp near Port of Spain,
on the Island of Trinidad. The short
est possible fight the bird could
have taken to reach this point, which
is off the coast of Venezuela, is three
thousand miles.
In tracing their routes it seemed
apparent that the mallards and black
duck travelled together and their
course from axe Scugog was south
ward along the shores of Lake Erie
by way of the St. Clair flats. Here the
route divided, the majority continuing
southwest, crossing the Ohio, and
then to the Mississippi Valley where
the majority wintered.
The others took a southeasterly
route, crossing the Alleghenies and
reaching the Atlantic coast by way of
Chesapeake and Delaware Bays. None
of the banded birds were taken.

Attorneys for Mccoy Who
Suffered Terrible In
jury File Notice.
CLAIM ROAD DEFECTIVE
Do Not State Amount of DAM
ages to Be Asked but Early
Suit in Court Expected.

Kenosha county is to be asked to pay
for the terrible injury of Robert Nc
Coy, an eight-year-old Burlington boy
who was crippled for life on August
10Th last when he was caught under
an overturned truck on the Burlington
road in the town of Brighton A form
al notice that the boy will claim F'satis-
faction" from Kenosha county has been
filed with the county clerk by Attorney
Joseph D. Hennessey of Milwaukee, his
attorney. The formal claim for dam
age does not name any amount, but it
Is understood that this notice has been
filed with view of paving the way
for suits against Kenosha county in
which heavy damages will be claimed.
1t was regarded as a miracle that the
boy survived his terrible injury and
it is certain that the attorneys repre-
senting him will make very large
demand on the county for damages.
Assert Highway Defective
In the formal notice of the claim the
attorneys for the boy declare that the
highway was defective. 1t was asserted
that the overturning of the truck and
the subsequent injury of the Mccoy
boy was due to the fact that there was
a bad depression in the road. The road
is County Trunk Highway A and it is
not under the control of the state, but
the county. 1t was patroled road and
has been in excellent condition during
the summer months. 1t was consid-
cred in good condition on the day that
the boy met his injuries.
Investigations of the accident which
have been made by the county officials
are declared to indicate that the ele
ment of contributory negligence will
enter largely into the trial of the case.
1t is believed that the action for dam
ages will be filed in time to have it
come up for trial at the October term
of the circuit court.
On Visit When Injured.
The Mccoy boy was on a visit to
relatives in Kenosha county when the
accident happened. He had gone to
ride on truck driven by John Terhost
of Burlington. Terhost, driving along
the Burlington road, had turned out to
pass truck and it is the allegations
of the attorneys that in coming back
onto the road, the truck struck some
loose gravel and turned over. It is the
contention of the county officials that
the Mccoy boy was sitting on the door
of the truck with his feet on the run
ming board. They declare that two
other boys were with the driver on the
truck. When the truck turned over.
the Mccoy boy was caught under it
in such way that his right arm was
severed at the shoulder. The com
plant for damages declares that in
addition to the loss of his arm he
suffered a fracture of the skull and
severe body bruises.
The claim is the first big claim to
be presented against Kenosha county
for damages for injuries received on
an alleged defective highway. All in
formation in regard to the accident
has been gathered by the county and I
it is understood that a vigorous de-
tense will be made to the suit.

PatrOlman LaPoint Saves
George Thome from
Terrible Fate.
HEARS LADS SCREAMS
PatrOlman Leaps Over Fence
and Arrives Just in Time
to Save Lad.

Alertness on the part of Patrolman
Edward LaPoint prevented a tragedy
on Sunday afternoon just before five
o'clock when he rescued five year old
George Thome from being buried
alive when he pulled the child out of
a sunken well into which he had
fallen while playing in the yard of
the home at 4O3 Market street.
The patrolman arrived in time to
join in a search for the child, who
had strangely dropped out of sight and
it was through his work that the lad
was pulled out of the sand and dirt
into which he had sunk by reason of
his struggles. Thew was an aban-
doned one which had been filled up
years ago but which had suddenly
sunk again. The long grass had grown
up over it and this had prevented
anyone seeing that the ground had
given way.
Child Screams for Help.
The child was in the yard playing
with his toy automobile. His mother
heard him scream and ran out of the
house but could find the child nowhere.
Meanwhile Policeman LaPoint was
hurrying to Prairie and Sheridan road
to report as traffic policeman. AS he
passed the Thome home he heard
childs' voice, apparently coming out
Of the ground. It continued to be-
cOy,oo uaoIxar ouJ 1yooI,or Doo1;r;-r.
the situation the patrolman hurried to
the place from which the cries came.
There he saw the child already buried
almost waist deep in the sand.
Rescues Lad from Well.
The patrolman, having long arms,
was barely able to reach the child by
leaning over into the sunken we'll.
While others went for a rope he
reached down and rescued the boy.
Mrs. George Thome, the lads mother,
rejoicing over the rescue of the child
tried to reward the officer with money
at the time but the latter insisted
that the work was merely in the line
of duty and hurried on to his other
post of duty, refusing even to state
his name. He did not report the in
cident at the police Office but it be-
came known when Mrs. Thome
brought reward in gold to him there
this morning.
Chief of Police Thad Logan in the
daily bulletin commended Patrolman
LaPoint for his alertness and efficient
work in rescuing the lad from death.
