KHAN UNDER FIRE
IN MASS MEETING
Religious Intolerance Charged
by Speakers.

Attacks on the Ku-Klux Khan and
what was termed religious intolerance
marked the st. Patrick's day mass
meeting in Tomlinson Hall Saturday
afternoon.
Fire Chief O'Brien, who presided, de-
clared those who speak of 100 per cent
Americanism are not over 10 per cent
Americans.
He introduced Robert E. Proctor of
Elkhart, former State Senator, who
spoke against intolerance. He has
pledged his life to a fight for religious
freedom.
Patrick H. O'Donneu of Chicago
said American freedom is based on the
creed or religious tolerance, freedom of
conscience, equality under the law and
severance Of the church from the
state.
The days celebration ended with a
social program at Tomlinson Hall at
night.

is to apply two or three inches of coal
ashes from which all the clinkers and
coarser materials have been sifted,
and mixing this with the soil to a
depth Of six or seven inches.
An application of lime at the rate
of fifty to eighty pounds on a space
| twenty by sixty feet in size will also
help to loosen the soil. This should
be done in the spring while the land
is being fitted for planting.
Well decayed or composted stable
manure is by far the most important
factor in improving or retaining
soils of this character. A large two

Of the ordinary backyard will not be
any too much, and this may be put
on at any time during the fall or
spring, but should be well mixed with
the soil itself.
AS time goes on and crops are
grown upon the backyard soil, the
roots of these crops and organic mat
ter and then from time to time weeds
can be chopped fine and worked into
the soil to add organic matter.
1t is also a good plan to SOW rye
barley or some similar crop on the
garden during the late summer and
allow 1t to remain as a cover crop all
winter, spading under the crop early
in the spring for the purpose Of i'm
proving the soil.

HOW TO PREPARE BACK
YARD FOR HOME GARDEN

connection can be made to the sewer
that drains the house and that takes
care Of the water from the roof of the
dwelling.
This connection is often in the form
of surface or sink drain in the back
yard near the kitchen door.
In case there Is such an opening,
lines of ordinary open-joint tiles may
be laid at intervals of every seven or
eight feet and at a depth Of eighteen
to thirty inches, with a decided fall
toward the point where they connect
to the main drain, and these will draw
the surplus water the soil, getting rid
of it in the sewer.
Another method Of securing drain
age, one that may be used where it
is impossible to secure an outlet for
tile drains, is to throw the soil up
in beds, leaving drainage burrows be-
tween the beds, these burrows empty
ing into a ditch at one end of the
garden and the water being carried to
some lower level.
The meer raising of the soil III beds,
even though there be no direct out
let for the intervening shallow bitches,
will be of considerable help.
The second problem in retaining
backyard soils will be to get the soil
in better mechanical condition.
This may be accomplished, first, by
loosening it up in the fall of the year
and leaving it thus exposed to the
freezing and thawing of the winter
months, as the alternate freezing and
thawing breaks up the bumps and soil
particles.
Using Coal Ashes

be used on extremely heavy clay soils,
