GARDEN FERTILITY.

No greater problem confronts the
gardener than that of getting fertility
into his soil and maintaining it, once
it is there. This problem is especially
serious for the purchaser of a new
home about which the soil has been
graded without any attention having
been paid to the nature of the soil
However, even the very worst types of
clay can, with diligence and fore
thought, be brought into fairly pro
ductive and workable condition in the
course of time. An attempt to estab-
Nsh a garden upon such soils without
preparation simply means loss of seed,
@ lot of hard work and disappointment.
Well rotted stable manure is I'M
doubtedly the best fertiliZing medium
for the garden No other material is
as capable of bringing clay soils into
good condition. A coating of B or 4
inches in depth of we'll rotted manure
applied any time between now and
Spring and spaded or plowed in as
soon as the soil is dry enough to
crumble when turned over would be
an ideal treatment, especially If sup
plemented with ground limestone at
the rate Of l pound per 10 square feet
and acid phosphate / pound per 100
square feet. Manure used at the
above rate is rather costly but would
insure a good garden the very first
season.
Unfortunately few will be able to
secure manure in the quantity recon-
mended, or perhaps not at all. In this
case. the lime should be applied as in
the first instance and reliance placed
on commercial fertilizer. Fortunately,
these are available to every one. and
are compa ratlvely much less expensive
than the barnyard manure. A garden
fertilizer should be rich in the three
principal food elements - nitrogen,
phosphorus and potash. Several of
the larger dealers about the city carry
fertilizer designed for market garden
ers. Being richer in food value than
the usual field fertilizer, these garden
brands are slightly more expensive, an
increase which is well warranted in
view of the more valuable contents.
Coal Ashes Help.
Such materials used at the rate of
l pound to 80 square feet scattered
broadcast before spading should give
fair results. AS opportunity occurs
be made to grow soiling crops such as
cowPeas, clovers, rye, etc, for spading
under. The use of such plants supple
mented by commercial fertilizer will
aid in keeping the garden productive
and gradually change the sticky soil
to more workable form.
Coal ashes from which the clinkers
have been separated will aid greatly
In subduing intractable clays, but add
practically nothing of food value to

Would Reincorp0rate Town and In
cIude RehobOth Heights

CIuQe RenODOLn helgnIS
Rehoboth is rapidly developing into
one of the most important cities in
this state according to statements
made to the Senate Friday morning
by Lieutenant Governor J. Hall An
derson in explaining bill to rein
corporate that town.
He reviewed a list Of improvements
that have been planned and which
are designed to make the resort more
attractive so that It NAV in a short
time take its place as one of the most
important and desirable seashore re-
sorts along the Atlantic Coast.
Under this new charter the section
known as Rehoboth Heights will be
taken into Rehoboth proper which
will mean an assessed valuation of

The bill creates a board of three as
SCISSORS to replace the one heretofore
holding this office. 1t equalizes the
rights of males and females so far as
voting power is concerned and it
changes the hours for holding town
elections from 1 to 5 o'clock instead
of II to o'clock.
1t gives the town the right to pass
ordinances regulating motor traffic
and it requires candidates for the
board of assessment to file their
names five days before election.
Governor Anderson said Rehoboth
now has a total assessment of ST.
847, 900 and with the addition of Re
hoboth Heights this will be increased
to close to $3,OOO.OOO, giving the re-
sort a greater assessment than any
town south of Wilmington except Do
yer.
It's total Indebtedness to date is
only $4,000. It has 719 miles of
water mains under 1917 miles of
streets but is in need of new streets
and a new water system and he re
ferred to bills now before the legis-
lature providing for bond issues to
take care of these improvements.
Draining and Dredging Lake
He was asked about MOSQUITOES
there and replied there is a man in
the resort who claims he never saw
a fly or mosquito in Rehoboth. He
said Irene dupont. at his own expense
is draining and dredging the lake
where the mosquitoes breed and will
dedicate it as a public park within
short time. The bill was passed.
The Senate passed Friday morning
the House bill increasing the gas tax
to three cents per gallon. 1t also
passed the bill to reincorDorate Del
mar, allowing it to extend its limits,
increasing the powers of the town
council and appropriating $500 an
nually to the fire company 1t also
provides $4,000 may be raised annual
ly by taxation without referendum.
The Senate passed the bill appropri-
ating $1,000 annually to the Agricul-
tural Fair Association in Wilmington.

Business Man
Advertising lowers the cost Of merchandising for
the that it increases turnover of merchandise.
merchant must turn over his goods several times
year enjoy profitable business. Goods the shelf
mean nothing until sold for they become shelf worn and
out Of date These unsod goods often represent huge
losses
Newspaper advertising is the merchants greatest
friend huge magnet which attracts people his store
And unless used regularly it sure to lose much of its
pulling power.
Nearly every merchant of the present day believes
in Advertising but many do not have the courage Of
their convictions to advertise consistently They do not
come to the point where appropriation is set aside
for regular use people believe they have saved
money by not using newspaper space Show us me1-
chant who consistent buyer of newspaper space who

Wrigley did not make millions O fivecent article
by keeping his commodity secret He spent his last
dollar his first advertisement it pulled and he
tnued to increase until today his product is known all
over the world. And it is just five-cent article
Doesn't merchant with hundreds of different articles
have greater opportunity than Wrigley?

They Sell at the Highest Premium
Ever Offered in Montana
Bids were opened Tuesday by the
county commissioners for the pro-
posed issue of $4,000 of Gallatin
county bonds. They accepted the
bid, $47,826, of the Farmers and Me-
chanics' Savings bank of Minneapolis
by a vote of two to one, Commission
er Morgan voting in the negative.
One of the gentlemen who was here
to bid on the county bonds said that
Montana state bonds would sell at a
handsome premium bearing 5 per
cent interest, if any should be
floated. Utah, a territory to the
south of us, has an Indebtedness of
100000 and her bonds sold recently
at. a premium of nine cents on the
dollar. It is to be hoped that some
means may be provided for making
a legal issue of bonds for funds with
which to erect buildings for the Ag-
ricultural college. With money seek
ing safe securities as it is today.
bonds bearing a low rate of interest
would sell well.

COxEYITEs

The captured Montana Coxeyites
were taken to Helena the first of the
week in charge of three companies
of soldiers and they are now camped
on the fair grounds near the temper
airy capital. 1t is said that the men
are we'll fed and few seem to care
to desert.
On May 1 William Hogan, the lead
er; William Cunningham, the orator;
Philip Rogers, the engineer, and John
Hackett, the fireman, and Michael
Elliott, who says he is a high pri-
vate, but was mistaken for a COM
mander because he was riding on the
engine, we're arraigned in the United
States court before Judge Knowles.
George Haldorn and Robert B. Smith
acted as their attorneys. They were
cited to appear and answer on Thurs
day of next week, the bonds of Ho-
gan and Cunningham being fixed al
$4,000 each. The others were fixed
at $4,000. All were taken to the
county Jail. Bail for Hogan and Gun
bingham was afterwards furnished
from Butte and the gentlemen have
been released.
Forty one of the captains and lieu.
tenants were also taken before Judge
Knowles and he admitted them to bal
and fixed their bonds at $3.50 each
They taken back to the fail
grounds. The bonds Of the private.
were fixed at 500 without their be
ing taken into court.
At the time the Coxeyites were
captured, there were 331 men. Thl
next morning there were 378, and 2
hours later there were 408. The ad
ditions were men taken off train
left behind in the hurried departurr
from Butte and working their wa,
to catch up with the main army
There were some deserters befor
starting, and the camp at Helen
numbers only about 800.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Big Reduction Made in Cost for
Electric Lights

Big Reduction Made in Cost for
Electric Lights
At the last meeting of the old city
council Thursday evening, a resolu-
ton dispensing with all street lights
in excess of the original II contrac-
ted for by the city, was passed. This
measure was adopted by a vote of
five to two, and the ostensible reason
given was to save the money, which
amounts to about $4,000 a month, to
make needed improvements on the
street. Al side reason given is that
the city contract calls for lamps of
1900 candle power and it is said the
light company has been furnishing
only about 700 c~andlepower. 1t is
thought that when the lights are
brought up to what the contract calls
for, the extra lights may be put on
again. Manager Ogden let off some
electricity in the council room owe
the affair and threatens to continue
burning the extra lights and says
he will see that the city pays for
them.

Quart of Water
Cleans Kidneys
|kTake a Little Salts if Your Back
Hurts, or Bladder is
Troubling You

No man or woman can make a mis-
take by flushing the kidneys occasion
ally, says a well-known authority. Eat
ing too much rich food creates acids,
which excite the kidneys. They become
overworked from the strain, get slug
gish and fail to filter the waste and
poisons from the blood. Then we get
sick. Rheumatism, headaches, liver
trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleep
l~essness and urinary disorders often
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache m
the kidneys, or your back hurts. or If
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full Of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of sCalding, begin
drinking a quart of water each day,
also get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a tablespoon
full in a glass of water before breakfast
and in a few days your kidneys may act
fine.
This famous salts is made from the
| acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
| bined with lithia, and has been used
for years to flush and stimulate the
| kidneys; also to help neutTalize the
acids in the system, so they no longe'
cause irritation, thus often relieving
bladder weakness.
lad Salts is inexpensive; makes :
delightful effervescent lithia-water drini
which everyone should take now ant
then to help keep the kidneys cleal
and active and the blood pure, thereb.
often avoiding serious kidney cOmplica
tons.
