As to Shooting Stars

Meteorites differ greatly from me
teors or shooting stars in many re-
spects, possibly even in their origin.
Meteor swarms are known, says Ma

migrating comets, following the
same orbits. Meteorites or fireballs
rarely appear in connection with
swarms of meteors. though they occa-
sionally appear in groups and many
individual meteoric stones or irons
often have been found in single

its until the poisons from decaying
waste held too long in the system
have begun to affect the child's
health.
Watch your child and at the first
sign of constipation, give him a little
California Fig Syrup. Children love
its rich, fruity taste and it quickly
drives away those distressing all
ments, such as headaches, bad breath,
coated tongue, biliousness, feverish-
ness, fretfulness, etc. 1t gives them a
hearty appetite, regulates their stom-
ach and bowels and gives tone and
strength to these organs so they con-
ltinue to act normally, of their own
accord. For over fifty years, lead
ing physicians have prescribed it for
half-sick, bilious, constipated chill
dren. More than 4 million bottles
used year shows how mothers de-
pend on it.
Mrs. C. G. Wilcox, 3S55k Wolff.
St, Denver, Colorado, says: "My son,
Jackie, is prize winner for health,
now, but we had lot of trouble with
him before we found his trouble was
constipation and began giving him
California Fig Syrup. 1t fixed him
up quick, gave him a good appetite,
made him sleep fine and he's been
gaining in weight right along since
the first few days, taking it."
To avoid inferior limitations of
California Fig Syrun ALWAYS look for
the word california" on the carton.

New Way to Gate

Buzz Arlett, of Oakland, complained
recently that he was put out of
game by an umpire without saying a
word to him. Buzz likes his hits and
was having the close ones called to
his disadvantage. He didn't say any
thing, but glared plenty at the amps.
Finally. after what he considered to
be raw one, he turned to Fred Hof-
mann, the Mission catcher, and said:
Turn around and see the worlds

lett got an early shower.

to three times as many cows can be
fed on each acre.
Several seasons will be required to
bring weedy and poor pastures with a
thin stand up to the standard desired,
by the use of fertilizer alone, cautions
Mr.. Oldenburg. He advises shorten
ing the process by narrowing suffi-
GENTLY to remove dead grass and ex-
pose fresh soil, and then applying a
few pounds Of seed. The mixture he
recommends for strong clay or loan
soils is Kentucky blue grass, alsike
and white clovers, and timothy. In
his opinion, the best mixture for light
loan or sandy soils is orchard grass
with little red top and alsike clover.
If you are not in a position to ferti-
lie a whole pasture, it is suggested
that an acre be staked off in the pas
ture and treated in the manner des-
cribed. In that way the effect can be
seen right on your own farm.

Fertilizers Pep Up Permanent
Pastures

tdSluTeS
Millions of dollars of additional feed
can be obtained from the permanent
pastures of Maryland by giving them
better care, according to F. W..
Oldenburg, specialist in Agronomy
for the University of Maryland EXten-
sion Service. 1t is his observation that
from 25 to so per cent of the space
in many pastures is occupied by course
growth that has no feed value.
A job that can be done now and
right on through the winter months,
says Mr.. Oldenburg, is to clear the
pasture lands Of all shrubs, bushes
and weeds. He also states that the
fall of the year seems to be the best
time to apply lime, potash, and super
phosphate. These require several
months to get in their good work and
applications now will benefit spring
growth. Nitrogen, however, should
not be PUT on until the early spring,
| All the, fertilizers could be applied in
early spring, if it is not possible to
put them or in the fall, but since the
spring of the year is always busy
time the pastures are more likely to
receive fertilizer if the work is done
when there is les rush.
Of course, the quantity of lime
needed will vary with the acidity of
the soil but as a general rule, from
1000 to 1000 pounds per acre should
help on nearly all well-drained pas
lures. Four or FIVE hundred pounds of
superphosphate and $50 pounds of
muriate of potash n acre is about cor
rect for most well-Grained soils.
The nitrogen should be applied in
the early spring, about a month be-
fore turning out time" With the
plentiful amount of mois -ure which is
in the soil at that time, on pasture
with good stand of grass, the cattle
will find a supply of very good feed
ten to twenty days earlier in the
spring. The carrying capacity will be
increased and in most cases from two

All equipment was removed to the edge of the de- pression and it is estimated that the lake is one hundred and fifty feet deep. Thirteen wells were forced to shut down.

TRYING PUNISH PEOPLE
 WHO BUY LIQUOR

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12. (P,- The move to make liquor purchas- CTS liable to prosecution as pro hibition violators, was described by the association against the pro hibition amendment. as one which would nullify the eighteenth am- endment. This was the view set forth in statement by Henry Curran, president, when comment ing on the bill introduced by Sen ator sheppard, democrat from Tex as, to declare buyers equally gull ty, along with manufacturers and sellers of liquor" Curran said Congress left it out of the eigh- teenth admendment deliberately and Congress cant put it into the volstead act now without nulli- flying the amendment which the volstead act is based on." He said Sheppard said the clause Was left out because the belief existed at that time that the law could not be passed with the clause in it. A case in Philadelphia was decide recently whereby liquor buyer could not be punished. They the advocates of prohibition, used this as premise, Sheppard said.

CASE AGAINST FALL IS
 HALTED DUE ILLNESS
WASHINGTON. Oct. 10. lP,-

WASHINGTON. Oct. 10, (P- A recess in the trial of Albert Fall until tomorrow, was declar- ed by Justice Hitz. who said that a physician would have to eXa- mine Fall before anything further was done. The case was halted by the defendant's illness, when Fall was taken ill yesterday dur ing the progress of the trial. Chief counsel Frank Hogan announced that his client would be unable to continue the case. Hogan said that Fall was on the verge of bronchial pnuemonia, and to ap- pear in court any more would ser iously jeopa rdise his life. Fall, yesterday appeared against the advice of his physician. and was forced to leave when his tempera- ture went up and he began cough ing blood. Special Prosecutor Roberts said that the government was unwilling to continue. Fall being in such poor condition, he asserted that conviction might mean to be death warrant to the sick man.
