week, the Wachters found themselves
regarded as pioneers, for practically
all tourists in Mexico arrive and leave
the country by boat. Roads, except

In poor shape. but much work is now
underway on the main thoroughfares,
which are being made ready for
American tourists, Mr.. Wachter said.
These new roads will be oiled, this
type being favored over all others IN
every part Of Mexico.
Unemployment conditions, as seen
by Mr.. Wachter, are comparable with
nothing In, this country, for there Is
no work Of any kind, with the excep-
ton Of small amount of road con-
siruction. Squalor and poverty, un-
usual even for Mexico, were in evi-

SET |. &C. HEARING
HERE FOR APRIL II
Will Consider Tariff Proposing
to Cancel Stopping in Tran
sit Privileges

Edgar j. Smith, examiner for the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
will conduct hearing here April II
on new tariff filed by the Transcon.
tinental Freight Bureau proposing tc
cancel stopping in transit privileges
to partly unload fruit and vegetables
along the Milwaukee railroad III
North Dakota and other states.
Under the present schedule, carload
shipments of fruit from the North
Pacific Coast and vegetables from
Montana may be partially. unloaded
and the remainder of the carlot dis
tributed to other points at an addi-
tional cost of $3.50 per car, according
to Earl M. Hendricks. traffic expert
for the state railroad commission.
The new tariff, Hendricks said,
would eliminate this stopping In
transit privilege and permit the
charging of part carload or local
freight rates. This would result In an
additional cost of from $50 to $100
per car, he said.
Protest against the new tariff was
filed with the Interstate Co1nmercs
Commission by the North Dakota
state railroad commission, the South
Dakota commission and the North
Dakota Farmers Union.

Ia Men Are Facing
Counterfeit Count

Detroit, April 8.-P}-United States
secret service agents revealed early
wednesday they had arrested Il al
legged members of a counterfeiting ring
and had seized a plant in Pontiac.
Mich, near here, equipped to turn
out bogus bills by the thousands.
In a room in downtown hotel oc-
cupied by two of the suspects, the
agents said, they confiscated spurious
money with a fictitious value of sew
eral thousands Of dollars and dope
worth $4,000.
The agents said the arrests and
seizures eliminated search begun
in February which previously had led
them to New York and Pittsburgh on

ately. It Is we'll to shade the plants
for day Or two after setting.
Spray Plants Well
Several diseases attack the grow
ing crop but these can usually be pre-
vented or controlled by spraying the
plants. at frequent intervals with
Bordeaux mixture.
The spray must be very thor ough,
so as to put a protective covering on
all parts OF the stems and leaves.
Bleaching the stalks Of celery for
use is the final process and consists
of banking the plants to the top with
earth or enclosing them In some COW
ering that will exclude the light.
Market gardeners. often blanch tl,e
celery with 10 or 12-inch boards set
on edge along the rows. one beard on
each side, holding them in place by
means of stakes driven into the
ground. Strips of heavy paper are
also used for planning along the sides
of the row to exclude the. light
Another method is to wrap each
stalk: Or plant with a piece OF paper
and hold the paper In place with
string or rubber bands. Still another
method is to set short sections OF drain
tile over each plant.
Celery for winter use must be stored
in q cool, well ventilated place and
must be kept cool. Most cellars are
too warm for the storage OF celery
and an outdoor pit or trench is pre-
ferable.

The Bidding

The Bidding
The one over one system was being
used by North and South. The hand
was played at contract and South
opened with one heart. West passed,
and North bid three diamonds This
is a Jump overcall showing partner
that he believes there is game in the
combined two hands and requires
partner to keep the bidding open.
South goes to three hearts showing
at least a five-card heart suit and
most Of his strength concentrated in
hearts. That Is all the Information
that North needs. AS long as his
partner holds five hearts, he can
safely carry the contract to four
hearts, which closes the contracting.
Tho Play
Diamonds are Vests strong suit.
and even though thoy have been bid
by North. there Is grave danger III
opening any other suit. therefore the
top honor in diamonds Is lee - the

cane force, which no doubt will cause
the ice to drift and be in motion, and
hence list or heel the Nautilus and
make her berth precarious. Such lack
Of stability might seriously endanger
the storage batteries and other equip
ment, and cut off all power.
Little Chance of Escape
And finally, even should the ice
boring apparatus for the coming
tower and air tubes be found prac-
tical, and should it become necessary
to abandon ship, the chances of the
party ever making land are far too
slight to be considered seriously. For
they will have no dog teams for
transportation, and no pre-arranged
relay or supply stations.
I have not touched upon the con-
slant mental strain, the continuous
state Of uncertainty, or the unnatural
and unhealthful life of confinement
in the cramped space of a submarine
Particularly will such a strain be felt
when the men are in a position of
extreme danger. Without power, and
with the batteries exhausted, life be-
low could be maintained only for six
days at the most. There would be
no alternative but to attempt to bore
through the ice and abandon ship.
Success seems to have been figured
on normal conditions of operation,
and no serious delays or mishaps. In
my opinion these desired conditions
will be very hard to find Mention
already has been made of the danger
of compass failure, in which case geo.
graphic positions and directions would
have to depend solely on observations
of the sun. since stars will be invisible
in the Arctic day. Such observations,
OF course, could be made only on the
surface.
Even on the supposition that new
batteries may give the additional sub
merged cruising radius predicted by
Commander DanenhoWer. the chances
against success are still too numerous.
1t seems to me. to justify the objects
Of the expedition.
May Not Get Far
If I were to venture a guess, 1t
would be that the Nautilus propellers
will be disabled in the loose ice around
Spitzbergen before a serious attempt
has been made to take the initial
plunge under the Arctic ice cap. And
If it should so hapen, I would consider
1t fortunate accident.
After all, what good can come of
such an attempt? What benefit of
any sort can be derived from it; what
new data can be collected which can
be beneficially utilized?
Who cares seriously about the
Arctic depths of unnayigable waters?

COPYING OF bills
AND RESOLUTIONS
FINISHED BYBYRNE
1891 Session Laws, However,
Will Not Be Available
Until June

Delugcd by an avalanche Of bills
passed during closing days Of the
recent legislature, the secretary OF
states office has just completed the
copying Of 321 bills and 13 resolutions
The secretary Of state is required
to make copies from the original bills
classify and index them for printing
in q book form known as the 1881
Session Laws. His office is charged
with having published and distributed
1000 paper hound copies and 5000
cloth-bound copies.
In his experience as secretary Of
state, Robert Byrne said the legis-
lature never before had passed SO
many bills in its last days of session.
OF the 334 bills and resolutions, 264
Of them came to his office at the close
or Immediately after the session.
In previous years, Byrne said, the
legislators gave final approval to
many of their actions earlier in the
session and so enabled his office to
copy and classify a great many Of
their measures during the session.
Despite this handicap the 1881 6es-
sion Laws are expected to be avail
able to the public by June Is.
A law enacted in 1925 is held by
Byrne as responsible for delaying
publication Of the popular edition OF
the session laws. Prior to 1925 the
popular edition was published on
cheap paper without regard to classi-
fication or thorough indexing. This
enabled the public to have a rough
sketch Of the new laws shortly after
the session closed.
Under the present law. however,
the secretary said, the popular or
paper cover edition must be an exact
COPY of the cloth-bound edition,
which is carefully checked, classified
and indexed SO as to be- absolutely
correct before publication.
Hundreds Of requests for copies OF
the 1881 Session Laws have been re-
ceiyed. but his office will be unable
to comply with the requests until
in June, Byrne said. Mimeograph
COPIES will be made of the more I'M

Celery growing in this country got
its big start at Kalamazoo. Mich,
some 40 or SO years ago, when a few
local gardeners started growing it.
Now we have celery grown ir thou
sands Of home gardens.
Last year we shipped more than
$4,000. cars Of celery to our large city
markets. 3a
Celery is not difficult to: grow III

is pretty sure to be your lot Get
ting the plants started is perhaps
the most difficult part for the aver
age gardener.
In the first place the seeds are very
small. about 10000 to an ounce. They
are slow in starting and the seedbed
has to be watched very carefully to
keep it from drying out.
The little seedlings have to be
handled very carefully and trans
planted from the seedbed to trays or
to a special bed where they can have
at least couple OF inches Of space
in each direction. The plants must
not become severely chilled while in
the plant bed. But, on the other
hand, they do best at a temperature
that does not often get above 70 de-
grees.
Celery requires q very rich soil and
plenty of water. It IS frequently
grown on drained marsh land that
has been highly fertilized. It can be
grown. however, on any good garden
soil that is well manured and sup
piled with plant nutrients In the form,
of chemical fertilizers. provided
enough moisture Is available.
Don't Stint on Water
Plants for an early crop Of celery
should be grown indoors but those foc
the late or main crop can be started
in a small bed in the garden.
In planting the seed it should not
be covered more than one-eighth of
an inch deep. The bed must be kept
we'll watered. The rows OF celery
should be about three feet apart and

This sounds like a very simple

however. from the standpoint OF
