TONIGHT AT THE GAYETY

The Famous Bates & Anderson performed before a large and appreciative assembly last evening and when we are disclosing the fact that they are the best ever we are not exaggerating. These renonned artists have performed before both the uncivilied and nobility in foreign lands and have been presented in their stage attire for the inspection of critics and have yet to discover the individual who could discover which'was the gent. , They are unquestionably the greatest impersonators known to civilization.

ALFALFA

(Fourth of a series of articles by Carpe Diem.)

An unproductive soil well stored with lime has never yet been found. Lands that have become famous for their fertility are always rich in lime. On the other hand, no permanent agriculture can be maintained without it At the Arlington Station* just across the river from Washington, D. C., within the last few years, manure has been applied in such quantities that would have covered it to the depth of 'five feet had it all been applied at once, and yet this is not fertile land because of its lack of lime. In France, Germany and England lime has been applied for more than a thousand years and yet these lands excell the new United States in acre yield of all staple crops. One reason for the superiority of alfalfa as a feed for glowing animals is its heavy lime content For instance, a hundred pounds of ashes from Timothy hay contains 4.70 pounds of lime; red clover 10 per cent; white alfalfa contains 36 per cents. It will be seen from this that alfalfa takes large amounts of lime, which it must get from the soil. Let it be understood that the lime content of farmed land is constantly being diminished. The rate of its removal depend® more upon the texture of the soil than upon the kind or amounts of crops produced. Thus an open* sandy soil will lose its lima far sooner than a close clay one. In its removal it follows the water courses and is consequently taken from the top first This accounts in part at least for the conclusion often heard that alfalfa is a weakly plant at first When in .fact it Is a very vigorous and fast grower, even when young, and on soils that meet its requirements and one of the greatest and commonest defects of our soils for alfalfa is its low lime content There is very little land in Jasper county but what would pay a profit over the cost of applying lime in large amounts. We have seen alfalfa that would make one and a half ton® in two cuttings from spring seeding the first season, but it was always on this lime land. The Illinois farmers are learning the use of lime and it is being ground by convict labor at Joliet and the railroads are making concessions in transportation charges, so certain are they that In the end they will be repaid in heavier traffic. The time is not far when there will be crushers at work. Rensselaer ha® an abundance of the raw material. It crops out along the Pinkamink and probably the lime content of-some gravel pits will be sufficient to warrant them being crushed and applied. The cost of grinding depends largely on the hardness of the rock. It seldom is more than one dollar per ton. It

’■Mrs. Rolland Gates, whose husband is a teamster, tried to end her lite Monday evening at about 6 o’clock, by drinking carbolic acid. The prompt action of members of the family (prevented her grom getting a large quantity of the drug and it is probable that she will live, although her life still hangs in the balance. Mrs. Gates and husband and their three children live northeast of the Rensselaer lumber Co. She is a daughter of Eli Criteer, who died last week. She has ibeen in poor health for some time and this, added to an impression that she was beirig imposed upon by her husband’s father, Jesse I Gates, is responsible, so reports slay, for her rash act. Mrs. Gates seated with the family at the supper table when Jesse Gates entered the home. It is said there was an exchange of disagree able words and that (Mrs. Gates left the table and went to her bedroom, where she took the bottle of acid from a dresser drawer. Anticipating tha", she might commit some rash act/ her husband followed her to the ijoorn and siezed the bottle just as she had it at her lips. Dr. Hemphill was called and by the use of alcohol and -a stomach pump he saved 'her life for the time being, at least, and i® now of the impression that she will live unless her throat is very badly burned. Mrs. Gates is about 30 years of age.

George T. Page, a Peoria Sttorney, will be named assistant secretary of the treasury to -succeed Charles 8. Hamlin, whom President Wilson has nominated for a position on the federal reserve board.

Who does not love a head of prett|y hair? Some women think it is a gift of nature and envy their mon fortunate sisters. If your hair is nst fluffy, soft and lustrous; is falling out, streaked, faded, brittle, or full of dandruff and if the scalp itches, do not think it must always be that way, for pretty hair is only a matter of care and proper nourishment of the hair roots. Hair is something like a plant—if neglected it soons withers and dies, while with a little attention it keeps fresh and beautiful. Parisian Sage is a scientific preparation that supplies just the elements needed to invigorate the hair roots and stimulate the hair to grow long, thick, fluffy, soft and lustrous. It removes dandruff with one application and quickly stops itching head and falling hair. B. F. Fendig or any druggist can supply you with Parisian Sage—it is inexpensive. You cannot be disappointed with this delightful and helpful hair tonic for the first few days’ use will give the hair the beauty and charm of youth.

may be applied at any time of the season and all the better if some months before seeding to alfalfa. It should not 'be plowed under deeply. It is the top few inches that need it worst as a rule. The amount to apply will vary with the amount already in the soil One of the best ways to do is to take a number of samples of the first few inches of the field in question; mjx them together and then take about a pint to Purdue and have them report the amount needed. They are paid for it so don’t be backward. Comparatively a email percent of this county can produce a maximum crop of alfalfa without more lime and it will pay a (handsome profit on the investment The lack of It fe a common cause for failure to secure <a stand of red clover. The application of commercial fertilizers hastens Ha further removal. There is but one known way to counterbalance this and that is by a direct application.

BRICK INSPECTION IS BEING MADE

City Engineer .Osborne is Requiring Many Pavement Brick to Be Turned or Removed.

The -laying of the new brick pavement on Washington street began Monday, that is, the brick laying began, the grout foundation having been under way for about two weeks, City Engineer Osborne, who ha® been active in the city’s behalf all the time, has been marking defective brick today and requiring that many be turned over and that others be removed altogether. When the contract was let all bidding concerns submitted samples of the kind of brick that were to be used. Nees & Seaman, who took the contract, were to furnish Wabash -brick, “Equal to sam-, pie” was required by the contract for the brick used in the pavement. Engineer Osborne declares that they are inferior to the sample. Many of them are chipped on the end® or corners, some are uneven i and some have other defects. The, half dozen brick submitted are of uniform size and finish. It is the intention of the city to, have an expert brick paving man ■ make an inspection after Mr. Os-: borne has completed his work and it is quite probable many more of the brick will be thrown out. Mr. Osborne marks each brick that looks bad and men -with tongs follow up and turn the brick over or place new ones in their place. The laying of the brick is rapid work.. The start was made at the Makeever house corner Monday piorning and it was 9 o’clock before they got to going good. They will almost reach Vian Rensselaer street by tonight. At this rate it will take only about 6 days to complete the laying. It will take longer to make the changes, probably, that a rigid inspection will

FORMER CLINTON MOOSER BOOSTS REPUBLICAN CAUSE

George W. Black Predicts Party Victory and Urges Former Republicans to Come Baek.

George W. Black, of Clinton, formerly a member ofc the city council of that city, and a supporter of Roosevelt and Beveridge in 1912, (has written a letter to the republican state committee, announcing I his return to the republican ranks. ■ and setting -forth his views on the I duty of all former republicans in the campaign this year. He said: “I see a good many have been writing to tell why they have “come back’ to the republican party. I want to say there are thousands and thousands of us who have come back that haven’t yet .been - heard from. I am one of them. I (voted for Roosevelt two years ago because I was in favor of anything 'to beat the democrats. My judgment proved right, that he was a better vote getter than Taft, but we fell about a thousand miles short of electing him. What we need now, -more than anything else in this country, is to bring back the protective tariff. The moosers say they, too, are for the protective tariff. But I want to say to those still hanging out, they are doing all in their power to keep the free trade democrats in power. Aren’t they satisfied with all but absolutely putting us all out of -business? I don’t admit that bull moosers are wholly to blame for bringing this condition- about. Taft’s supporters are as much to blame as Roosevelt’s, because they -helped cause the bust-up that put Wilson in. But what Ido say -is that -any former republican who is so blind or so stubborn as not to see he is now simply helping the democrats by refusing to vote the republican ticket, is hopeless. There’s just one way to beat the democrat®. Vote the republican ticket And I want to say we’ll beat ’em, too, this very next election.” /.L_
