GO N Z AG A COUNCIL HAS HEW PROJECT

Want to Raise $50,000 to Build Combination School And Club House. $10,000 ALREADY RAISED

ONE NATIONAL AND ONE STATE OFFICIAL OF THE ORDER ATTENDED THE BIG MEETING HELD ON SUNDAY.

At the meeting of the Gonzaga Council of the Y. M. I., yesterday afternoon, the proposition of securing; $50,Ot)0 with which to construct a ncv school house with special club features was considered and will receive the hearty support of the men's organization of the church. It is proiosed to build the new school on the site of the present building, South Fifth and C streets, and already, approximately $lo,X) has been raised for this purpose. Supreme Secretary Slinger and State Organizer Budenz were present at the Gonzaga meeting yesterday and spoke on the work of the organization. The Rev. Father Rocll, pastor, and his assistant, the Rev. Father Weiland, also delivered short talks to the members, in which they encouraged the promotion of the organization to its greatest possible limits in this city. Both are members of the organization. Its Quarters Outgrown. The Gonzaga club now has quarters on South Sixth street, but it has been the desire of the members and the aim of the church to provide quarters in the school house with all the features of a Y. M. C. A., such as reading rooms, bowling alleys, pool and billiard parlors, gymnasium and the like. In a manner this is provided at the school building, but its limitations are apparent and as it is necessary that a new school be erected, the new building will Include features for educational, religious and social pursuits. The campaign for the $oO,0)0 will not take more than a year or two, it is believed. The church is moderately wealthy, as shown by the fact that the congregation soon paid off the debt after the reconstruction, of the present church, which is one of the finest in the city. The club will have the support of not only members of St. Andrew's congregation, but likewise that of St. Mary's. The club will be purely Catholic in its organization.

Crushed the Diamond. Among historic diamonds one, the Plggott, has gone out of existence. The story of its destruction is a tragical one. It was said to be worth $200,000. The diamond came into the possession of All Pasha, who always wore it in a green silk purse attached to his girdle. He was wearing it when he was wounded by Reshid Pasha. Knowing that his wound was mortal, be immediately retired to his divan, gave orders that bis favorite wife should be poisoned and then delivered the diamond to Captain D'Anglas with the order that it should be crushed to powder in his presence. His command was obeyed, and the beautiful gem was utterly destroyed.

Of Interest to the Farmers

ADAPTABILITY OF ALFALFA.

Crops Produced In Most Climates ef the United 8tates. While experts have been declaring that alfalfa would grow only in certain soils and in certain climates, it has proved adaptability to nearly all climates and almost all soils. It prodaces with a rainfall as scant as fourteen inches and in the gulf states flourishes with sixty-five inches. It gives crops at an elevation of 8.000 feet above sea level, and in southern California it grows below sea level to a height of six feet or over, with nine cuttings a year, aggregating ten to twelve tons. An authenticated photograph shows a wonderful alfalfa plant raised in the irrigated desert of southern California, sixty feet below sea level, that measured considerably more than ten feet in height. Satisfactory crops are raised, but on limited areas as yet. in Vermont and Florida. New York has grown It for over 100 years in her clay and gravel. Nebraska grows it in her western sand hills without plowing, as does Nevada on ber sagebrush desert The depleted cotton soils of Alabama and rich corn lands of Illinois and Missouri each respond generously with profitable yields to the enterprising farmer, while its accumulated nitrogen and the subsoiling it effects are making the rich land more valuable and giving back to the crop worn land the priceless elements of which It has been in successive generations despoiled by a conscienceless husbandry. Farm Value of Toads. A naturalist has found some very Interesting facts concerning the diet of the toad, and it is found that it is a benefactor of the farmer and gardener. It eats caterpillars and cutworms, beetles, sowbugs, snails, grasshoppers, moths, wireworms and potato bugs, all of which damage a farmer's crop or his goods to a serious degree. In the stomach of one toad were found seventeen thousand-legged worms, in another were thirty-seven tent caterpillars, in another sixty-five gypsy moths were found and in still another fiftyfive army worms. It is said that eighty-six house worms have disappeared down the throat of one toad in less than ten minutes, and the record of stuffing is beld by another, who was still hungry after consuming ninety bugs. According to this observer, in ninety days a single toad may destroy 1,160 cutworms, 1,860 thousandlegs, 2.100 sowbugs and 360 weevils.

Farm Truck by Automobile. It is Interesting to know that many of the conveniences and helps which were supposed to belong to city society are now making their way into the country. Water fixtures in the houses, steam and hot water heaters and many other things which fifty years ago were

Tlie superintendent is much pleased witb the machine in every way and says that It Is very practical and serviceable and takes the place of at least six horses. Fortythree barrels of apples-can be carried with perfect ease. It will carry a hundred bushels of potatoes. In the load shown here there are 100 baskets of peaches, and considerably more could have been added. Both trips to market are made to count, as. returning, the truck takes back supplies for the farm and its operation. Such a truck as this will climb any grade that is found on traffic thoroughfares, and ordinary mud baa no terror for it at all. By means of trucks like these markets are brought close to the farmers, thus insuring a quick disposal of the farm products. Much labor is saved, and much more work can be accomplished for less moDey.

Weeding Out Unprofitable Cows. Dairy farms are continually advancing In value, which sbould be regarded as part of tbe profits. Grain farming is hard on tbe land. With tbe case In test it will be possible to weed out tbe poor cheese cows on tbe same principle used in the Babcock butter test to weed out the poor butter cows. Instead of keeping cows for cheese which nverage 70 pounds of casein per 100 pounds of fat. one may breed cows that will produce milk containing close to 100 pounds of casein to 100 pounds of fat.

SCIENCE ON THE SOIL

An Increase of Yield Obtained by Chemical Treatment. This is the age of scientific farming. Take the results from grain by tbe application of phosphates to tbe soil. Tbe lack of phosphates is not limited to the older sections of the country. In Wisconsin, for example, it has been customary in the wooded districts to clear but small fields and crop these fields continuously for a number of years very largely to grasses for hay. chiefly timothy. This practice has had the effect of greatly reducing tbe available phosphates of tbe

green or a oaTser noe.Similar experiments have been made in Illinois and Ohio. Tbe cuts here presented show the beneficial effect of acid phosphate on corn. An increased yield of large and well filled eats resulted where phosphate was used compared witb a light yield and nubbins where none was used. Electricity en Farms. Electric power companies are being formed in Pennsylvania and other eastern states which are thickly settled to supply light and power to farms. One Philadelphia company Is now making contracts over six counties.

"COMPLICATION OF DISEASES." How often one hears this expression. It means a condition in which no one disease fully develops, but symptoms of various disorders are present. Poisoned, impure blood would explain the cause in nine out of ten such cases. It matters not if the blood be poisoned by inoculation, or by the failure of one or more of the important glands of the

body to perform their duties, a power

ful alterative or blood purifier, is nec

essary to cleanse it, and in so doing removes the cause. Dr. A. B. Simp

son's Vegetable Compound is the most

thorough and powerful alterative or

blood purifier ever known, a fact which is firmly established, and sup

ported by testimony of hundreds of

grateful people. It is harmless as it is effective, and sold at one dollar a bottle at all drug stores.

GOOD EFFKCTS ON CORN FROM ACID PHOSPHATE. soil, and in such cases exceptional care will be needed to restore the supply of available phosphates. In the spring of 1908 a farmer in Wisconsin made an extensive experiment with phosphate on clay loam land which had not given satisfactory yields the preceding year. For this purpose be purchased four tons of acid phosphate, using it on oats seeded to clover and on corn in three different amounts namely, 100. 200 and 400 pounds per acre. Tbe result of this experiment Is given in the following quotation from a letter from tbe experimenter: "I am of the opinion the grain (oats) was thicker on tbe ground, and there were more oats at thrashing than where the fertilizer was not used. On the heavier soils tbe difference was apparent very early in the season, and later on. when the grain headed out, the pieces could be picked out readily, the stand was thicker and more uniformin fact, some of it was as nice oats as 1 ever saw stand up. 1 found that where we used 100 pounds it was somewhat better, when 200 pounds were used it was very much better, and when we used 400 pounds the best results were obtained. The benefit was even more apparent in tbe corn

THERE IS SOME FRESH TALK REGARDING C. F. REMY FOR STATE CHAIRMAN, BUT OPPOSITION HAS DEVELOPED.

the republicans do not know hethtr they will have a love feast or not. State Chairman James P. Goodrich dropped his work as receiver for the C, C. & L. railroad In Chicago Ions enough last Saturday to come to this city and talk the matter over with Fred Sims, acting state chairman, and Charles W. Miller, United States district attorney and one of the right hand men of Senator Beveridge, and although they conferred a part of the forenoon and all afternoon, they did not decide whether there would be a love feast or not. Just what the hitch was no one is saying, but it is well known that there is a division of opinion among the republicans of the state as to whether there should be a love feast this year or not. After th close of the conference Saturday evening, nothing was said as to when th? question would be settled. Goodrich returned to Chicago, and it is not known just when he will get back. It was said that an announcement may be made on the. subject next Tuesday, but this is uncertain. Cause of Delay. There is some fresh talk about Chas. F. Remy of this city, for republican state chairman, but it seems that opposition has developed in certain quar

ters, and the whole business is still up

in the air. There is a general understanding that th date for the reorganization of the state committee will be set late, for some reason, and that this accounts for the lack of speed on the part of the leaders in arranging for the holding of conventions. A new rule is to be adopted by the present state committee before it retires from office. It will require ill counties to elect their delegates to th? state convention the same day. Instead of on different days, as has been the rule heretofore. The state committee will set the date for the election of the state convention delegates. On republican, in speaking of this rule, said it would prevent federal office holders from going around over the state and helping to select delegates to the state convention. This would look like a thrust at Senator Beverldge, but It is believed that there will not be any opposition to the rule when it is proposed.
