PROVIDE RICH EARTH WITH COMPOST HEAP
From the Boston Transcript It is very wasteful not to run a compost heap in connection with a garden, for even in a small place the amount of vegetable debris is surprisingly large. To start it, select a convenient but inconspicious corner and on it throw, through the entire season, all easilyrotting vegetable waste pea pods, corn husks, lawn clippings, etc.; occasionally scatter on a little lime. Add, when clearing up in the fall, all ' the garden cluttei" bean and tomato
vines, ca.uua.go iMULuyt .--. j thing but corn stalks, which decay very slowly; also add leaves, with the exception of very tough, leathery ones. Never add promiscuous lawn or garden rakings containing sticks, bits of glass, stones, etc. This is an unforgiveable offense in the eye of a gardener who takes pride .in his work. If the "heap" is within eye range, plant a few sunflowers on the house side; or sow two or three seeds of running squash, cucumbers or nasturtiums at the base; the rich earth, soon formed, proves a fine forcer, and we have produced some of our best cucumbers from vines planted as such a screen. Each spring sift out the undecayed material with a spading fork, and what is left will be rich, dark humus, splendid for scattering among bulbs and perennials and for replacing wornout earth.
PERCY, PET ROOSTER
WAS TOO BARBAROUS TO LIVE; EXECUTED DETROIT "Percy,- the giant, child-biting, man-eating, woman-hating bandit rooster, is no moro. "Percy" completely lost his head, going under the guillotine to an ignominious end. Just a brief, fleeing year ago "Percy" was a cackle berry, pure a3
snow a Plymouth Rock egg with an
immaculate soul and a heart as golden as a dime's worth of cup-custard.
After he had pecked his way into a frigid, inhuman world, he became the property of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Lindsay, 9681 Petoskey avenue. As
a fuzzy little ball that could only lisp
"Cheep," he gave no promise of the
cut-throat future in store for him or of hi3 dramatic finish. 'Twas a Mistake. Not long after naming his roostership "Percy," the Lindsays srealized their mistake and knew they should have given him some such monicker as "Warbling Satan" or "Hell'3 Canary," as early in his career ha earned those titles and lived fully up to his reputation. Neighbors gav9 "Percy" names that are household words but which would not look well in print He early learned to crow in baritone, and those who daily were

After neighbors reported
was much like two mules In a braying
match. And thus passed eight months months' filled with escapades and marked by a physical growth that led folks to hint that "Percy" had elephantiasis. In nine months he was "cock of the walk," had the gall of a dinosaurus, a leg like an ostrich, and his peck seemed a full bushel. Three months more, and from Yellowstone to Petoskey avenue, with Otsego avenue acting as a buffer between, people kept their doors bolted day and night and mentioned his name in whispers. Let one of the women whose offsprings suffered from "Per
cy's" disposition speak: Looked Like Camel. "Why, that darn big rooster was the terror of the . whole neighborhood," she fumed. "He was as big as a horse and when he started toward a person he looked for all the world like a feathered camel. There wasn't a child in the neighborhood that he hadn't attacked and pecked or stucic with his awful spurs. Say, It got so we didn't dare send our children to the grocery almost across from where this fighting bird lived. "He didn't stop at kids either; big and little looked alike to him. One day he went after a portly woman on our street and drove her into her house. She came out with a club and when that fowl went after her again she gave him a swat you could have heard a block away. He went down for a full minute and then Junfped up

Br FRANK . MEJOCEl Baseball is being played in Mexico
with a few variations.
A league embracing five clubs ex
ists in Mexico City and whenever the natives feel in a mood which calls for
giving vent to their feelings, they
scoot out to the baseball pars ana
select, in true baseball fashion, the umpire as their official target.
Mexicans, in the main, do not Know
what baseball is all about. But they do know that whenever they so de
sire they may emit violent yips in the
neighborhood of the umpire, who is re
ferred to as a "referee" on the Mexi
can diamond. The players, and the fans, exercising to the limit and
somewhat beyond their rights to
combat orally the Judgment of the umpire, kick early, long and often. Umpires who officiate In Mexico City go onto the field prepared for anything that happens. They wear masks, chest' protectors, shin guards, some
sort of pad on their backs and, if certain reporters are to be believed, they wear artillery in several of their pockts. They believe in the 6afety first, last and all the time stuff. Don't Take Chances The diamonds are skinned and as
fast as lightning. A hard hit ball whistles through the Infield like a 16
men shell from a battleship. Fielding is mediocre, as far as ground hit balls are concerned. Every batter knows it. So instead of lifting up the ball to the outfield, he aims to drive it in fast bounding fashion through the infield. If he achieves his aim it's nearly a certain single or double, for Mexican infielders have the idea that discretion is the better part of valor. They'll let the batter get a safe hit ralher than try conclusions with a eiz-
zler and run the risk of having their
AUTO POLISH LIQUOR GIVES COOK SENTENCE
Floyd Cook, arrested Friday morning on a charge of violation of the liquor laws, was fined $100 and costs and given a 60-day sentence to the penal farm in police court Saturday morning. Cook was convicted on evidence furnished by Ralph Thornburgh, a youth who is now serving out a $100 fine at the county Jail for the same offense.

Thornburgh was arrested at Winchester last March and brought back to this city. He was given a fine of $100 and costs. Thornburgh testified that he had gone to Fountain City with Cook after they had procured the liquid here. They eliminated the formaldehyde by dropping in the white of a number of eggs and later straining the liquid through two handkerchiefs and a chamois skin. Cook, who was convicted Saturday morning, has been sent to the penal farm before from circuit court on a similar charge. The affidavit filed by

RAILWAYS OF CANADA CARRY 51,000,000 PERSONS
OTTAWA, Ontario, April 29. More
than 51,000,000 passengers were car
ried on Canadian railways in 1921, and
there were only four killed and 240 in
jured, according to the statistics of
the board of railway commissioners
Of a total of 125,177 employes engaged in railway work during the period, 91
were killed and 1,344 were injured.
The fences are so far away from
home plate that even Babe Ruth
wttuld be discouraged if asked to pole
one over the top. Curves Unknown.
Curve balls are more or less un
known. About the only persons who ties to sling 'em oncen a while is
Pete Leyva, the crack moundsman of the Republic. Pete is quite a hero
with the baseball fans. He's not so
much so with the opposition players
They are a bit Bour on Pete because of that sweeping outcurve which he
uses. They have the idea that he isn't
merely attempting to fool 'em when
he pitches it. They think he's trying
to knock 'em for a row of buttercups. A whistle, such as is used in foot
ball games in these parts plays a con
spicuous role in Mexican baseball. It's
used to start the game. Also it is tooted when a play is completed. Quite frequently when the crowd razze3 the umpire too long and too loud, he toots his little tooter above the din to tell
'em that silence and perfect decorum
are desired.
Baseball has been played In Mexico for some years but the season of 1921-1922 is; the first where organized play has been in vogue. The crowds have been small, yet large enough to encourage the promoters. They hope
for much better thing3 next season,

Paige 6-66 Daytona Model Travels 10 Miles at Rate of 93.2 Miles Per Hour
The Paige 6-66 Daytona Model is the holder of all world's stock chassis speedway records from 5 to 100 miles. But now this recordbreaking car has further demonstrated its ability. ( Piloted by Earl Cooper, the Paige, in an unofficial exhibition run against time, covered 10 miles in 6 minutes and 26 Vs seconds at the San Carlos, California track, on Sunday April 16th. It thus travelled at the terrific
speed of 93 Vs miles per hour for the ten miles. The official record for the distance, held by this same stock chassis is 6:31:48, or 91 i miles per hour. It was made at the Uniontown Speedway a year ago. Thus, once again, the Paige in the most spectacular manner has demonstrated its power and endurance. The Paige 6-66 is the Master of the Highway.

To the Voters of Wayne County The office of County Assessor, while not usually recognized as important from a remunerative standpoint, to the taxpayer it is one of the most important. Sixtynine per cent of taxes levied are based on the county unit, exclusive of municipal, so that the appraisement of all the property in Wayne County should be based absolutely on the same level, or .as . near as humanly possible. The expenditures are 46 for educational purposes, 23 for roads, and 10 for County administration, leaving 25 for township and 5 to 6 for state taxes. The figures for township are approximate because of difference in expenditures in the various townships. This relation to the whole should then be carefully observed by. all appraising officials, and a very close co-operation of township assessors, their deputies, county assessor and board of review should existShould I be nominated and elected County Assessor, I shall bear this fact closely In mind and strive to keep in touch with township assessors and visit them when they are actually engaged in their work. I believe values should be based on cash and that horizontal raises should not be made, because individuals who have taken full responsibility for the affidavit affixed to all assessment sheets feel they have not received justice, while others have refused to recognize such responsibility of good citizenship. This fact tends to make otherwise honorable men disregard their obligations. f So far as ability to fill the office is concerned. I feel that I have fair knowledge of values in town, city and country, gained from experience and residence in each. I have educational and clerical experience amply sufficient, and I am under no obligations to any class or Individuals which would tend to make me other than absolutely fair to alL ,
