Kansas City, July 21.—The two Jackson county jails—the one here and the one in Independence—are to be vacated of all able-bodied prison- ers through the remainder of the sum- mer.

Mr. Claasen after a forty-mile drive through the county, said from 50 to 60 per cent of the pests have been killed and that another spreading of the poisoned mash would exterminate them. CARDINAL NEARS FOUR SCORE Prelate Gibbons Believes Nearly Spent. Baltimore, Md., July 21.—"“Next ‘Wednesday I shall be seventy-nine years old,” said Cardinal Gibbons as he sat in his study. Then he added, in a gentle voice: “I do mnot think that I shall live much longer. My life is nearly-spent. “I think that it will not be long now,” he said slowly, and there was no sorrow in his voice, just resigna- tlon, “and when the call comes 1 think it will be a sudden one.” Life Is LOBBY COMMITTEE RESTS Inquiry Will Resume With Examina- tion of Mulhall Letters. ‘Washington, July 21.—The senate lobby committee rested with less than one-third of Martin M.

HOW SHE AROUSED THE MEN Ralsed Money For Town Improvement by Giving Partiss—Procesds Devoted to Cleaning Up Place and Paving the Main Street. A woman has put Waukau' on the map. Waukau is in Wisconsin. It has a population of less than 500, but be- cause of the woman the less than 500 have a $1,600 bridge and sidewalk. Mrs. Peter Macdougall first awoke to the fact that the one bridge over Wau- kau's one street wasn’t more than half a bridge after forty-five years of wear and tear and that the street wasn't more than half a street because there was nothing much but Wisconsin clay to walk on. The day she took this in with that new sense of civic responsi- bility that is developing in women ev- erywhere was the day she began to act. Stepping into Bagley's, she talk- ed with the general store man about the probable cost and ways and means of raising the money. He sald it would cost more than she could ever get, but she tacked up a subscription paper in the store, and the work of bridge bullding and sidewalk building had begun. You may not know Waukau, but you probably know some place not unlike Waukau, so you know just how hard it was to start something in Waukau. The first thing on the program was a box social. A box soclal is a party to which every -girl takes a lunch in a box, and the boxes are auctioned off to the men. The box soclal netted $25. Summer came, and ice cream socials got popular. < Meantime the sidewalk had been started, and by autumn the street between Bagley’s and the depot, a stretch 8,400 feet long, was paved, and there was $300 on' hand, with a deficit of $83 to be made up. - By now nearly everybody in Waukau was as full of fried chicken, deviled eggs, cake and ice cream s the law allowed, and the winter's programn had to show change. Mrs. Macdougall got a- slight variation with a chicken pie social that brought in $32. Then she’ got the schoolteachers to make up among them a purse of $25. Then she had an old folks’ dance that was so- popular that even a violent storm could not keep people away. ‘Net result, $47. four walls of a classroom for too long periods is a great error.

It should be prescribed as in Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, St. Paul and many other cities, It i8-best to place it in the ‘fourth or fifth year, as these children seem to be most at- tracted by school garden work, and if taught in these years in after years a great many of them will take it up at home. “A great many soclal bettermentor- ganizations have encouraged children to clean up their:back yards, to beau- NMENT ILLUB- CHILDREN OF OITY—ENVIRO!

This work has progress- ed with little notion of its educational value. Its training power has been thought of as incidental to the great work of making better living condi- tlons. “No matter how much of value may be ascribed to the other points “of view, the real.value of school garden- ing arises from the fact that it is an integral part of the education of chil- Then she got the ladles of the Wom- an’s Christian Temperance :‘union to have a sale of fancy articles and a ten cent supper, and that meant $37 more. Then she had another old folks' dance. Life in Waukau had: become Jnst ono-long gay whirl; hnt. . what wiib the entertalnments and private sul- scriptions and.donations of ‘things for Mrs. Macdougall to sell, $1,250 had been contributed, and Waukau had a stone bridge and a cement ‘sidewalk from the depot to the bridge. More- over, the bridge has a’gas pipe railing, and the total cost of bridge and rai¥ng was $345. ‘The people over in “Canada,” the part of Waukau north of the bridge, came to Mrs. Macdougall for help. They wanted a sidewalk too. They needed 1t more than the other half because the lay of their land was lower. Mrs. Mac- dougall began all over again. Again she fed Waukauans on chicken pie and ice cream. Again Waukau whirled in the dance. When she had got togetber $350 the Canada sidewalk was beguh. It isn’t finished, and the money is not in hand to pay for all of it. Mrs. Mac- dougall says that about $500 more is needed. ~She says getting money out of Waukau now is like getting blood out of a turnip. Of course the men voters of Waukau helped Mrs. Macdougall materially in all this. One gave her $15, one gave her $2, an Omro merchant gave her 15 cents, two of them gave her the gravel needed, a musician played at one of her dances for nothing, a great many gave promises, and any number gave advice, not forgetting' Tom Malady, now of Elk River, 1da., but once of Waukau. He sent a check for $25. If any other woman who has ever faced and solved a civic problem of this constructive nature knows of any new ways of raising money that might work in jaded Waukau, Mrs. Macdou- gall would like to.get into immediate communication with ber. For Sunny Spots. Among the many showy flowering plants for very dry places none ex- cels the common blue plumbago. It is doubtful if we have another plant that will blossom so freely under ex- tremely hard conditions. Among her- baceous plants the common lavénder will thrive under equally hard treat- ment and lack of treatment. We so freely water poinsettiag that . one would scarcely; credit them with being nearly at the top of the list of drought resistant plants. After the first year in the garden-it really matters little whether they are watered or not. In growing and flowering season they are both hungry and' thirsty and can safely be watered and fertilized very heavily, and with profit too. In strictly flower plants the common petunia will bloom profusely throughout our hottest and driest months.without food or water, and seedlings seem to dq,as well when left alone as when too mtch coddled.— Los Angeles Times, SCHOOL GARDENS™ VALUABLE. —_— Child Should Be Educated Out of Doors as Wall as In."

Plants Must Be Well Fed, Well Culti- vated and Not Crowded. In the Woman’s Home Companion Frank A, Waugh, a well known expert, writes an article, entitled “First Aid In the Garden,” an extract from which follows: “Prevention is better than cure in the garden as in the home. ' “First and foremost, beyond all else important, is the ability to resist dis- ease, This comes with good health and exuberant growth. Plants which are well fed, well cultivated, not “over- crowded and have a proper allowance of water, and which are therefore mak- Ing sound and vigorous growth, rarely acquire any serious plant diseases. BEven insects, strange though it may seem, seldom attack a perfectly healthy plant or, at any rate, they nearly al- ways appear first and most viclously on those plants or crops already weak- ened by disease or neglect. ‘Thus good care and proper -general management are the first and most important meth- ods of combating plant diseases.” Testimony of a Back Yard. “ I never saw my neighbor or his wife, but nothing could ever convince me they are not both excellent people, be- cause my window overlooks their back yard, and their back yard has a clean ‘carpet of turf and trees and several llac bushes beautifully in bloom, and jall without ‘a trace of careless dis- fgurement.

By reason of the cool, moist weath- er which has been prevalent over the entire Northwest, the soil has not dried out as usual, and the crops have not shown the same degree of growth as in normal years. Many therefore think that there is an abundance of moisture in the soil. From a . crop production standpoint this is not generally the case. Let it be Temembered that the soil became ex- ceedingly dry during the years 1910 and 1911, and the rainfall since that period has not been in excess of the normal. The immense cfop of 1912, together with the very dry fall season, depleted the sofl moisture to a point where only an excess of rain can possibly bring it back to a safe condition. We have not had this ex- cess of rain or its equivalent in snow. ‘With these conditions existing, it behooves: the. farmer ‘to look careful- ly to his cultivation methods. A good dust mulch should be established and maintained, and the woeds kept down, for they are molsture users.
