Hulten, pastor of the First Bap tist Church, declared that money and liquor had been freely used "to pros titude manhood and foster anarchy" in the recent municipal primaryt not sparing prominent members of his own congregation. He declared that the polls were steeped in slush; that votes were openly bought, and he had the evidence; that liquor was used to debauch even a prominent member of his congregation. Drug-stores, he said, took the place of open saloon here in prohibiton Charlotte, and he urged the grand jury to do its duty. Even in the ward meetings classes had been ar rayed against masses and anarchy encouraged. The congregation that heard his terrific arraignment pack ed the big edifice to the doors. Rev.

San Francisco, Cal., April 14.--A surgical operation to cure klepto mania, the first of the kind to be ac complished in the West, has been per formed by Dr. Charles A. Dukes and Dr. H. N. Rowell, assisted by Dr. A. Galbraith, at Merritt Hospital, In Oakland, on the skull of Mrs. Jean Thurnherr, known as the "Cowgirl Raffles," whose spectacular career ha8 been a puzzle to the police and to students of criminalogy. The operation was a success sur gically, and it is believed that it will prove a success from the standpoint of the psychologist and the crimin olyogist. An abnormal thickness of the skull was discovered, and this portion of the skull removed. It is the belief of the physicians and the young woman herself that it was the pressure of this abnormal spot in the skull on the lower portion of the brain that caused a mental dis ease which- manifested itself in the form of kleptomania.

He favored more stringent provifloni I and some law which would show the true source of all contribution. J "I was amazed to discover In the j report of the Democratic committee f that the largest contributor was W. jC. Beers, of New York." said Good, ; "Ik ers formerly lived In Iowa, and , I know him now as the con Aden Lai : agent of Morgan." l Several members on the Demo ! cratic side were instantly on their j feet demanding further explanation j of Good's statements, but he merely reiterated them. Representaive McGuIre (Republi can from Oklahoma) followed Good j with a second sensation, declaring j that the Oklahoma State hnt f'r j publicity of campaign contributions ( could not bel nvolved by Republicans against Democratic candidates, be cause Democratic officials ignored them. The Rucker bill was called up by Representaive Rucker .Democrat, Missouri) shortly after the House met to-day. What the Bill Aims At.

A final state ment is to be swrorn to and filed with in thirty days after the elections. Two hours general debate was al lowed. "If a great corporation magnate should give 500 of his employes $50 each ,to be paid in as a campaign con tribtuion, there would be no way of recording that, would there?" asked Representative Cooper( Republican from Wisconsin), a progressive. "No," answered Rucker. "The law could be evaded in that way and we wouldn't be able to trace such a contribution from a wealthy man." Present Aeroplane Would Stand No Show in Rifle Fire. Washington, D. C, April 16. "It is reasonable to believe that an aero plane 1,100 yards away would stand no show if only the service rifle were used.'

To so facosSdrbto xstar It depend upon what Und of 4t are on. Often absolute fall arc art caused by planting poor d that will not grow, or, still worae. freed that Is badly adulterated with terloat weeds. which entirely ruin the land for certain agricultural ptirpoe. of ten upon which tbo farmer moat de pend. That there 1 a grrat difference la the farm seed told In tb State ti forcibly shown by the difference In the reult of the analyse made at the Sed Tew ting Laboratory of the Department of Agriculture co-operating with the United Stale Depart ment. For example, the results of the 125 tests of red 'clover $ed made this spring by the Seed Laboratory ranged all the way from 50 per cent to b$.C per cent pure seed and from 20 per cent to 97 per cent germina tion. Some contained no weed seeds at all, while other contained more than SO, 000 to the pound. Some sam ples contained more than 50 per cent of dodder or love vine, which is the worst of all pests that occur In clov ers aid alfalfa. This great difference In the quality of seed 1 not only true in case of red clover, but of all the farm seeds. Not only the loss of money paid for the seeds, which Is really a small item, but the failure to obtain crops can be prevented by knowing the value of the seed which Is planted. The Department will make tests of all agricultural and vegetable seeds for any farmer in the State free of charge and reports will be sent to him promptly. In case the seed does not come up to the standard of good seed, the lot may be returned to the dealer from whom it was purchased and the money refunded or a good quality of seed given in exchange, whichever the purchaser desires. In submitting samples to be tested, for thes mailer seeds, such as red clover and the grasses, one-half of a teacup will be sufficient; for the larger seeds, such -as the cereals, more should be sent. Address all samples to the Seed Testing Laboratory, Department of Agriculture, Raleigh, N. C. with the following information: Retail price of seed and name and address of dealer from whom it was purchased Agent U. S. Department of Agricul ture Writes of Necessity of Weed ers and Harrows. Mr. C. R. Hudson, special agent of the United States Department of Ag riculture, in charge of the farmers co-operative demonstration work in North Carolina, has just mailed the following circular letter to the men who are supervising the work in their respective counties: "Again we beg to call your atten tion to the importance of inducing farmers to run weeders, harrows or other forms of light cultivators in tensively and extensively at this sea son of the year. To fail to do so Is to fail to make the biggest yields pos sible at"a minimum cost. "The first object to be accomplish ed is to prepare a proper seed-bed. Land that has been broken early should be disk-harrowed to put it in a proper mechanical condition. Land that is-just now being broken should have some form of harrow run over it the same day to pulverize turfs or clods and to prevent the evaporation of moisture. We are sure to need the moisture before the Rummer growing period is over. If .left sev eral days the clods become hard and a large amount of moisture may es cape. Keeping the soil loose on top saves the moisture. Stirring the soil lets the air into It. This makes plant food available for the use of growing crops. Plants will not grow well many days if the soil Is so compact that air cannot enter It. It also lets the sun warm the surface. The air and the sun are two great purifiers to the soil. If land is so dry that it breaks Into clods a roller should be run over it to crush them. The har row should follow immediately, oth erwise much moisture la lost. If planting is not done at once, run the harrow once or twice more. When planting Is done, do not wait for the seed to come up, but run the imple ments every eight to twelve days and continue until the corn or cotton is several Inches high. This dislodges tbe weed and grass seeds when they are germinating and destroys them before they get a hold in the soil. The farmer who uses these implements properly never sees grass In hfa fields. "Whenever a good rain settles or packs the soil, start with the weeder Just aa soon as the soil Idry enough to hold cp a horse. -To wait a sin gle day too long Is to get poor re sults from this work. This Is why we see so many farmers putting rocks or chuncks on the harrow or even riding upon it They have lost their opportunity by waiting too long to do the work. We do not need 1 any Wnd if intelligence used in the work. For light, sandy soils the weeder Is heavy enough. For stiffer soils the spike-toothed or the S w06 harrow rks well.
