A VI I "K DELEGATED TO
SENTENCE HER HTBBY
West Hammond, Ind., March 4.
Thomas Lickey is thanking his lucky
star today for whatever It was that
prompted Judge Frank Green to al
low his wife to Impose sentence on
him for hurling sundry breakfast dish
es at her head. Judge Green gave
Mrs. Lickey a free hand.
Lickey went pale. Visions -of Iron
bars and prison fare until June at
least stared him In the face.
Mrs. Lickey wept softly and
marched to the bench.
"Thomas." she sobbed, "I sentence
you "
"For the love of Mike, be reason
able, Mary." interrupted Lickey.
Mrs. Lickey brushed away her tears
and braced herself.
"Thomas," she continued, "I sen
tence you to 10 days 'separation from
me."
Judge Green gasped. Mrs. Lickey
continued to weep, while Thomas
thanked Judge Green as partly re
sponsible for his 10 days of solid rest.

SALARY OF LORD MAYOR
CAUSES DUBLIN TROUBLE
Again the salary of the Lord Mayor
of Dublin Is giving trouble. Originally
after much discussion, it was fixed at
3,600 pounds or about $18,000 a year.
It was reduced a few months ago on
account of the distress prevailing in
the city, to J8.000. Then it was raised
again, and reduced again, all within
the past month. The new Lord Mayor
declares that he will not allow public
meetings or entertainments to be held
at the Mansion House during his ad
ministration. He will use his own
home in the suburbs in order to dem
onstrate that it is impossible to main
tain the dignity of the office on 18,-000.
. The sign posting car of the Auto
mobile Club of America Is ploughing
Its way through frozen ruts, mud,
snowdrifts and slush. The touring bu
reau has mapped out so much work
that the car can not afford to delay
and wait for good roads. The old iron
signs erected by the club in the early
days of its sign posting campaign have
become in many cases defaced and
Illegible.

Gardening Expert Talks.
The Stanfield Fruit Growers' asso
ciation was yesterday favored with a
visit from Prof A. G. Boquet, garden
ing expert of the state agricultural
college at Corvallls. and Prof. R. E.
Alien, superintendent of the experi
mental station at Hermlston. They
were taken for a drive through the
project, which gave them an oppor
tunity to make a brief study of local
conditions. Meetings were held dur
ing the afternoon and evening.
Mr. Boauet in his address, empha
sized the fact only two varieties of
vegetables, onions and potatoes, are
actual money producers to any con
siderable extent in the state of Ore
gon, and urged the farmers and or
chardists In this vicinity to increase
this line of production, which the
speaker said would without question
brine splendid financial returns If
properly handled.
He expressed the opinion that all
conditions here are favorable to the
profitable growing of many kinds of
vegetables, especially onions, celery
and asparagus; also cantaloupes ana
watermelons. all of which can be
easily handled along with fruit grow
ing. The fact was also emphasized
that limited Irrigation and frequent
cultivation are of utmost Importance
Mr. Boquet was followed by Mr.
Allen, who gave an instructive talk
on the selection of planting and care
of trees, and also called attention to
the advantages of planting wind
brakes, recommending black locust,
for the protection of orchards. Mr.
Allen advised caution in the plant
ing of crops between the trees, refer
ring particularly to the importance of
seeing that such crops of vegetables,
berries, etc., are planted in a man
ner that will not Interfere with proper
Irrigation and cultivation of trees. To
add humus to the soil, the speaker
recommended the seeding of vetch or
rye to be ployed under in the spring,
The meeting was very Interesting
and helpful, being well attended
quite a number being In from Butter
creek. This was the second big
meeting of the week, the first one be
ing addressed bv Prof W. K. Newell,
president of the Oregon Btate board
of horticulture last Monday after
noon. Prof Sidney Archer rendered
several piano and vocal solos which
were greatly enjoyed.

as well as many of the older settlers
are members.

The weekly lesson in Sunday school
dealt with the corrupting Influence of
luxury and worldllness and the golden
text was a well-known sentence that
the superintendent wished all the chl-1
dren to remember.
It sounded like an easy text to
learn and the superintendent, mount
ing the platform for a final review of
the lesson when the school assembled
for closing exercises, was sure of a
pleasing response from his pupils.
"Who," he began, "can repeat the
golden- text "
A score of hands were raised and
the superintendent chose a little grrl
with blue eyes, a well-bred, well-behaved
little girl from a well-to-do
and "particular" family, to repeat the
text for him. ,
"Well, Dorothy," ho said, 'Vou

gradual change has been noticed In
the weather since Friday and today
a slight sprinkle of rain began In the
morning and Is slowly growing stead
ier and stronger as the day progress

result is that the streams have been
rising two feet a day. The rain will
Increase this more and floods are ex
