C. A. Staranowicz and former City Attorney J. A. Jadrich in Cireuit Court, The testimony of Atty. Staranowicz, aged 24, today provided a sensation.

J. Donovran called at my office, "Staranowicz tes-- tifled, they wanied to know if they could 'fAix' things so that they could have the contract.

Fine, thick rows Of seedlings look .so tempting that Often the thinning process is neglect-- ed until so late that the plants don't have & fair chance when it is done. Thinning should start as soon as the germination is apparent and assured. Pull out extra plants rigorously until the remainder are at the proper dis-- tance apart in the rows for their best dAevelopment. PROSECUTION _ TIGHTENS Aitorneys J. A. Jadrich and C. A.

Two injunctions were issued today in the circuit court closing the places of ~Martin Zimmerman: and .Henry Herman of Antioch, and-- Charles Kasper and Mary Kaspriyk of North Chicago. 1t is charged that the pro-- hibitory law has> been violated in these places following restraining or-- ders to prevent them from keeping liquor on the premises. On objection, the court also refused to permit Jadrich to answer the ques-- tion--as to whether be had called the Deacon matter--to the ~ attention ~of State's Attorney Smith becéuse the mayor had 'fired' Staranowicz as city attorney and did not give Jadrich any work in the spreading of tpecial as-- sessments. * Mayor to Take Stand.

Turnips about the same, Pare-- nips are often spoiled by leaving them growing in a mass. Judicious thinning would --give a much greater crop by giving much larger individual roots. Thinning among the root crops is es-- pecially needed and must be watched closely as the crowding of the roots will not show above ground while the foilage is luxuriant but when it comes to harvesting the thin roots will tell the tale of neglect. If the planting is not large, instead of pulling out the .young plants and throwing them away in the thinning process, they may be transplanted very easily,. String beans sown six and seven to a hill should be thinned to three or four if all the seeds come up. Cucumbers often sown a handfal to a hill to save enough from the bugs for a crop should be thinned to three or four plants at most.
