It the garden is made in straight rows and in-beds of uniform size and shape it will not only ‘present a more, attractive appearance, thus adding to the gardener’s pride in his work, but it will be much easier to. cultivate. This latter fact is an important item for consideration, as the average city resident ‘has none too much ‘time in which to cultivate his garden and the work must be done if results are to be obtained. - Frequent plowing, as much work as possible: with the hoe, and extermination of every .weed that ‘shows its head above the ground—all to produge to the limit of its capac- ity. {5 To Insure that the rows will be per- fectly straight all that is necessary s a length of strong cord sufficlent to reach fror end to end of the garden's longest dimension. At each end of the cord fasten a stout stake about two feet long and sharpened at one end so the stakes may easily be thrust into the soil. In city and town gardens, where the space is restricted, it is best to have the rows run the long way of the garden—north to south if possi- ble—planting several kinds of slmilar- iy grown vegetables, like green onjons, carrots, radishes, etc, in' the same row. : If you plant such crops as beets, radishes and onions in beds these can be made four to six Inches high by digging narrow paths around the beds with a hoe and throwing the soil upon the beds. When the drainage of the garden is not good it is well to grow cabbage, caulifiower and similar crops on small ridges thrown up with spade or hoe. Other crops, among them early peas and celery, should be planted in shal- fow trenches scooped out with a hoe. When these plants grow the sofl is gradually . worked back around the roots. Since hoeing must start early and sometimes when the soll becomes caked above the planted seeds it is necessary to break it, a few quick- growing radish seeds' plante® with other .gorts will ‘quickly. spring up and show where the rows gre.

FILIPINO SCHOOL CHILDREN. The latest school census in the Philippines shows that there are about 66,000 Filipino children at- tending school. For them there are 11,000 native teachers and 500 American instructors. When the United States took hold of educa- tion in the islands there were 800 American teachers. At ‘first the Philippine teachers assumed charge of the primary work, then the inter- mediate, and now some are teaching in the high schools.—Argonaut. How Are They Biting?

D., May 11.—How $30,000 was raised by A. C. Town- ley in Bismarck in collateral fur- nished by Red River Valley farm- ers in the form of league and Equity Packing plant notes, for the purchase ‘| of the Courier-News, was indicated . when F. E. Shepard produced .at a bankruptcy hearing the cancelled draft for $30,000 indorsed to the league exchange by F. B. Wood and reindorsed by F. G. Fentress and Charles E. Marsh, former owners of the paper. Mr. Shepard testified that the note on which the draft had been issued had been discharged partly through farmers taking up notes and pre- dated checks furnished by Townley as collateral and partly by a draft from league headquarters. Mr. Shep- ard also stated that some of this col- lateral;, dated back in 1916, still re- mained in local hands for collection.

Methodist church in At- lanta or a southern Methodist church in Seatlle, The Methodist churches cannot wisely longer march in sep- arate columns under separate organi- zations.” INTERESTING SOUVENIR Mrs. Jule Achenbach has received a most interesting souvenir from her husband, Sergeant Achenbach, who is now in France.

Tenstrike turned. out to welcome the visitors and the stop was of short duration, To Blackduck wended the calva- cade where another stop was made and again the band played and the guard paraded, there being a large turnout of the people of the town. Courtesy of Turtle River. Another outstanding féature of the trip was the act of Turtle River. The main road over which the autos passed is about a mile distant’ from the village. At one side of the road, on an elevation close to where the cars. were obliged to pass, stood a long line of men, women and chil- dren, flags waving and the ehildren all dressed in their ‘Sunday . best. They had come to do the honors to the occasion, the trip of the loyalists in their pilgrimage of lnptilling pa- triotism. . At “one' end of ‘the line stood J.. B.- Smith and Gaptain’ T. F. Maher, both carrying large flags. Both are veterans of the Civil war and wear the bronze button, com- memorative of the days when they fought to maintain the solidity of the nation. They are the only twe veterans in Turtle River and are in- tensly patriotic. Compliment. Returned, , ..
