WARREN LEE GOSS HOME GARDEN ENTHUSIAST One of Nation’s Famous Authors De- scribes Intensive Farming—Proud of His Back Yard Crops. Mention was made a short time ago that Warren Lee Goss, now of Ruthef- ford, N. J., had had an cceident in which he had badly injured his risht ifand, which he put out -to save him- self when he had a fall. That acci- dent happened, not in_Rutherford, but in New York, where Mr, Goss slipped while on the City Hall steps, where he zoes every week to see a friend, and as business requires. The hand is so much less painful that the band- ages have been removed and Mr. Goss is now able to type his correspond- ence, by using one er two fingers cau- ticusly. Former Norwich Resident. Everybody in Norwich knows of Mr. Goss as one of the nation’s successful authors of war stories, as well as an ardent member of Sedgwick Post, G. A. R, and ence national patriotic in- structer for the Grand Army. Until a skort time before the death of Nis wife; who was the daughter of. Rev. Henry Torbush, a Norwich dentist, the family home was on East Main street, where the Alice building now stands. Of laté vears, Mr. Goss has made his home with his on, Harry T. Goss and the latter’s wife, in Ru- therford. ‘ Home Gardenjng. Writing 16 a Norwich acquaintance about the “home garden” in which be has taken so much pleasure this sea. son ‘Mr. Goss, with characterfstic fu* mor says: “My sarden? It feet by seventy-five in size. * by garden last fall by digging uader the cornst: vines and weeds, be- sides” leaves from the street trees. 1 began planting in March, four beds cf onions, 2 bed of beets,” another of Farrots, another of head" lettuce ‘and two rows of string beans. When I saw"a big bauk of snow fali on these beds, I thought ] must be: a trifie ahead of the season! Jt did mot, how- ever, do any harm to them and I had all the onions and beets and carrots and parsnips I needed for my table and some over. “I planted about twenty hills of pole limas and about the same of Old Homestead pole beans, and had a big crop—all we needed for the table un- tl October 10th, and as you will see by list made by my daughter, some over. “T’ planted my sweet corn pretty close—for® want of room—and my daughter says she has gathered about two hundred ears from the garden. My earliest corn was the Little Yellow Bantam which was unusually large and sweet; the rest was a variety known as dwarf White Cob Corey, very fine. ‘1 gathered my first corn the 20th of July and my last late in October. “The ‘best of my crop was health. There is more health in a garden than there is in a drug store! The Joy of Digging. “A garden. such as I have, can be cultivated and planted and spaded by putting in about a half hour a day. I hoe my garden a little more than Gther people because I like to,do it. (I know that T am nearing my sec- ond childhood, for I am so fond—like younger children—ot digging in the Qirt!). “I forgot to teil you about my to- matoes. I planted about fitteen vines in a space of about seven by nine feet. To_ give them sun, I drove down a stake at each vine ‘and as they grew, tied the vines to the stakes. I had a prodigous crop; all I needed for my table, some to give away, and lots over, as you will see by my davghter's list. . As tomatoes sold here four for fitteen cents, it certainly paid to raise them!" Canned and Preserved, . Accompanying Mr. Goss's interest- ing letter is @ list prepared by his daughter, Mrs. Hasry Goss, of the following results of the home sarden, “conserved” as one means of winning the war: Canmed—Tomatoes 13 quarts: string beans, $ quarts: lima beans, 1 quart: kidney beans, 1 quart; corn, 1 quart; carrots 2 quarts: beets 3 quarts; green tomato pickles, 7 pints:; grape jelly, 12 glasses; currant Jelly, '6 glasses. Intensive Farming. As Mr. Goss was born in Brewster, Mass., Aug. 19, 1835, .consequently i now a busy and sprishtly young per- son of 82, he is setting & good exam- ple to those owners of city yards who grumble that they cannot raiss “rops” because they do not have the land or the time, or are too old, or deem intensive farming too hard work.

Lathrop for the Dast two years has resigned her position and has entered the employ of The Plaut-Cadden Co.. as stemographer.

WESTERLY Boatman Tuesday Morning Discovers Bedy of Mrs. Emily J. Crouch—Mo- tion For Non-Suit Denied in Case of MacNeil—Local Me ve. William F. Donchue of Westerly and Miss Hattie lsabelle Yerrington, of Norwich, Married, Early Tuesday moraing as Bdward Durfee pushed his skift {rom the shore, to row acrass the Pawcatuck river to the Cottreil plant, where he is employed, he discoyercd the body of a woman in_the mver. It is evi- dent that the body hud been under the skiff And wien the boat w driven a few strokes a portion of the body was seon above the curface. Mr. Durfee called for assistance and the body was tied to a post and notifica- tion sent to the police. Dr. John L. May, medical examiner, was notified and, accompanied by 'Police <Chief Brown, viewed the body in the river at the foot of Margin street and oi- dered the removal to local underiak- ing_rooms. s ¥xamination was made of the body by Medieal Examiner May. but there was nothing to indicate foul play, and in his opinion it is a clear case of suicide drowning. The body was probably mot in the water more than twelve hours., The woman was neat dressed, the outcr garment beins biue, fluffy material. She is of ave- rage build, with hair tinged with gray and is perhaps fifty years of age. The medical examiner and. the police are endeavoring to establish the identity of the woman. It is believed she was a resident of Westerly or Pawcatuck. Late Tuesday night it was ascer- tained that the drowned woman is Mr: Emily J. Crouck. 54, of 34 Clark street. home of Albert Pendleton, near where the body was found. She has been ruissing since Sunday evening and her hat was seen on_the river bank Mon- day morning; se it is probable_the tody had been in the water since Sun- day night. She is survived by her husband, & gon and a daushter. The son, John Crouch, was onme of the 30 boys' selocted from the Fifth company for foreign service . apd is now in France. _Since the son sailed, his raether has been despondent and fre- quently threatened to conthit suicide. When the plaintifi rested in the case of David of New York, against Archibal Neil, of Bridge- port, Tuesgay JDOIMINE. in the supc ior court for Wasiiington county, in session at Wester]y, Mr. Fallon, of counsel for defendanis announced that he had a motion to make-to the court &nd the jurers were escorted to the jury rdom. . Motion was made for a non-suit, on the ground that it had not been established hiow much mon- ey had beem paid to Connors and Symes, between Sept. 14 to Dec. 24, when Symes took charge of the work of building a_cottage at Musicolony for Mr. and Mrs. McNeil, for which they expected to pay $4,000 and which cast them $11,000. There was nothing to show whether the McNeils owned ymes a balance of one cent or $100,- 030, It was urged that therc was nothing to show that authority was siven the architect to order any ex- tras in the comstruction of the buHd- ing. Tt was stated farther in support of the motion for non-suyit that the plaimtift aid not know what propor- tion” of thé money pald Connors and Svmes was spent for extras, or was used in performance of the regular contract. - The eclalms were combat- ted ‘Attorney- Ratbbun, of council for plaintiff and the motion fcr non- snit_denied.

The suit is for-a balance of nearly $3.000, alleged to be due the contrac- tor, on orders from the architect. who it is elaimed acted for the defondants. Tho case was not_concluded when court adjourned to Wednesday morn- ing at 10.30. Upon the nominatien of Major John W. Keefe, M. D., of Providencs, head the medical advisory system for Rhode Island, President Wilson has appointed as the board for the West- erly district, Drs. Johu Champlin, Mi- chael H. Secanlon, Frank I_Payne, Charies 'H. Fearney and Rowiand Robinson. ' The medical boards will conduct examinmations in all cases where registrants make claim for ex- emption on_the ground of physical disabllity. Specialists in all branches of medicine were selected for the ad- visory boards in order that registrants may have the benefit of competent ex- pert examination. 1t is believed that with the assistance of these addition- al physicians examinations will be more thorough, preventing the large number of rejections at camp result- ing in the first draft from baste, or, Dperhaps, incompetency. The memi- Ders of the board are to Serve with- cut pay. When registrants are not satisfled with the examination of se- lective board physicians, they will be sent to the medical advisory board, for final examination. The Westerly probate court.
