Three-story Building to the Pavement.
A Ladder Breaks His Fall.
While working on the roof of three
story building on Detroit street, John
Rogers, of No. loo Alabama street,
Cleveland, O., lost his balance and fell
sixty feet to the ground.
He was drawing up gravel and while
leaning over pulling on the guy rope, 1t
broke and he fell. About 80 feet from
the sidewalk he struck a ladder which
stood against the building. This broke
the force of his fall. But he fell upon
the pavement head foremost and his fell
low workmen picked him up uncon-
scious.
The ambulance was summoned and he
was taken to st. Johns hospital where
it was fully ten hours before he regained
consciousness. No bones were broken
nor did he sustain any internal injuries
as was first feared. To a reporter he

Okra or gumbo is universally grown
in the southern states and until very
recently was generally propagated
from home raised seed. Being en-
phatically southern plant, of course
the home grown seed are the best
However, new varieties are occasion
ally introduced, and these must be
purchased OF our seedsmen. The Tall
Growing variety is the old standby,
but the newer varieties, Density,
Dwarf Green, Dwarf White, French
Market, Perkins Mammoth Pod and
White Velvet, have been introduced
and thoroughly tested. While in yield
none is equal to the Tall Growing.
yet the Velvet Dwarf White and Densi-
ty are earlier and perhaps more deli
cate in quality. A succession would
include some of the earlier varieties
with the Tall Growing, planted later,
to furnish full supply throughout the
summer and up to frost.
