Majestics' Are Best
x New Idea

The new settlers in the Imperial
valley Of Southern California have
hit upon a new wrinkle in canta-
loupe culture. The cantaloupes are
planted in the usual manner so far
as hilling and spacing is concerned,
but over each hill is stretched .
canopy of white muslin about the
size of mans pocket handker-
chief. Two arched wires are used,
crossed over the melon hill me-
what like the center wicket in .
croquet ground. The ends of these
wires are sewed to the corners
of the muslin squares and the wires
are thrust firmly into the ground.
SO as to firmly secure the canopies
and prevent the wind from blow
ing them away. These protectors
cost complete about eight cents
each, The melons respond to the
general warmth thus engendered
and are protected from winds and
frost SO as to bring on the crop
three or four weeks earlier than
c,uld otherwise be counted upon,

DISCRIMI AGAINST
Connecticut Autoists Nabbcd In New
 York. Where Others Are Immune.

New York, Sept. 29.-Snatches of heated talk In the voice of Frederick II. Bugher, second deputy police com missioner, drifted through doors and windows of the room at Mulberry street, where the bicycle patrolmen were assembled to-day. running like this;
 "Only sixteen arrests day {. won't stsnd 1t any longer must get busy petty graft
 not worth your salt |. get men who will"
 The deputy called the men together for lecture. Mir, Bugher was angry clear through. He pointed out that there were 195 men on the bicycle squad, including men on motor cycles. Then he showed them that with all this number and with all the speeding chauffeurs only sixteen arrests day on an average were made.
 To make things blacker, the deputy commissioner gave the men to under stand that he knew of their friendli- ness for New York chauffeurs, and that a large percentage of speeders arrested were men from New Jersey and Connecticut and other out-of- town places, who were naturally not known to the New York police.

Garbage Matter, Only Ghost of De- ceased Items to Bother Mem-
 bers, 10 Dc Settled.

The beard of finance have been holding meetings in city hall almost every night recently, but they have been strictly executive. They have spent all of their time in boiling down the estimates so that they will be of a size that the city treasury can meet They will hold their final meeting in few days at which they will make the allowances for the municipal ex- penditures next year. The board met at 7:30 last night and were closeted until after midnight.
 owing to the enormous needs of the departments as expressed in, their estimates, the tax rate would have to be raised from 14 3-l mills as the taxes would not be ample to pay for all the Improvements
 1t has been stated by members of the board that the garbage disposal plant. the raise in the salary of the city clerks, and several minor i'm provements and raises would be cut and that all other things have already been boiled down to the disappearing point. It has been rumored that the | fire chief will not get his automobile | This could not be confirmed as the members of the board of finance have been enjoined to keep the strictes' secrecy concerning their operations in fact they have doubled barred tho doors and shut off communication with the offices adjoining for fear ot eyes droppers
 Other matters reported to have beer scratched are the new fire headquar ters, several items in the estimates o the department of parks. reducing tn total to under SEQ GOO, several thou sand dollars worth of lamps for tn lamp department, 5000 from the II brary estimates, reduction of the nev policeemn asked to ten, and variou other matters.

THE BI-CENTENNIAL
Commemoration of 200th An niversary of Congregation
 alist Ordinance.
MIR. CHAPMAN'S ADDRESS
Platform Described by Professor Will llston Walker. of New Haycn--
 Large Attendance.

saybrook. Sept 29--The commem- oration of the two hundredth anniver- sary of the Saybrook platform, an or- dlnance and constitution often referred to in doctrinal discussions brought to- gether many Congregatonalists at the Saybrook Congregational church today. The program was arranged by the MIddlesex conference. The saybrook platform was described by both Prof. Williston Walker of the Yale Divinity school and the Rev. Dr. Samuel Hart, dean of the Berkeley Divinity school (Episcopalian) of Middletown, who made addresses of an historical char acter.
 The platform took It's name from the ecclesiastical synod which met here on September 2, lIOs, by appointment of the Colonial legislature of Connecticut. lt had an attendance of twelve minis ters and four layrnen representing the ten Congregational churches of each county Into which the colony was then divided
 In his address to-day, Professor Walker said the synod prepared an ecclesiastical constitution by which the ministers of the commonwealth were grouped in associations of fixed geog- raphlcal boundaries. The object of the constitution was to promote order and harmony among the ministers and the churches, and to provide more definite and effective means of settling such difficulties as might arise in ad- ninstration than had existed In New England colonies Its chief signifi- canoe froil a political point of view was that 1t was promptly approved by the Colonial legislature and the churches which accepted 1t were de. clared by that body established by law" The platform was in legal fore, until 17s4. and governed the practic, of the Congregational churches of tho state generally until far Into the nine teenth century. Some of the organi zations founded under 1t still exist.
 The Rev. Mir. Chapman. local pastor in his address said; T welcome you t' serious consideration Of the problem which our Congregational churces fac to day, due to their exaggeratlon of In dividualism. The platform did not con cern Itself primarily with sound doc urine. IL sought for better mastery ol 'iAe fine art of rwisig together i peace and mutual helpfulness. It an art In which we still need to per feet ourselves"
 Dr. Hart referred to the commemora ton in June over the grave of Fries Buckingham (who presided. and the dealt with the men who made up tn synod and the significance of their Ia bors, and the influence upon the col onies,
 Among the other speakers who mad addresses were the Rev. Dr. Lewelly Pratt of Norwich, the Rev E, II. Bur of Tvoryton. and the Rev. A. W. Haze of Middletown president of the Middle sex Historical society.
