Struggling obstinately 70 stem the

mates oi the subway are to-day doing
their best to block the introduction
of modern cars OF the type that all
the rest OF the country has enjoyed
for many years, Double doors are
to-day giving the first relief 10 the
outrageous subway crush on one ex-
perimental train, over the prepara-
ton OF which the railway men have
delayed for months. While the city
experts and passengers Of this long
looked-for train are expressing great
satisfaction at the workings Of the
double door system, every official OF
the company is doing his best % clog
its operation and attempt 10 show Il
failure. The money it will cost to
remodel their cars as they should
have been made Is the stake for
which the traction men are playing,
and their game is held and full Of

that have trampled, squeezed, poked

WELLS GLEN

The bill authorizing boroughs to
buy forest lands adjacent for park
purposes has become law. 1t may
be hoped that now under its provis
ions the Borough may acquire pos
session Of Wells Glen. Life is uncer
tain and time brings many changes.
A sentiment which may be keenly
alive in the breast of q son OF daugh
ter for an old home, or family pos.
session, may not survive in the nexI
generation. Other considerations
may prevail and see every day
the titles to lands which have beer
handed down for several generations
passing into the hands of strangerF.
Should the Glen, which is a natural
and almost indispensable adjunct to
the town, become the property of the
Borough it can be preserved for all
time in the name of wells Glen''
and so perpetuate the memory of one
who was a great benefactor of the
place and who took great pleasure
and pride in the Glen and in having
it known by his name. If such sale
was made proper restrictions and
limitations can be placed on its use
so that 1t may remain an ornament
and never be desecrated by improper
uses. Greed is rampant and in the
Vicissitudes of this life the Glen
might fall into the possession of
some one who would simply CONNER
cialize it and so make it a detriment
to the morals of the town, and re.
proach to the name of Wells. Mr.
Wells left no sons to perpetuate his
name, but the Glen, endowed with
1t In Deed, would be more lasting
monument than even a family name
or than any other that can be erec.
ted. Names die out. buildings burn,
oven towns dedicated to family
names suffer changes, but lands are
stable, and with q restriction in a
deed that the place should always be
known as Wells GIsn' or if changed
revert to the heirs of the original
owner it would fix it for all time,
and prevent any lapse, should there
ever be desire on the part of any
in future to change the mama. 1t
seems that before any of the calam-
tiles which befall families happen to
that of MIR. Wells, which has so far
remained intact, that the matter of
having the town own "Wells Glen"
should be consummated.

EEulching Potatoes

In the growing Of potatoes on a
small scale, in tho garden or in tho
"aerly patch" for summer use, fairly
satisfactory results can be obtained
by mulching. The method, however
is practicable only when the mulch
iug material is cheap Old hay OF
straw can 90 used, and should be
spread about four inches deep just
before the plants appear, and after
the ground has been narrowed once
or twice after planting. To grow in
this manner rather large seed pieces
should be planted two or three inches
deep, while the hills can be placed
either lSxls or 1924 inches. This
is the advice given by the Division
of Zoology at Harrisburg.

James j. Hill was in Washington
this week and after paying his COM

tory" prevalent in the Senate wing
Of the Capitol over the tariff bill, de-
clared that the "West and the South
are to be the great sections of this
country in the future. The West is
now, for that matter, and the South
is coming forward with leaps and
bounds. The South exhausted her
soil before the war by her methods
of improvident agriculture, and is
now struggling to restore the soil,
She is succeeding too, and has a
great future" Senator Scott of
West Virginia was so impressed with
the truth of Mr.. Hills remarks anent
the superhuous speech making on
she subject of that tariff that he had

President Taft and the Attorney
General have formulated a plan for
buying supplies for all the govern
ment departments through a central
board. This movement is in the in.
terest of economy In government
purchases and is in keeping with the
suggestion make by the President at
his first cabinet meeting, when he
created ''budget" committee com.
posed Of three cabinet members,
with the Secretary OF the Treasury
as chairman, to supervise all esti.
mates for federal expenses before
th' y are submitted to Congress. The
President is Of the opinion that many
thousand of dollars can be saved b.
collective purchase Of supplies for
all departments. On investigation
it. has been shown, for instance that
in the case of rubber bands one de-
partment was paying fifty per cent
more for the same article than an.
other department, and it has been
found, also, that great discrepancy
exists in the prices paid by the vau
Gus departments for waste baskets,
stationary, pens, irk, mucilage, glue
clips, etc. Another feat
ure Of the proposed plan is govern.
ment ownership of an ice plant as 1t
is claimed that the ice combination
bas fixed such prices as 1t plsases for
