DO you know of any woman who ever received any
benefit from taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com

If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar

surprised at the result There is hardly community in
this country where cannot be found who have been

exclusively from simple formula Of roots and herbs

The Time to Plant.
So little has been done In this mat
ter of growing winter cover crops be
tween the rows of cotton that we are
not entirely sure when is the best
time to plant each of the various
crops that may be used. There Is q
mechanical difficulty, too, in many
cotton fields by reason of the fact
that many of the branches of the cot
ton plant reach across the row and
intermingle so that 1t seems quite
impossible to drive horse through
the row to cover seed that may be
sowed in the fall months. On poor
upland soil where the growth of the
cotton stalk is very small it is quite
easy to do this and it Is really these
soils that need winter legumes. To
sow the winter grains in the cotton
field at the time the crop is laid by
seems to be too early, but If not done
at that time the only other desirable
time seems to be Immediately after
the first picking, for at that time the
seed could be sowed and covered with
one-horse cultivator without knock
ing off any of the cotton. The ad.
vantage of the bur clover in the mat.
ter of time of sowing is that it may
be sowed when the cotton is laid by
or even earlier, and it will not get
too large during the fall. The seeds
are slow in starting and are not like.
ly to show much before October, even
though the seed are sowed in July.
Winter Cover Crops and all Flowing.
There has been much said about
the advantage of plowing the land in
the fall in preparing for cotton and
corn the following year. The writer
is believer in the advantage of fall
plowing and he is also believer in
the advantage of winter cover crops
In the fall, and these ideas, in a meas
ure, conflict. For instance, If the |
land is plowed in the fall it is nearly |
to have a legume for a
winter crop, although 1t Is possible |
to use winter grains for that purpose. |
Oats, barley, wheat, or rye can be |
sowed after the fall plowing is done
and these will prevent the washing |
of the soil during the winter months
and will add some humus the soil.
The farmer must be his own judge
as to what plan to follow. 1t. is good
to plow in the fall and to have a
cover of winter grain which can be
plowed down in the spring for the
next crop of cotton or corn. It is
also good to have wintr cover Of the
clovers Or vetches, even though this
negatives the idea of fall plowign.
In some circumstances perhaps one
plan is the better, and in other cir
the opposite plan should
)e followed. Indeed, one could alter
nate these plans, plowing in the fall
,rie year and having cover of win
er legumes the following year If
lie fall blowing could be done in Oc-
ober there might still be time to sow
winter yetches, but the changes are
gainst their success when soWed so

Jewell. lot of settlements. some of them
of good size and others not so large.
In this vicinity is to be found Franklin
Park. where people are buying lots for
the purpose of having a site for homes
for themselves. 1t is a new subdivision
being promoted by Moore & Hill. real es-
tate brokers. who have completed the de-
velopment and the sale of the we'll known
Cleveland Park subdivision. This prop
erty embraces over $40 acres of land. and
has been subdivided into large lots and
villa sites. 1t Is stated that 1t is the
largest subdivision about the National
capital.
A large force Of men and teams has
been at work for about six months plant
ing trees. grading streets. building side
walks and developing the property into q
park. An attractive station has been
built, called Franklin Park. and gasoline
street lamps have been put in position.
This place is known in history as the
camping ground of troops when defending
the national capital during the civil war
Over thirty homes are now under con-
struction at Franklin Park and between
this point and Washington.
One sees a good deal of what 1t means
for a city to grow he speeds along in

the attractions of that place good many
passengers. especially in these days OF

TO buy homes. In the good proportion
of cases they do not want to attempt
to buy anything that would cost much
more than 5000.
OF course, many houses are sold that
bring from two to four thousand dollars
more. When $4,000 is reached that ap-
pears to be a limit beyond which the
demand is smaller. Within these limits
remarkably good. especially in view Of
its comparative long continuance. 1t
seems to some observers that Ii is i'm
possible for this condition to keep up, and
men are asking themselves and each
other how long 1t is going to last
Houses Are Attractive.
The only answer that can be made
to such a question is one that really
does not throw any light on the mat
ter, and is, therefore, not really an an
swer, and that is the one which informs
you 1t is going to continue as long as the
population of the city keeps on growing.
But even that answer, unsatisfactory in
way as 1t is, does not account for an
other element in the situation. and that
is the character and style of the houses
offered and the terms on which they can
be bought.
There is no question that both, but
especially the latter. is appealing to
lot of people who nave been renting tnelr
homes because they have not been able
to see their way to starting on the road
to becoming owners of the houses in
which they live. But II Is demonstrated
in the columns of the newspapers and
through statesmen that man can ac-
tually meet the interest on the deferred
payments and at the same time monthly
make perceptible reductions I'm the
amount Of the principal OF the debt, and
all the while the monthly payments do
not amount to any more In some cases
than what they have been paying In rent.
1t is not surprising that people are
now buying houses who have lived in
this city good many years, and have
had monthly settlements with their land
lords. At the same time. as has been
pointed out. this change in conditions
does not account for all Of the sur
prsing market for houses. The infux
Of people to the city is. after all. an Inn
portant factor in the situation.

PARK FEATURE OF L'ENFANT'S
PLAN JUSTIFIED BY TIME
Contended That the Plan of Providing Frequent
and Accessible Retreats Should Be
Extended tothe Suburbs.

At this season Of the year there is so
much out-of-door life in the experience of
most people, or at least there can be for
those living in this city. that more atten-
ton Is given to the parks and the open
places than at almost any other period Of
the year 1t is an attractive spectacle.
the groups Of children running about over
the grass and playing under the trees in
the circles or parks of the city. and the
sight is enjoyed by those who are saun-
tering about or sitting on the benches
At the same time they get the fresh air
and are benefited by the peaceful and
beautiful surroundings of foliage and
lawn.
The features about such a pleasure for
the citizens of Washington is that 1t is
not necessary to go far from home in
order to reach one Of those breathing
places They are to be found scattered
through the city. and so wherever one
lives these spots are accessible, where the
tired citizen may go or where the chill
dren can be taken for their daily outings
These squares and circles and triangles
formed by the unique system OF streets
where the checker-board plan is overlaid
by long transverse avenues have become
the ornament of the city.
For years the despair of the municipal
authorities. who sought to make the
meager public funds perform the impos-
sible task of caring for such broad streets
and public spaces. and also the cause Of
constant rfdicule and as well of morti-
flying conditions, it was difficult to under
stand or to appreciate that anything
could be done with such a hopelessly inn
practical plan.
However. 1t is easy to understand now
the merits as well as the advantages of
such an arrangement of the space within
a city. and the very features of the plan
that for years appeared to be chimerical
and even foolish have been retained in
the system adopted in the extension of
the streets beyond the original limits of
the city. The notifications made to
adapt the scheme to subdivisions already
cluded. would involve too great expense
